Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 245 What's Wrong with a World-Class Movie Star?

Three days in a row.

"Lucy" has already finished three screenings.

Zhou Mo received many offers for "Lucy" from film producers.

"Currently, the total number of several regions is about 18 million."

The main force reported the data.

"Sweet Princess asked, do we need to take action?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? There's still a long way to go before the closing ceremony. This is Tiantian's first time participating in a copyright sale. She's a little excited. Let's wait a little longer."

The assistant agreed.

The truly wealthy film producers will invest later in the future.

If you act now, you will most likely regret it later.

Take advantage of the break.

Zhou Mo has been following Jiang Wen and De Niro around to meet people these days, which can be considered as expanding his circle of friends.

A party one day.

Fan Qiaoqiao was chatting with Da Tiantian, and noticed a few familiar faces in the distance out of the corner of his eye.

Take a closer look.

It was Leonardo, Maguire, Tom Hiddleston, and...

Zhou Mo?

Fan Qiaoqiao felt that he had seen it wrong. He blinked and looked carefully several times. Then he saw that it was Zhou Mo.

"Tiantian, Director Zhou is chatting with Little Leo and the others?"

Da Tiantian followed Fan Qiaoqiao's gaze and nodded.

"It should be just a social occasion."

Fan Qiaoqiao was a little surprised. She had originally wanted to take the opportunity of the "Iron Man 3" crew coming to Cannes to introduce Zhou Mo to this group of white friends.

At that time, one side will be the currently popular superhero crew, and the other side will be China's future star director. Once the two sides know each other, she, as the middleman, will also be able to gain a lot of fame.

But Fan Qiaoqiao didn't expect that Zhou Mo had already started chatting with that group of people before she had the chance to introduce them.

Moreover, the way Zhou Mo chatted and laughed with that group of people, he definitely didn't look down on others.

On the contrary, their status is very equal, and even higher because of his identity as a director.

"Tiantian, when did Director Zhou get to know them?" Fan Qiaoqiao was very sure that Zhou Mo should not have had any such relationship before he came to Cannes again.

Could it be that they met during these days at the film festival?

But through what channel did you get to know each other?

"Robert De Niro introduced him. Zhou Mo and De Niro have been getting along very well these past two days." Da Tiantian explained.

Robert De Niro?

Fan Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered the photo he saw a few days ago of Jiang Wen, Zhou Mo, Robert and Kevin walking side by side, as well as the gossip in the report that the four had become good friends.

Her first reaction was that it was impossible.

Of course she knew that Jiang Wen and those two were old friends.

But she really didn't believe that Zhou Mo could be so close to those two people.

After staying in Hollywood for a while, Fan Qiaoqiao clearly realized that although these foreigners may smile at you, in fact many of them look down on you.

Some are quite arrogant and won’t even smile at you when you meet them.

Fan Qiaoqiao had tried his best to have the same experience when he went to Xiangcheng to develop his career ten years ago.

After all, Xiangcheng was not much worse back then.

Director Jiang Wen was able to gain their respect because, in addition to being truly talented, he had also won the jury award at Cannes and had been nominated for the Golden Lion many times.

As for Zhou Mo, although his box office has already ranked first in the country so far.

But so far, Zhou Mo has not won any awards either at home or abroad.

Zero.

This is also the reason why Fan Qiaoqiao was surprised that Zhou Mo could chat and laugh with that group of white people.

The white film industry, especially those in Hollywood, value domestic filmmakers more in terms of the awards they win.

There are prizes, awesome.

No prize, who are you?
Fan Qiaoqiao originally thought that the specific situation of domestic films was reported in this way more to make a comparison between two domestic and two foreign filmmakers.

Now it seems that they were really arm in arm.

"It seems that I need to get along better with Director Zhou in the future." Fan Qiaoqiao thought silently.

She recalled the script of "Entertainment Circle" that Zhou Mo had told her about some time ago. At first, Fan Qiaoqiao was not very happy about it.

It's too easy to offend people.

It's easy to get no thanks.

She didn't want to take the photo, but she didn't want to reject Zhou Mo directly.

I just said I would think about it and prepared to use a delaying tactic.

Now, Fan Qiaoqiao decided to film this drama today and immediately told Zhou Mo that he must film this drama.

As for the discomfort that the previous delay might have left Zhou Mo with.

It's just a small matter.

In the entertainment industry, as long as there is no conflict, there is always a chance to make amends.

Her emotional intelligence, Fan Qiaoqiao, is well-deserved.

If it really doesn't work out, just don't ask for any salary and then put in some investment.

……

the other side.

Zhou Mo was chatting with Maguire and others about the content of "Gatsby".

Originally, the foreign visitors were somewhat nonchalant about Zhou Mo.

Although he was introduced by De Niro, he is ultimately a yellow man and has not achieved any outstanding achievements so far.

But after Zhou Mo had in-depth communication with them about his understanding of "Gatsby", the expressions of several people became serious.

Leonardo, in particular, applauded directly.

"Zhou, I have to say that your knowledge of movies is better than most directors I know."

Among the group of foreigners, he was the one who had a better attitude towards Zhou Mo.

De Niro has known him for many years and can even be said to be indebted to him.

Even for De Niro's sake, he would not ignore Zhou Mo too much.

But he didn't expect that Zhou Mo's level was indeed beyond his imagination.

Faced with Leonardo's praise, Zhou Mo just smiled.

He knows the temperament of these foreigners very well.

Recognize strength, not courtesy.

The more you treat them as equals and demonstrate your abilities, the more you can win their respect.

The more so-called politeness and humility you show, or even concessions, the more they will look down on you.

This is also the reason why Cheng Long has a higher status than Jet Li as both are representatives of films that have gone abroad.

Cheng Long really doesn't take on insulting roles.

Even if the pay is high and you are the protagonist.

If you say you won’t answer, then you won’t answer.

But as for the latter... Danny the Wolfdog.

You can find the information from that year by searching.

So, ever since De Niro introduced Zhou Mo to this group of people, Zhou Mo has hardly stopped expressing his opinions when discussing movies with them.

Although his current abilities still lag behind those world-class masters.

But even if you have never eaten pork, have you ever seen a pig run?

It is okay to disassemble part of the work, add some of your own understanding, and focus on the use of lighting, lens, and positioning.

As for some implicit provocations, he would just confront them without hesitation and would not tolerate any backlash.

The result of this was that after only thirty minutes of discussion, Zhou Mo won the admiration and praise of a large number of people.

The party is over.

Da Tiantian followed Zhou Mo with an excited tone.

"Zhou Mo, do you know what they say about you? A future film master, a rising star, you have a promising future."

Zhou Mo smiled, but was not particularly excited.

Just compliments.

He had adapted to it long ago.

Besides, the compliments from some white men are not as nice as those from young ladies.
