Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 81 Wu Jing: Develop Me Director

The appearance of Andrzej means that the filming of the first part of "John Wick" has come to an end.

"I declare that John Wick: Chapter 11 has officially wrapped filming."

Following Zhou Mo's voice, the entire crew burst into cheers.

That night, the crew held a grand wrap-up party.

Many people were drunk.

When people get drunk, they tend to lose control of their mouths.

When a few drunks get together, it's as if they're having a grievance meeting, as if they want to talk about all the troubles in their lives.

Zhang Jin said that he has never been very popular and was always ridiculed as a gigolo, and he felt very sorry for his wife.

Wu Yue said that he has been in the industry for many years but has never been very popular and is not as popular as Zhang Jin.

Wu Jing said that she came to Hong Kong to play supporting roles during her rising period, but encountered the decline of Hong Kong's film and television industry. When she returned to the mainland to develop her career, no one recognized her.

In order to prevent them from saying anything nonsense, Zhou Mo asked people to take them back to their rooms one by one after he had heard enough gossip.

A group of drunkards were settled.

Zhou Mo returned to the room and began to sort out the recent news.

The entertainment industry seems to be always very lively.

A lot of weird things happened during this period.

Especially Chen Kexin and Du Qifeng.

Both "Wuxia" and "Retribution" have flopped.

The former was criticized as "neither 'martial' nor 'chivalrous', and was just a bad movie."

In addition to the failure of the film, as more and more information about Chen Kexin's filming was dug out by the resourceful netizens, these people were given the title of "Straw Hat Director" a few days ago.

As for Du Qifeng, this old guy has had a really hard time since some of his past remarks were spread one after another.

Not only some investors who had cooperated with us many times in the past have stopped contacting us.

Even some actors became cold towards him.

I see that the videos about myself are updated every day on this website and they often become hot searches.

Du Qifeng felt quite frightened.

If we let the station continue to publish content like this, God knows what will come out.

His recent mood is regret.

Very sorry.

He originally just wanted to take advantage of his seniority and show off in front of the young people, but he actually hit a wall.

It’s not that Du Qifeng didn’t try to remedy the situation, but Zhou Mo simply ignored him.

Every time I tried to contact them, they just said one sentence.

"See you next January."

Seeing that the other party was going to use him as a cushion, Du Qifeng felt ruthless.

Aren't you just competing with me?
Then come on!

At the end of August, Du Qifeng said in an interview, "Although I have never thought about competing, using movies to communicate is also a good way to communicate."

After this statement was made, the media became excited again.

I thought the show was over.

I didn’t expect there’s even DLC?!

As soon as the topic came out, many media outlets joined in promoting it.

Some media even made posters.

A picture with photos of Zhou Mo and Du Qifeng on the left and right sides respectively.

On the left, the background of Zhou Mo’s photo is a ball of light, symbolizing the rising sun, full of vitality.

On the right, Du Qifeng's photo has a noticeably darker tone, symbolizing an existence that is gradually losing its vitality.

Anyway, that’s how Zhou Mo understood it.

As to whether this is the real meaning.

It doesn't matter.

Just believe it yourself.

He left a comment under the message.

"The new movie has been completed. See you in the theaters on January 1 next year."

Once the statement, which was almost a declaration of war, was issued, it immediately attracted a huge amount of attention and spread.

Many netizens, while forwarding this information, also gave predictions on the outcome of the duel between the two directors.

Among them, about 40% believe that Zhou Mo will win.

Only 20% of people believe that Du Qifeng can win.

The remaining 40% of the options did not mean that the two directors were evenly matched, but rather that they hoped that instead of using movies to compete with each other, the two would instead have a real-life fight offline.

They just want to see rivers of blood.

And I am willing to buy a ticket for this. I can only say that he is indeed a fun person.

The train of thought is unique.

It’s a pity that Zhou Mo did not respond in time this time.

It’s not that he didn’t want to participate in the vote, but he was entangled by Wu Jing.

"Director Zhou, are you really planning to develop me?"

"Brother Jing, I suggest you be careful with your words and actions. Your words may easily lead to misunderstandings. You don't care about your reputation, but I do."

Wu Jing blushed.

Scratching the back of his head, he explained, "I'm sorry I was too excited... Director Zhou, the truth is I haven't played a leading role in the film industry in the past few years. I heard from you that Leng Feng might have a separate story line, and I couldn't control myself for a while."

"Understandable."

Zhou Mo can understand Wu Jing's feelings.

This guy is a typical example of "U"-shaped development.

He became famous at a young age and won several championships in national martial arts competitions at the age of seventeen.

He entered the entertainment industry at the age of 21 and has had a smooth journey, playing many well-known roles.

Soon after, he went to Hong Kong and started acting as a supporting actor.

Then there is no more then.

From 2003 to now, I have been wandering around for nearly ten years, either acting as a supporting role for others or on the way to acting as a supporting role for others.

If things hadn't been going badly, Wu Jing probably wouldn't have come up with the idea of ​​making his own movie.

"Brother Jing, the story about Leng Feng is just an idea of ​​mine right now. We have to wait until the results of John Wick: Chapter 11 come out before we can make any follow-up plans."

"Ideas? Good ideas."

Wu Jing couldn't hide the excitement on his face. Through spending some time with Zhou Mo, he knew that the other person was not a person who talked nonsense.

Since he said he had an idea, he must have seriously thought about the plot of the character Leng Feng, rather than just saying it casually.

He added: "Director Zhou, to be honest, from my perspective, I think John Wick will do very well at the box office."

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows.

"Brother Jing is very optimistic about John Wick?"

"Yes, I think the box office of this movie should be very high." Wu Jing nodded.

He added: "Director Zhou, don't think I'm trying to force you to do this... The main reason is that I've made a movie before and I have some knowledge of the market."

"Brother Jing, are you talking about Wolf Fang?"

Wu Jing was a little surprised: "Director Zhou knows?"

Zhou Mo nodded and gave his evaluation.

"As the debut work of a non-professional director like Brother Jing, I think the filming is OK. At least the basic elements of a movie, such as villains, exciting moments, and foreshadowing are all there."

Wu Jing's face felt a little hot.

"Director Zhou, please stop praising me. I know the quality of Wolf Tooth. It has many flaws, otherwise it wouldn't have failed so badly at the box office."

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Failure is the mother of success. We all go through this. People like Brother Jing who can summarize and learn from experience will definitely be successful in the future."

In the corner, Zhuang Wenqiang, who had been silent all this time, heard this and rolled his eyes quietly.

Director Zhou is fooling people again.

This set of words is particularly familiar to him.

After all, that was how he was tricked in the first place.

But what Zhuang Wenqiang didn't expect was that Zhou Mo really didn't fool anyone this time.

In the past life, we can find this out by looking at Wu Jing’s career as a director.

This guy really learns his lesson.

From "Wolf Tooth", to "Wolf Warrior", to "Wolf Warrior 2".

Every time Wu Jing makes a movie, he can draw a lot of experience from the shortcomings of the previous movie.

Of course, although Zhou Mo was praising Wu Jing, he did have his own little thoughts.

Seeing Wu Jing's face turning red due to his praise, he felt quite elated.

Zhou Mo chuckled, showing his fangs.

"Brother Jing, how about this? Since you also think that John Wick will be a big hit in the future, why don't we sign a contract in advance? If our company decides to film Cold Wind in the future, I will definitely look for you first."

"no problem!"

Wu Jing patted his chest and signed his name quickly.

　Thanks to all the book friends who gave me recommendation tickets yesterday.

　　thank you all.

　　I am still asking for collections, recommendations, monthly tickets, follow-up reading and comments every day.

　　thank you all.
