Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 367 Who are you going to look for?
Listen to Zhou Mo's complete script.

Huang Xiaoming began to feel hot all over.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he has acted in many bad movies.

But of course you can tell whether the script is good or bad.

After he carefully recalled the cleaning process, he found that Director Zhou's description of the film was really good.

"An art film with commercial characteristics."

The whole movie is not like commercial films that can make the audience spend money happily, but the storyline is very exciting.

The spiciness is like an onion, and every time you peel off a layer, the audience will be hooked.

Especially the last storyline, when the disguises of the four people were exposed, they went from being harmonious with each other at the beginning to harming each other, but they were discovered by each other. The action taken by the four people was not to turn against each other, but to immediately shake hands and make peace and continue to cooperate.

This result is so exciting that people who watch it for the first time can't help but exclaim.

If we say that everyone was honest and honest at the beginning, and everyone was wearing a mask, then when Huang Xiaoming heard that the first person, Hao Qingbai, had a car accident, he already had some vague guesses about the outcomes of the subsequent people.

The four people boarded the ship again and started their cooperation for the remaining fifteen days.

Even he didn't expect it.

Moviegoers have always liked this kind of reversal.

Because it gives people a very exciting feeling.

Moreover, not only the audience likes to watch it, but the judges also like to watch it.

Commercial films make money, and art films, especially realistic ones that reflect human themes, are more likely to win awards. This rule applies all over the world.

And this movie is exactly what those directors like.

Even though Huang Xiaoming has not won many major awards at this stage, he has many connections.

He actually knows what the judges like, what they hate, and what their hobbies are outside of movies.

"There's a 10 percent chance that this movie will win an award," Huang Xiaoming made the decision immediately in his mind.

No matter what, this movie is a must-see.

What's more, this movie is full of satire.

It is a realistic portrayal of some people.

The only problem is that Huang Xiaoming has no idea who this movie is really satirizing.

He thought for a moment, lowered his voice, and quietly asked Zhou Mo: "Director Zhou, let me ask you something. The name of this movie is "Returning Home". Which country is this so-called return to?"

This question also represents what Huang Xiaoming admires most about this movie.

Because, whether it is returning to the University of Tokyo or returning to the United States, the logic of the movie actually makes sense.

It is easy to see that the person who “returned” to China was returning to the University of Tokyo.

After all, the central theme of the movie from beginning to end is that a few white-collar villains are preparing to return to China to start a company, but in fact they are going back to make money.

But if "returning home" is understood as returning to the United States, there is no problem with that.

As mentioned at the end of the movie, the gang's plan failed, so they plan to regroup and go back to the beautiful and repeat the same trick.

This is also homecoming.

But this will also cause a problem.

The second situation is naturally that you are good, I am good, and everyone is good.

But if it is the first type, it is easy to be led by others.

Zhou Mo glanced at him and said something silently.

“The truth is not important, the stance is the most important, it all depends on how you want to understand it.

There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people. I can't control what everyone thinks. I just need to control how the crew promotes it."

Huang Xiaoming was completely convinced.

It seems that Director Zhou has taken all circumstances into consideration.

Even the last possible loophole has been plugged. When the movie is finished, the real promotion will only require promoting what you want, leaving no room for attack.

Moreover, as long as the latter explanation is released, even the official will help to take sides.

Huang Xiaoming has already sensed it.

In recent years, public opinion has been gradually adjusted.

The "reading style" of the past, which always regarded others as good and oneself as bad, is gradually disappearing.

Therefore, once this movie was made, it naturally had the correct stance.

"Also, Director, I have another question."

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows: "Do you have a few more questions? Don't forget that today is the press conference for your "The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber". You still have to go up and speak later."

Huang Xiaoming smiled awkwardly.

I was so absorbed in the movie just now that I forgot about the important things for a moment.

But making movies is also serious business.

He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't ask all the questions in his mind at once.

"It will be fine soon. Just one last question."

"explain."

"The main characters in our movie are all villains. Chengcai and Wenrou are very obvious. One stole things and even angered his father to death. The other one was just using someone else's chicken to lay eggs.

But Hao Qingbai and Zhen Xin didn’t seem to stand out. In fact, they were both treated as tools throughout the whole process.”

Huang Xiaoming actually just wanted to ask about Hao Qingbai.

After all, the image of the male lead and the second male lead determines that he will play that role.

From the current perspective, although he and Hao Qingbai also counterattacked in the end, Chengcai is obviously more powerful than Hao Qingbai in terms of personality, whether it is setting a trap for Chengcai or disguising the bills.

If Hao Qingbai didn't have a more eye-catching performance, he would still prefer to play Chengcai himself.

Let Chen Kun play the role of Hao Qingbai, and he himself tricked him into paying a debt in the play.

Just thinking about that feeling makes me excited.

Zhou Mo instantly guessed what Huang Xiaoming was thinking, but he actually hoped that Huang Xiaoming would be able to love Hao Qingbai. After all, at the beginning of the script, Hao Qingbai's role was to be a "rich and affectionate person (licking dog)".

It is similar to the leader's temperament in real life.

Zhou Mo smiled and explained: "Don't worry, since I mentioned four white-cutting blacks, there won't be any obvious problems. Brother Xiaoming, you can think about it. Since the other people's stuff is fake, why do you think that the technique that Hao Qingbai is best at is real?"

Huang Xiaoming's eyes lit up.

Zhou Mo continued, "In addition, when I explained the plot to you just now, I also specifically said that Zhen Xin only heard half of the conversation between Wen Rou and Hao Qingbai. What about the second half?

Zhen Xin said she wanted to help Hao Qingbai pay off his debts. How could she, a person who had fallen from grace, help Hao Qingbai? In addition, Hao Qingbai himself said that the target had been hooked, and the target was Chengcai. What do you think this means? "

Huang Xiaoming slapped his thigh.

"I see. It turns out that these two people have cooperated at this time. That's why he dragged Zhen Xin to go with him to find Cheng Cai, just to create an opportunity for Wen Rou."

Zhou Mo nodded.

Although the movie has a No. 1 and No. 2 male lead, and a No. 1 and No. 2 female lead, in fact, the highlights of the four characters are relatively evenly distributed, and there are no unbalanced characters.

Including Zhen Xin, the second female lead is no pushover either.

According to the setting, she was "framed" for stealing, but that's not entirely true.

Because she really steals.

Therefore, she had "accidentally" seen Hao Qingbai's situation before, because she had been keeping an eye on Hao Qingbai and had gone to observe him in advance.

Anyone who has stolen something knows that you must scout the area before stealing.

This is the quality that a veteran should possess.

The secret of Hao Qingbai was discovered during the scouting process.

In addition, the experience of Zhen Xin donating money to the orphanage was also fabricated by her.

Huang Xiaoming was conflicted after listening to Zhou Mo's explanation.

From this point of view, the character of Hao Qingbai is also very outstanding.

And it really suits him to play the role.

After thinking for a while, I decided to put it aside for now.

First ask about the arrangement of the female roles: "Director Zhou, what about the two female protagonists? Do you have any plans?"

As soon as Zhou Mo heard his tone, he knew he had something to say.

"Why, you want to recommend your girlfriend again?"

Huang Xiaoming waved his hands repeatedly as a sign of loyalty: "Of course not, I know her current level is not good enough..."

"Who would you like to recommend?"

"Director Zhou, what do you think of Yuanyuan?" Huang Xiaoming asked tentatively.

"Big American dollars?"

Zhou Mo thought for a moment and felt that it was not impossible.

Although Da Meiyuan's acting skills are definitely not as good as the best ones of the same age group, but since she was noticed by Brother Kaizi back then, her acting skills must be up to standard.

Brother Kaizi has such a good taste.

What's more, Da Meiyu's two classic characters, Zhou Zhiruo and Liu Sheng Piaoxu, are actually both white and black.

"Director Zhou, what do you think?"

"It should be OK. In fact, I was wondering if it would be exciting if one of us chose Da Mei Yuan and the other chose Yuan Quan."

Huang Xiaoming's legs went weak and he almost knelt down to Zhou Mo.

"Director Zhou, you can't make such a joke. These two people are definitely not in the same crew."

Zhou Mo looked at him with disdain.

"Look at you, what's the matter with you? Are you and Chen Kun and Xi'an together again?
It is when people like these, who are known to have conflicts both inside and outside the circle, film together that people feel full of anticipation.

Brother Xiaoming, tell me the truth, when you heard my idea just now, from the perspective of a spectator, didn’t you feel it was very exciting? "

Huang Xiaoming really wanted to say no.

But he couldn't fool himself.

He did feel that would be exciting.

Finally, he nodded slowly: "Yes, it is really exciting."

"Yeah, then do you want them to act?"

Huang Xiaoming looked around and there was no one else around.

In that case, he didn't bother to hide it.

"miss you!"

"it is good!"

Zhou Mo smiled and patted Huang Xiaoming on the shoulder: "In that case, then this difficult task is handed over to you, Brother Xiaoming, you must let them act in the movie."

Huang Xiaoming: “Hmm… hm?”

What happened.

What did I say?

He was stunned for five full seconds before he realized what task Zhou Mo had just assigned him.

Instantly, cold sweat broke out on his face: "Director Zhou, I can't..."

"No, you can."

Zhou Mo pinched Huang Xiaoming's shoulder with one hand, turned on the video on his mobile phone with the other hand and clicked play.

This was exactly the expression Huang Xiaoming had when he heard "Da Meiyuan and Yuan Quan started fighting."

"Brother Xiaoming, you don't want this video to be leaked, do you?"

Zhou Mo shook his phone and a devilish smile appeared on his face.
