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

Chapter 250 What’s so bright that it’s almost blinding me?
Originally, the Internet was still immersed in the craze of "A Chinese Odyssey".

In today's Internet age, many popular symbols spread very quickly, especially film and television works that can touch people's hearts.

Now this work has become a phenomenal work, just like "Let the Bullets Fly", "Underground Traffic Station", "Drawing Sword" and "Kuang Kuang" at that time.

There were really memes flying everywhere and wonderful clips cut out everywhere.

Many lines have also become catchy Internet buzzwords.

While people can't help but marvel at Xia Yuan's talent, they also admire his terrifying ability to create popular elements on the Internet.

"At first, people just thought that Xia Yuan had run out of ideas and made a love movie based on the story of Journey to the West. But who could have thought that he really gave all of us a big surprise. Just as Ami said, he is still the same Xia Yuan. He has never changed and is still so talented."

"If loving someone requires a time limit, I hope it's ten thousand years. Damn it, I now understand that Xia Yuan didn't just give us a gift this time. This movie is clearly a reward for himself, right? The biggest purpose is to show off his love with his wife. I'm so full of dog food."

"No, I'm already full. Such a sweet couple, Zhizunbao and Zixia."

"Fairy Zixia acted so well. With such talent, why would she be a boss? Just be an actress. I beg Xia Yuan to let your wife act in more movies in the future! Her looks are simply better than those of other young actresses. She's too good."

"What are you thinking about? Do you know the market value of Heye? They are a wealthy family! A company worth hundreds of billions! Her husband is also the youngest master director in the current Hanxia film industry. Under such circumstances, she can spend all her money in her lifetime. Does anyone really think that Ms. Tang is short of money? Is there any boss who doesn't come out to be an actor?"

"Yes."

"Damn, Xia Yuan is such a good eater. President Tang is really good-looking and has great acting skills. He brought Zixia to life. She looks so quirky and cute. She's like my dream girlfriend."

"The box office of these two movies has already exceeded 10 billion! It's so terrifying!!"

Yes! That’s right! This is the current state of “A Chinese Odyssey”!

They are simply dominating the summer season, and because they were not released as a two-in-one movie, but were directly divided into two parts, the ticket prices have directly reached hundreds of dollars, making them the two movies with the most expensive movie tickets in this summer season.

Therefore, the box office revenue has grown abnormally fast, and now it has totaled over 120 billion, reaching a huge billion!
Elements of "A Chinese Odyssey" filled the entire Hanxia, ​​especially the characters, all of which became extremely popular.

Chu Zhongtian’s Tang Monk, with the song “Only You”, dominated the ghost animal area.

The romantic photos of Zixia and Zhizunbao were circulated among a large number of couples, leading to an epidemic.

With just one movie, Tang Ying successfully won the Best Actress award and inexplicably attracted countless fans. Then, since she did not have a verified social account, those fans directly followed her to the official Heye account. After all, Tang Ying had used this account to express her support for A-mi.

This caused the lady operating the official Heye account to issue a clarification overnight, saying that although the boss had logged on to speak on this account, he was not actually in charge of the account, so don't make the wrong assumption.

The online search index is even close to the first-tier.

There is no way, appearance is justice, and Tang Ying's appearance has been unanimously recognized by netizens.

This is the staying power of "A Chinese Odyssey", which, as always, follows the consistent feature of Xia Yuan's works, that is, great staying power.

Of course, in addition to the reversal of reputation of "A Chinese Odyssey", another point worth mentioning is that something, or someone, brought about a little change.

That is the change in Zhang Yinqu’s reputation.

During this period, thanks to A-mi's videos, people understood "A Chinese Odyssey", and with the frequent appearance of Zhang Yinqu's interview clips, he no longer lived up to the lofty image he had at the beginning, and instead began to be criticized by netizens.

Even as time went on, some self-media joined in, many videos were edited, and more and more people joined in, and public opinion began to become difficult to control.

Later on, it became a one-sided verbal abuse, and the language used was extremely intense.

"Old man, why don't you die?"

"A narrow-minded person like you really doesn't deserve the title of senior. I think you have been suppressing others and your opponents from the beginning to the end, right?"

"Do you really understand Journey to the West? You can't even see the core of what Journey to the West is trying to express?"

"Get out! Get out of the film industry!"

So much so that later, Zhang Yinqu had to close the comment section.

This is the current situation on the Internet. Zhang Yinqu went from being a respected master performing artist and national-level actor to a rat crossing the street who is hated by everyone and has lost his reputation in his later years.

In this regard, Zhang Yinqu also made some clarifications and angrily opposed the netizens' actions, but it was of no use. The traffic of various bloggers who edited his video clips was too high.

In the end, it was Xia Yuan who personally stepped in to completely calm down the public opinion storm against Zhang Yinqu.

The reason was that Xia Yuan suddenly logged into his Weibo account and publicly expressed his support for Teacher Zhang Yinqu's statement.

He profoundly explained that he did not blame Zhang Yinqu, but chose to understand. He was even very clear that, in fact, from beginning to end, neither he nor Zhang Yinqu were at fault.

Rather, it lies in the bad media and capital parties who are leading the rhythm, as well as the self-media who maliciously invade public opinion and muddy the waters in order to gain traffic, and take things out of context.

Xia Yuan pointed out that the real culprit was Bona Films.

Only then did the storm calm down.

It was only because Xia Yuan personally stepped in to clarify the situation that public opinion finally calmed down.

Some netizens who were originally overwhelmed by the incident began to calm down and understand what happened.

Only then did I discover the strangeness of the matter.

Then the pressure came to the media. Some media were also pressured by netizens one after another, and then had to apologize and admit that they had made wrong reports.

At the same time, netizens also began to marvel. "Is this Xia Yuan's magnanimity? If it were me, I would definitely be so angry that I wouldn't think about who was really wrong."

"So Zhang Yinqu is really the victim?"

"In fact, Mr. Zhang Yinqu is not completely without problems. He is too straightforward and has a stubborn temper. Capital seized on this characteristic and used it as a weapon."

"Bona Films, there have been many scandals before. I heard that it is a company controlled by Americans. It is really disgusting to think so."

"As for those unscrupulous media and self-media, it really is true that for those who study journalism, the value of this sentence is still rising."

"But it's okay. Fortunately, the misunderstanding has been resolved. However, the current situation is that Zhang Yinqu's reputation and image are bound to be affected."

In response to this, Xia Yuan also received personal contact and thanks from Zhang Yinqu, and received a short message from Zhang Yinqu adding him as a friend.

The moment he added it, Zhang Yinqu was so grateful that he almost cried with Xia Yuan, and he also expressed his gratitude to Xia Yuan for his magnanimity.

Xia Yuan just sighed: "In fact, Mr. Zhang, you don't have to blame yourself. This matter has never been wrong for either you or me."

"If Director Xia has any request in the future, I will definitely not say no!" Zhang Yinqu immediately said, "I just don't know if I will have the chance to work with you again in the future."

"There will be a chance." Xia Yuan was silent for a moment and answered like this at the time.

This is what happened, and the misunderstanding was finally resolved.

In fact, he knew where the problem lay from the beginning to the end, and he never blamed Zhang Yinqu.

Especially since he was going to lose money this time.

Didn’t Bona Films still fail to get them? Instead, they were wiped out by the senior sister, and the 404 method was activated directly.

He didn't think it was necessary, because if the film was released, it might help boost their box office.

But what the senior student meant was that there was no room for negotiation.

Xia Yuan was actually quite touched, because he also knew that the senior was standing up for him.

After the incident was over, Xia Yuan was in a rather distressed state.

I'm just worrying about what to do next.

Although the preliminary decision has been made to go to the Hollywood market.

But in the end, no formal decision has been made and no formal determination has been made.

The most important thing is that I don’t know what to shoot!

It's hard to decide. After all, it's the first time to enter the overseas market. What kind of attitude should we take? If we want to go big, we can go directly for a big production and suffer big losses.

Or should we move forward steadily, starting from a small point, making a small production, losing a little bit, and then losing money quietly, without any publicity.

Just when Xia Yuan was in such a distressed situation, a new piece of news suddenly appeared.

This is a message sent by the Hanxia National Olympic Committee.

Hanxia Olympic Games Organizing Committee: [I am very pleased to inform the people of the whole country that this time we are preparing for the 2032 Beijing Olympic Games. Now this organizing committee has made a decision after discussion. In the upcoming Summer Olympics, we will adopt new venues. We are now soliciting draft opinions and design drawings from construction industry practitioners across the country. The rewards are generous. The specific regulations have been published on the Olympic Hanxia official website. People can actively learn about it. In consideration of the special reasons of this event, an important decision has been issued. We will launch a new round of bidding activities for private enterprises, open the opening and closing ceremonies of this Summer Olympic Games/Paralympic Games, and allow private enterprises to invest and inject funds. The specific regulations will be published on the official website at the same time. For details, please visit the official website! ]

As soon as this notice was sent out, everyone on the already noisy internet was suddenly stunned.

"Huh??? What the hell?? What's going on? Are we going to open up channels for private investment?"

"Private companies investing in the Olympics? Is this really what will happen in Hanxia?"

"What on earth is the Olympic Committee thinking? Is it really that poor this time?"

"Some people still don't quite understand. This has nothing to do with being poor or not. There's no need to waste so much money on a big event. After all, we've already had it once."

"But it's understandable that you want to save money, and it's understandable that you have limited funds, but the problem is that this set of tricks is already a leftover from foreign countries. Past facts have proven countless times that this thing just can't make money. Many companies have already used their own bloody lessons of bankruptcy to tell the world that investing in the Olympics is a big pit, so who would invest?"

"I think it's a long shot. It's already burning money, and there aren't many companies that can come up with so much money, not to mention a business that's losing money. No company would be so stupid as to take it, right? Unless they don't want to make money, or they want to spend money to gain fame."

"Maybe the Olympic Committee has no other choice but to give it a try. The economy is in a downturn and everyone is nervous. Who would have so much money that they don't know where to spend it and come here to generate electricity with love?"

The news that the Olympic Committee is going to attract foreign investment has really shocked netizens.

In an instant, it directly eliminated the related topics of "A Chinese Odyssey" and made it the number one hot search.

Just as netizens’ pessimistic comments have shown, they don’t think this thing has any effect.

Again, who would jump into this pit that has 100% no profit when they have too much money to spend and don't want to make more money?

On the other side, Tang Ying squinted her eyes and looked at the message push on her mobile phone.

Why do I feel like my phone is glowing today? It's actually glowing gold.

"What the hell is that flashing thing? It's flashing so much that it's almost blinding my eyes." Tang Ying muttered with narrowed eyes.
