Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 104 Wang Jing Arrives
After hearing this, Jiang Wen also laughed out loud.

"I can't afford to hire you, Director Zhou, to film a movie right now. What I'm saying is that I'll ask you to write a script with me again. I'll definitely invite you to be the screenwriter for my new movie in the future."

Jiang Wen is not a guy who likes anti-aircraft guns.

So when he mentioned the new movie, the expressions of many guests present changed.

They are considering whether there is an opportunity to get involved.

Especially the Mesozoic people like Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao who have been in the limelight recently.

The success of "Let the Bullets Fly" made them extremely envious and jealous of Chen Kun, and they wished they were the ones to be killed by Jiang Wen in the movie.

But Zhou Mo knew that Jiang Wen just had an idea at the moment.

It’s still a long way to go for the new movie.

At this moment, Jiang Wen’s mention of “new movie” was probably more to help him increase his popularity.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

it is more than words.

With Jiang Wen's assist, the premiere of "John Wick" came to an end.

But Zhou Mo can't rest yet.

He is going to be interviewed by the media.

After the interview, I still have to deal with the endless stream of actors who come to speak to me.

The sedan chair was carried by everyone.

People are here to support you.

After it was over, I wanted to say a few words to you, but you left me and ran away. That was too much.

It was not until five o'clock in the afternoon, when most people had left, that Zhou Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief and took the bread and water from his assistant.

While I was eating, Da Tiantian came over.

Pouting.

"What's going on? Who has offended our sweet princess?" Zhou Mo joked.

"A cruel scumbag."

Zhou Mo was filled with indignation: "I didn't expect that someone would dare to scum our sweet princess. This matter must not be let go like this!"

"Then what are you going to do?" Da Tiantian raised her eyebrows.

"It's not about what I'm going to do, but what you're going to do." Zhou Mo corrected, "If you meet a scumbag, I suggest you play with his feelings ruthlessly, wash his clothes and cook for him, serve him tea and water, have a deep soul communication with him, let him know that there is true love in this world, and shame him to death!"

Da Tiantian: ...

Still being beaten every day.

Forget it.

She stopped pretending.

"Tell me, why did you want to sit with Wu Jing and Zhang Jin? I just waited for you for a long time."

Zhou Mo was also helpless: "It's not that I don't want to look for you, it's just that those two guys were just like the two generals, they carried me directly to the front row, can you believe that I didn't even touch the ground from beginning to end!"

Zhou Mo recalled how he felt a few hours ago. He was a 1.80-meter-tall man, and was "held hostage" by two people who were 1.75 meters tall. He could not touch the ground the entire time and could only flutter around in the air.

He walked several dozen meters.

That's outrageous.

Da Tiantian imagined this scene and laughed out loud.

I laughed until my stomach hurt, and then I slowly stopped.

She said coquettishly, "I don't care. Your behavior today made me very sad. You promised to watch a movie with me, so you have to make it up to me."

"Oh? What do you want?"

"I just heard you and Director Jiang discussing the next movie, so..." Da Tiantian gave a look that said "you know what I mean".

In her heart, the filter of the great director is still very thick.

Especially directors like Jiang Wen who are still at the top of the box office list.

She has always wanted to work with a great director.

Zhou Mo covered his chest and said, "You already have me, and you still want to work with other directors?"

Da Tiantian patted him and said, "Let's talk about serious matters."

Zhou Mo shook his head: "Don't even think about it. When Lao Jiang makes a movie, he always promotes his wife or people of the same age. He basically won't use young people like you. And you don't really think he's going to make a new movie, do you?"

Da Tiantian was stunned. "Is Director Jiang not going to make a new movie? Then he just said the new movie..."

Zhou Mo waved his hand: "You think too much. The new movie that Lao Jiang mentioned is different from what most people know. His new movie is calculated based on at least three years."

He knows Jiang Wen too well.

This uncle is extremely slow in filming.

It takes a year to come up with the idea.

It takes a year to revise the script.

The filming took a year.

Post-production will take another year.

It would take at least three or four years for a movie to come out.

They are exactly the two extremes compared to Wang Jing.

If Wang Jing is good at formulaic diarrhea-style updates, then Jiang Wen is a constipation-type player.

"Besides, you don't have to worry too much. I promised to write a script for you before. I already have an idea in my mind. The script will be handed over to you in 20 days at most."

Da Tiantian was speechless: "You are so fast!"

Tsk!
"How can you talk like that, you unlucky child!" Zhou Mo glanced at her and said, "Do you still want the script?"

Da Tiantian surrendered immediately.

"I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing. Director Zhou is very efficient, just like Director Wang Jing."

As they were talking, Wang Jing came over.

"I'm sorry, I hope I didn't disturb your conversation."

Da Tiantian smiled and said, "Of course I won't disturb you. Speak of the devil, Director Wang, we were just talking about you."

Wang Jing was stunned: "Speaking of me? What about me?"

Zhou Mo: "They say you shoot movies like a waterfall, very fast."

Upon hearing this, Dajing was not displeased at all, but instead laughed out loud.

"Those two are really right."

He has never attached much importance to principles such as "good movies take time to polish".

In his mind, the first priority in making a movie is to make it sell.

Only if the films can be sold can the film market develop.

Everyone can afford to eat.

Thinking back to the most difficult years for the Hong Kong industry, it was because of his ability to make movies quickly that a large group of people had the opportunity to make money.

Therefore, when Wang Jing mentioned to others that he could shoot movies quickly, he was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he was quite proud of it.

After the joke, Zhou Mo asked Wang Jing why he came.

"Brother Jing, what are you doing here now?"

Wang Jing patted his belly and said, "Hey, brother, I'm here to discuss business with you. Didn't you say before that if John Wick: Chapter 11 is a success, you would talk to me about the filming of a related movie?"

Zhou Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Jing, you are so impatient. Our movie has only just been released on the first day, and we don't know what the subsequent results will be."

Wang Jing waved his hand and said, "It will be too late if we really wait until the results come out. Brother, you don't know that from what I know, several directors have already set their sights on your subsequent related works. I must take this opportunity today to discuss it with you first."

Da Tiantian: "It seems that Director Wang, you are very confident about the box office of John Wick."

"Of course."

Wang Jing curled the corners of his mouth, revealing his signature fat praying mantis smile.

“Ms. Jing may think that what I said during the interview was just polite, but it’s not true. Old Wang, my praise for John Wick just now was sincere. I really think it’s not difficult for this movie to break 500 million box office. If we find a promotional hotspot, even 600 million is not impossible.

So, I must get a firm message from Director Zhou first. If you are going to shoot any subsequent works related to John Wick, please contact me."

Seeing that Wang Jing was not joking, Zhou Mo nodded.

"Since you are so sincere, it would be hard for me to not agree. When I am done with my work over the next two days, we can find time to meet again and discuss the details in detail."

"no problem."

Wang Jing left with a smile on his face.

　The first update, today is still at least 1 words, the rest will be later, I will try to write more and post them together.

　　thank you all
