Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 140 Filming, Good Music
"Han Xin, you who betrayed your master, today is the day you die."

On both sides of the Wei River, Long Ju and Han Xin's armies faced off.

Long Ju sent someone to call out to Han Xin, mocking him as a traitor.

As Xiang Yu's top general, Long Qie was powerful and arrogant.

Ever since he followed Xiang Yu (actually he followed Xiang Liang first), he has been invincible in every battle. Except for his monarch Xiang Yu, there is no one in the world that he takes seriously.

This was also true when facing Han Xin, who had defeated Zhang Han two years ago and whose fame spread throughout the world.

So what if we defeated Zhang Han?

He did the same thing.

And earlier than Han Xin!
Therefore, ever since Long Ju received Xiang Yu's order to fight Han Xin, Long Ju's mentality has been very relaxed.

He did not follow the advice of his friendly army Tian Guang to dig deep trenches and build high fortifications to defend instead of attack. Instead, he was impatient for success and deployed his chariots and horses to fight a decisive battle with Han Xin without even preparing his armaments.

"General Long, please think twice. Our army is not yet fully prepared..." King Tian Guang of Qi tried to persuade Long Ju.

Unfortunately, Long Qie didn't listen at all.

He just waved his flag.

"King Qi is worrying too much. Han Xin is just a mere figure. He will definitely be defeated!"

In fact, Long Qie also had his own concerns.

Now he can no longer afford to delay.

Ever since the Battle of Xingyang a year ago, when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu negotiated peace, a rumor has spread among the Chu army:

Several main generals under Xiang Yu had made many contributions but were not crowned kings, so the generals all wanted to ally with Han to fight against Chu and divide its land.

Since Xiang Yu heard the rumor, he just laughed it off.

In fact, Long Ju could clearly feel that Xiang Yu's contact with them had become much closer, and there was even a sense of surveillance.

Therefore, Long Ju urgently needed a victory against the Han army to show his loyalty to his lord Xiang Yu.

The war is about to start.

Unlike Han Xin, who is a "coward", Long Ju is better at leading the troops in battle.

So, the moment the marching horn sounded.

Long Ju took the lead and rushed into Han Xin's army with his personal soldiers. He chopped melons and vegetables with ease, like a god of war.

On Han Xin's side, there was chaos, and countless soldiers were killed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Long Ju gained confidence.

Command the army to continue advancing.

He was unstoppable throughout the journey and there was no enemy that could match him.

Gradually, Long Qie felt something was wrong.

He noticed that although Han Xin's army seemed to have been defeated by him, the enemy's retreat was not at all chaotic but rather orderly.

This is a feigned defeat!

Long Qie was shocked.

He ordered his troops to cross the river quickly, as if to warn his soldiers.

But Han Xin didn't give him a chance.

Boom.

A shocking sound was heard, and the rushing river rushed towards Long Qie's army like a dark evil dragon.

In just a moment, Long Qie's army suffered heavy losses.

Afterwards, Han Xin commanded his troops to intercept and kill fiercely.

The Chu army suffered countless casualties and fled in all directions.

On the bank of the Wei River, Long Qie looked at Han Xin who was leading his troops and felt furious.

He knew that he no longer had any chance of turning the situation around.

but……

"kill!"

"kill!"

As the two teams, one larger and one smaller, were fighting each other, Long Ju was killed by an unknown soldier with a single blow.

After a while.

"General, Long Qie's head!"

"reward!"

Han Xin looked at the bloody scene in front of him and nodded.

The process of revenge is two out of three.

Next, all that remains is the final goal.

Xiang Yu.

……

"Very good, this one passes!"

Zhou Mo asked people to take the actors off the props and reminded them to be careful.

He picked up a few bottles of water and threw them to Feng Shaofeng who was walking towards him.

"Brother Feng, you acted very well."

Feng Shaofeng took the water, unscrewed the bottle cap, and drank half of the bottle in one breath before he took a breath.

"Director Zhou, I performed OK, didn't I?"

Before Zhou Mo could speak, Ren Zhonglun, who had been waiting beside him, spoke first: "Very good, Shaofeng, your acting skills have really improved a lot in recent time."

One of the reasons why he came to the "Chu and Han" crew today was to see Feng Shaofeng.

If for no other reason than to shift the burden.

Previously, Ren Zhonglun had stuffed a few actors from the Shanghai circle into the crew of "Chu and Han", but Zhou Mo later turned the tables on him and asked him to provide a few more actors and also to make great efforts to promote "Chu and Han".

After a series of actions, Ren Zhonglun found that not only did he not make much money, but he had to spend a lot of money on publicity.

This time, Ren Zhonglun felt that he had suffered a great loss.

After careful consideration, he felt that the cause of this incident was still because he wanted a role for Feng Shaofeng.

Therefore, his only purpose of coming this time was to care more about Feng Shaofeng and ask for some financial support from his father.

This is called grafting.

"Director Zhou, Shaofeng has always been a very hard-working actor. I hope you can consider him when filming in the future for my sake." Ren Zhonglun coughed twice in a pretentious manner.

Zhou Mo glanced at Ren Zhonglun and said, "Brother Feng's acting is pretty good. When the filming of Chu and Han is finished, Brother Feng can contact my assistant to see if there is any chance for us to work together again."

He personally has no opinion about Feng Shaofeng.

He is a second-generation rich man, has money, good looks, and his acting skills are not too bad. He has been in the industry for so many years and has never said anything that breaks the bottom line.

There's nothing wrong with his personality, and he even has good family education.

The only problem is that he is a little bit romantic. Rumor has it that he has had in-depth interactions with many female stars in the circle.

But in the entertainment industry, there are so many people who do this kind of thing.

Feng Shaofeng is not missing either.

For Zhou Mo, as long as Feng Shaofeng is not on the blacklist, there is nothing wrong with cooperation.

If these stars who have their own resources are used in the right place, the crew can save a lot of money.

On the other side, Feng Shaofeng heard the two people's questions and answers, and said excitedly on the spot: "Thank you Uncle Ren, thank you Director Zhou, I will definitely continue to work hard next time."

Three minutes later, Ren Zhonglun looked at Feng Shaofeng's departing figure and felt a little emotional.

"What a simple child..."

Zhou Mo complained: "You are already over 30, Mr. Ren, that's enough."

Ren Zhonglun glanced at Zhou Mo and said something.

"Some time ago, I met Shaofeng's father. His father said he was willing to buy the costumes for Chu and Han at a high price. As he is a giant in the textile industry, he considered it as supporting his son's filming."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mo immediately said seriously: "Mr. Ren, I think you are right. Brother Feng is the most innocent boy I have ever seen in my life. His eyes are like the stars in the sky..."

Ren Zhonglun couldn't stand it anymore: "Director Zhou, this is too disgusting, stop talking."

Zhou Mo spread his hands: "Then give me the contact information of Feng Shaofeng's father."

Ren Zhonglun raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, Director Zhou doesn't trust me to close the deal?"

Zhou Mo shook his head.

"No, I have several other batches of clothing that I need to sell. I'll see if Feng Shaofeng's father will buy them."

Ren Zhonglun laughed: "Director Zhou, you are too... The point is that Shaofeng hasn't appeared in any of your other movies, how are you going to sell it?"

Houmo said seriously, "He didn't appear in the film before, but he will appear in it next time. I have decided that Feng Shaofeng will appear in every one of my films in the next few years, even if it is just a supporting role."

Ren Zhonglun took a deep breath.

"Director Zhou, you are really cruel."

"Mr. Ren, you're too polite. You don't know that my family was poor when I was a child, so..."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop, let's get down to business."

Ren Zhonglun interrupted Zhou Mo's spellcasting and said, "I have asked someone to go through the process of the idea you proposed a while ago, about finding someone to sing and start a singing variety show. I will send the document to you later. Please take a look at it."

"no problem."

Zhou Mo nodded.

As early as November last year, when "Victory is Justice" was about to be completed, Zhou Mo contacted Ren Zhonglun and proposed to start a variety show such as "The Voice of China" or "Sing Your Song".

To some extent, 2012 can be regarded as the year when variety shows began to rise.

Starting from this year, "The Voice of China", "Where Are We Going, Dad?", "Running Man", and various self-made, imported, and adapted variety shows will be rapidly introduced into the domestic market.

Then it gained quite a lot of attention.

As one of the companies under Zhou Mo's name, Shanhe Company must develop comprehensively and naturally cannot do without developing the blue ocean of variety shows.

Of course, at this stage, if you want to develop a phenomenal variety show, you will definitely need the support of local satellite TV stations.

It just so happens that Ren Zhonglun has been considering developing Tomato Channel since he took office.

The two hit it off.

Zhou Mo provided ideas.

Shanhe Company participated in the production.

Ren Zhonglun provided logistics.

"Once Director Zhou has read the contract, we can start filming."

Ren Zhonglun became excited when he thought of the "variety show heyday" that Zhou Mo had described to him before.

Once "Good Music" was successful, Tomato TV would truly take off in his hands.

Zhou Mo was not surprised by Ren Zhonglun's arrangement.

Compared to the one- or two-year production cycle of film and television dramas, variety shows are undoubtedly much faster from filming to broadcasting.

In addition, variety shows have another biggest advantage.

The latter can be filmed and broadcast at the same time.

This is also one of the main reasons why variety shows became so popular in the past life.

The production difficulty is low, the cost is low, and the payback period is short.

It's also easy to flatter people.

Zhou Mo suddenly remembered something.

“By the way, there is one aspect of this kind of song variety show that can easily go wrong, and that is the copyright of the songs, not to mention that ‘Sing My Song’ focuses on original works.

Therefore, Mr. Ren needs to pay more attention to this aspect, to avoid disputes in the future, which will have a huge impact on the life of the program. "

Ren Zhonglun noticed that Zhou Mo spoke seriously and he also took it seriously.

"I'll be watching later."

After the two of them finished talking about business, Ren Zhonglun went around and met and chatted with a few actors.

Zhou Mo returned to the camera and observed the flaws in the shooting process.

Although he had already acquired the skills to shoot large scenes from the system, and after one or two years of training, his skill proficiency had also improved a lot.

But it is better to be cautious when facing this level of shooting.

After all, war scenes have always been a big spender in the filming process.

Every error avoided can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.
