Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 333 You are suitable to play the clown

De Niro is here.

I greeted De Niro and gave him a hug.

"Hey, Zhou, congratulations on winning the box office championship again over there. Jiang kept praising you on the phone!"

Zhou Mo smiled.

"Your performance was not bad either. The box office of Last Vegas should have exceeded $130 million. If a friend of mine hadn't told me about you, I would have forgotten that you are a master in comedy!"

"Last Vegas", four old men who have won Oscars and whose combined age is over 200 years old, get together to laugh and make a comedy, and it earned over 100 million at the box office.

De Niro spread his hands, his expression calm.

"Nonsense, I am the most powerful comedy master in the contemporary film industry, so when you asked me to watch Lost in America, you were right."

Zhou Mo suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Really? But I heard some people say that your performance in "Last Vegas" is not as good as Morgan Freeman, or even Kevin Kline."

When De Niro heard this, he became anxious.

"Shit, this is slander. How can that old guy Freeman act better than me? His performance during filming was terrible. Many times I even needed to explain the scenes to him. What the hell!"

A group of people around looked at De Niro's frustrated expression, and his white hair, but they scolded Freeman as an "old thing"...

It seems like there is no problem?
De Niro continued to vent. He looked at Zhou Mo with an unhappy look on his face: "Zhou, you must tell me which sour carrot bitch told you this news, I will twist his head off and stuff it into my ass.

Hey!
You actually said I'm not as good as Freeman!"

After saying that, he asked Zhou Mo one more question.

"Zhou, fuck! Am I using this correctly?!"

Zhou Mo: ...

He, Da Tiantian, and Pei Chunhua looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Da Tiantian subconsciously asked: "Deni, where did you learn this word?"

De Niro: “Oh, sweetie, of course it’s Jiang, after he knew I learned the word WTF from Zhou, he said several more words to me.

Not only that, I also know that in your country, the word "艹" has different tones and can represent different meanings, a total of four. "

Da Tiantian didn't pay any attention to De Niro's subsequent explanation.

She only heard De Niro calling her Tiantian, and immediately looked at Rosamund Pike.

Check it out!

Even De Niro, whom I only knew for two or three days half a year ago, can pronounce my name. Hey, it's been half a month and the tone of your name is still not right.

Rosamund Pike: ...

Although Da Tiantian didn't say a word, she understood the latter's meaning.

Zhou Mo also saw this look and felt helpless.

If Da Tiantian, this iron-headed girl, could have such rich emotions in her eyes when filming, she would have a chance to win not only the three gold medals in China, but even the three gold medals in Europe.

"Zhou, you haven't told me where you saw the news." De Niro's voice brought Zhou Mo back to reality.

Zhou Mo just said it casually, but he didn't expect De Niro to get anxious on the spot.

Who says successful people don’t have a competitive spirit?

It's nothing more than not bothering with ordinary people, but you still have to compete with people of similar status to yourself.

Brother Dong will not have any conflicts with ordinary people.

Even though netizens joked that Brother Dong wore a yellow jacket because of a two-minute incident.

But when he argued with Jack Ma, he never held back.

Zhou Mo casually picked one from the major social platforms on the Eagle Sauce side.

De Niro looked surprised.

"I knew that guy's propaganda base was on that platform."

Zhou Mo didn't respond.

He coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Well, we have talked for long enough. This lady has been waiting for so long, why don't you introduce her?"

De Niro nodded.

Let’s put aside the “grudge” with Freeman for now.

The two people who introduced Margot Robbie to everyone were mainly Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian.

Europe and the United States also have their own circles. Since Robbie finished filming "The Wolf of Wall Street" with Leo, he has entered the circle. De Niro was Leo's big brother back then, so De Niro brought Robbie here this time.

Margot Robbie.

This person seems to have a more mature style, but in fact he is not from the same generation as Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian.

She is definitely a post-90s generation.

Born in 90, debuted in 08.

In less than five years, he took over good works such as "Time Traveler" and blockbuster works such as "The Wolf of Wall Street".

However, her real peak came ten years later with "Barbie".

The global box office is over 1.3 billion US dollars.

So, when Zhou Mo saw Robbie for the first time, he suddenly felt the same long-lost feeling as when he met the beauties in The Chinese Paladin III during the filming of The Chinese Paladin III.

It's a kind of satisfying feeling of collecting stamps before the other person becomes famous.

Of course, this feeling also appeared when I met Da Tiantian six or seven years ago.

It was just that she was the one who was being fucked by the sweet girl.

Then, Da Tiantian was completely bewitched by this "succubus".

When Robbie was chatting with De Niro just now, her eyes were full of curiosity when she looked at Zhou Mo.

A few days ago, she had actually done some research on Zhou Mo.

Although this professionally trained director in China has not yet made a name for himself internationally, he is already well-known in China.

Apart from that, there were two things about Zhou Mo that really surprised her.

One is age.

Zhou Mo is only two years older than her, and at a young age he has already topped the Chinese box office. There are also many famous Chinese or Chinese-American directors in the United States.

The most famous one is Ang Lee.

Oscar winner.

In addition, there is Lin Yibin from the "Fast and Furious" series.

There is also Wu Baige, who once created brilliant achievements but later returned to China in despair.

But someone as young as Zhou Mo is the first one.

The second is the stability of Zhou Mo’s performance.

Since its debut, the box office of each movie has been steadily increasing.

Although he has not yet achieved any results in terms of awards and honors, he has surpassed countless directors simply by virtue of the steadily increasing box office.

Whoever directs has his ups and downs.

What's more, film making is divided into commercial and artistic. It is not easy to always make good films, and it is even more difficult to keep the box office rising.

Therefore, Robbie actually has similar ideas as Zhou Mo at this stage.

Make friends with this "potential stock" in front of you!
Although Robbie didn't know the name "potential stock", the relevant principle is applicable all over the world.

She glanced at Da Tiantian who was standing beside Zhou Mo.

Just look at this one.

The heroine of "Lucy".

A soft science fiction film, it earned over 1 billion in East Asia and Southeast Asia alone, equivalent to over 150 million US dollars in box office revenue.

If it could be screened worldwide, the box office revenue would be unimaginable.

Robbie has seen "Lucy". All the male and female protagonists in the whole show are irreplaceable. The most important thing is the director.

The director says you can do it, and it’s okay if you can’t.

If the director says you can't do it, you can't do it.

Robbie made a decision in her heart that director Zhou Mo had to have her full cooperation.

It would be best if I could lock her down and make her my official heroine.

If you can't do that, at least sign a few more contracts.

"It's great to meet you, Zhou. You are the most talented young director I have ever met."

Zhou Mo and Robbie shook hands lightly.

"You too, Miss Robbie. To be honest, I am a fan of yours."

"I wonder which movie of mine you like, Zhou?" Robbie didn't take it seriously and just asked casually.

“The Wolf of Wall Street, of course.”

Robbie felt a little lost.

This kind of words are more like politeness. She has heard too many similar words since "The Wolf of Wall Street" was released two days ago.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" is good, but it is a personal show of Leo, and everyone else, including Naomi, is just a foil.

Seeing this, Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Besides that, in my mind, Robbie, you are very suitable for the role of a famous comic book I have read."

Robbie's eyes lit up: "Oh? Which character?"

"Harley Quinn."

Harley Quinn.

That is Harley Quinn, the little follower of the famous psychopath Zhou Keer.

He was originally a psychiatrist, working in the famous tourist attraction building, the Asylum, in Arkham City, a city with many talented people and beautiful scenery. He was responsible for the treatment of the green-haired Zhou Keer. Unfortunately, after a conversation with Zhou Keer, he happily joined the Joker gang and started his own joyful life journey as a mental patient.

Of course Robbie knows about Harley Quinn.

Some of them pointed at themselves without reacting: "Director Zhou, are you saying that I'm suitable for playing Harley Quinn?"

Superhero movies are in full swing right now.

The global box office of "Avengers 1" exceeded billion US dollars, which is simply explosive.

Apart from some artists who don't like superhero movies, who else doesn't want to be in it?
Moreover, at this point in 2013, superhero movies were not just the work of Marvel, DC was also performing quite well.

The Dark Knight trilogy, directed by Nolan, achieved both great success and great reviews.

Although "Man of Steel" saw a slight decline, it still had a box office of over 600 million US dollars.

Zack Snyder is currently in a very high-spirited state and is in a honeymoon period with Warner Bros. The two sides have not yet fallen out.

So, when Robbie heard Zhou Mo say that she was suitable to play Harley Quinn, she was really happy.

If this were to happen a few years later, when DC reboots crazily, with a lot of cuts and reshoots, directors and companies arguing with each other, and actors being put in jail, and you tell a popular star, "Hey, friend, I think you're suitable for a DC movie," who knows what the other person would think.

I have no grudge against you, why do you want to harm me?

Robbie was very happy because other directors never said she was suitable for the role of Harley Quinn.

Director Zhou Mo is truly worthy of his name.

Good vision.

Thinking about it this way, I feel more and more that I should deepen my cooperation with Zhou Mo.

Before she could make any move.

De Niro suddenly said.

"Hey, the last person is here?"

"Who?"

Zhou Mo looked into the distance and sure enough, another car drove over.

A smooth white man walked down.

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows.
