Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 439 All my achievements are due to the efforts of the system
In fact, Zhou Mo did not hide anything anymore.

He is not Hidetaka Miyazaki, so it is enough for him to just hide something a little.

Where can I hide forever?

But the guests were very cautious and waited until the movie was completely over and the main creators began to go on stage before they concluded that the movie was completely over.

At this time, everyone realized that it was time to move on to the next step.

On the stage, Zhang Ziyi and her group were waiting for the audience's reaction, but after waiting for a while, they still didn't hear any movement. Everyone seemed to have fallen into silence, and they felt disappointed.

what's the situation?
Everyone thinks this movie is bad?

its not right.

She herself thinks this movie is pretty good.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is one of the best films she has made in recent years.

Both in scale and depth, they rank among the best in her entire career.

She glanced at Zhou Mo secretly and found that he looked calm. Besides her, everyone else was also looking at Zhou Mo.

"It seems that everyone is panicking just like me." Zhang Guoji breathed a sigh of relief.

Since everyone was panicking, she was no longer panicking.

This shows that it is not just her problem.

In the past few years since she returned to China, the various paces have made her doubt her own reputation.

His acting skills may still be there, but whether people in the industry welcome him or not is another matter.

Whether the audience welcomes it or not is another matter.

But now, since everyone has doubts, it means it has little to do with her.

On the other side, Zhou Mo noticed everyone's gaze and said something in a low voice.

"Don't worry, it's no problem."

The idea that there could be something wrong with the movie had never entered his mind.

joke.

That's the standard.

That’s the content.

How could we possibly encounter a Waterloo?

Don’t think that people in the entertainment industry don’t like to gossip.

No matter how rich people in the entertainment industry are, they are not officials. They still like to eat gossip about officials.

Even eat more.

The voice just fell.

In the theater, some scattered applause suddenly came from somewhere in the corner. When the guests heard the sound, they woke up from their dreams and started to applaud.

At the end, the continuous applause in the entire theater lasted for a long time.

Some older people, and those who prefer art films, stood up and gave the warmest applause to Weekend and his group on the stage.

It's been so many years since I've seen such a movie.

Such straightforward words, such strong emotions, and such profound descriptions made those who had experienced the times feel as if they had returned to the last century.

Some actors from the three provinces obviously felt it more deeply.

Many of them, unlike other actors who could only learn about those events from newspapers, news and other media, actually experienced that era.

In the past, there were very few movies that really dared to talk about this issue and had enough exposure.

"The Piano in a Factory" is one, but the traffic is no match at all.

Furthermore, the perspective of the film is still focused on the common people, and does not look upward.

In comparison, "In My Singing" is undoubtedly much bolder and more soul-stirring.

So, they are willing to give all their applause to this movie.

After a moment, the applause stopped.

According to the original plan, they should first conduct interviews within the crew, recall the difficulties, express their feelings, and hope for results.

However, since the host saw how excited the guests were, he discussed with Zhou Mo and decided to postpone the interview with the crew and interview the guests first.

So, Zhang Yimou became the first person to stand up and be interviewed.

This situation exceeded many people's expectations.

Including Zhou Mo.

The reason for the surprise is nothing else but that Zhang Yimou’s current status in the circle is still too high.

In 2014, Zhang Yimou was not the emo director who would shock audiences at every turn, who had more scenes than actors in his movies, and who even made the empty box office "Half Lake Green" with a "one-shot" shot. Now Zhang Yimou has broken the box office record of domestic art films with the 2.95 million box office of "Coming Home" last year.

There was also news this year that Zhang Yimou would serve as the chief director of the main promotional video for the 2022 Winter Olympics.

So, when Zhang Yimou took the initiative to ask to be the first to be interviewed, almost no one competed with him.

In addition to Jiang Wen, Lao Jiang also wants to say something.

It’s a pity that Lao Jiang and his wife habitually sat in the corner and couldn’t grab the seat from Lao Mouzi who was sitting in the front row.

And Zhang Yimou's speech was also very direct, it was just praise.

Sitting in front of his seat, Lao Mouzi looked at Zhou Mo with a smile on his face. He kept looking at him until he felt a little numb, then he slowly spoke: "The quality of this movie is beyond my imagination. To be honest, I didn't expect such a movie to appear in the hands of Director Zhou.

In my impression, Director Zhou had never made an art film before, and had always been more inclined to make commercial films. I thought he would try art films in a few years.

But now it seems that I was too arrogant. I have a feeling that after Director Zhou’s film is released, the art film record that I finally broke last year may be replaced immediately…”

This evaluation is not low.

When everyone heard it for the first time, they were a little surprised.

But on second thought, compared to the style and tone of "The Return" which is full of sadness and makes people cry, "In My Song" is indeed better.

Regardless of anything else, at least at the end of the movie, Zhang Jie was caught.

And then there are the practical factors.

It is indeed possible to get the audience to watch it several times.

After Lao Mouzi finished his speech, the audience began to applaud.

The main creators on the stage were all so excited that they couldn't control themselves.

Among this large group of people, except for Zhang Ziyi, the rest have never worked with Zhang Yimou before. They were so excited to hear Zhang Yimou say this.

This means that their comeback, efforts and abilities have been recognized.

There are a few actors who don't want their abilities to be recognized.

Many times, certification from a big boss makes people more excited than making millions.

After Lao Mouzi, the next person to be interviewed was Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen’s praise was also very direct, but not as direct as Zhang Yimou’s.

Lao Jiang came up and made a joke.

"I am different from Director Zhang. I think Director Zhou will start shooting art films very early. After all, he likes to break records. My generation all started with art films at a relatively early age. If he wants to break records, he must hurry up and shoot."

As they listened, everyone felt something was wrong. Director Jiang Mingmin was praising himself.

Jiang Wen continued, "After watching this movie today, I discovered something. What is it? Director Zhou's style of art films is different from ours. In other words, he has found his own way...

This is a very precious situation.

Art films combined with reality is actually a very common image, but combined with the current reality, it has to be said to be very novel and a path we have never chosen before.”

Zhou Mo pursed his lips and said nothing.

Not only has this road never appeared in China, it has basically never appeared in other places.

After all, he was able to shoot this thing thanks to cheating.

I, Zhou Mo, can achieve what I have today, all thanks to the efforts of the system.jpg
Zhou Mo picked up the microphone and joked, "After all, I am still too young and lack a lot of experience. I am far from being able to compete with older directors in traditional themes.

In addition, as Director Jiang said, if you can't compete with them but still want to achieve some success, you can only find another way.

I am glad that, judging from your reactions so far, my attempt has worked quite well.”

The host took the opportunity to ask, "Director Zhou, do you mind if someone borrows your method and makes this kind of movie in the future?"

Zhou Mo: "Of course I don't mind. In fact, I really hope that more and more similar movies will appear. This way, at least when I look for actors for an art film next time, the actors won't be so hesitant."

When many people heard this, they thought to themselves, "Who would dare to be like you and take pictures of what is happening?"

"Director Zhou, when you were making this movie, did you ever think about the possible reactions it might cause?"

Zhou Mo: "Of course I have considered it, but isn't that the case with filmmaking? There will always be influences. The only thing I can do is to seek truth from facts and not make up stories.

The public will judge right from wrong, and I believe the public's simple emotions will give this film a suitable final evaluation."

The host nodded.

According to previous discussion, they would not dwell on this topic for too long.

To have come this far is already big enough.

Next, return to the normal process.
