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

Chapter 38 Is this a new movie?

Gradually, people noticed the key blind spot.

When fans first saw it, they thought they were wrong. Xia Yuan was not actually a newcomer, but had previous works.

But when they searched, they found nothing and there was no information at all on the Internet.

This is strange.

However, soon, some fans put forward speculations.

"Is there a possibility that this is Xia Yuan's next work, and he added it in advance now?"

“Fuck, is this a new movie?”

"I think it's very likely. After all, if it's an old work, there can't be no information about it on the Internet, right?"

"My goodness, although I really want to see the new movie, this is too much, right? How long has it been since the filming of "Penny Dreadful" was completed? It seems that it has only been released recently? Are we going to start a new movie now?"

"Other directors may not be able to make a film in a year or two, but they made their second film this year? That's not how hardworking people work, right?"

"It's over. It's rolled up."

"Fellow director: Damn, it's another stinky curler, you're curling your mother, I hate curlers the most, especially when he's an awesome curler who shoots really well."

"If he can really produce two movies a year, I will be Xia Yuan's die-hard fan from now on!"

"But what kind of movie is this? 'Master'? You can't tell what the genre is just by looking at the title."

"The word 'shifu' means a general term for a teacher. Later, it was extended to refer to monks, nuns, Taoists, or people with specialized skills. It is different from 'shifu' and is often confused with them, but the concepts are different. The so-called 'shifu' is like a father and the apprentice is like a son. In the old society, it refers to the elders who teach you skills and allow you to survive. You need to perform the rite of apprenticeship. They are like relatives and fathers. The term 'son apprentice' also comes from this. This title is still retained in some special professions until modern times."

"So when we chose this title, the theme must be related to this term. You can think of what theme can be called 'Master'. I guess it's either traditional opera culture or some martial arts stories."

"That makes sense. So, it seems that this is not the same comedy as Penny Dreadful. It also has some depth. Could it be that Xia Yuan is planning to increase the intensity and come up with something with depth this time? After all, to be honest, although Penny Dreadful is fun to watch, it really doesn't have any depth."

"It's just a textbook cool movie. It's fun to watch. What depth do you want?"

Looking at the densely packed fans communicating under the post, Xia Yuan smiled.

Not to mention, he really put the name of his new film there on purpose. Needless to say, the purpose was to arouse some discussion and also to make the movie "Master" create some splash on the Internet.

After all, he is not very confident about this film, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to make back his investment if it fails.

As a director, he naturally doesn't want to see such a thing happen.

After all, its box office of 5000 million in another parallel world is really too scary.

Next, having achieved his goal, he stopped paying attention and closed his Weibo account.

On the third day, the filming of "Master" officially started, which was also the day when "Pulp Comedy" was released.

After more than a month of competition in the summer season, just as Xia Yuan had estimated not long ago, the box office of "Vulgar Comedy" had stopped increasing in the later stages of the season.

There is absolutely no battery life left.

The final box office remained at 10.72 billion.

On the other side, in Shangjing, Zhang Zelin looked at the final data of the withdrawal of the films, including "Vulgar Comedy" which swept the box office, and "Tai Xuan" which ended miserably, and his heart was extremely complicated.

As a director, every work is considered his own child. Although "Tai Xuan" is not very favored by him and is not very close to him, it is still a child after all, right?
Seeing that the performance of one's own work was not good was actually like an old father seeing his daughter, whom he had worked so hard to raise, eventually skip classes and drop out of middle school, follow a young man into a small hotel that paid for a 30-yuan room by the hour, and when she came out she walked with bow legs.

Finally, you have to take Huangmao home, and people point at your nose and scold you: Lao Deng! Is it safe for my will-o'-the-wisp to park downstairs of your house?
This kind of disappointment.

Same thing.

"The young are really formidable. No wonder she would rather choose this young man than me before. He really has something." Zhang Zelin sighed.

However, perhaps this is also due to their unique vision, which enables them to accurately discover talents and markets.

As expected of her, she is the daughter of that person. She will be good no matter what she does, no matter what industry she works in.

But the young man named Xia Yuan is also very interesting. "Maybe we can meet him in the future. If he can keep up the momentum, it's hard to say whether he will be the best rookie of the year. If there is a chance in the future, we can work together."

Zhang Zelin smiled happily.

After the film is released from theaters after its release date, the revenue sharing will naturally begin.

After the money was divided among all parties, Xia Yuan also received a share of more than 50 million.

This 5 million or so is his % share!
Although after various tax deductions, the actual amount that can be obtained is only 3500 million, but in fact, for Xia Yuan, this is also an astronomical sum of money.

For a moment, it felt a little unreal to him.

Although there are many tycoons on the Internet who earn tens of millions a year or millions a month, it seems that money has become worthless on the Internet. In the eyes of netizens, even buying a house is just a casual pocket money.

But in reality, this is already a huge sum of money. Even if the cash is put together, it is not something that a person can easily lift.

Not long ago, he still had only a few thousand dollars on him. Even when buying new equipment for shooting, he had to search for a long time and check information for a long time before finally choosing the one with the best cost performance.

Then divide it into 24 installments on JD.com, and try to divide it into as many installments as possible.

Now, he has become a man with a net worth of tens of millions?

It has to be said that the sudden wealth gave Xia Yuan a shock.

But then I thought, who is the reason why I am where I am today?
Isn’t it because of the senior?

If it weren't for the appreciation of his senior, he would probably be filming a skit now, and would hear slapping all day long.

Then, after many years and some experience, someone might ask me to make some small films.

You may even be told what to do and be controlled, with very little freedom, and end up with a mess of photos due to excessive interference.

Or he may not be able to stick to this path, but choose to give up after seeing no future, and switch to another industry early. From then on, the diploma becomes a piece of waste paper and becomes a member of the general public: that is, most people will not work in the major they studied in college, one of these people.

So it can be said that the senior student was his benefactor. She not only gave him the opportunity, but also provided him with a platform and trusted him.

Nowadays, having ability is important and is also an important factor in your upward mobility, but if you lack an opportunity and platform, there are actually many talented people who are buried in this era. Why wouldn't he be one of them?
So, he had to shoot! He had to shoot hard!
He must succeed in this "Master"! If he fails, he will die!

He must put in 120,000 times the effort!

Tang Ying had no idea that what she thought of as 'delegation of power' and letting Xia Yuan do whatever he wanted had turned into 'trust' and 'entrustment' in Xia Yuan's mind, which ignited Xia Yuan's fighting spirit with the 35 million.

Don’t you see that Xia Yuan didn’t say a word in his heart.

Damn it, the boss doesn’t give me money or meat, but still wants me to be a wolf?
You give me thirty-five million, and today you are my mother. Even my biological mother can’t help me! I said that!

In Shudian Film and Television City, a piece of landscaping from the Republic of China period was directly booked and fenced off.

This is the first filming location of "Master", and a start-up ceremony is being held at this moment.

"The first incense is to pay respect to the heavens!"

"bow!"

"The second incense is for Master Guan!"

"bow!"

"The third incense is for the land!"

"bow!"

"All great gods and immortals, today the film "Master" officially starts shooting. Please bless everything to go smoothly and be successful. Today we have wine, food, meat and tea. All great gods and immortals, may you be blessed with great power and good fortune!"

"Raise the dragon! Awaken the lion! Cut the ribbon! The ceremony is over!"
