Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 641: Mermaid

After Lin Yoona came back, Zhou Mo gave her a good lecture.

"The Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty was not a good thing. Don't use those things to refer to me. Besides, I don't have the ability to do anything remotely controlled."

Lin Yuna nodded obediently, but she had a different opinion about the second half of Zhou Mo's words.

How can someone talk about Lee Boo-jin and Moon Jae-yeon's collaboration and chat while saying that he or she has no ability?

Director Zhou is still too modest.

Lin Yoona's family is well-off and is considered a wealthy family in Korea, but it is far from the level of a chaebol.

In the past, for her, people of Lee Boo-jin's level were like this: one performing on the stage while the other watched from the audience.

The gap is too big.

Zhou Mo is able to cooperate with Lee Boo-jin, and is in a superior position among the partners, so his status will only be higher.

“Yoona, Yoona?!”

"Ah? Ah! Director Zhou."

"I heard that you are quite interested in stories about the Ming Dynasty?" Zhou Mo asked.

"It's okay. Mainly because when I was learning Chinese in the first two years, my teacher used some historical materials to cultivate my interest, so I read some of it," Lin Yuna explained.

"how do you feel?"

"It's quite interesting."

"If you have nothing to do recently, I'll arrange for you to join the crew of 'I Want to Be the Emperor'. You can play a supporting role, just for fun." Zhou Mo arranged.

"Ah, is it okay?" Lin Yuna was pleasantly surprised.

She knew that "I Want to Be the Emperor" was a historical TV series promoted by Shanhe Company after "In the Name of People", and it was also aimed at becoming a big hit.

There are a lot of resources, the treatment is very good, and the compensation is very generous.

"It depends on your thoughts. If you're not far away, you can just take a rest at home. You've been helping Tiantian run around for a lot of people recently. Thank you for your hard work." Zhou Mo said.

Da Tiantian on the side rolled her eyes at Zhou Mo.

It's obvious that he just wants to order people to do work to increase popularity, so why drag her out?
"I am willing!"

Lin Yuna agreed without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Mo immediately called the company to give instructions.

"Just wait a couple of days for you to go over there. I'll send you the script in the next couple of days and you can take a look at it first."

"Thank you, Director Zhou."

After arranging "I Want to Be the Emperor", Yoona Lin suddenly mentioned "The Mermaid" again.

"By the way, Director Zhou, the director asked me to tell you that the movie will be out soon, and we'll need you to make an appearance then."

"Well, Director Zhou has already called me. I will go over when the time comes."

When Da Tiantian heard this, a smile appeared on her face.

"Speaking of The Mermaid, Zhou Mo, I don't think I've ever heard you comment on the fact that The Mermaid's box office has exceeded 41!"

She picked up the dough on the table, stuck a large piece of dough on the end, and handed it to Zhou Mo's mouth.

"Mr. Zhou Mo, the famous domestic film box office record creator, holder, and refresher, the world-class director, and the owner of the Palme d'Or, dear Vina, how do you see the Chinese film box office record that you have held for five years being taken by another Director Zhou?"

Lin Yoona watched the two people's actions and secretly covered her mouth and laughed.

"I don't have any opinion. It's normal to be surpassed by others. I'm not a god, so of course I can't hold the title of box office champion forever." Zhou Mo is very open-minded.

"Oh? Don't you feel lost or have any negative emotions about this?" Da Tiantian asked.

Zhou Mo took away the rolling pin that had poked his face and wiped the corner of his mouth. "Indeed, no. Although my record was broken, it is good for the domestic market. It proves that the upper limit of the domestic box office market is not 3 billion, but 4 billion. From now on, more people will invest in this market, and more good works will be released."

"Ouch!"

Da Tiantian said loudly: "What an open-minded attitude this is! It's really amazing and far-sighted. Let's applaud Director Zhou."

Lin Yoona clapped her hands on the side, her little hands making crisp sounds.

Seeing this, Zhou Mo also cooperated by stretching out his hands and pressing down in the air.

"Keep a low profile. In my heart, my own achievements are not important. What is important is that our domestic film market can develop healthily and vigorously."

Now, it’s Da Tiantian’s turn to be unable to continue acting.

What a shame.

She was still some distance away from this guy, and could not be like him, who could say such lofty words so easily in any occasion.

clap clap.

Da Tiantian turned her head and found that Yoona was still clapping.

"Yoon-ah, don't you find this guy really weird?"

"I think what Director Zhou said is quite right, Sister Tiantian. The market potential in China is really huge. In just a few years, the box office record has increased from a few hundred million to several billion. Every time the box office record is broken, it means that part of the market potential has been realized, which is of course a good thing." Lin Yoona blinked.

Zhou Mo laughed strangely at the side.

"Did you hear that, Tiantian? Your reaction this time wasn't as quick as Yoona's."

Da Tiantian: ...

Oh no, she is the one who can't keep up with the pace.

……

Two days later.

"The Mermaid" has officially been removed from theaters.

The final box office was 41.6 million.

Countless people inside and outside the circle cheered for this data.

As Zhou Mo said, the continuous breakthroughs in box office revenue are a happy thing for relevant practitioners, ordinary netizens and audiences.

For practitioners, this means that the industry is still developing and has not reached its limit.

For the audience, market development means that there will be more consumer goods of sufficient quality in the future.

As expected, Zhou Mo was asked about Da Tiantian during the interview.

However, compared to Da Tiantian, the reporters' questions were undoubtedly more direct and more rhythmic.

"Director Zhou, are you really not dissatisfied with this? Many netizens on the Internet think that the quality of The Mermaid is far inferior to that of many of your works."

Zhou Mo smiled slightly.

“One thing that netizens overlooked is that I am actually one of the creators of this movie. It is unrealistic to separate me from The Mermaid.

As an investor and producer of "The Mermaid", actually, the higher the box office of "The Mermaid", the happier I am.

This is the market’s recognition of the quality of the film itself.”

The reporter then asked, "What do you think of what netizens say, that the 41 billion box office is purely based on sentimentality, and the quality itself is actually average."

"Is that so?" Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows, and then he said without hesitation: "If it's about feelings, then I hope I can have this level of appeal in the future."

"Will you work with Director Zhou Xingxing next time?"
