Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 101 Preparation before the game
Da Tiantian was happy to see Zhou Mo’s serious expression.

At least her efforts were not in vain.

"If you really want to thank me, please agree to one of my requests."

Zhou Mo patted his chest and said, "Okay, whatever you want me to do, as long as I can do it, I'll do anything!"

Da Tiantian raised her eyebrows: "Really anything is fine?"

"whatever."

"What if I ask you to pledge yourself to me?"

Zhou Mo curled the corners of his mouth.

understood.

He then unzipped his jacket and prepared to take off his clothes.

Da Tiantian was stunned.

"What are you doing?"

"Didn't you ask for it? Give me your body."

"Why are you taking off your clothes when I'm willing to give you my body?"

"Of course I have to take off my clothes if I want to pledge my love to you. You didn't ask for my clothes."

As he spoke, Zhou Mo's hands had already touched his belt.

"stop--!"

Da Tiantian interrupted Zhou Mo's actions: "It's still in the company, put it on quickly."

Zhou Mo nodded: "You're right, it's still not very convenient at the company, let's wait until we get home, I'll take it off when we get home."

Da Tiantian: ...

She finally understood that in terms of bottom line, she would never be able to beat Zhou Mo in her life.

Zhou Mo put on his coat with some regret.

"Not playing anymore?"

"How can I play if you start with a big move?

Da Tiantian said angrily: "I don't want anything either. How about this, you help me prepare a movie. I feel like we haven't worked together for a long time."

Zhou Mo frowned slightly: "Tiantian, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but you also know that my next movie has been decided to be "Chu Han", and I can't make a movie for you in a short time."

Da Tiantian looked at him unhappily: "Of course I know you are going to shoot "Chu Han" next, what I mean is that you write a script and then I will find someone to shoot it myself.

The scripts on the market these days are so bad that there's no need to film them. And if I have to wait for you, it will take at least another year, so I might as well just find someone to film it myself."

Zhou Mo thought about it and found that what Da Tiantian said was indeed feasible.

It just so happened that he had a lot of scripts in his mind but was worried that he didn't have time to shoot them.

"Okay, I'll think of a script for you during this time. Do you have any preferences?"

Da Tiantian shook her head.

"Then you should continue to make romantic movies. You have accumulated a lot of fans in this field because of Love Is Not Blind. Romantic movies always have a large audience. You don't have to go out of your way to find a unique schedule."

In fact, Zhou Mo was afraid that Da Tiantian’s acting skills would not be able to hold up in other movies.

When it comes to filming romantic movies, Da Tiantian at least has the foundation of "Love Is Not Blind". After Zhou Mo's training in this area, her acting skills in expressing love are pretty good.

But other aspects may not be controlled.

"Okay, when will your script come out?"

"I will have the script ready by the end of January at the latest. Once you get it, you can start the process right away and try to release the movie before the end of the year."

Da Tiantian didn’t ask why it was so important to release the film before the end of the year.

Anyway, it’s always right to listen to Zhou Mo.

……

One week later.

Wanda Group issued an announcement.

The "InterContinental Hotel" project was officially signed.

When the news came out, the entire film and television industry was shocked.

In fact, it’s not just the film industry, many industries are shocked.

Everyone has always known that Wanda is building houses everywhere.

But the collaboration with a film and television company to reproduce a landmark building from one of its movies still made countless people drop their jaws.

Many people didn’t quite believe it at first.

I wonder if Shanhe Company is engaging in false advertising.

In 2011, the Internet was not particularly developed. In the minds of many people, real estate and film and television were two completely unrelated industries, and cooperation between them seemed like a fantasy.

Although Wanda Film and Television is developing in full swing.

However, many people still believe that Wanda is purely a real estate company and has never ventured into other fields (1).

It was not until that evening that Prince Wang posted an update on his Lizhan account.

"I had a meal with Director Zhou @周墨 today. It was very enjoyable."

There is a picture below.

It's a selfie of two people.

Only then did netizens become convinced that the news was true.

The ones who reacted the fastest to this were Zhou Mo’s fans.

"My brother Sha Ma has really become rich. He can even cooperate with Wanda."

"Wanda is going to build the InterContinental Hotel. What does this mean? It means Wanda is optimistic about John Wick. Brothers, you must buy tickets to support Ma!"

"Speaking of recreating buildings from film and television works, Lao Wang really wants to create an 'Oriental Disneyland'." "Play is play, joke is joke, don't joke with me, Lao Wang, Lao Wang is awesome."

The audience was mostly joking.

The reactions of some industry giants were mixed, as they were considering something deeper.

The bosses of several companies contacted each other privately.

"What is Zhou Mo's background? How did he get in touch with Wanda?"

"It should be Miss Jing who helped him contact her."

"Miss Jing... that's fine, but why would Miss Jing help him to make this connection? Are they in love? I haven't received any news."

"Ah, these are not important. What's important is whether Zhou Mo will only cooperate with Wanda in the future after he connects with Wanda, and whether we still have the opportunity to cooperate with them."

"Yep……"

Zhou Mo did not expect that just by cooperating with Wanda, and being on the weaker side, a bunch of industry leaders would begin to doubt his background.

But he didn't explain too much.

Some things will only get worse the more you explain them.

He just answered questions about cooperation and stated that he had not become Wanda Film's private soldier and would still open up opportunities for cooperation if there is a chance in the future.

……

the other side.

"The Lost Money" has been released.

The premiere date is December 29th.

The results were just as Zhou Mo had initially judged, extremely poor.

The first day box office didn’t even exceed five million.

There were quite a few cheers.

It’s a pity that no matter how many cheers there were, they seemed pale and powerless in the face of the first-day box office of less than five million.

In the office, Du Qifeng cursed loudly.

"Zhou Mo's plop was targeting me. Damn, he announced the cooperation with Wanda on the first day of my movie's release. It must be to attract the audience of "Overheard."

On the side, Luo Yongchang didn't say anything, but just curled his lips silently.

You don't even look at your grades.

five million.

Is it necessary for others to target you?

Luo Yongchang was also unhappy. As Du Qifeng's younger brother, he had suffered a lot from Du Qifeng during this period.

Before, when Du Qifeng insisted on fighting Zhou Mo head-on, he had advised him against it.

If you win, you don't gain any advantage, but if you lose, you suffer a loss.

Why bother?
But Du Qifeng was determined to make Zhou Mo suffer, and there was nothing he could do.

Later, Du Qifeng decided to focus on box office performance when promoting the film.

He also advised.

It's already been nominated for the Venice Film Festival, so why does it have to compete with others at the box office?

How great it is to promote the three major European awards.

But Du Qifeng didn't listen.

Du Qifeng believes that his failure to win the Venice Prize is not considered an achievement, and if he uses it for publicity, it will instead cause the audience to laugh at him.

Luo Yongchang felt that there might be something wrong with Du Qifeng's brain.

You didn’t win any of the three major awards and felt that the audience would laugh at you.

So if you advertise that "Overheard" will have such high box office, won't the audience laugh at you when the results come out and it's not good?

Luo Yongchang originally thought that Du Qifeng would only truly realize his mistake after seeing the first day's box office.

Unexpectedly, this person could come up with a reason to be targeted by Zhou Mo.

Luo Yongchang felt that if Du Qifeng continued to be so weird, he would be blamed one day too.

Du Qifeng still wasn't satisfied after cursing.

I started looking for recognition from my younger brother.

"Just wait and see. Zhou looks so smug now, but he won't be any better after his movie is released."

Luo Yongchang: "Ah, yes, yes, yes."

He no longer wanted to argue.

tired.

Destroy it.

……

Compared with Du Qifeng, the market reaction is completely different.

They have been waiting for "John Wick" for a long time.

Needless to say, everyone is looking forward to the performance of "John Wick: Chapter 11".

January 1st.

"John Wick" is officially released.

　ps1: I'm talking about me. I always thought Wanda was just a company that builds houses, until later I found out they have so many industries.

　　First update.

　　The rest will be updated slowly, don't worry
