Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 415 Xuanwumen Heroine
The caller ID shows Wu Jing.

Not big honey.

Of course Da Mimi called, but Zhou Mo didn't answer.

"Hey, Brother Jing, the show hasn't even finished airing yet, why are you calling me in such a hurry?"

There was joy in Wu Jing's voice.

"I want to thank Director Zhou for giving me this opportunity to express my position and attitude. I just received a call. The leader is very satisfied with me and said that I did a good job this time. He also promised to give certain support to the future process of Wolf Warrior, whether it is approval or release."

"That's great, Brother Jing, congratulations." Zhou Mo sincerely wished him well.

When a movie is released, it is very important to have the support of bigwigs.

Why are there so many bloody, violent and realistic scenes in the movie "Operation Red Sea", and yet it can be released smoothly with basically no changes?

The PLA Naval Political Department Television Art Center has made great efforts behind the scenes.

Wu Jing: "Another thing, Director Zhou, the leader has specifically told me that he will invite you to have a meal together later. The publicity effect of "The Eloquent" this time is very good, which allows the public to have a deeper understanding of the difficulties of drug control in our country. So the leader said that he wants to express his gratitude to you in person."

Zhou Mo immediately stated: "This is all as it should be. Brother Jing, just give me a time later. I will be there on time."

Hang up.

Liu Shishi suddenly came over and blinked: "Is it... the leader of the Public Security Bureau?"

"Well, 'Wolf Warrior' is about drug enforcement, so we asked people from the Ministry of Public Security to provide guidance from the beginning. The mention of Shadow Demon in 'The Eloquent One' was actually planned a long time ago."

"I was wondering why it went so smoothly this time. It turns out you were prepared a long time ago."

Zhou Mo spread his hands: "Otherwise, some things should be more cautious. Even if I don't have to worry about the review, but when it comes to things like 'fans', I still have to discuss it with the relevant department in advance. Otherwise, as non-professionals, what should we do if the staff's information is leaked?
I host this variety show to expose dirt, not to do something bad with good intentions.”

Liu Shishi suddenly realized.

"Then the program was recorded a few days ago and re-produced. It should be reviewed by the public security personnel, right?"

"Of course."

A strange light flashed in Liu Shishi's eyes.

"Ministry of Public Security, Zhou Mo, you are really getting more and more powerful. You can actually get the support of the public security for hosting a variety show. If it were me, I wouldn't even dare to think about it."

Zhou Mo patted her little head.

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile, don't make a fuss, or you'll be more surprised in the future."

Liu Shishi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and widened her eyes.

"You mean, there will be more opportunities to cooperate with the police in the future?"

Zhou Mo shook his head.

"no?"

"It will not only be the public security, but also some other agencies, and the prospects are very good."

Several famous military-themed patriotic films in the past, including "Mekong", "Operation Red Sea", "Changjin Lake" and "Sky Hunter", all had support from official departments.

"Mekong River" is public security.

"Red Sea" is the Navy.

"Changjin Lake" is August 1st.

"Sky Hunter" is the air politics.

Among them, "Sky Hunter" has poor quality due to problems with the script and the director's level.

But the performance of the other films is more impressive than the last.

When Liu Shishi heard this, her expression changed slightly.

It is quite rare to hear Zhou Mo say that the prospects are very good.

Then...can she also try a little harder?
"Zhou Mo..."

"You want to ask yourself if you have a chance." Zhou Mo said straightforwardly.

Liu Shishi had nothing to be embarrassed about, as they were already an old married couple: "Yes, I want to ask about the situation."

Zhou Mo did not respond immediately. Instead, he looked at Liu Shishi up and down many times with a very scrutinizing gaze, which made Liu Shishi feel itchy all over.

Curling up a bit, he asked uneasily, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

Zhou Mo shook his head and explained.

"It's not that you are lacking in something, but you have to think carefully about whether you can endure the hardship."

He explained, counting on his fingers.

“Military movies are no joke. Although the conditions are definitely much better than the real situation, compared to someone like you who is already financially independent and lives a life of luxury, it’s still pretty miserable.

If you want to shoot this kind of movie, you will definitely have to run around with the crew, exercise your physical fitness, learn relevant knowledge, and even encounter some dangers from the outside world during the filming process.

This is a difficult thing for you little flowers.

So I suggest you think about these things carefully before doing so, and don’t make a decision in such a hurry.”

It’s not that Zhou Mo doesn’t have confidence in Liu Shishi, but the truth is there. For idol-type stars, how many people are willing to stand up and run when they can make money by lying down?

What's more, it is much more difficult to make money from military movies than running.

Going abroad again.

And you have to study hard.

When filming, we even had to prepare for some dangerous situations in the local area. Why bother?
In China, as long as you take on two dramas, you can make a lot of money.

Isn't he sweet?

When those big movies in the past started filming, why couldn’t they find actresses to act in them?
This category is new in the market and we don’t know what the future holds. Perhaps this is part of the reason why everyone is waiting and watching.

But more than that, many people really don’t want to suffer that pain.

When Lin Chaoxian was filming "Operation Red Sea", why did he add more scenes to the female character played by Hai Qing? It was because no female actress was willing to take the role when he was selecting actors.

Hai Qing responded to Baldy Lin's request for help, and Baldy Lin was so moved that he immediately repaid him by adding more scenes.

Take this role alone.

Did the actors’ acting skills get tested?

The answer is no.

In Zhou Mo's opinion, as long as the acting skills of the actors in the circle are not so awkward that nothing can be added, such as Ouyang Nana's level of "Lu Xiaokui, come on!", there is no problem for other people to play this role.

Moreover, as long as Xia Nan's lines and the plot are slightly changed, and the unpopular saintly image of her is removed, and replaced with the image of a decisive, brave, obedient and calm war correspondent, and occasionally a cameo appearance as a field doctor to give some support to the protagonists, the reputation of the character will be much better than the original one.

Therefore, Zhou Mo made his words very clear to Liu Shishi.

"Shi Shi, if you really want to play this kind of role, I can arrange one for you directly, and the character image will definitely not disappoint you.

But the prerequisite is that you are really prepared and shoot the movie from beginning to end without fear of hardship or fatigue.

Think about this matter carefully."

Liu Shishi nodded.

Zhou Mo's words were very clear, and the rest was up to her to decide.

After talking about these things with Liu Shishi, the fifth episode of "The Eloquent Man" has basically been broadcast.

During this time, I received several more calls.

There was Director Tong, who was half praising and half helpless, and was so happy that he hung up the phone after being coaxed by Zhou Mo's few words.

There were also people like Xin Xing and Wang Baobao who were feeling uneasy and came to ask about the situation. Zhou Mo simply brought up the conversation on the phone with Wu Jing and soon felt relieved.

at last.

After a series of people were arranged, Zhou Mo finally got through the last call.

"Hey, Zhou Mo, you've caused me so much trouble." Da Mimi started to complain: "I don't even dare to speak in our Tiny Times 3 group right now, for fear of problems, and you don't answer my calls..."

However, after the long conversation, Zhou Mo did not respond at all. Da Mimi only heard the sound of typing on the keyboard on the other end of the phone.

"Hello, hello, hello? Zhou Mo, what are you doing?"

"Oh, wait a moment, I'm editing the text."

Da Mimi was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Edit what?"

Zhou Mo Nian said, "The content of the edit is: Some people asked me why I suddenly wanted to reveal the inside story of 'powder', which is full of filth and dirt. I told them that it was a heroine who lived in Xuanwumen who reminded me of this, so I want to praise her."

Da Mimi almost fell to her knees on the spot.

Screaming into the phone: "No, Zhou Mo, I was wrong, don't do this, don't do it."

She was born in Xuanwumen, and this information is no secret in the circle.

Therefore, as long as Zhou Mo sent out this message, basically everyone in the entire circle would know that she was the one who instigated this action.

When she thought of this situation, she felt a chill -

In just over half an hour, she had already found out some information through her own channels.

These two people are not scary.

What’s scary is the father of these two people.

I really want them to think that sending their son in for tea has anything to do with them.

That would be the real end of it.

Zhou Mo then picked up the phone, sighed, and said slowly: "Sister Mi."

Big Mimi immediately said: "No, you can call me Xiao...ah, just call me Mimi."

Zhou Mo said: "Mi Mi, I'm very happy that you called me, but the tone of your voice just now made me very sad."

Da Mimi: "I'm sorry, Zhou Mo, no, Director Zhou, let me reflect, I was a little emotional just now, and I couldn't control myself for a while."

Zhou Mo then coughed lightly: "If that's the case, then let me change it again?"

"Of course we need to change it. Well... I mean, I heard that it was the Chaoyang people who reported Ke Jingteng. These people are the real heroes. Director Zhou, I think if you write about it, you should highlight their contributions.

As for that Xuanwumen heroine, she is just a passerby from nowhere. I don’t know her. I’m really not familiar with her. I’d better not write about her.”

Zhou Mo hesitated: "But, I still want to write..."

Da Mimi had a toothache.

You can't pass this level.

Before she could say anything, Zhou Mo continued, "Mi Mi, I didn't mean to deliberately lead you in your pace, but I meant that what was written down would be useful."

Damimi:? ? ?

it works?

What do you mean?
