Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 37 Wuhu, take off!
The general content of the third and fourth episodes:
Zhao Kuo finally persuaded King Zhao not to go to Changping, but bad news soon followed. The State of Yan invaded the State of Zhao. Zhao Kuo had no choice but to decide to take a group of old, weak and sick people to the battlefield.

Xu Yi appears and discusses with his father how to help civilians during the war.

At the same time, the bad woman Zhao Ji learned that Qin Yiren was planning to escape, but he did not plan to take the women and children with him.

In desperation, the bad woman found an opportunity to find out news about Zhao Kuo through channels.

She is pregnant.

Children cannot live without a father.

In order to survive better, she has to find a "father" for her child.

The plots of these two episodes are not complicated.

It is mainly to show the characteristics of the main male and female characters——

Kind, strong, patriotic and upright.

And... good looking.

Yes, it looks good.

It has to be said that good looks, as the biggest feature of the entertainment industry, is the most attractive factor in attracting ratings.

Not even one.

How many bad movies can become popular simply because of the faces of the male and female protagonists.

Zhou Mo naturally would not miss such an opportunity.

One thing he adhered to throughout the entire filming process was:
The male and female protagonists must be photographed very well.

Even after the war scenes, when the hero was covered in mud and dirty, he still showed a temperament like "Sharp Brother".

Zhou Mo looked at Liu Shishi's face on the screen, which was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water, and felt extremely satisfied.

"I still need to find more female stars to practice with."

Early the next morning, Zhou Mo and Little Zhou Mo were woken up by Da Tiantian again.

On the phone, Da Tiantian said just one sentence and the ratings went up again.

3.98.

"What a 398! This viewership ratings increase even surprised me."

Zhou Mo felt the deep shock of the new year.

However, the shock was not over yet.

The ratings are still rising.

On the fifth day, the ratings of "Myth" officially exceeded 4.

The eighth day, breaking the fifth day.

On the ninth day, the ratings reached a staggering 5.38.

At the same time, the ratings of "The Myth" also came out.

8.7.

Seeing this data, countless professionals in the industry were dumbfounded.

Zhou Mo was also dumbfounded.

Many people he knew approached him and asked, "Director Zhou, how did you achieve such high ratings and such high scores?"

Zhou Mo complained: "I also want to know how it was done."

He originally thought that the ratings of "Myth" would be at most 5.5.

And it’s in the last episode, with the plot ending BUFF bonus.

This is already a bold idea.

As for Zhu, Liu, Hu and others, they would be satisfied with a ratings of 4.5.

Who could believe that the goal had been achieved before the plot was even halfway through.

Over a week, some people called to congratulate, some called to ask for advice, and some called to invite people.

One of the calls came from Zhou Mo’s class teacher.

The head teacher's voice was very serious: "Xiao Mo, tell me honestly, have you ever used any special methods?"

She was born in the 1960s and experienced the early days of the industry, an era of unity and seriousness.

Therefore, there is a kind of persistence in the industry.

Zhou Mo was helpless: "Teacher, I really didn't. To be honest, I never thought that "Myth" could be so awesome. You said its ratings would soar, so it soared, and you didn't even tell me in advance."

When the head teacher heard this, he laughed.

"I can rest assured that."

The two chatted for a few more words.

Before hanging up the phone, the head teacher reminded him again: "Xiao Mo, you have always been a talented child, and you will definitely have a bright future. Don't go down the wrong path, even if you walk slowly..."

Zhou Mo listened quietly to the head teacher's nagging until she finished speaking, then replied:

"Well, don't worry, teacher."

Although the call was over, the problem still existed.

Why is "The Myth" so popular?

Many companies gave their own analysis.

"The success of The Myth in terms of ratings is mainly due to the rising popularity of several leading actors. Among them, Hu Ge and Liu Shishi, as one of the protagonists of The Legend of Sword and Fairy III, brought huge exposure and traffic to the show while starring in The Myth. The skyrocketing ratings of The Myth once again proves that inviting popular stars to participate in the show plays a significant role in increasing the ratings." This is the report given by the actor management company.

"According to interviews and investigations, the success of "The Myth" in terms of ratings is inseparable from the fan base of the movie version. The singing of actors Cheng Long and Jin Xishan also brought amazing popularity to the TV series. From this, we can infer that the sequels of film and television works have a huge market."

This is the judgment made by some companies of Island Film.

In addition, there are comments from the novel company:

"There are many reasons why "Myth" has become a phenomenal hit, including popular stars and sentiments, as well as great advantages in subject matter and rigor. Nowadays, in the online literature industry, time-travel themes are common and have become a mainstream in the field of online literature. As the first recent film and television drama to adopt a time-travel setting, "Myth" has undoubtedly become the first work to take the plunge and has achieved huge success."

Once these views were disclosed, they sparked heated discussions in the market.

Zhou Mo read them all without missing a single one.

At first glance, they all make sense, but upon closer inspection, you will find that they each have their own focus.

Entertainment companies that engage in actor economy naturally hope that their actors will become more and more valuable, so they emphasize the importance of actors.

The achievements of Island Film in the past were very brilliant, so today when it is gradually declining, all practitioners naturally miss the past, so they emphasize the role of sentiment.

And novel companies naturally hope that their works can be adapted and sell well.

"It's all business. I want to do business too." Zhou Mo called the person in charge of the station and informed him that the promotion of "The Myth" could begin.

Zhou Mo’s goal is very clear——

We need to continue to increase our ratings.

The bet between him and Zhuangdiantai is layered.

A viewership rating of 4 is only the minimum requirement, and there are several levels of standards above this.

Every time you reach a level, you will earn a large sum of money.

At present, the money Zhou Mo earned from the gambling agreement is enough for him to buy two luxury cars in the future. When he goes out, he will drive a Maserati in the front and a Lamborghini in the back.

And he was riding a bicycle in the middle.

But Zhou Mo felt that it was not enough.

Who would mind having too much money?

The miser made up his mind: "I'm going to let the cushion lift feel the shock of spring."

Following Zhou Mo's order.

The promotion of "The Myth" on the website began to spread like a virus.

After giving the instructions, Zhou Mo put on his pants.

Just as I was about to watch the latest two episodes of "The Myth", there was a knock on the door.

Zhou Mo originally thought that Zhu Yilong was finally willing to come back.

open the door.

But he found a pretty figure standing outside.

Zhou Mo saw the figure clearly and was stunned.

"Tiantian? Why are you here?"

"What, not allowed?"

Outside the door, Da Tiantian was wearing a down jacket and light makeup on her face.

"How come? Please come in."

Zhou Mo stepped aside and took out a pair of pink rabbit-ear slippers from the shoe cabinet: "Here, they're yours. They've hardly been touched."

When Da Tiantian heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up for a moment and then disappeared in an instant.

Entered the house.

"Eat fruit? Apples, oranges, and pears."

"Cucumber! I've been cutting out sugar lately."

"Cucumbers are good, they are nourishing and beautiful."

"Pooh!"

When Zhou Mo finished washing, he turned around and found that Da Tiantian was lying on the sofa happily, covered with a blanket from the bedroom, holding a bottle of Coke in her hand.

"Didn't you say you wanted to stop eating sugar?"

“Sugar-free.”

"Even dogs won't drink diet Coke."

Da Tiantian said "huh", then took out the remote control from the sofa as if she was familiar with it, turned on the TV, changed the channel to the eight sets of cushions.

"You are really skilled at this, just like at home." Zhou Mo complained.

"Nonsense, this house was originally a gift from me to you." Da Tiantian rolled her eyes.

Zhou Mo: ...

　Have any book friends guessed the next movie?

　　What I said last time was not accurate, let me add one more thing.

　　To be precise, it’s not Hong Kong Films, but it’s related.

　　I am still looking for collections, follow-up reading, recommendations, and monthly tickets. Thank you all.
