Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 180 5 Kills, Crazy Slaughter

Chapter 180 Pentakill, Crazy Slaughter

Billion.

Yu Dong heard this number.

Feeling a little dazed.

In fact, he has a relatively secret chat group.

The members are all giants in the film and television industry.

Including the big and small Wangs of Huayi, the glamorous Wang Changtian, Wanda, Xingmei...

And during this period of time, in this chat group.

"One billion".

It has become a tight ring around the heads of all the bosses.

Whoever touches it is doomed.

So, when Yu Dong heard Du Qifeng say "one billion", he objected without even thinking about it.

"No, the 1 billion target is too dangerous. Even if Big Shanghai is good, there is no need to fight for this title. The previous films have already lost a large number of viewers because of this. We will not gain anything by doing this."

Du Qifeng was very dissatisfied with Dong's "retreat".

With this attitude, you still want to make a lot of money?

Although he was disdainful in his heart, Yu Dong was the real controller of the film after all, and he still needed the latter to provide publicity funds.

Du Qifeng patiently explained: "Boss Yu, it is precisely because the previous films failed that we have to do this.

At this stage, the entire film industry is actually passing the buck. Every time a movie says it will hit the billion box office, it is actually equivalent to injecting a sum of money into it. The audience mocks the person who said the billion box office, while waiting for the second movie that can hit the billion box office.

Du Qifeng frowned and said that he was the second attacker.

Although he hated "Chu and Han", for the sake of subsequent publicity funds, he still gritted his teeth and praised Zhou Mo.

He thought silently in his heart:

"Zhou Mo, I'll allow you to be arrogant for one more day!"

Du Qifeng continued, "So, if there is another movie that can hit a billion box office now, it will immediately gain support from a large number of audiences.

All the disappointment I have accumulated from other movies will be used to support our movie "Big Shanghai". "

Yu Dong also understood these principles.

But when he thought about the torment Zhou Mo had done to him in the middle of the year.

If it happens again...

Seeing this, Du Qifeng threw out the last reason.

"Boss Yu, don't forget Zhou Fa. His box office appeal is much stronger than Huang Xiaoming and his ilk. He said this time that he will follow the movie promotion throughout the whole process."

Huang Silang had a high reputation in the past.

But in reality, he didn't spend much time promoting the film.

Even for "Let the Bullets Fly", this person left with an excuse after promoting for two-thirds of the time.

After hearing this, Yu Dong finally made up his mind.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Just do as Director Du said. Ten billion. After the success, I will give the crew a big red envelope."

"Mr. Yu is so generous!"

Du Qifeng sent a horse.

That night, Bonar began to exert his strength.

The publicity for "Big Shanghai" began to spread across the Internet.

The next day.

The crew of "Chu and Han" just finished the movie promotion in the morning.

Chen Daoming went to see Zhou Mo.

"Director Zhou, 'Big Shanghai' is coming on strong. Our movie box office may be greatly diverted."

Zhou Mo's expression was indifferent.

"Teacher Chen, I actually never cared about "Great Shanghai City" at all."

"Oh?" Chen Daoming thought Zhou Mo looked down on the script of "Big Shanghai City" and explained, "The script of "Big Shanghai City" is indeed average, but the combination of Du Qifeng and Zhou Fa is still very strong in terms of box office appeal. Just last night, I saw several news reports about Zhou Fa and Du Qifeng's cooperation again on the hot search."

Zhou Mo shook his head.

"Teacher Chen, you worry too much. In fact, Huang Silang has been gone for a long time. Although Bullet was successful at the beginning, it is hard to say how much credit Huang Silang deserves. And his subsequent movies did not fail miserably.

At present, Huang Silang's fans are only very vocal online, but when it comes to actually buying tickets, there are very few people at all."

If we really talk about box office appeal, among the older generation of Hong Kong actors, only Stephen Chow has this ability.

After Zhou Xingxing, Chenglong counts as half.

Apart from these two, the rest can be found talking about their so-called past glory and box office appeal.

It's all bullshit.

"If it was 20 years ago, I would have avoided the 'Ah Lang Combination' of Du Qifeng and Huang Silang, but now...the two of them together are no match for us."

Chen Daoming felt very happy when Zhou Mo used the word "we".

In fact, he has never been very fond of Huang Silang.

They come to the mainland to make money, but look down on the mainland.

But Huang Silang is a man who has created a box office myth after all, and although Chen Daoming is also awesome, he is more involved in TV dramas.

The film industry is still a little worse than Huang Silang.

Therefore, he felt that Zhou Mo was a little bit arrogant: "Director Zhou, no matter what, Zhou Fa has won many box office championships. I don't think we are not as good as him, but in order to make "Chu Han" more stable, we can actually invest more in publicity funds.

And Zhou Mo doesn’t have to worry about the funding. We, the main actors, haven’t been very helpful in promoting the film. Now it’s our turn to contribute, so some of the publicity funding should be no problem.”

When Zhou Mo heard this, he looked around at the actors.

I found that many leading actors had gathered around.

Noticing Zhou Mo's gaze, almost everyone gathered around.

Liu Yifei took a brave step forward and said, "Director Zhou, being able to act in Chu and Han is the greatest honor I have ever had. I heard from Tiantian that you have prepared a red envelope for us, saying it is a gift for the movie to exceed 1 billion. I would like to refuse this gift and use the money for the promotion of the movie."

Zhou Mo raised his head and glanced at her.

It is an improvement over before.

Speaks a little better.

But progress has been limited.

It is easy to offend people if you say this. Liu Yifei is not short of money, and you give out red envelopes as publicity expenses, but many people in the crew are looking forward to this red envelope.

If you give it as a gift, will they give it back to you when the time comes?
Zhou Mo guessed that Liu Yifei must have been taught by someone to say this.

But the person who taught her was definitely not Huang Xiaoming, it was most likely Liu's mother.

After all, Huang Xiaoming couldn't say such low-level words.

His gaze turned to Huang Xiaoming.

really.

The leader shook his head, indicating that he was also surprised.

Then he turned around and looked at Liu Yifei.

The other person's eyes were shining at this time, as if he was doing a good job and was waiting for praise.

Zhou Mo sighed.

He is still the kid with fish lips who can compete with Da Tiantian in terms of IQ.

"Okay, everyone, please go away. There's no need to gather here. I know whether or not we need to increase funding. You will know tomorrow what the quality of "Great Shanghai City" is."

Seeing that Zhou Mo had made up his mind, everyone stopped trying to persuade him.

That night, Zhou Mo was chatting with the national husband, Prince Wang, and discussing something.

Suddenly I found that there was a wave of discussion about him on the Internet.

"No, Zhou Mo wouldn't really think that Chu and Han are safe and sound, right? He didn't even react to the release of Shanghai City?"

"I think he's scared. When The Feast and The Guillotines were released, he was very active. But now that Shanghai City is released, he's shut up. Isn't that a sign of cowardice?"

"Brother Fa is playing the role of a gangster boss again. The situation in Shanghai is changing. The tickets are ready. I'm just waiting to go to the theater as soon as possible tomorrow."

"It is said that when filming Bullet, Zhou Mo made a mistake and it was Fa Ge who helped cover it up. I didn't expect that now that Fa Ge's movie is premiering, Zhou Mo won't even say a word. He is really ungrateful."

"Is that so? I originally thought Zhou Mo was a pretty nice guy, but I didn't expect him to be like this? So Zhou Mo is really an ungrateful person."

Zhou Mo frowned as he looked at the increasingly outrageous comments.

"Even the story about me owing Huang Silang a favor has come out. Tiantian, have you checked it out?"

Da Tiantian: "Well, it should be Du Qifeng who is behind this, plus some of Huang Silang's fans who think that Huang Silang had favored you in the beginning, but you didn't support him, so they started spreading rumors on their own."

Zhou Mo was so angry that he laughed.

Huang Silang promoted himself.

Huang Silang is so awesome according to his fans, but does Huang Silang himself know it?
These guys are really cool.

In order to elevate the status of their own idols, they have even started to fabricate history, right?

Zhou Mo asked Da Tiantian again: "Did Huang Silang have any reaction?"

"At this point, there has been no official response to these comments, and we have not been contacted."

Zhou Mo nodded.

"In that case, don't blame me for fighting back."

Da Tiantian asked: "What are you going to do?"

"I'm not doing anything, just letting netizens see what Huang Silang has done over the years." Zhou Mo said in a calm tone.

He always believed that actors should have the responsibility to guide and restrain their fans.

This rule applies to leading actresses like Liu Shishi, and naturally also to established actors like Huang Silang.

It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine how sensitive an actor or celebrity is to public opinion.

For example, when Huang Xiaoming was filming "The Guillotines", the schedule conflicted slightly with "Chu and Han", which caused a small wave of public opinion on the Internet.

Huang Xiaoming called him that evening to explain the public opinion that emerged that afternoon.

Similarly, an actor of Huang Silang's level has at least a whole team around him to help him with publicity matters.

Therefore, it is impossible for Huang Silang himself not to know the news that "Zhou Mo owes Huang Silang a favor".

Even if he happens not to see it, his team will tell him.

Since the news came out, Zhou Mo did not receive any news about Huang Silang for the entire afternoon.

That means this guy at least lets the rhythm flow.

Since Huang Silang chose to let it go, there was no need for Zhou Mo to be polite.

the next day.

The first day box office of "Big Shanghai" is released.

The box office of less than 10 million was a heavy blow to the faces of a number of actors related to "Big Shanghai City", including Yu Dong, Du Qifeng, and Huang Silang.

Of course, Huang Xiaoming is not included.

He is a good comrade.

It is a good partner to turn from darkness to light.

Zhou Mo called Da Tiantian and asked the company not to rush to publicize Huang Silang’s past scandals.

“Let me post a picture first.”

"what?"

Da Tiantian came close to Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo found a photo from the computer album.

There are seven people in the photo:

Zhou Mo, the national husband Wang Gongzi, and five other young men who are not good-looking but wear clothes with "ig" printed on them.

Five young men held a round shield in their hands.

There is a sentence written next to the photo.
