Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 436: A line from a skit 16 years ago

"In that case, Director Zhou, we'll take our leave now. You must come when the time comes." Xie Nan waved goodbye.

Wu Jing also turned around: "Yes, you must come when the time comes!"

Zhou Mo: ...

After the adjustments, the viewing experience of "Wolf Warrior 1" is indeed much better than the original, and it has initially stepped out of the style of Wu Jing's films.

Very hard and very rigid.

There isn’t so much red tape, just do it if you don’t agree.

Adjustments have also been made to the content, with the plot taking place outside the border, where drug lords are being eradicated. In the process, some people are injured and some are sacrificed.

After overcoming numerous difficulties, the drug lord was finally arrested and sent back to the country to face legal sanctions.

Very smooth plot performance.

After the premiere.

After Wu Jing and Zhou Mo received the leaders from the police, when they returned to the backstage, Wu Jing was obviously relieved.

"Fortunately, the boss is very satisfied with the content of the movie."

Zhou Mo smiled and patted his shoulder: "See, I told you it's okay. You were just scaring yourself before."

Wu Jing also smiled: "Anyway, Director Zhou, thank you again this time."

Zhou Mo waved his hand: "It's okay, it's all right. After all, the better the movie performs, the more profit we will make."

When it comes to box office, Wu Jing asked with some anticipation, "Then Director Zhou, what do you think the box office of our movie will be?"

Zhou Mo said silently: "That depends on how fast the public security comrades act."

Wu Jing was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"What this means is that the second half of the fifth issue of 'The Eloquent Man' is about to unfold."

……

then.

three days later.

"Oh no, Zhou Mo is killing again, and a bunch of celebrities are coming in for tea."

For three consecutive days.

Chaoyang police arrested several more celebrities who attracted fans.

He Shengdong, who played Shunzhi in "Empress Xiaozhuang".

Niu Mingming, who played Lingzi in "The Story of Rose".

Hu Dong, who played the Leopard Head Lin Chong in the old version of "Water Margin".

Yoon Sang-kyeol singing "The Boatman's Love".

……

A series of lists once again blinded the eyes of the spectators.

On the Internet, many viewers cursed these stars while supporting Zhou Mo.

Those who carry firewood must not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow.

Many people believe that because Zhou Mo did this, he will definitely be hated by many people and will definitely be under pressure from many sides.

Therefore, those who support this matter may not be able to do more, but they must let all parties see their response and know that there is nothing wrong with this matter.

The masses are supportive.

Of course, there are some cuties who haven’t reacted yet.

"No, hasn't 'The Eloquent' been aired yet? Why do people think that this incident was caused by Zhou Mo?"

The fans’ answer to this is also very simple.

"Nonsense, who else but Zhou Mo can do such a thing of sweeping a large area with a stick?"

"..."

Amid this kind of public opinion, the box office of "Wolf Warrior" also soared.

Although during the days when the police took action, many artists also came out to issue statements in a timely manner.

But compared with "Wolf Warrior", it is still far behind.

"Wolf Warrior" was made with actual money to contribute to the country's anti-drug efforts.

And it is not the style of past Hong Kong films, with the traditional plot between police and criminals, sellers and buyers, undercover and temptation.

"Wolf Warrior" is a battle with real guns and bullets.

The stimulation its style brings to the audience is undoubtedly much stronger.

So, when August entered the second half of the month.

As "In My Song" is about to be released, the total box office of "Wolf Warrior" has exceeded the 1 billion mark.

To be honest, the stars who have been drinking tea for a few days have made a significant contribution to this achievement.

In order to "thank" them, Shanhe Company decisively sent them on the last journey of their artistic journey.

"Shanhe Company resolutely resists this violation of the law..."

Once the message was released, major official accounts responded quickly.

In particular, the public security and drug control-related departments gave the greatest support to this statement.

"With this, I don't believe there will be another Zhang Mo or Niu Mingming like that, who were arrested but could make a comeback later."

At the premiere of "In My Singing Voice", Zhou Mo said something after listening to his assistant's story.

Beside him, Da Tiantian added: "I don't know if those people can make a comeback, but I know that after today, those people in our movie will definitely not be able to appear again."

Zhou Mo chuckled.

"It would be strange if they could get out of jail after embezzling a few small targets of state property. Jail is the fate of that family."

The old process of the premiere went by very quickly.

It is worth noting that some directors who had not had much contact with Zhou Mo in the past came over and communicated with Zhou Mo.

After receiving everyone, Da Tiantian felt a little strange.

"When did you become so close to them? A group of directors treat you like a family member."

Zhou Mo thought for a moment and came up with the answer.

"Emmmm... maybe they think that I finally made this kind of realistic film, and that I no longer blindly pursue the commercial attributes of the film, but have a humanitarian spirit like them?"

Da Tiantian deeply felt that Zhou Mo was bragging.

He said suspiciously: "Humanitarianism? Do you have such a thing?"

Zhou Mo asked back: "Why, do you think I don't have it?"

Da Tiantian shook her head: "It's hard to say."

Hey!
Zhou Mo felt that this sister really felt a bit like Pikachu's younger brother recently:
My skin is too itchy. "Sweet."

"Ok?"

"Now is not the time for you to eat Ansai waist drum and make a lot of noise. Why are you so arrogant?"

When Da Tiantian heard this, her face turned red for a moment.

But his action gave Zhou Mo a provocative look.

Zhou Mo ignored her and kept the matter in mind for the time being, treating it as a day off for the slap.

When the process is almost over.

Da Tiantian entered the theater first, while Zhou Mo stayed outside until the end.

Just as I was about to go back, there was another person in front of me.

It was Liu Yifei who had disappeared for many chapters.

"Hmm? Xixi, long time no see." Zhou Mo took the initiative to greet her.

"Yes, we haven't seen each other for a long time. As soon as we meet, there is competition." Liu Yifei said in a bleak tone.

It is now the end of August, and the final chapter of her current drama "The Four" will be released in the next two days.

Not only her, but the entire crew of "The Four" panicked when they thought about being in the same production period as Zhou Mo.

Everyone knows that being in the same crew with Zhou Mo will lead to no good results.

Zhou Mo understood what she meant.

"Xixi, there's no need to compare them like this. The Four and My Song are not on the same track. There's no comparison at all. Just do your best."

Liu Yifei nodded, feeling indeed relieved.

Just as I was about to say thank you, I heard Zhou Mo say.

"Besides, even if you compete with me, you will definitely not be able to beat me."

Liu Yifei:......

"Director Zhou, thank you."

"You're welcome. Helping friends relieve their boredom is my forte."

Zhou Mo looked at the time and found that it was indeed time.

Calling Liu Yifei, he went straight into the venue.

"Come on, don't just stand here like an idiot. The movie will start soon."

The two walked into the venue together. On the way, Liu Yifei asked, "Director Zhou, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making a movie like "In My Singing Voice"? "

Although she had not read the script of "In My Song", she had indeed heard of its reputation.

All I can say is that she was shocked by the few words that leaked from the crew.

After the shock, a feeling of anticipation rose in my heart.

This kind of content.

This kind of plot.

As long as it can be photographed, it will definitely not be bad.

At this stage, Liu Yifei has high demands on herself.

In her opinion, even though she reached the peak as soon as she debuted and it seemed like she never made the right choices afterwards, she still wanted to be a good actor.

In other words, she, Liu Yifei, really wants to improve herself!

To become a good actor, you need guidance from a big boss.

It’s a pity that she is not favored by big directors at this stage.

Even with Zhou Mo, she only cooperated with him once and never found another opportunity to continue working with him.

It’s not that she didn’t follow her mother’s advice and tried to develop a relationship with Zhou Mo.

But the fact is, Zhou Mo has been running around since last year, and it is difficult to even contact him during normal times.

How can we cooperate if we can’t see each other?

When Zhou Mo heard the question, he told the truth: "I just took the photo when I wanted to. There's no special reason."

After hearing this, Liu Yifei felt a little disappointed.

"Director Zhou, to shoot a movie of this level, the requirements for the actors must be very high."

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have contacted the international chapter so early."

International chapter...

There was a flash of respect in Liu Yifei's eyes, which was admiration for Zhang Ziyi's acting skills.

"Director Zhou, do you think I'll have the opportunity to work in the future and be featured in works that only actors of Zhang Ziyi's level can perform?" Liu Yifei's words were filled with longing.

Zhou Mo grinned and said, "Xixi."

"Ok?"

"I feel that life is something that needs to be fought for once. Only after fighting for once can people discover that some things..."

"Some things..." Liu Yifei's eyes lit up.

"Some things can't be accomplished by hard work alone." Zhou Mo said in a firm voice.

Liu Yifei:......

My scalp is itchy and I feel like I'm losing my brain.

As he spoke, Zhou Mo brought Liu Yifei to her seat.

I sat with the main creators of the crew, waiting for the movie to begin.

As soon as I sat down, I heard a gasp.

"Why, you're so excited to see me."

"Not only excited, but also scared." Wang Baobao said in a low voice.

"There's no need to be afraid. What you need to do now is to adjust your mindset and wait for the warm applause after the movie ends."

applause?

The other main creators were a little hesitant at first.

Based on the content of this movie, will the audience really applaud enthusiastically after watching it?

At the same time, the movie officially begins.

The first scene of the movie begins.

This is a line from the skit "Cheer Up" that once appeared in the Spring Festival Gala:
Workers should think about the country. If I don’t quit my job, who will?

When the actor Huang Hong on the screen said this, the expressions of many older people in the theater changed instantly.
