Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 341: Invisible Guardian Casting, Sakura Comes

Zhou Mo looked at the young lady's graceful back, wondering who should be the male lead in "The Invisible Guardian".

Reason told him that at this point in time, Huo Jianhua was the best choice.

His acting skills are more than enough for filming a TV series.

The flow rate is enough.

In the past two years, Lao Huo has become extremely popular.

No.

To be precise, Lao Huo has been very popular in recent years.

People in the circle like to say that Lao Hu is popular, but because the Sugar Man Temple was too small and Cai Yinong kept making trouble, Hu Ge had a period of silence in the middle. He only lived a "second life" after finding an opportunity.

Old Huo pulled it full all the way.

While there is traffic, there are also many good works.

Until he came across "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".

When this work was broadcast in the previous life, it almost destroyed Lao Huo's reputation.

The whole drama, not only the lines but also the characters, is like a bipolar patient.

Coupled with the competition among actors, Lao Huo's reputation plummeted during that period.

'As big as the legend, as big as the legend...'

Zhou Mo suddenly wondered if Lao Huo had a conflict with the word "Da Ru" -

In fact, this is not the first time that Lao Huo has faced a character crisis in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".

Before this, he was almost criticized to death because his wife attended a charity dinner but did not donate any money while doing business.

Later, the studio urgently announced the news that Lao Huo had actually been doing charity all along, but had not made it public. Some donation slips were also attached, which helped to get rid of the bad reputation.

And Lao Huo’s daughter-in-law Lin Xinru.

It's also considered big.

The only problem now is that Zhou Mo and Huo Jianhua’s cooperation is not deep at present.

"It seems that I have to find a way to start a deeper cooperation with Lao Huo." Zhou Mo thought silently.

It just so happens that he has actually already prepared the script for "The Disguiser", but he has no plans to start filming at the moment.

In the second half of the year, when the company's resources are freed up, let Lao Hu and Lao Huo each take on a project to see who has more traffic and fans.

To be honest.

During the filming of "Entertainment Circle", Zhou Mo was a little tired of the fights between female stars, and now she wants to watch the competition among male stars.

A moment later, Liu Shishi walked out of the bathroom, her hair wet and with a faint steam rising from it.

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhou Mo told Liu Shishi about his idea of ​​temporarily choosing Huo Jianhua.

"Old Huo? Sure." Liu Shishi blinked and accepted the follow-up task directly: "Don't worry about this. Leave the contact with him to me."

Zhou Mo nodded.

This is the benefit of letting Liu Shishi start his own company.

He only needed to explain many things, and he could leave the rest to Liu Shishi to exercise his subjective initiative.

If it were in the past, Liu Shishi, who was still a lazy person and liked to lie down all day except for work, even if she wanted to do these things, she probably wouldn't know where to start.

"By the way, what about the other candidate?" Liu Shishi asked.

Just now Zhou Mo had introduced the main characters of "The Invisible Guardian" to her.

The male protagonist Xiao Tu is a strong and brave underground worker.

The classic scene is: My wife is as pure as ice and as innocent as a chaste girl, my stepfather is upright and incorruptible and has no interest in women, and I, Zheng Tu, have absolutely never worn a hat.

(Throws hat!)

The heroine, Lu Wangshu, is a beautiful reporter and underground worker.

The heroine Zhuang Xiaoman is a bad woman. On the surface, she is a staff member of the Wang Puppet Government, but in fact she is an underground worker of the Qingtian Bairi.

The heroine Fang Min is Xiao Tu’s classmate. She has misunderstandings with Xiao Tu, but they also cooperate with each other. She silently protects the lives and information of Xiao Tu and his wife.

The female character, Junko-chan, is as her name suggests.

Zhou Mo thought about it and said to Liu Shishi: "Lu Wangshu is definitely yours. Of course, if you want to play Fang Min, you can, but the plot should be less, there is no need for that.

As for Fang Min, just find someone who is the same age as you.

As for Junko-chan, I do know some actresses at Sakura, so I can just call them over. It’s better to get the original Japanese bitches.”

Liu Shishi always has a smiling face.

After listening, he asked, "What about Zhuang Xiaoman? You must have some ideas, right?"

Zhou Mo said innocently, "Actually, this role is more suitable for Wang Ou, but I have other plans for Wang Ou. She has an equally suitable role in another project, so I won't choose her...

Why, do you have a choice?"

Liu Shishi smiled and said, "Of course, the most suitable person for the role of a bad woman is of course Tangtang. Considering the traffic, is there an actor more suitable than Tangtang?"

Zhou Mo hammered his palm.

"That's right! Shishi, you are really smart. You thought of a candidate so quickly!"

Liu Shishi: …

Itchy teeth.

She snorted, "Come on, stop pretending. I know you wanted to choose Tangtang from the beginning. She is really good at playing the role of a bad woman.

It doesn't matter, I don't have any opinions, you can just say it. "

Zhou Mo smiled but said nothing.

Just say you have no opinion?

Only Xiao Chuannan would believe such words at this time.

Anyone with a little experience knows that at this time, all you have to do is play dumb.

Of course you can just say it directly.

But you can't let your children starve.

"Shi Shi, I really didn't think of Tang Tang just now. You reminded me, but since you think she is good, then I will listen to you.

I've entrusted this matter to you, so I trust you 100%, keep going!"

……

Three meals a day.

The next morning.

Zhou Mo returned to the company.

Today is not only the premiere day of "Victory is Justice 2", but the company will also hold a press conference as usual before that to promote the show.

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Mo would never participate in this kind of promotional activities.

Anyway, the process is basically fixed.

The main creators of the crew came up to say a few words, then took some photos, took a group photo, accepted some interviews, and read the script.

Afterwards, let the major websites release the news, and that's it.

The impact on the TV series broadcast is not that big. What really works for the publicity is actually the bribes that have already been paid to various "heroes".

That is the advertising fee.

Of course, the above only applies to other crews.

The crew of Shanhe Company is not that troublesome.

With two promotional platforms, Lizhan Entertainment and Little Blue Book, "Victory 2" had actually been arranged long ago.

And today, Zhou Mo made an exception and participated in the promotion.

There are special guests here.

Yui Aragaki, Masato Sakai.

The cooperation on "Li Gou Hai" has been completely negotiated.

It is expected to be released in the middle of this year.

Therefore, according to the contract, Yui Aragaki and Masato Sakai need to come and promote "Victory 2".

Correspondingly, when "Li Gou Hai" is broadcast half a year later, Da Tiantian and Guo Jingfei and others will also go to Sakura to promote it.

Of course, the main force is still Da Tiantian.

Compared to the rest of the crew, her reputation in Sakura is greater than that of everyone else in the crew combined.

After the press conference.

Zhou Mo met with Yui Aragaki and Masato Sakai.

"Yui-chan, long time no see."

"Director Zhou, long time no see." Yui Aragaki bowed and saluted.

Zhou Mo corrected, "Hmm? Yui-chan, didn't you agree to call me hubby-chan?"

On the side, Masato Sakai's eyes widened when he heard this.

He majored in Chinese literature at Waseda University and passed the Band 4 Chinese test early on.

Therefore, I have no burden at all for Chinese.

After hearing this, I immediately had an impression of Zhou Mo.

He is worthy of being the one who could write the character of "Zhang San", he is indeed very abstract.

I guess only someone with this kind of "indifferent" personality could create a character like "Zhang San".

Yui Aragaki glanced at Zhou Mo with a hint of resentment.

really.

Director Zhou’s habits are still as bad as ever.

Zhou Mo turned his head and looked at Masato Sakai: "Hello, Mr. Masato Sakai, I have seen your performance in "Hanzawa Naoki". Your acting in it is very good. You can find a balance in the atmosphere of the Taiga drama actor. It is really outstanding."

Sakai Masato raised his eyebrows.

I have a new understanding of Zhou Mo in my heart.

Many people like his "Hanzawa Naoki".

However, there are very few foreigners who mention "Taiga Drama" for the first time in a conversation.

It seems that the young director in front of him is not only abstract, but also knowledgeable.

I exchanged a few polite words with Masato Sakai.

Masato Sakai found an excuse and left.

Only Zhou Mo and Aragaki Yui were left.

Yui Aragaki had already calmed down and thanked him again, "Director Zhou, thank you for choosing me as the heroine of Li Gou Hai.

In addition, the firm has entrusted me to express my gratitude to you for helping me in the competition with Yamei. "

Aragaki Yui spoke these two sentences in Chinese, very fluently.

It seems that he had trained a lot before.

Zhou Mo didn't quite react.

To lend a helping hand in the competition between Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa?

when.

How come he doesn't know.

He glanced at Yui Aragaki and asked calmly, "So far, how is the traffic of you and Masami Nagasawa in Sakura?"

“I’m definitely more popular since last year.

The agency told me that this was the result of you immediately targeting The Crossing after returning to China last year, so thank you very much!"

Another bow.

Zhou Mo understood. So that's what was happening.

If you think about it carefully, although he was a sniper at the time, no, it wasn't even a sniper, he was just complaining to Han Sanping about the bad movie "The Crossing".

It was all Wu Baige's own fault. He rushed up and ended up being slapped in the face by him.

I didn't deliberately try to help anyone.

But in fact, it did help Yui Aragaki and the agency behind her.

So it's okay to say he did it.

I do = I do.

The equation is solved in seconds.

Zhou Mo looked at Yui Aragaki's grateful expression and asked with a smile: "So how do you feel now that your popularity has increased?"

Aragaki Yui: "Although I don't have to win the competition with Masami, I'm still very happy if the popularity increases."

Good guy.

It's clearly poor Chinese.

But the way he spoke, the flavor of his daily life was almost overflowing.

Zhou Mo immediately added: "How happy are you?"

Aragaki Yui: “Ah?”

Why don't you play by the rules?

Zhou Mo looked at Yui Aragaki's confused look and waved his hands: "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore, let's change the subject. I helped you so much, how are you going to repay me?"

"I will definitely give a good performance in "Li Gou Hai"!"

Zhou Mo stared at Yui Aragaki: "Yui-chan, you are not being honest. You guys shot Li Gou Hai, it has nothing to do with me."

Aragaki Yui's face turned red when her little thoughts were caught.

Although I was a little nervous, I still mustered up my courage and said:

"Then, Director Zhou, please tell me. I will definitely try my best to complete it."

Zhou Mo laughed when he heard this.

"What I want is your words."
