Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 295 I have been in Beijing for so many years and have made so much money

The acting competition between Zhou Mo and Jiang Wen not only became popular among the entire crew.

It even spread back to the country.

A discussion about the acting competition between the two spontaneously formed on the Internet. Although no video or audio was leaked, news about the two of them still became a hot topic the next day.

It’s just that the name of the hot search is a bit strange.

"Bandit vs. Virgin."

This trending search is actually the title of a video.

A fan of both Zhou Mo and Jiang Wen on the site made a mashup video of the line "I heard that you all have special skills" from Let the Bullets Fly and the scene in New World where Zhou Mo plays Li Zicheng and joins the Korean gang and becomes the gang leader.

The content is that Zhou Mo, as the "Fifth Brother", accepted the teachings of the "bandit Zhang Mazi" and finally made something of himself.

But Zhou Mo was very unhappy with the title of this video.

"Why is it in the title of the video that I am a virgin?"

Jiang Wen laughed at the side and said, "Why, now you don't say you are a virgin?"

Patting Zhou Mo's shoulder, he said, "Xiao Mo, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should exercise moderation. Young people shouldn't be too indulgent, otherwise you will regret it one day."

Zhou Mo sneered: "Is this what Director Jiang said from experience?"

Jiang Wen's eyes widened.

Zhou Mo turned around and called for help.

"Hey, Senior Brother Lu, we're here to film."

In the distance, Lu Fangsheng heard Zhou Mo calling and immediately ran over.

"Director Zhou, Director Jiang."

Zhou Mo coughed lightly and said, "Brother, Director Jiang will be leaving in the next two days. We have to shoot the scene quickly. Are you ready?"

Lu Fangsheng had a bitter face: "Directors, I'm ready."

Jiang Wen still tried to protect the face of director Zhou Mo in front of others.

Although I was so angry that my teeth itched, I just wanted Leng'er to spend my whole life with you and turned my head away from Lu Fangsheng.

"Now that you are ready, let's go."

When Lu Fangsheng heard Jiang Wen's tone, he thought that his previous performance did not satisfy Jiang Wen and made him angry, so he became even more panicked.

"Director Zhou, I..."

Zhou Mo patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, he doesn't have a problem with you."

Lu Fangsheng felt relieved, but before he could catch his breath, he heard Zhou Mo say, "But it doesn't matter. If you don't perform to his standards, he will still be dissatisfied with you."

Lu Fangsheng: ...

It seems that I can't get over this hurdle today, right?

After all, they were his employees. After Zhou Mo provoked them, he comforted them again: "But you don't have to take it too seriously, Senior Brother. Director Jiang is such a person who strives for perfection. Working with him will be demanding, but you can also get a good improvement...

There aren't many opportunities to work with Director Jiang, and this is all I can get for you, so you must treat me well."

These words made Lu Fangsheng's heart surge.

Half an hour later.

Lu Fangsheng sat there, the bitterness on his face becoming even stronger.

Just now, Jiang Wen, who was feeling unhappy, seemed to be invincible and suppressed Lu Fangsheng.

He was abused three times in a row by Jiang Wen, to the point where he could hardly speak properly.

Zhou Mo shook his head.

Some things cannot be forced. Not everyone has the talent of Huang Xiaoming, who can force a 50-50 split at all times.

We really can't ask too much of Lu Fangsheng.

Patting Lu Fangsheng on the shoulder, he said, "Brother, it's okay. Your current condition is actually somewhat similar to that down the mountain. Take a rest for a while and adjust your condition..."

Lu Fangsheng suddenly looked up.

"It's okay, Director Zhou. I want to try again."

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"

Lu Fangsheng nodded: "No problem, although I was still suppressed by Director Jiang just now, I do feel that I have improved. Director Zhou, let me try again."

Jiang Wen, who was smoking next to Zhou Mo, gave him a wink and Jiang Wen nodded.

"Okay, let's take a few more shots."

Two days later.

Jiang Wen boarded the plane back home.

In the end, the scene between him and Lu Fangsheng did not outperform the one between him and Zhou Mo, but Lu Fangsheng had done his best and met Zhou Mo's requirements.

Anyway, the relationship between the two in the play is that Lao Lan has a somewhat condescending teaching relationship with Shan Xia from beginning to end, so it is not abrupt that Lu Fangsheng's performance is a little weak, and it is not abrupt that he is suppressed by Jiang Wen.

Even if we promote it a bit, it can make people feel that it is more in line with the situation.

For this purpose, Zhou Mo went to see Lu Fangsheng.

“Brother, there will be a period of time in the future when the crew may use you as a raft to promote some of your performances that are not good enough, that did not satisfy Lao Jiang and me, and that were not as good as Lao Jiang and I’s auditions, in order to attract audiences to watch the movie.

But before the movie is released, the crew will restore your reputation and do some reverse publicity to send you some traffic. What do you think? "

When Lu Fangsheng heard this, he was not angry but quite happy.

"Director Zhou, I'm willing to go through fire and water. Don't even think about using me as a raft. Even if you have to trample me into the mud, I'm willing to do that."

With Zhou Mo's reputation in the circle, the nickname of never letting anyone suffer a loss is enough.

Zhou Mo looked at Lu Fangsheng's excitement with a strange expression.

Could it be that this guy got sick because he was beaten up by me and Lao Jiang these days?

……

Finished filming this segment about Lao Jiang.

The subsequent process is much easier.

More than a month passed quickly.

The plot of "Cold Wind" has basically come to an end with Sakura.

One day. The crew.

"The strong prey on the weak. This is the law of survival in this world. We are the powerful ones, the apostles of the Supreme Being, and those ordinary people are just lambs. They should devote everything to us."

"The strong prey on the weak?"

Leng Feng was stunned when he saw the crazy sect leader in front of him.

There is no such thing as persistence.

There was no such thing as an argument.

Yes, just one shot.

boom!
Gunshots.

People die.

The sect leader stared at the ceiling with empty eyes. Under his head, sticky blood slowly spread out like dirty sewage.

"The strong prey on the weak, so you die."

Whether it is "John Wick" or "Cold Wind", the style and rhythm of the movie are fast and fierce, and there is absolutely no fuss when it comes to action.

If I say I will kill your whole family, then even your dog can’t escape.

Zhou Mo certainly would not destroy his own Great Wall by adding some didactic plots to the film to highlight the justice of the protagonist and to convey the correct values ​​to the audience.

Every actor knows how annoying preaching is.

Although when the script of "Cold Wind" was approved, he did receive news that some "necessary" things had to be added to the film, otherwise even if the film was finally scheduled, its release might be affected to a certain extent.

When Zhou Mo first learned about this, he felt helpless.

Even Han Sanping had no way to deal with this matter which concerned the final release of the movie.

but now……

hum.

Wu Jing found Zhou Mo and said, "Director Zhou, didn't you say at the beginning that we wanted to add some extra content to this movie?"

Zhou Mo waved his hand.

"Don't worry, Brother Jing, it's okay."

"fine?"

Wu Jing was stunned, and then he saw Zhou Mo take out his mobile phone and find someone's number.

Dial.

"Hey, brother, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, Junior Brother, how is the filming of the movie going?"

Wu Jing reacted and found out who Zhou Mo was calling.

He pointed at his phone and lip-synced.

"Yes, that one..."

Zhou Mo nodded, signaling Wu Jing not to be nervous.

He continued on the phone, "I was just about to tell you, Senior Brother. The filming of the Sakura plot is almost finished, and I will be going back in the next few days. Senior Brother, do you have time recently?"

"Don't worry, there will definitely be one. I'll be there when the time comes."

The polite words were almost over, and Zhou Mo got down to business: "By the way, Senior Brother, there is something related to the movie that I need to tell you in advance."

"what happened?"

"When I was reviewing the movie script, some people told me that it would be best to add some reasoning to the movie, otherwise it would encounter some setbacks when it is released. But you also know the style of our movie, so..."

The priest understood and said gently, "I understand. It's okay, Xiao Mo. Just focus on filming. Other things will not affect the film."

Get it!

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows, said a few polite words to the priest, and then hung up the phone.

As soon as she put down her phone, Wu Jing immediately said mysteriously, "Director Zhou, that person is really willing to help us solve these problems."

Zhou Mo said with a smile: "What do you mean by 'we'? The priest and we are originally a team. Since we are a team, then we are a big family, a family!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jing immediately cooperated and gently slapped herself on the mouth.

"Right, right...I said it wrong, it's the team."

He is still not as shameless as Zhou Mo, who can easily evolve the crew to the level of family.

He said with some emotion: "But to be honest, Director Zhou, I originally thought that even if you knew the priest, you would not ask him to handle these matters. After all, it is not easy to establish a relationship..."

Zhou Mo waved his hand.

“I’ve been in the industry for a few years.

Made so much money.

Got to know so many people.

Isn’t it just to avoid being troubled by some rules at critical moments?
Now is the time.”

Wu Jing had nothing to say.

He has been in the circle for so many years, but he has never been so free and easy.

It would be a lie to say that I didn't envy Zhou Mo's situation.

But he never thought about becoming Zhou Mo's state. At most, he thought that if he really made a name for himself one day, he would definitely free himself.

At least in some public occasions, you don't have to be so entangled, you need to look ahead and behind, and be able to express your department appropriately.
For example, he is not very interested in European and American superhero movies.

In his eyes, some domestic public opinions are actually very hypocritical in their attitude towards superhero movies and domestic action movies.

He couldn't stand this kind of behavior.

……

All the content for Sakura's movie has been filmed.

What remains is just to reshoot some unsatisfactory shots a few more times.

On the set one day.

Zhou Mo had just finished his work when Zhang Jin brought him a message.

"Director Zhou, the company we agreed to bring the female star here."
