Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 133: Victory

Five p.m.

After Zhou Mo, Huo Wenxi and Wang Jing finished talking about the promotion of "Little Man", the assistant called and said that the hotel had been booked.

Zhou Mo led the two to the hotel.

When I went out, I found Liu Yifei still sitting at the door.

"Why haven't you gone home yet? Hasn't your mother come to pick you up?"

Liu Yifei:......

Da Tiantian rushed over and took Liu Yifei's arm.

"I asked Xixi to stay. I want to discuss acting with her again."

Zhou Mo didn't say anything.

Exchange acting skills?

The communication condition is pretty much the same.

Two confused guys, their taste in choosing plays is similar, neither of them is very good.

"Okay, then Miss Liu, please go call your mother. Then I'm going out for dinner with Mani and Brother Jing tonight. Do you want to come?"

"Of course I'm going." Da Tiantian replied.

Liu Yifei also nodded. She also wanted to stay with Da Tiantian for a while longer and get acquainted with Wang Jing and Huo Wenxi.

after an hour.

Hotel box.

Zhou Mo and Wang Jing discussed the shooting details of "Little People".

He reminded: "The father of the protagonist in the play is also a super macho man, the kind who can shoot people at will. Brother Jing should try to find an actor with a great reputation, the kind that people can tell is very cool just by hearing his name, rather than an actor who is famous but not very good at action scenes."

Wang Jing smiled and said, "Brother, I know you have high requirements for the quality of the film, so don't worry, I, Fatty Wang, know what's going on. If it were a film by other investors, I would just shoot it casually and let them make money, but for your film, Director Zhou, I will definitely put in 120% of my effort.

When the results come out, if they are good, you should think of me more when you have movies in the future."

Although I already knew who Wang Jing was.

But after hearing this, Zhou Mo still felt emotional.

When it comes to doing business, Wang Jing has really prepared everything for you.

After chatting with Wang Jing, Zhou Mo discussed some details of the film cooperation with Huo Wenxi.

Liu Yifei had been discussing cosmetics with Da Tiantian when she suddenly heard Zhou Mo and Huo Wenxi talking about the agent's business.

Listened in for a while.

The main content is that Huo Wenxi communicated with Zhou Mo about some aspects of artist guidance from the perspective of an agent.

For example, there is a movie whose script is of average quality, but the character portrayal is good, which is worth a try for an artist.

Maybe in the future we can stir up some popularity for this bad movie with good actors.

For another example, some movies seem to have good investments, but in fact they are just scams. From investors to directors, they all set up the projects with the mentality of making a quick buck and running away. Artists should definitely not be allowed to get involved in such movies.

If you go there you will just get scolded.

Liu Yifei listened for a long time and was deeply shocked.

'So agents can do this?'

She glanced at Zhou Mo who was chatting with Huo Wenxi, and finally understood why Zhou Mo's attitude was so disdainful when he mentioned his team during the day.

Right now, based on the communication between Zhou Mo and Huo Wenxi, Liu Yifei believes that even if Zhou Mo does not have the talent of a director, he will surely become an excellent agent.

Turning around, I saw Da Tiantian was also listening.

And nodded from time to time.

Liu Yifei was a little surprised: "Tiantian, does Director Zhou often discuss the arrangements of actors with others like this?"

Da Tiantian thought about it.

"It's not that much actually. Zhou Mo just arranges these for me frequently."

Liu Yifei almost became autistic because of the casual remark "Versailles".

I originally thought that we were actually about the same, but I didn't expect that I would lose so badly.

After a moment, Liu Yifei came to her senses.

She calculated that her mother would probably never be able to reach the level of agents like Zhou Mo and Huo Wenxi in her lifetime.

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.

Instead of waiting for an opportunity, it would be better for me to take advantage of the opportunity of Zhou Mo and Huo Wenxi chatting to learn more about the relevant knowledge...

After a moment, Liu Yifei gave up.

too difficult.

With her IQ, she couldn't keep up with the speed of the discussion between the two people.

I looked at Da Tiantian again.

"Tiantian, can you keep up with them?"

“I can’t keep up.”

Da Tiantian said as if it was a matter of course, "So I haven't paid much attention to their speeches. Anyway, Zhou Mo will make arrangements for me afterwards."

Liu Yifei:......

What should I do if I feel even worse?

That night, news about Zhou Mo and his group's meeting spread on the Internet.

Of course, the content of the news is mainly about Da Tiantian and Liu Yifei.

Then there is Huo Wenxi.

As for Zhou Mo and Wang Jing, they were completely reduced to background figures.

It rarely appears in photos taken by paparazzi.

The next morning, Zhou Mo asked Da Tiantian to call Liu Yifei and Qin Lan, and the three of them sat together at a table to promote the new movie.

There is nothing wrong with Da Tiantian and Liu Yifei.

The two of them went to find Qin Lan, and the three of them took a group photo.

"'Chu and Han', please stay tuned."

Zhou Mo forwarded the updates of the three people and also made a recommendation from the backstage.

As the news spread, fans of the three expressed their expectations.

That afternoon, this news became a hot topic.

At the same time, another piece of news also topped the entertainment hot searches on Mile Station at about the same time.

"Shanhe Company's new film "Little People", starring Zhao Wenzhuo."

It was also news about a new movie, but once the news about Zhao Wenzhuo was released, it gained far more popularity than the meeting between Da Tiantian and the other girls.

For the majority of spectators, the actors' quarrels are obviously much more interesting than the sisterly love.

Netizens read the content of the message carefully.

The investors of "Little Man" are Shanhe and Yinghuang.

The director is Wang Jing.

Does this mean that in this war of words with Zhao Zhen, these two companies have responded positively to their views on the matter and sided with Zhao Wenzhuo?
Half an hour later, two new messages confirmed this speculation. Wang Jing forwarded Zhou Mo's message and added:
"I'm very happy to work with Zhao Wenzhuo @赵闻卓. Wenzhuo has always been a very good actor in my eyes. I hope this movie will not be regarded as a bad movie by everyone.

Huo Wenxi also updated his status:
“It is an honor to work with Sunward again and I believe we will achieve good results.”

In this small piece of land of Xiangcheng, Yinghuang and Wang Jing basically symbolize the top of the food chain in the entertainment industry.

The cooperation between the two parties is like a colossus.

With the release of news from both parties, Zhao Zhen’s conflict this time basically came to an end.

It would be rude to continue like this.

Zhao Wenzhuo also responded tactfully on the Internet.

"Thank you, directors. I will definitely perform well..."

As the dust settled, netizens gradually began to open up and started to settle accounts with the actors and stars who had previously taken sides.

"Didn't they say that no one would ask Zhao Wenzhuo to film a movie in the future? Is that it?"

"Where's the evidence? We've been calling for it for so many days, but you can't even provide a little evidence. Are you trying to fool the devil?"

……

In the crew of "Special Identity", Zhen Gongfu's face turned black.

Originally, he and Zhao Wenzhuo were competing against each other, and he was in an advantageous position, but it seemed as if the situation suddenly reversed overnight.

If you think carefully, all these changes are due to Zhou Mo's news.

Zhen Kung Fu suddenly hammered his palm.

He found that ever since Zhou Mo made his debut two years ago, he seemed to have always been restrained by Zhou Mo.

From "Ye 2" meeting "Love Is Not Blind", to "Guan Yunchang" versus "New World", to now "Special Identity" and "Little Man".

With Zhou Mo's rapid rise.

The two have gone from competing against each other in previous movies to now being ridiculed for just a project at Shanhe Company.

Despite this, he still didn't want to confront "Little Man" head-on.

"Let's stop the crew's promotion for the near future. Also, check to see if "Little Man" has said when it plans to be released." Zhen Kung Fu ordered.

After the assistant inquired, he came back with a reply.

"There is no news from Shanhe, but the Eagle King has given a plan that it should be within half a year."

Zhen Kung Fu nodded and had an idea in mind.

Since "Little Man" is scheduled to be released within half a year, then "Special Identity" will be scheduled for next year.

He didn't believe that he could still fight against Zhou Mo after hiding to this extent.

When I came to my senses, I found that the assistant was hesitant to speak.

"what happened?"

The assistant took out his phone and said, "Someone from the entertainment industry is talking about us online again."

"Who?" Zhen Kung Fu frowned.

He has already admitted defeat, why are there still people chasing and beating him?

"If it's a minor actor, I'll let the media know later..."

"Brother Chen Kai."

"Who?!" Zhen Kung Fu was shocked.

He has never provoked Brother Chen Kai.

Why would Brother Chen Kai speak up for this matter?

He glanced at the phone the assistant handed over.

"Brother Chen Kai talked about the controversy, saying that the incident was essentially cyber violence, and his film Searching will expose the harm caused by cyber violence to the audience."

……

Shanhe Company.

Zhou Mo is talking to Chen Hong on the phone.

"Sister Hong, you're too polite. It's mutually beneficial. Promoting 'Search' will also help increase the ratings of 'Victory'...

The meal is easy to talk about, and so is the promotional event. I will definitely go there when the time comes. Don’t worry, Sister Hong, we will help each other in the future…”

After hanging up the phone, Da Tiantian came over.

"Do you really want to help Director Chen promote "Search"?"

"Of course, this movie is still very good. The key is that it can be matched with Victory, which can be regarded as a mutual achievement."

"But don't you never take on movies that lose money at the box office?" Da Tiantian blinked and responded: "Are you optimistic about the box office of "Search"?"

Zhou Mo nodded.

As one of the few movies that has successfully made profits at the box office since his debut, "Search" allowed Kaizi Ge to prove one thing at this point in 2012.

Your Kaizi brother is still your Kaizi brother.

He can't fail to make good films.

He just wanted to make the movie in his mind.

Four days later, as Chen Hong began to vigorously promote "Search", the ratings of "Victory" also soared.

Finally, in mid-March.

Zhou Mo received his system reward.

[This optimization task has been completed]

[Optimization goal: Localization of "Victory is Justice"]

[Reward: Adaptation rights of a random science fiction work worldwide]

Zhou Mo took a look at the reward and felt a little curious.

Worldwide.

This is the first time I've seen this setting.

After filming "New World", he used the reward of "adaptation rights for an entertainment series" and obtained the adaptation rights for Jin Yong's series of works.

You don't have to spend any money, nor do you have to go and visit, and you can just read people's faces.

The contract was signed with just one phone call.

And this time the reward is obviously much larger in scope than the previous one.

Zhou Mo took advantage of the opportunity.

After a moment, a voice rang in my ears.

[Adapted work: "Understanding"]

Zhou Mo looked at the work in front of him and felt that it looked familiar.

He remembered the novel.

In the previous life, "The Enlightenment" was adapted into a very famous science fiction movie by a super director named Luc Besson.

"Lucy".
