Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 70: Chasing the Selected Person at Speed

"Boss Yang wants to introduce an actor?"

Boss Yang did not hide it: "There are indeed a few people who would like to introduce Director Zhou. They are all very dedicated actors. If they can be used, I hope Director Zhou will give them a chance."

"I understand. After all, Boss Yang supports such a large group of people, so he has to consider them."

Zhou Mo expressed his understanding, but did not intend to agree to Boss Yang's request.

The main characters of "John Wick" have been confirmed.

Among them, the protagonist is Zhang Jin, and this situation had been decided several months ago.

In order to get this role, Zhang Jin specially participated in several months of shooting training. Now he is very good at the Mozambique shooting method of two shots to the body and one shot to the head.

As for the duo in the Continental Hotel.

One is the hotel receptionist. This character will have some gunfights and action scenes in the third movie. The person Zhou Mo calls is Wu Yue.

The other is the actual controller of the Continental Hotel's kimchi branch, an ambitious and shrewd person in power who is trying to break away from the control of the High Table.

Zhou Mo invited Wang Xueqi to play the role.

It just so happened that he was familiar with this kind of role that was in a high position but had to be patient.

In addition, the two villains in the first part, the gangster boss who killed the protagonist and his gangster father, were played by Koji Yano and Shinichi Chiba respectively.

Zhou Mo specifically specified these two candidates.

It is because of the nationality of these two actors.

In its previous life, "John Wick" was one of the classic American action movies, and the villains in the first part were two hairy bears.

As for the reason, everyone who knows will understand.

But when it was Zhou Mo's turn to shoot, the nationalities of the two villains had to be changed.

Since we are going to adapt it, we naturally have to make it perfect.

The change from the Teddy Bear to the Sakura is undoubtedly for the sense of immersion.

The main ticket base for this movie is still in China. For domestic audiences, killing Japanese devils is always an attractive topic.

In other words, the new version of "John Wick" is a story about a fruity guy in kimchi killing his way through the Sakura gang.

As for why there are gangsters from Sakura in Kimchi Province.

Do not ask.

The question is about the unique setting of the Hitman universe.

Back to the present.

Boss Yang was not disappointed when he heard Zhou Mo's response. After working with Zhou Mo once, he also knew Zhou Mo's habits in making movies and he liked to use his own team.

This time I asked, just to give it a try with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

Just when he was about to say that it was okay, he heard Zhou Mo say again: "The leading role is definitely not possible, but there are still several supporting roles. If the two bosses need it, you can share it."

Boss Yang raised his eyebrows.

Is there really a pleasant surprise?
"I wonder who the supporting roles Director Zhou mentioned are?"

Zhou Mo thought for a moment: "For example, the female bartender in the mainland hotel, the doctor who sewed up the protagonist's gunshot wound, and the hotel staff who issued the bounty, etc."

He just thought for a moment and felt that he should release some characters.

After all, you will be ordering people to do work in the future, so getting them to participate more will help them work harder later on.

Anyway, they are all supporting roles and only have a few lines.

The two of them simply allocated the places.

The small gathering of three people came to an end and the two bosses left first.

Before leaving, Boss Yang called Huo Wenxi and asked her to take Zhou Mo around.

Huo Wenxi had no objection.

The two went downstairs, and Huo Wenxi took Zhou Mo to contact the others.

After a round of discussions, only a very few people had more or less negative emotions in their eyes, but they also appeared polite.

Most people are very polite.

Even some seniors who had made great names in the past showed great enthusiasm.

After a while, when Zhou Mo was drinking, Doctor Chen suddenly ran over and asked excitedly: "Director Zhou, I heard that there will be a car racing plot this time? Can you let me hit Wu Bai again?"

Zhou Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Doctor, where did you hear this news? There was drag racing, but it was mostly just the protagonist racing with other people. There was no scene where a truck hit someone."

After hearing this, the disappointment on Dr. Chen's face was visible to the naked eye.

"Ah? Can't bump into Wu Bai? That's such a pity..."

Zhou Mo joked, "Doctor, are your habits in the music industry so undisguised? Pay attention to your image."

Doctor Chen waved his hand.

"Don't worry, Director Zhou. Wu Bai and I have a very good relationship. He won't mind."

Zhou Mo thought to himself that he really wouldn't care.

Because since the filming of "New World" was completed, Wu Bai has contacted him several times, hoping that there will be a chance in the future to meet Dr. Chen again.

But it's a good thing that the two of them are competing like this, because it's the one who benefits Zhou Mo.

Anyway, he will have many movies to shoot in the future. Just pick a few of them and let these two people love and hate each other, which can become a fixed easter egg at that time.

"Don't worry, I will definitely let you two perform when there is a chance in the future, but you have to sing a theme song for me again then." Zhou Mo wrote a blank check.

Doctor Chen was overjoyed: "No problem, Director Zhou, as long as you can let me drive my car and pay 500 yuan, let alone one song, three, five, or even ten songs, I won't charge you anything."

……

at night.

Zhou Mo was lying on a large bed of unknown size, doing the up and down movements that were unique to his hands.

Do not misunderstand.

He is typing on the keyboard.

Lizhan has recently taken on several film promotion tasks. As a boss, he needs to give some advice. Some films that are doomed to fail can be accepted without any need to be accepted.

For example, "Legend of the White Snake".

A bad movie produced by Juli Company and starring Jet Li and Huang Shengyi.

"He also sincerely invited me to attend the premiere and was willing to pay us a huge sum of one million yuan to promote the film. Fuck, Yang Zai is crazy."

Decisive choice to refuse.

After finishing his work, Zhou Mo opened the webpage again and casually browsed the news in the entertainment section.

Last month, Li Bingbing's team announced that they had accepted the role of Ada Wong in "Resident Evil 5", which caused quite a stir in the entertainment industry.

This is Hollywood, after all.

Although it is just a movie adapted from a game, it still makes many actresses envious.

In the domestic film industry in 2011, Hollywood occupies the supreme position in the hearts of people in the industry, from directors to actors.

There has been another uproar on the Internet regarding Li Bingbing's participation in "Resident Evil 5".

Mainly for the international chapter.

Many people mocked her for "coming back from Hollywood in disgrace", while Li Bingbing was "about to go abroad".

Of course, it is unknown how many of them are real netizens and how many are water armies.

On the other hand, Zhang Ziyi was not to be outdone.

She had been holding a grudge since last month, and as soon as she got the chance this month, she was determined to get back at him.

Just three days ago, her team also announced the news -

Zhang Ziyi will star in the romantic film "Dangerous Liaisons" with an investment of up to 200 million yuan, and her salary will be as high as 20 million yuan.

Afterwards, Zhang Ziyi even said directly in an interview: "The status of an actor cannot be improved by just going abroad, it also depends on acting skills and ability..."

It is obviously a satire on Li Bingbing.

For a while, the entire Internet was filled with people watching the show.

Zhou Mo looked at the news collected by netizens and felt very excited.

It is worthy of being an international chapter.

I will never tolerate anything if I can speak.

It's just that my brain is a little bit insufficient.

What is "going abroad"? Isn't this also talking about yourself...

This method of hurting the enemy by a thousand while hurting yourself by eight hundred is indeed rare.

"It's still more exciting to watch the fights between big actresses, whether it's between the two ice queens or the international Zhang and the others, the degree of their fighting is much stronger than the fighting ability of the future 85s."

Zhou Mo sighed.

I took a screenshot of the website content and sent it to Da Tiantian, asking her to read it carefully and learn from it.

In the future, try not to make such suffocating remarks when you are looking for trouble.

After sending the message, Zhou Mo didn’t care about Da Tiantian’s reaction.

I fell asleep immediately.

Early the next morning.

The phone rings.

connected.

Da Tiantian's anxious voice sounded.

"Zhou Mo, hurry up and check the Internet."
