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

Chapter 215 Two in One? Wrong!

"Big job? What big job?" Tang Ying asked.

As for what kind of weird ideas popped up in Xia Yuan's little head, she had no idea.

However, considering Xia Yuan's repeated "criminal record", this bastard will always do something unexpected to you inadvertently. Tang Ying feels that Xia Yuan's so-called "entertainment" behavior is very dangerous.

Her first instinctive thought was that Xia Yuan was going to think of some weird way again, some weird operation that could make money and stop losing money.

"Don't mess around with me." Tang Ying narrowed her eyes slightly: "This is a big project. If I lose money doing this work, I will definitely get some benefits from you, Xia Sang."

"Of course I know that."

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "It's about losing money, wife."

"Working hours!" Tang Ying triggered the keyword, immediately acted according to the order, and interrupted.

"Okay, boss, what I'm going to talk about next is about losing money. Think about it, if we want to do it now, this movie is almost certain to lose money. After all, it is a big production. If it is certain to lose money, is there a possibility that we can make a big loss?" Xia Yuan said.

At this moment, Tang Ying's eyes almost lit up when she heard this.

If you talk to her about this, she won’t be sleepy anymore!

What is she pursuing now? Isn't it just to make a big loss?

Now the word "losing money" has almost become her inner demon. It is said that the more you can't get something, the more restless you feel.

Human beings are just like this. Those who can't get what they want are always in a turmoil, while those who are favored are fearless.

If something can be obtained easily, people will not feel it is rare or cherish it. However, things that cannot be obtained make people most fascinated.

For example, money. Rich people often sigh that money is not a good thing. It only brings troubles, sorrow and pain to people, makes people feel that life is boring, and erodes their interest in career.

None of what they uttered could be considered human speech. Although each word could be understood when separated, it was still puzzling why these words could form a Chinese sentence?
The most typical representative of this is that bastard Xia Yuan. He really says this on a daily basis.

Tang Ying, on the other hand, had an empty pocket and an empty balance. Before she got together with Xia Yuan, her life was simply not a human one. She felt like she was a company boss, but was working like a dog for the company.

It's like someone who is destined to be short of money, and his eyes turn green when he smells the smell of copper.

The smell of money is good! She really doesn't have any pursuits, she just likes this smell of shit!
After all, for poor Ying, who eats good food, uses national fashion packaging, drinks saccharin water, and has to maintain a humble pride on the surface, her pockets have never been full.

Since she opened this company, she has not had a full meal, and until Xia Yuan appeared, she was trapped by him little by little.

Look! What is the wisdom of our ancestors? Why do people say that girls should be raised in wealth?
Just look at Xia Yuan, that old yellow-haired guy, and you will know the value of this sentence. As long as you treat her to a meal, she will happily serve Xia Yuan.

Even if Xia Yuan could show some sincerity and let her help push the ghost fire home and put it at the door, Xia Yuan would point at her father's nose and say, "Deng, my ghost fire is parked in front of your door, okay?"

Tang Ying also felt that it was not impossible.

Three words: You have to pay more!
Therefore, losing money is her life purpose. Having lost money last time, she has tasted the sweetness.

Although this sweetness is fleeting.

But there is no doubt that it is addictive.

This time she was ambitious and no longer fought alone.

So if we are going to lose, we have to lose big! No accidents can happen.

"Speak!" Tang Ying's eyes lit up.

She wanted to hear what Xia Yuan had to say.
Xia Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Actually, you also know that the movie we shot this time has a sequel."

"I know that." Tang Ying nodded.

Xia Yuan had mentioned this matter to her a long time ago.

Her original thought was that this movie was indeed quite weird. Obviously, the model was that a movie would only consider launching a sequel after it made money, and a sequel would only appear if the commercial performance was good.

But this is not the case with the movie "A Chinese Odyssey".

According to Xia Yuan's description, the first and sequel of this film were actually produced in the same period? Even the time between the two was less than one year?
What’s the purpose of this? The first movie only made 40 yuan at the box office, which is a complete loss. Under such circumstances, why are they going to release a second movie?

The result is naturally predictable. The performance of the second part was also very poor, and it even directly led to a film and television company being overwhelmed and going bankrupt. Another state-owned film studio in another world that once had countless glories fell into trouble.

It seems to be called something like Xi'an Film Studio?

It was because of the existence of "A Chinese Odyssey" that the studio indirectly fell into financial difficulties and eventually became unable to survive. It went bankrupt and reorganized. It hovered on the edge of privatization for several years and even underwent a major reorganization before being reorganized into the "Western Film Group Corporation."

The original site also became a museum, and eventually all of its glorious history was sealed up in a list called 'National Industrial Heritage'.

This movie was so horrible that it nearly bankrupted a state-owned film studio.

She and Xia Yuan also have a plan. If the first part performs well and makes a profit, they will launch the second part without delay.

But why did Xia Yuan bring this up now?

Tang Ying looked at him inquiringly.

Xia Yuan said, "Because the first and second parts of this movie are actually quite special. Although the sequels of other movies continue the original story, they may not tell the same highly related story. We will also try our best to ensure that the audience can seamlessly switch to the second part without watching the first part."

For a movie sequel, it is necessary to consider that the audience can watch the second part seamlessly without having seen the first part and will not get confused about the plot. This is basic operation.

“But this one is different. If you haven’t watched the first part, you won’t be able to immerse yourself in the second part, The Monkey King: Cinderella, and you won’t understand it, because the first part is just a prelude to the second part.”

As Tang Ying listened, her eyes almost lit up.

Is there such a thing?
This has already violated a big taboo in the industry.

Xia Yuan also said what he wanted to say: "In this case, is there a possibility that we can do a two-in-one? Although it is taboo to make the movie too long, this is not what we need to consider!"

But Tang Ying had countless thoughts in an instant.

"Two in one? Wrong! Only a genius can do two in one! We can shoot at the same time, but not two in one!"

"Ok?"

Xia Yuan was also stunned for a moment.
