Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 97 No, She Will Agree

"Let's pick Huo Jianhua. It just so happens that he has been very popular in the past two years. Besides, haven't he and Lao Hu been promoting the Hu-Huo combination recently? It would be appropriate for the two of them to play brothers."

Zhou Mo finalized Huo Jianhua, and then explained the ideas for future hype to a few people.

After listening to it, several people had different reactions.

Hu Ge and Liu Shishi were shocked by Zhou Mo's pervasive hype inspiration.

Cai Yinong was ecstatic.

She had been quiet before because she had basically never had any contact with film resources and was not qualified to comment on the casting of Zhou Mo's films.

But when it comes to "Legend of Sword and Fairy III".

She had something to say.

This was a project that she had negotiated personally, so she knew exactly how to promote it and what to promote.

So, Cai Yinong volunteered.

"Director Zhou, we, Tangren, will take care of all the publicity for "Qi Jia Dao" related to "Xian San" in the future."

"No problem, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Cai."

Zhou Mo naturally agreed.

"Qi Family Blade" is fully invested by Shanhe Film and Television.

He was not at all worried that Tsai Ing-wen would seize the right to speak, allowing the latter to make more efforts and share a lot of publicity tasks.

The two discussed related publicity and promotion matters for a while, and then Cai Yinong and Li Guoli left first.

Hugo asked a few more questions about the character's personality and then left.

He has another event to run today.

When there were only two people left in the room, Zhou Mo stood up and got a glass of water.

When passing by the room door, lock it.

After coming back to his senses, his originally smiling face suddenly changed, and he threatened Liu Shishi: "Tell me! What's going on between you and Tang Yan? Why did you take the initiative to help her get a role?"

Liu Shishi avoided the question and said, "No, I just recommended her when I thought of her. I didn't take the initiative to help her apply."

Zhou Mo curled the corners of his mouth.

"You're not going to tell me, witch? Take my sword!"

Liu Shishi was shocked.

After a while, Liu Shishi's face turned red after being beaten.

"That's what I said... Tangtang mentioned to me when she was filming Xuan-Yuan Sword. She hoped I could introduce her to a role in front of you."

It turned out to be the case.

Zhou Mo suddenly realized.

He said that the two people who were originally competitors suddenly became like sisters and started helping each other.

"I'm afraid Tang Yan's asking you for help isn't without cost."

When Liu Shishi heard this, she stood up immediately: "Of course, Tang Yan said that as long as I can help her, she will be willing to bow down to me in the promotion of "Xuan-Yuan Sword"...

really.

Zhou Mo sighed.

The competition among female stars for ranking has been going on for a long time and is becoming increasingly fierce.

A few days ago, Zhang Ziyi had a quarrel with Zhang Baizhi on the set over their ranking.

It is normal that Tang Yan is willing to exchange her ranking for a recommendation from Liu Shishi.

But Zhou Mo could also guess that what Tang Yan said to Liu Shishi was not about "bowing down and obeying the master", but at most just helping with publicity.

So Zhou Mo pretended to be furious: "Well, you actually used the character in my movie to do me a favor, what crime should you be punished for?"

Liu Shishi also knew that Zhou Mo was not really angry.

She said in cooperation: "Just let the young master deal with it. I am willing to accept the punishment."

The sky cleared up after the rain.

After cleaning the room, Zhou Mo, who was drinking water, suddenly heard Liu Shishi speak again.

"By the way, have you ever thought about inviting Yang Mi to play a role in "The Qi Family Blade" as well?"

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Shishi with some surprise.

Did this girl take the wrong medicine today?
First, I recommended Tang Yan, and later I planned to recommend Yang Mi. If I had recommended Tang Yan before, it could be said to be an exchange of interests.

Now that Yang Mi was recommended, Zhou Mo couldn't understand it at all.

Are there any new dramas that these two people are collaborating on recently?

At this moment, he was very curious about Liu Shishi's mental state.

Moreover, in his opinion, the relationship between Liu and Yang was no longer that of an ordinary rival, but rather had a bit of a bitter flavor.

As for the reason, it is naturally the two dramas "Palace" and "Bu Bu".

As mentioned before, in this life, due to the postponement of the broadcast of the new version of "The Myth", the two dramas "Palace" and "Bu Bu" about time travel with pigtails were broadcast nearly a year later than in the previous life.

A few months ago, "Bu Bu" was first launched as a project, but the news was not announced immediately.

The reason was that Liu Shishi was still filming "New World" at that time and could not return to the company for promotion immediately, so it was delayed for some days.

Later, Yu Zheng seized this opportunity and took the lead in announcing the project launch of "Palace", which was expected to be broadcast in March of the following year.

Coincidentally, the premiere date of "Bu Bu" is also around the same.

Therefore, the two dramas are completely in conflict with each other.

Liu Shishi and Yang Mi naturally became rivals and were dissatisfied with each other.

Plus there is the competition among young actresses.

The relationship between the two of them is no longer just a fake sisterhood. They can't even be called sisters and can't even pretend in front of the camera.

Therefore, Zhou Mo really didn't expect that Liu Shishi could recommend Yang Mi.

Liu Shishi also knew that it was not normal for her to suddenly do this.

But she also has her own reasons.

Back then, Yang Mi was the serious female lead in The Legend of Sword and Fairy III.

And she is just a weak, helpless and pitiful third girl.

Now, as the leading actress of a movie, if she could call on Yang Mi to play a supporting role.

That taste...

It was probably more comfortable than the nights before.

She explained, "Didn't you say, Zhou Mo, that you want to promote the sentiments of The Chinese Paladin III? If so, Yang Mi will definitely be indispensable to the Chinese Paladin III crew. After all, she is the heroine of The Chinese Paladin III. If she can be invited to play a supporting role in Qi Family Blade, I'm sure the audience will be more receptive to it."

Liu Shishi deliberately emphasized the words "protagonist" and "supporting role".

Now, Zhou Mo completely understood.

It turns out that you wanted Yang Mi to be your partner.

Gee tut.

Women's jealousy...

"Shi Shi, I'm now sure that you can play the role of Zhang Yan well." Zhou Mo's tone was very relieved.

He no longer has to worry about Liu Shishi's acting skills in "The Swordsman of the Qi Family".

Liu Shishi handed him a sanitary eye.

"So what exactly do you think? Should we let Yang Mi star in the movie?"

"It's fine to let her act, but it's useless for me to say anything about this matter. Even if I agree, she may not be willing to play a supporting role for you."

Zhou Mo himself had no objection to inviting Yang Mi to star in "The Swordsman of the Qi Family".

On the contrary, he even thought it was appropriate.

In 2012, Yang Mi had not yet embarked on her subsequent road to fame and reputation, and her popularity among the public was quite good.

In addition, she is one of the four little beauties and the heroine of "Xian III".

The glass sisterhood between Takeout and Liu Shishi.

Once used for promotion, it can bring huge bonus to the movie.

If it really happened, the movie would change from a fight between two women to a fight between three women.

The added value of such content to film promotion is more than just adding one more person.

It's an all-round upgrade.

A big leap in quality.

But the question is, is Yang Mi willing to play a supporting role?
