Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 19 Good luck, today starts

Seven days later.

Hengdian.

The crew of "The Myth" officially started filming.

Zhou Mo didn't arrange any opening ceremony. The controversy surrounding the original version of "The Myth" had just passed, and it would be a bit too much to warm up now.

After he discussed with Tiantian, they unanimously decided to film quietly and not to shout.

The crew had their own dedicated person in charge of the ten-day preparations. In addition to continuing to polish the script, Zhou Mo's remaining task was to meet with the actors.

Every time Da Tiantian gets an actor, he chats with them.

Ever since meeting his head teacher, Zhou Mo found that he seemed to have indeed neglected the treasure land of drama circle.

Compared to the TV drama and film circles, the drama circle is somewhat less well-known.

But its status is truly at the top of the entertainment industry.

There are many resources in it that are simply not available to people outside the circle.

Zhou Mo followed the advice of his class teacher and prepared to make friends with people in this circle.

"Hello, Teacher Zhang Zhijian. I particularly like watching your Yan Shifan." Zhou Mo shook hands with Zhang Zhijian and felt the palm of Teacher Gao's hand.

The fingers are thick and long, with raised and elastic base.

He is worthy of being the weightlifting champion of the Ming Dynasty.

Strong and powerful!
The character played by Zhang Zhijian is Zhao Wangdan, nicknamed Warring States Stamp Album.

A monarch who was willing to exchange fifty cities for Tian Dan.

His favorite thing to do is to entertain his ministers.

My favorite line is: "I finally found a good minister, can't I enjoy myself?"

In "Myth", the King of Zhao in the early period seemed to be a very wise monarch. He gave his wise ministers whatever they wanted and supported them in whatever they did.

However, when faced with Zhao Kuo's reforms in the country that touched upon his core power, King Zhao decisively turned against him and expelled Zhao Kuo.

Zhou Mo truly admires this person's acting skills.

In Zhou Mo's heart, Zhang Zhijian is a real actor.

Specifically, he is willing to play some "imperfect" roles.

Whether he is a good guy or a bad guy, he can accept that the character has flaws and show them.

For example, Secretary Gao Yuliang, while holding great power, is also "addicted to beauty".

Not only was he with Ms. Xiao Gao, but he also asked people to take pictures.

Unlike some other actors who have good acting skills, but after becoming successful, they like to perform according to their own habits and formulas, and in the end they all follow a template.

To play the emperor requires one to be bright, majestic, and have great talent and strategy.

To play a leader means being confident, elegant and wise.

A typical example is Chen Daoming.

He acts the same way no matter what role he plays, and the image is very similar.

Zhang Zhijian also responded positively: "Director Zhou is young and promising. My children really like Love Is Not Blind. I also went to see it. It was filmed very well."

After meeting Zhang Zhijian, Zhou Mo met Wang Xueqi, the actor who played King Zhaoxiang of Qin.

Facing Zhou Mo's greeting, Wang Xueqi smiled and said, "I just finished playing a eunuch, and now I have to play a king. Director Zhou, you have given me a difficult problem."

The eunuch he was talking about was a character in "Sword Rain".

There is a plot in this play where Ye Zhanqing, played by Da Xu, falls in love with the eunuch Zhuanlun King and tries to seduce him, but when he touches him, there is nothing.

The Chakravartin was so angry that he decided to bury Ye Zhanqing alive.

Zhou Mo was actually very curious about whether anyone touched anyone during the filming of the movie.

After all, he is Da Xu, so abstract that Zhou Mo is not surprised by anything he does.

He laughed loudly: "I believe that the role of a king is not difficult for you. In my heart, you are one of the best emperor actors in the entertainment industry today."

Everyone who has watched "The Glory of the Tang Dynasty" knows that if Zhu Di did not grow up to be like Wang Xueqi, then there must be something wrong with history.

Wang Xueqi smiled and didn't take it seriously.

In addition, Lian Po invited Zhang Fengyi, Lin Xiangru invited Li Zhiguo, and Xinling Jun invited Liang Guanhua.

Bai Qi is Yu Hewei.

As for the three giants around Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo's charioteer Ge, an old man with a strange temper but loyal, is played by Jin Shijie.

Guard Di was handed over to Xie Miao.

The attendant was fortunately handed over to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao was finally called by Zhou Mo. This guy was the Gu Qianfan who was very comfortable with filming later. When he first heard that Zhou Mo was going to give him an important role, he was so happy that he couldn't control himself.

For this purpose, he made a special visit to Zhou Mo.

I also brought two bags of eggs. I can only say, you are worthy of being a 2D fanatic.

In addition to the above-mentioned people, Zhou Mo also chatted with some bigwigs from drama theaters. After a round of communication, a lot of contact information appeared in his mobile phone.

Many of these people are unknown, but Zhou Mo knows that many of them have terrifying resources.

Among a dozen people, there are always one or two sitting on the judges' panel.

Therefore, whenever Zhou Mo chatted with this group of people, he behaved very politely and quickly won a good reputation.

A few days later, Da Tiantian found Zhou Mo and said, "What kind of magic potion did you give to those teachers? They praise you as soon as they see me."

"Maybe it's because I'm more handsome?"

"You... you are indeed very handsome, but Zhou Mo, haven't you noticed that you have been hanging out with those old seniors these days?"

Zhou Mo looked at Da Tiantian's expression and understood.

"Tiantian, have you heard anything recently?"

Da Tiantian nodded: "Some young actors said that you are always concerned about your seniors and think that as a director, you are too disrespectful."

Zhou Mo smiled: "What do you mean by disregarding face? In the final analysis, it's just that I don't want to contact them because I feel that I haven't discovered their hidden brilliance."

He asked one more question: "Tiantian, do you think so too?"

"No."

Da Tiantian shook her head back and forth: "I definitely support you, but I am indeed a little curious. The director is the most important person in the crew. Some people say that you don't need to do this."

"They don't know shit."

Zhou Mo sneered, "A bunch of young people signed with the company, and now they have some resources and they look down on this and that. They know nothing about the power of these old people."

"What?" Da Tiantian was stunned.

"First of all, these seniors can often determine the lower limit of a play. With them around, a play may not become a big hit, but it will most likely not be bad."

"Secondly, even though these seniors spend a lot of time in the theatre, their influence is really not small, and a lot of resources flow from them."

Why does that guy want a position in the drama theater?

I persisted despite the scolding, and finally gave up because the noise was too loud and I couldn't handle it anymore.

You really think they have money to burn.

Da Tiantian suddenly realized that she really didn't know about these twists and turns. In the past, if she wanted to play a certain role, she usually had to spend money.

If you can’t spend a lot of money to buy something, it only means that you haven’t spent enough money.

Just smash a bunch more.

"So, Tiantian, I suggest you chat with these seniors more often, at least get to know them, and don't learn from those fools. Some resources can't be obtained with money.

If you are not in the same circle, no matter how much money you spend, it will be useless.”

In the previous life, when selecting a director for the movie "My Motherland and I", there were so many directors who had achieved box office success competing, but in the end, the top one had to be the little master of poetry reciting, Lao Chen.

Can you afford such resources with money?

Da Tiantian doesn't say anything else, but she really listens to what you say.

After being taught by Zhou Mo, he happily went to chat with the senior.

After Da Tiantian left, Zhu Yilong came over and nudged Zhou Mo with his elbow: "Director Zhou, please take care of me in the future."

Zhou Mo looked at his cynical look and uttered a word:
"climb."

It is obvious that the two have a good relationship.

The relationship between the two began four years ago.

I met him once when I entered the school.

Zhou Mo forgot that times have changed. There was no mobile payment, and he didn’t bring money when eating.

Zhu Yilong met him and paid for him.

At this moment, he stared at Da Tiantian's departing back and nudged Zhou Mo with his elbow: "How does it feel to be cared for by a rich woman?"

"Life is precious, but love is more precious. If there is a rich woman's bag, both can be thrown away."
