Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 283 The Great Tang Poet, Weird and Eccentric
The premiere of "Huashan".

The process is old-fashioned.

Zhou Mo did not go to greet the guests this time.

It’s not because he doesn’t need to do these things, but his reputation these days is a bit scary, which can easily put people under pressure.

Backstage.

Zhou Mo and Jiang Wen were chatting.

"When are you going to shoot "Cold Wind"?"

"August, what's wrong?"

"My production of One Step Away will basically start at that time. Let's discuss the time, and then you can come to my crew to make a guest appearance?"

"OK, no problem."

"By the way, do you want to go to Sakura for your photo shoot this time? I can introduce some friends to you then."

"Oh? Your friend?"

"Hisaishi Joe, the one who plays the piano."

Jiang Wen's tone was calm, but Zhou Mo could hear a hint of boasting in his words.

Zhou Mo felt a little emotional.

After all, he is an old hand. In the field of film, which is just a small field of his, he knows people all over the world.

"It's fine to get to know him, but I heard that Hisaishi Joe is particularly annoyed with you. Not only did you ask him to write a piece that surpassed Mozart, but you also used the same piece in two movies. It's like eating two bowls of noodles but only paying for one bowl. Hisaishi Joe doesn't even want to pay attention to you."

When Jiang Wen heard this, he immediately retorted.

"Nonsense, I have a very good relationship with Hisaishi Joe. As for 'The Sun Also Rises'... that's called reasonable use. Hisaishi Joe charged me so much for a single song. Not to mention that I used it in one movie, I should have used it in several more movies."

Zhou Mo smiled but said nothing.

……

Not far away the two were talking.

The "Great Poets of the Tang Dynasty" gathered together again and started chatting.

This time, the relationship between the four was no longer as gentle as it was at the premiere of "Lucy". Instead, they were on the verge of a fight and full of risks.

"Congratulations, Shishi. You finally have a movie with a main role. I wish you good results. We female stars don't have many opportunities, so you must cherish them." Da Mimi smiled.

Liu Shishi sighed and said, "Don't mention it. I'm so nervous now. Unlike you, Mimi, you have already started working in the film industry a long time ago."

Da Mimi was not willing to be outdone and waved her hand.

"Hey, it's not worth mentioning. I'm just hanging around in the domestic entertainment industry. The real talent is Xixi, who has already made a name for herself internationally."

On the side, Liu Yifei's eyes flashed.

Taking advantage of Yang Mi's words, he immediately said, "My movie is nothing, Mimi. Your movie Tiny Times grossed 80 million on the first day. I may never reach this figure in my lifetime. It's almost making history."

Da Mimi said modestly: "Don't mention it. It's useless no matter how good the opening performance of Tiny Times was. It couldn't maintain the performance later. This shows that the reputation of the movie is not good. In comparison, your Four Famous Detectives had a much better reputation than mine."

Liu Yifei's chest swelled on the spot.

Her reputation for "The Four" is actually not that good.

Compared with "Tiny Times", it is actually the relationship between the eldest brother and the second brother, and no one should laugh at anyone else.

Moreover, the most crucial point is.

The box office of "The Four" was just over 100 million yuan, which is far less than the final estimated box office of "Tiny Times" of over 300 million yuan.

It's like not only getting criticized, but also not making any money.

Liu Yifei's eyes rolled and she came up with a new plan.

"At the end of the day, movies are movies, and actors are actors. The reputation of The Four may be slightly better than that of Tiny Times, but the situation you had to fight against three other actors alone was really enviable. Even my agent said that you were extremely popular at that time."

Da Mimi stopped breathing.

She still remembers clearly the time when she was targeted by fans of three young actresses.

It's so scary.

I've never been targeted to that extent.

The point is she doesn't even know who's blasting her.

The chaos of fighting between fans in the entertainment industry is too great.

Even if it is a fight between fans of two stars, there will be a large group of people of unknown origin who will intervene in the fight, watching the show and setting the pace.

These people may just be spectators.

It is also possible that they are fans of stars other than the two fighting stars, pretending to be fans of one of the two to provoke a fight.

This time, Da Mimi was forced to challenge three companies alone.

A big fight between four fans.

It's already a mess. There are also fans of other stars who come in to stir up trouble, and fans of three people, two people, or one person who are pulling in the middle.

For the specific complexity, you can refer to the shocking scene of fans fighting each other after the three little ones of the "tf" family became famous.

And this time, Da Mimi's was even more shocking than tf.

In addition to this, there are even those who are fans of all four of them, or those who are not fans of any of them but are simply more lustful and hope that the four of them can live in peace.

As a result, as soon as the comment was posted, it was blocked by fans from four groups.

Yang Mi glanced at Liu Yifei.

Everyone in the world knows that Liu Yifei’s agent is her mother.

The two of them were being sarcastic to each other, and you actually called their parents?
It's just so cunning!

But she was not without a solution. She curled her lips downwards and her expression turned into one of annoyance: "Alas, I actually would rather not have this wave of traffic. The means of competing with others are too uncomfortable.

I actually envy you, Sissi.

You don’t have that much to do in the crew, and there’s no competition between you and Jiang Yiyan…”

Liu Yifei's face turned green.

You are bringing up something that is not related to the topic.

The incident in which Jiang Yiyan backstabbed her on the show "A Date with Luyu" has now been made into a GIF and circulated on major entertainment websites.

But she couldn't refute it yet.

After all, she was the first to break the rule.

the other side.

The atmosphere between Liu Shishi and Tang Yan was relatively peaceful.

Both "Huashan" and "Zhu Xian" are produced by Shanhe Company, and the competition between them is within a controllable range.

But that doesn't mean there's no competition between the two.

This is just that the "Tang Poetry" duo does not compete for the movie.

The two of them were fighting over “people”.

Tang Yan: "Shishi, I wish you a successful start this time. Mimi is right. People like us who are 'traffic stars' don't have many opportunities to gain a foothold in the film industry."

Liu Shishi: "You too, Zhu Xian will definitely be a success."

The two of them ended the conversation politely and officially entered the sarcastic phase.

Tang Yan: "Shi Shi, I'm actually quite envious of you. When filming Huashan, Zhou Mo would visit your crew even before going to Cannes, and even directed for a while. In comparison, Zhu Xian was far behind, as we did it all by ourselves from beginning to end."

Liu Shishi: "Your crew is pretty good too. Zhou Mo personally negotiated for "Zhu Xian" and made changes based on the original novel when adapting it. I remember that Bi Yao seemed to be very famous among the fans of the original novel, but Zhou Mo insisted on doing it."

The words stop here.

The two smiled at each other.

Masters compete with each other, until the point is reached.

……

After a while.

The guests are all here.

As usual, Zhou Mo sat in the corner with Liu Shishi.

No one was around.

Liu Shishi quietly held Zhou Mo's hand, enjoying the feeling of security coming from the person next to her.

"Ming Ge hasn't smiled at all in the past two days. He asked me to tell you that from now on, whenever you ask him to film a work, no matter what it is, he will only ask for a basic living allowance. If you don't ask for anything else, it means you are looking down on him. He has even prepared a contract."

Zhou Mo burst out laughing.

Did not expect ah did not expect.

Even Lao Pan, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, has learned to please others.

"Then I'll go look for him later... Also, how are you feeling now? Remember to go on stage and give a speech after the movie is over. Don't get too nervous and forget your lines."

Liu Shishi rolled her eyes at him.

"Don't worry, I'm actually fine. I was a little nervous just now, but now I'm not panicking anymore. The movie is about to start showing anyway, and there's no point in panicking."

The voice just fell.

The movie officially begins.

Although the movie is named "Huashan", the beginning of the movie is not about Huashan, nor about the Five Mountains Sword Sect, Wudang, Shaolin, Sun Moon Sect and other martial arts figures.

But the court.
