Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 303 Zhao Xiaodao
Lin Gengxin turned his head and saw a short, cute girl with a round face.

"Liying, good afternoon."

"Hello Director Zhou, hello Brother Lin." Zhao Xiaodao said with a smile on his face.

Of course Lin Gengxin knows Zhao Liying, and the two are still working together. In this "car dragging uncle with hat" incident, she plays the role of a lawyer who gives advice to Lin Gengxin, teaching him how to avoid going to jail and get rid of responsibility as much as possible.

In other words, the character she plays is not a good person either.

"Liying, it turns out that you are the one who starred in "Before You Come"?"

Lin Gengxin felt much more relieved instantly.

During the time he worked with Zhao Liying, he basically realized that this girl had a hard-working spirit and was striving to climb the ladder.

There is no ambiguity in filming.

Lin Gengxin really appreciates this kind of personality. At least he doesn’t have to worry about girls with this kind of personality starting to break up during the later stages of filming.

After seeing the behind-the-scenes situations of some popular actors in the entertainment industry, Lin Gengxin now really hates some "bad" actors.

It's okay to not work hard during promotion and just be cunning and sly.

He doesn't work hard during filming, and even doesn't want to go on the set. He reads his lines in 123456, and relies on dubbing for the rest. His main focus is to take a break whenever he can.

Name the angel baby.

Well-known in the industry.

Fortunately, Zhao Liying is not that kind of actor. Her acting skills may not be that good, but they are not making a movie. Her acting skills are good enough as long as she doesn't act out of character.

"I am also honored to work with Brother Xin. I will trouble you more in the future." Zhao Liying said with a smile.

After Lin Gengxin left.

Zhao Liying sat on the chair and expressed her gratitude to Zhou Mo.

"Thank you Director Zhou for giving me this opportunity..."

Zhou Mo waved his hand.

"It's okay, you deserve this."

Zhou Mo waved his hand and made a joke: "In fact, I observed the night sky and knew that you, Liying, will definitely have a great development in the future, and it is very likely that you will not be inferior to the current ones. That's why I invested in you in advance, so as to avoid waiting until one day in the future when you are successful and famous, and it will be difficult to cooperate with you."

Zhao Liying waved her hands in surprise.

"Being able to work with Director Zhou is my greatest luck since I entered the industry. Director Zhou, please don't say that you won't contact me. No matter how my future development is, as long as Director Zhou gives the order, I will go through fire and water to do it."

Zhou Mo smiled when he heard this, but didn't say anything.

Ever since meeting Zhao Liying last year, this girl took the initiative to contact Zhou Mo and expressed her hope to establish a long-term cooperative relationship.

At that time, she had not yet met Yu Zheng, and naturally had not come across "Legend of Lu Zhen". She proposed to cooperate with Shanhe at an ultra-low price.

Zhou Mo has no objection.

This little flower is destined to become famous in the future, so don’t miss it.

As for whether there will be any rift due to the contract one day, it is not a problem at all for Zhou Mo.

Although it is said that in the entertainment industry, there is no such thing as "as long as I sign the contract, the other party will always be satisfied with the initial contract price."

Falling out with one's former boss or the mentor who discovered one for money is not even considered a big deal in the entertainment industry. It is a classic phenomenon that happens every now and then.

Not to mention far away.

When Huang Shengyi left Zhou Xingxing's company, he even staged a scene of shedding tears in order to show that he was the victim.

After all, isn't it all about money?
But Zhou Mo has more than just Black Eyes. Whether it is the output of Shanhe Company's projects or its ability to create stars, it has always been others who admire Shanhe, rather than Shanhe making concessions to retain people.

So far, Zhou Mo has signed contracts with about 10 to 20 celebrities.

The only person who actually asked him to pay more money was Wu Jing.

After all, in the Chinese entertainment industry, Wu Jing's development history is too unique, his achievements are too good, and he has also been given priority investment rights in future film shootings.

Everyone can do the math to trade a contract worth a few million for a movie that grosses billions.

Apart from that, no one needs Zhou Mo to give a chance.

The pleasantries are over.

Zhou Mo asked: "By the way, you asked me about the development path before, hoping that I could give you some advice?"

Zhao Liying nodded repeatedly, with a hint of helplessness on her face.

"People in the industry say that Director Zhou Mo is very accurate in his predictions. Now is the perfect opportunity. I'm here to ask Director Zhou for help...

I have been in the industry for several years and have played many roles, but I have never played a big role. So I want to ask Director Zhou how I should develop, or even what kind of personality can make me more popular? Or what can I do to get more traffic? "

Zhou Mo felt a little emotional.

As expected of Zhao Xiaodao, his desire to "progress" is obvious.

I remember that neither Liu Yifei nor Tang Yan were so direct when asked about their development.

This is the first time something like this has happened to Knife Girl.

However, this is also related to the fact that Zhao Xiaodao has never been very popular before.

Zhou Mo thought for a while and said, "To be honest, Liying, I think your current direction is actually pretty good. Whether it's small and exquisite or quirky and weird characters and personalities, domestic entertainment is more interested in such characters.

Since Jang Nara left Korea, there has been a lack of actors of this type in the domestic entertainment industry, and you now have a large potential fan base."

Zhao Liying: "But I've played some roles in this direction before, but they were never very popular. I was promoted by the company several times, but it never became popular."

There are rumors online that Zhao Xiaodao is being ignored by Huayi and cannot get good resources. There is some truth in this, Zhao Xiaodao is not the top resource in Huayi, but to be honest, it is not as outrageous as what is said online, as if he is being put on ice.

In fact, Huayi had too many cards in the past few years, and after Zhao Xiaodao pushed it several times, it still didn't become popular, so it was better to push the limited resources to the top stars.

Zhao Liying said: "To be honest, Director Zhou, because of my appearance, my acting range is not very wide. I have tried some other types, such as Liuli in "Palace Lock and Bead Curtain", but to be honest, it's not very good... Sometimes I wonder if I'm really not suitable for the entertainment industry."

Zhou Mo shook his head.

"I think you played Liuli very well, even better than the roles in all your other movies, which is why I chose you to play this 'unscrupulous lawyer'..."

Zhao Liying's surprise is hard to describe.

"Really? Director Zhou, I've always felt that I'm not suitable for a role like this. When the movie was released a few months ago, the reputation of the character Liuli was even a bit bad."

Zhou Mo shook his head.

"Don't underestimate yourself. I do think your role is good."

In fact, he even felt that the role of Liuli was the one with the best acting among all the roles that Zhao Xiaodao would play in the future.

If she really waited until she became famous, she would be busy and had no time to polish and focus on her acting skills, so her acting skills would not be so outstanding.

Zhao Liying continued, "Now that you've said this, I think I can develop in this direction in the future..."

Zhou Mo reminded, "I think you should first think clearly whether you want to become more popular or improve your acting skills. I just said that you Liuli acted well, but I didn't say that you Liuli will become popular."

"what?"

Zhao Liying had a deep sense of disappointment on her face, and she muttered, "I still prefer to be more popular... It would be great if I could improve my acting skills and become more popular."

Zhou Mo: "It's not impossible."

Zhao Liying's eyes lit up.

"Director Zhou, do you have any ideas?"

"Well, it's enough to make a movie like "New World" like me."

Zhao Liying: …

Why do you want to hit someone so much?
Zhou Mo made a joke and felt very happy.

"You said that you had performed in the play "Funny and Strange" before, but it was not popular enough. I think on the one hand it was due to publicity, and on the other hand it was due to the relationship between the protagonist and the supporting role. The role of "Funny and Strange" is easier to attract people when it is the protagonist. Once it is a supporting role, it is easy to not stand out enough.

You can continue to act in this direction. You have just signed a contract with our company, so you will get more publicity opportunities. When you star in "Shan Shan Lai Chi", the amount of plot will also increase greatly. So don't worry, keep calm. "

Zhao Liying nodded.

Apart from anything else, Zhou Mo's explanation to her using Jang Nara was indeed very thorough. In fact, she herself is more inclined to follow this path. After all, she has already gone some way in this direction. Path dependence does exist.

Get out of your comfort zone and work hard for a while.

Stay in your comfort zone and be happy forever.

……

After Zhao Liying left, the news of her cooperation with Zhou Mo spread quickly.

There are no secrets on the set.

No matter who you have a good relationship with, or a bad relationship with, or who you cooperate with, or who you have a close relationship with, there are basically no secrets.

It's just that everyone knows it tacitly and doesn't announce it to the outside world.

After all, who hasn’t had a time when they feel confused and distracted by love, right?

The next two or three days.

Zhou Mo met several more actors.

They all heard the news about Zhao Liying's cooperation with Shanhe Company and came to express their hope to reach a cooperation and sign a contract.

Zhou Mo selected a few sincere ones and signed the contract.

Until the end of September.

Zhou Mo returned to the company.

Da Tiantian looked confused as she watched Zhou Mo visit the set of "Entertainment Circle" and bring back a stack of contracts.

"You... went out to rob?"

Zhou Mo knocked her on the head twice.

"How much does a robbery cost? This contract alone is worth at least several million. Robbery is nothing compared to that...

This is called the ability to judge people. I think these people on the contract have extraordinary talents and are capable of great success, so I signed the contract with them in advance, which will save a lot of trouble in the future. "

Da Tiantian did not deny Zhou Mo's opinion.

"But there are too many problems. Can you arrange them?"

Zhou Mo was very calm.

"There's nothing that can't be arranged."

Anyway, they will all become classic works in the future, so all we have to do is put them into dramas that will be popular anyway.

In other words, Zhou Mo signing the contract is equivalent to using the future resources of this group of people, giving them in the future, and then reaping their future value now.

It's really profitable.
