Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 110 A Script Prepared for Tiantian
At the celebration banquet, Zhang Jin shed tears.

In particular, he expressed his gratitude to Zhou Mo and Cai Shaofen over and over again.

Next to Zhou Mo, Wu Jing's eyes were red.

Zhou Mo joked, "Why, Brother Jing, are you envious of Brother Jin for having Sister Fen's support?"

Wu Jing: "Of course not, why would I cry just because of my wife's support..."

Zhou Mo clicked his tongue twice when he saw how stubborn he was.

Forget it, I won’t provoke him anymore.

After a while, Wu Jing drank a few more glasses and went to find Zhou Mo again under the influence of alcohol.

"Director Zhou, didn't you say before that if John Wick becomes popular, then... hehe."

Zhou Mo looked at him, half drunk, and said with a smile: "Brother Jing, the problem now is not that I don't want to shoot with you, but that you can't shoot. I remember you said some time ago that the army wanted you to shoot "Knives Out". Can you leave the army alone during this period of time to shoot a movie?"

"Oh yeah, I have another acting contract."

Wu Jing was half sober and said with some regret: "It seems that it will be difficult to work with you again this year, Director Zhou, but you must not forget me. I will report to Shanhe Company as soon as I finish filming "Special Forces"."

"Don't worry, Brother Jing. I have already thought of the script for "Cold Wind". Just wait until you are free." Zhou Mo agreed casually.

In fact, Zhou Mo also felt a little regretful that he could not shoot "Cold Wind" immediately.

Originally, if "Cold Wind" could be completed within half a year while the popularity of "John Wick" has not yet passed, and then released in the second half of the year, the linkage between the two films would probably provide a good BUFF for "Cold Wind".

Now if Wu Jing goes to film "Knives Out", she will definitely not be able to catch up with the first wave of popularity.

But this is not without its benefits.

At the very least, in Zhou Mo's memory, the ratings of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier: Blade Out of the Sheath" were quite good. By then, Wu Jing's popularity would be able to rise one or two levels.

This will also help promote the new movie.

……

In the afternoon, I finally got rid of those clingy drunkards.

It was already past five o'clock when I returned to the company.

Da Tiantian was waiting in the office early in the morning.

Smelling the alcohol on Zhou Mo's body, he stood up and gave him some hangover medicine: "You've been drinking a lot."

Zhou Mo waved his hand: "I hardly touched the cup myself. The smell on my body was left by those people who toasted me."

Speaking of being toasted, Zhou Mo shuddered.

You can never imagine how passionate a group of middle-aged men like fire can be.

Any female celebrity is weak in comparison.

Seeing Zhou Mo's frightened look, Da Tiantian secretly laughed and said, "There are times when you, Director Zhou, are scared. I thought you would only be besieged by female stars."

Zhou Mo spread his hands: "I would like to be surrounded by female stars, but the point is that John Wick is a male movie from beginning to end, and there are even fewer female actors than in New World."

"By the way, the head of the company just came to me and said that the final box office forecast for John Wick: Chapter 6.2 has been released, and it's about million."

"6.2 million?"

Zhou Mo thought about it.

This number is acceptable. According to normal development, by the time the subsequent "John Wick" films are completed, this number will be at least seven or eight times higher.

After discussing "John Wick", Zhou Mo mentioned the movie script he had promised Da Tiantian before, which he had prepared for her.

open a file.

When a Man Falls in Love.

Give up the seat and let Tiantian read the script alone.

Zhou Mo fell into deep thought.

He found this movie specifically based on Da Tiantian's situation.

The acting responsibility of the whole play mainly lies with the male lead, and the requirements for the female lead are relatively low.

In terms of plot, it tells the story of a kind-hearted ruffian uncle and a kind-hearted girl, who experienced mutual misunderstanding, love, forced separation, and finally separation of life and death.

A very classic combination of men, women, old and young.

And it is produced in Han Province.

In the previous life, the leading actors of this movie were Hwang Jung-min and Han Hye-jin. Needless to say, the former is one of the leading young stars in the film industry of Han Province.

"New World" was taken from him.

The latter's acting skills are not outstanding. If the same role is given to Da Tiantian, who has been taught by him, it at least won't seem abrupt.

As for the male lead, of course, he is still the best domestic substitute for Hwang Jung-min.

Sun Honglei.

It just so happened that Sun Honglei had played the male lead in "Eyewitness" in his previous life, and he was also the kind of character who still had a conscience and was loyal to love.

And they are the same combination as the heroine, an uncle and a young girl.

There shouldn't be any problem in inviting him to play the male lead in "When a Man Falls in Love" and bring Da Tiantian along as well.

Half an hour later, Da Tiantian's eyes left the screen. "Have you finished watching?"

"Ah."

Da Tiantian rubbed her eyes, her eye sockets were a little red.

"Zhou Mo, you are worthy of being me. This script is so touching."

Zhou Mo looked at her moved expression and was a little confused.

"As for it?"

"How could it be that? The hero and heroine went through so many hardships but didn't end up together. Isn't such a plot touching?"

Zhou Mo: "Well... it's okay."

Although he wrote the script, he actually didn't feel any significant emotion during the writing process.

As we all know, love dramas in cold provinces can never escape the three elements of "cancer, car accidents, and amnesia".

When you first see it, it's really touching.

But after seeing it so many times, it's just like that.

No matter how good a plot is, it will become useless after being used a hundred times.

The same is true of "When a Man Falls in Love".

The only difference is that this time it’s the hero, not the heroine, who has cancer.

Since Da Tiantian had already read the entire script, Zhou Mo simply walked her through the plot and explained some details.

"The plot of the heroine in this movie is not too difficult overall, but there are a few emotional outbursts that require you to pay special attention. For example, the hero agreed to get married but did not go to the scene on the day of getting the marriage certificate, and later the heroine found out that the hero had cancer and didn't have much time left..."

After the explanation, he asked, "Do you have any questions about this play?"

"No, it's fine." Da Tiantian was full of confidence: "Don't worry, Zhou Mo, I will let you see my progress in this movie."

Zhou Mo was originally very calm.

But when he heard this, he admitted that he was a little panicked.

There is a saying that goes, don’t be afraid of the rich second generation eating, drinking, defecating and urinating every day and picking up girls and spending money recklessly.

I’m afraid that the second generation of rich people have ideals and want to start a business.

Zhou Mo has similar thoughts now.

If this movie had been shot normally, Da Tiantian would have followed his instructions and followed behind Sun Honglei, and basically would have been able to avoid being a drag.

But if Da Tiantian suddenly has an idea and really wants to take the initiative to give it a try, the result will be unpredictable.

Zhou Mo would definitely not allow such a thing.

He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, Tiantian..."

As soon as he started to say something, Da Tiantian blocked his mouth.

"Okay, don't say any more."

Zhou Mo nodded, very satisfied with Da Tiantian's reaction.

The two of them now have a tacit understanding.

Whenever Zhou Mo wanted to say something or made a move, Da Tiantian would react accordingly.

Especially whenever Zhou Mo tried to dissuade Da Tiantian from doing something whimsical.

For example, trying to show off one's acting skills to the audience.

"You don't trust me!" Da Tiantian was very angry.

Zhou Mo corrected him, "This is not a matter of trust or not, this is a matter of having or not having it, Tiantian, you can't force yourself to show the audience something you don't have, it's too difficult for you."

Da Tiantian: ...

She comforted herself frantically in her heart.

Don't be angry.

Don't be angry.

After all, it was you who chose him, so you must not be angry.

After finally adjusting her mentality, she asked, "What about the movie casting, what about other roles?"

"The male lead is of course Sun Honglei, you should have guessed this, and then there is the cameo appearance of the male lead's father. I have already contacted Mr. Li Zhijian."

Da Tiantian nodded, very satisfied.

"What about the director?"

"Han Yan."

　The third update, there will be another update tonight

　　Let’s eat first.
