Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 164: A Call from the Homeroom Teacher and Seattle

The crew of "Lucy".

Shooting daily life.

Da Tiantian finished the normal shooting.

He picked up a pistol, hooked the trigger with his index finger, and shook it back and forth in circles.

Zhou Mo reminded her not to fire accidentally.

"Don't worry, this thing is just a model, the trigger is locked."

In the room, Da Tiantian lay down behind Zhou Mo, and the little panda squeezed Zhou Mo's sadness.

Zhou Mo twisted his body subconsciously, then regained his composure.

Da Tiantian's eyes flashed coldly.

"Mr. Zhou, what do you mean?"

"It's a bit uncomfortable..."

Da Tiantian felt a surge of anger rising up.

I have so much to say to give you benefits.

She stretched out her two slender thighs, clamped Zhou Mo's waist, and grabbed one of his arms.

Then, bend it back.

"Look at me armbaring!"

"Oh my god." Zhou Mo looked at Da Tiantian who was half hanging on him and laughed out loud: "You learned this cross armbar from the succubus, right?"

He casually threw Da Tiantian on the bed.

Going back, I continued editing the finished film of "Chu and Han".

Da Tiantian saw that he was actually working, so she stopped being crazy.

Sitting next to Zhou Mo, she played with her hair using her index finger.

When he was free, he took the opportunity to ask, "Zhou Mo, are you sure that "When a Man Falls in Love" will be released on November 11?"

Zhou Mo thought she was afraid that she would not have enough time because of the filming of "Lucy".

He consoled her, "Don't worry, we've already finished filming more than half of Lucy, and it will only get faster and faster. After all, there are a lot of special effects, so we'll definitely make it in time."

Da Tiantian shook her head: "I'm not worried about that."

"what is that?"

"At the end of September, both Zhang Ziyi and Fan Qiaoqiao will have movies released, and they are both romance films. I think they will be fighting fiercely. If I add them in then..."

"So that's what you meant."

Zhou Mo smiled: "Don't worry, they are both big flowers. Big flowers will not take the initiative to attack you, a small flower. That is called lowering your status. Besides, they dare not do it. They both owe me a favor."

Da Tiantian raised her eyebrows.

"I owe you a favor. When?"

"During the filming of Dangerous Liaisons and The Lion Roars 2, didn't they have mainland celebrities playing supporting roles for female stars over there? I said a few words for them online."

Previously, when Zhang Ziyi was filming "Dangerous Liaisons", she found herself having to give way to the plot for Zhang Baizhi. She sat on the set and did not film, and despite the pressure from the entire crew, she asked the director to give her more scenes.

After the news came out, many people inside and outside the circle condemned Zhang Ziyi for being a big shot.

"As expected of someone who has returned from Hollywood, he has a bad temper."

However, this time Zhou Mo did not follow the crowd. Instead, he supported Zhang Ziyi.

Although Zhang Ziyi didn't have a good reputation, Zhou Mo didn't like her very much.

But this is not the reason why Zhang Ziyi should give way to Zhang Baizhi.

Especially when she had agreed to play the female lead, but then changed her mind.

This was also the only time Zhou Mo helped her.

At that time, Zhang Ziyi contacted Zhou Mo to express her gratitude and suggested that they might work together in the future.

Zhou Mo has no plans to work with Zhang Ziyi. Even if he wants to find a big star to make a movie, he will not choose her.

After all, Master Zhou is still in line in front.

But Zhou Mo did not reject Zhang Ziyi's kindness.

Because in order to thank Zhou Mo, she specially brought someone to accompany her——

Little Sa.

Zhou Mo can ignore Zhang Ziyi's invitation, but he must give face to Xiao Sa.

This person is one of the very important hosts in his future variety show plans.

Strong ability, good character, and adaptability.

As for Pang Bing, the reason is similar to that of Zhang Ziyi.

It was also during the promotion of "The Lion Roars 2" that he was used as a promotional tool, and it was said that he was to play a supporting role to the heroine.

With Pang Bing's personality, he tore it back on the spot.

Zhou Mo also helped.

This is due to the need to help mainland actors speak up, and also because the distribution company of "The Lion Roars 2" is Bona.

Interestingly, the heroine of “The Lion Roars 2” is also Zhang Baizhi.

Da Tiantian suddenly realized, and then said with great emotion:
"Zhou Mo, you spoke up for them in the first half of the year, I didn't expect you to have considered this for me.

Zhou Mo is very optimistic about Da Tiantian's habit of imagining.

He coughed lightly and said, "Of course. After all, I didn't have time to accompany them during the filming of When a Man Falls in Love. I will definitely have to make up for it later."

Da Tiantian lowered her head and kissed Zhou Mo on the face.

"It's your reward."

Zhou Mo touched his cheek, looking as if he was still unsatisfied.

"That's it?"

Da Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me."

After that, he walked into the locker room.

"Maybe he went to change his clothes."

Just when Zhou Mo started to daydream, he saw Da Tiantian walking out leisurely.

Still dressed the same as before.

The only difference is that there is an extra key in my hand.

"what is this?"

"House keys."

Da Tiantian casually said an address: "Didn't you say before that it was inconvenient to contact me in Yanjing? It just so happens that I bought a house some time ago, and it's near my home. When we return to Yanjing, we can just go through the formalities." Zhou Mo looked at the key in his hand with a slightly dazed look.

I don’t know whether to be excited or disappointed.

Logically speaking, one should be happy if a house costs tens of millions.

But he originally thought he could at least get to first base today...

……

Filming continues.

When the heroine woke up, she found herself in a hospital at the airport.

Facing the police leading the team, the heroine waved her hand and all the police lost consciousness.

Pistols were scattered all over the floor.

The speed of the body's evolution was beyond the heroine's imagination, and the "colleague" information that the police had brought was no longer useful at this moment.

In just a few hours, the heroine has evolved to the point where she can observe electrical pulses directly in the air.

Found the target.

The heroine immediately drove to the hospital.

At this moment, her three "colleagues" were queuing up in the hospital to remove the medicines from their stomachs.

In addition, the heroine also observed that the previous gang members had already arrived at the hospital and were ready to go directly to get the medicine after the operation.

time is tight.

She had to race against time.

next second.

boom--

The roar of cars sounded.

……

The time came to the beginning of September.

Zhou Mo received a call from his class teacher.

"In June, you will graduate from graduate school. The school asked me to contact you to see when you are free to come back. There are many good talents in the school. As a great director, you can give them some guidance."

On the phone, the head teacher's voice was slightly sarcastic.

Of course, this ridicule was not directed at Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Teacher, I was just delayed for the final exam last semester. Why are you so angry with me?"

"You still know you should come back for the exam." The head teacher complained, and then explained: "I'm not talking to you, there are really more and more bad things in school now, and I feel like I can't keep up with the times."

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows: "Hey, which Monkey King has made such a fuss again that it makes you so angry?"

"It's because of those people who said you can't make science fiction films that I'm so pissed off. A bunch of freeloaders who occupy the toilet but don't do anything but just spew shit here..."

Zhou Mo knew that this was the class teacher standing up for him again, and he also knew that in the previous turmoil, the class teacher was the one who most clearly supported him.

I was touched in my heart, but I said, "Teacher, there's no need to be angry. I've already memorized the house numbers of these people. I'll go smash their windows later."

When the head teacher heard this, he almost couldn't breathe.

"You are a big director after all. Don't be so careless all the time. It will make people look down on you. Besides, you are still young and should be more stable..."

Zhou Mo actually didn't quite agree with what his head teacher said.

It is because we are young that we should be more out of touch.

The excuse of "youthful vigor" is not applicable to all age groups.

Of course, there is no need to tell these things to the class teacher.

Each generation has its own way of living.

Zhou Mo changed the subject and said, "Teacher, there shouldn't be only one reason why you called me this time."

"A teacher in our school is preparing a movie. After I heard about it, I recommended you to her."

Movie?

"Which teacher?"

"Xue Xiaolu."

Zhou Mo naturally knew this teacher.

Professor, screenwriter, and director at Beijing Film Academy.

His most famous work at present is "Don't Talk to Strangers".

He responded: "Seattle?"

Head teacher: “Do you know?”

"Well, I heard the news some time ago. Is Mr. Xue looking for investment?"

"Yes, she has already written the script. The next step is to find actors and prepare the crew. I remember you told me some time ago that your company was looking for a script, so I recommended you to him. How about it, is it okay?"

Zhou Mo nodded.

"Of course it's no problem."

According to my memory from my previous life, until 20 years ago, Xue Xiaolu could be said to be the number one female director in the country in terms of single-film box office.

He can also be said to be the first director of romance films.

The two "Seattle" movies directly grossed 1.3 billion at the box office, establishing her unshakable position in the film industry.

Although the plot does tend to be feminine.

But this is a script written by others themselves.

Isn't it normal for a script written by a female director to have a somewhat feminine perspective?
This is much better than taking a remake script and saying that only xx can make a movie that represents xx.

right.

"Teacher, I wonder if Teacher Xue is in a hurry? If so, I can take some time to go back to Yanjing in the next two days."

The head teacher smiled and said, "No need. Xiaolu happens to be attending a meeting in Xiangcheng these two days. I will give her your contact information directly, and then you two can communicate face to face, saving you the trouble of running back and forth."

"no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Da Tiantian came over.

"Teacher Xue is going to make a movie?"

Naturally, she also knew Xue Xiaolu.

Zhou Mo glanced at her and said, "Why, are you moved again?"

Da Tiantian shook her head: "I've made enough romance movies."
