Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 121 Victory Broadcast
The next day, the Internet was flooded with news about the Korean group's entry into the domestic market and a few hours of performance yesterday.

There was celebration in the media.

Even some official media participated in the publicity, stating that cultural exchanges between the two places will start with the entertainment industry and further deepen cooperation.

Reactions vary from person to person within the circle.

Entertainment giants of Huayi's size and Zhou Mo's Shanhe don't care about this, as it does not affect their respective businesses anyway.

Audiences who usually like Korean Wave are very happy, as they will be able to chase their idols more conveniently in the future.

The only ones injured were a group of domestic actors and celebrities.

They think that this group of Korean waves are all from outside trying to steal resources, so they are very hostile to them.

Da Tiantian’s ideas are somewhat similar to those of the above-mentioned actors.

This girl had happily signed a contract with the company behind the girl group yesterday, hiring them to perform in the future.

Early this morning, I sat on the sofa in a depressed mood.

While sighing, he would also utter a few classic lines from Xianglin Sao.

"I'm stupid, really."

Zhou Mo had been listening to her underestimate for nearly half an hour. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? You started chanting sutras so early in the morning?"

Da Tiantian: "I regret it. After thinking about it last night, I realized that those Korean group members shouldn't have come."

"What?"

"Of course it's because after they come here, they will take away the resources of our group of domestic artists, especially since I found out that their prices are so cheap."

People speak for their own butts.

Last night, Da Tiantian, from the perspective of an "old prostitute", was so obsessed with a certain young lady that he wanted to grab her and take her into the house to have sex with her.

Today, Da Tiantian has come to her senses and returned to her identity as an actor. She has decisively begun to dislike these people who may snatch her opportunities.

Zhou Mo nodded: "When it comes to actor pay, actors in the other two Asian countries are indeed doing much better than in China."

In 2012, the pay of celebrities in the entertainment industry began to inflate.

In comparison, the Korean stars can indeed be said to be "good value for money".

Zhou Mo: "I think it's great. These domestic actors are used to getting high salaries, and none of them improve their acting skills. Moreover, they complain about the low salary. We should let the Korean wave come in to adjust the market and let them feel the spring shock that belongs only to the Korean wave!"

Da Tiantian then realized that the person in front of her was the biggest money-saving expert.

"You must be so happy. This group of Korean pop stars are not only famous but also cheap. I guess you will make a lot of use of them when you make movies in the future." Da Tiantian complained.

"Not necessarily. The Korean group is cheap, but if they are used too much, the impact will not be good. We still need to pay attention to domestic public opinion."

When Zhou Mo spoke, there was a hint of regret in his tone.

But the smile that almost raised the corners of his mouth to the sky truly exposed his thoughts.

When he makes movies in the future, he really needs to pay attention to the selection of actors.

For example, in a historical film like "Chu and Han", you definitely cannot use a bunch of provincial actors to play domestic historical figures.

This kind of thing is always a low-level mistake.

Han Sanping even called him to remind him.

Zhou Mo will definitely not make any mistakes.

Unless he wants to make a TV series in the future about a time-traveling emperor conquering the world, he will then call a bunch of young ladies from other countries to play the role of concubines.

For example, Lin Yuna, Aragaki Yui, Ishihara Satomi...

But for some other movies, such as "John Wick", the background is originally set in a simple way, so there is no pressure to use simple actors.

They should be used ruthlessly. After all, the protagonist kills people from that area.

Da Tiantian saw what Zhou Mo was thinking at a glance.

"I knew you were going to use actors from there. I asked you why you wanted to set the background of John Wick there. How long have you been planning this? Do you have a goal in mind?"

Zhou Mo didn't say anything.

Da Tiantian was just joking, but after seeing Zhou Mo's reaction, she asked in disbelief, "No way, are you really thinking of letting that girl group make your movie?"

Zhou Mo still didn't say anything.

At this moment, a movie he had seen in his previous life actually appeared in his mind.

"Mermaid".

The actress who plays the female lead is named Fei Xia, and her stage name is Lin Yun.

It's obvious at first glance that he's committing fraud.

In this life, if the original products were used, the film’s performance would surely be more outstanding.

Da Tiantian suddenly asked: "Who are you thinking about now?"

"Lin Yuna." Zhou Mo told the truth.

"It was her. When you were chatting with me yesterday, the name you mentioned the most was hers."

Zhou Mo complained: "But you've said it more times than I did. At that time, you pointed at Lin Yuner's photo and said that you must work with her in the future."

Da Tiantian blushed: "That's because I drank a little yesterday, I couldn't control myself, and I said nonsense."

Zhou Mo added silently: "I've only heard of people sleeping after drinking, but I've never heard of people becoming movie queens after drinking, and even saying they want to help others and take them to success."

Da Tiantian covered her face and then asked tentatively: "When are you going to let her star in your movie?"

Zhou Mo said helplessly: "You are thinking too far ahead. I just have a small idea now, and it was you who brought up this idea. As for making a movie, it will probably take a few years.

And you don't have to worry. You are now shooting our own works. The Korean wave will not have any impact on you. After all, our company's dramas usually let you choose first, and only those you don't want will be given to others."

Da Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief.

She was also confused for a moment, and only when she came to her senses did she realize that she had overthought.

"Yeah, I'm the boss!"

Seeing this, Zhou Mo suddenly asked, "By the way, didn't "Victory is Justice" start airing these two days? How is it going?"

Da Tiantian rolled her eyes beautifully.

"How could you still think of 'Victory is Justice'? It's obviously the script you wrote, but you don't care about it at all." Da Tiantian tapped Zhou Mo's head lightly, and then told him the results: "The first day's ratings were 2.1, and the results the day before yesterday were around 2.7."

"not bad."

Zhou Li did a quick calculation of the time: "Then the plot should have progressed to the part about the quarrel in the entertainment industry."

"Yes, it's the 'Entertainment Industry Backstabbing' incident. I heard from Sister Li yesterday that since the day this set came out, the ratings of Victory have increased by nearly 0.5 percentage points."

Datian nodded, but there was not much excitement on her face.

"Why? You look a little unhappy." Zhou Mo asked.

Da Tiantian was a little unhappy.

"Zhou Mo, isn't this rating a bit low?"

　Finally caught up.
