Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 242 My Target Is Not Him
"Sure, introduce me to some generous ones then."

"Easy to say."

……

Two days later.

The party scene.

Zhou Mo met a group of old friends.

Andy Lau, Ma Ke, Wang Baobao, Huayi's Xiao Wang, and old rival Du Qifeng.

Zhou Mo greeted everyone one by one, and when it was Liu Dehua's turn, he came up and congratulated everyone.

"Congratulations, Brother Hua. You didn't even tell me that you have a daughter. I'll send a gift to the child as a token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

Liu Dehua nodded with a smile.

Having a daughter is the most important thing in his life.

"By the way, I've seen the booth that Director Zhou has set up for Lucy. Be sure to call me when the screening starts, and I'll go over to help."

Zhou Mo smiled and waved his hands: "Brother Hua, you are too polite, but I guess there will be a lot of people over there for Blind Detective, so you should just go about your business first. If you stay at my place for too long, Sir Du might get angry, right, Director Du!"

Zhou Mo raised his glass to Du Qifeng who was drinking in the distance.

Du Qifeng's face darkened, but he did not lose his temper as usual.

After enduring the beating in "Chu and Han", he has learned his lesson.

Unless he is absolutely sure, he will never show his teeth to Zhou Mo easily.

Although this time "Blind Detective" was qualified for the midnight unit screening.

But God knows what price "Lucy" can sell for.

"Just bear with him for a few more days and see what price Lucy can sell for," Du Qifeng thought silently.

To be on the safe side, he decided to let Zhou Mo go for now.

It’s a pity that Zhou Mo was unwilling to let him go.

Seeing that Du Qifeng was provoked by him like this, he didn't respond at all.

Zhou Mo reacted immediately.

Oh no, this guy is trying to run away.

He probably could understand Du Qifeng's ideas.

It just depends on the final price before deciding whether to provoke or not.

Zhou Mo definitely couldn't accept this situation.

"In that case, Mr. Du, don't blame me for being rude."

Walk forward, all smiles.

"Congratulations, Director Du, for being shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival. This is an honor that many domestic directors dream of but cannot obtain."

Du Qifeng's mouth twitched.

Zhou Mo's exaggerated tone might make people who didn't know him think that Du Qifeng had been shortlisted for the main competition unit of Cannes.

He was also not interested in practicing Tai Chi with Zhou Mo.

With a cold face, he asked in a low voice: "I'm not interested in making trouble with you, just tell me what you want to do."

"Why are you so alert? Director Du, don't be so nervous. I came here just to build a relationship with you." Zhou Mo said casually.

He really had no other ideas.

The main purpose of this conversation was to stimulate Du Qifeng.

A director who has been completely defeated by him will no longer have the opportunity to pose a threat to him.

When Du Qifeng heard this, he frowned.

He didn't believe Zhou Mo's idea of ​​"keeping in touch" at all.

An idea flashed in my mind.

It dawned on him.

understood.

This person must be asking him when "Blind Detective" will be released.

Then snipe him.

He is very familiar with this move.

After all, that's what Zhou Mo did before.

Du Qifeng stared at Zhou Mo: "You want to use the same trick twice and continue to snipe me? I tell you, Mr. Zhou, you are dreaming. I will never tell you the release date of "Blind Detective". You can really snipe a detective movie with a commercial soft science fiction! "

Du Qifeng vented his anger and felt much better after letting it out.

Then turn around and walk away.

He knew very well that Zhou Mo was not the type to suffer any loss in secret, and the best way to deal with it was to leave after having fun.

Behind.

Zhou Mo looked at Du Qifeng's departing figure in confusion.

What's wrong with this old Deng?

He analyzed what Du Qifeng had just said and could almost understand what he meant.

It's nothing more than not wanting to compete directly with me, but not wanting to lose face either. So I just scolded him and left.

But the problem is...

Can you leave?
Zhou Mo raised his lips and shouted to Du Qifeng, "No problem, Director Du. I have received your letter of challenge. Lucy will be released in July this year. See you then."

Du Qifeng, who had not walked far, staggered on the spot when he heard this.

He looked back at Zhou Mo who was smiling, and gritted his teeth in hatred.

But in the end, he left the party without saying a word.

When the other people attending the party saw this scene, they had different thoughts and no one knew what they were thinking.

But there is one thing they all do in common.

When I get back, I'll have someone send out what happened at tonight's party.

……

The next day.

As expected, reports on the gala have already appeared on domestic websites.

"Draw your swords again, Zhou and Du agree to fight in July."

"Third time is the limit, Zhou and Du will face off in the final battle."

"The battle between the old and the new, screened in July."

The media likes to watch the fun, and even though Du Qifeng hasn't announced any details about "Blind Detective", there have already been so-called rumors announcing the specific release date of "Blind Detective".

"See you on July 1st."

Speak with a nose and an eye.

The key is that there are still a lot of people who believe it.

All I can say is that the uncle party will never go out of style.

Da Tiantian looked at the message on the phone and nudged Zhou Mo's thigh with her little head.

She had some medicated patches on her calves to relieve muscle fatigue.

Last night this girl went with Fan Qiaoqiao to try on dresses.

He also signed a contract to endorse a luxury brand.

The price she paid was that she changed more than a dozen pairs of high heels yesterday and stood for several hours in total.

As a result, I woke up early this morning and complained that my legs hurt.

Fortunately, Zhou Mo brought some medicine with him.

Otherwise this silly kid would be miserable.

"You keep fleecing Du Qifeng like this, aren't you afraid that he won't fight back when the time comes?"

"If you don't want to respond, then don't respond. I never thought about competing with him in the beginning. He just walked into the trap himself..." Zhou Mo's tone sounded innocent.

"I chose July just to gank Guo Xiaowu. His fans are quite powerful. As long as we use him as a target, our movie rating will probably go up by at least one point. In addition, the box office will probably be able to get another 100 million without any problem."

"Is it so outrageous? This kind of bonus to other movies is almost as much as that of 1942."

Zhou Mo looked at Da Tiantian with wide eyes, not knowing what to say.

"Tiantian... what you said is a bit silly, and very silly."

Da Tiantian stuck out her tongue.

He stretched out his thumb and index finger and gestured slightly.

"It's just a metaphor."

Zhou Mo touched the medicine patch on her leg, gently tore it off, and replaced it with a new one in the same position.

"By the way, I'd like to remind you in advance that you can walk the red carpet in Cannes, but don't linger on it for too long. It's best not to stay on it for more than a minute."

He remembered that in his previous life, there were several stars who attended an opening ceremony in Cannes and managed to stay on the red carpet for more than three minutes.

When the news reached China, he was nicknamed "carpet star".

Perhaps this kind of traffic is useful for "black-and-red" stars.

But Da Tiantian doesn’t want to go down this path, so there’s no need for her to join in the fun.

"Okay, I'll remember that." Datiantian nodded.

He sat up straight and looked at Zhou Mo.

"But if you think about it carefully, the chances to walk the red carpet at Cannes are rare, and I don't know if there will be another chance in the future."

Zhou Mo understood what the girl meant at a glance.

smiled.

He kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."

Upon hearing this, Da Tiantian was about to respond to Zhou Mo, but suddenly her body twitched.

When I looked up again, my eyes were full of tears.

"My legs hurt..."

Zhou Mo: ...
