Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 7 Wrap-up and Promotion
Thanks to Zhou Mo's four years of talking.

In this life, Da Tiantian gradually realized that it would be difficult to realize her dream of becoming famous just by spending money. If she wanted to become famous, she must be popular among passers-by.

And to be popular among the public, one needs to have certain acting skills to support it.

There is actually no linear relationship between popularity and acting skills.

Having good acting skills does not necessarily mean you will be popular with the public, such as the international star Zhang Ziyi.

But if you want to be popular with the public, your acting skills must not be too bad.

Da Tiantian has a certain understanding of her acting skills, unlike some fans of later stars who stubbornly say that their idols have superb acting skills.

Knowing that his level seemed, perhaps, indeed a little insufficient, he habitually began to use his external brain: "What should I do, Zhou Mo, use your invincible brain to think of a solution."

This has been the way the two of them have been getting along over the past few years.

It has a Pavlov-and-pet style.

Zhou Mo coughed lightly, "I have a word that can solve this dilemma."

"explain."

Da Tiantian took out her cell phone as usual and was about to transfer the money, but was stopped by Zhou Mo.

"I don't want money."

"Then what do you want?"

"When asking for advice, you should be polite and wear a maid outfit."

Jing Tian was so angry that he pinched Zhou Mo immediately.

"You want me to wear a maid outfit? Who do you think I am? Zhou Mo, let me tell you, even if I jump off here and die, I will never wear a maid outfit for you."

Zhou Mo rubbed his waist and said, "It's okay if you don't wear it, but you have to give something."

"Don't mention maid costumes again, or I'll do it."

"Call me brother and I'll tell you."

Jing Tian was stunned: "I'm older than you, and you want me to call you brother?"

Zhou Mo spread his hands: "You don't want to wear a maid outfit, and I've already taken a step back and asked you to call me brother, but you still don't want to. You're making it very difficult for me."

Jingtian thought about it and it seemed to make some sense.

Her little face turned red, and she said shyly, "Good brother, just tell me."

Zhou Mo groaned and felt relaxed all over.

I opened the window and found that Uncle Zhou was not lying to me.

"Okay, I'm done, tell me now!"

"The Dharma is not passed on to the sixth ear. Come here."

Da Tiantian leaned over and only heard a few short sentences:

"Cooking, just practice more."

Thirty seconds later.

"Zhou Mo, stop right there! I'm going to break your legs." Da Tiantian chased Zhou Mo around the company with a stick in her hand.

"Come on, come on."

"If you have the guts, why don't you just stop running?"

"If you have the guts, don't chase me!"

……

"Okay, Tiantian, you performed very well in this hysterical state after being betrayed."

On the set, Zhou Mo directed the filming.

What is being filmed is a crying scene.

Lu Ran, the ex-boyfriend played by Guo Jingfei, told all his grievances to the heroine Huang Xiaoxian and left in a taxi.

Huang Xiaoxian was chasing after him.

On the way, he was stopped by the sissy Wang Xiaojian, played by Lei Jiayin.

Crying.

At this moment, Huang Xiaoxian was doubting her life, and her crying expressed all her grievances and self-doubts.

I, Huang Xiaoxian, am so outstanding, how could I be abandoned!

The producer stood behind and looked at the crying Da Tiantian in the camera, and was quite surprised: "Okay, that's great."

He felt that Jingtian had the opportunity to become a people's artist in the future.

Just this acting, just this crying scene.

Who doesn’t say Jingtian is a great actor?

"Tiantian will definitely achieve great results in the future. I think she deserves at least a Best Actress award."

Zhou Mo coughed.

The producer reacted and said, "Of course, all this is due to your guidance, Director Zhou."

The corner of Zhou Mo's mouth twitched and felt numb.

I asked you to be more restrained when praising others, not to praise me.

Didn’t you see that the assistant next to him could hardly hold back his smile?

But Zhou Mo really couldn't bear to hurt the elders' hopes for his daughter, so he could only nod and say, "Tiantian's performance was indeed good this time, and it has met my expectations."

Zhou Mo’s requirement is not to fall behind.

Lei Datou and Guo Jingfei provide supplementary acting skills, while Tiantian is responsible for providing traffic and appearance.

God knows how much time and effort he has wasted trying to improve Da Tiantian's acting skills during this period.

That was all worked out with my mouth, game by game!
As they were talking, Tiantian came over, wiping away her tears.

Zhou Mo raised his thumb and said, "Tiantian, you performed very well this time."

Da Tiantian smiled slightly, but her tone was quite gloomy: "How can I deserve such praise from Director Zhou? After all, I have a dull mind and I will never be able to open my mind in this life."

She was talking about the last time Zhou Mo scolded her on the set. This woman still holds a grudge.

Once, after Da Tiantian failed several times, Zhou Mo couldn't help but get angry at her.

Just a few words.

It made Da Tiantian cry.

Fortunately, Da Tiantian is still dedicated. After adjusting her mentality, she came back to act.

The price was that Zhou Mo found Da Tiantian that night:
"I'm sorry, Da Tiantian, there were too many people outside just now..."

Unlike usual, Zhou Mo was quite cold on the set.

If there is anything wrong, he will scold you immediately.

There's no way. Although he has a rich resume, he is still a new director after all.

Although directors have always been in charge of the crew in the domestic entertainment industry, this situation is not static.

It is not uncommon for new directors to have their voice taken away by actors.

This is how Lao Jiang treated Lu Tailang in "Looking for the Gun".

The actors were found by Lao Jiang, the script was written by Lao Jiang, and even the investment was attracted by Lao Jiang.

Although the director's name is written as Rikutaro.

But in a movie, the actors are old-fashioned, the lines are old-fashioned, and the style is full of old-fashioned.

So this is Lao Jiang’s movie.

If Zhou Mo wants to gain a foothold in the crew, without any independent works, he must have something to stand on.

Coldness becomes a talisman.

It is better to scare people than to make them laugh.

This is also the reason why he did not choose Wen Zhang as the male lead. This guy is very disrespectful to people who are not as high-ranking as him.

Back to the present, Zhou Mo glanced at the producer, only to find that he was looking at the horizon: "The sun is really nice today."

The assistant at the side glanced at the moon in the sky and didn't dare to speak.

Da Tiantian saw the three people looking in three directions without saying anything. In the end, she gave Zhou Mo face and stomped her feet and left.

Once Da Tiantian is dealt with, everything else will be easy.

Seeing Da Tiantian lowering her head and acting submissive, the other actors also stopped talking.

The director even dared to scold Da Tiantian, let alone them.

Can't afford to offend, really can't afford to offend.

In this atmosphere, the filming of the movie went quite smoothly.

Huang Xiaoxian attended her friend's wedding and met her ex-boyfriend Lu Ran at the scene. With the help of Wang Xiaojian, she made Lu Ran look very ugly.

After communicating with Mr. Wei and the teacher, she gradually realized that it was better to listen than to argue, and it was better to cooperate than to complain.

Huang Xiaoxian lost Lu Ran, but also gained rebirth and confidence.

To meet a better self...

"Love Is Not Blind" has officially wrapped up!

Zhou Mo officially announced the end of the filming, and Da Tiantian waved her hand and took everyone directly to the hotel for the wrap-up party.

"Sweet princess is generous."

At the banquet, the producer asked about the plan: "Director Zhou, are you sure you want to release it during the May Day holiday? Isn't it a bit rushed? If it is released in the second half of the year, there will be more time.

Zhou Mo glanced at the producer.

I thought you were really brave, can you make a splash at the box office in the second half of the year?

"Earthquake" and "Let the Bullets Fly", two films that broke box office records, took turns to appear.

With these two great gods around, anyone who comes will be cannon fodder.

"No, ours is an urban romance movie, it won't take much time to produce."

The producer wanted to persuade him again, but Da Tiantian came over and took Zhou Mo's arm: "Let's listen to Zhou Mo about the movie. He is the director and must know the most about movies."

The producer was helpless, as the girl couldn't be kept after she grew up.

The elbow almost hit him in the face.

The producer left, and without waiting for Zhou Mo to thank him, Da Tiantian snorted coldly and turned away.

Well, this is still a petty act.

Zhou Mo was not in a hurry either. The ugly daughter-in-law would have to meet her parents-in-law sooner or later, and they would have to hold hands when the movie was released.

And so, time came to mid-April.

The film production is nearing completion.

Zhou Mo has been focusing on film editing and has paid little attention to publicity. He has handed over the publicity and promotion to Da Tiantian.

We have not yet reached the stage in the future where publicity is more important than production. And there are no strong competitors in the May Day period, so we might as well leave it to Da Tiantian to train.

"You are already a mature actress. You should learn to set the pace yourself."

This is what Zhou Mo told Da Tiantian.

Tiantian did the same thing, and watched the promotion and publicity calmly until one day.

"Oh no, Zhou Mo, something happened."

"what happened?"

Zhou Mo opened the website and took a look. The bold black title almost blinded his eyes——

"New directors aim at veteran directors."

The subtitle is:

"Love Is Not Blind" declares war on "Ip Man 33".
