Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 317 Don't go, they have kidneys there
Wu Baige is very powerful.

Among the group of Chinese-language film directors, Wu Baige may be the one with the most votes in terms of who has the greatest international reputation at the peak of his field.

Although since "Windtalkers", Wu Baige was driven out of Hollywood and his international status plummeted because of the box office failure of his movies, which directly caused MGM's stock price to plummet.

But thanks to Han Sanping's life extension——

He paid a high price to invite people back to film "Red Cliff", gave them money and people, and called a group of top stars to play supporting roles. This actually gave Wu Baige, who was gradually falling into decline, a much higher status.

So, even though "Red Cliff" was filmed poorly, it didn't make any money.

But in the Chinese film industry, Wu Baige still has a very high status.

In fact, in many people's minds, he is currently the number one director in the Chinese film industry.

So, when Wu Baige took the lead in the charge, the media, especially the Hong Kong media, instantly jubilated.

The ultimate showdown between "International Director" and "Director Killer".

This is the name given to this incident by the Hong Kong media.

It has a bit of a chuunibyou vibe to it.

Among them, "Director Killer" is Zhou Mo's new nickname.

Given that every time he made a movie, he would clash with at least one director and kill that director directly, his nickname changed from "Rising Star Director" to "Director Killer" at some point.

Zhou Mo was very dissatisfied with this title.

"They are slandering, slandering!"

"That's right, you're not that cruel. Why would you use other directors as sacrifices..." Da Tiantian immediately shared the same hatred and gave Zhou Mo an identity recognition.

"I have killed quite a few actors, why don't they say anything?" Zhou Mo finished the rest of the sentence.

Da Tiantian: ...

She was careless.

I actually thought Zhou Mo was angry because the nickname was too dark.

He clearly felt that the nickname wasn't dark enough.

"Instead of spending time here worrying about nicknames, you might as well think about how to respond to Wu Baige. He is very dissatisfied with you this time."

Zhou Mo frowned: "Wu Baige is completely sick. I haven't even criticized this Lao Deng before, but this guy actually dared to pick a fight with me. I'll kill him later."

Da Tiantian stared at Zhou Mo with her eyes wide open without saying a word.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?"

"The second half is correct, but the first half is not."

"Something's wrong."

"You actually said you never blackmailed him."

"How did I blackmail him?"

"Last time when you went to China Film Group, didn't you say that all the movies he made were rubbish and asked President Han not to invest in The Crossing? As a result, he could only look for investors everywhere. Doesn't that count as you blackmailing him?"

Zhou Mo smiled.

The beginning is a Soviet joke.

“How did I blackmail him, because I told him the truth about his situation.

"The Crossing" is just terrible, and it's lazy in every way. Whether it's the content or the idea, it's all terrible.

I'm helping him by not letting China Film invest in him, so that he won't be found out after the filming and then be punished by Lao Han."

Although when Wu Baige finished filming "The Crossing", Lao Han was actually already a retired person.

But don’t treat retirees as cadres.

If Wu Baige still dominates the international market like he did in his peak period, retired old Han will really not be able to deal with him.

But it is obvious that Wu Baige is not.

So since "The Crossing" in his previous life, Wu Baige has basically completely withdrawn from the mainland market.

Da Tiantian's mouth twitched.

"Then he should thank you."

Zhou Mo thought about it and nodded in approval.

"You're right, Tiantian. This old man really has to thank me. With Wu Baige's current situation, if he stops making movies, he might be able to maintain his position. After all, as long as he doesn't leave, he won't lose face.

So this old guy should have been filial to me like he was to his father after all the help I gave him, but instead of doing so, he tried to provoke me. He is doomed this time. I say, even the king of heaven cannot stop him. "

Zhou Mo became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and immediately logged into his account to start exporting.

This unfilial son must know why the flowers are so red.

When Da Tiantian heard Zhou Mo mention the word "Dad", she secretly spit in her heart.

Why does this guy like being a father so much?

Necrotic.

After a while.

Zhou Mo edited the message and clicked send.

Da Tiantian picked up her phone to read the content.

There are only three paragraphs in total.

"You old man, you are so shameless. You made bad movies and made the investors lose all their money. You have been losing money from Hollywood to China. Now you are biting like a dog when you can't get investment? If you envy me for getting investment everywhere, just say it directly. Why don't you dare to tell me the reason? Are you too old to be tough?
Since it's already weak, just keep it weak. Don't make grandiose promises when you want investment, only to have the movie turn out to be a pile of shit.

In addition, our company will launch several new films next year, and all actors who think they have enough ability are welcome to audition in our company."

The three paragraphs each have their own function.

The first paragraph directly tore off Wu Baige's mask.

It's not a righteous statement.

It is not even about a leading figure speaking for the development of the industry.

He is simply an old guy who couldn't get any investment. When he saw that others were picky about the things he begged for, he lost his defense and started cursing.

The second paragraph directly warns all investors that "The Crossing" is a "supported defense" certified by Zhou Mo himself, and those who do not believe in it can just invest.

The third paragraph is simpler.

It's just recruiting people.

There is absolutely no other meaning.

Zhou Mo is a gentleman who has always believed in the principle that harmony brings wealth.

We have never engaged in any malicious competition.

So, he just put out some projects, and if you are willing to come, you can come, and if you don’t want to come, forget it. There will definitely not be any situation where you have participated in "The Crossing", then you will never have the opportunity to participate in my movie again.

After sending the message, Zhou Mo let out a sigh of relief, with an intoxicated look on his face.

"Hey, Tiantian, how many people in this world are as good as me? I won't ban you or put you on the blacklist." Big Tiantian: ...

What about the face?

How dare you say such things?

"You don't ban or blacklist people. After all, if someone offends you, you will take them to court and bankrupt them. Why would you need to ban them?"

Zhou Mo was heartbroken.

"I correct their cognition, improve their level of understanding, and guide them to be positive and kind. After doing these things, I collect some teaching fees.

Tiantian, it’s okay for others to misunderstand me, but I didn’t expect you to misunderstand me like this. Tiantian, you really disappoint me.”

Da Tiantian retched twice.

"Okay, stop talking. It's really disgusting. Besides, I almost vomited the food I ate last night."

Zhou Mo: "Impossible, you didn't eat last night, so you should have absorbed what you ate."

Da Tiantian: ...

Can't be angry, can't be angry.

The one I chose in the first place.

No matter how hard or tiring it is, you have to keep going.

at the same time.

After Zhou Mo's message was sent out, it immediately caused quite a stir.

Everyone had the first reaction after watching it.

He is truly worthy of being called Zhou Mo.

Just do it.

Not ambiguous at all.

The spectators are the happiest, as they can see the blood flow like a river.

In addition, in just a short period of time, Zhou Mo's opponents have changed from Ye Weixin at the beginning, to Lu Tailang later, and then to Du Qifeng, the Little Cannon.

Now he is facing Wu Baige.

Each time bigger than the last.

One is more powerful than the other.

It's really fucking exciting.

The reactions of investors in the industry are much more complicated.

When Yu Dong heard Zhou Mo's speech, the first thing he thought of was the experience of taking in Du Qifeng, but being cheated by Du Qifeng.

Originally, every time I thought about this matter, I felt extremely depressed.

But now, when I heard that Wu Baige was rejected by China Film Group and got in touch with Huayi Wang and Da Wang, which means that Da Wang and Da Wang are also likely to be cheated, I suddenly felt happy.

"Big and small king, hey hey, big and small king!"

Many times, happiness is achieved through comparison.

It doesn't matter if you live a very good life, as long as others live worse than you.

……

China Film.

Han Sanping looked at the mark he had made on the calendar.

Less than five months.

She was about to leave this position under her butt.

By then, all history will become a thing of the past...

No wonder!
Han Sanping slammed the table, very dissatisfied with Zhou Mo's speech.

If you want to criticize Wu Baige, just do it. Why mention him for no reason?

When "Red Cliff" flopped, he was talked about and ridiculed by people in the industry for a long time. It has been a few years now and it should have been a thing of the past, but now that Zhou Mo mentioned it, his dark history has been brought up again.

"This Zhou Mo, he keeps bringing up all sorts of issues..."

Han Sanping wanted to call Zhou Mo. This kid has been a little too active lately.

He was talking to Chaoyue on Weibo, pretending to be Lu Tailang's father, criticizing Wu Baige, and even bringing up his dark history.

As a result, before the number was broadcast, my daughter called.

"Hey."

"Hey, Lao Han, help me call a few people. I have a few scenes here that need some veteran actors. They need real talent, not those who are just filling in the numbers."

Hearing his daughter's request, Old Han's facial muscles softened instantly.

"Entertainment Circle" is almost finished filming.

He has now seen part of the work-in-progress.

The effect is very good.

His daughter is now his pride.

So he tried his best to meet any request his daughter made.

"Okay, no problem. Jia Nu, do you have anyone you particularly want? Can Teacher Li Xuejian do it? And Chen Daoming and the others, I will return them to you."

"Old Han, you decide. I can do anything."

Han Jianu didn't dwell on it too much, and then added, "Also, don't interfere too much with Senior Brother. Wu Baige did you a big disservice last time, so don't speak for him."

When Han Sanping heard this, his eyes widened.

"Jia Nu, did Zhou Mo call you?"

"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. The next scene is about to start filming."

He hung up the phone with a click.

Han Sanping stared at the phone in silence.

……

Huayi.

The big and small kings are having a meeting.

Both of them looked a little ugly, because Zhou Mo's words were almost telling all investors clearly.

"Don't go to Wu Baige's place, they are biting my kidneys."
