Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 399: Stars Gathered, Buttocks King

The person who came was none other than International Zhang.

Zhou Mo: "You are too polite, Zhang Ziyi. I was just telling the truth when I said you are talented and have great acting skills on the show. Your abilities are enough to earn your respect."

Zhang Ziyi laughed at herself and said, "No matter what, I still have to thank Director Zhou for his help. I have been in constant trouble since last year. If Director Zhou hadn't spoken up for me, I would probably still be in trouble."

Zhou Mo secretly said, it was more than just last year.

Sister, ever since you returned to China... no, even when you were in Hollywood, the troubles have never stopped, okay?

Changing the subject: "Miss Zhang is the special guest this time?"

"Yes, this time I finally don't have to carry the burden of promoting a movie. Coming here as a guest, I will feel a lot more relaxed." Zhang Ziyi said casually.

Zhou Mo understood instantly.

"It's good to take a break occasionally, just to adjust your state. Only then can you show your best self to the audience when you come back."

Zhang Ziyi nodded: "Yes, a good movie, whether it is the director, actors, or script, must be very good, but unfortunately these three are often hard to come by."

Zhou Mo: "There are always opportunities. An excellent actor like Miss Zhang will always be sought out by good directors and good scripts. There will be no shortage of excellent works."

The smile on Zhang Ziyi's face became more and more charming.

"Then I will borrow Director Zhou's good words and hope to encounter good opportunities in the future."

"polite."

Zhang Ziyi said a few more words to Da Tiantian, and suggested that they go shopping together when they have time. Then she said goodbye to the two of them and left slowly.

Da Tiantian watched her leaving.

He asked Zhou Mo with some curiosity: "Haven't you always gotten along well with Zhang Ziyi? Why are you working with her this time?"

The content of the conversation just now was actually very simple.

International Zhang invited Zhou Mo to cooperate.

Zhou Mo did not agree immediately, but also said that if there was a chance in the future, of course he would agree.

This is hardly a blank check.

After all, Zhou Mo has never done this before. Once he agrees, he will basically arrange it in the end.

Zhou Mo spread his hands and said, "It's just to pay off the debt. Didn't you hear what others said? They rejected the role of The Crossing last year before filming, and it was the female lead. They showed their attitude, so of course I can't be any less."

Da Tiantian reacted.

"Oh yeah, so what are you going to work on with Zhang Ziyi? It can't be a movie version of "Entertainment Circles," right?"

The drama version of "Entertainment Circle" has been aired for more than half of the time. Judging from the current performance, it has surpassed "Victory 2" which was released at the beginning of the year. It is basically secured the title of this year's drama king.

A few days ago, when the news about the movie version of "Entertainment Circle" just started to spread, netizens spontaneously began to urge the crew to write the script and then shoot.

"Of course not. The protagonist of the movie version of "Entertainment Circle" will definitely be Sister Bayi. The audience recognizes her now, so it's better to change someone else to gain the fan base.

So if she is called International Zhang, she can only play a supporting role at most, but if she is given a supporting role by Eight Billion Sister, he will definitely not agree, which is probably more painful than killing her. "

"What should I do?"

"Let's see if there are any good scripts. There are many realistic themes in China. If that doesn't work, we can just make a realistic movie."

"By the way, where is Fan Qiaoqiao? Is she still hesitating about the content of the movie version of the script?"

"Well, after all, it's a movie version of the script, which is a bit like a self-destructing truck to her. She's afraid that after the filming of the movie, not only will the other party not accept her, but she will also offend everyone in the circle, and then she won't be able to survive in the circle.

But she will probably agree soon.”

"How to say?"

"International chapter."

Zhou Mo pointed somewhere and greeted again.

Da Tiantian looked along her arm and sure enough, there was a reporter with a camera standing on the side of the road.

Turning back to ask Zhou Mo: "Did you arrange this?"

"No, I just happened to see it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the reporter came over.

When I took a closer look, I found that it was an acquaintance.

For a celebrity, knowing the main personnel of several domestic entertainment information companies is a basic skill. The person in front of him is one of the celebrities who travels around all year round and broadcasts information.

Said hello.

The reporter asked:
"Director Zhou, Princess Sweet, do you want to report the news of your meeting with Zhang Ziyi today?"

This is actually asking Zhou Mo what his requirements are for photos and reports.

If there is, a small fee will be charged depending on the content.

Zhou Mo shook his head: "Just write it, and tell you for free that I may cooperate with International Zhang in the future, but the direction of cooperation is undecided at present."

The reporter was immediately delighted.

This is big news.

Before this, Zhou Mo had never worked with Zhang Ziyi.

The two of them didn't even have the most basic interaction.

Today you actually said you have the intention to cooperate?

This is exclusive news.

The reporter immediately returned the favor and gave Zhou Mo a piece of news: "Director Zhou, I heard from a friend these two days that Wu Baige seemed to be deliberately exaggerating your achievements... Of course, I think Director Zhou, you will definitely achieve something this time."

Zhou Mo smiled and nodded.

This is the benefit of making friends with media people.

Although he actually understood most of the information this time, he might need it again at some point.

"Thank you. A drink? I'll buy it."

"Thank you Director Zhou, but let's forget about it today. I have to go back and write the manuscript. I'll invite Director Zhou to dinner later when I have a chance."

……

the next day.

Zhou Mo started arranging the next broadcast and exhibition with the company staff in the morning.

Although "Gone Girl" has made plans this time and will not sell the copyright, but will be released at a unified time worldwide, it will still be played at film festivals.

That's the condition.

Worked till noon.

During lunch, the news about the meeting with Zhang Ziyi yesterday had already spread everywhere. Many domestic fans saw the news and immediately ran to Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian's account to ask.

Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian of course started the "nonsense literature".

Neither say yes nor say no.

Just thinking about it.

After they finished eating, they started strolling around in the afternoon.

This year's Cannes has its own characteristics compared to last year.

Superheroes... to be precise, none of the Marvel people came this time.

But there were still quite a few "international superstars" who came.

For example, the legendary king of buttocks, Justin Bieber, whose initials are “JB”.

For example, the heroine of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", which was the childhood enlightenment movie for countless innocent boys: Monica Bellucci.

Zhou Mo was just about to take Da Tiantian to meet some people, but Da Tiantian suddenly pointed somewhere and whispered to Zhou Mo, "Is that Director Zhang and Emperor Gong?"

Zhou Mo glanced over there.

Sure enough, it was EMO and Qiuxiang.

The two were walking side by side on the street, looking very harmonious.

Zhou Mo said "tsk", and looked at Da Tiantian: "What's wrong with you looking like you're just eating melons?"

Da Tiantian rolled her eyes at Zhou Mo.

"No, I am moved by their friendship."

"Don't give me that. You're grinning so hard that your mouth is almost reaching your ears."

Da Tiantian immediately covered her mouth and glared at Zhou Mo several times.

"You are just a person who knows how to pour cold water on others."

Zhou Mo shook his head and said, "I'm not pouring cold water on you, but this is the fact. Old Zhang has even arranged for his daughter to be filmed this time. There have been no problems during the filming. If you want to just eat melons, I suggest you forget it."

There are many infatuated men and resentful women in the entertainment industry, but after a little thought, they also curled their lips.

After hearing what Zhou Mo said, it seemed that it really didn't make any sense.

Zhou Mo's expression did not change.

There are many infatuated men and resentful women in the entertainment industry.

But some people have done nothing wrong but have been badly cheated.

Therefore, Zhou Mo developed a habit in his previous life. Whenever he saw the so-called "tragic regrets" in the entertainment industry, he would first check to see if there was any story behind it.

Then, the filter will basically be broken.

Over time, I am no longer moved by any so-called regrets.

I'm not touched at all.

Wait until the two of them finish shopping.

Just when I was about to finish my meal.

Zhou Mo's phone rang again.

This time, the caller was Han Jianu.

"Hey, Jia Nu? What's wrong?"

"Brother, I'm here at the film festival too. Where are you and Sister Tiantian now?"

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows.

Coming to Cannes?

"Did you have dinner?"

"not yet."

"Okay then. I'll come find you."

Agree on a location.

A moment later, the two arrived at the designated restaurant and entered a private room where two people were already sitting.

Han Jianu.

Fan Qiao Qiao.

"Brother, Sister Tiantian."

"Director Zhou, sweet."

"Good evening, both of you."

Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian greeted each other first. Da Tiantian turned to look at Zhou Mo, made eye contact with him, and then blinked.

The two quickly completed the information exchange.

"Little guy, I didn't expect you to be right. Fan Qiaoqiao really came."

'That's it, you don't see who I am.'

After sitting down, they ate and chatted as usual to keep in touch.

Eat until you are 80% full.

Han Jianu and Fan Qiaoqiao looked at each other, and Han Jianu spoke first: "Brother, how is the movie version of "Entertainment Circle" that you told me about before?"

Zhou Mo put down the drink in his hand.

He said with a smile: "It doesn't matter how well prepared you are. What matters is how well prepared the personnel are."

When Fan Qiaoqiao heard this, he stopped beating around the bush.

He immediately sat up straight and said, "Director Zhou, let me be frank. I was indeed hesitant about filming "Entertainment Circle" before. After all, tax issues are not just one or two people in the circle, but the vast majority of people have..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Mo said, "Hey, Sister Qiao, I have to make it clear to you first, I don't have it at home."

The money he earns is no longer accumulated by this tax.

Fan Qiaoqiao nodded immediately: "Yes, Director Zhou is of course not included... But Director Zhou should also be aware that this content does affect a wide range of people.

If I really film it, I might get some care and appreciation, but I don’t know how much, and I would offend a lot of people.

This is also what I hesitated about before. Today I came here just to hear something more specific from Director Zhou, whether our crew can protect me. "
