Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 65 Old Han
Han Sanping didn't say anything specific on the phone.

But Zhou Mo could roughly guess it.

It's nothing more than asking him to support "Great Cause" and do publicity.

As soon as she hung up the phone, Liu Shishi walked to the living room and asked, "Who is it?"

"Mr. Han."

There is only one Mr. Han in the circle, and Liu Shishi naturally knows who he is.

"Is there something important that needs to be done?"

The two of them just made an appointment to go out for a walk together.

"It's not a big deal." Zhou Mo waved his hand.

Liu Shishi: "It's okay. If you have something important to do, just go and do it. We can get together anytime."

Zhou Mo grabbed her hands and said, "Don't worry, it's really not a big deal. Besides, the most important thing now is to accompany you to relax."

In fact, Han Sanping agreed to have an appointment at night.

But that didn't stop Zhou Mo from saying that.

Young ladies are more emotional. Most of the time they don’t care about the real situation as long as they are emotionally satisfied.

As expected, when Liu Shishi heard Zhou Mo's reply, she was instantly moved beyond words.

He hugged Zhou Moxiang and kissed her on the spot.

She also knew that Zhou Mo was coaxing her, but so what?

I am not short of money.

Here was a man who was clearly of a higher status than herself, and who was willing to provide emotional value.

What kind of bike do you want?

On the other side, Zhou Mo touched his lips, feeling a little regretful.

It's too late.

If it had been said earlier, before Liu Shishi had washed up, it probably wouldn't have been a kiss.

It's a lunch break.

……

In the afternoon, China Film Academy.

When I opened the door, Han Sanping was sipping tea again.

Zhou Mo saw a young woman sitting next to Han Sanping.

He looks somewhat similar to Lao Han.

Seeing Zhou Mo enter the room, Han Sanping waved to him with a smile on his face: "The great hero has arrived, come here, let me introduce you, this is Zhou Mo, the youngest commercial film director in China."

Look back.

"This is my daughter. She just started her graduate studies this year. Actually, you two are from the same school."

"Hello, Director Zhou. I'm Han Jianu..."

Zhou Mo: "You're welcome. I'm only one year older than you. Just call me Zhou Mo."

"Then I will call you senior. Please give me your guidance in the future."

Zhou Mo looked at Han Jianu, who was very serious and methodical in her work, and felt a little emotional. Even a person of Old Han's level had to pave the way for his children.

He didn't have any bad feelings towards this kind of human interaction. It's pitiful that all parents in the world don't want their children to live a better life.
Of course, the premise is that the offspring are at least not weird.

As for people like Master Zhang and Prince Long, the fewer the better.

People like Han Jianuo don't usually have big news. Except for highlighting their positions in movie promotions, there's no big problem.

After introducing her identity, Han Jianu sat back in her seat, leaving space for the two to talk.

Han Sanping first poured Zhou Mo a cup of tea
Zhou Mo acted very flattered: "Thank you, Mr. Han, for pouring me some tea. I am very honored."

"Glib."

Han Sanping cursed with a smile, and then said with some emotion: "This time, thanks to you, I didn't have such a hard time in May."

Han Sanping had a difficult first half of the year.

Since "Let the Bullets Fly", mainland TV dramas and movies fell into a brief downturn in the first half of the year.

From January to the end of April, a period of more than three months, there were not only no excellent commercial films in the mainland, but there were not even many excellent films.

It can be said that there is not a single film that can compete. Han Sanping was relatively calm at first, thinking that the commercial film environment in the mainland has just started, so if it doesn't stand out, then it doesn't stand out, at least there are Hong Kong films to back it up.

But when March came, he started to panic.

He had high hopes for the two movies in January, "The Happy Celebration" and "Shaolin Temple", but after they were released, the reviews on the Internet were mixed.

The plot is old-fashioned, disappointing, and pretentious...

As for "How Women Want to Be" let alone, it was originally an adaptation of a foreign film, and it was not very well made, with a box office of less than 100 million.

The imported films of May are about to be released one after another, including "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Kung Fu Panda 2", "Fast and Furious 5", "Thor"...

Han Sanping felt full of crisis.

It can't be that there isn't even one box office success in the country.

He initially placed his hopes on "Guan Yunchang" because Zhou Mo told him at the beginning that "New World" was expected to be released in the summer.

However, before April, news of discord among the leading actors in the crew of "Guan Yunchang" had already spread.

As expected, after the film was released, it was met with a barrage of criticism, and the box office on the first day did not even reach 20 million.

With this level of production, are you going to compete with imported films?
Fortunately, in the end, Zhou Mo's "New World" was scheduled to be released on May 1st, and it won a box office of 600 million yuan in one fell swoop, which saved the face of mainland commercial films.

This time, Han Sanping could finally hold his head high.

"Do you know about New World? I invested in it!"

Zhou Mo also knew that Han Sanping had been using the box office performance of "New World" to flatter himself recently, but he didn't care much.

On the contrary, he also provided a lot of assists.

For example, in public or in interviews, I have thanked Mr. Han for his support many times.

To be honest, Han Sanping did contribute a lot to the release of "New World".

Apart from the rather extreme content of the script, the bloody shots and violent scenes in it were already a sure thing for the film to be released smoothly, given the infant-like movie-watching market in the mainland.

Han Sanping was happy, and then brought up another matter: "By the way, New World will be shown in Sakura?"

"Correct."

“Have you predicted the results?”

"You can definitely make money, but how much you can make depends on the situation, and naturally someone will do the calculations."

Han Sanping smiled and said, "I heard that when you first heard that New World could be shown there, you didn't believe it."

Zhou Mo nodded.

He really never thought that "New World" could become an export film.

All I can say is that Sakura and Tousheng are arch-enemies.

As soon as I heard that there was a foreign movie that very "realistically" portrayed the dark side of Korean people, I immediately shouted that I wanted to see this masterpiece in the cinema.

In addition, part of the reason is that the former Hongcheng Films left a strong mark on Sakura.

Although "New World" is set in Korea, its shooting style clearly bears traces of Hong Kong, and its style does have a certain audience base in Sakura.

"You are quite agile. I have people under my command to help you." Han Sanping smiled and pointed his finger at him twice in the air.

"It's not like the capable get more work."

“This is your movie.”

"You have also invested. The higher the box office, the more you will get." Zhou Mo laughed.

On the side, Han Jianu watched the scene of Han Sanping and Zhou Mo communicating, feeling a little surprised.

Since his father got promoted, few people can chat with him in this way.
Han Sanping: "Also, there is something else I want to tell you."

Zhou Mo immediately raised his hand: "Leader, just give orders and make sure the task is completed."
