Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 23: Little Knife Pulling Butt
The casting of Ying Zheng was the most "thrilling" one for Zhou Mo since he started directing.

The degree of it was comparable to the first time he took a photo with Da Tiantian.

He has always known that there are many talented people in the entertainment industry.

But he never thought that so many talented people could gather together for his interview.

It was like a small knife pulling the buttocks——

My eyes were opened.

All persons involved in the selection.

There are actors like Nie Yuan who are good-looking enough and have good acting skills, but their age is not suitable.
There are also people like Huang Xiaoming, "I'm not here to compete for the role of Ying Zheng, because I know my age is not suitable. I just want to make friends with Director Zhou and show off my acting skills."

I have to say that Huang Xiaoming really understands life.

He speaks clearly right from the start, leaves his business card, and then leaves, never making things difficult for you.

With this level, Zhou Mo's previous life is far better than his.

If Zhou Mo had this mouth in his previous life, he would have coaxed his aunt into closing her legs.

Where are the next few years?
After Huang Xiaoming left, Zhou Mo met the first batch of funny people:
Hard-working fish, romantic deer, tough-talking, musical sheep.

After a round of performances, I can only use one idiom to describe their acting skills.

The teeth are interlaced.

Fortunately, apart from the hard-working students in this group, the others just came here to try their luck, and if they fail, they will go abroad to study further.

Zhou Mo decisively screened them out.

After sending off the Zoo group, Zhou Mo originally thought that the talents selected this time were almost enough, but he didn't expect that "there is always someone stronger than you, and there is always a mountain higher than the other".

The casting teacher quickly gave him a big one—

Zhou Mo looked at the four people.

Sails in Winter (Edited)

He is a loyal fan of the dead hawker.

Each of them has unique skills.

In desperation, Zhou Mo could only release the news, saying that they were looking for the teenage Ying Zheng, and the age limit was very strict, so everyone participating was requested to have some understanding of the age limit.

As soon as this news came out, fewer actors came for interviews.

Zhou Mo felt that his conditions had been restricted to this extent, and there would be no chance for him to get any more surprises.

But casting soon taught him that he was naive.

"The three of us" are on stage.

Two words, three words, four words.

They came separately, and now is not the time for them to reunite.

After the three performances, Zhou Mo realized what it meant to "have ambitions regardless of age, as long as you are happy."

As long as you have a strong enough background, resources are everywhere.

In addition to these three, he also saw a hot man.

He entered the industry at the age of twelve, but did not make his official debut until eight years later.

The website of Mile Station affectionately calls him a superstar.

Kun Kun.

To be honest, this person is actually quite polite.

After entering the room, say hello honestly, perform honestly, and leave honestly.

Zhou Mo actually didn't have much resentment towards Brother Kun. As a spectator, he had more smiles on his face when facing that incident.

Rather than hate.

The series of interviews made Zhou Mo exhausted. It was hard for him to imagine what he had done to anger God and people that made this group of people perform Qin Shi Huang in front of him.

A group of handsome men dressed up in fancy clothes tried to act "dominant" in front of him, but without exception, they all ended up acting "slippery".

It cannot be said that there is no acting skill at all, but it can only be said that there is not a single bit of it left.

“They are so ordinary, yet so confident.”

Fortunately, Zhou Mo is a man who has experienced the pain of playing chicken and has a big heart. After a round of screening, he finally found two candidates.

Rong Zishan, the actor who plays Zhu Chaoyang in "The Bad Kids".

Chen Xingxu, the actor who plays Li Chengyin in "Eastern Palace".

The reason for choosing these two people is not only because of their good looks, but more importantly, they both entered the circle at a young age, have a certain spirituality, and are the type with natural acting skills.

After a while, Zhu Yilong ran over and said, "Where did you kidnap these two guys? They're not afraid of strangers."

Zhou Mo warned: "Don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation. I've already contacted their parents."

Zhu Yilong laughed and said, "It's quite interesting, especially the older one. He doesn't look like a newbie. He should have had a lot of experience as an actor. I told him that if he wants to get into the circle in the future, he can find me and I will guide him." Zhou Mo looked a little strange.

"I don't necessarily need you to lead me."

"What?"

"That kid might have debuted earlier than you."

Zhu Yilong was stunned.

"I debuted in 2008, isn't that kid only 14 years old?"

"In 2000, Chen Xingxu filmed his first TV series."

Zhu Yilong: …

“It’s really spicy.”

Zhou Mo looked at Zhu Yillong's expression and inexplicably thought of the pair of Yan Wang and Time Assassin.

Yan Wang was born in 70 and debuted in 99. He was just about to talk to Time Assassin by claiming to be his senior, but during the conversation he found out that this guy was born in 79 and debuted in 94.

That was a complete loss of face.

Before Zhou Mo finished making fun of Zhu Yilong, his phone rang, "Hi shua shua shua shua..."

I looked at the caller ID and it was Mako.

"Hey, Ma, what's up?"

"Brother, you have to come. Lao Jiang wants to see you."

After a phone call, Zhou Mo learned that there was a problem with "Movie Promotion".

Zhu Yilong: "What's the matter?"

"Well, the crew just happened to be moving to a new location, so I'll go back to Yanjing."

"The Myth" is going to shoot a war drama.

Preparation for war scenes is very complicated and requires many days of preparation in advance, and the shooting location must be moved.

At the same time, Zhou Mo set off.

As soon as he got off the plane, Marco came up to him and gave him a big hug.

Zhou Mo joked: "Brother Ma, I'm not the second one, you should pay attention to your words and actions."

Marco pulled him into the car.

On the way, Marco had a long phone call and explained to Zhou Mo what was going on.

"Let the Bullets Fly" may have to be postponed.

"Earthquake" was released last month, with a total box office of nearly 6.5 million yuan, and was cheered by countless movie fans as a record-breaking film.

This is the first time that the box office of a mainland movie has exceeded 600 million yuan.

Although Jiang Wen didn't say anything during this period, he actually postponed the release date of "Let the Bullets Fly".

This is his second postponement.

Initially, "Let the Bullets Fly" was scheduled to be released during the National Day holiday. Jiang Wen said a few months ago that it was not ready and needed further polishing.

This time, if it is postponed again, Marco is afraid that it will be delayed until next year.

"Brother, please persuade Lao Jiang not to postpone the appointment any further. My heart cannot bear it."

Zhou Mo thought to himself, you can’t even persuade me, let alone me.

Besides, he didn't think Jiang Wen postponed the release date because he had been polishing the movie.

This guy went to film a movie with his wife some time ago.

Rather than polishing, it is better to say that it is paying off the debt owed from slacking off in the past.

"Brother Ma, there's no need for you to be so nervous. I still say the same thing, our movie will definitely make over 600 million, it's just a matter of more or less."

Ma Ke wiped the sweat off his face and said, "The problem is that Earthquake still has nearly 100 million yuan in advertising revenue. Lao Jiang said he was unwilling to add any ads at the beginning. Compared with others, we are missing out on a lot of money."

"So Director Feng was criticized a lot, and it even affected the film's reviews."

"The Great Earthquake" caused quite a bit of controversy due to the issue of product placement. Many viewers felt that the product placement was too explicit and raised objections during the roadshow.

Who is that little cannon? He is the one who dares to speak out against the trash audience.

I will definitely not tolerate such opinions.

I said on the spot: "Ad placement is very strict. Are you teaching me how to do things?"

　I still ask for all kinds of votes, and if that doesn't work, I ask for your continued reading. Thank you all.

　　Xiaosheng is here.
