Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 453 The movie begins, the first half is a mess

The premiere of "Entertainment Circle" is about to begin.

Fan Qiaoqiao originally didn't want to hold a premiere, because she found that after two promotional videos, the pace in the circle was even greater than she thought, and much greater.

In just over half a month, some people not only called her, but even went to her place hoping to meet her.

So, she thought it would be better to release the film as planned.

The premiere is really unnecessary.

It's too much of a waste of publicity.

Unfortunately, both Comrades Lao Han and Xiao Han did not agree.

This is Comrade Xiao Han’s first film as a director, so how can we not hold a premiere?

Not only should it be done, but it should be done on a large scale.

Unable to twist the thigh with the arm, Fan Qiaoqiao could only start the invitation with tears in his eyes.

After the invitations were sent out, many people really didn't want to attend the premiere. They had already smelled the bloody smell before the premiere even started, and they were shocked by how tragic the scene must have been.

It’s a pity that no one can escape the call of Lao Han’s notification.

Don't treat a retired chairman as a cadre.

As a result, on the day of the premiere, the number of people who came to the scene was actually more than the number of guests who attended the "Let the Bullets Fly" that year.

Zhou Mo helped to welcome the guests as usual, after all, it was his own company's movie.

What I didn’t expect was that Huang Xiaoming also came to help.

"Brother Xiaoming, why are you here to welcome guests?" Zhou Mo asked.

"Qiao Qiao said that there were too many people coming and they were short of people to do the work. It just so happened that I had a cameo role in the film, so Qiao Qiao called me over." Huang Xiaoming sighed.

Zhou Mo saw his sad expression and laughed.

"Brother Xiaoming, logically you shouldn't be filming this movie, so why are you on board?"

Huang Xiaoming said helplessly: "When Qiao Qiao approached me, Zhi E said that the movie version of "Entertainment Circle" was similar to the TV version. I didn't think much about it, so I agreed. Who would have thought that the content would be so explosive."

Zhou Mo shook his head and said, "Actually, that's not wrong. The two versions are indeed similar. They are both economic phenomena in the entertainment industry. There's not much difference."

Huang Xiaoming was helpless about Zhou Mo's banditry and sighed: "Come to think of it, this matter has something to do with you, Director Zhou."

"Me? What does it have to do with me?"

Huang Xiaoming looked at Zhou Mo with eyes like a concubine who was banished to the cold palace: "Director Zhou, when Qiao Qiao came to me, he said that my role was written by you based on me, so I didn't think much about it at all."

Zhou Mo spread his hands and said, "That's true. The role was indeed written based on you, but I never told Sister Qiao Qiao that I wanted to invite you to go. She made the decision on her own.

This time, she has screwed you over. You have a culprit for your wrongdoing and you can slowly sort it out.”

As soon as the words fell, another voice interrupted the two of them.

"What are you talking about so happily? I heard you two discussing me from quite far away."

Zhou Mo sold out Huang Xiaoming on the spot: "Brother Xiaoming said that you led him into a trap. Sister Qiaoqiao, you can do whatever you want."

Fan Qiaoqiao raised his eyebrows and looked at the leader: "Is that so? Xiao Ming?"

Huang Xiaoming changed his tone and said righteously, "How could that be, Qiao Qiao? Director Zhou misunderstood me just now. I am purely thanking you. If it weren't for your invitation, I would have suffered a great loss this time."

After these words were spoken, the three of them smiled at the same time.

Huang Xiaoming's words are the fundamental reason why he is truly willing to participate in "Entertainment Circle".

As for everything else, Fan Qiaoqiao's invitation as a friend and Zhou Mo's writing of roles as a director were just icing on the cake.

As for the losses he mentioned, of course, they are the follow-up reactions that will be caused after the release of "Entertainment Circle".

In his previous life, after Xiao Cui carried a bomb and bravely exposed the tax problems in the entertainment industry, the stock prices of many companies in the world experienced a horrible decline overnight.

In this life, the impact brought by the release of "Entertainment Circle" will not be worse than Cui Yongyuan's.

Like Huang Xiaoming, he holds shares in more than one film and television company. Among them, since he came from Huayi, he has the most Huayi shares.

Huayi was exactly the target that Cui Yongyuan had attacked in his previous life, so Huayi’s stock price almost collapsed at that time.

But what’s interesting is that in his previous life, before Cui Yongyuan attacked Huayi, Huang Xiaoming had basically withdrawn his funds from Huayi, so the loss was not that much.

But in this life, he hasn't had the time to do so.

Fan Qiaoqiao was essentially giving him inside information in advance, and the price he paid was just to play a role, which was already very friendly of him.

The three of them looked at each other, and everything was said without words. They dispersed and continued their work.

After a while, Zhou Mo waited for Da Tiantian.

She was still wearing thin clothes. As soon as she finished taking photos, she walked over and was immediately pulled aside by Zhou Mo, who handed her a coat.

"Put it on first, it's heated."

"Yeah." Da Tiantian put on her clothes quickly and sighed comfortably: "Cool~"

Since Da Tiantian has arrived, Zhou Mo no longer welcomes the guests.

According to his observation, the people who come later are basically not small-time celebrities, and some of them will even be implied in the movie, so let Huang Xiaoming do the reception work. He has recovered so much loss, so he should do more.

After a while, Da Tiantian's body temperature returned to normal, but she did not rush back. Instead, she stood in the corner of the aisle with Zhou Mo.

Looking at the guests coming and going, she suddenly became poetic: "They certainly didn't expect that the things that worried them in the promotional video before were not actually the main content of the movie."

Zhou Mo had no intention of cooperating. Instead, he said in a funny way, "Of course, after all, there are bigger pills waiting for them later."

Da Tiantian looked at Zhou Mo with disdain: "Why are you so annoying? I just wanted to say a few words with a bit of charm."

Zhou Mo sighed and patted Da Tiantian's head: "Silly child, some things can't be forced. It's not your fault that you are stupid. As long as you don't say anything, not many people will find out that you are a fool."

Da Tiantian's fist instantly hardened.

However, Zhou Mo had already seen that things were not going well, so he ran away.

The two of them found their positions, one in front and one behind.

Before taking his seat, Zhou Mo took a quick look at the guests present. He was more shocked by the all-at-once observation than by the previous sporadic reception.

Zhou Mo noticed some people he hadn't seen before.

The older ones, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie...

The younger ones include the Four Little Flower Girls, and some born in the 90s who have just become famous but have a promising future.

However, compared with the premiere of "Gone Girl" half a year ago, today's scene was quite quiet.

Although all the seats were full, hardly anyone was talking.

Even if she did, she would cover her mouth with her hands and whisper in her ear.

"It seems like everyone is waiting for the movie."

"Yeah, but the movie is about to start."

Obviously, the crew of "Entertainment Circle" also knew the situation, so after a while, the lights were turned off, and the dragon logo flashed on the screen. Everyone stared at the screen intently, with both anticipation and nervousness in their hearts.

Looking forward to how big a hit this movie will be.

I was worried that I might be affected as well.

Amidst such complex emotions, the black screen gradually regained its brightness.

The movie officially begins.

The protagonist of "Entertainment Circle" is Fan Qiaoqiao, and she is the only protagonist, so of course the entire plot revolves around her.

The first ten minutes of the movie mainly tells the story of Fan Qiaoqiao's early development in the entertainment industry.

The story is very simple. It is about a girl named Apple who was discovered by the entertainment industry and had the good fortune to enter it. Later, through her good looks, super high emotional intelligence, and the appreciation of a noble person (Liu Xuehua), she caught the eye of a great writer (Qiong) and played a classic role (Jinsuo) that left a memory in the hearts of countless people.

Later, Ping Guo successfully became a first-class star with the role of Jinsuo and was noticed by many big directors, companies, and crews.

She also seized these opportunities and moved towards a higher position step by step.

Apple is a movie starring Fan Qiaoqiao in 07. The movie was nominated for the 57th Golden Bear Award. It is a more outstanding achievement in Fan Qiaoqiao's career so far, and it is a suitable name for the female lead.

And the content of these ten minutes is not boring.

Although it is just a summary of Fan Qiaoqiao's life, it still includes two highlights.

The first one, of course, is the conflict between the film and television circles of the two places.

Logically speaking, this should have been a big hit. After all, not many people in the past dared to talk about this topic in movies or even in public.

But with the development in recent years, especially after Zhou Mo made many things and frequently broke the box office records, the audience who found this focus suddenly felt bored.

So this is the content. It’s okay then.

Of course, there are a small number of people who are still relatively happy.

For example, Zhao Yanzi.

In the "Entertainment Circle" part of the plot, a supportive attitude is held towards the group of celebrities who dared to go out and explore the market and work hard. She is naturally one of them, which means she is also praised.

I feel naturally happy.

She had thought that Fan Qiaoqiao would try to discredit her in a roundabout way when making this movie, and she was prepared for it. After all, these were their usual tricks in their competition. She didn't expect that he wouldn't do that.

Zhao Yanzi made a decision in her heart.

Based on this plot, she can say a few good words to Fan Qiaoqiao during the interview, which can be regarded as returning the favor.

As for the second breaking point, it is naturally the contradiction between those with professional training and those without professional training.

The conflict between professionals and grassroots in the entertainment industry is long-standing and enduring.

The reason is very simple. There are so few resources and so many people. Even those with professional training don't have enough to share. If you want to get some resources, you have to beg for help, use connections and do favors. Why are you, a non-professional, joining in the fun?

As a result, contradictions naturally arise, and there is basically no room for reconciliation.

ps: Everyone go to bed early, the second chapter will be published tomorrow.
