Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 247 Wild boars can’t eat fine chaff

"In addition, if you agree, our company actually has a plan to develop a deeper cooperation with you."

Zhou Mo has actually decided not to cooperate with these two people.

It's obvious that these two people have no intention of actually spending money to buy it, they just want to get it for free.

What a shitty independent comic.

It's all empty talk.

Got a hammer?

The only thing he was curious about now was what the cooperation these two people were talking about was?
Seeing that Zhou Mo had no objection, the person in charge thought that he was tempted.

He sneered in his heart and said, "The cooperation we are talking about is actually a movie. I don't know if Director Zhou knows that there are actually Chinese characters in the Super Hero comics..."

Zhou Mo was stunned.

Suddenly I had a guess in my mind.

"You are talking about Shang-Chi, right?"

The person in charge raised his eyebrows and said, "Director Zhou actually knew about this. That makes things easier. Our company has actually always wanted to make an oriental superhero movie. Shang-Chi happens to be based in China. If Director Zhou is willing, our company can consider handing over the director position to Director Zhou when we approve the project for Shang-Chi in the future..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhou Mo.

"Okay, you don't need to say any more. Forget about Lucy. Keep the six million for yourselves. I suggest you buy some delicious food to supplement your diet, so that the wild boars won't feel like they've never seen the market before because they can't eat the bran. Damn, you're still acting like a director. I think you two are like directors. You'd better direct more movies so that you can put them on P-site."

Zhou Mo felt that he was really stupid.

Really.

I thought these two could come up with some kind of collaboration.

I didn’t expect it to be Shang-Chi.

It's really outrageous for Walter to let a Chinese director make a Chinese-American movie.

Horse riding.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

After that, he turned around and left.

The two Walter executives looked at Zhou Mo's departing back with unhappy expressions.

It's really rude to leave like this.

And even though Zhou Mo's last words before he left were in Chinese, they could tell from his tone that they were not good words.

The two consoled each other: "Zhou is still too young to know that fate has already marked the price, or he has a poor vision. I wonder how much benefit he can get if he cooperates with us..."

The middleman standing by couldn't stand it anymore. He was an official Cannes staff member and had a very high level of appreciation for movies.

He estimated the value of "Lucy" to be at least 20 million, and it could even be double that.

Six million is simply an insult.

Besides, let these two people just talk, why are they bringing up "The Queen of Guillotines"?

"You two may not know much about Director Zhou. He is now the youngest director to win the box office championship in China. His level is beyond doubt..."

"But the box office champion in China is still Avatar, and it has been almost four years now." Walt's people interrupted the middleman's introduction.

"And so far, Zhou has only been making movies in China. As a director who has never won any awards at international film festivals, what level is he really at? I am skeptical about the Chinese film market."

This is really too arrogant.

Even the middleman left.

The two remaining responsible persons looked at each other.

Even though the contract was not reached, the responsibility certainly does not lie with them.

and so……

"Just announce the news normally, and the fans will make their own judgments."

"By the way, let's check what he meant by that vulgar phrase...sucking and shoving?"

……

Zhou Mo returned to the room angrily.

Da Tiantian was happily flipping through the photos on her phone.

Last night, she finally met Nicole Kidman and they took a photo together.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, I put down the camera and went to look for Zhou Mo, only to see his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Zhou Mo, let me tell you...what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Mo took a deep breath.

I told Da Tiantian about the situation.

After hearing this, Da Tiantian's face darkened. This was too infuriating.

Six million.

And Shang-Chi.

Da Tiantian got angry... just for a moment.

In the past, if she encountered a similar situation, she would most likely buy the other party's company directly and become the other party's immediate boss.

In other words, it means using money to knock people down.

But now, she thought about it, it seemed a little difficult to use money to knock Walter down...

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about how to avenge you!" Da Tiantian grinned.

Zhou Mo rubbed her head.

"Okay, stop thinking about it. There's actually no good solution to this kind of thing." After Zhou Mo finished talking to Da Tiantian, he felt a lot more relaxed.

After all, he was disgusted by those two foreigners today.

But the two parties are not in the same profession and have no direct competition, so it is difficult for him to directly snipe those two people.

Of course, it would be difficult for those two people to snipe Zhou Mo.

For example, Zhou Mo’s scolding just now.

Even if those two people looked up the meaning out of curiosity and knew that Zhou Mo was scolding them, what would be the result?

In the end, they just said a few words behind each other's back.

Nothing else can be done.

It's impossible for a real person to find Zhou Mo and challenge him to a duel.

After all, it’s all because Zhou Mo’s current international status is too low.

If Zhou Mo had three European gold medals, these two people would definitely not have the attitude they have today.

'It seems that after filming "Cold Wind", I have to try to win awards.'

Zhou Mo suddenly remembered a female star he had seen at a film festival before.

……

The next day.

Walter announced the failure of his cooperation with Zhou Mo.

As soon as the news came out.

The crowd roared.

At the beginning, many people were surprised at his choice when they heard that Zhou Mo gave up the opportunity to cooperate with Walter, and they also felt that this man was indeed overestimating his own abilities.

But when some people saw that Walt offered six million, as if to buy all the copyrights of "Lucy", they realized something was wrong.

The film trade at Cannes this year was not particularly brilliant.

"Lucy" is one of the more dazzling movies among them.

The total price of nearly 20 million is ten or even dozens of times that of many movies.

Six million.

It's indeed a bit too little.

But Zhou Mo is also a straightforward person.

Part of the content of his communication with Walter has been revealed, especially the part about "wild boars can't eat fine bran", which is particularly complete.

Everyone who knew the details was shocked at Zhou Mo's audacity.

That's Walt's man.

He can spray at people's noses.

But after listening to it, I still feel extra refreshed. Why?

In Zhou Mo's room, Jia Zhangke comforted Zhou Mo: "Director Zhou, don't take it to heart. Those foreigners are just like that, arrogant and overbearing. They have looked down on people for many years..."

He had been in contact with Zhou Mo ever since Zhou Mo rejected the Golden Rooster invitation a few years ago.

The two of them had a good relationship and had planned to get together after coming to Cannes, but he was busy with the award-winning work for "A Touch of Sin" during this period, so it was delayed.

I didn't expect that just when I had some free time, I heard about Zhou Mo angrily criticizing Walter.

So I hurried over to communicate with Zhou Mo to see if there were any problems.
