Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Because of this method, how should I put it?

It's actually very clever.

Money can definitely be a huge motivator. This isn't just empty promises; promises that are unattainable are the real promises. Putting money in a contract, something tangible and visible, is what motivates people.

Some parents may pay more attention to their child's academic performance.

This concern was resolved when Xia Yuan's teaching team joined the film crew.

With academic worries gone, the only remaining concern is material things.

Leaving behind a wave of encouragement.

How much you earn in the future depends entirely on yourself.

Xia Yuan offered a very high salary from the very beginning.

First, there's the issue of the three main characters' salaries.

A uniform $100 million!
Yes! That's a million dollars!
This is already a terrifying number.

For ordinary people, even if they are selected to participate in the leading role in some works, the market price for their film and television remuneration is only a few hundred thousand RMB!

This is even the best-case scenario.

In most cases, they just give a token amount of ten or twenty thousand.

Very few, if any, directly aim for a million.

And this figure is in US dollars.

This is the third bait Xia Yuan has laid.

Of course, the three members of TFBOYS receive the same pay, including Jiajia, who also receives a salary.

Xia Yuan wouldn't say anything like not paying Jiajia just because she's his daughter.

Because his thinking was very simple: children are not his tools, nor are they objects that he can use to oppress and exploit.

He wouldn't care about Jiajia, or why he wanted to confiscate the money or prevent her from using it.

First of all, no, Jiajia is already very mature. She's precocious.

Sometimes she would even look at Xia Yuan and her senior with the same kind of disdainful gaze.

Like, okay, okay, I'll do as you say.

It is this feeling.

Secondly, Xia Yuan has always believed that children should develop good and correct consumption habits from an early age.

This is the right approach, rather than simply controlling them. If control is increased and restrictions are placed too much when children are young, it won't make them feel that you are thinking of them. On the contrary, it won't do any good and may even lead to a habit of retaliatory consumption when they grow up.

Many people can't save money after they grow up. They feel anxious when they have a little money and always want to spend it to feel comfortable. This is what is known as revenge spending.

Xia Yuan didn't want to see his child become like that, so he didn't exert any control or pressure on him.

He even considered using the money to let Jiajia make her own decision.

We started cultivating her awareness of self-investment from a young age.

Similarly, in Xia Yuan's view, this was something that was necessary and worth doing.

Now that the issue of recruiting actors has been resolved, the next step is to put it into practice.

First, Xia Yuan chose to hold public casting conferences in multiple locations.

The first step is to set up three sites.

Hanxia Station is located in Xinhai.

America Station, in Los Santos.

England Station, in London.

The main focus is actually on the England and America Grand Prix.

Because the film itself is set in 20th-century England.

At that time, England was undergoing a period of rapid and high-speed development, before the wave of unemployment, the bursting of the bubble economy, and the rise of punk. In addition, wizarding culture is essentially the magical culture within European civilization.

So the main body of this film is actually white.

There are very few roles available for Asian actors.

Aside from Hermione, who is a character who can change the background, there aren't many others.

The reason why Xia Yuan set up a separate venue in Hanxia for casting is very simple: to treat everyone fairly.

Furthermore, in the original Harry Potter series set in another world, there are actually clearly defined characters named Hansha.

That's the character Qiu Zhang.

Qiu Zhang was born into a wizarding family. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Zhang and had Asian ancestry.

In 1990, Cho Chang, who had turned 11, attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Ravenclaw House.

In school, he was the Seeker for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.

Cho Chang began dating Cedric Diggory in her fifth year, which was Harry Potter's fourth year.

However, in June 1995, Cedric became one of the first victims of the Second Wizarding War. Under orders from Voldemort, who was awaiting resurrection, Cedric Diggory was killed by Peter Pettigrew.

Cedric's death deeply saddened Cho Chang, which solidified her resolve to fight against the Dark Lord.

Therefore, in sixth grade, she defied her parents' wishes and joined Dumbledore's Army, led by Harry Potter.

In the same year, she and Harry began dating.

She also has a romantic storyline with the male lead.

However, Cho Chang's friend Marietta Eckmore betrayed Dumbledore's army, thus ending Harry and Cho Chang's relationship.

But Cho Chang remained loyal to the school and to Dumbledore's Army.

Before the Battle of Hogwarts broke out, Cho Chang returned to the school and joined the battle.

After the Second Wizarding War, Cho Chang chose her own way of life and married a Muggle.

She also had a relationship with Harry that ended without a clear conclusion, and the two remained good fighting partners and friends until the end.

This character is portrayed very vividly and has a lot of screen time.

After reading the script, Xia Yuan also felt that Qiu Zhang's appearances in the original isekai story were too few.

In fact, this is a character with a very bright and compelling arc.

Moreover, both the entrance and the exit in the middle were somewhat abrupt.

There will be some, more or less, but it feels a bit too rushed. You can clearly feel that the creators are deliberately trying to bring them closer together.

This is actually not a very good thing.

Xia Yuan felt that she should have more screen time.

Therefore, he felt that he could give Cho Chang a role in the very early stages.

Of course, the role doesn't have to be large, and the audience doesn't even need to know the character's main name or story.

But she has to show her face, she has to make an impression on the audience about this character.

Just like some characters in later films, such as Cedric, although this character only appears and is introduced in later films, he actually appeared at the beginning.

This is actually the most reasonable approach.

The character Qiu Zhang is the fundamental reason why Xia Yuan decided to start casting at Hanxia Station as well.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in a poor neighborhood in London.

What is happening right now is something that would be hell for most people.

But for some people, it is something they take for granted.

"You little beast, are you dead inside?" (End of Chapter)
