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

Chapter 44: We need to find a way to make a big loss

"Hey, Xia Yuan, actually what you just said is totally unnecessary. For example, have you ever thought about something?"

Tang Ying sat back on the sofa, instantly switched back to her pretentious personality, and spoke calmly.

As for whether she has any brilliant ideas, that's not certain.

But in this situation, she had to find a reason to dissuade Xia Yuan from the idea of ​​increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

"Well, senior sister, you tell me." Xia Yuan nodded in response, with interest in his eyes.

The senior sister is very capable. Generally speaking, Xia Yuan believes that he is very good at filming, but when it comes to management, he is not as good as the senior sister.

It is said that everyone has his own expertise. He has seen many things. Just in the past few days when the senior sister came, the changes in the atmosphere and cohesion of the crew were obvious to all.

When filming a movie, what is captured is always the acting skills of the actors and the skills of the director.

But management is different, management is about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

Tang Ying shook her head slightly: "We are engaged in film and television, which is actually similar to traditional industries. Simply increasing revenue and reducing expenditure does not mean anything. Sometimes, the money spent is inevitable. For example, if we are a builder, we need to build a building.

We need to build this foundation so that it can support a 500-meter-high building, and we need to use a budget of 5 million.

Can this flow be opened? Can this source be saved? It's not impossible. We can choose the second option and use 2.5 million and save half of it to build it. But the question is, if we save, what will be the consequences? If the foundation is not solid, what we build will be called a shoddy project. "

Tang Ying said.

"Yeah." Xia Yuan nodded, thinking, and a hint of understanding appeared in his eyes.

"You can say it in a nice way, calling it accumulating experience, but the reality is that anything that has an unstable foundation cannot be called accumulating experience, because the experience is fundamentally wrong. Similarly, expenditures in some places are inevitable.

There is a good saying now, "You have to endure hardships without suffering, and you have to enjoy happiness without happiness." It's not that we don't have the conditions. We are not short of funds now. I'm here. What are you afraid of? If you run out of money, I can just allocate more."

Tang Ying said: "We don't ask for the best, we must have the most expensive!"

But if you think about it carefully, this seems too straightforward and has some signs of being a wolf.

So Tang Ying quickly changed her words: "No, it should be, we want the best of everything! It doesn't matter if it's expensive or not, but good things are never cheap, right?"

"Yeah." Xia Yuan nodded.

"In short, money is not a problem. The final presentation of the work is the most important thing! I have finished speaking. Who is in favor and who is against?"

"Senior, there are only two of us here." Xia Yuan reminded silently.

"Oh, as long as the meaning is similar." Tang Ying glared at Xia Yuan.

Don't I know? You're the one who's asking for more information?

But Xia Yuan was also relieved.

After all, the big boss had spoken, so he naturally wouldn't say much. He was afraid before that he was spending too much money and the senior might be unhappy.

After all, funding has always been very important. If the funding is exceeded, the result in the circle is mostly that the film company will severely exceed it.

If you dare to overspend, the film company will dare to overspend you.

But after all, Tang Ying is actually not very satisfied at this stage.

Because judging from the current situation, the chance of losing this time is basically inevitable, as all kinds of unfavorable factors and buffs have been applied.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you don't make good use of it, you will lose a lot.

She can't take it.

It's only 40 million now. She made hundreds of millions from "Vulgar Comedy". If she doesn't make up for the losses, she probably won't be able to sleep well at night, as if ants are crawling on her body.

She had to do something!
She's going to lose a lot!

As for how to lose money?

Got it!

Tang Ying quickly came up with an idea, and her eyes lit up: "Oh, right, I'll transfer another 50 million to the public account next!"

"Huh?" Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment: "We still have funds now, there is no rush."

"That's not what I meant. Think about it, didn't we have any publicity at all last time?"

Tang Ying said: "We should do some publicity this time, and we can use this money for publicity." This time, their protagonist is Huo Chunliang, which is the biggest loss point of Tianzi. If the outside world knew about it in advance, they would use bad artists and publicize it with great fanfare.

Given the attitude of netizens who are eager to create chaos in the world, shouldn’t they be ruthlessly blasted to pieces?

Then, I will stand on Teacher Huo's side without thinking and clarify the facts for him.

Netizens generally don’t read rumor refutations.

Then the film's reputation would be ruined, Teacher Huo would get the income and have food to eat, but if they released the film by then it would be too late for anything.

Lose money, get rebates, and receive the money, all in one go!
"I agree with this." Xia Yuan said at the speed of light, which just played into his hands: "But isn't 50 million a bit too much?"

"Is it a lot? Is 5000 million considered money?"

Tang Ying sneered. Even though she didn't even have 50 yuan on her body, it didn't stop her from pretending.

As for Xia Yuan, he originally wanted to suggest that the second film should be promoted appropriately.

After all, the first time it suffered a little from the lack of publicity, although this would directly avoid the competition with the best movie and would not raise expectations too high.

But it will still make the accumulation of achievements a bit slow, relying purely on word of mouth.

This time they are different. With the reputation of their original work and the presence of superstars in the lineup, they have to promote it anyway.

Just be careful not to brag too much and don't draw the pie too big, or else you won't be able to fulfill it and disappoint your fans, and that's about it.

However, just as they were about to take action, an unexpected incident occurred.

In a courtyard in Shangjing.

An old man wearing a mandarin jacket and a melon-shaped hat with a jade cap on his head was lying in a rocking chair, looking at a mynah bird in a cage. He listened to his assistant's report with some displeasure in his eyes.

"You mean, someone didn't take what I said back then seriously and still dared to use Huo Chunliang?"

"Yes, Master Ai."

"Hmph!" The old man slapped the table with a gloomy expression. "I warned you many times back then that if anyone in the circle dared to use him or get close to him, they would be against me. Since when did my words become useless? Who used him? Find out for me! I haven't said a word for so many years. People really look down on me."

Huo Chunliang, he gets angry when this name is mentioned.

He and Huo Chunliang had some conflicts before.

So he made a promise at that time, and anyone who dared to use Huo Chunliang would be disrespecting him.

"Master Ai, I'm checking. It's used by a company called Heye Films. It's a newly established small company. The information is here."

The assistant handed over a small notebook.

"Hmph! Let me take a look."

The old man took the book, opened it, and snorted coldly.

He wanted to see who was so blind. He really didn't know who controlled the Hanxia entertainment industry?
"Oh my god!"

But when he opened the first page and saw a name, his heart and hands began to tremble.

bang bang dong!
"Master Ai, why is there sweat on your forehead?"

"It's hot!" The old man glared at his assistant.

Damn, do you have to be so talkative?
He calmed down and closed the notebook again.

"What's wrong, Master Ai?" the assistant asked puzzledly.

"Let him go. It's a thing of the past. It's not good to keep harassing him." The old man said expressionlessly, "It's not fair."

"No, Master Ai, that's not what you said just now!" The assistant was still confused: "And you dare to use Huo Chunliang at this time, that's a slap in your face! This son of a bitch, he must be punished, so that people can understand your majesty!"

"You want me to tell you? You know shit!" The old man couldn't help it, and slapped the assistant on the forehead, saying, "If you keep nagging me, go get your salary tomorrow and get out, you bastard!"

Damn it, can't you see it? Is it really necessary to be so timid if you can't afford to offend him?
Still so fucking annoying!
"But." Having said that, he thought for a moment.

It seems that although we can't afford to offend them, it won't work if we do nothing.
