Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 228 Eat the pineapple first
Late April.

The battle for the May schedule has officially begun.

The most eye-catching ones are the two love movies.

"To Youth" by Zhao Yanzi.

Huang Xiaoming, “Seattle” by Zhou Xun.

The two films also adopted a super publicity model to suit the occasion.

There is still one week until the release of "Youth".

Zhao Yanzi led the main creators of the crew to participate in a talk show and invited Chen Kun, He Lin and others, as well as Mr. Cui, the head teacher of the 96 class of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy.

Teacher Cui is not that famous among the Chinese entertainment novels.

But when it comes to another class teacher who taught at the Beijing Film Academy in the same year as her, that person is very famous.

Chang Li.

That is the class teacher whom Gao Xiaoqin calls "Chang Ma".

Teacher Cui and Teacher Chang are on par with each other, and both of them have taught many famous students.

In addition to the above guests, there was another person invited by Zhao Yanzi to the event.

Huang Xiaoming.

The leader finally couldn't resist the temptation of the goddess, and using the excuse provided by Zhou Mo, he went to the goddess's talk show to cheer for her.

In the program, facing the host's questions, the leader tried his best to answer them.

"So Young is one of the best youth movies I've ever seen. Director Zhao has done a great job of combining the elements of youth and love. For fans who like to savor the excitement of youth, believe me, this movie will definitely not disappoint you."

Of course, he did not forget Zhou Mo's instructions and advertised his movie "Seattle".

When asked about his opinion of the two films, Huang Xiaoming tried to strike a balance.

"In my opinion, both films are excellent. Both Seattle and So Young will be the highlights of this period. Rather than a competition, it is an exchange meeting between teachers and students from Beijing Film Academy to bring everyone high-quality content."

Very level of water balance.

But Zhao Yanzi was not very satisfied.

She called Huang Xiaoming here today, not to ask Huang Xiaoming to be the fetcher.

But she didn't expect Huang Xiaoming to support her openly.

Take the microphone.

Zhao Yanzi smiled and said: "If movie fans are tired of the routines of some past love movies, then "So Young" will definitely not disappoint them. Youth is the most touching thing. Compared with modern fast-food love, youthful love may be immature, but it is definitely impressive."

These words were spoken in an extremely domineering manner.

Finally, Zhao Yanzi got rid of the frustration she had been feeling for the past year due to being ridiculed for delaying her graduation.

A group of main creators followed suit.

Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming looked at each other and said nothing.

It goes without saying who Zhao Yanzi was talking to.

It's better to keep your mouth shut at this time.

……

After the filming of "Police Story" was completed.

Zhou Mo gave himself a few days off and took Da Tiantian around Xiangcheng.

Cosmetics store.

Clothing, bags.

Gourmet.

The two of them basically toured the entire Xiangcheng.

A paparazzi took photos of the two of them shopping. After learning that he could not get the money, he decisively posted the photos on the account.

The post was captioned "Famous director and actress enter and leave hotel together late at night."

The media who smelled something swarmed over, but left disappointed when they found out that the protagonists of the picture were actually Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian.

What's so good about these two people?

Just a few pictures, not even as many as Zhou Mo himself posted.

Moreover, Zhou Mo's photos are obviously more beautiful, and even have special effects. They are not only beautiful photos of Da Tiantian, but also funny photos of Da Tiantian -

The promotion of "Lucy" continues.

The media are still accustomed to Zhou Mo's actions.

After hearing the news, netizens including those from the mainland were not excited but angry instead.

"Damn you Zhou Chu, you have time to go shopping, you have time to eat with the ladies, but you don't have time to post videos, right? I suggest you don't sleep too deeply tonight!"

Obviously, due to Zhou Mo's long-term and skilled behavior of delaying updates, he was successfully promoted to the "Chu" generation among fans.

While Zhou Mo was responding to fans' requests for updates, he casually patted the moon beside him.

Under the influence of Newton's second law, the moon successfully created ripples.

"Look, I told you to put on makeup, but now you've been discovered."

Da Tiantian snorted and said nothing.

Instead, he hid the tablet under the quilt.

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows and noticed Da Tiantian's little action.

"What are you looking at? So mysterious?"

"No, nothing?"

"I don't believe it. Let me see?" Zhou Mo reached out to take it.

Da Tiantian covered it up desperately.

"It's not interesting. There's no need to read it."

"I don't trust you, let me see you! Quick!"

Zhou Mo used the tickling technique.

After using the two-finger Zen for less than a minute, Da Tiantian lay on the bed with a flushed face and a smile on her face.

She stretched out her long legs and kicked Zhou Mo, then pinched the flesh on Zhou Mo's lower back with her two white toes.

"You know how to bully me."

Zhou Mo ignored the noise behind him and skillfully entered the password on the tablet.

What comes into view is the penguin dialogue box.

The person chatting was Huang Xiaoming.

The content of the chat is as follows.

"Tiantian, thank you for reminding me to contact Director Zhao."

He glanced at the time.

Recorded more than ten days ago. Zhou Mo looked back at Da Tiantian and found that she had secretly hidden under the quilt, with only one eye exposed, looking at Zhou Mo quietly.

"Tiantian, a gentleman's word is as good as gold."

Da Tiantian glanced at the door and found that in just a few seconds, Zhou Mo had quietly blocked the retreat.

Grit your teeth.

A sentence came out from under the quilt: "Have you eaten pineapple in the past few days?"

Zhou Mo curled the corners of his mouth.

……

Fragrant city.

The "Seattle" trio came to Hong Kong again.

"You two have been so cool lately. I've seen photos of you two shopping together in the media several times." Zhou Xun teased Da Tiantian.

Da Tiantian chuckled.

"Sister Xun can also take this opportunity to rest here for two days."

Zhou Xun shook her head: "I would like to, but your great director may not agree. If he doesn't order us to take a day off, we, the poor people who work for him, won't be entitled to a rest."

Da Tiantian waved her little hand.

"It's okay, Sister Xun, you don't have to listen to him. I'll give you a day off."

Zhou Xun's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect it, Tiantian, that your words are so effective?"

Da Tiantian glanced at Zhou Mo who was laughing, and found that he was not looking at her, so she nodded casually: "Of course, I have always been the one making the decisions on major matters in the company."

the other side.

Zhou Mo pointed the Great Wilderness Prisoner Heaven Finger at Huang Xiaoming: "Brother Xiaoming, after this interview, did Zhao Yanzi thank you?"

Huang Xiaoming waved his hands and said nothing.

Just the raised corner of his mouth revealed his thoughts.

Xue Xiaolu looked at Huang Xiaoming's condition and shook her head.

This guy is obviously not a pure and innocent boy, so why can he still be obsessed with that person?

However, there are many infatuated men and resentful women in the entertainment industry.

It's not surprising to have someone like Huang Xiaoming.

He turned his head and looked at Zhou Mo.

"Director Zhou, your movie has been finished now. Zhao Yanzi is coming on strong. I don't have the confidence that I can beat her at the box office."

Zhou Mo said casually: "Then let's compete with the artistic connotation. After all, that's not all there is to a movie."

Xue Xiaolu said calmly: "It's just an urban love movie, not a legendary drama like The Butterfly Lovers. How can there be so much connotation to talk about?"

Zhou Xun at another table suddenly spoke up: "But 'So Young' doesn't have much substance. It's just the same old stuff. It doesn't have much nutrition, and it doesn't have any depth."

Ever since Zhao Yanzi’s remarks in the interview.

Zhou Xun decisively entered a state of preparation for battle.

In just these few days, fans of both sides have been fighting each other on the Internet.

Huang Xiaoming said objectively: "It's not very nutritious, but fans and audiences love it, especially students and young people in their twenties, who are very interested in this kind of melodramatic drama."

Zhou Xun gave Huang Xiaoming a cold look.

"Who are you standing with?"

Huang Xiaoming made a zipper gesture towards his mouth.

This girl has been in a rather violent state lately, so it’s better for him to stay away from her.

Zhou Xun retracted his gaze and looked at Da Tiantian: "Tiantian, you are in your twenties now, do you like this kind of movie?"

"That's it."

Da Tiantian shook her head.

She has never been very fond of "So Young".

Isn't it just a romance movie?
It's as if no one has ever filmed it.

The combined box office of "Love Is Not Blind" and "When a Man Loves" totaled 700 million. Who would disagree?

If you want box office success, there will be box office success.

As for evaluation, the score of 8.1 for "Men in Love" is still posted on the rating website.

She is the sweet girl and is now the top-ranked star in the domestic romance movie box office!
Of course, there was one thing she didn't say.

In fact, she is not very fond of "Seattle".

"Look, Tiantian also agrees with me." Zhou Xun spread his hands to show that he was not alone.

Xue Xiaolu came out to smooth things over.

"Okay, Tiantian is an insider, so her feeling when watching movies is different from that of ordinary audiences. In terms of quality, our "Seattle" is definitely not bad, but "Youth" has the added bonus of the sentiment of the original novel, which can bring in a lot of box office."

"Why don't we use his feelings to promote it?" Zhou Mo suddenly said.

Ok?
Everyone looked at Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo directly took out a novel and put it on the table.

"So Young, So Young, the movie is adapted from the novel of the same name. It was published in 07 and was very popular for a while. Has anyone seen it?"

Da Tiantian raised her hand to indicate that she had seen it.

Several others shook their heads.

Zhou Mo continued to ask: "From your perspective, Tiantian, when you compare the original novel of "So Young" with the script, is there a big difference?"

Big sweet treat.

"Big, the plots of many characters have been adjusted. Not only has the original main male character's plot been reduced a lot, but the characters of several other supporting characters have also changed a lot."

Zhou Mo spread his hands: "Then the problem comes. When promoting "So Young", in order to attract sentimental fans, it emphasized respect for the original novel, but now the filming does not match the promotion. Do you think those fans of the original novel can accept it?"

Huang Xiaoming hesitated: "But there probably aren't many true fans of the original novel who go to see the movie. The sentiment is more about publicity. Will our approach be counterproductive?"

Zhou Xun disagrees: "Not really. Back then, the number of fans of the Chinese Paladin 1 game was small compared to the TV series audience, but this group of people had a loud voice and was very influential.

If there are no fans of the original novel who disapprove, then passers-by who have not read the original novel will not feel anything after watching it. But if fans of the original novel express dissatisfaction and form a voice, then passers-by will hesitate when deciding whether to watch the movie. "

When Zhou Xun talks about building popularity among the public, he is very knowledgeable.

She recently took on a new drama.

"Red Sorghum".

There was a movie version of this drama before, with Gong Huang as the heroine.

The movie version is such a great success, if she wants to avoid being criticized after filming, she must firmly grasp the audience who have not seen the movie version.

It seems that Zhou Mo and Zhou Xun have reached a consensus.

Xue Xiaolu immediately made the decision and started promoting according to Zhou Mo's method: "Xiao Xun, you have to be more restrained when promoting, and don't do it yourself."
