Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 435: Then you will have no morals again?
The news that Zhou Mo is collaborating with Warner to shoot "Batman" is still fermenting.

There are both supporters and opponents among people outside the circle.

There is no need to say more about this.

The news from insiders is far worse.

There are many people who want a role, even if it only lasts a few minutes.

"Hey...Character, let me tell you the truth. If I could take charge of this matter, I would promise you, but I'm sorry, I really can't promise you anything.

You should also know the situation at Warner. They decide on the casting and I am responsible for the filming. Also, the situation in Hollywood is different from that in China. They have a producer-led system, so even if I want to impose my will, it is difficult to do so."

On the phone, Zhou Mo kept fooling around.

"Don't worry. If there is a chance, I will definitely help you. Got it..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Mo sneered.

"What the hell, what were you doing earlier?"

Da Tiantian was doing yoga in the living room and changed her posture when she heard the words.

"What's wrong? Someone said something too much?"

"Yes, at this time they started to tell me that we are all Chinese and should help each other after going abroad. Arranging roles for them is to support the development of the domestic film industry. They also said that as the pillar of the current film industry, I should shoulder these responsibilities..." Zhou Mo never stopped complaining.

Da Tiantian’s eyes widened.

Who is it?

So bold.

"2014 is already halfway over, how come there are still people in the entertainment industry who dare to put this kind of moral pressure on you? Don't they know that you have no morals?" Da Tiantian said "indignantly".

At the same time, he was secretly watching Zhou Mo's reaction.

The next second, the slap landed on the big peach.

"Ouch!" Da Tiantian screamed.

Zhou Mo looked at her lively appearance with an indifferent expression.

"Tiantian, do you really think I can't hear you?"

Da Tiantian said, "Who on earth is that?"

"Who else could it be? Those people in the association who have been out of business for more than a decade and don't notice the changes of the times."

Da Tiantian frowned, obviously a little unhappy with this group of people.

In terms of relationships, they do have some conflicts with that group of people.

For example, awards at domestic film festivals.

A few years ago, Zhou Mo chose not to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards again because he did not meet the standards of the Golden Rooster main competition unit, and was criticized by many people in the association at the time.

Think he is arrogant because of his talent.

He even said, "If you don't want to participate, then don't participate. There are new people in the film industry every year, and one more you won't make much difference."

As a result, as Zhou Mo's grades got better and better, his reputation grew.

This group of people changed their attitude again and hoped that Zhou Mo would participate in the award ceremony.

But the attitude is still arrogant.

It's almost like: "I'll give you a chance. Come to a film festival and we can forget all our grudges from now on. I hope you won't be ungrateful."

Zhou Mo didn't even respond to this arrogant invitation.

Moreover, not to mention that these people had a bad attitude, he would not agree even if their attitude was good.

Because these people are really unreliable.

God knows when you really agree to attend the film festival, and even divide the cake in advance, you will be put on the spot and become a laughing stock at the film festival.

Little Cannon was played like this in the past.

Zhou Mo has no interest in being the second best little cannon anymore.

Da Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "Don't be angry. I'll make a call to the association for you. They won't bother you anymore."

Zhou Mo nodded, smiling.

"Thank you, Tiantian, you are so kind."

Da Tiantian rolled her eyes at him and said, "You always say nice things, but in reality you are not willing to move at all."

Zhou Mo immediately cried out: "How is this possible! Am I that kind of person? Tiantian, tell me what you want, and I'll do it right away!"

"Really? I don't believe it."

"of course it's true."

Da Tiantian thought about it and put her body into the same yoga pose as before.

The peach is slightly raised.

"Then you will never have morals again?"

Zhou Mo: ???
……

In the first half of August, all the work for "In My Song" was ready.

All that’s left is to follow the steps and play the promotional videos on schedule.

The company compiled some statistics.

It really can't be compared with the commercial films made in the past.

Data from all aspects, including the number of views of the promotional video, online popularity, number of comments, etc., all fell sharply.

Fortunately, Zhou Mo had anticipated this and was not too disappointed.

This movie is undoubtedly an art film.

And it was a tragedy throughout, the kind that makes people feel sad when watching it.

Except for the last little bit, I basically don't want to watch the rest of it again after watching it once.

In this situation, how can there be a high box office?

However, after Zhou Mo calculated, it was basically impossible for this movie to lose money.

On the one hand, the cost of this film was very low. The total salary of the leading actors was less than 10 million yuan, and everyone had consciously asked for less salary when they received Zhou Mo's invitation.

Plus various other expenses, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The final cost of the film was only a little less than 20 million.

After the movie is released, if it can win an award internationally, the investment will be recovered immediately.

In the company.

Zhou Mo was discussing movie promotions with his assistant.

Just as the story was being told, Da Tiantian came into the room, followed by two people.

Wu Jing.

Xie Nan.

"Hey, why are you two here? Are you can't wait to get married, so you came to deliver the invitations?" Zhou Mo smiled as he watched the two of them sit down.

Hearing this, Wu Jing and Xie Nan looked at each other and felt a little embarrassed unconsciously.

At the beginning of the year, the two of them planned to get married in May.

As a result, Zhou Mo later made a big move in "The Eloquent Ones", and Wu Jing was directly drafted in to serve as a soldier. He had to do a lot of publicity and was very busy.

So we just postponed the wedding to November 11th.

At this moment, Zhou Mo saw Wu Jing blushing and asked in surprise: "Oh, blushing?"

Xie Nan came out to help.

"Director Zhou, please stop joking. Our wedding is still the same as before. This time we are here mainly for Wolf Warriors."

"War Wolf, what happened to War Wolf? Isn't everything going according to plan?"

Wu Jing replied: "Nothing else, I just feel a little panicked."

Zhou Mo glanced at Wu Jing, somewhat surprised.

Good guy.

This is not just a bit panic, my hands are starting to shake.

"Brother Jing, that's not the case. I remember that there will be public security officials attending the premiere, right?"

In the previous life, when "Wolf Warrior" held its premiere, Wu Jing was truly a "no such person" in the film industry.

Even the people couldn't shout in unison.

After a round, not many people responded to his invitation.

It's really just a sentence: "I was forty years old that year, and at the premiere, I stood like a minion."

But now it’s different. He is the leading actor in a 2 billion box office movie. The movie is promoted by Shanhe Company, sponsored by Zhou Mo, and has the support of the public security department behind it.

That's the lineup.

This is the configuration.

Don’t even mention that you can’t call anyone.

Tickets for the premiere were hard to come by.

There's nothing to panic about.

Wu Jing gave a wry smile.

"I'm panicking because a leader is going there... If the movie doesn't perform well, I'll be letting you down, Director Zhou, and the public security leaders' support."

Zhou Mo shook his head and consoled him, "Brother Jing, there's no need to put so much pressure on yourself. You have to know that the subject matter you're shooting is relatively scarce in China.

Whether it is from the concept or the novelty, there will be a high degree of tolerance in all aspects, you just need to show yourself well. "

Wu Jing nodded, but her expression was still rather dry.

Seeing this, Zhou Mo sighed and said bluntly: "Okay, Brother Jing, just tell me what you need me to do in the next two days."

Wu Jing said slowly: "Director Zhou, don't be a guest at the premiere. Be the person in charge and help me."

Zhou Mo was helpless: "No, I didn't participate in the filming from beginning to end. At most, I gave you some suggestions on the initial version of the script. There is no need for me to participate."

However, Wu Jing and Xie Nan said in unison: "It is necessary, very necessary."

Xie Nan added: "Director Zhou, he really has no experience in this area. When Wolf Tooth was a huge flop, I suspect he has psychological trauma since then. It's easy for him to get nervous when everyone supports him."

Wu Jing also nodded repeatedly.

"Yes! I have trauma."

The couple has said that now that it has come to this, what else can Zhou Mo do.

"Okay, I'll go with you, but I won't be on the subsequent interviews, you have to go by yourself."

As soon as the words were spoken, Wu Jing and Xie Nan instantly broke free from their previous restrained state, bent their waists, lowered their heads, and even leaned their backs on the sofa.

"It feels better." Wu Jing let out a sigh of relief.

Xie Nan also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, with Director Zhou here, there's no need to worry about losing control."

Zhou Mo: ...

He seemed to have been fooled just now.

Looking at these two people, they don't look panicked at all.

"Panic? Sequelae? You two really are the husband and wife following each other's lead... No, it's the wife who follows the husband's lead, right?"

Wu Jing didn't care when she heard this. Instead, she said proudly, "Everyone has their own expertise, Director Zhou. Nan Nan is indeed better at speaking than me, so it will be more credible if she speaks."

tsk...

Zhou Mo felt like his teeth were about to fall out.

"Don't blame me for not warning you two. Showing off your affection will lead to your death sooner. Showing off your affection in front of me will lead to your death even faster. This is something that the entire entertainment industry has recognized. I suggest you two be careful with what you say and do."

Wu Jing accomplished her mission and stopped teasing Zhou Mo.

Stand up together with Xie Nan.

Say goodbye to Zhou Mo.
