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

Chapter 257 Was all this done by Xia Yuan?

Time is just like the spirit in Xia Yuan's heart, gone in an instant, and soon a month has passed.

As time passed, "A Chinese Odyssey" was successfully removed from the shelves and the accounts were cleared. The total box office of the last two films remained at 145 billion yuan. After the box office was divided, what Heye Film and Television finally got was also a terrifying figure.

There is no way around it. The ticket price for "A Chinese Odyssey" is too high, over a hundred yuan per ticket, and two movies are shown at a time.

Subsequently, major platforms competed to offer sky-high contracts to purchase the exclusive broadcasting rights for the two films.

In the end, Tang Ying and Xia Yuan chose Youke Video, which offered the highest bid of 38.78 billion yuan to be paid in one lump sum over five years.

You know, this is also a very scary price, which is completely beyond the price that ordinary movies can offer.

The reason is, of course, very simple. It is because "A Chinese Odyssey" has now become a popular cultural symbol on the Internet and has penetrated into the hearts of people all over the country.

Even the original "Let the Bullets Fly" did not sell for such a high price for the exclusive online broadcasting rights.

There is no way. "Let the Bullets Fly" was originally bought by the poor B station, and B station could only afford 900 million yuan.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that "Let the Bullets Fly" can’t be sold at a higher price, but this is the result of Xia Yuan’s choice after comprehensive consideration.

Because this movie now has a very high status on Bilibili, it seems to have been interpreted in a new direction and even became a unique IP. That soil is the most suitable place for the development of "When Bullets Fly".

In Xia Yuan's opinion, a film or TV work cannot be bought by whoever offers the highest price. He has never had such an idea.

He was more concerned about the cultural effects.

The only reason he chose Youke Video this time, which offered a higher price, was because they needed money.

They have decided to increase investment in Olympic projects, and the amount is as high as tens of billions.

So they need to get a lot of money.

In order to lose big, you must first make big profits!

During this period, Tang Ying thought that she was fine again, and her attitude towards Xia Yuan became increasingly gentle. It really felt like she was in a land of gentleness and a hero's grave.

However, Xia Yuan did not indulge in this gentle environment. Instead, he shuddered and regarded it as a ferocious beast.

Because he saw through the essence.

Damn it, just say it if you're greedy!

But if they had just gotten married, Xia Yuan would definitely accept everyone who came to him, and even welcome them even if they wanted to refuse, and he would also laugh at his prey's arrogance.

But until now, he has completely realized the truth and sees the situation clearly.

Damn it, he is not the hunter at all, the prey is clearly him!
As expected, what the senior said was very good, there are no fields that are damaged by plowing, only oxen that are exhausted. Xia Yuan originally thought that he would be an exception, but who would have thought that he was just a microcosm of it.

Now that the senior sister has completely stopped pretending, he feels that his throne has plummeted and he no longer dares to speak loudly in front of the senior sister.

It will be human-like.

Fortunately, the senior student didn't bother him often, and after a period of improvement, his new ideas were completed bit by bit.

The time for the bidding is approaching.

This moment also attracted the attention of the entire network.

But in fact, there will be no surprises in the result, because from beginning to end, only Heye Film and Television submitted a bid.

Yes, there is only one company bidding.

"I am dying of laughter. I have never seen such a deserted bidding meeting for a national-level project. In the past, a large number of companies would rush to bid for national-level projects, even if they would lose money, to earn a reputation. I have never seen a project with only one company bidding in my life."

"It's normal, because even if you lose money to gain reputation and official relationships, it depends on the amount. The Olympics are a huge loss, who can afford it?"

"It's a good thing Heye signed up, otherwise when the bidding really started, there would be no bidders, which would be ridiculous and embarrassing."

"Not at all, because when the time comes the Olympic Committee will hire someone to bid for them, which will at least save face."

However, just when everyone thought that the result had been settled and Heye Film and Television had obtained the investment qualification for the opening and closing ceremonies, shocking news came out again.

That is, according to the subsequent news from the Olympic Committee and Heye, this time, Heye Films not only won the investment qualification for the opening and closing ceremonies, but also won the investment qualification for the main stadium and mascot.

Invest 50% to build the main stadium and own half of it.

There is no other way. After all, a place that can serve as the main venue for the Olympic Games cannot be completely owned by local enterprises. The state still needs to own a part of it.

But this is already amazing enough.

The same applies to the mascot. It will be announced later that Heye Film and Television will be responsible for the design, funding, manufacturing and promotion of the mascot, and will also hold 50% of the ownership.

Then, it was announced that whether it was the medals, the Olympic torch, or the main logo, all would be designed by Heye. In other words, 80% of the design of the Olympics would be contracted by Heye Film and Television, and the person who made these designs was Xia Yuan!

For this Olympics, Heye Film and Television will invest a total of 100 billion RMB!

After the announcement of the end of the bidding and Heye’s winning bid, related news immediately flew all over the place, including the venue renderings, mascot renderings, torch, medal renderings, and the main logo, which were all officially announced and exposed later!
All the renderings are filled with traditional Chinese elements!

First of all, the main logo is a big red seal with the word "wen" on it like a dancing little man. It not only exudes ancient charm, but also has a sense of novelty.

Below it is written [Shangjing2032]

Then there are five rings consisting of five colors.

The renderings and concepts of the medals have also been released and posted on the official website of the Beijing Olympics.

The round gold medals follow the general specifications of previous Olympic Games, but are significantly different in some details. They are made using the gold inlaid jade craft. A circle is hollowed out in the center of each medal and inlaid with a piece of Hetian jade. The warm Hetian jade exudes a mutton-fat texture, creating a collision of simple beauty with the precious metals, and is engraved with delicate patterns.

Similarly, the main stadium has also been officially announced. It consists of two main stadiums: a circular stadium that looks like a bird's nest with irregular and criss-crossed steel bars, and a square building that looks like a condensed water blue cube.

The name is also very simple and straightforward, directly following the appearance features of two buildings, one is called the Bird's Nest and the other is called the Water Cube!

This is the situation at this moment, and it has been fully implemented in a very short period of time.

When Xia Yuan first presented the design and planned to negotiate with the Olympic Committee, he had not thought that everything could be finalized so smoothly and proceed according to plan.

But he never expected that the process would go much more smoothly than he had imagined.

The moment the Olympic Committee saw the design drawings he provided, they made the decision without any hesitation.

In the words of the Olympic Committee, Xia Yuan directly solved their most troublesome problem.

When the Olympic Committee heard that Xia Yuan hoped to direct the Olympics, they were so happy that their mouths were crooked.

The chief looked as if he was afraid that Xia Yuan would regret it.

Who could have thought that all the problems that had been giving the family members a headache would be solved overnight, and they also got a master director, who is currently the most stable master director in the country. This is simply warmth delivered to their doorstep!

All I can say is that, between Xia Yuan and the Olympic Committee, one doesn't know how worried the other is, and the other has no idea how capable he is.

That’s all the situation now, it has been officially finalized.

The proposal for Xia Yuan to direct the 2032 Shanghai Olympic Games was also reported to the higher authorities, who directly gave their approval!

Finally, the full official announcement was made.

Hanxia Olympic Committee: "After discussion, the chief director of the opening/closing ceremony of the 2032 Beijing Summer Olympics is planned to be Xia Yuan! The deputy director is planned to be Zhang Zelin!"

The Internet is already buzzing with excitement.

"Xia Yuan really became the director of the Olympics?"

"Oh my god, this growth rate is too fast, he can directly direct the Olympics! I am really looking forward to it now."

"Zhang Zelin has to help Xia Yuan too. Xia Yuan is so awesome!"

"But the most amazing thing is not these, but the designs! Holy shit, this is simply shocking me, isn't Xia Yuan a director? How can he also be a designer? And the key point is that these designs are not bad!"

"Xia Yuan did all these things?"
