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

Chapter 139 We can’t let the people’s entrepreneurs suffer losses!

Xia Yuan immediately set off, boarded the nearest flight, and headed directly to the Northern Art Troupe's base.

Xia Yuan himself was also very clear that this was also an opportunity for him. It was very difficult for a director and a film and television person to portray himself as an official. This represented an opportunity.

Of course, Xia Yuan also knew very well that this was not only an opportunity, but also a responsibility.

For film and television people who hold official positions, they themselves represent a kind of responsibility and may have to say goodbye to many sensual pleasures because their every move represents the face of the country.

But for Xia Yuan, it seemed to have no effect at all, because he himself was not in the circle, did not form cliques, and had never tried any of the debauchery in this circle.

And he had no interest in touching this thing.

What is the most important thing for Xia Yuan?
The one who has to open and close his eyes is the senior.

Xia Yuan thought that he had set three goals for himself in this life.

Make money for the senior sister!
Make a lot of money for the senior sister!

To develop the company!

After all, Xia Yuan is the company's chief operating officer, right? What does it mean that the senior sister can give this important position to someone like me who can only act but knows nothing else?
This is trust! This is trust from the deepest part of my heart, which is why I am willing to place such a heavy burden on myself!

The senior student didn't worry about the company being led astray and going bankrupt by him, and she handed the company over to him with full trust. This showed her unconditional trust in him, and the senior student believed that she could do a good job.

Will he disappoint the senior?
Xia Yuan has a clear ambition in his mind. No matter how difficult it is, he must study hard, enrich himself, absorb new knowledge, and learn the knowledge of business operations and company management. He must do well in this position in order to live up to the expectations of his senior.

Of course, there is also the 5% original shares that I own.

But this is secondary. Does Old Xia care about the people who hold 5% of the original shares? Does he care about the people who will make a few billion after the company develops?

Superficial! Stupid!
For example, when filming started this time, he had to coordinate with the cultural and art organization. He had to report there and then sign his name on a mysterious list.

Then, we met up with Li Youbin and some staff members sent by cultural and artistic organizations who were going to serve in the crew. After meeting up with them, we prepared the crew, looked for a film set, and finally started filming.

When Xia Yuan arrived at the residence of the cultural and art organization, he finally met Li Youbin, the legendary national-level actor.

Little did he know that the first time Li Youbin saw him, he also looked him up and down.

Is this the grandson-in-law of that person? He looks quite young, but can he really take on such a big responsibility?
Li Youbin doubted instinctively.

But no matter what, just think of it as accompanying the prince to study. It is very likely that he is just here to put together a resume. He is clear about some things in his mind.

Just think of it as helping someone gild his reputation. Although that person is great, he is also a human being, and everyone has selfish desires. Just think of it as helping Mr. Yuan.

Not only Li Youbin was suspicious that Xia Yuanchun was here to gild his reputation, but many crew members who were about to work with him were also suspicious.

There is no way, after all, Xia Yuan is too young, and his age is there.

Directors, especially talented and accomplished ones, generally give people the impression of being a group of people with heads full of white hair.

It’s not that they don’t believe in young directors, but it’s been a long time since such a young and talented director appeared in Hanxia.

They have seen day by day how far the domestic entertainment industry has fallen in recent years, and they are simply powerless to complain.

Take cultural organizations for example, they haven’t absorbed fresh blood from the outside for a long time.

But they wouldn't say anything, they just treated me as being there to keep them company, and then for the next period of time, I just had to simply complete some of my duties.

After all, accompanying the prince to study is just a job for everyone to do perfunctorily.

But then, things changed.
First of all, when Xia Yuan met Li Youbin, he was very humble towards this senior and took the initiative to extend his hand: "Hello, Mr. Li Youbin, I am Xia Yuan. It is better to meet you than to hear about you for a long time. I am very happy to cooperate with you this time."

"Director Xia, you're too kind. We are all working together, and I'm just an ordinary actor." Li Youbin also stretched out his hand with a smile.

Then came the others.

Xia Yuan shook hands with everyone one by one.

"Hello, teacher."

"Please give me more advice, teacher."

"Teacher, I'm sorry to bother you in the future."

He was extremely humble and modest, without any arrogance or conceit.

This was unexpected. Secondly, Xia Yuan was busy all the time and quickly took out the script of "Drawing Sword".

"This is the script we decided to shoot this time. You teachers can take a look at it first, and then I will explain it to you." Xia Yuan said: "Teacher Li Youbin will play the role of Li Yunlong in the play this time."

Xia Yuan talked about his ideas bit by bit.

First of all, as for filming studios, cultural and artistic organizations have their own studios. After all, they also shoot some promotional videos, theme films and television works every year.

But after Xia Yuan personally visited these places, he shook his head in dissatisfaction.

Yes, that's right. Xia Yuan went to inspect the set without stopping that day. He didn't delay for a moment. He didn't rest or eat, and there was no such process as sightseeing.

When Xia Yuan shook his head at a base set, he said, "No, it doesn't fit. The story we want to shoot is about the defense of the Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region in North China. That is to say, the base there at the time actually didn't have such conditions. Look, solid wood furniture, green desk lamps, and a complete war zone map. These conditions are more in line with the Xinhai area or the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai areas. At that time, they were a minority in the military, so we have to find another place."

Then, Xia Yuan pointed at the script and said some plans: "And we may need cavalry. I think we can first find extras who meet the requirements. It would be best to move the crew to some old and dilapidated villages that still exist today with the characteristics of the time. There may be no people, but we can find them and then shoot there. And..."

When Xia Yuan started talking, Li Youbin and the teachers who worked with the cultural organization suddenly came to their senses.

Wow, this guy is not just accompanying the prince to study, he is really planning to do great things.

There is something real on me! It is not just gilded casually!

I'm not afraid of accompanying the prince to study, I'm just afraid that the prince really has something in his hands!

Especially when Li Youbin asked how much the budget was this time.

He was originally preparing to fight a battle that would not be very profitable.

After all, in the past, when this happened, it usually involved private enterprises investing. Since the budget provided by the state was limited, private enterprises would definitely cut their budgets and maintain a profit range.

There's nothing you can do. After all, they want to make money, and you can't say anything to them. You can't let them lose money to gain publicity, right?

He knew that this time, Qi Lu could only scrape out 10 million yuan in funding with great difficulty.

Li Youbin was originally thinking that the budget for this shoot would definitely not exceed 10 million.

To be honest, it is quite difficult to shoot a TV series of dozens of episodes with less than 10 million yuan.

But for Li Youbin and other national actors, they have long been accustomed to it.

It can be said that they have rich experience in making god-level dramas with a beggar's version crew, and have rich experience in spending money wisely.

But when Xia Yuan raised his finger.
Originally he thought he had guessed correctly: "Oh, ten million, just right."

Then Xia Yuan shook his head: "One hundred million!"

"Ah?" Li Youbin was also stunned.

Others were even more stunned.

What? One hundred million?
Li Youbin was stunned.

When has Old Li ever fought such a prosperous battle?
Then, while the crew was still preparing, the news quickly reached Qilu Radio Station.

When the director heard the news, he was also stunned: "One hundred million? Is this true?"

"Really? The accounts have been verified, and we have sufficient funds. We are now looking for a film set and are ready to start filming at any time." The subordinate reported.

The Master is almost in tears.

When, when! Has this ever happened?
In the past, they were poor and couldn’t offer a good price.

Generally speaking, private enterprises will also consider their own profits and losses.

Considering profit and loss is the minimum, it is human nature.

But knowing that it would be a loss, why did they still make such a huge investment?
The more Master thought about it, the more moved he became.

Moved by this, he felt more and more that this could not be done.

"No! We have to find a way! We can't let our people's entrepreneurs suffer losses!"
