Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 651 Life has dreams, each is wonderful

Zhou Mo stayed in the crew of "I Want to Be the Emperor" for three days.

In early June, I returned to Yanjing.

First was the banquet for "Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment".

Lao Jiang got drunk again.

He is happy.

He was excited.

He is happy.

The total box office of "Surprise Attack on White Tigers" exceeded 2 billion, breaking the previous box office record of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

The audiences gave unanimous praise to the quality of "Surprise Attack".

Many people praised Director Jiang for his continued strength and hope that he could work for another 20 years.

Jiang Wen can make both critically acclaimed and commercially successful films.

No one doesn't like to be praised.

Although some viewers' analysis of the film does not match what Lao Jiang wants to express.

But as the saying goes, there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people.

If the audience is willing to analyze the movie, it means they have watched it carefully.

If someone can analyze something new, it means that they have probably read it more than once.

This is a good thing.

"Thank you all for coming here today..."

Zhou Mo glanced at Jiang Wen who was drinking with others, then turned around and asked Marco quietly.

"How is it? Did Lao Jiang agree?"

Mako pursed his lips and shook his head.

"No, he said he wanted to finish filming the last part of his Republic of China trilogy."

"Evil Never Dies?"

"Yes, he has been preparing for this movie for several years and said that it will be released next year no matter what."

Zhou Mo took a sip of juice and nodded.

"Okay, let him take the photo."

Marco was stunned and a little curious about Zhou Mo's reaction.

"You didn't insist and let him continue filming."

Zhou Mo asked back: "If I persist, will Lao Jiang be able to take the photo?"

Marco thought about it and said as if he had made an appointment.

"No."

Whether it was "Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment" or "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", in the final analysis it was Jiang Wen who wanted to shoot the film and "add private work to it".

No one can stop him.

"That's it, if he doesn't want to take the photos, then don't take them. His hands are on his body. If he is not in the mood to take the photos, no matter how hard you force him, he won't be able to take any photos." Zhou Mo was very open-minded.

"I thought you would think of other ways, like calling President Han together."

"Hey, don't worry." Zhou Mo waved his hand.

He had watched "Evil Never Dies" in his previous life.

Jiang Wen takes pictures whenever he wants.

Other collaborations can be carried out after filming is completed.

Anyway, people are here and won’t disappear out of thin air.

If you stop for a while, maybe you will be able to find it more smoothly next time.

After saying that, Zhou Mo raised his glass of Sprite and clinked glasses with Mao Weining beside him.

"Director Mao, are you interested in taking on more projects?"

Mao Weining was stunned, and joy immediately appeared in his eyes.

"By thoughtful you mean...?"

"It's still about the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid the People's Liberation Army, including the Battle of Shangganling and the Battle of Changjin Lake. There are so many things that can be filmed. As long as Director Mao wants to film something, our company can get a team for you."

Mao Weining was shocked by Zhou Mo's arrogance.

"Director Zhou, these classes are not small projects."

"Yes, but our company is OK and can afford it."

It’s worthy of being called mountains and rivers.

Mao Weining was moved, but still did not agree immediately. "But Director Zhou, I have never directed the filming of a movie before. I have always been shooting TV series."

This is a problem.

Zhou Mo thought for a moment and said, "We can start with TV series. Our company also has TV series projects."

When Mao Weining heard this, he felt half disappointed and half relieved.

He felt disappointed as if he had missed an opportunity.

Anxin TV series are his comfort zone.

"So what angle does Director Zhou want to start from? I think Director Zhou should not just shoot one scene, or the airport battle."

"Of course." Zhou Mo said without hesitation.

The War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea is a very legendary and complicated history.

There is an immense amount of content that can be portrayed and described during this period.

This is also one of the reasons why there were more and more film and television dramas related to the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea in the years after patriotic films became popular in the past.

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

It’s a pity that there are not many with really good quality.

Instead of handing it over to others, Zhou Mo thought about it and decided that it would be better for their company to take the lead and control the quality.

Regardless of how good the results will be, at least it can't be filmed into something like battlefield romance, battlefield gangs, or battlefield martial arts.

"So what does Director Zhou mean?"

"You can start with the characters, find a few well-known historical heroes or those whose deeds are deeply rooted in people's hearts, use their story lines as the foundation, and expand to the entire battlefield."

Mao Weining said "eh" and thought this was indeed a good idea.

Several names suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Huang Jiguang, Qiu Shaoyun, Li Yannian..."

"Well, it's these people. My goal is to not treat the enemy as fools, nor myself as a god when filming the stories of these characters. I must clearly explain the reasons, ideals, and beliefs for participating in the war." Zhou Mo specifically reminded.

"Just like what you, Director Zhou, told us during the filming of 'Surprise Attack on the White Tigers', that we need to explain the characters clearly?" Mao Weining asked.

“Yes, there are too few related contents in China, and our domestic directors have done too little to portray humanity in wartime.

It's either love talk or empty preaching, and there are even some magical dramas that treat the audience like fools.

I want to see more fleshed out characters, more real characters.

This is your strong point, Director Mao. I don’t think anyone can help you more reliably.”

Mao Weining was so delighted by Zhou Mo's praise that he wanted to shout three times on the spot to show his excitement.

Express your opinion immediately.

"I'll take this job. Director Zhou, don't worry. I will definitely go all out for this project."

……

The banquet of "Surprise Attack on the White Tigers" is over.

Zhou Mo lay in bed for the whole morning.

I avoided the alcohol for most of the time, but in the end I couldn't avoid it.

Once the first sip of wine is down, there is no reason to refuse the subsequent ones.

After returning to the company, Zhou Mo took some hangover medicine and felt better, but he still felt a little churning in his abdomen.

"No, these people are just like animals. They don't care about their lives. I will never drink at a banquet again."

No matter how good your drinking capacity is, you can't handle so many toasts.

The assistant suddenly said, "Director Zhou, there is a celebration banquet for Director Chen tomorrow."

Zhou Mo: ...

Only then did he remember that there was still a match to be played with Brother Kaizi.

These two are really something, they can even celebrate together.

It is true that everyone has their own dreams and they are all wonderful.

"Why don't you just not go? Just say I'm sick."

The assistant said nothing.

Zhou Mo sighed and gave up the unrealistic idea.

How could I not go?

After so many years, Brother Kaizi once again achieved success in the international arena, and he wanted to call the entire entertainment industry to celebrate with him.

They invited me sincerely a month in advance, so it would be hurtful not to go.

"Forget it, just go... Look at the plan, besides Director Chen, do you have anything else to do in the next month?"

"No, the next big thing should be the release of The Frozen Throne in July."
