Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 58 New World Premiere

4 month 29 day.

The premiere of "New World".

When Zhou Mo and Liu Shishi appeared in front of the reporters, cameras were aimed at the two of them.

Zhou Mo was already used to this kind of situation and greeted the media with a smile.

On the contrary, Liu Shishi felt a little restrained.

I subconsciously adjusted my posture.

"Not really, Shishi, I can sense your nervousness."

"Why not?"

"It's not like you haven't been to a premiere before."

"But there are none as the protagonist of the movie."

Liu Shishi stood in front of the camera for a long time before reluctantly following Zhou Mo away.

On the way, Liu Shishi remembered something.

"By the way, why didn't I see Brother Hua and the others?"

Zhou Mo complained: "Do you think everyone is like you, unwilling to leave in front of the camera? Brother Hua and the others would have gone in a long time ago."

Liu Shishi's face turned red.

“This is my first time.”

Zhou Mo chuckled.

"Well, it's normal to be nervous the first time. You'll get used to it after a few tries."

"Go! You're being naughty again."

After walking for a while, Liu Shishi suddenly thought: "Speaking of which, do you think those reporters will lead us astray?"

Zhou Mo: "I don't plan to promote it in this direction. Why, Tangren wants to buy the press release?"

Liu Shishi shook her head: "Sister Cai would definitely not act on her own without your consent, and she told me that our movie is mainly about feelings, not gossip."

"That's right." Zhou Mo nodded.

So far, the main focus of the promotion of "New World" is still on emotions.

The main theme is a tribute to "Infernal Affairs".

Anyway, sentiment is something that feels good if you hype it up, and it feels good all the time if you keep hyping it up.

Although the same person can generally only be promoted once.

But that's the actor.

As a director, Zhou Mo can use a different topic to promote each film.

He doesn't think it's shameful to hype up sentimentality.

You can't just give up money for a little bit of face.

Including this premiere, Andy Lau was arranged to appear first, in order to make a good first impression.

Halfway through the conversation, Sun Honglei arrived.

After a simple greeting, he said with a hint of envy: "You are worthy of being one of the Four Heavenly Kings. You are so popular."

He just appeared on stage with Andy Lau, but when he appeared, not many people paid attention to him as they all went to interview Andy.

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Brother Honglei, we can't envy this kind of popularity. After all, he has been in the industry for many years. When you were breakdancing, Brother Hua had already started filming God of Gamblers."

Sun Honglei just said this.

The three of them were seated.

Liu Shishi took advantage of the opportunity to whisper in Zhou Mo's ear: "Tell me, what if we really have a scandal?"

"Just fire me, I won't suffer any loss anyway." Zhou Mo seemed very casual, and asked again: "Why, what happened to you?"

Liu Shishi explained: "Some time ago, my agent told me that when "Scarlet Heart" is broadcast in the future, there might be a scandal between the male and female protagonists..."

"Then don't worry. I can assure you that it won't work."

Liu Shishi's eyes lit up.

"How to say?"

"Because Tangren has already decided that the male lead is Luo Jin, and he is now having a hot relationship with Miss Miao." Zhou Mo decisively revealed the news to Liu Shishi.

Liu Shishi felt relieved when she heard this.

After realizing it, he asked again, "How do you know so much? Even I don't know who the male lead of "Bu Bu" is."

"Of course I know, because I was the one who recommended Luo Jin." Zhou Mo explained: "Mr. Cai discussed some publicity and promotion business with me some time ago. When he talked about the male lead of "Startling by Each Step", I recommended Luo Jin to him."

"Why would you recommend Luo Jin? I thought you would recommend someone from your previous crew."

Zhou Mo coughed lightly and said, "Brother, it doesn't matter who you help."

"Oh"

Liu Shishi patted the non-existent red panda and said with lingering fear: "You don't know, last month when the company told me that Long Liqi might be the male lead, I was almost scared to death. I don't want to work with him."

Zhou Mo:?
He glanced at Liu Shishi quietly and found that the girl was not joking.

"You said you don't want to cooperate with him?"

"Well, he's already over 40, and the age gap between him and me is too big. I don't want to play a love scene with an older man."

Zhou Mo thought, "How can you, Liu Shishi, say such a thing?" This is not the time when you insisted on marrying someone in your previous life, no matter how Cai Yinong persuaded you.

Not only does he want to get married, but he even wants to retaliate against his own fans.

It's so outrageous that it's like someone has been cursed.

But that’s fine too.

Xiaohua should just focus on her career and not have to talk about love.

He, Zhou Mo, has no habit of being a thief.

The fixed parts of the premiere were completed.

The guests have basically arrived.

Han Sanping himself was busy with something at "Daye" and couldn't come, but he sent his deputy.

It can be considered as supporting Zhou Mo.

Jiang Wen is here too.

He said he wanted to cheer for his younger brother.

However, more people also took the opportunity of the interview to vent to the media about their dissatisfaction during the filming of "Guan Yunchang".

Who is Jiang Wen?

How could he just sit there and watch a group of Hong Kong media outlets blame the problems on him?

"What's the difference between a drama tyrant and a drama tyrant? If an actor's acting skills are not good and he is overshadowed by others, then you call him a drama tyrant. Isn't that a bit too unfair?

Instead of throwing dirty water on others, you might as well improve your acting skills..."

He spoke so freely and vividly.

He was just short of scolding someone by name.

After the interview, "New World" officially begins.

The dragon symbol appears.

The movie begins with Wu Bai receiving a phone call ordering him to kill the leader of the Kinmen organization.

Two minutes later.

Dr. Chen, the driver who was chatting with Shi Dongchu, proudly received the lunch box.

With Shi Dongchu's death, the Kinmen organization began to fall into a power struggle.

At the same time, Tou Shengjing formally proposed the "New World" plan, aiming to completely control this super-large gang organization by supporting undercover agents.

Section Chief Ding shows up and starts to sow discord, paving the way for Li Zicheng's rise to power.

In the original version of "New World", the role of Section Chief Kang was played by the film emperor Choi Min-sik.

To be honest, this guy's acting skills are actually better than Andy's.

With just a few words and a few looks, a ruthless and black-hearted boss can be fully exposed.

Zhou Mo never thought that Andy Lau would be able to perform at Choi Min-sik's level in just over a month.

He chose to start with clothing.

The original script changed the image of Section Chief Jiang, who was often dressed casually, into one that always wears a suit and tie.

This image of Andy Lau is actually very classic.

In "Inspector Five Hundred Million", he was dressed similarly.

Therefore, when the audience saw Andy Lau dressed like this, they naturally thought that Section Chief Jiang was probably not clean.

As the movie plays.

The plot soon came to the elevator battle, Ding Qing died, and Li Zicheng turned evil.

Without saying a word, Li Zicheng eliminated four obstacles one after another.

In the end, on the day when Kinmen organized the election for the president, no other candidate appeared on the scene except Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng took office smoothly.

The end of the movie.

Li Zicheng sat in the president's office, looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic downstairs.

Next to him was the watch that Ding Qing left for him.

The moment the movie ends.

The cinema fell into silence.

Liu Shishi subconsciously held Zhou Mo's hand tightly: "Zhou Mo, why is no one reacting?"

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Why rush? Let the bullets fly for a while."

Sure enough, as his voice fell.

Thunderous applause broke out instantly.

　Thank you all for your recommendations, thank you everyone.

　　Starting today, the update schedule should be restored.

　　In addition, the background of the new world is set in Han Province, I hope everyone will not misunderstand.

　　I am still asking for recommendations, collections, monthly tickets, follow-up reading, and comments every day. Thank you all.
