Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 529 Let's Give It a Go
Two days later.

Mountains and rivers.

office.

There is only one day left until the release of "JERK".

Zhou Mo, his assistant, the company's manager and others were discussing the promotion of the film.

"I didn't expect that Wu Baige actually made a mistake." Da Tiantian was still a little surprised.

As far as I can remember, this is probably the first time the director has admitted his mistake.

Jiang Wen, Xiao Gangpao, Kaizi Ge, and even Lao Mouzi, have all had experiences with movie flops, but admitting to problems is absolutely impossible for them.

Not only does he not acknowledge the problem, he even argues with the audience.

The term "trash audience" comes from the mouth of Little Cannon.

Wu Baige's peak level and status are even higher than these veteran directors.

It is so rare for a director to admit his mistakes.

Correspondingly, "The Crossing" gained a lot of traffic, even more than what Huayi gained from continuous promotion in the previous month.

Zhou Mo didn’t think much about it, but he was not optimistic about Wu Baige’s move.

Since Wu Baige returned to China, several of his movies have failed, and the audience's trust in him has basically disappeared, and even his peak period has begun to be doubted and denied.

This shows the impression Wu Baige left on the audience.

Although this wave of "admitting the problem" has indeed attracted a lot of attention, most people are still laughing at the joke and some even think "Look, this guy is really no good."

The plan of the Wang brothers was actually quite good, but they overestimated Wu Baige's status in the hearts of the audience and overestimated the audience's determination to vote with their feet.

Da Tiantian has similar idea.

“I now feel that naming the film The Misfortune is a bit of a loss.

As for the current situation with Wu Baige and The Crossing, it is no longer us stepping on him to make more money, but they are riding on our popularity. "

Zhou Mo glanced at her and joked, "Tiantian, you are quite confident."

Who knew that Da Tiantian nodded very firmly.

“Why not? No matter what, if Wu Baige is really confident in his movie, he will never admit the problem.

Since he admitted the problem, it means he is not confident.

If he, the big director who controls everything in a movie, is not confident himself, then I must be more confident. "

Zhou Mo clapped his hands.

"Well said, Tiantian, you really deserve to be a great director!"

Da Tiantian rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're just making trouble. Let's talk about other things. The day before yesterday, Huayi not only admitted the problem with Wu Baige, but also made some moves against the Palme d'Or. What are you prepared for?"

Zhou Mo shook his head.

"No."

Ok?
Da Tiantian was stunned.

"Not prepared? This is not like you. Huayi is doing things secretly, so we should fight back. Otherwise, the fans will think we are scared."

Zhou Mo spread his hands: "The main reason is that it's not necessary. With our current reputation, the audience's trust in us cannot be covered by the Palme d'Or. The one who is most anxious about Huayi targeting the Palme d'Or is Brother Kaizi, it's not our turn yet."

Da Tiantian thought so too.

The reputation and audience trust of Shanhe Company's commercial films have been accumulated through one commercial film after another, much earlier than the Palme d'Or.

Huayi's idea of ​​using the Palme d'Or to drag Zhou Mo into trouble was simply a pipe dream.

On the contrary, Brother Kaizi takes the Palme d'Or issue very seriously. Over the years in China, anyone who wants to discredit the Palme d'Or can be said to be Brother Kaizi's enemy.

"Has Director Chen made any move?"

Zhou Mo gave the manager a look. Da Tiantian looked at the manager, who nodded and said bluntly, "Yes, Mr. Chen started taking action the night before yesterday, placing orders on major platforms to attack The Crossing and Wu Baige. As of this morning, there were no less than 300 videos on the two platforms of Lizhan Entertainment and Duoyin that had negative analysis of The Crossing."

Da Tiantian reacted.

"Lizhan and Zhuyin, that means Director Chen is looking for us to place the order."

"Yes."

Da Tiantian laughed.

Okay.

This can be considered as another case of the snipe and the clam fighting, with the fisherman benefiting.

Originally, Zhou Mo had set his sights on "The Crossing" and "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", hoping to take off directly with the momentum of these two.

Unexpectedly, before Shanhe made any move, the two men stood up.

Now, not only will Chen Hong not have any doubts about Shanhe, she will even thank us.

“I feel like things are going a little too smoothly, so smoothly that it seems fake. In the past, we were always busy with promotions before a movie was released.

However, this time, although I was facing Director Chen and Wu Baige, two directors who could be said to be giants, things went much more smoothly than in the past. "

Zhou Mo reminded.

"Have you forgotten that we are no longer the rookies we were when we founded the company five years ago? We don't even know who is targeting us, and we have to spend money to investigate.

Now, we have won the Palme d'Or, Tiantian. Whether in terms of awards or achievements, we are both well-deserved top in the industry.

Now, whenever we release a movie, it’s never a question of whether or not others should avoid us, and there’s never a time when we need to put in any effort.”

Da Tiantian was actually somewhat moved by Zhou Mo's words.

Yes.

Before I knew it, five years had passed.

They started out as newcomers and have now reached the top of the industry.

"I remember when Love Is Not Blind was released, we were used as a raft by Ip Man 2. We spent two whole days trying to find out who did it."

Zhou Mo also laughed: "When you found out that it was Ip Man 2, I remember you were a little panicked, thinking that we couldn't win, so we might as well hide away for the time being... Yeah, that should be the word."

Da Tiantian snorted and patted Zhou Mo's arm lightly.

"You just remember my dark history."

Inside the room, the assistant and the manager had left the office in a very unhappy manner a few minutes ago.

Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian were the only ones left, talking to each other, recalling some things that happened in the past few years.

The whole room was filled with a warm atmosphere.

at the same time.

Huayi.

It was July, a hot summer day, but the office was freezing cold, like an ice cellar in the twelfth lunar month.

The Wang brothers looked at the data that had just arrived and their faces turned pale.

Wu Baige, who was lying on the sofa, was shaking all over.

He kept muttering to himself.

"How could this be? How could this be? It shouldn't be this low. How could it be this low?!"

At this moment, 24 hours have passed since the release of "The Crossing".

In the hands of these three people is the freshly released first-day movie box office.

The number 513 million deeply hurt the three people's hearts.
