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

Chapter 260 Military Cooperation is Required

"Ah? Why did Zhang Zelin quit? Wasn't he doing fine before?"

"It's force majeure, maybe it's physical reasons or some other reasons. Zhang Zelin is old now, he's not young anymore."

"But Zhang Zelin's level is still there, right? After all, he directed the first Olympic Games. So now the problem is, for this Olympics, the burden falls entirely on Xia Yuan?"

"Xia Yuan is so young, not even 30 years old. It's already a big challenge for him to direct the Olympics. It was not so bad originally, because there was an experienced senior like Zhang Zelin who could give some advice and provide a backup. But now, Xia Yuan has to take all the responsibilities by himself. It's not that I don't trust Xia Yuan, but he is really too young. Can he really do it?"

"A man who is almost thirty years old is not young anymore, right? In fact, once a man reaches thirty, all aspects of his body function will decline rapidly. Scientific data from all aspects show that an adult is most clear-headed when he is twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old."

"If you want to talk about other things, then thirty is indeed not young. But if you consider some special industries, thirty is very young."

"It's over. Zhang Zelin has retreated. This time I really don't believe whether Xia Yuan can really make it."

As some netizens have said, Zhang Zelin's withdrawal brings greater uncertainty to the matter.

When people thought about the fact that Xia Yuan was about to face the preparations for such a big event alone, they naturally felt distrustful.

As I said, Xia Yuan is too young.

In fact, it is easy to understand. Although fans in the market generally trust the film and television works brought by Xia Yuan, they are also willing to pay for Xia Yuan's film and television works.

But in fact, these have all been proven by Xia Yuan with the quality of his works time and time again.

Otherwise, at his age, not many people would trust him.

And the most crucial reason is that film and television works are film and television works. Can the Olympics be the same as those film and television works?

You have to know that this is a live broadcast, and people all over the world are watching. Film and television works are shot in advance, but live broadcast? You only have a short delay of a few minutes to make adjustments.

You have to take many factors into consideration. Once you make a mistake, there is no way to undo it. Even if you are embarrassed, you are embarrassed in front of the whole world, in front of so many people.

It can be said that the nature is completely different.

Shangjing.

After Zhang Zelin withdrew, Xia Yuan was also confused.

However, the only difference between him and Zhang Zelin was their ideas. Zhang Zelin did not agree with his ideas, and neither side could convince the other.

He was just confused because he couldn't accept the fact that these domestic directors simply wanted to avoid making mistakes.

That is, I am afraid of making mistakes and don’t want to try.

For any thing, even if the probability of making a mistake is only 0.1%, but there is a 99.9% probability that you can reach a higher level as long as you do it well, they will choose not to do it because of this 0.1% probability of making a mistake.

They may even ask you, what’s the point of success?
So compared to innovation, they are more inclined to replicate routes that have been proven to be feasible, and are reluctant to open up a new route because they feel there is no need.

To be honest, Xia Yuan felt a little chilled.

Because in his opinion, people in the film and television industry should not be like this, and people in the arts and television industry should not be like this.

If a great director is like this, then I dare not even imagine what the others are like.

Perhaps this is also the reason why the domestic entertainment industry is not as good as others and cultural communication cannot compete with others.

In fact, it is not just the entertainment industry, but many industries are like this. Xia Yuan has been in this industry for a long time and has seen a lot of things. He is no longer just full of passion and enthusiasm as before. To give another example, in the game and e-sports industry, a hack-and-slash online game in the era of big-headed machines can make the game industry eat well until 2030, with a server and a bunch of agents to coax a real player.

Or when an e-sports team makes it to the world championship, what they think about most is not competing for honors or winning the game, but that they have already won by making it to the world championship because they have already received the money.

Some players even went bankrupt and sold their houses to buy their own losses.

Compared with the current Olympics, what are Zhang Zelin’s ideas?

Admittedly, he acknowledged Zhang Zelin's level, but he did not agree with his ideas.

He still wanted to do these things well from the bottom of his heart. He could only keep asking himself, why did this happen on the soil of Hanxia? Was it really because the people of Hanxia did not desire achievements, did not desire to fight for reputation, and did not desire honor?
You are totally wrong. When it comes to collective honor, there is probably no country in the world that can compare with Hanxia.

This is a country with an overwhelming national honor and unprecedented unity. Many sports events are the best proof of this. The people of Hanxia have proved over and over again with their efforts that they can do it. Hanxia has never lacked hardworking people.

But in some areas, this is not the case.

Xia Yuan thought about it for a long time and finally found some problems.

That is, the areas where Han Xia was not good were because he had never achieved any results.
The less results they achieve, the more panicked the practitioners tend to become. They won’t think about what they should do next to achieve better results. Instead, they will think, since things are so bad now, we can still make money even in the current situation, we just need to be stable.

This kind of idea will arise.

Just like what the Olympics means to Hanxia at this moment, they no longer need an Olympics to prove themselves, unless you can do it extremely well, to a level that is unprecedented and unmatched.

But why bother? You are clearly making steady progress, and no one will criticize you, so why do you have to spend so much effort and take such a big risk of making mistakes to innovate?

Totally unnecessary.

Although Xia Yuan did not agree with it, he had his reasons for doing so.

Losing money is just one of the options. He also wants to prove himself and since he is not afraid of losing money, they can continue to try and fail.

So, given these conditions, why did he retreat? What good would it do to retreat into his shell?

So he quickly adjusted his state. After Zhang Zelin left, he immediately replaced his assistant director Wang Dashan.

Wang Dashan never dreamed that he would one day become the deputy director of the Olympic Games.

Of course, more important is the issue of the internal team.

After Zhang Zelin left, only the chief director Xia Yuan was left, and the planning team for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games were basically appointed by the state.

Xia Yuan also felt the pressure like a mountain. Although many people did not say it explicitly, he could clearly feel that many staff members in the planning team actually did not trust him.

It was under such pressure that Xia Yuan began the follow-up work.

A program presentation architect asked: "Director Xia, what are your thoughts on this opening ceremony? We can first sort out the process and then start computer rehearsals. If there are no problems, we must immediately enter the personnel preparation stage. First of all, we must have more than a year and a half to familiarize ourselves with the process of personnel coordination to ensure that there will be no problems."

"Let's not rehearse yet." Xia Yuan just shook his head: "Find someone first!"

"Find someone first?" The architect was stunned.

"Let's go to the army first!" Xia Yuan said seriously: "We need the cooperation of the army this time! And there are quite a lot of them, we have to gather them first!"
