Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 131 Guidance 2
Zhou Mo is an experienced pastry chef.

It has almost become an instinct to make empty promises.

But he didn't expect that when Liu Yifei heard that there was a script for her to perform, she was obviously excited.

When people get excited, their minds tend to become unclear.

What made Liu Yifei so excited was that in order to show her sincerity, she directly signed the contract provided by Shanhe Company.

Zhou Mo took a look at the numbers on the contract.

He really didn't think that he would be able to sign a contract with Liu Yifei at such a low price.

We were just negotiating a contract.

Asking for prices all over the place and paying back the money on the ground.

My name is Ba Wan.

Two hundred for every word you say.

Neither side is allowed to get angry.

How much you can negotiate for a price depends entirely on your ability.

At this moment, Zhou Mo suddenly had some enlightenment in his mind.

Why did Aunt Liu never dare to stay too far away from her daughter?

Based on the price in the contract, if Liu Yifei were to break away from Liu Ma and go out on her own, she would probably be sitting there grinning if she got cheated later.

Of course, Zhou Mo would definitely not take the initiative to trick Liu Yifei.

It's hard to get over the fact that you cheated a fool.

He was thinking about something else.

With Liu Yifei's smart mind, when she gets familiar with the cast, maybe she can really bypass her mother and let her star in "Loving Family".

Don’t look at Liu Yifei sitting obediently on the chair now.

Zhou Mo has already discovered that this girl does have a bit of a rebellious personality.

So, he took the initiative to suggest: "Now that we have finished talking about your team problem, let's actually talk about some of your acting problems next. I just heard that you have always wanted to broaden your acting range?"

Liu Yifei nodded: "Yes, I actually had this idea a long time ago. The roles I have played so far are actually not very different. They are either otherworldly characters like Xiao Long Nu and Wang Yu Yan, or kindhearted characters like Zhao Ling Er and Wu Qing. There are basically no other roles."

In fact, there are still some.

For example, Liu Yifei has played the role of Nie Xiaoqian.

But after the release of "A Chinese Ghost Story" last year, she was criticized a lot, and many viewers said they liked the Canadian grocery shopping lady better.

Therefore, Liu Yifei naturally skipped the role of Nie Xiaoqian.

After hearing what Liu Yifei said, Zhou Mo was overjoyed.

He was still worrying about how to lure Liu Yifei to shoot the bad woman, but he didn't expect the opponent to take the initiative to shoot.

God help me.

So Zhou Mo pretended to observe Liu Yifei for a long time, until he felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and then he withdrew his gaze.

Touching his chin, he said, "Have you ever thought about trying some contrasting roles?"

Liu Yifei was stunned: "Contrast type?"

"Yes, the characters are no longer just kind, innocent, and brave, but domineering, strong, and even a little vicious, just like Shi Guanyin in "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" and Jiang Yuyan in "The Legend of Jiang Yuyan"...

This type of role is one you have never tried before. If you can play it, it will surely bring enough surprises to the audience and greatly broaden your acting range.

Think about it, once you play these roles, the labels of the past will no longer bind you, and you will have a brighter future. "

Liu Yifei felt dizzy from the sight of the pancake in front of her.

Of course she knew the two characters Shi Guanyin and Jiang Yuyan.

The former could suppress Chu Liuxiang to the point where he had no other options.

The latter even killed the entire drama to the point where only the title remained.

If I could play a role like this...

Liu Yifei subconsciously asked, "Director Zhou, do you already have a script for this kind of role?"

"No."

"what?"

Liu Yifei was disappointed.

What are you talking to me about? Are you kidding me?
"But I have another idea that will allow you to experience the charm of this kind of role first."

Liu Yifei was curious: "What?"

Zhou Mo asked, "You know "Qi Family Knife", right?"

The project of "Qi Family Blade" has been approved, and Lu Yang is still the director.

The quality of the previous life's "Blade of the Assassin" was very good, so there would be basically no problem in handing it over to Lu Yang.

And there is no need to worry that Lu Yang will not be able to control the crew, this guy has a great background. Liu Yifei nodded.

"I remember this movie should bring together the three beauties from The Legend of Sword and Fairy, and Director Zhou even prepared a plot line for each of them."

When she said this, her tone was still filled with a hint of emotion.

Not only did those people start later than her, but they were also far less famous than her. However, in just a few years, they have all been able to star in Shanhe's movies.

And she is still spinning in circles.

Liu Yifei has read the script of "The Qi Family Knife".

To be honest, she didn't think she was incapable of playing the role of the third beauty in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

So, she feels very sorry now.

Zhou Mo continued, "I arranged for the open and covert struggles between the three of them in the play. This is a hidden line in the story. Before that, I also conducted a survey to investigate the audience's expectations for watching the fight between the three beauties in the Chinese Paladin. The conclusion proved that many viewers really wanted to see this.

So, when the box office of "Qi Jia Dao" comes out in the future and the data is good, it will prove that the audience really likes to watch this content. At that time, I will write a script and let you and those three, the four of you can have a big fight, and express all the past grievances and hatreds among each other at once. The bolder the better, the more straightforward the better. As long as you are willing, I can guarantee that the performance of this movie will be very good. "

Liu Yifei listened with great interest at first.

But the more I listened, the more something seemed wrong.

Four women get together to make a movie, fighting openly and secretly, and being bold and straightforward.

Isn't that just a fight?

She silently glanced at Zhou Mo, who was full of excitement: "Director Zhou, rather than suggesting that I expand my acting range, it's more like you want to see a few of us fighting in the movie."

"Actually, I have both," Zhou Mo looked at Liu Yifei expectantly, "How about it, are you interested?"

Liu Yifei shook her head repeatedly.

"Of course not. It would be too damaging to my image to play such a role."

Zhou Mo was very disappointed: "You young actresses are too focused on your image on the screen. In fact, this is useless. Look at what happened between Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi a few days ago. They are even going to court. Has it affected their status?"

Liu Yifei ignored Zhou Mo's subsequent words.

She keenly grasped the word "you".

It seems that Zhou Mo has given this suggestion to more than just her.

I guess other young actresses have mentioned it too.

It's a bad intention!
I didn't expect you to be such a Director Zhou.

Before, in Liu Yifei's eyes, Zhou Mo's image of being talented and a bit aloof suddenly had several cracks.

"Director Zhou, let's not talk about whether fighting will affect your status and resources. Is there really a movie in reality that relies entirely on women fighting and can gain super high box office?"

Zhou Mo looked at her strangely.

"Yes, isn't it like Kill Bill? Women fight, and the box office keeps going up."

Liu Yifei:......

Okay.

Just one moment they were talking about a quarrel, and then it turned into a bloody fight.

"But a movie of the level of Kill Bill is too difficult for a few of us. It's simply impossible to achieve."

"Of course I know I can't do it. Not to mention you, even I can't do it to Quentin's level. But that doesn't stop you from fighting. Anyway, Kill Bill has proved that this path is definitely feasible."

Zhou Mo rubbed his hands with excitement when he thought of the scene where the "Great Tang Poets" quarreled with each other in the same movie.

Liu Yifei could see that Zhou Mo was the kind of person who just loved to watch the fun and not mind the chaos.

He definitely didn't make the suggestion casually.

But more importantly, it's for fun.

In fact, Liu Yifei has a heart to be a good actor.

She is also willing to make changes to improve her acting skills and broaden her acting range.

But no matter what, the fighting scene in the movie still made her feel a little unacceptable for a while.

She shook her head and said, "Director Zhou, your idea is a little too sudden. Wait for me to discuss it with my mother later."

When Zhou Mo heard that Liu Yifei wanted to discuss this with his mother, he became anxious.

If I really ask you to discuss it with your mother, then no matter how much I talk, it will be useless.

Zhou Mo felt extremely heartbroken when he thought that the future quarrel might be in vain.

Absolutely don’t do this kind of thing!

Zhou Mo suggested, "How about this, don't rush to tell your mother about this, we can make an agreement in advance. Anyway, the movie is just an idea now. After "Qi Jia Dao" is released, if the performance is really good and you find nothing wrong with it after watching it, then you can decide whether to make this movie. If you still don't want to make it by then, then I will find someone else."

A few words, pushing and pulling.

After listening to this, Liu Yifei realized that she was not the only candidate and fell into a state of anxiety again.

　Some time ago, I was reading a novel by another urban writer and found that the branch transition chapters were hidden in the main text, with a little bit written in each chapter and completed in several times.

　　I also learn to write this way
