Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 234 You all have unique skills

Chapter 234 You all have unique skills
"'Scarlet Heart'?"

Zhou Mo had some impression of this TV series, but not much.

I vaguely remember that although it was called the second part of "Startling by Each Step", the background should be set in modern times.

And the reputation is very bad.

The plot is terrible and full of melodrama.

"Cai Yinong has brought out all her best tricks, hoping to turn the tables, but the problem is, if you're not here, who will she let be the heroine?"

"Let's go for Nazha. There's no one else who can use the sugar man." Liu Shishi spread his hands.

Ever since "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky", the reputation of sugar man has been completely ruined.

The heroine who was originally supposed to be the lead was used as a cushion to serve as a foil for their own actress after the filming was completed, and the actress was a top-tier actress like Tang Yan.

That's how it is done.

Which female celebrity is not annoying?

What's more, Tangren is not a particularly powerful film and television company, and it can only deal with the small field of ancient idol dramas from the beginning to the end.

It's such a loss to serve as a cushion for her actresses.

"Then what did Cai Yinong tell you?"

"Build relationships, then talk about your hard work, and finally make your request." Liu Shishi's tone was calm.

Her fate with Sugar Man basically came to an end after Cai Yinong asked her to ask Zhou Mo for help to get "Legend of the Condor Heroes" approved.

Coupled with a series of financial disputes that followed, not even the last bit of affection was left.

"Oh, by the way, I remember that during the Chinese New Year, Tang Ren wanted to sue Lin Gengxin. What was the result? Did he lose money?"

When Liu Shishi heard this question, the corner of her mouth twitched.

"Lost."

"How many?"

"1500000."

"This amount is not much. If we really calculate it, we have made a profit by using 1.5 million to exchange for a free body."

"Yes." Liu Shishi was in a good mood when she mentioned this.

At the beginning, in order to help Lin Gengxin get rid of the sugar man, she prepared tens of millions of dollars in case of emergency.

He was even afraid that it wasn't enough, so he asked Zhou Mo to borrow some.

I didn't expect that after the lawsuit was over, I had to pay a compensation of 1.5 million.

Zhou Mo noticed the change in Liu Shishi's expression and was a little surprised: "Is there anything about this lawsuit that I don't know?"

Liu Shishi shook her head and said in a strange tone: "It has nothing to do with the lawsuit. It's just that Lin Gengxin posted a post mocking Sugar Man after the lawsuit."

She took out her cell phone and handed the screenshot to Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo looked at the screen.

A sentence that catches the eye.

"It's only one and a half million, a drop in the bucket, not even as much as I gave to the teachers."

Zhou Mo: ...

Don't know what to say.

It’s really worthy of being called Lin Gengxin.

On the road of abstraction, he is simply so far ahead of everyone else of his time.

If you count carefully, Zhou Mo now has a large group of male celebrities under his command.

And everyone has special skills.

First up are Lei Jiayin, Guo Jingfei, and a newly famous Bai Ke.

The "TFBois" group consists of three "losers".

The second is Wang Kai.

He is an honest and obedient person who does whatever you tell him to do.

It’s Chen Xiao again.

She has a second-year syndrome and is not afraid to confront people. She likes the Canadian grocery shopping woman version of Nie Xiaoqian very much, so she has implied Liu Yifei's version of Nie Xiaoqian.

Zhou Mo plans to have these two people work together again to shoot film and television dramas.

The last one is Lin Gengxin.

The king of abstraction.

As for Zhu Yillong, the double-flowered red stick master under Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo didn't even want to mention this guy.

This guy went to deliver eggs again a few days ago...

And it also became a hot search.

Because the person to whom the eggs were sent this time was Chen Baoguo, with the purpose of learning about the inner qualities of the character Jiajing, Chen Baoguo praised him highly.

"Also, Lin Gengxin hinted to me that he wanted to make a film and hoped that I could help him contact you. After all, he came here for you in the first place and his mind is entirely on you." Liu Shishi said with a teasing tone.

"Okay, in the second half of the year, Shanhe will be launching another urban idol drama, and he will be the protagonist then."

At this point, it is almost time for Zhao Xiaodao to leave Huayi.

This girl is ambitious.

He has many famous works, and he will have a protracted battle with Da Mi in the future.

It's a good target for fleecing.

For example, in “Come on, Mr. Love”, there is absolutely no problem in letting Lin Gengxin play the male lead Feng Teng.

Liu Shishi nodded, turned around and called Lin Gengxin.

She is now a boss to some extent, and compared with her previous soft personality, she is much more decisive in her work.

After Liu Shishi left, Zhou Mo also got up and began to prepare for work.

finish dressing.

Go to the set of "Huashan".

"Huashan" tells the story of Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze when they were young.

The timeline starts from the acquaintance of Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, to the fight between the sword and qi sects of Huashan Sect, which caused the sect to suffer heavy losses and Yue Buqun took over the position of the sect leader. Now, Lu Yang has shot nine-tenths of the movie.

Only the finishing touches remain.

"Director Zhou, please arrange the scene where Yue Buqun comes into contact with the imperial power. I will finish the filming of the last story of Huashan Sect." Lu Yang, who had entered the working state, no longer had his usual cheerful look and his attitude was very serious.

Zhou Mo took the script, read it once and recalled what he had conceived before.

The plot of "Huashan" continues with "Swordsman".

Therefore, some actors will be reused between the two film and television works.

For example, Huang Zhizhong.

He is the actor who plays Yang Tinghe.

Zhou Mo chose him just to form a team with Zhang Zhijian.

The two people who originally confronted each other in "The Ming Dynasty 1566" are still in a confrontational relationship in "Swordsman".

And this time the two people's positions were reversed.

Hai Rui, who used to speak out for justice and for the country and the people, became Yang Tinghe, who controlled the government and refused to leave. And the arrogant, domineering, greedy and lustful young cabinet minister became Zhang Cong, who was determined to reform.

Return to the filming of "Huashan".

In the plot, Yang Tinghe was already the prime minister of the dynasty at this time. He had decades of accumulated reputation and students in front of him, and Zhu Houzhao, the hands-off boss who was always thinking about killing people with a knife, and directly handed over all the affairs of the court to him.

Despite this, Yang Tinghe was still not satisfied.

He was the most prominent figure in the court, but that was limited to the court.

Once he left the court and the capital, there were still large forces that he could not take care of.

In order to expand his control over the world, Yang Tinghe took a fancy to these so-called martial arts sects.

"Teacher Huang, in this scene I want you to display your full aura, but not the Hai Rui kind. I want you to display an image that is ambitious and has a strong desire for control. It would be best if you could scare Yue Ming to the ground with just a glare, and make him think that you can kill him with one punch."

Huang Zhizhong has worked with Zhou Mo before and is very familiar with his way of speaking.

He gestured OK to Zhou Mo, then rolled up his sleeves and began to find his form.

However, this action scared Pan Yueming.

He had never seen Zhou Mo's exaggerated shooting style before, and when he saw the muscles on Huang Zhizhong's arms, he subconsciously thought that he was really going to be beaten.

No way, sir.

Is the filming here so realistic?

Zhou Mo's words came lightly: "Don't be nervous, Yueming, you are in a very good state now. Yue Buqun has just experienced the civil strife in Huashan, and his mentality is unstable. Being received by Yang Tinghe is beyond his imagination. You should grasp the feeling from half a minute ago and act with that emotion."

Half a day later.

Zhou Mo finished today's shooting task.

Huang Zhizhong walked over with a relaxed look on his face.

He doesn't have many scenes in "Huashan", only three or four. Today is the last one, and he can have a holiday after finishing it.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Huang. After finishing the TV series, I would like to trouble you to come and film the movie."

"Director Zhou, you're too kind. I'm the one who got the bargain. I have scenes in both movies and TV series, so if Director Zhou has any requirements, just tell me." Huang Zhizhong said politely.

Zhou Mo's eyes lit up.

Since Huang Zhizhong has said so, wouldn’t it be very disrespectful for him to not agree?
"That's OK. It happens that 'Swordsman' will be airing in June. Then we will need Teacher Huang and Teacher Zhang to appear on a few shows together to promote the TV series."

Huang Zhizhong: …

Why did I have to say that extra word?

"Since Mr. Huang doesn't say anything, I'll take that as your consent. I'll have the crew contact you later. You can take a rest during this time." Zhou Mo took advantage of Huang Zhizhong's daze and turned away.

There was no sloppiness at all.

……

Leave the set.

Before I had time to relax after returning to the office, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Yang's assistant came in.

"Director Zhou, those reporters are here again. Director Lu asked me to come over and tell you that you definitely have a way to defeat those scoundrels."

Zhou Mo:?
Why is Lu Yang so precious?

"He told you this in person?"

The assistant nodded.

Zhou Mo glanced behind his assistant, but did not see Lu Yang.

"Where's your Director Lu?"

The assistant was stared at by Zhou Mo and lied: "Director Lu...Director Lu had a stomachache today and was in the toilet the whole time."

My goodness, we agreed to deal with the reporter together, but this guy actually ran away to pee?
Don't even think about it.

Zhou Mo glanced at his assistant's long hair and said in a gloomy tone, "If Lu Yang had been in the bathroom, how would he know that the reporters were coming again? I want to ask you, how did he tell you to come to me?"

"Ah, this!" The assistant was stunned.

I don’t know how to explain it.

Zhou Mo snorted, "Tell him to stop hiding. He is the director of the crew anyway. Tell him and we will go to meet the reporters together later."

Humph.

Want to escape?
The assistant nodded and went back to find Lu Yang.

After a moment, Zhou Mo looked at Lu Yang with a relaxed expression.

"Why, you don't feel uncomfortable anymore?"

Lu Yang chuckled.

"What a coincidence! Just now, I suddenly got better."

"Oh——" Zhou Mo's mouth curled up: "I see, I thought you didn't want to face the reporters with me, so you pretended to be sick."

Of course Lu Yang didn't want to face the reporters.

Because of Pan Yueming's incident, he has been troubled by reporters a lot recently.
