Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 45 I also want to invest

The visitors were none other than Mr. Yang from Eagle King and the legendary agent Ms. Huo.

Faced with Zhou Mo's surprise, Boss Yang seemed very calm.

"I apologize for disturbing Director Zhou's sweet dream so early in the morning."

"It is a great honor for Boss Yang to be here. Please come in."

Zhou Mo said politely and welcomed the two into the room.

After taking a seat.

Boss Yang spoke first: "Come, let me introduce Director Zhou, this is Huo Wenxi, the managing director of our company."

Huo Wenxi stretched out his right hand: "Director Zhou, sorry to bother you."

Zhou Mo looked at the legendary agent in front of him and thought that it was just as what was said on the Internet. She was more beautiful than a lot of female stars in the entertainment industry, and she also had the temperament of a workplace elite.

Damn cook!
Zhou Mo smiled slightly and stretched out his hand.

"Ms. Huo, I have long heard of your name."

"Just call me Mani."

After introducing each other, Boss Yang spoke first: "Director Zhou, you came to Xiangcheng this time but didn't let me fulfill my duty as a host. That's really not very kind of you."

Zhou Mo had already guessed the reason why the boss came. Upon hearing this, he got straight to the point and said, "Boss Yang, you want to talk about the investment in New World, right?"

Boss Yang had originally been thinking about chatting with Zhou Mo for a while before getting down to business, but he didn't expect the other party to be so direct and get right to the point.

Why doesn't this guy play by the rules?

But this guy was also a quick-witted person, and he immediately said, "Yes, I came here for New World. Didn't we agree at the celebration party for Bullet that if Director Zhou needed investment for his movie, I would definitely get some help. I heard that Director Zhou was coming here a few days ago, but I waited and waited but didn't see him. It was so frustrating."

"It doesn't matter. There is still a chance."

"So, I, the Eagle King, can also get a share of the pie?"

Zhou Mo didn't waste any words and immediately stretched out a finger: "Ten million."

He did not ask Boss Yang whether he was afraid that the film would fail at the box office or why he chose to invest in "New World".

joke.

If you don’t even have this much confidence in making a movie, what’s the point of making a movie?

I might as well go back to my hometown and sell sweet potatoes.

Boss Yang originally thought that it would be difficult to get an investment share this time. After all, Zhou Mo’s first movie was fully invested by him and Starlight, and even Marco was not allowed to intervene.

As an investor in "Bullet", Boss Yang is very clear about these things.

At this moment, hearing Zhou Mo's straightforward agreement, he was surprised and clapped his hands immediately: "Director Zhou, you are so loyal."

Zhou Mo waved his hands, indicating that it was not a big deal.

He had always seen it clearly.

I don’t look for others to help me with “Broken Heart” because the cost is low, the return is high, and I can make a profit without losing money.

"New World" divides the investment amount to make people work.

Anyway, "New World" already has three investors, so finding another investor is not a big deal.

Lice don't itch.

These days, the one who takes other people’s money is the boss.

With the funding from Eagle King, the filming of "New World" will surely go more smoothly.

Although Daoying has declined, its heritage remains.

Many facilities and production lines are complete.

Relying on the industries of the two companies to buy these things can save Zhou Mo a lot of money.

After the share was determined, the two sides began to negotiate terms.

When it comes to business, Zhou Mo has a very positive attitude.

"Boss Yang, what conditions can you offer for this 10 million share?"

"I'll take care of everything related to the release of New World in Hong Kong."

Zhou Mo shook his head: "Not enough, Boss Lin has already promised to release it."

Upon hearing this, Boss Yang slapped his thigh.

"Mr. Lin, you're a dead idiot."

Zhou Mo looked at his angry expression and suddenly thought of the grudge between the two of them——

Teacher Chen, Infernal Affairs, xx Gate, Gemini.
Tsk tsk.

Teacher Chen is truly deeply sinful.

Boss Yang was robbed of the opportunity and could only take a step back: "I don't know what Director Zhou needs, but whatever I can do, just ask."

Zhou Mo glanced at the two people in front of him and smiled shyly: "That's so embarrassing."

"It's okay, Director Zhou, just speak up."

On the side, Huo Wenxi, who had been sitting quietly in the chair, suddenly felt panicked when he noticed Zhou Mo's gaze.

No way……

Even Boss Yang noticed it and raised his eyebrows slightly. I've never heard of this kid having this habit...

However, before Huo Wenxi could finish comforting herself in her heart, Zhou Mo pointed a finger at her and said slowly: "I want her!"

Huo Wenxi was shocked when he heard this: "Director Zhou, you are joking..."

Zhou Mo coughed lightly and said seriously, "Our company has recently made personnel adjustments. We hope to invite Mr. Huo to come to our company for some guidance."

Huo Wenxi:
She looked at Zhou Mo's "pure" eyes, doubting herself whether she had overreacted just now.

Maybe Director Zhou is one of the most serious people in the entertainment industry.

Although this is nonsense.

Even she didn't believe it herself.

Boss Yang didn't express his opinion until Zhou Mo finished explaining. Then he seemed shocked and said, "That won't do. Wenxi is my trusted general. The company can't run without her."

With just one sentence, the awkwardness just now was easily resolved.

Zhou Mo coughed lightly: "Does that mean... I have to pay more?"

"It's okay, I'll go." Huo Wenxi adjusted his mood and made amends for his previous gaffe: "It's my honor to visit Director Zhou's company."

After agreeing on a time, Zhou Mo said, "Also, I need to borrow another person from you."

"Who?"

"Dr. Chen."

"No problem, Director Zhou, are you going to ask a doctor to sing the theme song?"

"No, I plan to ask him to act as a driver."

At the beginning of "New World", after the boss of Kinmen was released on bail, he was sitting at the intersection waiting for the traffic light when he was suddenly sent to another world by a large truck.

In the original movie, it was not revealed who was driving the truck. Based on the subsequent plot, some people speculated that it was Li Zicheng who did it.

This time, Zhou Mo suddenly had an idea and planned to arrange for Dr. Chen to be the driver for the Golden Gate Boss, and the driver of the truck was the hair dryer in the music industry, Wu Bai——

He plans to recreate some famous scenes from "New Police Story".

It just so happened that "New Police Stories" was originally produced by Huan Ya, and Boss Lin had already agreed to help him contact Wu Bai.

If we can get another Dr. Chen, we can even save money on the theme song.

After listening to Zhou Mo's introduction, Huo Wenxi was amazed at Zhou Mo's ingenious idea of ​​inserting Easter eggs in the movie, but he also felt amused and sad about his reason of just saving money. He sighed: "Director Zhou is really... taking advantage of every opportunity."

Zhou Mo was in high spirits and proud of his money-saving plan.

The only thing more exciting in the world than saving money is saving more money.

When he heard the compliment out of the blue, he just casually replied, "There has to be a gap to insert it, a needle alone won't do."

Huo Wenxi: ...

I'm wrong.

This guy is not a serious person.

After discussing the investment, Boss Yang took his people and left.

Before leaving, he said there would be a banquet in the evening and asked Zhou Mo to attend.

Zhou Mo has no objection.

He came here with the intention of exploring the local customs and culture.

If you have the chance, you can also watch the "ball" game.

Of course, it would be useless for him to play ball himself, as this is not his territory and he would be easily cheated.

For two consecutive days, Zhou Mo attended several banquets, large and small, and gradually got to know some bosses.

During this period, I also met the legendary Baihua hermit——

The one who went to see the Fengma show.

When Zhou Mo met her, she was following Boss Lin's son like a little bird, looking exceptionally well-behaved.

After greeting them, Mr. Lin said, "If there is a chance, please Director Zhou give my little treasure a spot."

Zhou Mo laughed.

This guy is so powerful that he is afraid that he will be scolded to death by his fellow book friends.

Two days later, Zhou Mo left Xiangcheng and returned to Yanjing.

After discussing with the company's head, I felt that the information about the "New World" project could be released.

The moment the news was announced.

Zhou Mo's phone was bombarded with calls again.

　Thanks to book friend Fallen Mad God Sha for the monthly ticket.

　　Thanks to book friend 20180903000322073 for the recommendation vote.

　　Thanks to book friend Liu Xumantian for the recommendation.

　　Some book lovers want to see the protagonist direct and act in the film himself, while some readers don’t like to see the protagonist direct and act in the film himself, so I plan to try both.

　　I'm still asking for recommendations, collections, and follow-up reading. Thank you everyone.
