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

Chapter 204: Han Mei cooperates with each other, attacked from both sides

"The full name of this film is "A Chinese Odyssey Part One: Pandora's Box". It tells the story of the journey of Tang Monk and his disciples, and the story between Sun Wukong and the White Bone Demon and the Spider Demon."

Xia Yuan said.

Xia Yuan had his own ideas for taking out this notebook.

He also didn't expect that there was also a story of Journey to the West in another parallel world.

The key information we have obtained now is that it seems that the other parallel world is indeed a world that is highly related to them. It seems that before modern times, their historical processes are highly consistent, and many things they have, the other world also has.

The only difference is some development process after entering the modern era. It seems that at the beginning of the modern era, the butterfly's wings began to flap, and the difference emerged.

Therefore, given that both worlds have stories about Journey to the West, it is understandable that this book was brought out.

Tang Ying was also thinking when he heard this, with a frown on his face.

It’s actually the story of Journey to the West?

But the problem is that "Journey to the West", a novel of gods, demons and monsters, is a cultural treasure handed down from ancient times. It is not an exaggeration to even call it one of the national treasures. The stories in it have even transcended the nature of novels and become serious myths highly recognized by the people.

There are even many places where temples are built to worship the Great Sage.

Various Journey to the West IPs have emerged one after another, and it has always been a classic IP that has lasted for a long time.

This has become a cultural symbol.

The popularity of the Monkey King is quite high, not only in traditional literary and artistic works, but also in games and online literature. You can always see the Monkey King.

And just from Xia Yuan's description, it seems that this script was filmed based on some of the excerpts from it.

These are the White Bone Demon and the Spider Demon. These two stories are very well-known.

Can you really lose money on this thing?

Still a huge shit?
No, there seems to be a blind spot!!
Xia Yuan looked at the puzzled look in his senior sister's eyes, and seemed to know what she was worried about, and said calmly: "Senior sister, I know what you think, but as long as you read the script in detail, you will not think so. Although the story of this book is excerpted from the plot of the Three Fights with the White Bone Demon and the Spider Demon, many adaptations have been made, and it has even completely deviated from the direction of the original plot.

It is said that Sun Wukong escorted Tang Sanzang to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, but on the way he conspired with the Bull Demon King to kill Tang Sanzang and stole the Moonlight Box. Guanyin Bodhisattva heard the news and rushed to get rid of Sun Wukong to prevent him from endangering the people. Tang Sanzang was compassionate and was willing to exchange his life for his. Guanyin then ordered Wukong to reincarnate as a human five hundred years later to atone for his sins. The story revolves around this, and the White Bone Demon is the heroine, and she is in love with Sun Wukong! "

Xia Yuan said with certainty.

Tang Ying was also shocked when she heard this.

This. This this this!!

How do you evaluate it? It's really true that you don't know until you hear it. Once you hear it, you will be shocked.

This is not just outrageous, it is simply treason!
You know, in the hearts of the people across the country, the Monkey King Sun Wukong has always been a heroic figure, the embodiment of justice and positivity. After being influenced by the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva, he turned over a new leaf, and after going through 81 trials and tribulations, he escorted Tang Monk to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, subduing demons and upholding justice along the way.

What a precious virtue this is.

What is the plot of "A Chinese Odyssey" about?

Instead of highlighting the Monkey King's fearlessness and justice, the film made Sun Wukong conspire with the Bull Demon King to kill his master and eat his meat? And after being banished to the reincarnation cycle, he even fell in love with the White Bone Demon?
This is no longer a question of whether it is shit or not, this is simply treason. You must know that in the country of Hanxia, ​​the image of the Monkey King Sun Wukong has never been allowed to be tarnished.

Change it like this? Isn't this courting death?
At this moment, she finally understood what Xia Yuan meant by "giant shit".

"I guess this is where the main problem lies?" Tang Ying asked.

"Yes." Xia Yuan nodded: "If our goal is to lose money, then this is the best choice, the most stable one. Because of the parallel world, the film has an investment of over 6000 million, but after its release, the box office return is only 40. It has been criticized by the whole network. Not only is the plot adaptation outrageous, but many jokes have also been criticized by the audience for being inappropriate and making people feel uncomfortable. Yes, that's right, this is still a comedy."

"Genius!" Tang Ying was almost stunned.

Is this stacking buffs? How can so many buffs be caught up?

How hot is the original work? Is he afraid of not losing money? Is he another brother who has a loss rebate system like himself? "And another reason for recommending it is that the director and leading actor of this film is also a big name in the circle in the parallel world. Before shooting this film, he was already successful and famous. He was even praised as the king of directors of that generation, the king of comedy, a master-level figure, and a real great director among great directors. However, he still couldn't save the reputation of this film. It was a bomb when it was released. There was no accident. Even the premiere couldn't save it. It even directly led to the bankruptcy of a film company."

Xia Yuan said.

So, what to say now?
You two look at me and I look at you.

Perhaps, the problem no longer needs to be stated.

In this case, is there any need to hesitate?
Tang Ying suddenly looked at Xia Yuan: "Are you sure you can really lose money this time?"

"Sure, it's guaranteed!" Xia Yuan was extremely confident.

"You're the best this time!" Tang Ying gritted her teeth and said, "That's it!"

It's over!
This time, it’s not certain to lose money?
This movie has so many buffs, even just one of them is enough to make people crazy.

This is a treasonous adaptation that completely disrespects the original work and even adapts the story in a somewhat mocking way, destroying the character of the Monkey King.

Plus, the parallel world will explode as soon as it’s released.

What is Tang Ying most afraid of now? Isn't it Xia Yuan's box office appeal?

Why didn't she dare to let Xia Yuan make movies before? It was because Xia Yuan's appeal had risen! Even if it was a bad movie, it wouldn't necessarily lose money. There would still be many people who would go to see it for Xia Yuan's name and buy it.

So the first two scripts are actually not stable.

But this "A Chinese Odyssey" is different!

Isn't the original director's status in the parallel world much more impressive than Xia Yuan's? He is already considered a great director.

Directors of this level all died as soon as they came online, did Xia Yuan need to say anything?

Moreover, it directly led to the bankruptcy of a film company?

How much loss is this? Bankruptcy?

What two beautiful words!

This is another debuff.

Then there was another debuff that was added a few days after their project was finalized.

That is, when Heye Film and Television decided that Xia Yuan’s next movie would be "A Chinese Odyssey".

Basically, it didn't take long before an explosive news broke out on the Internet.

Mr. Zhang Yinqu, the original actor of the TV series "Journey to the West" and a master-level national treasure actor, suddenly appeared in public recently and publicized it with great fanfare.

The new work "Where is the Way" is about to be approved and filmed.

With an investment of over 10 billion yuan and blockbuster-level, it is a co-production between Han Xia and Amei Ruijian, and preparations have already begun!

Facing numerous shots, Zhang Yinqu said: "Hello, audience friends, I am your old friend Zhang Yinqu. In the second half of this year, the Journey to the West co-produced by China and the United States will officially start filming, and it will be named "Where is the Way?" I will still be the Monkey King.

When this news reached back to Heye Film and Television and to Tang Ying's desk, Tang Ying almost laughed to death.

Is there such a good thing?

Wouldn't that mean there's one more factor working against them?
This is like being attacked from both sides!
