Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 552 Shilla Hotel
Tom left, taking Zhou Mo's conditions with him.

However, compared to the embarrassment he felt when he first heard Zhou Mo's conditions, Tom was obviously in a good mood when he left the crew.

The reason is that Zhou Mo said to him:
If Tom can negotiate the deal, he will still give Tom some investment shares according to the old rules when the movie is filmed.

When Tom heard this, he was no longer anxious, nor did he have a toothache, nor was he in any difficulty.

He patted his chest and gave Zhou Mo the assurance.

"If you can't get three movies, you'll be beheaded."

Zhou Mo recalled Tom's reaction at that time, and always felt that his expression was like that of Mr. Chen Peisi in the sketch "The Protagonist and Supporting Actor".

Robbie and the others came over and asked about the situation.

After knowing Zhou Mo's request, they applauded Zhou Mo again and again.

This is the bargaining power of a famous director.

If it was Zhou Mo three years ago, there would be no way he would have been qualified.

Not to mention asking Warner to listen to his request, Warner probably wouldn't even look at him.

But now, he felt like he was being manipulated in the opposite way.

You make people work but don’t pay them?

There is no such bullshit in the world.

Subsequently.

The crew returned to their original routine.

October 2nd.

Wang Jing called again.

"Criminal City" has been released for three days.

The total box office in the first three days exceeded 300 million.

Another hit movie.

The style is quite different from some of the gangster and police films in the past.

There aren't so many messy intrigues, nor are there any neurotic characters like those with hyperthyroidism, who are sometimes excited and sometimes crazy.

The whole article is just one word.

beat!
Anyone who dares to bully orphans and widows will be beaten.

Anyone who dares to harass civilians will be beaten.

Anyone who dares to trouble the widowed, widowed, or lonely will be beaten.

Anyone who dares to act like a demon in front of Brother Jiang will suffer the same fate.

Snapped!
In the movie, Jiang Erge's line:
"Can you defend against my slap that I have gained through ten years of hard training?"

After the movie was released, it immediately became a hot topic and became famous outside the circle.

The reason is simple: Jiang Wu, who is over 1.80 meters tall (he wore height-increasing shoes when filming the movie), weighs over 200 kilograms, and has muscular body, feels so good when he slaps people in the face in the movie.

The arm was swung and the thick palm slapped directly on the villain's face, and the other party immediately fell asleep as if being young, which gave people a strong sense of immersion.

Anyway, judging from the current reviews of the movie, whether it is the audience who put themselves into the story as Jiang Erge or some smaller audiences who put themselves into the villain's role, they are all very satisfied with the plot.

In addition, the plot of "City of Crime", although it gives the audience a sense of satisfaction in a short period of time, is not as exciting as a slap in the face.

But the pleasure of slapping someone only lasts for those few seconds.

In the plot, Brother Jiang and his younger brothers defeated all the local gangs that bullied men and women and committed many evil things in the native land of Kimchi, and made the local residents of Kimchi convinced and relied on them, which brought a deeper sense of satisfaction.

Especially after defeating the Sakura Gang who came to provoke them, this feeling of satisfaction was fully burst out.

Because Wang Jing specially modified some plots here.

At the beginning, when Jiang Erge first arrived in Paocai, he did not get along well with the local residents.

The image of Jiang Erge was already ferocious and evil, and coupled with the language barrier, the two sides had some conflicts due to misunderstandings.

However, after Brother Jiang dealt with the local Korean gang and sheltered the local residents, when he turned around to fight with Sakura's gang, the local residents actually took the initiative to help.

For local residents, their daily lives are not easy anyway.

Gangs bully people all the time. Calling the police is useless. The police are lucky enough not to be in cahoots with them. They won't care about this kind of thing anymore.

In that case, why not join Brother Jiang?

What the hell!

Voted!

That's about how it feels.

This "homecoming" drama, with its arrangement of first suppressing and then praising, has really touched the hearts of many viewers.

As I watched it, I felt so happy that I almost reached the top of my head.

After the movie was released, the 8.7 rating on the first day almost made the entire "Criminal Metropolis" crew drop their jaws.

To be honest, there's nothing particularly profound about this movie.

Moreover, since the setting is in Kimchi, Wang Jing didn’t even arrange a bad ending for the protagonist.

You have to know that in the past, when Hong Kong directors made gangster movies and gambling movies, they would basically arrange some not-so-good outcomes for the protagonists.

And Brother Jiang in "Crime City" just rushed forward seriously.

Although he has always been at the forefront, he has basically never been seriously injured.

But even with such a plot setting, it still got a score of 8.7.

Wang Jing felt as if he had touched upon some opportunity to gain both fame and fortune.

"Brother, I agree with what you said more and more. The audience just wants to watch a movie happily. Why do we need to do so many unnecessary things? Just shoot it and that's it.

Everyone enjoys watching it, we can make a lot of money, and the actors can also increase their value, so why not do it? "

"You're welcome, Brother Jing, but don't relax during the subsequent roadshows. I'm still waiting for your good results in the end."

Wang Jing's tone was firm.

"Don't worry, Director Zhou. I, Lao Wang, plan to reach the billion-dollar threshold with this movie. In the future, I will also be a member of the billion-dollar club in the Chinese film industry."

Zhou Mo nodded. Judging from the current box office of "Crime City", a billion-dollar achievement is basically a foregone conclusion.

"Then I congratulate you in advance, Brother Jing. You must give me a red envelope later."

"Don't worry, I'll prepare a table and we'll celebrate."

Wang Jing was halfway through his words when he suddenly said, "By the way, Director Zhou, I met a guy from Pickles a while ago. He said that his company is interested in cooperating with you. I think someone will call you in the near future."

"Kimchi's company? Who is it?"

Wang Jing slowly uttered four words.

"Shilla Hotel."

Shilla Hotel?

Zhou Mo was stunned.

"Isn't this the property owned by Kimchi?"

"Yes, that's the one."

Wang Jing responded, "According to what that person told me, he probably knew that the InterContinental Hotel you created a few years ago was amazing, had a strong ability to make money, and had a long lifespan. He probably also wanted to cooperate with you in real estate."

Zhou Mo exclaimed.

Wow, even Shilla Hotel came looking for him.

That person who I occasionally saw in Huayu Online articles in my previous life should be appearing soon.

President of Shilla Hotel.

The eldest princess of the Kimchi Samsung Group.

Li Fuzhen.

After ending the call with Wang Jing, Zhou Mo returned to the filming of "Arkham".

Until the end of October.

A call suddenly came to his cell phone.
