Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 73 Stand up, don't kneel

Zhou Mo's words were very arrogant.

So much so that when Du Qifeng learned about Zhou Mo's interview, he smashed his phone on the spot.

"How dare he do this to me!"

He was about to fight back.

On the side, Luo Yongchang, the director of "Retribution", was helpless.

He wondered if he was unlucky as he happened to be involved in a fight between these two gentlemen.

Let these two fight, why bring up "Retribution"?
This is obviously his movie!

Seeing his own film become a victim of the struggle between two great directors.

Luo Yongchang realized that he had to find a way to stop the fight.

He didn't know Zhou Mo and couldn't afford to offend him.

Therefore, we can only start from Du Qifeng.

Luo Yongchang persuaded earnestly: "Director Du, there is no need for us to compete with him. He is a young man with bare feet and is not afraid of those wearing shoes. If you compete with him, you will not gain any advantage if you win, and you will lose face if you lose."

Du Qifeng glanced at his younger brother and shook his head.

"impossible."

Seeing this, Luo Yongchang wanted to persuade him again, but unfortunately, before he could open his mouth, he was blocked by Johnnie To.

Who is he Du Qifeng?

Except for some minor grievances he suffered in the first few years after entering the industry, he was the only one who scolded others in the next few decades, and it was never others' turn to criticize him.

The key is that you dare to say he is not good enough.

Pooh.

You can't do that.

So, Du Qifeng decisively contacted the media and arranged a time for an interview.

When the media received the news, they were all ready to watch a fight between two dragons.

Unfortunately, before the agreed time arrived, the media received another message.

"What, the interview was cancelled?"

"He's just promoting Retribution and has no time to respond to these rumors. I think he's just a coward."

"Fuck, you made me happy for nothing."

……

At the same time, Da Tiantian came to Zhou Mo with joy: "Du Qifeng actually gave in."

"Of course, we have worked together to expose all his dirty laundry. If he wants to continue making money in the mainland, he must admit defeat. Otherwise, the dirty laundry videos about him will be trending on this site for the rest of the day."

Zhou Mo felt a little emotional at this time.

It feels really good to have a publicity agency in hand.

At the very least, at some critical moments, we can have some say so that we won’t be slandered and have no way to fight back.

In his previous life, wasn’t it because of her connection with Weibo that Megatron dared to be so arrogant?
Zhou Mo had a smile on his face, but Da Tiantian noticed something was wrong.

"You don't seem very happy?"

"Well, Du Qifeng's sliding to his knees is faster than I thought."

"Is it bad to be quick to give in?"

"I want them to be our targets."

Zhou Mo didn't expect Du Qifeng to be so weak.

Less than two days after the video was posted on the website, the other party ran away.

Such a quick surrender made Zhou Mo feel quite regretful, "I haven't even tried my best, why did you fall down?"

"So that's the end of it?"

"of course not."

Zhou Mo shook his head: "I spent so much money to deal with him, not to let him run away."

"What did you do?" Da Tiantian asked curiously.

Zhou Mo explained: "I have already contacted Boss Lin. They will actively market the duel between "Overheard" and "John Wick". Anyway, Huanya has invested in both movies, so they will make money no matter who wins. Boss Lin has already agreed."

"But Du Qifeng may not agree."

"He has no choice but to agree."

Zhou Mo's tone was affirmative.

As expected, in the afternoon, Hong Kong media took the lead.

Although Du Qifeng said nothing, news about the competition between the two films still appeared on the Internet.

Da Tiantian watched Zhou Mo push Du Qifeng into the ditch step by step.

During this period, Zhou Mo also received a phone call.

Du Qifeng had someone pass on the message, hoping to ease the relationship. Unfortunately, Zhou Mo refused on the spot.

Zhuang Wenqiang was a little surprised: "Director Zhou, won't you consider it?"

"Don't be a coward if you want to play. Don't be a coward if you want to play. You can't just jump out when someone is looking for trouble, and then find that you can't win, and then you admit defeat and lose half of it."

Da Tiantian looked at Zhou Mo's arrogant look and said in a teasing tone: "Now, you have really become Qin Shi Huang."

Zhou Mo was curious: "What do you mean?"

"It's just that there are too many hot topics in the entertainment industry recently. Originally, each hot topic had its own group, and the crowds of spectators were in a state of chaos. But since the conflict between you and Du Qifeng was made public, the topic of you two has become the biggest gossip in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, the crowd calls you "Qin Shi Huang", which means the person who can end the chaos in the entertainment industry and eventually unify the world."

Da Tiantian explained the situation to Zhou Mo from beginning to end.

Only then did Zhou Mo realize that he had missed a lot of wonderful scenes.

The entertainment news in early July was lively and noisy.

Previously, there was the dispute between Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou over the title of “Two Zhangs”.

The two had a conflict over the filming of the movie. Zhang Weiping insisted on adding a sex scene for Zhang Yimou's newly chosen actress, but Zhang Yimou refused, and the two had a big unpleasant argument.

The dispute ended with Zhang Yimou taking a step back.

Zhang Weiping won the competition and was very proud of himself.

In an interview, he publicly announced that "The Flowers of War cost 600 million yuan to invest and will strive to become the first domestic box office of 1 billion yuan."

After the "two Zhangs" incident, the dispute between Zhang and Li followed. The two of them completely tore each other apart, and the quarrel was so intense that it was a constant battle.

Before the promotion has even been released, the other party is already impatiently sending out press releases.

So what if another person went out to taunt someone? Didn’t he still come back in disgrace?

They didn't give each other any face at all.

It was just short of fighting in public and pulling each other's hair.

After this, the "Wuxia" controversy arose again.

First, after the box office collapse of "Guan Yunchang", in order to avoid the criticism, Zhen Kung Fu posted a message saying that he would "concentrate on practicing" for a period of time and show everyone a better self.

As a result, within less than three months, he started promoting the company again.

Practice?

What the hell is cultivation?

Despite this, Zhen Gongfu is not the most dazzling boy in the "Wuxia" crew. The most dazzling things are still to come——

The "Straw Hat" incident broke out.

The cause of the incident was that the director of "Wu Xia", Chen Kexin, once boasted before the movie was released that the box office of the movie would be "at least 500 million, and 600 million would be no problem."

As a result, when the data of the movie's first-day box office of 1500 million came out, people both inside and outside the circle started to watch the show.

Return five hundred million.

I guess it’s hard to even get 300 million.

During the mockery, a "Wuxia" crew item purchase list appeared on the Internet.

The most surprising of these is an item called the "Protagonist Straw Hat," which is priced at six thousand dollars.

However, before the "Wuxia" crew responded, another "rumor" pointed out that six thousand dollars for a hat was nothing, as it did not include the postage, custody fees, and the labor costs of hiring someone to look after the straw hat.

Not only that, the postage for the straw hat is charged separately.

For a time, the entire entertainment industry was shocked.

Can you still make money this way?

Many people said they had learned a lot.

Many netizens also cursed.

"It costs so much to make a movie, no wonder we can't make good movies. The Chinese film industry is ruined by guys like you!"

Faced with overwhelming negative reviews, Chen Kexin skillfully began to play dead.

During the roadshow, he refused to answer any questions related to the "straw hat".

After all, he is a well-known director who knows how to handle emergencies.

Cool down, put it on hold, change the subject.

After a series of combined punches, even the hottest topic will lose its popularity in two days.

It’s a pity that Zhou Mo didn’t intend to let this guy get away with it so easily.
