As a girl who aspires to become a great artist, Ouyang Xiangnan has always worked hard.

This "The Return of Wukong" has poured a lot of effort into Ouyang Xiangnan, and it also carries her long-standing dream.

But the real world is cruel, and hard work and dedication do not necessarily get flowers and applause, although Ouyang Xiangnan does have a certain artistic talent.

In the huge screening hall, only a few people watched the movie, and the number of people did not even exceed double digits, and the theater for the test screening was estimated to not even be able to earn back the electricity bill.

Capital is ruthless, and if it continues to develop in this form, it is estimated that after the official release of "The Return of Wukong", the number of films scheduled will be pitiful, and there is even a danger of being removed from the shelves in advance!

"Haha!" Seeing the funny picture of Zhu Bajie on the big screen, several children sitting in the front row laughed happily.

"This cartoon is good, you see these kids like to watch it. Seeing this, Duan Yun turned his head and smiled and comforted Ouyang Xiangnan.

"......Forehead" Ouyang Xiangnan's eyes were still a little distracted, obviously today's test screening made her extremely disappointed, and she was still in a trance.

Ouyang Xiangnan invested in Duan Yun's film and television company because she wanted to make a career on her own, she originally thought that if this film was successful, she could rely on this qualification to attract investment, and with new capital injection, she could carry out new animation projects, and accumulate one film after another, and finally make Clear Sky Film and Television become a well-known domestic animation brand, just like the world-famous Disney.

It's just that now it seems that Ouyang Xiangnan, who can only draw and doesn't understand the film and television market, still has a long way to go.

In addition, after this film hit the street, not only the previous investment cost could not be recovered, but it was still unknown whether Ouyang Xiangnan would be able to pull the investment in the next film......

But in any case, Ouyang Xiangnan did one thing right this time, that is, she did not greedily take over the Clear Sky Film and Television Company entirely, but left most of the shares to Duan Yun.

At this time, although Duan Yun's face was relaxed, he was actually thinking about the problem.

It stands to reason that when Duan Yun remembered his previous life, the box office of "The Return of Wukong" was very high, and finally reached one billion, this box office may be a little watery, but it will not be much different.

But judging from the current situation, the beginning of this film has clearly shown signs of decline, and the scene after its official release is not optimistic.

Duan Yun carefully recalled the specific details of his previous life's memories of this film, and his face quickly showed a sudden expression.

It turned out that in his previous life, the director of the film "The Return of Wukong" did not get such a timely and abundant investment from Duan Yun as he does now, and it took him several years to raise enough funds to produce the film through crowdfunding.

During this period, Tian Xiaopeng, the director of "The Return of Wukong", spent a lot of time promoting the film himself, and despite his limited ability, he still managed to attract the attention of many domestic anime fans to this film.

In addition, when the film "The Return of Wukong" was first released, there were not many people who watched the movie, but after the first batch of viewers who entered the theater to watch it found that the film was very good, they forwarded a large number of views about the film through the function of the WeChat circle of friends on their mobile phones, and the large-scale spontaneous publicity like a pyramid scheme soon made the film known to everyone, and even the Internet and newspaper media also made positive comments on the film, so that in the later stage of the film's release, "Wukong Returns" completed a big counterattack, ended perfectly with a box office of more than one billion, and became the most profitable cartoon in the history of domestic animation!

But today's problem is that at present, domestic mobile phones and smart phones have not yet been popularized in a large area, and things like WeChat have not yet been invented, so it is basically impossible to reproduce the phenomenon of national Amway back then.

Just as Duan Yun was pondering, the film was already halfway through the screening unconsciously.

The parents with children sitting in the front row were also completely immersed in the plot of the film at this time, and they obviously didn't expect that the cartoon originally for children was so exciting, so that they, the middle-aged people, were also a little obsessed.

And in the last * part of the film, when Sun Wukong finally broke out and displayed his devastating golden hoop stick, several viewers in the front row were completely shocked by the gorgeous and impactful picture.

So much so that after the film ended, the people in the front row still had no intention of leaving, they stared at the ending song released on the screen and still stared blankly, obviously not recovering from the shock brought to them by the film......

"Very exciting!" After Duan Yun watched this film, he also turned his head and praised Ouyang Xiangnan sincerely.

He likes this film from the bottom of his heart, although there are still some imperfections, but such a work is already a high-level production that has been rare in domestic animation for several years.

"Let's go......" At this time, Ouyang Xiangnan had already wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a tissue, and said to Duan Yun in a flat tone.

"Hmm. After Duan Yun answered, the two got up and left the screening hall.

Out of the theater, Duan Yun and Ouyang Xiangnan came directly to a shopping mall restaurant next to them, found a place, and sat down face to face.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, and this film will probably not pay off. After the two sat down, Ouyang Xiangnan sighed lightly and said.

"Why do you say that?" Duan Yun frowned when he heard this, and then said: "This is just a test screening, and it hasn't been officially released yet, did you see it just now, the audience in the front row is quite fascinated, which shows that your film is very attractive......

"You don't have to comfort me, it's because I watch the movie industry too simply, and I naively think that I have the ability to make money like you......" Ouyang Xiangnan pondered for a while, and then said: "Do you have a cigarette, give me a ......"

"Nope!"

"You lied to me, I saw you smoking before you came here. Ouyang Xiangnan was a little emotional, but soon said to Duan Yun in a pleading tone: "Please, give me a cigarette ......"

"Okay......" Duan Yun sighed when he saw this, took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw it to Ouyang Xiangnan, and said, "There are indeed a little fewer people buying tickets today, but the film has not been officially released yet, so you don't have to be discouraged." ”

"I said, you don't have to comfort me, it's a street fight. After Ouyang Xiangnan lit the cigarette, he took a puff gently, his face full of loneliness.

"You said that the film hit the street?" Duan Yun frowned when he heard this, and then said, "I don't agree!"
