I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 566 Do you believe me if I say I'm rehearsing lines with Brother Xian?

What does Xian Ge mean by this? Are his two anime IPs going to be made into feature films?

[Many animated films made into feature films have flopped, so why is Brother Xian so confident? And two of them are being released simultaneously?]

[So what? With AI, the cost of animated feature films has dropped dramatically, and the production cycle has become much shorter. I thought it would be released during the National Day holiday, but it's been moved to the Spring Festival.]

[Isn't the Spring Festival release window great? This is clearly a family-friendly animated film, and the Spring Festival release window attracts far more viewers than the National Day release window. However, with both films released together, they'll either be fighting each other or teaming up to wipe out their competitors. This year's Spring Festival film season is going to be exciting!]

……

The animated feature films "Boonie Bears: The Big Adventure" and "Pokémon the Movie" were not promoted at all beforehand, and many people didn't even know that these two animated series were going to be made into feature films.

This time, because Ye Xian leveraged the popularity of the Sixth Princess to announce the existence of these two big movies, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

When everyone heard Ye Xian say that the two movies were personally supervised by the Sixth Princess, they immediately got excited and clamored to contribute to the Sixth Princess's dowry.

……

With "Painted Skin" officially ending its theatrical run, Ye Xian's work and time were now limited to the big movie "A Chinese Ghost Story." With more free time, he became obsessed, studying all sorts of bizarre and unique lost delicacies in the "Recipe Book."

As a result, everyone noticed that Ye Xian's short videos suddenly changed style and began to rush down all sorts of expensive and dangerous paths.

For example, first, ingredients worth 2000 yuan are made into a broth, and then the broth is seamlessly hidden inside an egg. This method of making a "Qiankun Egg" has amazed many fans. It is something that many people never expected that an egg could be used in such a creative way.

For example, using the silver needles from the heads of 300 shad to make a bowl of "Thousands of Silver Needles," the complicated process and the difficulty in collecting the ingredients made fans burst into laughter.

The series of fun and amazing food-related short videos have made Ye Xian's fans increasingly eager for his new works, wondering how he will torment Sun Li and others.

Yes, these working people are foodie Sun Li and her friends.

However, for the sake of the gourmet feast, although Sun Li always complained that she wanted to quit, she always worked the hardest because these lost delicacies were just too delicious.

Ye Xian initially just made short videos, but gradually, from these lost delicacies, he thought of the cuisine of the entire Tang Dynasty, and then he remembered a super famous food documentary from another world.

After thinking it over and over, he discussed his thoughts with Chen Xu, who was in the dressing room with him.

"You want me to film food?"

Chen Xu was very surprised. He knew that food documentaries were usually made by people from obscure government departments or by students who had not yet graduated as graduation theses.

"Hmm, this food documentary is a little different from the food documentaries you've seen before."

Ye Xian gave Chen Xu a general overview of the super famous "A Bite of China" series from another world.

"This is quite interesting. It doesn't just film the food itself, but also the humanistic customs behind it, and even adds various stories of love, friendship and family among ordinary people. This documentary is extraordinary."

Chen Xu, who has a background in directing, immediately realized what Ye Xian wanted to film.

"Since you've decided to pursue a directing career, I feel this can be used as practice for you."

Ye Xian smiled and said, "Although you have already served as assistant director on films such as 'Painted Skin' and 'A Chinese Ghost Story' and have worked on some content, you still need to have some works to speak for you if you want to eventually become the director of a film. 'A Bite of China' can be your stepping stone. After you have mastered this kind of cinematic language, you can try to lead the shooting of some films."

"Thank you, Brother Xian!"

Since breaking down in front of Ye Xian last time, Chen Xu has become much less distant and more affectionate towards Ye Xian, but he still needs to say thank you.

Since Ye Xian chose this film to practice on, putting aside everything else, this alone is enough to make him a benefactor in his life.

For a newcomer to directing, it is very difficult to have control over everything, from ideas and scripts to funding, investment, distribution, and even the say in the production team.

Now, Ye Xian incorporates his thoughts on Tang Dynasty cuisine into various ingenious filming ideas, and then entrusts them to him for implementation, without having to worry about funding, investment, distribution, or other issues.

This is definitely paving the way for his directorial career.

This is even more precious than having the opportunity to make movies and TV series before.

"Brother Xian, I can never repay such a great kindness. From now on, half of my sunflower seeds will always be yours!"

Chen Xu solemnly took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and placed them in Ye Xian's hand, which made him laugh.

"Okay, I'll take your sunflower seeds!"

Knowing how important the melon seeds were to Chen Xu, Ye Xian understood that the little girl had been completely won over by him. However, Ye Xian still wanted to add an extra layer of protection: "The investment in this documentary won't be too large, at most a few million per episode, but in order to motivate you, you also need to invest."

"real?"

Chen Xu was not worried but happy. She knew very well that Ye Xian was indirectly making money for her.

With so many movies and TV series to her name, plus her live-streaming income, she's now a well-off woman. The problem is, with so much money suddenly available, how to spend it and how to make it generate more money is a real concern for her.

Now that Ye Xian has given her both a reason to film with dedication and the motivation to do so, she will definitely be more committed.

"Well, but if this film is to be a big hit, we need to get Her Highness to invest in it. So we need to talk to her about the final share distribution first. Don't worry too much, this film only makes a small amount of money, at most a few hundred million, so Her Highness should agree."

Ye Xian gave Chen Xu a heads-up: this film is titled "A Bite of Tang Dynasty," so it will definitely involve the Sixth Princess. Whether it's broadcast on major satellite TV channels or distributed to the United Kingdom, it will require the Sixth Princess's resources and connections.

As I always say, if you cling to someone powerful, everything will be fine.

Chen Xu nodded, completely understanding: "It's alright, I understand! As for money, the main wife should have the final say, and we mistresses can just get a piece of the pie."

Ye Xian's face darkened: "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. If you're not happy, I'll find someone else to take the picture!"

"Oh, please! Brother Xian, I'll do whatever you want!"

Chen Xu got anxious and immediately tugged at Ye Xian's sleeve, trying to act cute.

"What are you doing?"

Qiu Qing and Li Tingting happened to walk into the dressing room and were stunned by what they saw.

Chen Xu was extremely embarrassed, her face flushing red instantly: "Ah, do you believe me if I said I was rehearsing my lines with Brother Xian?"

I don't believe your ghosts!

Both women simultaneously despised Chen Xu in their hearts.
