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

Chapter 147 Where’s Your Fucking Italian Cannon (4)

What kind of people will become jealous when they see others succeed and live a good life?
It's just those who failed.

Especially those that have just failed recently.

In the eyes of these people, when they see that their imagined 'opponent' is living better and better every day, they will naturally feel envious and jealous, and their eyes will turn red with envy.

For example, Xia Yuan is actually quite envied by some people now.

Let's not talk about the distant past, for example, Xie Daga, who was still full of fighting spirit and hoped to compete with Xia Yuan with his works some time ago.
For Xie Daga, this period of time was indeed not a very good one for him.

Originally, he was full of confidence and planned to use the money he earned from live streaming as an internet celebrity in recent years to make some good plans, shoot a TV series, and then officially return to the film and television industry.

He even saw what it meant to watch a tall building being built, guests coming to congratulate him, and a building reaching into the sky.

But he never expected that as he was watching, the building suddenly collapsed.

The new film "Charge Forward: Tough Sniper" which he produced in collaboration with SCO Film and Television and cost 100 million yuan not only failed to awaken the childhood memories deep in the hearts of the people, but also failed to save his face in front of Xia Yuan in terms of the performance of the work.

He was directly beaten to the ground by the 500 million abstract film.

Since the TV series was aired, the ratings have been getting lower and lower, but the topics about him have not decreased, but have increased day by day. He was actually dragged out by netizens to complain, saying that his acting skills are poor, and even the things he directed are not as good as Xia Yuan's.

How could he accept this?
Especially during this period, his stills were circulated wildly on the Internet, and were even made into memes, with labels such as "dog stealing" being attached to them.

This made him feel extremely humiliated.

Because in his heart, he is still the white moonlight in the hearts of the people back then. Acting, isn't it simple? Isn't it just acting like when he was a child?

Moreover, before the TV series was aired, those viewers kept saying that they would support me, and they spoke like it was the truth.

But after my TV series was finally released, I realized it was all a lie.

Although, let's say, when he saw Xia Yuan, he still had to be polite and kind on the surface and say, "Hello, Director Xia!"

But does this prevent him from resentful of Xia Yuan for once breaking his chain?
It doesn't matter.

And now Xia Yuan’s new drama has been on the hot search list one after another and has been discussed a lot.

Even more popular and worse than his situation at that time.

He felt even more uncomfortable as he thought about it.

“Hmph! What kind of thing can be produced by hiring college students? What’s the level of these people? As new and well-known directors, and strong candidates for big directors, they don’t even know such basic taboos as prohibiting unprofessionals from doing professional things.” Xie Daga said sourly.

But there is no way. No matter how jealous he is now, he cannot change the fact that he has already failed.

"Underground Traffic Station" has been rebroadcasted countless times now, and his "Charge On: Tough Sniper" was taken off the shelves after the first broadcast.

The difference is like heaven and earth.

However, his heart began to stir, and gradually an immature idea was brewing.

Although, he and Xia Yuan did have some conflicts, and he didn't know when he had offended Xia Yuan to make him treat him like this.

But he has also made a lot of money from live streaming in the past two years.

But an internet celebrity is still an internet celebrity, you still cannot compare with a star. Even if you are an internet celebrity for your whole life, that’s it.

He was once a person who appeared on the screen, so how could he be satisfied with just this?

Maybe Xia Yuan is an opportunity?

Even though Xia Yuanren was annoying, you had to admit that he was quite capable and the scripts he had were all top-notch.

I heard some time ago that someone bought a script and it failed.

But that was also because he didn't have time to listen to Xia Yuan's advice.

Then can he watch Xia Yuan's current movie?

This is a film produced in cooperation with the country! If it becomes popular and the results are really good, then can I...
The idea he was thinking about at this moment was to go buy a script from Xia Yuan.

It would be even better to just buy the script of "Drawing Sword"! It would be even better to make a sequel! Wouldn't that also be a way to enjoy the coolness later?

"No, I have to do live streaming and sell products well during this period to earn more commissions, and then I can buy the notebook!" Xie Daga made a prompt decision.

He could even accept some of the wine that he had previously been too cautious about and didn't dare to accept.

For the sake of your own future in the entertainment industry, you can take it and give it a try!
On the other hand, the crew of "Drawing Sword" welcomed a large number of college students.

Xia Yuan was numbed, because including the extras from college students who came every day some time ago, there were now nearly a thousand people! Nearly a thousand extras from college students, I have to say, this is really a terrifying thing.

Xia Yuan was so scared that he wanted to post a message saying that there was no need for people and that people were not needed to come.

But he is not satisfied with the current situation.

The scene was still not big enough, and there was still a little gap from the grand scene he had expected.

He really wanted to capture the feeling of a huge army, a truly grand scene.

After all, the budget is so sufficient this time. The "Drawing Sword" in another world was affected by the funds, so the war scenes were reduced again and again, which was a headache. They could only use the least actors to shoot the largest scenes.

But this time, I don’t need to worry about these problems at all!
So we still need people.

But the problem is, this large group of new college students also want to play the Japanese devils.

It’s true that everyone wants to play the Japanese soldier, and no one is interested in the role of the Eighth Route Army.

This made Xia Yuan very tired and gave him a headache.

In desperation, he could only announce: "Those who are over 180cm tall will play the Eighth Route Army, and only those who are under 180cm tall can play the Japanese soldiers! Those who are 170cm tall or under will be given priority!"

He has already begun to use his height to hold back these hungry wolves.

Some college students in the extras immediately expressed their dissatisfaction: "Why? Do you look down on people over 180cm tall? I'm so angry! When will we college students who are 180cm tall kneel down to play the Japanese?"

Xia Yuan said helplessly: "Because in history, the Japanese were generally short, and 180cm is a concession for you. If we really follow the historical facts, only those who are 130-160cm tall can act!"

However, there are still some people who take advantage of loopholes, and thus some rather bizarre scenes will occur on the set of "Drawing Sword".

For example, people who lie about their height usually report it as higher than it actually is.

But in the crew of "Drawing Sword", the figures were all reported lower.

Just like now.

Xia Yuan looked at a college student who wanted to apply for a job at Xiao Baga and asked bluntly, "Are you really 170cm tall?"

"Yes, it's really 170!" The college student opposite nodded.

"Then why does your resume say 186?" Xia Yuan asked while looking at the resume.

The expression of the college student opposite him froze, and it was obvious that he had also neglected the information on his resume.

He was strong and calm, and said seriously: "I was still young at that time, and it was many years since the school physical examination, so it doesn't count."

"So what you mean is that you have shrunk?" Xia Yuan asked.

"Yes, it has shrunk." The college student nodded.

"I said you are not 170!"

“I’m not 170cm tall? I said I’m not 170cm tall either. I’m not 170cm tall at all! I’m 169cm tall! Director Xia!” the college student answered with great emotion.

Xia Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, and looked at Chu Zhongtian: "Let's have a competition."

Chu Zhongtian immediately went up and stood in front of the college student. It was obvious that he was a head shorter than him. No, more than one head. The difference looked to be at least 10 centimeters.

Chu Zhongtian said silently: "Brother, I'm 180cm tall, this standard is based on me, no matter how tall I am, the standard is as high as it is, and those who are taller than me will all play the Eighth Route Army, so, stop pretending."

College student: "."

Okay, okay, let’s play like this, right?

Xia Yuan wrote down his arrangement under his resume: "Go, one male guest from the Eighth Route Army."

"How about this, Director Xia? I don't want the 200 yuan. I'll pay you 200 yuan a day, and you can let me play Baka! I, Wei Junjie, am born for this role! I can speak Japanese! I can speak Japanese!"

"It's useless even if you can speak bird language. You are too tall. Where can you find Japanese soldiers that tall?" Xia Yuan was helpless.

"I don't accept it! I don't accept it!!"

Xia Yuan had no choice but to casually send the college student away before calling the next person.

This is the current situation of the "Drawing Sword" crew.

Time passed little by little during the filming.

Soon, Xia Yuan's part also came
