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

"Rest in peace, Mr. Zhang."

"Thank you for accompanying me in my youth. Thank you for your movies that gave me faith when I was most confused and accompanied me through a difficult period. Rest in peace!"

"Thank you for everything you have contributed to Chinese-language films. You are a well-deserved founder and you are not a loser."

"I am in the cinema now. The concepts of winning and losing appear in the movie every once in a while, as if Zhang Xinhe's life is a carefully planned gamble throughout the movie, or he has been putting himself in a gamble all his life, but in fact, there is no gamble in life. This may be the core of what Director Zhang wants to express. He wants to express that Zhang Xinhe, who has been running for fame and fortune all his life, actually had his original intention at the beginning. He also had an extremely pure dream, until more and more attention and fame and fortune focused on him, as if that original intention was gradually worn away by these fame and fortune, until it dimmed, and he began to become obsessed with fame. In fact, from that time on, he had involuntarily stepped into a gamble that would last a lifetime. In that gamble, he lost a lot of things. He once promised the person he loved most that he would keep his original intention for the rest of his life and would end his running after making enough money.

What Zhang Xinhe wants to express here may not be that he wants to give up his career, but another state of mind, which is to regard film as a pure art, just to realize the ambition in his heart. When the dream has been realized, its only function is to express the core, express the core of the world, express the core of life, and bring deeper thinking to the audience and everyone, rather than simply shooting something that caters to the market day and night for money. Of course, it is also to squeeze out time to accompany his family, so he once promised.

But in the end he still didn't do it. He spent his entire life, until the moment of his death, he was still running for fame and fortune. In fact, he was filming "Green Mountains, I Sing My Journey" to give an explanation for his life. He remembered the promise he made. This movie, which should have come a long time ago, became the last bloom of his life. He remembered the bet he had made with his beloved.

But from this point on, he had actually lost the bet.

But did he really lose?
This movie is actually an educational movie.

Before the movie was released, I was not optimistic about it. Just as it was said in the movie, in recent years Zhang Zelin is no longer the same person he used to be in order to cater to the market. He no longer has that fighting spirit.

There is a person in the movie named Xia Xisheng, who appears unusually frequently. He may have become the person Zhang Xinhe imagined himself to be, a more pure director. Thanks to Xia Xisheng's existence, he was actually able to find the lost self before his death.

Is it too late?
I think it’s not too late.”

"Sir, you are righteous!"

"This movie has reached a new level!"

"The box office can donate if they say so? I'll go and watch it right away!"

"I'm in the theater right now, and I'm about to burst into tears. They say that the core of comedy is actually tragedy, and this statement is really true."

"Zhang Xinhe is himself, so Xia Xisheng, I guess, must be Xia Yuan, right?"

"It can only be Xia Yuan. Otherwise, it can only be what Zhang Xinhe hinted at that he once wanted to be."

"It's Xia Yuan. Although these two people have not met many times in their lives, their entanglement is really deep."

"Rest in peace sir, thank you for having you by your side!"

And at this time.
People discovered that there were updates on Xia Yuan's account.

Xia Yuan: "Xia Xisheng bid farewell to Zhang Xinhe for the last time. You have never been a loser. There has never been a winner or loser between Zhang Xinhe and Xia Xisheng. What we have is just following the path explored by our predecessors, and then watching our predecessors cut through the thorns and cut off all the thorns. The younger generation walked over with their wounded backs."

Xia Yuan's personal statement pushed the incident to another level.

Zhang Zelin's death has attracted a huge amount of attention. The entire Internet is bidding farewell. Even China Central Television made a sad report to mourn the director who once directed the opening and closing ceremonies of the first Olympic Games in Hanxia.

Zhang Zelin's memorial service was held as scheduled in Shangjing. Many superstars and celebrities attended the event, including Xia Yuan and his wife, who mourned in simple attire and were received by Zhang Zelin's wife.

Soon, the box office figures for the Lunar New Year were released. At the top of the box office charts, and for the next few days, Xia Yuan's "Flirting Scholar" was always at the top.

Xia Yuan is still that insurmountable mountain that cannot be surpassed.

"Green Mountains, I Sing My Journey" ranked second.

But the rating is abnormally high, comparable to "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One - Fragrance".

After attending the memorial service, Xia Yuan and Tang Ying thought about it and finally made an important decision.

"Let's follow Director Zhang's steps," Xia Yuan suggested, "and do something more meaningful."

"I think it's okay." Tang Ying nodded silently.

Although this old man is very stubborn and did take some things very seriously, he is actually a serious and nice old man. Although the two parties had different ideas, what he did in the end is really admirable.

Including Xia Yuan, after watching the movie, he felt really ashamed of the portrayal of Xia Xisheng in the movie and after listening to Zhang Zelin's high evaluation of himself.

"Brother, you are the one who has truly gotten rid of vulgar tastes."

This is what Xia Yuan wanted to say most.

He and Tang Ying can act without scruples just because of the existence of the system. They can try new things without worrying about anything. In fact, there is a bottom line, and only they know this.

If you look at it from another angle, they don't have these conditions.

So can Xia Yuan do what he is doing now?

He thought that this should be marked with a big question mark as a doubt and suspense.

In comparison, people like Zhang Zelin who rely on themselves to find their original intentions are truly strong and have truly broken away from vulgarity.

Finally, the film and television department of Heye Group also announced it.

All box office and copyright revenues of "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" will be donated to the Tang Dynasty International Charity Foundation!

This courage has also attracted widespread attention.

"Xia Yuan also donated?"

"I'm speechless now. This is really a silent farewell between Zhang Xinhe and Xia Xisheng. It's more like a send-off."

"Who said before that the two of them didn't get along? Come out and show me, it's obvious that they just have different philosophies."

"It's the box office champion. And obviously, even if 'Singing in the Green Mountains' is also a good movie with an outstanding plot, at most there are no losers in this period, only winners. It is absolutely impossible to surpass Xia Yuan's movie. But the box office champion donated money as soon as he said so. This is really a great courage." (End of this chapter)
