Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 132: Screenwriter Zhou's value is still rising

Liu Yifei was supposed to leave at noon.

Zhou Mo kept her for a while, saying that he wanted to introduce her to Da Tiantian.

Liu Yifei was also very curious about Da Tiantian, whose first movie grossed 400 million yuan at the box office, so she agreed to stay for a while.

After the two met and talked about some things, their relationship quickly heated up.

After a while, they linked their arms around each other, looking like good friends.

Zhou Mo looked at the two people laughing and joking, and did not think the scene was very beautiful.

Instead, it feels like looking at two idiots.

Especially after hearing the conversation between the two.

"Xixi, the little dragon girl you filmed before was so amazing. When I was a child, I dreamed of being as beautiful as you one day."

"No, your Huang Xiaoxian is amazing. I cried when I watched the movie for the first time."

"Hehe, is that so? Actually, it's not that great..."

Zhou Mo glanced at Da Tiantian whose face was slightly red.

Sure enough, among the two fools.

Da Tiantian is still more naive.

in the afternoon.

Huo Wenxi came over.

To discuss some things about "Little People".

It will take at least a year to build the InterContinental Hotel scene at Wanda.

It just so happened that the InterContinental Hotel that Zhou Mo had built in Xiangcheng was not yet in place, so he simply let "Little Man" continue filming there.

It was also for this reason that this time, Zhou Mo was basically not responsible for the arrangement of "Little Man". He just gave the script and kept 70% of the investment share.

The rest will be left to Eagle King.

Shanhe Company is currently qualified to only control the overall situation, leave the details to others, and make money behind the scenes.

Huo Wenxi came this time and brought a piece of news.

"Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhen Gongfu started a fight on the set of "Special Identity."

The cause of the incident was that the crew of "Special Identity" issued a notice in advance, saying that Zhao Wenzhuo was acting like a big shot in the crew, bringing seven assistants with him, demanding changes to the script, and refusing to start work.

As soon as the news was released, Hong Kong media immediately began to report it extensively.

Immediately afterwards, in less than half a day, the crew of "Special Identity" immediately found an actor to replace Zhao Wenzhuo, indicating that the filming of the crew has gradually returned to normal.

On the other hand, Zhao Wenzhuo brought his lawyers to hold a press conference in Yanjing.

On the show, Zhao Wenzhuo refuted the "accusations" made against him by the crew of "Special Identity" in all aspects.

The director has changed.

The script is different.

The scenes were cut.

The male lead becomes a supporting role.

At the end of his speech, Zhao Wenzhuo also gave a notice issued to him by the crew: From xx time onwards, the crew will not provide accommodation for Zhao Wenzhuo and his team.

The reason...

The crew's budget was seriously overspent.

Zhao Wenzhuo responded by saying, "It may be that there was an overspending, but it was definitely not on me. All my expenses are detailed. I guess only the crew knows where the investors' money was spent."

After this incident, the two sides refuted each other several times over the conflict.

Zhen Kung Fu said that Zhao Wenzhuo was a big shot. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have been able to join the crew.

Zhao Wenzhuo said he didn’t know whether I could join the crew, but he dared to make all the contracts public. Do you dare?
The media in both places were extremely excited and felt that the market conditions in the past two months were really good.

It’s just like Chinese New Year.

First, a group of actors besieged Yin Xiaotian.

After the heat has passed, there will be another wave of battles between kung fu superstars.

The Hong Kong media was still the fastest to react, with several media outlets working together to stir up the heat.

The mainland media was a little slow, but at least they caught up with the progress.

With the media adding fuel to the fire.

The two sides completely broke off relations.

As the situation escalated, people outside the "Special Identity" crew gradually began to join the battlefield.

The Hong Kong media basically all support Zhen Kung Fu.

For example, Shu Qi.

A few days after the incident between Zhen and Zhao, Shu Qi stood up and made a long speech, clearly supporting Zhen Kung Fu.

"Zhen Gongfu is an extremely dedicated...good actor, it's definitely not his problem."

After Shu Qi, another large group of island film staff began to cheer for Zhen Kung Fu.

Chen Kexin, Wu Junru, Huang Baiming...

On Zhao Wenzhuo's side, the support is relatively weaker.

Qin Lan, Da Mi, Zuo Xiaoqing...

Compared with the hot situation in the circle, this time, there was no major disturbance outside the circle.

This is different from the usual practice in the entertainment industry where every time there is a fight between stars, there will be a lot of fans, bystanders, and spectators getting involved.

During this incident, the audience remained relatively restrained.

It’s not that they didn’t respond to it.

Rather, many people felt that the debate on the Internet seemed familiar.

"I think I just saw this happen."

“How can they be so similar?”

"They look alike. So damn similar."

"The above, how can this be similar? This is exactly the same. One party started to condemn first, but could not produce any actual evidence and could only talk nonsense. The other party was also willing to confront face to face and was willing to produce the contract to prove it. Can't we tell who is right and who is wrong at a glance?
Do you really think that all netizens are idiots, secretly instigating us to take sides and then help you charge into battle? Can you use your brains? "

"If you ask me, don't worry about who is right or wrong, just let them fight. After all, they are both kung fu stars, isn't it normal to make friends through martial arts? Fortunately, Director Zhou and Du Qifeng didn't fight last time, which made me regret it for a long time."

"Yes, let's just sit back and watch the show. We'll go up and punish the fallen dog when the truth comes out. Before that, I, Long Aotian, will never easily take sides."

"Well said. I, Zhao Ritian, will follow this decision."

Da Tiantian read the comments from netizens and laughed so hard that she covered her stomach.

"This group of netizens are so talented, Zhou Mo, they are all praising you for your increasing value, and some even say you are a modern Zhuge Liang."

Zhou Mo smiled.

"These guys can really make a living."

Halfway through reading, he suddenly let out a light exclamation.

"There are experts among the people."

Da Tiantian was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Mo turned the screen around and faced her.

Da Tiantian looked at the content on the screen and raised her eyebrows.

is a comment.

"On the surface, this incident is a fight between two big-name actors, but the outbreak of conflict between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait in the mainland's film industry... is it really so serious?"

Zhou Mo nodded: "Of course, if it was just a fight between two actors, how could it be possible for a group of directors, producers, and even company bosses to come out and support it?

In the previous incident of "stabbing back", did you see that the directors and company bosses had any conversations? Didn't they just let the actors and stars sort it out among themselves?"

Da Tiantian suddenly realized: "I was wondering why Director Tan Bing would stand up and accuse 'actors over there of oppressing mainland filmmakers', it turns out there is this meaning behind it."

She thought for a moment and then asked, "What about you? According to your personality, you will definitely do something this time."

"of course."

Zhou Mo smiled.

He opened the door and welcomed Huo Wenxi and Wang Jing into the room.

He got straight to the point and said, "I'm sure you two know the details. You both know whether Zhao Wenzhuo has any problems or not. It just so happens that the approval of "Little People" came down a few days ago. We will take this opportunity to launch the first shot of the film promotion. And "Special Identity" is the target of our sacrifice."

Wang Jing smiled and patted his stomach.

"No problem. I've been waiting for you to say that. I'll follow Shanhe and Eagle King once they release the information."

Of course he understood why Zhou Mo mentioned Zhen Kung Fu at this time.

It's nothing more than a public statement.

Wang Jing had actually been prepared for this a long time ago.

In fact, according to normal development, if Wang Jing encountered similar things, he would have spoken out online a long time ago.

And once a voice is spoken, it is most likely Zhen Kung Fu.

After all, his roots are still in Xiangcheng.

But this time, Wang Jing resisted the urge to post a single word online.

He was waiting for news from Zhou Mo.

Since he has decided to take on "Little Man" and turned down Bo Na's "Big Shanghai City" for it, Wang Jing will definitely not offend his boss because of the actors' stance.

When it comes to satisfying investors, Wang Jing has always been very clear.

If Wang Jing rashly stands on Zhen Kung Fu's side, he might conflict with Zhou Mo. After all, Wang Jing knows that Zhou Mo is willing to choose Zhao Wenzhuo and must be optimistic about the latter.

If Zhou Mo is satisfied, there is a high probability that he will be able to get a few film projects from Zhou Mo in the future.

Didn’t you see that when Zhuang Wenqiang went to film "The Whistleblower" some time ago, he received some support from Zhou Mo.

The difference between having one meal full and having every meal full.

Wang Jing was still very clear.

As for who Zhen Kung Fu is?
Excuse me.

Really unfamiliar.

Huo Wenxi also responded: "Don't worry, Director Zhou. President Yang had already explained before I came here that regarding the promotion of "Little People", Eagle King fully supports Director Zhou's plan."

Zhou Mo nodded, very satisfied with Boss Yang's response.

Looking at the bosses of so many film and television companies in Hong Kong, Boss Yang should be the first and most direct boss to approach the mainland.

　After this incident, Little Cannon got a new nickname.

　　Whisper.
