Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 517: Preparing to return home, and the penultimate piece of the puzzle

Zhou Mo slept until dawn.

This time, his arms were no longer empty. The small stove was still wrapped in the quilt, and his body could be seen shaking slightly with his breathing.

Zhou Mo got up quietly, walked to the bathroom and stretched.

Never underestimate the fighting power of a carbon-based creature in high spirits.

Last night, he fought with the female fairy for three hundred rounds and almost failed to subdue the fairy. In the end, he was able to win with his skillful fighting skills.

fighting.

Cool.

After washing up, I ordered breakfast.

Then I started replying to messages, phone calls, and emails, and put the photos I took last night on my own updates, edited the text, and hit send.

This whole process took more than an hour, almost two hours.

When I returned to the room, Da Tiantian had already gotten up.

Radiant and full of energy.

"woke up?"

"Ah."

"hungry?"

"Ah."

"eat."

"it is good."

After a few extremely brief and effective conversations, I started to fill my stomach.

The efficiency of post-war supplies is always faster, not to mention waiting for a whole night.

Ten minutes later, Da Tiantian and Zhou Mo put down the cutlery in their hands.

"Was that a call from domestic leaders just now?"

"Yes, there were people from several departments, coming to congratulate, hold meetings, and build relationships."

Da Tiantian nodded, these were things that had been expected.

"Besides that?" she asked.

"You're famous now. The photos of you accepting the award on stage last night are being circulated everywhere. It's said that you are the youngest producer to win the Palme d'Or. You have a promising future!"

Da Tiantian's pretty eyebrows frowned slightly.

Although it may sound a bit pretentious, she still doesn't want the news of her Palme d'Or producer to spread too widely.

It is an honor to be on stage and win an award.

But on weekdays, she is more accustomed to her identity as an actor.

"Are there any official media propaganda in these news?"

“There is only one official media, and it is a local media, while the others are mostly self-media.

So far, China National Radio has only released basic information and given appropriate praise, but has not made such exaggerated propaganda. "

Da Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief. It would be easy if the official media did not participate in the publicity.

For the rest, just call me later.

"What about you? It's impossible that all the major media outlets are only promoting me. You should be the focus."

"You're right, I am indeed the focus of the publicity, but this is actually nothing. Let me show you something more amazing." Zhou Mo smiled and handed the phone to Da Tiantian.

Da Tiantian glanced at the phone screen.

“The golden age of Chinese-language films has finally begun.”

Hey!
Da Tiantian's eyes widened on the spot.

Which media is so good at writing headlines? They start popping champagne with great fanfare before the parties involved or the official media's opinion is revealed.

Glancing at the media.

Sure enough, it was the infamous one.

When watching the content, the whole process revolves around the three awards at Cannes. I think this indicates that the Chinese film market will get better and better, and international awards will become more and more abundant. "There are too many far-fetched contents in it, and I feel that it is a taste of flattery."

"You're right. Wen Zhang is secretly doing something, but it's not very obvious." Zhou Mo put away his phone.

Da Tiantian asked again: "There should be more than one similar article on the Internet."

Zhou Mo nodded, then gently patted Da Tiantian's hand.

"But don't worry, we don't have to worry about these things, there will be people to take action."

"Who?"

"Director Tong called me today and told me to start my work here without worrying about domestic public opinion, because he will help us solve it."

Da Tiantian said “hmm” and with Director Tong around, it really wasn’t a big deal.

"So what are your plans next? When are we going back?"

"Today is the 26th. If everything goes well, we can go back tomorrow."

"You're in such a hurry, what about the copyright issue?"

"We will talk about the copyright issue after JERK is released in various places. With the support of the Palme d'Or and the content and style of our film, the revenue from its release will definitely be much better than simply selling the copyright."

"Okay, I'll pack my things this afternoon."

"Don't worry, before that, let's go meet someone first."

"Who?"

"Max." Zhou Mo paused: "Or rather, our Melganis."

……

After one hour.

Zhou Mo met Max in the cafe.

When the two met, they hugged each other again.

"Zhou, congratulations again, your change is so obvious, and every time I see you, your achievements amaze me."

"It was you who surprised me. If I had known that you would be the one presenting the award, I wouldn't have been so nervous before." Zhou Mo shook his head and complained.

Max smiled.

"That won't work. The order in which I participate in the awards ceremony must be kept secret. But no matter what, it is always my honor to present the award to you."

"Me too."

After the pleasantries, both parties sat down.

Zhou Mo went straight to the point.

"Max, you've seen our previous collaborations. Regarding the upcoming collaboration between Blizzard and I on World of Warcraft, I suggested to Blizzard that you play the role of Mal'Ganis, the green-winged dreadlord. What do you think?"

Uncle Ba looked at Zhou Mo and did not give an answer immediately.

"To be honest, Zhou, I have some hesitations about cooperating with Blizzard. My company told me some news about Blizzard. It seems that the development of Blizzard in the past few years has not been smooth, and there have been some conflicts within the company.

So, Zhou, before I tell you the answer, I want to ask, how much say do you ultimately get in this collaboration? "

After hearing this, Zhou Mo gained a deeper understanding of Blizzard's reputation in recent years.

Blizzard, Blizzard, look at what you have become now.

I suggest you first understand the basics of making games and running a company.

If this continues, we will be completely finished.

He gave Max a reassuring look.

“To be honest, it’s not as good as in Gone Girl. But I can still make the decisions on most things.

As for other matters, including partners, you are also cooperating with me, so you don’t have to worry about any disputes with Blizzard later on.”

"In that case, it seems that I have no chance to refuse." Max shrugged his shoulders and showed an expression of "Ah, this is God's will."

He is also an old game fan and has no plans to cooperate with these game projects.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have watched "Death Stranding" in my previous life and played so many roles in it.
