I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 361, Profit Sharing, Harvest, Goals, The Grand Opening of the Year!
At this time, Li Xuan was receiving a share of the profits from "New Three Kingdoms," totaling 800 million yuan, plus the actors' salaries.

The reward of tens of millions has been deposited into the account.

Currently, although the total revenue has not yet reached ten million, it will inevitably reach the ten million level in the future.

Because this is only the first round.
As the revenue from a work, it's impossible for it to only have one round of profits.
Moreover, Li Xuan didn't invest a single penny; he only contributed the director and actors.

It's fair to say that "New Three Kingdoms" is a real super ATM.

The current returns are not far from reaching their peak.

"We made a fortune. This was a huge profit!"

At this moment, Li Xuan was also looking at the cash flow brought by "New Three Kingdoms".

And the expected returns from rebroadcasts and repeat broadcasts.

Wang Fengsheng came to Li Xuan's house, originally intending to offer him some advice as an elder.
Although he personally believed that Li Xuan would not lose his balance, it was just that Xu Xiang didn't trust him and insisted on coming here.

Wang Fengsheng just smiled.

"It's good that you're not mentally unbalanced."

I also thought you would lose your temper.

Xu Xiang was somewhat shocked by Li Xuan's composed demeanor.
The humiliation of having one's own honor taken away.

The feeling and taste of having no resistance can easily make people feel like they are living a life worse than death.

This evoked an incredibly intense mix of humiliation and resentment.
Li Xuan, however, felt no displeasure or humiliation whatsoever.

"It won't throw off balance. Well, the money was made. As for public opinion, I believe Director Gao can't do anything about it. And for those who really watch the show, I think the change in style before and after is still noticeable. There's no need to worry about it. It's enough for those who truly love it and can feel the soul of the work to know that."

Li Xuan smiled slightly, taking it all in stride.

At the very least, his ability to manage large-scale production teams has undoubtedly been proven.

The money has been genuinely earned, and to put it more bluntly, the fact that potential investors can see and know about these things is already more than enough.
As for the awards
To be honest, Li Xuan felt
Although there are some regrets, I still have "The Long Season" this year, and the fact that "New Three Kingdoms" can make money is in line with expectations. In addition, it has proven my ability to manage large-scale projects.

Besides, it wouldn't look good if two directors stood side by side and went up to accept the award, would it?
"As long as you don't lose your balance, your opening act of the year is pretty much on the agenda."

The story of "New Three Kingdoms" is halfway over. At least in China, it can be definitively said that it is a masterpiece that combines artistry and entertainment. Even Xu Xiang, who has a rather discerning palate, felt that Li Xuan's involvement was like a chemical reaction, giving the work an absolute soul.

It could be said that Xu Xiang has qualities that are even more outstanding than those in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

It's incredible. Even Wang Fengsheng felt that he would never see another work in his lifetime that could make Xu Xiang feel that there was a Three Kingdoms-themed work that could rival the old Three Kingdoms. It was a feeling that the passage of time had given it, a feeling that would make people unconsciously follow the angle and feeling of the filter. It is truly an incredible thing that it can still give that feeling even when it has the nostalgia of the elderly.

And the popularity is real, seamlessly transferred from "New Three Kingdoms" to the big dramas released at the beginning of the year.

The New Year's Eve drama was also quite intense, featuring the "Battle of the Two Southern Powers," a struggle between the Beijing elite and Li Xuan.
Following Li Xuan's appearance in "New Three Kingdoms," his popularity boosted the success of "Nanjing Photo Studio."

Even if the Beijing entertainment circle tries to 'hide' Li Xuan's contributions to "New Three Kingdoms", this Zhuge Kongming, this Mr. Kongming who cares for the common people, is still a figure of great importance.
His contributions to the work remain indelible.

actor.

As one of the frontline members.

It can't be erased no matter what.

Of course, there are also rewards for using cheats.

At this point, the system will award a reward.

[Zhuge Liang: Image and Belief]

Your image as Zhuge Liang is deeply ingrained in people's hearts; as time goes by, your image will evolve into a classic.

Wisdom increases by 0.1 each year, and the attribute points increase even more as you age.

A classic image, especially one with the former, cannot be completely replaced, because no one can erase the most classic white moonlight in their memory.

But you can become the faith and ideal of this generation.

Until metabolism, until it is replaced.

At least for now.

This generation's Zhuge Liang.

He took over the baton himself.
Next, it's the movie release schedule's turn to take over.

What will I gain from achieving good results in this film season?
Undoubtedly, there are many.

[When you, host, acquire the title of the leading seventh-generation director, and achieve success in both artistic merit and box office performance, you will receive a significant, phased reward.]

[Health is improved, and health and acting skills are reflected as a percentage.]

[And there will also be a mystery gift pack]

at this time,

Promotional activities for films scheduled for the Spring Festival have also begun.

From "The Forbidden Kingdom" to "City of Life and Death" and then to "Nanjing Photo Studio".

This year's Spring Festival film season.

It's really hot enough.
For movie lovers at least, this release date is definitely worth looking forward to.

And they are currently using every means possible to promote and publicize their products.

It has entered the publicity and distribution process.

Let's all compete on resources and money.

"The publicity and promotion of the Beijing circle is more powerful. That's the foundation of resources. There's no need to envy them or feel unbalanced."

"That's right, I'll also help you with the publicity and promotion, you can rest assured about that."

"Although our university circle's publicity and promotion can't compare to his capital circle, I can still provide some assistance."

At this time, Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama.

They then made their stance clear.

This is an attitude of full support and taking sides. It all started from this moment.

The Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy are indeed on the same page.

These two universities.

This time, Li Xuan also felt a warmth in his heart.

"Thank you, both principals."

“When you prove yourself and have enough ability to express art, China Film Group and Beijing Film Academy will help you without hesitation. It is my responsibility and our responsibility.” Xu Xiang smiled and said, “Of course, we haven’t seen your finished film either. We’re also taking a gamble. We hope you won’t let us down.”

"Absolutely not."

"absolute."

"The moment has finally arrived. I've waited so long."

At this moment, Lu Chuan watched the publicity campaign unfold, and he still felt a bit disdainful of the behavior of the old Beijing circle.

They actually thought of using the tactic of grafting popularity onto Li Xuan to wear him down.

They are insulting Gao Xinxin.

Even if he benefits from it.

It was also an insult to him.

An extremely strong insult.

But there's not much to say about Lu Chuan. One thing is one thing. If he can really produce results in the early stages that are no less impressive than those in the later stages, then this reputation is well-deserved.

It won't be like it is now, where industry insiders perceive this so-called honor with a strange undertone.
However, it doesn't matter. For Lu Chuan, Li Xuan still has a base of popularity at this time.

In a sense, it's fair to play against yourself.

Yes, it is under this fair and just circumstances.

What are the Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy up to?

At this moment, Wang Shuo felt very uncomfortable. The Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy were important partners of the Beijing film industry circle. How many of their employees could be absorbed by companies in the Beijing film industry circle every year? Why were they being treated so disrespectfully?

Yes, that's right, they really don't give me any face.
When the rumors about Li Xuan's 'new circle' started, and given the support from the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy, the impact of this was already evident.
In the past, the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy relied on the Beijing film industry to absorb their actors.
But now the situation seems to be a little different.

Their attitude seemed to confirm that Li Xuan was going to start a new circle.
“You don’t need to be so insecure. We have so many excellent directors and works. Creating a new circle isn’t something one person can do alone. We know that. At most, this commotion has affected our interests, but it’s not as exaggerated as you’re making it out to be.” Zheng Long smiled slightly. He was the former director of the Beiping Television Art Center.
Wang Shuo's close friend, business partner, and intimate friend.

Comrades who are bound together by the "compound".

He was somewhat optimistic, believing that with top directors like Zhang Yimou and Ma Xiaogang already in his grasp, he could use them as a 'radiating force' to bring in more outstanding directors.

Li Xuan isn't qualified enough; he doesn't have the qualifications to radiate downwards yet, if he really wants to build a network.

No way.
Wang Su said at this moment.

"What if he can beat Lu Chuan? What if he wins this time in the 'Double Nanjing' genre?"

"Do you think it's possible?" Zheng Long countered.

Do you think this is possible?

"Even if the probability is extremely low, we cannot let this happen. The publicity support from the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy is a case in point. Assigning homework to students and organizing screenings of 'Nanjing Photo Studio,' they really went to great lengths. They received this kind of support even before the film's quality was released."

They basically treat it like a 'textbook' and praise it.

This trend looks extremely dangerous.
This year is a big year for patriotic films, and "Nanjing! Nanjing" is a very important work for the Beijing film circle, carrying immense symbolic significance.
It is absolutely impermissible to fail.
Now, it all depends on China Film Group's reaction. However, based on past experience, their reaction is predictable: all the publicity and distribution resources should be focused on "Nanjing! Nanjing!"

After all, "Nanjing! Nanjing" was the patriotic project that China Film Group supported, while "Nanjing Photo Studio" was more like an illegitimate child that was added later.

He would definitely give greater support to a film that is certain to be selected for the Tokyo International Film Festival and has a real 'international impact'.
That's how it should have been, that's how it should have been.
At this time, on the internet, China Film Group's publicity and distribution channels, China Film Online.

During the dinner party last week, Han Ping confidently promised that this time, the film "Nanjing! Nanjing" would take the lead in promotion on China Film Group's website and on other distribution channels such as Sina, NetEase, and Douban. After all, China Film Group invested a lot of money and resources in this film, from construction and promotion to many other aspects, including the investment in Nanjing Film City, all of which were led by China Film Group.

It can be said that China Film Group is deeply intertwined with this work. In a completely new sense, deeply intertwined.

Although China Film Group also invested in the later film *Nanjing Photo Studio*, in reality, considering the scale of investment and the closer relationship, *Nanjing! Nanjing* would have received more resources. After all, Lu Chuan had already had considerable cooperation with China Film Group since *The Missing Gun*.
By any measure, Lu Chuan's works will be more popular.
at this time.

The publicity results are in.

After the website was updated, the homepage prominently featured a poster for "Nanjing Photo Studio," instead of a poster for "Nanjing! Nanjing."

This time, even Zheng Long, one of the three big names in Beijing's entertainment circle, looked a little stiff. Wait, let's watch it again.
After watching it, he felt like he couldn't hold back anymore.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
What is China Film Group doing?
"China Film Group actually chose Li Xuan too!"

This publicity campaign has caused quite a stir in the industry. It's worth noting that while China Film Group enjoys a high degree of independence, it has historically collaborated more extensively with the Beijing film industry.
Although there may be friction between the two, it is ultimately just minor squabbles in the background.

This time, in the promotion of works from both the Beijing and non-Beijing circles, they actually chose to give priority to works from the non-Beijing circle!

"Are you surprised?"

“A little.”

"You guys always think that my collaboration with your Beijing film circle is because we're somehow tied to it. Actually, it's because your Beijing circle has always produced the best works in the past, which is why we're collaborating. But that absolutely doesn't mean that China Film Group is tied to your Beijing circle's chariot." Han Ping was drinking Pu'er tea in his office and made a cup for Wang Lei as well. "So you don't need to be surprised. Besides, I haven't forgotten about 'New Three Kingdoms' either."

Wang Lei thought to himself: Heh.

I guess I still hold grudges!
However, on the other hand, people aren't plants or trees; it's normal to have emotional fluctuations. Who says that people in high positions can't be willful?
What's wrong with being a little willful?

"The Beijing film circle was also caught off guard by your resource allocation. But even so, the publicity resources for 'Nanjing Photo Studio' are not as good as those for 'Nanjing! Nanjing' and 'The Forbidden Kingdom'."

Han Ping neither confirmed nor denied this.

"The Forbidden Kingdom" is Huayi Brothers' "trump card" project this year, released at the beginning of the year with the intention of crushing all competitors.
According to the predictions of China Film Group's actuaries, the situation should be one of "one superpower and many strong contenders".

Yi Chao is from "The Forbidden Kingdom".

Duo Qiang is known for films such as "Nanjing! Nanjing" and "Nanjing Photo Studio".

As for awards, "The Forbidden Kingdom" is out of the running for now, but that's two years from now.

At least, that's the general outline of this year's opening act.
