Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 83 Victory is Justice Crew
Although he discovered the problem, Wu Jing couldn't think of a solution for a while.

"I can change the setting, but then the protagonist won't stand out that much."

“This is easy to solve. You can set the location abroad and change the plot to the protagonist or the protagonist team leading a team to raid the drug lord’s lair.

In this way, even the ambush of the protagonist's team can be considered acceptable, after all, they are attacking on someone else's territory, and letting the protagonist stand up at the critical moment will make the plot much smoother. "

Zhou Mo's suggestions to Wu Jing were a mixture of ideas from "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Mekong".

These two movies were also super hits in their previous lives.

If the film follows a similar plot, the result will definitely be more popular than "Wolf Warrior 1".

As expected, after listening to it, Wu Jing immediately applauded.

"Wonderful-ah!"

At this moment, Wu Jing felt endless admiration in his heart.

As expected of the leader of the new generation of directors, he solved the confusion he had always had in just a few words.

He looked at Zhou Mo's calm expression and blurted out a word.

"Director Zhou, otherwise you can make this movie."

Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Brother Jing, you are kidding."

"I'm not kidding."

Wu Jing shook his head and said seriously, "I really think that if Director Zhou were to shoot this movie, the result would definitely be better than mine, and the box office would be much better than mine."

Seeing that he wasn't joking, Zhou Mo thought about it and gave his answer.

"Forget it, director. Brother Jing, this is the script you wrote after all. I just gave some suggestions. It would be bad if you took over my position.

But I can promise you that if you make this movie one day in the future, I can be your chief producer, and our company can also provide you with investment at that time."

When Wu Jing heard this, she felt disappointed but also relieved.

His idea was indeed as Zhou Mo said. After all, it was the script he wrote himself. If he could also achieve good results from filming it himself, it would of course be better to film it himself.

What's more, Director Zhou is here.

"In that case, Director Zhou, shall we sign a contract?" Wu Jing once again requested to sign a contract.

Zhou Mo has no objection.

The reason for not taking over the "Wolf Warrior" series is that there are not many good movies in China, and there is no need to snatch Wu Jing's lifeblood.

Besides, there are actually a lot of good works to learn from, such as "Parasite", "The Veteran", "The Hunt", and "Gone Girl".
But not being a director doesn't mean Zhou Mo doesn't want to make money.

Anyway, in his previous life, no one invested in Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" series, which forced him to sell his house at one point.

In that case, it would be better to let Zhou Mo earn the money.

Fortunately, there were professionals on both sides, and it didn’t take much time to draft the content.

Zhou Mo and Wu Jing signed the contract.

Both parties were satisfied with the contents of the contract.

At this point, Zhou Mo’s last matter in the crew was resolved.

After leaving the crew, Zhou Mo prepared to return to Yanjing.

Before leaving, he attended another cocktail party, which was still hosted by the two bosses Lin and Yang. The purpose was to discuss some matters about film distribution with Zhou Mo and introduce some artists from their own company.

Zhou Mo didn't see anything particularly interesting at the party.

The only thing worth noting is that the female companion of Lin Jianyue’s eldest son Shen has changed again, becoming an unknown actress.

It seems that the leader’s girlfriend should have become Yang Tianbao.

After returning to the mainland, Zhou Mo first went to the Magic City.

"Victory is Justice" has already started filming.

Normally, it takes more than ten months for a TV series to go from review to premiere, and sometimes even one to one and a half years.

It has only been more than eight months since Zhou Mo met with Ren Zhonglun in June to finalize the script for "Victory is Justice", which is scheduled to premiere in February next year.

From a time perspective, it is undoubtedly tight.

Fortunately, this TV series is invested by Shanghai Film Group and promoted by Ren Zhonglun. Although the shooting progress is not very fast, efficiency can be improved in other aspects.

The crew of "Victory is Justice".

Zhou Mo saw Da Tiantian who had changed her hairstyle. Her hair was cut shorter, just reaching her shoulders.

The style of her facial makeup has also changed. It's now lighter, making her look a lot younger.

"Very good, this is the little lawyer in my mind."

As soon as they met, Zhou Mo started praising Da Tiantian.

As expected, Da Tiantian felt very pleased after hearing this and raised her head: "Yeah, I think so too, this makeup was my idea."

The two talked for a while.

Da Tiantian acts coquettishly with Zhou Mo.

He said that it was the first time he played the role of a lawyer and he was not used to it. Also, because he had to memorize so many lines, he made mistakes during the filming a few days ago and felt very embarrassed.

And all this was caused by Zhou Mo.

It was all Zhou Mo's fault. Zhou Mo had suddenly captured her as a soldier and left her no time to prepare.

Zhou Mo didn't say anything either, just listened quietly.

Even though Da Tiantian was complaining in her words, the fact was that the two hadn't seen each other for a while and Da Tiantian just wanted to find a chance to chat with him more.

Zhou Mo is very experienced in dealing with this kind of situation.

The vast majority of people just keep listening, occasionally responding with a sentence or two and that's it.

I believe many book lovers are familiar with this.

Da Tiantian was concerned about Zhou Mo: "Isn't your movie going to be released in January? Is it in time?"

"Of course, it's only the end of September now, there's still plenty of time for me to prepare, it's totally in time." Zhou Mo asked again: "Instead of worrying about me, why don't you talk to your crew, is the filming progress on track?"

"Fortunately, the director is quite good and there were basically no problems during the filming."

"That's fine. I remember the director is Fu Dongyu. He's pretty capable. As long as he's given a good script, the TV series will turn out well."

Zhou Mo knew this director because of a drug-related TV series in his previous life.

"Operation Ice Breaking".

In addition, this person also won the Huading Director Award for "The Wind Blows in Pin Summer".

The level is fully guaranteed.

Da Tiantian casually mentioned the company: "By the way, someone from the company called me a few days ago and said that our company has been the main promoter of the movie "Victory" so far, and that the response from Shanghai Film Group was not enough. You should pay attention to this."

Zhou Mo nodded, guessing that Ren Zhonglun's recent attention was probably mostly on "The Revolution of 1911" and he paid less attention to the promotion of "Victory".

Go back and remind him.

As they were talking, Guo Jingfei also came over.

When he saw Zhou Mo, this guy was the first to open his arms and gave Zhou Mo a big hug.

"Director Zhou, I miss you so much!"

Zhou Mo hugged him for a while, and after letting go, he joked, "What's wrong with you male actors? You always like to hug the director. This is not a good habit."

Guo Jingfei said bluntly: "Isn't this for the sake of building a good relationship with you, Director Zhou? If I can leave a deep impression on you, and you can remember me at a critical moment in the future, it will be enough for me to become famous."

Guo Jingfei's words were very straightforward.

But Zhou Mo didn't hate it.

Among those who enter the entertainment industry, how many do not want to be famous?

The vast majority of people in the circle who set up a personality of "not wanting to be famous" are those who cannot find opportunities to become famous, and have no choice but to choose another track.

If they are really given a chance, they will probably grab it desperately.

Seeing Guo Jingfei staring at him straight after he finished speaking, Zhou Mo patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Brother Fei, don't look at me like that. If I have a role suitable for you in the future, I will definitely ask you to play it."

After all, he is an actor who has signed a cooperation agreement with his own company. Praising him is just to accumulate audiences for future works.

　Thanks to the book friends who provided me with recommendation votes yesterday.

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