Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 511 You two, come here!
Huang Xiaoming was a little surprised after listening to the conversation between several people.

Surpass Da Tiantian’s box office record?

That’s more than 2 billion.

That’s a bit exaggerated.

Huang Xiaoming had heard of the name of "The Mermaid", but he didn't know enough about it. He didn't expect Zhou Mo to be so optimistic about it.

Looking at his fellow countryman: "The Mermaid will perform very well?"

Fan Qiaoqiao nodded and said, "Yes, this movie has all the potential to be a big hit. Even I, the one who made the movie, laughed several times during the filming, not to mention the audience who haven't read the script."

Huang Xiaoming's eyes widened in shock.

I asked subconsciously, "So what do you think the final box office of The Mermaid will be?"

Fan Qiaoqiao glanced at Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian.

"It should be around 2 billion. A higher amount depends on the opportunity."

Da Tiantian waved her hand and said, "Sister Qiao Qiao, you don't have to care about me. I've also seen the movie shot by Zhou Mo and his team. If you ask me, it cost at least 2.5 billion."

As he spoke, he held out the numbers two and five, which continued to shock Huang Xiaoming.

"Two and a half billion..."

"Hey, Brother Xiaoming, I know you are shocked, but don't be shocked yet. Sister Qiaoqiao and I actually made a conservative guess. If you hear Zhou Mo's number, you will be even more shocked."

Huang Xiaoming turned around and looked at Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Under normal circumstances, more than 2 billion is actually pretty good, but you two obviously forgot that this is a movie starring the comedy king Stephen Chow. After eight years, Stephen Chow is back, not as a director, but as an actor.

Just for this gimmick, it must be worth at least 1 billion.”

"really."

The other three said in unison.

Huang Xiaoming said with regret: "If I had known that The Mermaid was so good, I would have fought for a role no matter what."

It’s a pity that the damage has been done.

There's no point in talking about what has already happened.

At this moment, Da Tiantian's eyes turned and she turned her head, and found that Zhou Mo was also looking at her.

Minds think alike.

At this moment, they both knew clearly that they wanted to go together.

Da Tiantian gave Zhou Mo a look:

Can you tell me?
Zhou Mo nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Da Tiantian coughed lightly and said to Huang Xiaoming, "Brother Xiaoming, the Mermaid incident is over. There is no need to feel so sorry. There are still many opportunities in the entertainment industry. There will be opportunities for you to show your talents in the future."

Huang Xiaoming smiled bitterly.

“But opportunities for this kind of comedy are few and far between.”

"Who said that? You clearly have an opportunity right in front of you."

"Huh?" Huang Xiaoming was stunned.

Zhou Mo shook his head and stopped Da Tiantian from pointing at him.

I don't know when this iron-headed kid got infected with the second-year syndrome. It's already this time, and he's still talking nonsense here.

"I'll be frank, Brother Xiaoming, Tiantian had a sudden idea a while ago and wanted to try her hand at being a director. After discussing it, we decided to arrange a comedy movie for her. We're currently in the process of casting. Do you want to come?"

Huang Xiao Kuai Ming was stunned for a moment, looking at the two people in front of him who were almost about to fight.

Somewhat uncertainly, he said, "Tiantian? Filming?"

Da Tiantian's hands were held down and she could only nod.

"Yes, Brother Xiaoming, this opportunity is rare and will never come again. This is my first time making a movie. If you come, I can give you an important supporting actor role. Do you want to come?"

Huang Xiaoming nodded immediately.

"Of course I have to come. Since Tiantian is going to make a movie, I, Huang Xiaoming, must help out. It's just that..."

He paused.

"Tiantian, why did you suddenly think of making a movie?"

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "I told you it was just a sudden idea, there's no need for so many reasons." Huang Xiaoming nodded.

He just asked casually.

No matter what the reason was for Da Tiantian to make this movie, since he had heard about it, he would definitely help.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve your relationship with this visitor.

Fan Qiaoqiao glanced at Zhou Mo.

"You three have a great time chatting, don't forget that I'm still here, Tiantian, after you invited Xiao Ming, why don't you invite me?"

Da Tiantian's eyes lit up.

"Sister Qiao Qiao, you're coming too? You're warmly welcome."

Fan Qiaoqiao took a sip of water and said, "Filming is fine, but I want to know the content of the movie in advance. This request is not too much, right?"

"of course."

Da Tiantian immediately recounted what she and Zhou Mo had discussed on the plane.

After the introduction, Fan Qiaoqiao and Huang Xiaoming looked at each other again and could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

Huang Xiaoming was thinking very clearly.

This is an opportunity to build relationships.

No matter if the movie script given by Da Tiantian is a piece of shit, he can act it happily, do his best, and give it his all.

He even anticipated that if the movie was bad, the audience would start to criticize it.

Then he will stand up in advance and take the blame himself.

Anyway, it's just some insults. Master Huang has long been immune to all poisons.

Using some scolding in exchange for the gratitude of Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian, the return rate is really huge.

On the other hand, Fan Qiaoqiao had almost the same idea.

It’s just that he is not as direct as Huang Xiaoming.

But the connotation is the same.

However, after the two of them thought about the ideas mentioned by Da Tiantian, they found that the plot of this stay was not bad at all, but quite good.

No, it's even good.

This kind of plot setting can be said to be relatively novel in the film industry.

If the shooting level is good, it can definitely reach the level of being hilarious.

While the two were thinking, they heard Da Tiantian mumbling to Zhou Mo.

“Hehe, I knew these two would think the script wasn’t that great, and even if the script wasn’t that great, they would still exaggerate about it.

Then when I tell them the script, they will be absolutely astonished.”

The two came to their senses and looked at Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian who were smiling, and then they realized what was happening.

"Did you and Director Zhou come up with this script together, Tiantian?"

"Well, how do you two feel?"

"Good, very good. This contrast is very interesting. As long as the basic level is reached, the film effect will definitely be very good."

As for whether the basic level can meet the standards.

This is not a problem at all.

Since Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian came up with the script together, Zhou Mo’s help will definitely be needed in the follow-up.

In this way, no matter how many problems there are, they are not a problem.

You can always trust Zhou Mo.

This sentence is now a very popular phrase in the entertainment industry.

"When are we going to sign the contract? I can't wait to start filming?" Huang Xiaoming said directly.

Such a good opportunity should be secured as soon as possible.
