Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 410: Reactions from all parties and new film plans

Da Tiantian is very free and easy.

"I know my level. If I work hard, try my best and get a little bit of luck, I might have a chance to win three domestic gold medals, but it's basically impossible for me to win three European gold medals like Best Actress.

Therefore, I am already very satisfied to win the three European awards. As for what award it is and what role I win it for, I don’t really care.”

Zhou Mo immediately gave a thumbs up.

Just when Da Tiantian thought that this guy was going to praise her for her good attitude, she found that he pointed his thumb at herself again and said slowly: "Tiantian..."

"Ok?"

"Call me Lord County Magistrate!" Zhou Mo laughed.

Da Tiantian: ???

It took a few seconds to react.

Are you trying to take advantage of me in a roundabout way?
……

The next day.

The news of the Cannes Awards Ceremony has spread throughout the film community around the world.

The news that Zhou Mo won the Grand Jury Prize also caused a huge stir in China.

Major companies, directors, actors.

Countless moviegoers, fans, and passers-by.

After hearing the news, many people expressed their views on the Internet.

But so many words, gathered together, can be summarized in two words:

Damn it.

For the domestic film industry, the symbolic significance of Cannes is actually far greater than its practical significance.

For most people, Cannes is actually a very distant word to them.

Many people only know two nouns about Cannes.

Brother Kaizi.

"Farewell My Concubine".

Therefore, when hearing that Zhou Mochong won the Cannes Award, many netizens' first reaction was:
"Ah, Zhou Mo is also going to Cannes? Doesn't that mean he's just as awesome as Brother Kaizi? Holy shit? So awesome."

It was not until the media and some netizens who knew a little more about the difference told me that I realized that the crew of "Gone Girl" and "Farewell My Concubine" were one level lower.

But it’s still awesome.

It simply went from being tied for first place to being one of the “only three” along with two other films.

As for the value of this "only three" in the minds of netizens.

Just look at Brother Kaizi and you will know.

How many people have seen "Farewell My Concubine"?
In fact, there weren't that many people.

But when it comes to Kaizi Ge's Palme d'Or, many people's first reaction is: this movie was actually made by Kaizi Ge's father, and the award was given to Kaizi Ge. Later, when Kaizi Ge could no longer make particularly good movies, the truth was exposed.

This sentence actually indirectly verifies netizens' recognition of the Palme d'Or.

it means:
Although many people have not seen "Farewell My Concubine" and do not know how good this movie is, they would rather say that Brother Kaizi is a fake and have to admit that this movie is of great value.

Brother Kaizi, the only Palme d'Or winner in the world, was immediately visited by reporters and was interviewed about Zhou Mo's award.

“I already know the content of Gone Girl. It’s a very good movie and Zhou Mo is also very good. But I hope he can keep calm and keep moving forward. He may win the Palme d’Or one day.

Want to win the Palme d'Or?
Thinking back to those days, I… I even want to recite a poem now…"

As soon as Kaizi Ge’s interview was posted online, it immediately received a lot of attention and comments.

Not surprisingly, the two topics "Brother Kaizi has run out of ideas" and "Who filmed Farewell My Concubine" once again became hot searches, becoming the only two news items that were not directly related to Cannes among a large number of Cannes news.

Meanwhile. Cannes.

Zhou Mo is talking to Director Tong on the phone.

"Xiao Zhou, first of all, congratulations on your excellent results."

"Thank you, boss. It was just luck."

"Okay, no need to be polite. You said before that you would ask your colleagues in the publicity department not to make it public until the results are out. I have arranged it for you.

Now that the dust has settled, we can start promoting it.”

"Of course, thank you Director Tong." Zhou Mo smiled, thinking back to yesterday's banquet, and mentioned again: "By the way, Director Tong, to be honest, I was able to win the award this time thanks to the help of Director Jia, Director Jiang, Director Zhang and others. They helped me avoid a lot of detours..."

Now that the system of rewarding merit has begun, he naturally has to return the favor.

"Don't worry. I know you won't take it all for yourself. This award is an honor for you as well as for everyone else." Director Tong said with a smile.

Zhou Mo said no more.

Just saying it once is enough.

As soon as the phone was hung up, Da Tiantian walked into the house angrily from outside.

"What's going on?" Zhou Mo was surprised.

Da Tiantian put down her bag and pointed at herself: "Zhou Mo, do you think I look like a fool?"

Zhou Mo glanced at Da Tiantian and pursed his lips.

"Hard to say."

Da Tiantian was furious and stretched out her little fist to hit Zhou Mo's chest: "I'm talking to you about serious matters, and you're playing tricks on me again."

Zhou Mo hugged her: "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. You are certainly not a fool. Tell me what's wrong?"

"The news that I was the producer just got out last night, and guess what happened this morning? A bunch of people came to me, hoping that I could invest in their movies."

Zhou Mo: "Looking at your expression, does that mean the movie is terrible?"

"Bad, not just bad." Da Tiantian curled her lips: "You don't even know, I couldn't even finish reading the story outline, it's simply an eyesore."

When she said this, the expression on her face was almost the same as that of the old man with a cell phone on the subway, which shows how deeply she was hurt.

"Then why don't you just refuse it directly?"

Da Tiantian said helplessly: "I refused, but you can never imagine what these people said. They actually said that as a well-known investor, I should support the development of the film industry, so I should pay money to support them in making movies."

Zhou Mo: ...

This is really the overbearing logic of some groups.

"It doesn't matter, just reject them."

Da Tiantian nodded and asked again, "By the way, I met De Niro a few days ago, and he told me that he hoped I could help you get Lost in America to start filming soon. When do you plan to start?"

Zhou Mo: "I was originally planning to start filming Lost in America as my next film, but because of a piece of news I saw some time ago, I suddenly had a new idea."

Da Tiantian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted.

"Do you have any new movie plans?"

"Ah."

"What type? Is there a place for me?" Da Tiantian asked immediately.

The success of "Gone Girl" was so dazzling that it rekindled her passion for pursuing art.

I just don't know when this enthusiasm will disappear.

Zhou Mo shook his head: "I don't think it will work this time. I might have to make a more literary movie this time, and the content is a bit negative, which is not suitable for you."

"More literary and negative?"
