Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 464 Waterloo

"By the way, Brother Long, I have already written part of the new script. You'd better free up some time in the first half of next year. We should be able to start filming by then."

"No problem. I'm planning to take a break recently, so it's a good opportunity for me to stay at home longer." Cheng Long's tone was slightly relaxed.

The pace of the past few days is a good thing for him anyway.

The burden in my heart is lighter, and I won’t feel so much pressure when I get home.

After hanging up the phone.

Da Tiantian sighed: "Come to think of it, I really didn't expect that Prince Long would actually charge in the end. I remember Brother Long said that he didn't want to go out for a while. He locked himself in the room all day and didn't want to go out?"

“I didn’t expect that, but it’s not surprising. Prince Long is not someone who will just accept things as they come, and now he can be considered to be purifying the entertainment industry.

Haven't you seen what people are saying online? They say that Prince Long is now the god of toilet war, an invincible person, meaning that he himself is not clean anymore, so no one else with shit on them can escape.

What else can you say? Prince Long has a lot of experience fighting in shit. No matter how clean someone pretends to be, he will drag them into the pit and defeat them with his rich experience. "

When Da Tiantian heard this, her expression twisted.

"Stop talking, you don't feel disgusted."

Zhou Mo spread his hands: "I didn't say that, it was said by netizens. Besides, how do you know that Prince Long doesn't like to hear it?"

Da Tiantian couldn't stand it anymore and turned away.

Zhou Mo opened his mobile phone and continued to read netizens' comments online.

So damn talented.

The aristocracy of shit.

Beast Ancestor.

I watched it for more than two hours.

It was not until my neck was sore that I remembered to put down my phone, stretch and prepare for bed.

As a result, Da Tiantian ran in again, and seeing that Zhou Mo had already shrunk into the quilt, she immediately overturned the table like a hungry tiger.

"Hey! Wake up!"

Zhou Mo shuddered and pulled the quilt back.

"What's the matter? You're so excited."

"It really worked, Zhou Mo!"

"what happened?"

"Those people from Nuli have agreed to cooperate with us and have told the screenwriter of the project. They didn't know about this situation at the beginning and were deceived..."

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "I don't know the situation. I was deceived. Do you believe this?"

"Of course I don't believe it."

"I believe."

Da Tiantian was stunned: "You believe it... No, what bad things are you hiding?"

"How can we say that we are holding back? They said it themselves that they were deceived. We must respect the facts, film what happened, and then broadcast it to the audience."

Da Tiantian stopped talking, shocked by Zhou Mo's plan.

So cruel.

"You mean to film the part where they communicate with the company?"

"Of course, I've told you everything that's true and accurate. Do you want to make it up?"

"No, of course not." Da Tiantian shook her head.

She also thought it was interesting.

"Then I'll give Jia Nu another call to see if she's still willing to take over this play."

"Well, if she doesn't want to, then call someone else."

Directors also have a contempt chain. Generally speaking, directors who have achieved success in movies don’t want to go back to making TV series. He doesn’t know what Han Jianuo would think.

Just ask first.

Anyway, the company has no shortage of directors who can shoot this kind of TV series. Just be bold and raise the standards.

……

in the following days.

Film shooting has returned to normal life.

December is already halfway over.

The filming of the movie has also entered its final stages. In the film market, in addition to the fact that Prince Long directly forced "Fleeting Time" to withdraw, another major event occurred.

Jiang Wen, once the number one director in China, is the director who created such famous works as "Let the Bullets Fly".

Suffered a Waterloo.

The second part of his Republic of China trilogy, "One Step Away", which took him three years to finish, saw a huge drop in the box office.

The first day box office was 80 million.

The box office for that day was 70 million.

The box office on the third day was 100 million.

Box office on the fourth day: 70 million.

The box office performance in the first four days was all very good, and the results were all online. To be honest, it was better than the box office performance of "Entertainment Circle" which caused a major earthquake in the entertainment industry last month.

I thought it was another phenomenon and movie comparable to "Let the Bullets Fly", and all major promotional platforms were promoting it vigorously. The movie commentary came out the day after the movie was released.

Even if the final box office may not be able to match the 2 billion total box office of "Cold Wind", maybe it can still make more than 1 billion in the end.

However, even in this favorable situation, the movie’s box office on the fifth day was released.

Twenty-three million.

The box office dropped by 70%.

It just made all the crew members of "One Step Away" dumbfounded.

Even Jiang Wen himself didn't react.

It couldn't last more than four days. Isn't this one of those movies in the industry that says "the movie is not that good, it's all supported by the reputation of the main creative crew"?
The same situation occurred with the painting “Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains” back then.

It was great a few days ago.

It didn't even last five days and it just wilted away.

At the same time, some negative comments have gradually appeared on the Internet.

"I can't understand it. It's too profound."

This is still good.

"Pretending to be profound and mysterious."

This is more direct.

Fortunately, the atmosphere within the crew of "One Step Away" was relatively calm after a brief period of easing.

It's just a one-day reversal, maybe there is something wrong.

Ma Ke called Zhou Mo and said calmly, "I told Lao Jiang at the time that this is not that scary. Let the Bullets Fly had a similar situation. The box office was high in the first three days, but it dropped by half on the fourth day, and it was back to normal on the fifth day.

I guess the situation will be similar when the news about “I Don’t Know” comes out tomorrow.”

Zhou Mo shook his head over the phone.

The situations are not nearly the same.

It's clearly far from it.

"Bullet" was released on a Monday that year, and the market was not developed enough.

There is no chance of reversal in the situation of "One Step Away" where there is no village in front and no shop behind.

What's more, the change from 70 million to 20 million has already happened, and you are still comforting yourself here.

So, he didn't respond to Marco's words.

Marco waited for a long time but didn't get any response from Zhou Mo, and suddenly he lost confidence.

"Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo?"

"Hey, Ma Ge, you go ahead."

"Is the signal bad? I heard you didn't say anything."
