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

Chapter 227: Earthquake
"Hurry, hurry, heat it up!"

At this moment, in an office of Bona Film Group in Jianggang, Louis Liu stared closely at the public opinion on the computer screen and issued an order.

Yes, Bona Film Group, that’s their company!
Speaking of this company, it is actually well-known in the entire Hanxia entertainment industry. It is not some unknown small company!

Probably just two words are enough, that is: wealthy family!
Moreover, there are differences among the giants. There is no doubt that Bona Films is one of the top giants in the circle. The so-called July and the like are simply not comparable to them!
A truly large-scale entertainment capital that has produced many classic works. Although on the surface, Bona Films does not have anything to do with America, it is just a private enterprise owned by Hanxia people.

Many movie fans also thought that the so-called cooperation between China and the United States mentioned by Zhang Yinqu was probably just directed by a well-known Hollywood director from America.

But the real meaning is that the company has the capital of America!
Bona Films is an enterprise jointly invested and supported by foreign capital from multiple countries. In addition to the well-known 21st Century Fox Film Corporation, the Wall Street giant Sequoia Capital stands behind it as its biggest backer, and the smaller SoftBank Capital also supports it from behind.

The industries and scale of the company involved are terrifying, and it is one of the top three wealthy film and television companies in Hanxia.

This kind of company is indeed large in size, but at the same time, with such a large size, even internal competition is very fierce, and it faces very serious performance pressure.

And Louis Liu is no exception.

During this period, when he thought about the news he had received, he realized that the filming of "A Chinese Odyssey" had been completed and the post-production was probably halfway done, and it would probably enter the review stage soon.

And they haven't finished filming yet, so in terms of the time spent on post-production polishing, neither of them can compare with the other.

When he thought of this, his hair stood on end and he felt sweaty all the time.

It's just like playing a game. The pressure brought by facing off against a noob opponent and facing off against a master is definitely different and cannot be compared.

Obviously, although they were reluctant to admit it, Xia Yuan was the master, and Xia Yuan was enough to bring them enough pressure.

One has to admit that Xia Yuan is indeed a very abnormal person. Even someone like him who is used to seeing geniuses has to admire him. Xia Yuan's talent is so high that it is terrifying.

In addition, the performance pressure he has faced during this period has reached the point where he can no longer breathe.

There are so many producers in the company, and everyone is continuously supporting good works and recommending many talents to America.

However, he has not achieved any impressive results in the past one or two years, and the works he supported have not become hits, but have remained at a level where he earns very little!

For a capital-controlled company like theirs, if they earn less, they lose money. The company is very cruel and will not keep idle people. Since you cannot bring value to the company and cannot prove your own value, then you are a useless person and are destined to be discarded like a worn-out shoe!

So he can't wait to produce some results!
Zhang Yinqu approached them, hoping that someone would invest in his new movie, which undoubtedly gave him such an opportunity.

There is no doubt that the theme of "Journey to the West" is definitely the largest and most impressive top IP in the Hanxia market. The market is so large and the economic benefits it can generate are so terrifying that it is simply outrageous. If it is managed well, it will definitely allow it to survive the crisis and even reach a higher level!

Perhaps he could take this opportunity to return to America and join its parent company, 21st Century Fox Television. Who knows, by then all he could enjoy would be the glamour and ecstasy of the world's top film and television market.

Therefore, under the urgent pressure, "A Chinese Odyssey" and Xia Yuan are undoubtedly a huge obstacle!

none of them!

So we must find a way to pull Xia Yuan down.

Under the pressure, he had no choice but to take more extreme measures.

As for whether doing so would bring him certain troubles and impacts, he had never considered this issue.

First of all, as I said before, this matter has nothing to do with them, right? This is all caused by Zhang Yinqu, it is Zhang Yinqu and Xia Yuan's business!
You can't blame our company, right? We should be clear about gratitude and resentment when dealing with people and things. If you can blame them for this, isn't it a bit unreasonable?
Isn't this bullying the honest person?

The second point is that after all, he is not from Hanxia, ​​but from America, breathing the sweet air of freedom! As early as the last century, his family had already drawn a clear line with Hanxia!

So even if Xia Yuan's background is big, and their company's background is big, what's the use? America is the world's number one power, and they can't control themselves!

So, he began to take action. "First of all, public opinion must be aroused. Public opinion must be aroused." Louis Liu muttered.

Soon, the originally peaceful internet was plunged into chaos.

"Xia Yuan is too disgusting. I know you have some achievements, but you can't treat your seniors like this? You manipulate public opinion to slander and abuse your seniors, and your tone shows no respect for them at all."

"I've unfollowed you! I've turned from a fan to a hater. If I go to see Xia Yuan's movies again, I'll be a dog!"

"When it comes to Monkey King and Journey to the West, Mr. Zhang Yinqu is the best in China. No one can surpass him. No one can produce such a film, not even Xia Yuan! ("

"Rubbish Xia Yuan, rubbish movie, I won't even watch it."

"In all conscience, Xia Yuan shouldn't, at least he can't. After all, it's okay to be a little arrogant. He does have some skills, but you shouldn't be arrogant in front of seniors who have achieved more than you in a certain field. You don't have the capital to do so!"

"Oh my goodness, what happened again? Hiss——, Xia Yuan's reputation collapsed? Is this true? Xia Yuan's reputation can also collapse? Is this entertainment industry really full of snakes and rats? Who else will not collapse?"

"So that's how it is."

The dense array of comments and insults were even directly listed on the hot searches.

The heat builds and persists incredibly quickly!

This also led to a large number of unaware of the situation being dragged into it, and then as they watched, they realized that human beings are creatures with inertial thinking, so public opinion is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can indeed make a person successful, but if used badly, it can destroy a person in a matter of minutes. Because of the inertia of netizens, when the nature of an event becomes one-sided, the voices of rational people are no longer important and will be quickly drowned out.

Many people's emotions will be quickly brought in and they will gradually join the mainstream.

So this is the true meaning of one person telling ten, ten people telling a hundred, a hundred people telling a thousand, a thousand people telling ten thousand, and then ten thousand people are in the same formation.

It really affected Xia Yuan's reputation to a certain extent, and his Weibo followers began to drop for the first time, and this time, he lost tens of thousands of followers.

Originally, Xia Yuan did not have many fans. He did not manage his account and rarely used it, so his fans did not buy it. Therefore, compared with others who have tens of millions of fans, his current popularity and Weibo fans are only a little over two million.

Losing tens of thousands of dollars is really a bit of a loss.

Soon, the news spread back to Heye Film and Television.

On this day, many employees of Heye Film and Television did not dare to speak loudly.

Because the boss, who has always been easy-going and emotionally stable like Capibala, was extremely angry today. Anyone could see that his anger was about to come out of the screen. He had a very strong aura whenever he passed by, which was completely different from the gentle boss he had shown in the past, and it was frightening.

So no one spoke loudly, and the atmosphere in the company was unusually depressing today.

Some employees even heard loud bangs outside the boss' office, which was very scary.

"It seems that the boss has also been affected." said an employee.

"Isn't this normal? Director Xia has been criticized everywhere recently. It's ridiculous. Director Xia is such a good director, why are people criticizing him?"

"The entertainment industry is still a complicated place. I used to respect Zhang Yinqu, but now I really hate him."

"Who can be happy when their husband is scolded like this?"

Inside the office, Tang Ying was also looking at the computer screen with great anger, while Xia Yuan next to her was timid, lowering his head and not daring to look up or breathe loudly.
