Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 516 Reactions from all parties
Zhou Mo felt the object like a small stove in his arms.

"What does this mean, Princess Sweetie?"

"You made me the center of attention today. I am very happy, so I came to reward you. Don't be proud."

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows.

What about rewards?
Then he won't be polite.

……

While the room was filled with joy, the outside world was already in an uproar.

Local time, six o'clock in the morning.

Cannes dominated the hot searches on all major platforms.

Three shots in one shot!
This is a magnificent sight that has never appeared in any Cannes Film Festival in the past.

The most important thing is that all three awards are very valuable.

A lifetime achievement.

A best director.

There is also a Palme d'Or!

In the whole of China, the film industry has been developing for so many years, but there is only one Golden Palm record, that of Brother Kaizi. Today it was finally broken.

No one would think that "JERK" is not a Chinese film.

Although the leading actors of the film were found from Hollywood, and in order to win awards, they also specifically called for investment from France's Canal, but the two most important people in the entire film project were:

director.

investor.

Being Chinese is enough.

What's more, when registering the information for "JERK" this year, Zhou Mo specially added Ning Hao's name, counting him as one of the screenwriters.

When he asked someone to help him come up with a script, instead of shirking his responsibility, he directly sent a book of inspiration for Zhou Mo to choose from.

Now that we have started to share the credit, it is natural that they should be included in the credit.

Director + producer + screenwriter all in one, who can say this movie is not a Chinese movie?

Director Tong was the first to disagree.

Radio and television.

Director Tong felt helpless when he heard the voice on his phone saying "The number you dialed is powered off..."

He was one of the first people to get the news, and as soon as he heard the news, he started contacting several directors.

After taking it over, Jia Zhangke was contacted, Hou Xiaoxian was also contacted, but Zhou Mo's phone was turned off.

The most outrageous thing is that once, the number was dialed, but Zhou Mo hung up. When I called again, it was turned off again.

Director Tong knew what Zhou Mo had done just by using his toenails to think.

I threw my phone on the table, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"This Zhou Mo is so lazy. Not only did he not answer the phone right away, he didn't even reply to a message."

Next to him, his wife heard this and comforted him, "Please be considerate. Giving out awards is not like eating or drinking. It must have taken a lot of effort to run the business. Xiao Zhou finally won the award, and you can't allow him to take a break?
You, instead of waiting for his call now, you should think about the public opinion in the next period of time. You must control the direction well, otherwise a good thing will turn into a bad thing. "

Director Tong nodded.

"Don't worry, Zhou Mo is a great contributor to the country this time. He will get everything he deserves and nothing he shouldn't get."

He said with emotion: "When Lao Han first recommended Zhou Mo to me two years ago, I felt that he was just a young man with some talent, even a little arrogant. I didn't expect that in just a few years, he has come to this point today.

The Palme d'Or, there hasn't been one in many years. I even thought that by the time I retire, it would be difficult to get one again.

Unexpectedly, it happened faster than I thought. "

When the lady heard this, she understood this mentality very well.

It is extremely difficult to win a Palme d'Or. Without the right time, place and people, it is difficult to obtain such a high honor.

However, due to various reasons, it is even more difficult to obtain it in China.

Just look at Brother Kaizi and you will know.

It has been 22 years since "Farewell My Concubine" was released, and Kaizi's Palme d'Or title has not only not diminished, but has become increasingly brighter.

As he spoke, Director Tong picked up his phone again and dialed the number of his subordinate.

I can’t get through to Zhou Mo on the phone, and I can’t get through to my subordinates on the phone?

After just ten seconds of sound, the call was connected.

The subordinate's voice sounded focused and energetic, as if he had not slept all the time and was just waiting for this call.

"You already know the matter."

"Well, don't worry, leader. I'll keep an eye on the publicity."

Director Tong said “hmm” and felt very satisfied.

He said a few more words and then hung up the phone.

I called Zhou Mo again, but after a few beeps, his phone was still turned off.

have to.

It seems that we won’t be able to wait until the afternoon.

After knowing Zhou Mo for a few years, he has gradually adapted to some of Zhou Mo's habits.

Just wait. A Palme d'Or, which happened during his tenure, was enough for him to wait patiently for a day.

……

Director Tong’s reaction to the Palme d’Or is just one of the reactions of many relevant people.

It's not even very representative.

More people in the entertainment industry, such as actors, pay more attention to Da Tiantian than to Zhou Mo himself.

Anyway, Zhou Mo has been striving for international awards since two years ago, and he has not stopped in the past two years.

It won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes and the Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars.

Here comes another Palme d'Or.

It’s really amazing.

But I've become a little numb.

Anyway, for many actors, Zhou Mo, as a director, has been awesome for a long time, and he is even more awesome now.

Although there have been changes before and after, he has always been in a state that makes them look up to him.

And the other person who took the stage that night.

Big sweet.

It kept many people awake all night.

This is an actress made of 24K pure gold.

He actually stood on the stage.

It can be said that the scene of Da Tiantian and Zhou Mo going on stage together made countless actresses and male stars in the circle feel like they are on a roller coaster, with ups and downs, so much so that they didn't know what to say.

It’s a big problem. Da Tiantian didn’t get the role as the leading lady, and she didn’t even have a role in “JERK”.

It’s not a big problem. Da Tiantian appeared on stage as a producer, which is more important and has a higher status than the heroine.

Compared with actors and producers, everyone’s first choice is definitely the producer.

Although everyone actually knows that when "Gone Girl" was released last year, Da Tiantian also won the Cannes Jury Prize as a producer.

But she didn't go on stage after all.

If you don’t go on stage, just pretend you don’t know.

It is difficult to deceive others, but easy to deceive yourself.

And since Da Tiantian did not make a big publicity afterwards, it shows that she is still mainly an actress.

But it’s different now. The feeling given by going on stage to receive an award and not going on stage is too different.

America.

The crew of "A Loving Family".

Today was supposed to be the wrap party.

The film was shot for two months and finally came to an end.

I originally wanted to take advantage of the wrap-up party to relax and relieve the fatigue I’ve been feeling recently.

But after watching the Cannes live broadcast, my mood was reduced to two words.

complex.

Just two days ago, everyone was laughing and joking in the same crew.

In the blink of an eye, you have become the producer of the Palme d'Or.

It feels like it was just yesterday when a few people were standing on a big rock at the entrance of the village, competing to see who could pee farther. However, in less than a month, one of the five friends suddenly turned into a big guy wearing blue armor, shouting "loyalty" and rushing into the universe.

Although Tiantian has a good relationship with each of them, the good relationship does not affect the competition.

Everyone, including Da Tiantian, understands this.

In the past, as an actress, although Da Tiantian’s achievements were outrageous, the box office of 2 billion could be said to be a huge mountain standing in front of all the actresses in the circle.

But this does not mean that there is no chance to catch up.

If one movie can’t make 2 billion, you can just take on a few more.

Quality is not enough, quantity is needed.

Da Mimi had this idea before.

As long as they are actors, no matter how big the gap is, it is possible after all.

But for producers at the Palme d'Or level, it is no longer just a matter of gap, but of being in a different dimension.

On the other side, Han Jianu looked at the four silent girls, shook her head and said nothing.

She could basically guess what the four girls were thinking and could understand their emotions.

But for some things, instead of keeping thinking about them, it is better not to think about them as soon as possible, otherwise it will only add to your troubles.

What's more, she had just received the rough manuscript of "Business Tycoon" from Zhou Mo two days ago.

After watching it, it can be said that it is basically a foregone conclusion that this movie will become a hit.

Even if this movie will be directed by Tiantian Jie, it will not affect the final result.

With Zhou Mo in charge, and with the configuration of Shanhe Company's first major comedy film, the performance of this movie will not be bad.

By then, the understanding of these four will probably suffer another wave of shocks.
