Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 99 The December Battle Begins
"The only thing that makes me unhappy is Liu Shishi. She actually showed off in front of me, saying that with my participation, the movie will definitely be a big success... Don't I know what she means? Humph, a mere third female role... I will get back at her sooner or later in the future."

Zeng Jia was relieved to see that Yang Mi was not dissatisfied with the role.

As long as the movie can be made, everything else is easy.

As for the quarrels among actresses, Zeng Jia, as a veteran in the circle, has long been accustomed to it.

Tear it apart.

Tearing it more often can also increase the actor's traffic.

"Since you agree, I will reply to Shanhe Company."

Zeng Jia reminded, "However, Mimi, since you have already confirmed that you will be starring in "The Qi Family Blade", you should prepare the script well during this period of time, and don't think about taking on more dramas or anything like that. If you offend Director Zhou again, you will be completely finished."

Yang Mi nodded. She also knew that the mess she had made this time was quite big.

In the current entertainment industry, being banned by directors' wives is not really a small matter.

Didn’t you see that Zhang Jingchu was so famous in the past, but she was kicked out of the circle and her resources dropped sharply?
Although the reasons why she and Zhang Jingchu were banned were different, Chen Hong is much more difficult to talk to than Jiang Wenli.

At this moment, she must keep a low profile to reduce the negative impact of overlapping filming schedules.

……

Two days later.

Zhou Mo hung up the phone.

Liu Shishi asked from the side: "Did Yang Mi agree?"

Zhou Mo nodded.

"You must be feeling comfortable now. There are three beautiful women making money for you. I'm sure you must be feeling very happy." Liu Shishi said with sarcasm in her tone.

Zhou Mo smiled.

"Look at what you said. My company is just making some box office revenue. The ones who really make progress are you actors."

Liu Shishi made a snort and she found that the guy in front of her was becoming more and more shameless.

"By the way, why did Yang Mi ask to meet with you?"

"Zeng Jia heard that I have some friendship with Chen Hong, so she wanted me to be a middleman to help mediate and see if I can ease the relationship between Chen Hong and Yang Mi."

"You agreed?"

"Of course, after all, they paid a huge price."

"What?" Liu Shishi became alert instantly.

In just a few seconds, countless scenes and postures appeared in her mind.

Could it be that Yang Mi also plans to teach Zhou Mo?
The moment Zhou Mo saw Liu Shishi's expression, he knew what she was thinking and said with a smile, "It's just a cooperation plan for a web drama. You think too much. Yang Mi and I haven't seen each other for several years. Even if we meet, it's just to reminisce about the past."

Liu Shishi said in a gloomy tone: "That's hard to say, who knows if you will be tempted by her beauty."

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Shi Shi, you underestimate me too much. Did I do anything excessive when I first met you?"

"You didn't do anything excessive to me at the beginning." Liu Shishi said, "But facing Yang Mi, it's not certain."

"How to say?"

Liu Shishi drew an arc in front of her.

"Don't you men like big ones?"

Zhou Mo corrected him: "You can't say that. After all, human XP is free. You can always find some special examples."

Liu Shishi easily saw through Zhou Mo's rhetoric and asked, "What about you? I don't believe that when you saw Yang Mi's thing, you could keep your eyes straight and have no reaction."

"Shi Shi, everyone loves beauty. Sometimes my reaction is just to appreciate the beauty."

"Bah, you just covet those two pieces of fat. I don't know why men like them. They are useless and cumbersome."

Zhou Mo coughed lightly and said, "Shi Shi, you don't understand this. According to the basic rules of physics, the greater the mass of an object, the greater the gravitational force it exerts on the surrounding objects."

Liu Shishi: …

……

December.

Zhou Mo finished all matters concerning "Qi Family Knife".

All the actors have been contacted.

Huo Jianhua and Tang Yan both have filming contracts currently and cannot leave the crew, so they expressed their gratitude to Zhou Mo on the phone and said that they would come to visit Yanjing as soon as they finish filming.

Zhou Mo has no objection.

Yang Mi did come and invited Zhou Mo to dinner, in order to thank Zhou Mo for helping her to connect with Chen Hong, which helped to ease the relationship between the two.

At the dinner table, Zhou Mo briefly told Yang Mi that when filming "Qi Family Blade" in the future, the main publicity direction of the three women would be to quarrel with each other.

As for the roles.

It just so happens that there is still some story line to be explored around Lu Zhao.

This official, who was in the court of Chongzhen but had transactions with the "Phoenix Guard", naturally needed a liaison to establish contact with the "Phoenix Guard".

At that time, let Yang Mi take on this role.

Maybe if the performance is good, a sequel can be developed.

After hearing this, Yang Mi's eyes lit up and she shouted loudly, "I want it, I want it."

She really liked this plot. She originally thought that she was just a supporting role this time, but she didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to compete with Liu Shishi.

It was exactly what she wanted.

Yang Mi decided that she must give 200% of her effort to play the role well with all her heart.

Overwhelmed the two little fairies Liu Shishi and Tang Yan.

Zhou Mo felt a little emotional when he saw this.

Although these young actresses in "Chinese Paladin III" still have a lot of room for improvement in their acting skills, they are still acceptable when faced with roles with minor flaws, such as bad women and pink-on-black.

On the contrary, Liu Yifei, who developed several levels earlier than these others, was less accepting of this kind of role.

Zhou Mo expressed deep regret about this.

He also had a sudden idea. Seeing that the crew of "Qi Family Blade" had already gathered the trio of Tang Dynasty poetry, he thought that it would be better to add Liu Yifei to form a small team of Tang Dynasty poets.

If it were really possible to let these four people fight on the big screen, Zhou Mo would rather not even shoot "Chu and Han", and make a special movie for these four people, letting the four people fight for the entire movie.

As for the name, it is called "A Loving Family".

Unfortunately, this idea was killed by Zhou Mo himself just two days after it came up.

Because he knew that this plan was simply impossible to implement at the moment.

Not to mention whether Liu Yifei herself can play such a role.

Just the hurdle of having to deal with her mother is something she can’t get over.

Fortunately, Zhou Mo was not in a hurry. He had seen how magical the future film and television industry would be.

Countless movie stars have come down to earth to shoot low-budget films, or even web dramas.

Big directors have also started making TV series and even variety shows.

Including Liu Yifei, who not only filmed "Dream of Red Mansions", but also filmed a web drama.

It’s a pity that this web drama encountered a self-destructing tank.

It failed to be successfully released.

At that time, if we put forward a few 85 flowers to make a mahjong table, it would probably be much easier.

Zhou Mo was determined to make this plan come true.

He often lamented that the entertainment industry today is too calm.

The new generation of young actresses are too timid.

This is not okay.

It's the end of December.

The promotion of "John Wick" has entered its final stage.

Earlier at the beginning of the month, Zhou Mo released several promotional trailers of movie clips on his website.

The duration is basically controlled at around thirty-five seconds.

The name is "Suit Thugs".

The content is mostly the scenes where Zhang Jin shoots and kills the Koushan group in the movie.

Neat.

Flowing clouds and flowing water.

All in one go.

The fans who had been eagerly waiting for the movie were so excited that they exclaimed, "I have never seen such a refreshing battle!"

I can't wait for the movie to be released right away.

As most of the available materials had been used up, last week Zhou Mo decisively turned his guns around and began promoting his fateful showdown with Du Qifeng.

Many other media were like sharks attracted by the smell of blood. Seeing that Zhou Mo, the person involved, had been punished, they followed suit. Within a few days, the heat of the head-to-head competition between "Overheard" and "John Wick" was once again raised to the sky.

Zhou Mo even saw that some websites that were running shady businesses had odds on the competition between the two movies.

The key point is that there are people who really throw money into the market.

All I can say is that there are all kinds of people.

Seeing that the online attention on the PK between the two was growing, gradually overshadowing the discussion among fans about the content of the movie, Du Qifeng had to step forward and respond.

When asked by the media, he immediately replied: "'Overheard' is a work that I have worked so hard on. It is definitely not something that can be copied by some idiot."

When the media heard this, they immediately became excited.

"So, Director Du is very confident about the film's performance."

This guy was really determined and said on the spot: "That's right! I believe that with the efforts of our entire crew, this movie will definitely achieve great results."

After saying this, Zhou Mo ate two large bowls of rice that night.

This confrontation is completely stable.

　The fourth update.

　　I'm going to bed.

　　If I have the chance tonight, I will write one more chapter.
