Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 391 Never Participate in a Debate

Praise for killing?

The two kings were thinking about Wu Baige's suggestion in their hearts.

Honestly.

This is a great idea.

All over the world, regardless of the East or the West, "humility" has always been a very important quality.

Even if a public figure is very capable, if his public image is arrogant and conceited, he will still be unpopular and hated by the audience.

In the past, the public's impression of Zhou Mo was that he was very aggressive towards people in the same field and attacked his competitors with all his might, but was very gentle towards the audience and fans.

Sometimes, because of the slow update, I won’t refute even after being criticized.

This kind of personality is actually very likable.

Because it has flesh and blood, it doesn't appear hypocritical.

Moreover, he is very popular among the public and will not be influenced by general public opinion.

but……

It all depends on people.

No matter how good an image is, it cannot withstand smearing.

Wasn't the image of MJ, a world-class treasure, blackened to ashes by many people with ulterior motives in the later period of his artistic career?
Even after several years, the pace has not slowed down.

The king nodded and said, "Let's follow Director Wu's idea. Zhou Mo's momentum should indeed be suppressed. He has been too popular in the past two years. He has reached the point where he can influence everyone and say whoever is not good enough is not good enough. He has also controlled the publicity platform, which has a great impact on the reputation of our company. It will be beneficial to suppress him."

Xiao Wang said "hmm" and indicated that he would go back and deal with it immediately.

After giving instructions for the publicity, the king looked at Wu Baige.

“Director Wu, you should also know about The Crossing. It grossed over 300 million, and that doesn’t even include the publicity during the period. So you should also know that this movie cannot fail.

Although we have just said so much, you should also know in your heart that Zhou Mo's momentum is indeed very strong, so "The Crossing" must achieve a good enough result. "

When it comes to filming, Wu Baige can still get angry in front of the two brothers.

But when it comes to film investment, Wu Baige could only bow his head and agree.

“Don’t worry, The Crossing is the result of all my hard work, there will be absolutely no problems with this play.

It just so happens that we will also be participating in Cannes this time, and when the copyright fees for the film are sold, the company can first recover some of the funds.”

"Well, Director Wu, you go and get busy first." The king served tea and saw the guest off.

Wu Baige frowned slightly.

Thinking about the current situation, it is not the past after all.

Nod, turn and leave.

Looking at Wu Baige's departing figure, the two kings looked at each other.

With Wu Baige present, the two brothers actually had one thing they didn't say clearly.

In fact, in addition to movies, Zhou Mo and them also have considerable competition in the real estate field.

Last year, Huayi actually proposed the concept of "de-filming" and began to enter the real estate field, building film towns in most places across the country.

But now, as the "InterContinental Hotel" movie world jointly developed by Wanda and Shanhe Company has been successfully launched, their project has encountered great obstacles.

The "InterContinental Hotel" project and the "Killer Universe" worldview complement and promote each other.

Before this, under the "killer universe" worldview, the two movies "John Wick" and "Little Shots" had a total box office of only 1 billion.

The results were good, but the publicity was not that strong and the impact on Huayi’s real estate projects was limited.

But as soon as "Cold Wind" was released, the "InterContinental Hotel" project took off immediately.

A box office of 2 billion is simply terrifying.

According to the quarterly report released by Wanda this year, after "Cold Wind", the passenger flow of "InterContinental Hotel" in Du'an section increased nearly three times within three months.

That's outrageous.

It is said that after the release of "Cold Wind", all "InterContinental Hotel" theme parks provided an entertainment project called "Assassination of Qingming".

The game, which is composed of real people and videos, allows visitors to experience the story together.

The game Penguin was jointly developed by Wanda, Shanhe and Penguin.

Yes, penguins are there too.

Because when "John Wick" was filmed, Penguin had collaborated with Shanhe.

Later, when InterContinental Hotels Group started to invest, Penguin naturally also made a contribution.

In order to experience this project, countless tourists have come from all over the world to visit the "InterContinental Hotel" and have a try.

Then, I became completely addicted.

Once, again, again, and again...

All we can say is that as long as we can meet the needs of the people, we will naturally reap huge benefits.

According to the original plan of the Big and Small Wangs, this kind of grand occasion should have occurred after the opening of their Huayi Movie Park and the launch of the "Oriental Titanic" theme park -

This is also why "The Taiping" was promoted as the Titanic of the East.

Love is always the only way to make money.

No matter how ordinary the facilities are, as long as they are related to love and covered with the guise of love, there will be people who will pay for them.

This is also the reason why they still did it last year even though they knew that Wu Baige and Zhou Mo were enemies and supporting Wu Baige would cause conflicts with Zhou Mo:
The "Movie Park" is already under construction, and the "Titanic Oriental" theme facility is halfway built.

It will be completed by the end of the year, and when the movie comes out, the profits will be quickly reflected in the movie.

Therefore, everything Zhou Mo is doing now can be regarded as an all-round conflict with Huayi.

Especially after "Cold Points", this guy is not done yet. He actually plans to start several other projects around "InterContinental Hotel" at once.

"Spy Academy", "The Equalizer", "JW"...

If Zhou Mo really allows things to go smoothly like this, regardless of how good the next few movies will be, even if they only make 400 or 500 million, they will forget about their "Movie Paradise".

It's definitely going to be the end.

So, take advantage of now and do everything you can to strike back at your competitors.

For example, Zhou Mo’s public image.

……

That afternoon.

Zhou Mo and Jia Zhangke finished their chat and returned to the company.

Da Tiantian has returned and is sitting in the office with his eyes closed.

"Thank you for your hard work. What have you been busy with? You weren't in the company this morning?" Zhou Mo moved a chair over and placed it next to Da Tiantian.

Da Tiantian took off her blindfold and took the health tea handed to her by Zhou Mo.

"It's a secret. You'll know it later."

Zhou Mo didn't ask and was very cooperative.

After Da Tiantian finished her tea, he said with a bit of pride: "How about it, after hearing the news that I was shortlisted, do you feel that I am very impressive?"

"awesome!"

Da Tiantian glanced at him, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Now, not only people in the industry, but also a large group of people outside the industry are discussing you, Director Zhou. They say that you will become the youngest domestic Palme d'Or winner, a world-class talented director, surpassing Brother Kaizi, creating miracles, sweeping away all the major domestic directors, and in the future you will be the backbone of the national film industry and the conscience of the era..."

Zhou Mo was listening fine at first.

But the more I listened, the more something seemed wrong.

After hearing this, his face froze.

This comment is not praising him, but wanting him to die.

He slammed the table and said, "Fuck it, this is making me an enemy of the world."

The above publicity will definitely not happen. The things happening at noon have already been agreed upon, and the publicity person is also here. Director Tong has promised him that such a small mistake will definitely not occur.

That means someone can set the pace.

"Which bastard is framing me?"

Da Tiantian turned on the computer, found the reviews on the Internet and asked Zhou Mo to read them himself, and then asked the assistant to bring the materials.

"Well, these are the results of the investigation."

Zhou Mo looked through the rhythms on the Internet and indeed found something fishy about some of them.

The content of Rhythm is not just about the Cannes nomination, but also involves many other areas, some true and some false, but basically it is very clever to lead the topic to some of his black spots.

For example, his efforts in making movies led to him skipping classes at school and instead joining the crew.

This behavior may have its reasons, but it is not worth promoting, etc. Zhou Mo should also strictly control it, etc.

"How dare these people slander me!" Zhou Mo was very angry.

"How did they blackmail you?"

"They actually told me what I did." Zhou Mo pointed at the screen.

Da Tiantian: ...

"You should think about what you have done recently that has caused someone on the Internet to lead you astray."

"Forget it. A man like me is like a firefly in the night. I will always be invaded by darkness. It's useless to find someone to discredit me because there are too many people discrediting me." Zhou Mo took out a handful of hairspray from somewhere and smoothed his hair over, making it into a slicked back style.

"That's enough! It turns out you were just narcissistic, but now you even carry props with you. Where did you get this bottle of fermentation?" Da Tiantian was stunned.

"Of course it's in the pocket in front of my belly." Zhou Mo stretched out his fingers with both hands and drew a stroke in front of his belly.

"You think I've never seen Doraemon, right?"

Da Tiantian kicked Zhou Mo directly: "Forget it, you should think about how to deal with these rhythms now."

"There is no need to respond. The directing major is different from the ordinary major. The school encourages people to make movies. In fact, there is no problem. This public opinion is used to control my rhythm. Explaining will only fall into the trap of self-defense. The more I explain, the worse it gets.

All we need to do now is change the topic and divert the audience's attention.

As for my pace, as long as I can produce good movies and do not violate social morality, these are all minor matters. "

Da Tiantian nodded.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Okay, just wait and see." Zhou Mo smiled.

Take out the phone under Da Tiantian's gaze.

"Hey, Brother Zhuo, are you ready? There should be no problem with tomorrow's live broadcast."

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Wenzhuo's slightly excited voice slowly sounded.

"It's all ready, Director Zhou, don't worry."

hang up the phone.

Da Tiantian raised her eyebrows: "Is Zhao Wenzhuo going to be on your live broadcast?"

"OK."
