Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 60 Resistance to Cold

Chapter 60 Resistance to Cold
"Forty million?"

Zhou Mo regained his spirits: "This is a good result."

The company manager was surprised by Zhou Mo's reaction: "Director Zhou, this is 40 million."

"I know, but it's not even 50 million yet. It hasn't broken the record yet. Stay calm."

principal:……

This guy is so pretentious, it really caught me off guard.

After the person in charge calmed down, Zhou Mo said, "Also, we can start the second phase of publicity now."

The person in charge said he had received it.

The two chatted about some publicity-related matters.

Hang up.

Beside him, Liu Shishi listened to the entire conversation between Zhou Mo and the person in charge and was a little confused: "Zhou Mo, I just heard that you want to promote the movie in the direction of 'reflecting the real situation'?"

Just now, she heard Zhou Mo specifically remind her that the promotion of the film should reflect the actual situation and be closer to the truth.

It must be emphasized that the background of "New World" is set in a certain cold.

The director and crew researched a lot of information and finally established the key points of the film's content.

Zhou Mo didn't intend to hide the promotion from the actors. After all, he would need their cooperation during the roadshow in the future.

In response to Liu Shishi's question, he nodded.

Liu Shishi was a little confused about this answer.

"Won't this cause trouble?"

"What dispute?"

"Some people will say you are smearing that side or something."

"Telling the truth is also considered smearing? And I'm not the only one making this film. I can't believe that everyone is making this kind of film that exposes reality."

Liu Shishi was stunned: "Is there? What's the name?"

“The Crucible.”

Before Liu Shishi started looking, Zhou Mo stopped her and said, "Don't look for it anymore. The movie hasn't been released yet. It will be in September. I'll give you some information briefly.

This play is based on a real case in Tou Province. The main content of the movie tells the story of a teacher who went through many hardships and uncovered the long-term abuse and abuse of deaf-mute students by the principal and others in a school. The content is much more straightforward than our movie. "

Liu Shishi was shocked: "Is it so outrageous?"

Zhou Mo nodded, thinking that this was just one part.

In the future, there will be more and more films secretly filmed to expose chaebols, violence, crime, gangs, and oblique angles.

"Besides, it's not like I haven't made any preparations."

"What."

"Haven't all the place names and stuff been adjusted?"

When Zhou Mo was filming a movie, all the scenes in the camera were specially modulated.

Han Sanping’s important instruction that “there is no that side anywhere, and yet it appears to be that side everywhere” was fully implemented.

Liu Shishi: "Although you made some changes, other people are not fools. They will definitely be able to see what you said."

Zhou Mo waved his hand: "What are you afraid of? I can't expect someone who cheats on me to PK with me offline."

Liu Shishi shook her head: "What I mean is, if you promote it like this, will it cause disgust among some fans of Hanliu? Hanliu has been quite popular in the past two years. I saw on the Internet that this group of people are quite united and have a high fighting power. Moreover, every time they mention that place, they call it a holy land paradise.

If you do this, it will probably lead to smear campaigns or even boycotts from them.”

Zhou Mo smiled: "What if what I want is for them to dislike it?"

"Ok?"

"Shi Shi, don't underestimate these Han fans, they are a small minority after all, and most of them won't buy movie tickets. Most of those who actually buy tickets are silent players, and they generally don't like the former.

And if I want to bring them together, I have to find an opportunity.”

At this stage, the main audience of movies is men.

Men, on the other hand, generally don't like cold waves.

Liu Shishi reacted: "Hanliu fans? Do you want to set yourself up as a target?"

"Yep."

Zhou Mo’s promotion this time was carefully considered.

In 2011, the Internet environment was relatively relaxed, and netizens were not as cautious as in previous lives.

But the trend of "resisting the cold" has already shown signs of breaking out.

The specific manifestation was that after the interview of the heroine of "My Sassy Girl" was exposed after returning to China, she suffered a boycott.

This is a landmark event of "Warming Up Against the Cold". There are also some other messy things that can be understood but not expressed in words, such as the concert incident.

It also set off a storm of resistance to the cold.

Therefore, when Zhou Mo decided to promote in this direction, he did not feel any pressure.

"Shi Shi, believe it or not, if one Hanliu fan boycotts me online, there will be two viewers who don't usually speak out online and go to the cinema to buy tickets for New World."

Although fanatical fans are powerful, there will be more people who dislike them. By then, as long as these audiences see "New World", it will naturally become a moat for the film's reputation.

After all, our main focus is to give the audience an authentic description of the social situation in the province.”

"That's true."

Liu Shishi believed it.

The key is that she couldn't help but believe it.

Because Zhou Mo has already started to make some small moves.

……

at the same time.

The crew of "Guan Yunchang".

Zhuang Wenqiang was also shocked by the box office of 40 million on the first day of "New World".

In addition to being shocked, he also felt relieved.

'Fortunately, I had a keen eye for talent and got on Director Zhou's good side early on, so the controversy surrounding Guan Yunchang has basically no impact on me.'

At noon today, he just got the single-day box office of "Guan Yunchang".

Nine million.

It's ridiculously low.

It's not even a week yet.

Yesterday, Jiang Wen’s remarks at the premiere of “New World” had spread all over the Internet after fermenting overnight.

Netizens all know who Jiang Wen's target is.
While enjoying the show, many people also joined in condemning Zhen Kung Fu.

Bad temper, arrogance, pride...

Many people compare Cheng Long with Zhen Kung Fu, and believe that although he is known as the successor of Kung Fu dramas, he is actually inferior to him in all aspects.

Zhuang Wenqiang also had similar ideas.

During a roadshow just yesterday, when an audience member mentioned Jiang Wen to Zhen Kung Fu, his face turned as black as charcoal.

If you can’t even control your facial expressions, how can you be considered a kung fu superstar?

What if you learn from Huang Xiaoming?

Didn’t you see Director Zhou giving Liu Shishi a lot of advice yesterday, repeatedly telling her to learn more from Huang Xiaoming’s emotional intelligence and speaking skills?

Zhuang Wenqiang had vaguely heard that a boss wanted him to act as a peacemaker to ease the conflict between Jiang Zhen and him.

He chuckled at this.

"There's no point in calling me. If you really have an idea, you might as well ask Director Zhou for help."

He finally understood from yesterday's premiere that Jiang Wen and Zhou Mo have a really good relationship. During the interview, he praised them without reservation and was almost saying "You are better than me".

Then, he felt helpless again.

"If they really come to me, how should I persuade them?"

"How about I go talk to Director Zhou first?"

"But what can I say?"

Zhuang Wenqiang was in trouble.
