Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 230: New Double Monday is a success?
Zhou Mo's actions directly intercepted the momentum created by several bosses and achieved his own traffic.

For two or three days, the internet was filled with discussions about the two-week collaboration.

At present, Zhou Xingxing has not given a specific response.

Zhou Mo's phone was bombarded with calls.

Wang Changtian called to complain: "Director Zhou, you are so mean. I was almost discussing with Zhou Xingxing what to make for the next movie, and you took me away."

Zhou Mo sneered at Wang Changtian's words.

I guess even Stephen Chow himself doesn’t know what his next movie will be.

Can you confirm with him?

"Mr. Wang, you are exaggerating. Can you tell me what Stephen Chow's next movie will be?"

Wang Changtian coughed lightly: "This... Zhou Xingxing hasn't announced it yet, so I can't tell you in advance. It's against the rules."

"Really?" Zhou Mo pretended to be surprised. "I didn't expect Mr. Wang to be so abiding by the rules. I was thinking that if Mr. Wang could tell me about Zhou Xingxing's next movie, I could get a bigger share of the investment in my company's next movie."

Wang Changtian: …

After a while, he gave a wry smile.

"Director Zhou, you really don't want to suffer any loss at all."

Zhou Mo curled his lips.

These bosses are always making phone calls to hold this person accountable and that person accountable. If you don’t show them some of your skills, they will really think they are the best.

"Okay, Mr. Wang, let's stop arguing here. You don't have to worry about Zhou Xingxing and I cooperating. This is not even a plan, and he hasn't contacted me.

So, instead of worrying about Zhou Xingxing, you should consider Lao Mouzi. Didn't I hear that you have been trying to get Lao Mouzi into your company? I suggest you contact him more recently, otherwise Lao Mouzi will be taken away by President Jia. "

Wang Changtian frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

Mr. Jia?
"Which Mr. Jia?"

"The one I like to watch."

Wang Changtian frowned: "Why did he get involved? Doesn't he already have Guo Xiaowu? Why is he still thinking of taking action against Lao Mouzi?"

Zhou Mo: ...

For a moment he couldn't figure out who Wang Changtian was scolding.

"Boss Wang, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you just said today. Otherwise, if it gets to Lao Mouzi's ears, you will never have a chance to get him again."

Wang Changtian was extremely embarrassed; he had indeed made a slip of the tongue just now.

Just as Zhou Mo said, if what he just said were really to be made known, it would be good enough that Lao Mouzi didn't become his enemy.

Still cooperate?
Don't even think about it.

But he was really curious.

He has been paying attention to a lot of Lekan news, basically watching "Tiny Times" every day. When did he get in touch with Zhang EMO?

"And does he have enough funds? He has to shoot two Tiny Times movies in a row, plus Zhang Yimou's new movie..." Wang Changtian analyzed from a business perspective and felt that Mr. Jia's move was a bit too big and might easily lead to failure.

"I don't know about that." Zhou Mo spread his hands.

Anyway, Mr. Jia's big ship is bound to capsize in the future, and all Zhou Mo has to do is buy low and sell high during this period of time.

As for other things, Zhou Mo had no interest in whether Mr. Jia had money or not.

After all, there are too many rich people in the country.

There are too many people running into the entertainment industry.

A few days ago, Ma Jieke also loudly declared that he would conquer the entertainment industry.

He is prepared to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in this at one time, and his words make him sound like a fat sheep who knows nothing and is walking straight into the mouth of a big bad wolf.

I don’t know how many people in the entertainment industry will take Jack Ma’s words seriously, and then they will become the fat sheep in the eyes of others.

When Wang Changtian learned that President Jia had contacted Zhang Yimou, he could no longer sit still.

I hurried back to the company to arrange things.

He promised Zhou Mo, "Thank you Director Zhou for reminding me this time. I have also heard about the news about So Young and Seattle. Guangguang will keep up with the promotion."

Zhou Mo smiled politely: "I'm so sorry."

Then he pulled Wang Changtian aside and forced him to explain the publicity strategy of "Seattle" before letting him go.

Then, pick up the phone.

"Hey, Teacher Xue, I have some good news for you..."

……

As more and more people pay attention to the two-week encounter event.

A name gradually emerged on the Internet.

The new “Two Mondays” is a success.

The name originated from netizens' discovery that these three have all been actors and directors, and their levels as both directors and actors are outstanding.

Simply kicked Huang Silang out of the team and replaced him with Zhou Mo.

The past "Shuang Zhou Yi Cheng" were three actors with superb acting skills.

The new version of "Shuang Zhou Yi Cheng" features three directors with extraordinary abilities.

Especially Zhou Mo and Cheng Long, their latest movie box office exceeded 1 billion.

As for Stephen Chow.

Although the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" did not exceed 1 billion this time, Zhou Xingxing's ability is obvious to all. His fans also said that "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons was only affected by Mr. Liu's operation this time, otherwise it would definitely be a member of the 1 billion club."

Even though he doesn't have it, you should just pretend he does.jpg
So, following the name of "Double Zhou and Yi Cheng", Zhou Xingxing's fans once again condemned Huayi and the Big and Small Wangs.

Although the bosses of several companies did not contact Zhou Xingxing last week, they got the news and knew that Zhou Mo had not contacted Zhou Xingxing either.

Therefore, when they saw the big and small Wangs being criticized, they all sent their "blessings".

“Trust and integrity are the foundation of a good movie.”

"Some people just like to break the rules of the industry and don't care about the development of the industry at all."

……

Huayi.

The big and small kings were very upset by the recent turmoil.

"Damn it, you guys are all bastards, and now you're barking." Xiao Wang slammed the table with a gloomy face.

The king seemed calm and composed, as if he was not affected much.

"What's there to be angry about? The money is already in hand. What can they do about the rest? They are just sour grapes."

"That's right, it's these people who are jealous." Xiao Wang kept venting his anger at the bosses of the film production and distribution companies: "They all support Stephen Chow and say they want to cooperate with them. But with Stephen Chow's bad temper, they are worse than us if they really want to cooperate!"

"It doesn't matter what they think, and the opinions of netizens are not important either. They are just a bunch of mindless followers. If you really feel sorry for Stephen Chow, why didn't you support Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons earlier?" Da Wang still thinks Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons made too little money. So much cost, so much publicity.

Even Stephen Chow followed the entire roadshow and had a conversation with Jack Ma.

In the end, the box office didn't even reach 800 million.

His original expectation was over one billion!

It’s all Zhang’s fault!

The king thought secretly that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely give Zhang a hand.

Xiao Wang calmed down and suddenly asked, "But Zhou Xingxing just said a few days ago that he would start planning his next movie. If he is allowed to work with other people, what if he really becomes famous..."

The king waved his hands and didn't care about the little king's question.

"Zhou Xingxing's planning speed is only slightly faster than Jiang Wen's. Even though he announced the plan now, we don't know when it will be filmed, so don't worry."

"That's true. Everyone in the industry knows that Stephen Chow is extremely fast at making movies. Only his fans think that he can make another movie soon."

The king's eyes were full of disdain: "Internet users are all ignorant. As long as we can maintain our leading position in the industry, then when we release movies in the future, won't they still come to watch the movies obediently?"

Halfway through his words, he had an idea.

"By the way, didn't Stephen Chow say a few days ago that he would consider plans for his next movie? Just release the news and say that you still want to work with Stephen Chow."

Xiao Wang was surprised by this opinion.

Shrimp.

You want a pig heart?

But then, he did feel a sense of satisfaction from the advice.

I just like the way you hate me but can't get rid of me.

The sense of relief this situation brings applies to any situation.

Even Xiao Wang couldn't escape this feeling.

"What about Zhou Mo? We worked so hard to promote it, but in the end it only helped him gain traffic. Should we create some trouble for him? I remember that the movie Seattle that was released these two days should be a movie produced by his company. Let's give him some momentum and help promote his rival So Young."

The king looked at the little king in surprise.

frown.

"Are you crazy? Even if it's just to make things difficult for Zhou Mo, there's no need for you to help Zhao Yanzi. Have you forgotten how she rejected us when we went to find her when she said she wanted to make a movie?

What's more, "So Young" is also invested by China Film Group. To promote "So Young" is equivalent to working for Han Sanping for free? It's a big loss."

Xiao Wang thought so too.

"Then let Zhou Mo earn some traffic comfortably?"

Just talking about this wave of traffic, it is impossible to get every million-level consumption, and now Zhou Mo is getting it for free. For Xiao Wang, who likes to get it for free from others, this is more painful than killing him.

In addition, in December last year, "1942" became a stepping stone for "Chu and Han".

At least in Xiao Wang's opinion, the conflict between Zhou Mo and Hua Yi is not shallow.

The king thought about it.

"Don't worry, he can't get away. His sci-fi movie Lucy is supposed to be released in the next few months. In China, it's like a pipe dream to release a sci-fi movie. If it collides with our company's movie, we will contact Weibo directly and arrange all the negative news for him. Let him worry about it himself."

……

"So Young" was released.

The box office on the first day was 50 million.

As soon as the news came out, many people felt that they could no longer understand this world.

New directors like to make youth romance movies because these types of movies generally require less investment and have a simpler core.

There are gains and losses, and the upper limit of this kind of movie is generally quite obvious.

A group of new directors who had just graduated from school and were still looking for investors were howling.

I feel like I can't live like this anymore.

He is also a new director.

It's also a love movie.

Why is Zhao Yanzi’s box office so high? It’s simply because she leaves no room for other newcomers.

In fact, it's not just new directors who find it outrageous; even some experienced directors find it hard to accept.

Zhou Mo's debut film "Love Is Not Blind" grossed 33 million on the first day, and the total box office was million, which far broke the record for this type of film.

Now, the box office of "So Young" on the first day was 50 million, which is even more impressive than Zhou Mo's back then.

Could it be that the domestic film industry is going to have another Zhou Mo?

That kind of thing.

No.

……

Zhao Yanzi Studio.

The main creators of "So Young" gathered together to celebrate the good news of the first-day box office of 50 million.

"Director Zhao, the first-day box office of "So Young" was so high. Is there a chance that our movie will eventually break through 800 million and reach the level of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"? " Yang Zishan asked.

She debuted very early, but has never been very famous.

If "So Young" can really be comparable to "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", then she will have the opportunity to become a top actress.

Yang Zishan's words resonated with others.

We are all in the entertainment industry, who doesn’t want to reach the top overnight?
Including Jiang Shuying, Tong Yaya, and Baobei, they all praised Zhao Yanzi and asked what was on their minds.

"Our movie did so well on the first day, I think we have a good chance. Although the first-day box office of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons was high, it fell very quickly, while our movie scored over 8 points at the opening, which can be said to be a great success in both box office and reputation. The final box office may not be worse than Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons."

"Yes, Director Zhao, if our movie takes in 800 million at the box office, you will be the number one female director in China."

"What do you mean by the first female director? I don't think it's just that. It's obviously the first among all directors. After all, which director has achieved such a good result with his first film in so many years?"

Zhao Yanzi felt a little flattered by the string of compliments.

She waved her hands and said, "I don't dare to think that it will be the same as Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, but it should be certain that the box office will exceed 600 million. As for the title of the first female director... I definitely don't deserve this title. There are many excellent female directors in China. I am just lucky to have the opportunity to achieve some success in the film industry."

The seemingly modest but actually boastful words once again aroused the applause of the crowd.

Amidst the cheers.

Zhao Yanzi's assistant pushed the door open, walked up to Zhao Yanzi and said a few words.

"what?"

Zhao Yanzi frowned, looking a little unhappy.
