Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 189 Reward Settlement
The ratings for "Art Life" are out.

Sweep all the variety shows on CCTV in the same time slot.

The mixed doubles performance of Zhou Mo and Cheng Long directly made the show a hot topic.

Viewers left comments.

"I never thought that Art Life could be so funny. I feel like Zhu Jun is about to have a heart attack."

"It's okay to kill Brother Ma, this guy is very abstract to begin with, I didn't expect Uncle Long to have such a strong talent for comedy, I'm almost dying of laughter, I can't finish it, I can't finish it at all."

"The person above is surprised by what he has seen. Cheng Long is one of the top comedians in the country. Have you seen his City Hunter? If not, go watch it. If you don't laugh, I'll give you money."

"In the past, Art Life has always been about sentimentality and touching people. To be honest, I am a little tired of it. I haven't watched it for a long time. This episode is very good, especially good. If it continues in this style, I can watch it until the end of time."

"Mr. Zhu is still too timid. Zhou Mo has already mentioned the people who 'didn't donate money but promoted it'. Why don't you continue talking about it? Start another show and talk about these people. I want to see rivers of blood."

The crew of "Art Life".

Wang Zheng met with Zhou Mo and expressed his gratitude specially.

"Art Life" has been on the air for nearly ten years. It is a program she brought up personally, just like her child.

Since 10, the show's ratings have been declining year after year.

Wang Zheng doesn't want to let such a good program fail in his hands. The burden on his shoulders is really heavy.

Fortunately, Zhou Mo gave her some insights in this episode, and maybe she can really move towards a more relaxed direction in the future.

"Director Zhou's visit this time really helped a lot. I will practice more in the future. If there is a chance, I hope Director Zhou can appear on another episode of "Art Life". Both the crew and the audience have given very high evaluations of your episode."

Wang Zheng has been eyeing Zhou Mo for a while.

It feels like staring at Zhou Mo, a sheep, and trying to pull it hard.

Zhou Mo's expression was indifferent.

He had no objection to going to Art Life.

It’s not too much trouble and you can gain a lot of fans.

No harm at all.

But he probably won't go there again in the short term.

There's not much to say.

The audience will also get aesthetically fatigued.

He waved his hand and said, "Of course I can go, but forget about it in the short term. I can go after the filming of Police Stories is finished."

Wang Zheng was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he could understand it.

After thinking for a while, he suggested: "If you don't participate in the show, you can share your experience with the program team, which can be regarded as guidance."

This is very sincere.

The person in charge of a CCTV program invited a non-institutional director to share his experience.

If you say this, many directors will be envious to death.

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "That's fine. I've always wanted to communicate with the elites of CCTV... I can't say I can provide guidance, but if Producer Wang wants to increase the ratings of Art Life, I do have an idea."

Wang Zheng's eyes lit up.

"Director Zhou, please speak."

Zhou Mo took out his cell phone, enlarged the comment criticizing Zhu Jun for being "too timid" on the screen, and showed it to Wang Zheng.

The number of more than 100,000 likes below the comments almost blinded Wang Zheng’s eyes.

"Producer Wang, have you figured out anything?"

Wang Zheng nodded.

She is not a fool, how could she not understand what Zhou Mo meant.

"Director Zhou means that we can include some exposure of negative phenomena in the future?"

"That's right, happiness is something that can be compared. I'm sure Sister Wang is also very clear about what happened with "Art Life" in the past. Frequently telling touching stories can no longer satisfy the audience's needs. They will feel bored, and even think that the people on the show are all lying, high-sounding, and insincere. I'm sure Sister Wang has heard these comments..."

That's a bit impolite.

There is even suspicion of healing people's scars.

Zhou Mo stopped talking and glanced at Wang Zheng's face.

Wang Zheng wasn't angry either.

She knew that what Zhou Mo said was true.

Nod.

"Director Zhou, it's okay, just continue."

“As a professional, I know that many of the stories in Art Life are relatively true, but as outsiders, the audience has been facing the same narrative for years, and they will definitely become more and more suspicious of the authenticity of some things, especially with the increasing number of false stories that have been exposed online in the past two years.

Therefore, instead of letting the audience transfer their emotions caused by seeing other false events in the entertainment industry to the production team of "Art Life", it is better for the production team to directly make the situation clear themselves, show the gap to the audience, and let them distinguish for themselves."

Wang Zheng's eyes lit up as he listened to Zhou Mo's story.

She was moved.

Zhou Mo’s analysis is correct.

For a talk show, criticism is always easier and more attractive than construction.

Not to mention that both sides of the same thing are shown in the show.

It can arouse people's emotions even more.

"It's just that this may cause some controversy. Nowadays, the power of private media is getting stronger and stronger, and sometimes it can even compete with official media. So many times the news is confusing, and the audience can't figure out who is good and who is fake."

As Wang Zheng spoke, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhou Mo.

The meaning is very clear.

Your director Zhou’s website is one of the so-called “civilian media”.

This is asking for cooperation.

Zhou Mo laughed and said, "Don't worry, Sister Wang. The station has always stood on the side of social justice and will never do anything that violates public order and morality."

He showed the comments on his phone again.

"The truth always becomes clearer and clearer. The audience is not in the circle and does not know the specific situation, but how can the program team not know it?

Sister Wang, let me put it this way, as long as our program team is willing to try this project, Lizhan will definitely help and cheer.

If for no other reason, it is just to make the environment in this circle better.”

Wang Zheng burst into tears.

Apart from anything else, just based on Zhou Mo's words, you can tell that this kid is a really good person.

He really deserves to be favored by those people in the film and television industry.

Comprehension is high.

She grabbed Zhou Mo's hands and shook them up and down vigorously.

"The industry needs leaders like you, Director Zhou. Without further ado, as long as I am still here at Art Life, we will continue to cooperate with the station."

After saying this, Wang Zheng felt that it was not enough.

A single collaboration sounds like a blank check.

She thought for a moment and said, "I think it would be a good idea to talk about charity in the next episode of Art Life. It would be a good opportunity to go into more details about what we didn't finish talking about last time, and also reveal to the audience that there are indeed some unknown dark sides in the entertainment industry. I think the Huang Silang incident is a good example."

Return a favor so quickly.

Zhou Mo curled the corners of his mouth.

It seems that Huang Silang will never be able to jump around again.

Although the battle against Huang Silang led by him was very grand, it had not been officially confirmed and was just a "rumor" of the civilian media.

And now, since Wang Zheng has said so.

That would mean the final conclusion.

Zhou Mo added: "In this case, I suggest that Sister Wang invite Huang Xiaoming as the guest of the next episode and use him as a positive publicity case. There will definitely be no problem!"

……

Early January.

"Chu and Han" has officially been withdrawn from theaters.

The total box office is 11.6 million.

To celebrate this achievement, Shanhe Company set off firecrackers in front of the company gate for three whole days.

A whip every morning.

The kind with 10,000 rings.

Zhou Mo stood in the hall, watching Da Tiantian covering her ears and running around because of the firecrackers.

Took a photo.

Then posted it on the dynamics. Attached a sentence:

"I have seen people bitten by dogs and cats in my life, but I have never seen anyone bitten by firecrackers."

A moment later, Da Tiantian came over with messy hair and a silly smile on her face.

"Are you happy?"

"OK!"

Zhou Mo reached out and wiped the dust off Da Tiantian's face, then asked, "How many days do you plan to keep it going? If you keep doing this, be careful that the neighbors will call the city management to sue you for disturbing the public."

Da Tiantian snorted.

It means everything is under control.

"I'm telling you, I've already taken care of it. I sent gifts to other merchants a few days ago, so don't worry."

She thought about it.

Hold up four fingers.

"At least we need another four days to make it a full week."

彳庍口巴.

Since Da Tiantian is willing to do it, let her do it.

After returning to the office, Da Tiantian put on makeup and found Zhou Mo.

"By the way, I have already arranged the hotel. If you don't arrive in time in the next two days, don't run around. Finish the celebration banquet first." Da Tiantian reminded.

Zhou Mo glanced at the schedule.

There really hasn't been anything extra going on lately.

Except for one thing: Lost in Thailand is about to be released.

Everything else can be put off until after February.

Zhou Mo saw Da Tiantian finish her instructions and picked up her bag to leave.

"Why are you going?"

"There is an endorsement."

"Are you coming back for dinner today?"

"Don't eat."

After Da Tiantian left, Zhou Mo also started to deal with his own affairs.

First and foremost.

It is to settle the system reward of "Chu Han" -

A special effects company.

"System, settlement."

The long-lost mechanical sound was heard.

Words appeared in front of Zhou Mo's eyes.

[Optimization target: "Chu and Han"]

[Optimization Reward: A special effects production company]

The system has just been settled.

Zhou Mo's phone rang.

I glanced at the caller ID and didn't recognize the phone number.

connected.

"Hey."

"Hello, boss." The voice on the other end of the phone was loud, but it felt a little awkward.

Without waiting for Zhou Mo to speak, the man continued.

"Boss, we have completed part of the task you assigned to the company before, and the video has been sent to you. Please check it."

Hang up.

Zhou Mo was still a little confused.

Assigned to the company.

The video was sent?

What the hell.

But he still followed the man's instructions and found the video in the machine.

The video title is four words.

"Lucy" p1.

Open the video.

It is the last part of the movie. The heroine travels through time while sitting on a chair, going back to the prehistoric era and almost collides with a dinosaur.

The video is just over a minute long, which is not very long.

But after Zhou Mo finished reading it, his eyes widened visibly.

this technology.

This texture.

The authenticity of this dinosaur.

Zhou Mo subconsciously checked the configuration of the machine.

It is still the same machine, and the configuration is not much different from the ordinary clip attack.

The tools he used to edit videos are all in the studio.

Not in the office.

Watched the video again.

To put it bluntly, the special effects level of this movie surpasses that of almost all the movies on the domestic market.

Zhou Mo originally thought that his reward this time would at most be a complete special effects company team.

The rest of the industrial upgrades, equipment updates, and staff recruitment will still need to be done slowly by ourselves.

I didn't expect the level to be so high right from the start.

“This level is not much different from that of the world’s top special effects companies.”

It is indeed produced by the system.

It means there is security.

"In this way, maybe Lucy can impact the overseas market... but it's still not going to work. Black Widow was able to make more than 400 million yuan for Lucy, which was the result of her personal movie and the global success of The Avengers.

Tian Tian is much worse than Black Widow, so it is not realistic to impact the overseas market, otherwise it will become The Great Wall. However, it can go to the three major European awards and sell copyrights. Anyway, Cannes has no aversion to commercial films and likes soft science fiction. "

Zhou Mo briefly made a plan for "Lucy".

Selling copyrights is also good.

Based on the level of "Lucy", the copyright fee is still in the tens of millions.

But all this still has to wait for the final results of "Lucy".

So he took out his cell phone.

Send a text message to the phone number just now.

“How long will the post-production of Lucy take?”

After a moment, the other party replied.

"There's only a little over a month left."

More than a month?
There is still time.

Zhou Mo thought about it and decided not to tell Da Tiantian about the surprise for the time being.

This silly kid hasn't been to Cannes yet.

Give her a surprise later.

Just put down the phone.

Another call came.

Look down.

Tang Yan.
