Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 634 Breaking the record
These words are basically straightforward.

There's no point in queuing up for seats; what matters most is having a good movie.

Da Tiantian described the content edited by Zhou Mo to Lin Yoona, and Lin Yoona was a little surprised.

"Director Zhou actually handled it this way?"

"Why, is it different from your past experience?"

Lin Yuner nodded.

"Yes, in this situation, shouldn't we compare the status of both parties and choose to be indifferent or pretend to take a photo together to make it seem like they have a good relationship?"

Da Tiantian's eyes lit up: "Hey, Yoona, you are very good at pretending."

Lin Yuna stuck out her tongue, her eyes full of curiosity.

Seeing that Zhou Mo didn't say anything, Da Tiantian simply took over the explanation herself.

"His style is just like that. He tells his fans directly if there is anything wrong. His fans like this. In his own words, his fans are his business partners, partners, and shareholders. If he wants the company to run well, he must make things clear to the shareholders if there is anything wrong."

After Zhou Mo finished speaking, he reminded Lin Yuna again.

"But Zhou Mo's situation is rare. Just listen to him and that's it. Don't follow his example."

Lin Yuner said "hmm" and then asked: "Then how should I treat my fans?"

Da Tiantian thought about it.

Give Lin Yuna a suggestion.

"Throw money."

Yoona:?

……

Da Tiantian took Lin Yoona away, saying that she wanted to teach her the "Sanhe Company special version" of experience in treating fans.

Zhou Mo felt that this iron-headed kid was really carefree.

In terms of the time spent in the entertainment industry, Yoona debuted in 07. Not only was her debut not much later than that of Sweetie, but she also debuted in a high-intensity girl group like Girls' Generation.

Later, as Girls' Generation continued to develop, the situations they encountered were probably much more complicated than those encountered by Da Tiantian.

Da Tiantian imparts experience to Lin Yuner, which is indeed a bit

But on second thought, what Da Tiantian said about "throwing money" should be the first time that Lin Yuna has seen it.

This thing is not only not available in Korea, but also not available in China.

It is a special skill that belongs only to Da Tiantian.

It would be interesting for the two of them to exchange their experiences.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

It was Zhou Xingxing calling.

connected.

As expected, it was to talk about that dynamic thing.

"Master Xing, there's no need to worry about these things. It's normal for netizens to have arguments. When we go on the roadshow tomorrow, we can just take a photo together and that will be it. The rumors will be broken on their own..."

Communicate with Zhou Xingxing quickly.

Going back to the account, as expected, there were already a lot more comments under the post.

A large part of the reason is that fans understood Zhou Mo’s meaning and stopped discussing the matter.

Some people are also concerned about the topic of "whether we can see Stephen Chow on the screen again in the future".

"Director Zhou, from what you said, it's possible that Stephen Chow will only shoot this one movie?"

"Don't worry, this movie made by Stephen Chow is not good enough."

"It seems like I have to watch "The Mermaid"."

Zhou Mo roughly scanned the contents of these comments, which were basically all expressing regret for the possibility that Stephen Chow might not make any more movies, and his plans to watch "The Mermaid".

It's this taste.

How can we reflect the importance of this movie at this moment if we don’t promote “rest, retirement, withdrawal”, “last stage, last screen, last movie”?
This kind of operation is not uncommon in the entertainment industry.

Of course Zhou Mo would not come out and respond at this time. Even he himself could not guess whether Zhou Xingxing would continue to act after "The Mermaid".

Time came to the second day, the roadshow site.

The first time Zhou Xingxing saw Zhou Mo, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Director Zhou, you've really given me a difficult problem. Since yesterday, many people have contacted my company and team, asking about my subsequent plans."

Zhou Mo laughed: "Isn't this exactly why the audience likes you? I think Director Zhou, you can continue to act and provide more excellent works to the market. Apart from you, Director Zhou, no one else can act in nonsensical comedy well."

He had previously planned to only collaborate with Stephen Chow on "The Mermaid" and not to collaborate again afterwards.

But that is based on the assumption that Stephen Chow only appears in this movie.

If Stephen Chow finishes filming this movie and wants to return to the film industry, it may not be impossible to continue working with him.

Of course, the premise is that Shanhe Company is still in control of the overall situation.

Zhou Xingxing was praised and felt happy, but he didn't say anything else.

He was also hesitant.

A martial arts celebrity must have experience and reputation, and he will not fail unless he fights.

This was the fundamental reason why he retired from the screen after "CJ08" in 7.

But let’s be honest, sentiment is what really sells tickets.

Plus his current state.

It would be a lie to say that I am not moved.

"Director Zhou, let me think about it again." Zhou Xingxing still hadn't made up his mind.

"It's okay, don't worry." Zhou Mo didn't rush him, and kindly reminded him, "However, although I'm not in a hurry, your fans may not be. I guess they will ask you this question soon. Director Zhou, you have to be prepared in advance."

Zhou Xingxing felt a little distressed when he heard this.

The two walked towards the cinema together and began to prepare for the roadshow.

Three hours later, the question and answer session began.

A fan of Zhou Xingxing took the lead and grabbed the opportunity to ask questions. He first recalled Zhou Xingxing's glorious achievements in the past, then expressed his regret that Zhou Xingxing himself had not appeared on the screen for a long time, and finally asked him whether he would continue to appear on the screen in the future. After that, he also specifically mentioned it.

"As long as it's your movie, Master Xing, I'm willing to watch it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the entire theater seemed to be focused on Zhou Xingxing.

Zhou Xingxing picked up the microphone and gave the answer after a pause of a few seconds.

“Actually, I still want to act.”

Before the crowd started cheering, he continued, "But it still depends on my physical condition."

He pointed at himself and said, "I am already 55 this year. As you all know, I am slow in making movies. It may take three or four years for me to make one. If I really want to make the next movie, I may be by then and may not be able to make it."

When the fans heard this, they expressed their understanding.

Due to physical reasons, this is indeed unavoidable.

But there was also a smart one who said after listening to Stephen Chow's words: "Master Xing, you can shoot more movies with Director Zhou. Director Zhou shoots movies really fast and is very productive."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Zhou Mo laughed and complained: "Good fellow, are you really worried that Master Xing is not tired enough? If he makes one movie a year, wouldn't that be even more unbearable?"

Everyone nodded and laughed.

Zhou Xingxing also waved his hand and held Zhou Mo's hand.

"I don't have the talent like Director Zhou to produce high-quality works quickly. Being able to produce one work in a period of time is already my limit. If I go any faster, the quality will decline. In order to provide the audience with better quality works, I'd better go slower."

The audience began to cheer.

Zhou Mo was calculating in his mind.

According to the current atmosphere, it will take about a few days to start the marketing of "the last movie ticket".

Stephen Chow returned to the screen after nine years, and the effect was even better than he had imagined.

That evening, the ratings for "The Mermaid" were also released.

9.1 points.

Another outrageous score.

You have to know that the previous version of "The Mermaid" was only at the level of 7 points.

In this life, even though Stephen Chow himself appeared, Yoona replaced Lin Yun, Zhou Mo and others made guest appearances, etc., the score would not exceed 8 points.

The current rating of 9.1 is purely a sentimental filter and it will probably drop in a few days.

However, this does not affect the company's current promotion of this data.

As for the follow-up, it will be dropped.

Let it fall.

That's a matter of looking back.

In the next few days, Zhou Mo and others kept on running roadshows.

After finishing each day’s run, I return to the hotel and receive the box office data from the previous day.

The next day, 3.8 million.

On the third day, 4.0 million.

On the fourth day, 3.6 million.

In four days, it directly broke through the 15 billion mark.

This time, even the comments about being a “flash in the pan” disappeared.

Who can make 15 billion from a short-lived success?

Don't let others live.

Fortunately, on the fifth day, perhaps because Stephen Chow's emotional potential had been consumed, the single-day box office of "The Mermaid" finally saw a sharp decline.

The single-day box office dropped to more than 200 million.

Zhou Xingxing is recruiting investors on weekends to discuss promotional matters.

"Director Zhou, the situation is almost ready now, we can start now."

"Well, let's start tonight." Zhou Mo made the decision.

That night, the hot search "I owe Zhou Xingxing a movie ticket" landed on the hot search lists of multiple platforms including Lizhan Entertainment, Duoyin, and Xiaolanshu.

As soon as the entry came out, it immediately received a large number of reposts and comments.

A day later, the box office of "The Mermaid" took off again, even breaking the single-day box office record of 4 million on the third day.

A large group of people in the Spring Festival movie crew were dumbfounded.

It's not over, right?

Are you, the crew of "The Mermaid", going to let other people live?

I thought your box office had finally gone down, and it’s almost the end of the Spring Festival period, so you should leave some room for others.

I didn't expect it to get up again.

It's really just one movie that has eaten up all the box office revenue of others, right?

There are also some thoughtful crews and companies that have discussed internally whether there is an opportunity to do so.

Since "The Mermaid" can make money in this way, others can naturally give it a try.

It’s just publicity anyway, there is no patent.

Do it when you think of it.

A day later, several other film crews during the Spring Festival also began to promote the "owed movie tickets" campaign.

Even though there is no one like Stephen Chow who can bring out the full sentiment, but if the protagonist is not good, then he can play the supporting role, and if the supporting role is not good, then he can go behind the scenes.

If you pick and choose, you can always find some experienced actors.

It’s a pity that these films cannot compare with "The Mermaid" in terms of publicity freshness, publicity resources and channels.

Therefore, the final result will not have much impact, it is nothing more than giving the media more publicity fees.

And there is no doubt that a large part of this money fell into Zhou Mo's hands.
