After seeing off the group of moviegoers, especially the few big spenders who had paid, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before filming began, no one expected that the show would be sold while it was still being filmed, simply because of the popularity of the male and female leads, especially the female lead.

That's great! Not only did we break even, but we even made a net profit of almost 100 million.

That's the allure of a hit drama; no wonder so many people want to break into the film and television industry—it's incredibly lucrative!

The original version of "Love O2O" had 30 episodes, but this version, due to the presence of Jingyang, was changed into an ensemble drama, and the number of episodes became 36.

After all, he knew a principle: a good drama cannot be carried by the male and female leads alone; it requires everyone's efforts.

The reason why Gu Man and Lin Yufen agreed to change it into an ensemble drama is that everyone involved can benefit from a well-made ensemble drama.

However, before selling the broadcasting rights, they were eager to compress the number of episodes and make the plot more compact, fearing that the production budget would be exceeded.

But now, they are filled with regret, feeling they didn't write enough.

Every episode costs money!

"You can't buy foresight; there's nothing you can do about it."

"Besides, do you really want to risk breaching your contract by padding the script?"

As Jingyang spoke, he also felt heartbroken, realizing he had earned far less.

But he knew that the success of this drama wasn't about how much money it would make, but about whether it could make him and Da Tian Tian famous.

Besides, just like he said, the contract stipulates thirty-six episodes. Adding more episodes would be a breach of contract, and they can't afford the penalty for that.

Moreover, since filming hadn't finished yet, although the production companies knew there was almost no chance of padding the episode count, they still sent people over to supervise.

With the double guarantee of contractual pressure and dedicated supervision, this group of people dared to pay such a high price for a drama that hadn't even finished filming.

When Lin Yufen heard Jingyang say this, and thought about the two insurance policies, her eyes cleared up considerably.

"No way. As a director with aspirations, I would never do something like that..."

She said it with absolute certainty.

But Jingyang just pursed his lips, saying, "It's hard to say."

However, the two did not dwell on the matter too much. Instead, they took some time to tell the crew that they had sold the broadcasting rights and online streaming rights.

As everyone knows, the key figures in the production team have been negotiating broadcasting rights with the TV station and online streaming platforms.

Since it concerns their bonuses and even their career future, they can't help but care.

Now that everything has been settled, the crew erupted in cheers.

Even the actors were all smiles.

It's good to sell it; selling it means it gets views and exposure.

This is what they lack most at this stage.

Moreover, actors may not know exactly how good the show they are making is, but they certainly know how bad it is.

They filmed this series themselves, so they naturally know it's definitely not a bad show.

Now, major platforms are vying for broadcasting rights. Once sold, the quality of the content is already quite good, so how could it not be a hit?

Therefore, all the actors, including the extras, and all the staff are filled with even greater expectations for the future of this drama.

During filming, I felt like I was giving it my all.

If it's like this inside the film crew, it's even worse outside.

When news broke that the drama "Love O2O" had sold over 100 million yuan during its first run on television and online, it caused a sensation in the industry.

Everyone in the industry knows that TV dramas are profitable, but no one expected them to be this profitable!

It's important to understand that at that time in the film industry, a film grossing over 100 million yuan was still a benchmark for top directors.

Now, a single TV series can generate over 100 million yuan in revenue. If that were a movie, it would need to gross at least 400 million yuan. How could this not shock the film and television industry?

Most importantly, this is not an isolated case!

The same applies to "Empresses in the Palace" in the middle of the year, and "Scarlet Heart" and "Palace" are not much different.

If it were just one show, it could be considered an exception, but now there are two or even more.

This made people in the industry realize that with the entry of major internet companies into the entertainment industry, the rules and even interests within the industry seem to be being redefined.

An unprecedented era is about to begin!

But they never imagined that, in addition to TV series, movies would also give industry insiders a huge surprise in the near future, and then completely set the film and television industry on a fast track.

However, the outside noise and disturbances could not bother the crew of "Love O2O".

After announcing the initial sale, Lin Yufen and other key figures in the production team completely took control of the crew.

Aside from the elderly people she brought from Tangren, the people recruited by Starlight Brilliant, and the interns who represent the future, all worked together as one.

With hearts and minds united, we must work together towards a common goal.

It's often said that all it takes to transform a mob into an elite is a single, massive victory.

This is also the key reason why Jingyang decided to announce this news.

What he needs is a group of elites, not a disorganized ragtag group.

Although it has not yet reached the standards of film and television industrialization, it is at least much better than other amateur production teams.

This made Jingyang very pleased.

The crew grew increasingly harmonious day by day, and the filming progressed rapidly.

Time flew by and it was already early December, the beginning of winter.

Although Xiamen was affected by the cold wave, the temperature also dropped.

And along with the drop in temperature came the arrival of Wang Sicong.

"What are you doing here, kid!?"

"Besides, since we're already here, why bring anything?!"

Jingyang was filming that day when he received a phone call. Wang Sicong said he had arrived outside the film set and asked him to come pick him up.

Jingyang quickly said something to Lin Yufen and then went to pick her up.

To his surprise, not only did this young master Wang arrive, but he also brought a whole truckload of gifts.

"Do you think everyone's as unrefined as you? If you're visiting the set, you should at least bring something!"

After saying that, Young Master Wang had his things brought out.

A complete set of warm clothes, plus a 100-yuan shopping voucher from Wanda.

Seeing this, Jingyang shook his head and chuckled.

Then, he snatched the megaphone from the executive director, Li Mugo, and announced to everyone, "This is Wang Sicong, the young master of Wanda Group. He's come to visit the set today, bringing all his stuff with him."

"Let's thank Young Master Wang!"

"One, two, three, thank you, Young Master Wang! *n"

"You're welcome~"

Wang Sicong was a bit flustered when he saw Jingyang pull this stunt.

But being a wealthy family, they adapted quickly and even found it quite useful.

While distributing gifts to everyone, Jingyang and Jingtian pulled Wang Sicong aside to a quiet place.

"Speak up, what brings you here? I don't believe you're just here to visit the set!"

Jingyang took a bite of cake amidst Da Tian Tian's envious gaze and asked Wang Da Shao.

However, the first thing Young Master Wang said stunned Jingyang.

It was even embarrassing...

"Hey, you haven't forgotten what we agreed on, have you?"

"You haven't forgotten about the company we discussed investing in the cultural and entertainment industry, have you?"
