Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 176: Triple Kill, Overwhelming

The fourth day of the release of "Chu and Han".

Zhou Mo and the crew interacted with the audience in the cinema.

He briefly glanced around at the crew members.

I found that many people actually have plans to promote more than one movie.

Chen Daoming is "1942", Qin Lan is "The Banquet"...

Huang Xiaoming hasn't started yet.

But the release dates of "Big Shanghai" and "The Guillotines" are next week.

Zhou Mo sighed to himself in his heart.

“Being overbearing may not be right, but it does feel good.”

Anyway, people in the industry are pretty sure about his personality, and any movie he stars in will definitely be promoted throughout the entire process.

Although he was not as angry as Xiao Gangcano, who turned hostile and scolded Deng Chao on the spot just because Deng Chao publicized his relationship with the Empress.

But if the actor runs away, he will basically be excluded from all Shanhe’s projects in the future.

It’s not like no one has ever said that he is willful.

but……

"I've worked so hard for so many years, what's wrong with being a little humane?"

Zhou Mo whispered something to Da Tiantian.

Just now, Da Tiantian revealed the situation to Zhou Mo in private.

Lu Tailang was deeply hurt because of Qin Lan's matter.

He contacted Qin Lan frequently during the past two nights, trying to get Qin Lan to return to the crew of "The Banquet" to promote the movie with him.

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows.

"How do you know Lu Tailang was on the phone with Qin Lan?"

"Sister Lan told me."

Zhou Mo nodded, and almost guessed what Qin Lan meant.

I guess she wanted to show her dedication to Zhou Mo through Da Tiantian as the middleman, hoping to get more care in the future.

Zhou Mo was very calm about this.

It's to the point where I'm neither disgusted nor touched.

For him, how much resources an ordinary actor can get from him depends on just two things.

Or, to make enough money to achieve a win-win situation.

Or, become his tool to complete system tasks.

How much resources Qin Lan can get from him in the future depends purely on her performance.

Thinking of this, he reminded Da Tiantian again: "Don't agree to give resources to others just because they complain to you. Do you hear me?"

Da Tiantian wrinkled her nose: "Of course I know, don't worry! Our company, even if we want to sell resources, we must sell them at a good price."

Back on stage.

The person being interviewed at this moment is Huang Xiaoming.

A fan of Huang Xiaoming said: "Brother Xiaoming, you know, I am actually very, very happy this time. I became your fan a long time ago, I think it was when I watched "The Emperor of Han Dynasty"."

Huang Xiaoming put his hands together and spoke in a very sincere tone.

"Thank you to this fan, thank you very much!"

The fan continued, "I would like to ask what you thought when you accepted the role of Zhang Han. After all, in many film and television dramas, the role of Zhang Han is actually a negative character. So when you came into contact with this role, did you hesitate?"

Huang Xiaoming said without hesitation: "Not at all. I have always wanted to work with Director Zhou, especially for a production of the level of "Chu Han".

So, when Director Zhou agreed to let me act in "Chu and Han", I had already made up my mind that no matter what role Director Zhou asked me to play, I would do my best.

Moreover, when I saw that Zhang Han's role in Chu and Han was different from the past, he was very complex and even had a bit of tragic color, I became more certain of my original choice. "

When the fans heard this, they suddenly asked, "Brother Xiaoming, is this why you have been starring in so many bad movies for so many years?"

Huang Xiaoming: ...

He couldn't answer this question.

Although everyone in the entertainment industry knows that Huang Xiaoming knows how to behave, as long as he can make friends with directors, producers, and even company bosses, he will act in bad movies.

Although with his current capital structure, making money from fans is already the smallest part.

But as an actor, Huang Xiaoming certainly wants to maintain his image in front of his fans.

Zhou Mo saw Huang Xiaoming's embarrassed expression and laughed.

The laughter attracted everyone's attention.

When everyone around looked over, Zhou Mo picked up the microphone and said, "Dear fan of Brother Xiaoming, I have discussed this issue with Brother Xiaoming before. For an actor like Brother Xiaoming, he should try more when he is young so that he can hone his skills and acting skills.

Of course, I also understand what you fans are thinking. You definitely want to see your idols star in more good dramas. So I can give you a suggestion. From now on, you can watch any movie or script that Brother Xiaoming stars in from our company with confidence.

As for the rest, you decide for yourselves.”

Huang Xiaoming was shocked when he heard this.

did not expect.

Did Director Zhou actually start planning the promotion of "Seattle" at this time?

Such foresight.

Giving Zhou Mo a look of gratitude, Huang Xiaoming made up his mind that he would spend more money when promoting "Seattle" in the future.

Picking up the microphone, he said, "My fan, I admit that I have made many mistakes in choosing scripts and roles in the past, but I want your assurance that I will pay more attention to this aspect in the future and provide more high-quality content for fans."

Zhou Mo curled his lips.

If Huang Xiaoming wants to win back his fans, he might as well break up with Dabaobei instead of firing anti-aircraft guns here.

Haven’t you seen that after these two people divorced in the previous life, the leader’s popularity among the public suddenly increased a lot?

This shows how the entire market reacts to Big Baby.

After the roadshow.

Huang Xiaoming came over to thank him.

"Director Zhou, thanks for helping me out just now. If you have any requests later, just tell me. I'll be there whenever you call."

Zhou Mo waved his hand.

"Brother Xiaoming, if you really want to thank me, during the period until Seattle is released, Shaochu can participate in some activities that will affect your popularity with the audience. After that, I will not care about it anymore. It's up to you."

Zhou Mo has specially planned the release date of "Seattle".

In his previous life, in May of next year, Huang Xiaoming will usher in a brief period of explosive growth in his career.

The two dramas "The Partner" and "The Legend of Yue Fei" directly made his reputation take a leap forward.

In this life, coupled with the bonus of "Chu and Han", it is enough for Huang Xiaoming to take on the responsibility of supporting the box office when "Seattle" is released.

The only prerequisite is that he doesn't do anything weird during this period and ruin his reputation. And Zhou Mo's meaning is actually very clear.

Huang Xiaoming’s activities during this period have actually been almost confirmed.

There are basically no domineering or greasy characters.

So, the only thing that could affect his popularity with the audience is his extremely troublesome girlfriend.

Huang Xiaoming also reacted.

Think for a moment.

Nod.

"Don't worry, Director Zhou. I really need to adjust myself recently and I won't be attending any events."

Zhou Mo patted his shoulder with satisfaction.

……

After Huang Xiaoming left.

Da Tiantian came over.

"What did you say to Brother Xiaoming just now? Why does he seem to be in a bad mood?"

Zhou Mo explained the reason.

Da Tiantian was a little puzzled: "Has Tianbao ever offended you? Why do I feel like you have never been very fond of her?"

"It's not that I don't have a cold, it's just that I hate it." Zhou Mo didn't explain much.

There's no need to bring up things that didn't happen.

He casually asked, "Do you remember Ms. Deng, the producer of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan?"

Da Tiantian said, "Of course, you didn't ask me to stay away from her. Now it seems that you were right. That Ms. Deng is really calculating."

"That Tianbao is the same person, even more of a criminal than Ms. Deng. After all, the latter can only use you, while the former is like a dog-skin plaster."

"Ah? So that's it." Da Tiantian frowned slightly.

She had been added by Dabaobei before.

It seems that the follow-up has been put on hold.

Seeing that Da Tiantian had taken his words to heart, Zhou Mo said no more.

"You came here in such a hurry just now, what's the matter?"

"During our roadshow this afternoon, Little Cannon sent a message."

Da Tiantian found out the news.

Zhou Mo read it carefully and found out what happened.

Ever since the publicity for "Chu and Han" spread, many directors have been criticized for being a "historical blockbuster".

Originally, this public opinion was mainly directed at Rikutaro.

But with Rikutaro falling to the ground.

This wave of public opinion began to impact the older generation of great directors.

So, among all the big directors, Xiao Gangpao was the first one who couldn't sit still.

Come out and speak up.

However, he did not directly attack Zhou Mo's remarks. Instead, he said in the interview: "There is no such thing as being generous or petty. Are small figures not part of history? Each of us is a small figure living in history. It is small figures like us who can more directly reflect the characteristics of the times."

Obviously, he also felt Zhou Mo's methods.

Although I'm still not afraid, there's no need to continue provoking him at this critical juncture.

At most, he would say a few words, neither light nor heavy, which sounded like a rebuttal or a sarcastic remark.

However, in Zhou Mo's opinion, this sentence is more about saving the reputation of "1942".

After all, the male protagonist of "1942" is a minor character played by Zhang Guoli.

Huayi.

Xiao Gangpao looked at the comments from netizens and felt helpless.

He had no intention of continuing to speak, he just hoped that "1942" would be successfully released.

The problem is that he thought so, but Zhou Mo didn't give him a chance.

"Chu and Han" is really fierce.

From more than 70 million on the first day to 90 million now.

After four days of release, the box office has not decreased but increased instead.

The box office for the entire market is limited. If "Chu and Han" goes up, the prices of others will go down.

According to original estimates, "3.5" would have a box office of about million yuan.

It’s a loss, for sure.

But at least 70% to 80% of the costs can be recovered.

But if the box office of "Chu and Han" continues to rise, let alone 350 million, it won't even be able to sustain 300 million.

Therefore, he could only stand up and stir up trouble to win the box office for "1942".

Of course, according to Little Cannon's personality, since he has offended someone, there is no need to be polite anymore.

He even had a follow-up article ready.

As soon as Zhou Mo started to refute him, he would take out a bunch of copywriting and start fighting.

Anyway, he is determined to use the bundling sales strategy.

Unfortunately.

All the operations were in vain.

Zhou Mo ignored him at all.

The next day.

Once the single-day box office of all movies is announced.

"Chu and Han" grossed 77 million.

"1942" grossed 19 million.

A four-fold difference.

Zhou Mo's fans started partying again.

Before Zhou Mo could respond, a fan directly photoshopped the picture and posted it on Zhou Mo's personal account.

It also looks like a golden skull.

A line of text is attached below.

"Three kills, crushing everything in its path."
