Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 389 Dragon Knight: Fans Eat First
“Has Cannes announced the list?

Ok.

The main competition unit.

Ok.

Gong GIRL.

Ok.

It will be announced after some time.”

Zhou Mo spoke to his assistant on the phone in a calm tone, but his slightly trembling hands showed that he was not so calm after all.

This is Cannes, after all.

One of the three major European awards.

An award that can rival the Oscars worldwide.

Its recognition is not on the same level as the three major domestic awards: Golden Rooster, Golden Statue, and Golden Horse.

Hang up.

Zhou Mo let out a long sigh.

Although he had anticipated this day long before filming "Gone Girl".

But after hearing the news, I still felt it was a little unreal.

aside.

As early as when "Cannes, shortlisted for the main competition unit", Tang Yan could no longer control her emotions, and she had to bite her fingers to prevent herself from making any sound.

Not only that, but his whole body was shaking, as if his cell phone was on vibrate mode.

After Zhou Mo hung up the phone, Bian could no longer control his emotions and pounced on Zhou Mo.

"Cannes! Zhou Mo! Cannes! Zhou Mo!"

"Okay, okay, don't get excited." Zhou Mo patted her peach lightly, signaling her to control her emotions.

However, Tang Yan acted as if she didn't hear anything and kept calling out over and over again.

"Cannes! Zhou Mo! Cannes! Zhou Mo!"

Zhou Mo: ...

"You're a repeater."

Tang Yan finally came back to her senses and saw her own posture and condition, her face turned red.

"I'm so excited. This is Cannes, an award that I may never get in my lifetime. Now that you can go, let me get some of that."

Zhou Mo said with a smile: "Don't be so anxious, it's just a finalist, whether you can win the prize or not is still unknown."

Tang Yan made a "tsk" sound, expressing her disdain for Zhou Mo's hypocrisy.

"Based on your calm state just now, I don't believe that you are unprepared. It is very likely that you have already contacted a lot of people in advance, such as Director Jia Zhangke. Am I right?"

Zhou Mo was stunned, and looked at the young lady on his body with a somewhat surprised look.

"you know?"

"Nonsense, I've always been concerned about how you're doing." Tang Yan lightly hit him twice.

"I know, thank you."

Zhou Mo nodded and hugged Tang Yan tightly in his arms.

The two of them lay on the sofa for a while, and Zhou Mo said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I promised to accompany you today, but now it seems I have to break my promise."

News in the entertainment industry spreads quickly.

I guess right now, the news that his film has been shortlisted for the main competition unit has already started to spread like wildfire in the entire circle.

In this case, socializing is inevitable.

And it is estimated to start at noon today.

So, the happy day that I had planned with Tang Yan was going to be ruined.

"It doesn't matter. Business is more important." Tang Yan shook her head, not caring about such trivial matters at all.

The main feature of Jianghu children is that they don't care about trivial matters.

She is not the kind of person who doesn't know the difference between the important and the unimportant.

"Just go about your business. When you come back with the award, you must compensate me." Tang Yan stretched out a finger and tapped Zhou Mo's chest.

"must!"

The two of them were affectionate for a while, and when Zhou Mo stood up, several calls came in on his phone.

Seeing this, Tang Yan didn't disturb him and went back to the room to pack up Zhou Mo's things.

A moment later, when Zhou Mo finished his call, Tang Yan had already packed her things.

"Bring everything with you."

"Thank you. I'll be leaving now."

Zhou Mo turned around and prepared to leave, but suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"and many more."

"what happened?"

When I turned around, I found that Tang Yan suddenly took out a set of clothes from behind her.

It was completely white, with a dragon head with a very long neck in the front and a long tail dragging on the ground behind it.

It is Bailong's costume.

"Tangtang, you are..."

Tang Yan's face was as red as a hot stove. She put on the White Dragon silently and took out another set of clothes. It was purple and black with red patterns, just like a magician's costume.

Looking at Zhou Mo, his eyes were filled with eagerness to try.

"Don't you want to be a duel king? Do you want to try out the feeling of being a 'dragon rider'?"

In an instant, Zhou Mo felt as if a ball of fire was burning in his chest, expanding and expanding, as if it was about to burst out of his throat.

"Isn't this a bet, betting on whether Da Mimi wants to endorse sports shoes?"

Why mention another woman at this time?
It’s really confusing!

Tang Yan gritted her teeth. They were already planning to go to Cannes, so why should they care about the bet?

She was very sure that when Zhou Mo went to Cannes this time, he would not return empty-handed.

By then, if you bring back a prize, even one with the lowest value, your value will skyrocket.

This means that there will be a group of more admirers around you.

Who knows if she will still have time to eat Zhou Mo alone by then.

And now, while they are still together, she wants to be the first person to taste Zhou Mo.

This is called "fans eat first".

She took a step forward and stuffed the garment into his arms.

"Just say whether you're coming or not."

At this point, there was no time for Zhou Mo to hesitate.

He immediately pulled Tang Yan into the room.

"Wait, your phone."

"Don't worry, it's been turned off a long time ago." "Ah? When?"

"I just turned around and saw you wearing the White Dragon suit for the first time."

"...You are such an animal."

……

Three poles in the sun.

Zhou Mo took a car back to the company.

There was a happy smile on his face.

Despite being the "first fan" of Tang Yan, the two's agreement continued.

Tang Yan said that as long as he could bring back a prize, he would be able to wear the suit of the great evil god Sok next time.

Now he has truly become a dragon rider.

"Today is a good day. Everything I wish for will come true..."

As soon as I entered the office and finished my work, the assistant walked in immediately.

"Director Zhou, I received a lot of calls saying that your phone was turned off and they couldn't get through. Also, Director Tong and President Han asked to meet..."

Zhou Mo then realized that his phone was still not turned on.

Before, I was only thinking about the dragon knight and ignored this matter.

I turned on my phone and saw more than a hundred unknown calls.

I thought about it.

I'd better clear the task with my assistant first.

"Tiantian hasn't come yet?"

"Sweet Princess said she has a business deal to discuss with a foreign company. Also, Sweet Princess already knows that your movie has been shortlisted, so she will be back in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll answer those calls one by one, you go ahead and do your work."

"Ok."

After the assistant left the office, Zhou Mo thought for a moment and an idea came to him.

He took out another mobile phone from the drawer, replaced the SIM card, and transferred all the data on the original phone.

After all this was done, he took out a small hammer from somewhere and hammered the original phone down.

Click!

The phone was broken into pieces.

I took some photos with my new phone and posted them all on my private and public accounts.

"I'm sorry everyone, I was so excited to hear the news that I sacrificed my phone. I'm still running in on my new phone. If there are any bosses who need advertising, you can send me a private message."

Completed!

All the aftermath has been cleared up.

Less than a few minutes after the message was sent, a bunch of people I knew called me again.

Get on the phone with Director Tong.

as predicted.

The dinner party has been organized.

It was thoughtfully located near their company.

"I'll be waiting for you, the protagonist, at 12 noon. See you there."

"No problem, I'll be there on time."

After that, many congratulatory calls came in one after another, and the next one came in as soon as the previous one was hung up, which shows that these people never stopped calling.

Fortunately, with Zhou Mo's current condition, he no longer needs to be polite to everyone.

Except for some dinner parties that I couldn't avoid, I arranged them to be held every two days or so. For the rest, I just needed to give a reason and say that I was preparing for the film festival.

By the time I finished talking to everyone on the phone, it was almost noon.

Go to the hotel.

Later, several leaders came one after another, including Director Tong, several film executives, and some staff from the publicity department.

There wasn't much to the chat.

It means performing well, striving for glory, and so on.

Zhou Mo naturally made his words flawless.

"By the way, there is still about a month before the film festival begins. Xiao Zhou, please see if there is anything you need our support for. Just let us know. If the conditions are right, we will give you our greatest support..."

When Zhou Mo heard this, he thought about it seriously.

He actually had a request to make.

He glanced at Director Tong beside him. In the past, when he chatted with this person, he usually went through Comrade Lao Han. Today, Lao Han was also there, but there was no need to trouble him to help pass the message.

"Director Tong, to be honest, I do have an unwelcome request."

"It doesn't matter, just tell me." Director Tong said with a smile.

The bureau has always been very supportive of some outstanding people in the entertainment industry.

"I hope that during this period of time, we can control the intensity of my publicity and not let it go too far."

"Ok?"

Director Tong was stunned and looked at Zhou Mo for a while.

Nod.

"No problem. You need a relatively stable environment during this period of time while you prepare. I will notify you when the time comes. But I can only help you stabilize the upper level. You need to adjust the unofficial media yourself."

"No problem, thank you Director Tong."

……

The meal is over.

After a large group of people left, only two people were left in the room.

Zhou Mo.

Jia Zhangke.

That’s right, as one of the jury members of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, it was inevitable that Jia Zhangke would appear at today’s dinner.

"Director Zhou, your request today is really good."

Jia Zhangke looked at Zhou Mo with a smile on his face, and there was even some surprise in his eyes.

He originally thought that Zhou Mo's request would get more help with publicity, but he didn't expect Zhou Mo to do the opposite, which was beyond his expectations.

But that's a good thing.

Such a proposal means that Zhou Mo is not arrogant at all.

It is really not easy to achieve this at the age of twenty.

At least he didn't have that ability back then.

Zhou Mo shook his head and stuffed something into his mouth.
