Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 166 Losing Money Fat Ice TV Series

Boss Yang was well prepared.

When Zhou Mo brought the crew members to the hotel, Boss Yang was already waiting at the door with his men.

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries and then went to the hotel.

The second floor of the hotel.

Boss Yang glanced at Da Tiantian who was eating cake, and did not invite her to "watch the football game" as he did before.

After Zhou Mo ate a little, they got to the point.

"Director Zhou, I heard Cheng Long say a while ago that you are planning to shoot a new version of "Police Story"? "

Zhou Mo nodded.

"almost."

Boss Yang raised his glass and said, "Before, when we were filming Chu and Han, President Han took the initiative and directly took all the shares offered by Zhou Mo. This time I took action in advance. I guess Director Zhou's investment share for Police Story should not have been released yet."

"Indeed, I haven't. But the profits from filming New Police Story weren't very good. Is Boss Yang still willing to trust me this time?"

"Trust, why not trust?"

Boss Yang said with a smile: "Movie making is all about dreaming and shooting arrows. Director Zhou, don't forget that I, Old Yang, even invested in The Banquet."

Initially, the words sounded quite joyful, but by the end, it felt like Boss Yang was about to cry.

Although "The King's Banquet" has not been released yet, just by looking at Rikutaro's noisy appearance, the industry has more or less realized the level of this movie.

Words are not enough to describe the quality of this movie.

Da Tiantian couldn't help choking as she listened to Boss Yang's complaints.

Facing everyone's gaze, Da Tiantian explained dryly.

"Sorry, I just thought of something happy..."

Boss Yang waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. In comparison, Miss Jing's vision was much better than mine. She had set her eyes on Director Zhou from the beginning."

Da Tiantian and Zhou Mo looked at each other, with the corners of their mouths slightly raised.

Zhou Mo: "Since Boss Yang is willing to trust me, our company will estimate the investment amount and contact Mr. Huo immediately."

This played an important role in the fact that "New Police Story" was able to be released simultaneously in eight regions at one time.

This time, we are putting old wine in new bottles, and giving up part of the investment so that people can do the work.

"No problem. Also, I wonder if Director Zhou is interested in using actors from Hong Kong this time. When we were filming "Little People" before, there were many actors who unfortunately didn't get to work with Director Zhou..." Boss Yang habitually recommended actors: "Especially the doctor. He has mentioned it to me many times. I hope Director Zhou can ask him to film again."

Zhou Mo thought for a moment and chose to agree.

"Okay, Boss Yang, give me a list when the time comes."

He is planning to start another business——

Actors are in the money-losing business.

The content is roughly about selecting a group of actors who have failed in their careers, and having them play some roles in the movie that seem to have a lot of plot but are actually insignificant to the main storyline.

Before filming, sign a contract with them with a series of additional terms.

When these people get into trouble in the future, they will be made to pay compensation until they lose everything.

And the release of the movie will not be affected by the existence of these people.

Anyway, they are all insignificant characters, so I can just delete them later.

……

Iron Man 3 to select actors in China

Two supporting roles.

One male and one female.

The entire Chinese film industry is in a party.

"The Avengers", which was released in the first half of this year, has allowed the world to witness the combat power of superhero movies.

So, with the opportunity right in front of us, no one would want to take part.

Especially female celebrities.

It is a common practice for Hollywood to give foreign actresses more plots than male actors.

Therefore, compared to a group of middle-aged male actors who just showed interest, the group of female actors is much more "crazy".

Buy articles and contact resources.

There is an insane amount of action.

Even some of the 85 flowers were quietly contacting Zhou Mo to ask if he knew the specific situation.

In one afternoon, Zhou Mo answered all the calls from the beauties in "Legend of Sword and Fairy III".

Anyone who asks about "Iron Man 3" will use the set of Bian Que's three-combination technique.

"I haven't asked, I don't know, and I don't recommend it, because it's not worth it, and you can't compete with those big girls..."

Among them, Liu Shishi and Tang Yan were relatively calm after hearing the answer.

They were just dreaming, and after being woken up by Zhou Mo's stick, they fell to the ground naturally.

However, Da Mi's tone indicated that she was not giving up and seemed eager to try.

"Anyone with a dream is great, and only hard work can lead to success!"

"Then come on, Sister Mi. Just don't cry when you lose later."

"Then it's settled, Director Zhou. If I really start crying, I hope you can lend me a gentle shoulder."

Da Mimi said casually.

Zhou Mo didn't take it seriously.

As for Da Mi, her emotional value is always at its maximum, but she will lose if she takes it seriously.

Zhou Mo always believed in eating the sugar-coated food and firing back.

Before Da Mimi can make money for him, he is immune to all other tricks.

I hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

He can understand the thoughts of these female stars.

Hollywood.

Who doesn't want to go.

Not to mention actresses, even big directors are not immune to this.

Just a few days ago, the Film Bureau sent the films that will compete for the Best Foreign Language Film at next year's Oscars. For this one spot, the directors are in a state of chaos.

The little cannon jumped the hardest.

For the sake of "1942", he really tried his best this time.

Not only did they invite an Oscar winner to play a supporting role in the movie, but after June, they even dared to promote the brand online under the name "x Shu Bao".

It’s a pity that after working on it for several months, I still lost to Kaizi Ge’s “Search” in the end.

Xiao Gangpao was so angry that he made sarcastic remarks about certain leaders on Weibo.

If the director is like this, let alone the actors.

Before Zhou Mo could even take a sip of water.

The phone rang again.

Zhou Mo took a look and got some hints.

"Fat Ice?"

What is she calling for?
Zhou Mo felt a little strange.

Even if it was for "Iron Man 3", Fan Qiaoqiao shouldn't have come after him.

With her own resources, she should have figured out what was going on long ago.

Line connected.

After a while.

Zhou Mo figured out the reason.

Fat Bing actually approached him for the casting of "Iron Man 3".

But I don't think he can help.

But it’s for the sake of big sweetness.

"Do you want to ask if Tiantian will participate in this casting?"

"That's right, Director Zhou. I'm not the only one who has this question. In fact, all of us have this question. The opportunity for Iron Man 3 is rare. If Miss Jing competes, other actresses will have no chance at all."

"Don't worry, Tiantian won't participate." Zhou Mo gave a definite answer directly.

In "Iron Man 3", except for Pepper Potts, all other female supporting characters had very few roles.

And it's not very outstanding.

"Then I'm relieved. I have to thank Miss Jing for showing mercy this time. Director Zhou, please help me contact Miss Jing. I hope she can come to the premiere of Dangerous Liaisons at the end of the month."

She is truly the female version of Huang Xiaoming, her words are so pleasant to the ears.

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will inform her later. Besides, Tiantian also asked me to invite Fan Ye to the premiere of When a Man Falls in Love. Fan Ye should also give her face."

"Fan Ye is just a nickname given by netizens as a joke. Director Zhou can just call me Qiao Qiao."

Fan Qiaoqiao joked: "When the two movies are put together, I hope Director Zhou will show some mercy."

Every time a Shanhe Company releases a movie, they usually choose a sacrifice.

All those who were chosen failed.

This is already a consensus in the industry.

Fan Qiaoqiao doesn't want his movie to be the unlucky one.

Moreover, she also hoped that Zhou Mo would choose "Dangerous Liaisons" as the unlucky guy.

As for the reason, everyone who knows will understand.

When Zhou Mo heard this, he suddenly remembered a script he had written some time ago.

Calculate the time.

It's almost there.

"No problem, but how are you going to thank me, Mr. Fan?"

Fan Qiaoqiao raised his eyebrows.

Why does this sound so wrong?

She asked tentatively, "How does Director Zhou want me to thank you?"

"Our company is planning to launch a TV series next year, and the female lead we are targeting is a big star..."

Fan Qiaoqiao raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was overthinking.

Random eyes light up.

"Is that Director Zhou?"

"I only provide the script, and then I will ask another director to shoot it."

Fan Qiaoqiao was lost for a moment, but immediately recovered his composure.

She is not the kind of actress who only works in movies.

For her, as long as it is beneficial to her career, it doesn't matter whether it is a TV series or a movie.

The main goal is to welcome everyone who comes.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many low-scoring works.

"Then can I ask what kind of TV series Director Zhou is talking about?"

"Love, romance, fantasy, comedy, the name is "My Love from the Star." Zhou Mo briefly introduced the plot idea.

Fan Qiaoqiao was still hesitant at first, but as Zhou Mo continued to tell the story, he was soon immersed in it.

With her vision, it’s certain that this drama has the potential to be a huge hit.

"No problem. I'll take this role. Director Zhou, please contact me when you come to Yanjing. I'll go to your company to sign the contract."

"Ouch." Zhou Mo snapped his fingers.

Hang up.

Zhou Mo smiled to Da Tiantian beside him and said, "Look at our Princess Tian's momentum. Now even the big actresses have to call in advance to find out the news."

Da Tiantian turned her little head and faced Zhou Mo with her butt.

"Please don't laugh at me. I admit that I used to have a strong filter for Hollywood, but am I not gradually becoming de-mystified now?"

She thought for a moment and said, "But are you sure that in Iron Man 3, our supporting roles will have very few scenes? Logically speaking, given the case of Resident Evil 5, our roles shouldn't be too few."
