Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 359 This time I’m going to ride on your face!
Ps: I'm not afraid of you all laughing at me for talking about Ah Chuan being shot the day before yesterday. I actually thought of this plot before it happened. It was really Ah Chuan, and he was really shot. I also buried a little bit of foreshadowing before that. If you want to see it, you can leave a comment. I'll write it down later and share with you the flash of inspiration I had before.

In response to critics' comments that "the movie is not real and has no logic", the comments from audiences who liked the movie "Cold Wind" were roughly as follows.

"Logic? I just watched a movie, and it's a berserker killer movie where a man can kill his way through a building, and you ask me for logic?"

"Reality? I've already seen Abe's downfall, what reality do I need?"

"No, there are really idiots in the movie who want it to be real? "Cold Wind" is not a documentary, and Zhou Mo has never said that he is shooting a documentary film, or a film that is completely close to reality. You don't have to be real about other content. You said it has to be real when Abe was defeated?"

"If you want to make it real, you might as well find the Intercontinental Hotel and the assassin organization first, and then you can say whether it's true or not."

"What's wrong with bragging? What's wrong with taking random photos? I just like to watch."

"If you like it, take a look. If you don't like it, get lost."

"Instead of frantically looking for movie problems here, why don't you think about why you guys can't accept such a murderous character appearing in Chinese movies?"

"A commercial action and gunfight movie has guns, action, and excitement, that's enough. Why does it need so much nonsense?"

"I watched it three times. I support Director Zhou."

"Why are foreign movies about superhumans and killer alliances not telling the truth? You don't tell the truth when you always want to kill the president of the United States. Now when you are shooting a movie called "Cold Wind", you tell the truth and start to consider logic? How despicable!"

The last message was suspected to be sent by Wu Jing using a secondary account.

Zhou Mo read all the comments. Although netizens were all supporting him, he always felt something was wrong.

Why do you all assume that the plot of shooting Qingming is just YY, and that the movie compromised and gave in logic for the sake of excitement?

is it possible.

Is this really the reality?
then.

Zhou Mo logged into a small account with quite a few followers and posted a comment.

"Everyone, is it possible that this plot of Qingming being shot with a gun could actually happen in real life?"

As soon as the comment was posted, a large number of followers came to comment.

"Why, you are also controlled by Tsukuyomi?"

"No, buddy, I know you're a fan of Zhou Mo, but I have to advise you, it's okay to be a fan, but don't flatter him too much, Zhou Mo won't see it."

"Brother, it's just a movie, don't take it too seriously. Maybe even Zhou Mo didn't take the plot seriously when he was filming it. We don't have to do this."

"It's OK to just enjoy the movie or something. If you take it seriously, you're just kidding. How could something go wrong for the Prime Minister of a country? You're still too young, brother."

“You can lie to your brothers, but don’t lie to yourself. After you lie to your brothers, they will just laugh it off. But if you lie to yourself, be careful that you will cry in the middle of the night without anyone to accompany you.”

Zhou Mo felt hurt after reading the comments.

Ugh.

He loved the wrong person.

……

Although he was ridiculed by netizens for a long time online, Zhou Mo lived a very happy life in real life.

Although he couldn't interfere in the matter of the "strictly selected list", Da Tiantian brought him news several times.

The decision from above has been made.

All those with conclusive evidence will basically be marginalized, and the time limit is usually within two to three years.

After all, processing cannot be done overnight, and requires following procedures and organizing materials.

Two to three years is already a very fast pace.

Some cases take longer than this period to be heard.

For example, the lawsuit between Bai Lianhua and Lao Pan is still ongoing.

Even though more than half a year had passed, and everyone knew that Bai Lianhua would definitely not win.

But this is the process, and we must follow the rules and regulations.

Following the rules and regulations is actually a good thing.

Without any worries, Zhou Mo returned to the crew.

The main creators of the crew sent their concern and congratulations.

Zhou Mo got the data. As of now, the movie has been released for 20 days and the total box office has exceeded 1.5 billion, which is less than a quarter of the initial expectation of 2 billion.

Judging from the current box office trend, achieving the goal is a foregone conclusion.

During the chat, Wu Jing suddenly said with emotion: "Director Zhou, to be honest, I didn't expect that based on my observations during this period and the conclusions given by the company, the group that likes our movie the most is actually young people.

Moreover, young people overwhelmingly outnumber all other age groups.”

Zhou Mo felt a little strange.

"Isn't this normal? What's your problem, brother Jing?"

Wu Jing was a little embarrassed: "I originally thought that young people nowadays are more impressed by the two-dimensional world of Sakura, so they really won't be interested in movies like ours.

After all, to be honest, there are indeed many works that have become world-famous since the late 20th century.”

Zhou Mo smiled and shook his head.

It is normal for Wu Jing to have this idea.

This is a typical case of an investigation failing.

Young people are more interested in the two-dimensional world, but liking the two-dimensional world and liking "Cold Wind" do not conflict with each other.

The main idea of ​​young people in the new era is that although I may like your work, it does not prevent me from cursing your mother or even wanting to kill you.

This kind of liking can, to some extent, be understood as, your stuff is really good, so give it to me.

what?
You said you wouldn't give it to me. Then don't blame me for taking it myself!

After listening to Zhou Mo's explanation, Wu Jing seemed to be thinking about something.

During this period, he never stopped polishing his script "Wolf Warrior".

Before, although Zhou Mo gave him some guidance, he still had many things that had not been finalized.

For example, confirmation of the audience group.

To a certain extent, figuring out the target audience of your film is the most important thing for a commercial film.

clap clap!

Zhou Mo suddenly clapped his hands.

"Everyone, I have something to announce."

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Zhou Mo.

“When John Wick was released, we had already reached a cooperation agreement with Sakura for the release of the movie.

And the content and achievements of "Cold Wind".

So, our movie will be released in Sakura in a few days.

You can emphasize this during the promotion period, and it can also increase the box office of our movie."

When everyone heard this, their first reaction was to be stunned.

WTF?

Showing in Sakura?
You heard that right.

Can this plot about Abe's downfall really be shown in Sakura?

"Director Zhou, aren't we being a little too aggressive by doing this?" someone asked.

"Of course it's exciting. If it wasn't, I wouldn't have put it up there over there with the cherry blossoms."

"Can our plot be shown in the theater? Isn't it a bit too explicit for the people over there?"

Zhou Mo did not answer this question immediately, but looked at Lu Fangsheng.

"Brother, you know more about this, please explain it to me."

Lu Fangsheng nodded and explained to everyone:
"In fact, the plot of our movie is actually nothing..."

"Huh?" Many people were surprised.

The prime minister has already collapsed, that’s not a big deal.

Lu Fangsheng explained: "It's really nothing, because there are many cultural works with larger scales, such as the most typical anti-war works, and in Doraemon, when the robot cat and the big bear heard that Sakura was defeated, they all raised their hands and cheered.

In terms of scale, our movie is actually not that big.”

"What about the element of the unified angle? Isn't it said that this group of people is quite powerful? Won't they stop it?"

Zhou Mo took over the conversation and handed Xie Nan a survey report.

“Yes, but it’s useless because there are indeed a lot of Sakura people who hate them and would love to see this group fail.

The unified role cannot stop Japanese people from liking this movie. If they like it, they will pay to watch it. If someone pays, someone makes money.

When it comes to knife music, no matter how powerful the unified role is, it can’t stop people from making money.”

Xie Nan took a quick look at the contents of the survey.

After a period of promotion, the reputation of "Cold Wind" has spread throughout Sakura.

After all, Abe broke down at the very beginning, and the movie was shot in many locations in cherry blossoms, so it is natural for cherry blossom residents to be curious.

After watching the movie, people found out that the troublesome character Tongyi was killed with a single blow, and they liked it more.

Now I have to watch it.

So, this time when "Cold Wind" was scheduled to be released in Sakura, it was not even Zhou Mo who took the initiative to contact the theaters in Sakura at the beginning.

He was the one contacted.

The above situation fully demonstrates that no matter who you are against, you can never be against money.

In front of money, what is a dime?

In the room, after Xie Nan explained the logic to the main creators in a few words, everyone immediately began to conceive of winter.

That evening, the news that "Cold Wind" would be released in Sakura had spread all over the Internet.

Netizens are celebrating again.

"Well, let's just live our lives like a fool. Not only will we take down their boss, but we will also let their boss see it!"

"Why do I like Zhou Mo? There's no need to explain the reason. Just based on his tough habit, he's so likable."

"I hope that people will not give a bad review to the movie because it will fail at the Sakura box office. After all, it is still a pleasant surprise to be able to take advantage of it. For this reason, I am willing to donate two more movie tickets for "Cold Wind"."

"That's right, I'll contribute two too. Director Zhou, just focus on the release. Don't be afraid. We will make up for the loss wherever it happens!"

In this atmosphere of public opinion, the box office of "Cold Wind" once again experienced a reversal.

The reverse increase of 30 million directly brought the box office back to 100 million.

It's outrageous.

In Da Tiantian's villa, Zhou Mo's expression was difficult to maintain.
