Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 614 is officially released
"Brother Jing, Brother Long, and Director Zhang, please help me make arrangements." Da Tiantian was not worried at all.

When Zhou Mo heard this, he was surprised. These were all people who had helped on the crew during the filming of "Business Tycoon".

He looked at Da Tiantian and suddenly felt that the scene before him was quite similar to the scene when the second son of Kaizi's family was filming "Ever Night" in his previous life.

A large group of veteran actors and big names rushed to the crew, hoping to contribute to the crew.

If for no other reason, I just hope that more excellent works can appear in the domestic film and television circles.

This spirit of selfless dedication.

It really is,
I cried to death.

Seeing that Zhou Mo didn't say anything, Da Tiantian squeezed his hand a little harder.

"Why don't you speak? Have you found any problem?"

"Oh, that's not the case. I just remembered the public opinion about our movie on the Internet these days."

"Which one?"

Zhou Mo looked into Da Tiantian's eyes and paused for a few seconds.

“Even though you are the director of this film on paper, many people think that you are just a figurehead and the real work is done by others.

It doesn’t matter if our show performs poorly in the future. But if it performs very well, this kind of comments will definitely arise. How are you going to deal with it then?”

Da Tiantian reacted, glanced at Zhou Mo and smiled.

"So you are considering this matter. My opinion is that you don't need to deal with it."

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows.

"Oh? What do you say?"

Da Tiantian looked calm.

"Because there is nothing wrong with what the netizens said. This movie was made by the concerted efforts of many people. My contribution is not even among the top three. Let everyone say what they want."

After hearing this, Zhou Mo was completely relieved.

Ever since the day when "Business Tycoon" was prepared for release and began to be promoted, the discussion about "who is the real hero of "Business Tycoon"" has never stopped.

Although the entertainment industry has a lot of bad problems, it generally follows the basic rule of "deserving the reputation".

Although this basic rule has become increasingly obsolete in some people's operations.

But the audience has their own yardstick.

If an actor or director doesn't have the ability or the achievements, but still insists on getting some random status and fame, then don't blame the audience.

Zhou Mo naturally agreed with this idea.

Ultimately, all output in the entertainment industry ultimately depends on consumption by the audience.

The behavior of forcing the audience to buy certainly exists, but it will never last forever.

Once you lose the audience's approval, you will be doomed no matter how much you cover your mouth.

Battle reports can be deceiving, but battle lines cannot.

Da Tiantian is indeed not the one who has made the greatest contribution to the release of "Business Tycoon". Filming is open to the public, so it is natural for the audience to make fun of it.

If you react well to the ridicule, it will become positive publicity material.

If the response is not good, you will immediately lose a lot of audience favor.

Zhou Mo has also been thinking about how to tell Da Tiantian about this matter recently.

Fortunately, Da Tiantian's reaction was able to easily resolve the matter.

"In that case, I suggest that you ask Sister Nan to directly raise this issue in the interview later. This can also be regarded as a positive response from you."

Da Tiantian thought about it and nodded.

"can."

Zhou Mo immediately took Da Tiantian to the backstage to find Shanhe Company's exclusive host, Xie Nan, and explained the situation.

After listening to this, Xie Nan looked at Da Tiantian with some surprise.

"Tiantian, you are really going to answer like this."

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

Xie Nan spread his hands.

"No problem. I just want to remind you that even if you respond to these trends, some people will think that you are taking up a lot of resources. If the same resources were given to others, they would probably be able to make such a good movie..."

With just one sentence, Xie Nan clearly stated the direction of public opinion.

Da Tiantian waved her little hand, looking very relaxed.

"It's okay. Netizens can say whatever they want. One thing can never satisfy everyone. I just need to be worthy of the audience."

After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Mo.

Come and praise me.

Zhou Mo immediately applauded.

"Tiantian's words were so good, I was completely impressed!"

Da Tiantian also cooperated by putting her hands on her hips and slightly lifting her chin.

Xie Nan looked at the two funny guys and smiled like an auntie.

"It's good to be young in mind. You can have fun with just a glance. I really envy you two."

Da Tiantian hugged her and said, "Sister Nan, you are still very young. If you walk on the street like this, people will think you are a college student."

Xie Nan touched his cheek.

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Da Tiantian gently touched Xie Nan's cheek with her fingertips and praised: "Look at your smooth skin and plump collagen, Sister Nan, I envy you so much."

Xie Nan also pinched Da Tiantian's face gently a few times.

"That's because your medical beauty company has high technology. Every time I finish my treatment, I feel really good. The only drawback is that it's a little expensive. We're a small family, so we can only go once in a while. Your brother Jing doesn't even want to go."

Zhou Mo said on the side: "It doesn't matter, Brother Jing doesn't care. He is an old man, and he is very happy to be able to look at Sister Nan."

Wu Jing, who was chewing a hamburger, stopped chewing when he heard this.

Looking at the three people in front of him who were all full of youthfulness, he turned his head and looked at himself in the mirror, who looked so haggard.

The burger in my mouth suddenly didn't taste good anymore.

"At least I started out as a pretty boy, okay?"

Zhou Mo joked: "So you are an old bacon now. If you were someone else, they wouldn't be able to become an old bacon."

"Then I'm going to do maintenance too!" Wu Jing said loudly.

"No problem, but what about your movie?" Zhou Mo asked back.

Wu Jing was speechless.

He actually wanted to go for maintenance.

But with his current acting career, all the roles he takes are military, gunfights, action, and tough guy. It is impossible for him to recover to the state of his youth. "Alas, time is unforgiving." Wu Jing took another big bite of the hamburger in his mouth.

Da Tiantian took out a card directly from her bag and put it in Xie Nan's hand.

"Sister Nan, this is a VIP card specially set up by the company. Cardholders can enjoy half-price purchases when entering the venue. Let's go for maintenance together later."

Xie Nan is holding Da Tiantian.

"Tiantian, you are so nice. I love you so much."

While the two women were talking, Zhou Mo walked over to Wu Jing, took out a hamburger from his food bag, and asked while eating.

"Any plans lately?"

Wu Jing shook his head, and then his eyes lit up.

"Not yet, do you have a new movie?"

"Yeah, science fiction, big scenes, and the war of resistance."

Zhou Mo slowly said a few qualifiers, and with each one he said, Wu Jing's eyes became brighter.

Before Zhou Mo finished speaking, he spoke loudly.

"Director Zhou, I'm going to shoot this movie."

"Don't ask about the content?"

"There's no need for that. Director Zhou, you never fight a battle without confidence. I have to get the role as soon as possible. I will be upset if someone else snatches it away." Wu Jing said bluntly.

In fact, he has been thinking about his next work recently.

But after thinking about it, I haven't made up my mind yet.

Now that he had heard Zhou Mo's invitation, he immediately threw aside the half-thought-out script and threw himself into Zhou Mo's arms.

It’s still too tiring to think about the script myself.

It felt good to let Director Zhou take the lead while he could focus on filming in the back.

Zhou Mo nodded.

He finished the burger in his hand in two or three bites, and left calling Da Tiantian.

In fact, he came to see Xie Nan with the intention of discussing cooperation with Wu Jing.

Now that the goal has been achieved, we have to get back to work.

Backstage.

Zhou Mo greeted everyone and thanked them for their help.

Da Tiantian also followed Zhou Mo's words. Every time Zhou Mo said something, she would thank him.

The others also expressed their politeness and left after saying a few words.

Lao Mouzi and Cheng Long were the last to leave.

These two have something else to do.

"Director Zhou, 'Even Far Away Must Be Punished' will be released at the end of this year, and we'll try to get good results on New Year's Day. Will you be available by then?"

Zhou Mo thought for a moment.

"Don't worry, you two, I will definitely come when the time comes."

Only then did Lao Mouzi nod with relief.

"That's fine. It all depends on your and Tiantian's performance."

Cheng Long also cheered for Da Tiantian.

"Tiantian, don't be nervous. The final result of the movie will definitely satisfy everyone."

"Thank you Director Zhang, thank you Brother Long."

……

After a while.

The premiere officially begins.

After completing the process, Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian came to their seats.

Looking at the screen that was gradually turning black, Da Tiantian once again placed her little hand in Zhou Mo's warm palm.

"Zhou Mo..."

"Ok?"

"How much do you think our play will earn at the box office in the end?"

Zhou Mo thought about it.

"Hmm... 1.5 billion?"

Da Tiantian gently pinched his fingers.

"The number you mentioned is too high. You must be joking with me. I'm asking you seriously."

“I was answering seriously.”

"…Forget it. It's pointless to ask you, you bad guy."

Zhou Mo turned around and looked at her.

"Instead of asking me, you should ask yourself, how much box office revenue do you want?"

"Hmm... one billion?" Da Tiantian whispered a number.

Zhou Mo smacked his lips.

"The number you mentioned is actually quite a lot."

Da Tiantian rolled up the corner of her clothes with one finger.

"I just thought that this movie brought together so many of your best talents. Wouldn't it be a shame if it didn't make over 1 billion?"

Zhou Mo glanced at her and said with a smile.

"I feel like you want a billion box office just to surpass the performance of my first movie, to surpass me once."

The moment Da Tiantian's body stiffened, her eyes began to dart around.

"How could that be? You're overthinking it."

"Really?" Zhou Mo leaned his head close to Da Tiantian.

Da Tiantian became more and more nervous, and sweat even appeared on her palms.

"of course not."

at the same time.

In the movie, the character played by Da Tiantian also said the same thing.

"of course not!"
