Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 262 Lucy Premiere: Zhou Mo Plays His True Self

June 10th.

"Lucy" premiere.

The process is old-fashioned.

Reception.

to chat with.

Broadcast.

A few minutes before the show, Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian sat in the corner.

Still the same location.

Still just as hidden.

This time, Da Tiantian didn't care whether anyone was watching or not. She leaned directly into Zhou Mo's arms, holding Zhou Mo's palm and gently biting the skin on the back of Zhou Mo's hand with her teeth.

"nervous?"

"Um……"

"You're nervous about a movie worth 30 million dollars?"

"The environment at home and abroad is different. So far, there has been no real female-led movie in China, and Lucy is a serious one. It all depends on me to carry the box office..." Da Tiantian became more and more excited as she spoke. Her little face, which was originally powdered, was now completely pale. She trembled and said, "If the movie doesn't work, I..."

Da Tiantian couldn't continue.

Typical of getting more scared the more you talk.

"If it doesn't succeed, then it doesn't succeed." Zhou Mo suddenly said.

"Ok?"

Da Tiantian was stunned, as if her spell was interrupted, and even her nervous feeling was stopped.

"Aren't you afraid that if our movie fails, both your grades and my career will be greatly affected?"

"It's just a movie. What's the impact? Even if it fails, it's just like that. When Snow Flower and the Secret Fan was released two years ago, didn't Deng contact you? What was the final result? It didn't even get 5 million at the box office, but did Li Bingbing and Jun Ji-hyun's careers suffer? Did the poor box office of the movie affect Li Bingbing's filming of Resident Evil ?"

Da Tiantian's eyes lit up.

That's true!
It's just a movie, if it flopped, it flopped.

Can you explain what kind of actress she is?

Not at all.

"What about you? If Lucy fails, will it affect your development?" Da Tiantian asked seriously.

She even cared more about Zhou Mo's situation than herself.

No matter from an emotional point of view, Zhou Mo is the person she has supported wholeheartedly, and she doesn't want to see Zhou Mo fail and feel miserable.

From a logical point of view, as long as Zhou Mo does not fail, even if she fails again, she can rely on Zhou Mo to save her.

"Don't worry, this movie won't fail so easily. Even though you are the only real protagonist of this movie, the development of the movie will undoubtedly be upgraded and evolved to be invincible.

The existence of this kind of script will not affect the excitement of the movie just because the protagonist is a woman. On the contrary, the audience may even pay more for your tickets because of your super handsome shots. "

After hearing this explanation, Da Tiantian felt much calmer.

"So how much do you think this movie will make at the box office?"

……

"So what do you think the box office of this movie is?"

Somewhere in a cinema.

The quartet of “Great Tang Poets” sat together again.

Among them, the Tang Dynasty poetry has confirmed that there will be a wave of fierce competition between each other.

They are Da Mi and Liu Shishi in the future, and the competition between Da Mi and Tang Yan around October.

What’s interesting is that the three of them didn’t even talk to each other when they met because of competition, but when choosing seats, they subconsciously sat together.

What’s even more interesting is that before choosing their seats, they all approached Liu Yifei without any prior arrangement, hoping to sit together.

At this moment, Liu Yifei was sitting among the three people, feeling the low pressure from the people around her, and felt a little panicked.

But then I thought about it.

She found that there was no need to panic.

"Why should I panic? They are just a few underachievers..."

Thinking of this, Liu Yifei straightened up instantly and asked the same question as before.

When the Tang Dynasty Poetry trio heard the question, they stopped insisting and started discussing the box office.

"Since Zhou Mo dares to release 'Lucy', it is absolutely guaranteed. The box office will definitely be higher than 'The Swordsman'. In addition, the market is also developing now, so it will probably be around 500 million." Da Mimi said relatively conservatively.

Da Tiantian and she are also competitors.

She didn't want to be left behind before "Tiny Times" was released.

But what Da Mimi takes into account, Liu Shishi and Tang Yan have none of them.

These two don't need to compete with Da Tiantian.

They just compete with Da Mimi and that's all.

"It's more than 500 million. The script of Lucy is actually very cool. Except for the fact that the heroine was bullied a little in the beginning, she was invincible throughout the whole process, investigating and evolving all the way. For such a pure commercial film, I feel that an additional 60 or 70 million in box office revenue would be just a drizzle." Tang Yan was very envious of the script of Lucy.

It is obviously a very direct and concise popcorn script.

Even so, there are still many directors in China who cannot shoot this kind of film.

When it was Liu Shishi's turn, she added: "It should be able to break 600 million. The technology of Lucy is really strong. It feels better than many previous European and American special effects blockbusters. To be honest, there are still a lot of fans in China who will pay for this special effect alone."

Liu Shishi knows the level of Zhou Mo's special effects company best.

"Huashan" also used the technology of Zhou Mo Special Effects Company.

This is also the reason why Liu Shishi is very confident in defeating "Tiny Times".

Before the four of them could come to a conclusion of the discussion, the plot had already reached the point where the heroine of "Lucy" was locked in a room, and the gangster played by Zhou Mo made physical advances towards her with a lustful look on his face.

As a result, he was knocked out by the heroine.

The four girls had different reactions when they saw this scene.

Liu Yifei and Yang Mi were shocked that Zhou Mo could play the role of a lustful hooligan so realistically; his eyes and expression were just like the real thing.

I wish they had this talent.

Isn't it easy to become the best actress?
Liu Shishi and Tang Yan had both seen this look before.

Therefore, my feeling about Zhou Mo's performance in this plot is——

What acting skills or not. It's just acting naturally.

"Pooh!"

By coincidence, the four of them fell into an eerie silence.

at the same time.

There were also sporadic discussions in the cinema, such as "It's very similar", "The acting is really good, it's like the old version of "Three Kingdoms", the feeling when 'Chu Yunfei' meets Diao Chan", "It's so vivid, I was mesmerized at first sight" and so on.

somewhere.

Jiang Wen pointed at the screen and said to his wife, "See, I told you this guy is not a good guy. When he played the role of Lao Wu, he insisted that he was a virgin. Now he looks like an old driver who has been driving for at least five years. How can he still be a virgin?"

Zhou Yun rolled his eyes at him.

"That's because Xiao Mo acted well. He was able to perform that feeling even without touching her. It's nothing like you. When you touched the county magistrate's wife, did you feel comfortable?"

Jiang Wen: ...

Why can’t you control your mouth?
Why are you talking to her so much?

Another place.

Director Sun of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" heard the reactions in the theater and laughed silently.

Director Sun is not an old-fashioned person.

Not only did he not object to some of the "ambiguous" plots in the movie, but on the contrary he was very optimistic about them.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have added so many outrageous contents to "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

only……

"Is this where the young man Zhou Mo is confident? He is still young after all, using this kind of slightly erotic plot to attract the audience. The idea is indeed good, but it is still not enough. In comparison, it is obvious that Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains is more skilled in this...right, Huazai."

Liu Dehua: …

So painful.

I want to cry.

Can two movies be the same?

"Lucy" adds a little color to the movie plot.

And you wrote a little bit of the movie plot in the colors.

And the color isn't that good.

After a while.

As the movie progresses.

The plot gradually unfolds.

The special effects of the movie gradually began to appear in front of everyone.

Many of the actors who were there just to watch the movie went from being careless at first to becoming serious and then stunned when they saw the special effects.

Special effects of this quality.

Such a smooth performance.

Perhaps it is not as good as "Avatar" which was released a few years ago.

But the lesser ones, like the first few superhero movies, are already comparable in level.

As an actor, at least you have this level of appreciation.

In addition to the actors, others including the director and CEOs of several investment companies also had different reactions.

Wang Changtian came here today with his assistant.

The first thing he thought about when he saw the movie was how much this special effect cost, how much say Zhou Mo had in the special effects company, and whether his company would have the opportunity to use it.
"Check the situation of this special effects company."

Unexpectedly, the assistant seemed to have been prepared for it and directly gave Wang Changtian a series of information.

Wang Changtian:?

"How do you know so clearly?"

Assistant: "These are the messages that Director Zhou sent us before. He even proposed to sign a long-term cooperation contract with our company, but you..."

Wang Changtian frowned: "What happened to me back then?"

Assistant: "You were indeed tempted at first, but then you thought that movie special effects should still be looked to Hollywood, so you put these things on hold."

Wang Changtian thought about it and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

then.

"Nonsense! How could I possibly reject Director Zhou? Xiao Li must have failed to convey my meaning to me. I clearly said that I wanted to sign a long-term contract with Director Zhou!"

assistant:……

彳庍口巴.

You are the boss.

You have a big dick.

Whatever you say is what it is.

"Then Boss, what should we do now?"

"What should I do? Wait until the movie is over... Never mind. After the movie is over, there will definitely be a lot of people looking for Director Zhou. Please find a time for me. I want to discuss cooperation with Director Zhou in person."

The same conversation happened in many other places.

Many bosses and directors discovered that Zhou Mo had actually contacted them before to see if there was any need for cooperation.

But most of them didn't take it seriously.

Now they are starting to regret it.

According to Zhou Mo's character of taking advantage of others, the price he negotiated would be much higher than the original price.

But special effects are a zero-sum game.

If you don't use it, someone else will.

When many people use it, the rest will have to be used.

孽 孽!
For a time, many bosses began to feel sorry for the money in their pockets.

Except Huayi.

Because Zhou Mo never looked for them.
