Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 613 Business Tycoon, ready for release

Zhou Mo did not directly answer Huang Xiaoming's question, but asked: "By the way, Brother Xiaoming, you should go to the Golden Horse Awards in November, how are your preparations going?"

Huang Xiaoming said truthfully.

"The preparations are okay. The crew has contacted some people and basically everything has been communicated."

Zhou Mo nodded: "Then can I assume that the Best Picture award is a foregone conclusion?"

Huang Xiaoming was about to be polite, but then he thought that there was actually nothing to hide in front of Zhou Mo.

"It's not that high, but there's still a 60 to 70 percent chance."

"Very good. Next question, have you decided who will go on stage? You or Brother Kun?"

When talking about going on stage to receive the award, Huang Xiaoming straightened his chest slightly.

“If there is an award, it should be me.”

"Is that so? That's good." Zhou Mo smiled again.

Huang Xiaoming's heart started beating again.

Zhou Mo said slowly:
"Don't be nervous. It's nothing. It's just that if you go up on stage to receive the award, I need you to say something in your acceptance speech."

Huang Xiaoming felt more and more uneasy.

Because of his understanding of Zhou Mo's past, he already had some vague guesses.

"What?"

"When the time comes to present the award, I'll need you..."

Hey!
Huang Xiaoming understood Zhou Mo's meaning instantly, and was immediately filled with shock.

Huang Xiaoming smiled bitterly.

"Director Zhou, you really gave me a difficult problem."

"What's so difficult about this? If that group of people can do it, then we can do it too."

On the one hand, they attract people to join the market, while on the other hand, they do things secretly.

How could such a good thing exist in the world?
Zhou Mo continued, "Of course, I know this is indeed difficult for you, so in addition to the male lead of "Wushuang", I can give you another contract."

"Oh?"

"You know the movie 'I Want to Be the Emperor', right?"

Huang Xiaoming's eyes lit up.

"I want to be the emperor".

Of course he knew.

When the news of this drama came out a few days ago, a lot of people in the circle immediately thought it was fake news.

How could a script like this possibly get passed?
Chase south and north.

It's exciting just thinking about it.

It was not until the exact news was released that everyone was left with shock.

Director Zhou is indeed worthy of his name.

This kind of script can pass smoothly.

So cool.

"Director Zhou, you are talking about the TV series that changed history, right? Director Zhou, you are absolutely my idol." Huang Xiaoming really suffered a lot when he played "The Legend of Yue Fei" that year, so he admired Zhou Mo's operation the most.

"Exaggerated."

"Director Zhou, are you asking me to play the emperor in this play?"

"Oh, that's not the case." Zhou Mo shook his head.

Huang Xiaoming: ...

Why did you mention him?

Make me happy in vain.

"I know you're anxious, but don't worry. I can tell you in advance that the project I'm talking about is in the same vein as I Want to Be the Emperor. It's a political drama that follows the timeline of I Want to Be the Emperor."

Huang Xiaoming was still a little hesitant.

Although this sounded very exciting, he also knew that Zhou Mo never made empty promises and would never make them happen if he said so.

But it’s hard to say when this drama can be launched.

However, Zhou Mo's next words instantly changed Huang Xiaoming's mind. "Oh, by the way, I should be in charge of that drama myself."

Huang Xiaoming: Shocked!
Do it yourself.

"Director Zhou, you are personally directing this, so it shouldn't be as simple as just writing the script."

"Literally, I'll take the photo. Are you relieved now?"

When Huang Xiaoming heard this, even his breathing stopped at that moment.

This is a TV series directed by Zhou Mo himself.

God knows how awesome this show is going to be.

You know, the last time Zhou Mo directed a TV series himself was the new version of "The Myth" six years ago.

Then, one of the largest film and television IPs in the country was created.

So far, this IP has created a total value of tens of billions.

Even if this time the film is not as popular as the new version of "The Myth", its subsequent influence is difficult to estimate.

Huang Xiaoming knew very well that once this news got out, the entire entertainment industry would explode.

Of course, he also knew that this news must not be leaked now.

Zhou Mo also reminded.

"Brother Xiaoming, you are the only one who knows this news. I haven't even told Tiantian yet, so if the news gets out, you know what will happen."

"Don't worry, Director Zhou, this news won't get out to anyone other than the two of us today.

Director Zhou, just wait and see. I will definitely make you look beautiful at the Golden Horse Awards this November!" Huang Xiaoming made a prompt promise, his voice even trembling at the end.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."

Zhou Mo nodded and was about to go back when he remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, there's also the heroine in 'Wushuang', Li Wen's goddess Ruan Wen. I plan to let Yuan Quan go, so please help me notify her when you get back."

In the original novel of "Wushuang", the heroine is Zhang Jingchu.

Good acting, nothing wrong with it.

This girl had some resources in the Hong Kong circle a few years ago, and Zhuang Wenqiang even called her to ask if she wanted to use them.

Zhou Mo originally wanted to just let Zhang Jingchu go, but Jiang Wenli called him two days ago and said that as long as it wasn't Zhang Jingchu, anyone else would do, and she owed Zhou Mo a big favor.

Zhou Mo has no objection.

When it comes to his relationship with Zhang Jingchu, he is closer to Jiang Wenli. During the development process in recent years, Jiang Wenli has helped him a lot with some public opinion issues.

Therefore, Ruan Wen was replaced by Yuan Quan.

And the storyline of Ruan Wen was slightly modified.

The identity of the painter, which was hidden in the original script, was completely attributed to Ruan Wen this time.

Li Wen's identity as a painter was actually cultivated by Ruan Wen.

And Ruan Wen’s final work in the film will also show different colors in the sun——

Color-changing ink.

……

Five days later.

end of September.

Premiere of "Business Tycoon".
