Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 565 Hu Ge: Didn't expect it, it's me again

Zhou Mo asked the person who called them to make a table and send it over.

Half an hour later, there were a lot more names in Zhou Mo's phone.

Da Tiantian took a quick look and exclaimed.

"Wow, there are quite a few first-line stars, and some of them are veterans."

Zhou Mo nodded, probably because this was the reason why Da Mimi and the others called him.

With their current level, they can basically reject requests from most stars in the entertainment industry. Even some younger directors and crews will discuss any needs with them.

The only ones who forced them to ask in the group were these seniors.

"How about inviting these old seniors or these big names?" asked Da Tiantian.

Zhou Mo just shook his head.

"Need not."

Da Tiantian raised her eyebrows and said, "So decisive? Don't you want to give those seniors some face?"

Zhou Mo laughed endlessly.

"Senior? These people are just old, what kind of seniors are they? Seniors are the ones who are respected in the circle, not just anyone."

After speaking to Da Tiantian, he replied directly in the group:

"Just turn it down directly. The company will decide on the guests for the subsequent shows. You have no say in this."

After the message was sent, five people including Wang Zijian seemed to be relieved, and in the blink of an eye, five "received" messages were sent in the group.

Da Tiantian looked at the reaction speed of the group members and chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.

"It's really difficult for them, especially the little prince."

Zhou Mo spread his hands: "I have chosen my own master, so I have to accept him even if I cry. This is the rule of their industry. We can just watch the show and that's it."

Just now, in a list of names sent over, Hou Yaoye, Wang Zijian’s master from a few years ago, was also on the list.

This person was born into a prominent family and had a smooth career, with everything he wanted, but he ruined his own reputation.

Stealing property, random endorsements, and even incidents involving female apprentices.

This time he called Wang Zijian, probably because he saw that the show had become a phenomenon, so he was thinking of making money from it, and came over to ask a few questions based on his status.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Mo finished speaking, Wang Zijian called.

The young prince started by apologizing: "Director Zhou, I'm so sorry. I really didn't expect my master to call me. I'm sorry to trouble you to come out..."

Zhou Mo waited for him to finish, then spoke half comfortingly and half remindingly.

"It's okay, little prince. I know your situation. There are some things that you really can't handle. Just push them to the company.

You can just focus on hosting and recording the show. The company behind Behind the Scenes has spent a lot of resources and it is impossible for them to be affected by such a small matter. "

Hearing Zhou Mo's assurance, Wang Zijian's voice also became cheerful.

His biggest worry now is the relationships within his circle.

Now that Zhou Mo is willing to come forward directly on behalf of the company, everything will be easy.

"Don't worry, Director Zhou. I will postpone all other things this year and just do a good job on Behind the Scenes!"

After Wang Zijian hung up, several other people called one after another.

The situation is basically the same.

There are also all kinds of people who are difficult to handle things.

Zhang Kaili, Haiqing, Huang Sanshi...

You know everything.

Zhou Mo also said the same thing.

“If there are any subsequent questions, they can come to me directly.”

It can be said that everyone can be completely relieved.

After I finished making all the calls, almost another half an hour had passed.

Da Tiantian watched Zhou Mo's performance from the side, clicking her tongue non-stop.

"My great Director Zhou is so brave. His response is so straightforward. I am really moved."

Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "It's probably difficult to make people fall in love with you, but it's probably easier to make people complain. I guess by tomorrow, the news that Zhou Mo doesn't respect his seniors will spread around the circle again."

This time it was Da Tiantian's turn to be disdainful.

He sneered, with the corners of his mouth turned downward.

"No one will do anything that will get them killed, and no one will do business that will lose money. Just let those people talk. If they can't help everyone make money, how many people will agree with them? You still have the nerve to complain. Do you really think others are fools?"

Something is not right?
Zhou Mo immediately realized that something was wrong and asked, "Did something happen that I don't know about?"

Da Tiantian gently scratched her cheek with her index finger.

"It's not a big deal, actually. Someone just complained to me about our company and you. You are too biased and only care about protecting those with contracts. You don't give enough resources to good actors in the industry."

When Zhou Mo heard this, he didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

Did Zhou Mo release too few resources?

In the entire entertainment industry, at this stage, is there any company that can release resources for at least three works every year like him?

Do you still dare to say that he has released few resources?
You must be crazy about resources.

"Tiantian, is this person so brave? Don't you know what the relationship between us is? Why is he complaining about me in front of you?"

Da Tiantian said helplessly.

"No way, that's just the way she is."

Zhou Mo looked at Da Tiantian's expression and his heart moved.

"I know?"

"Yes, Haiqing."

"Oh, that's okay." Zhou Mo understood instantly.

This guy is really brave.

At the film festival, she dared to criticize a bunch of company bosses and directors in the audience, and said in front of many young actors, "Please pay attention to us middle-aged actresses. We are all very hardworking. We don't rely on rich men or our parents..."

It is hard to imagine that such awesome words were said by a mature actor in his forties who was once very popular in the TV drama circle.

Right.

But this guy did just that.

By the way, he also invited actors such as Yao Dazui, Liang Jing, and Xiao Songjia to support him.

Finally, Xiao Song's family had no choice but to say:
"This view only represents Hai Qing's personal position."

This shows how abstract Haiqing's speech is.

It is worth mentioning that when Hai Qing said this, she also added: "We will definitely be cheaper than Hu Ge."

(Hu Ge: Haha, you didn’t expect it, I’m the one being cueed again, and I haven’t even gone on stage yet!)

Thinking of this, Zhou Mo shook his head.

"It's not surprising if it's her. Including Hai, many people in her circle are like this, shouting that they have no movies to shoot, no one to guide them, how difficult it is for middle-aged actresses, and how few resources they have.

But the truth is that they have no movies to shoot?

They are not as famous as they were in the past, and they are unwilling to lower the price. They can neither carry the ratings nor the box office. The cost-effectiveness is so low. Why should we choose them?
Child stars encounter this kind of problem because they cannot keep up with the market and do not know how to lower their prices.

These people encounter this kind of problem because they are discriminated against and the market does not provide them with resources.

To put it bluntly, even if she learns from Yao Dazui, even if Yao Dazui is not good enough, at least he has contributed real money to the circle, discovered actors, and supported people in making movies.

What about her?

Hey……"

Da Tiantian comforted Zhou Mo.

"Calm down, it's nothing. When she said this to me, I refuted her. She won't be able to bother you anymore.

The development of the circle requires real money. People like her who can only take resources but cannot provide them will eventually fail one day. "

Zhou Mo looked at Da Tiantian with a little surprise.

"Okay, Tiantian, it seems that you have really changed recently. You would never say such things before. This is really beyond my imagination."

Da Tiantian was actually a little embarrassed when Zhou Mo praised her so bluntly.

"People change, especially since I started studying to be a director. I found that many things that I didn't understand clearly before suddenly became clear to me."

"Okay, very good." Zhou Mo was satisfied.

For some things, it is better to let people experience them personally once so that they will understand everything than to explain them a thousand times.

"Just for this, it's worth giving out a red envelope, Tiantian." Zhou Mo suggested.

Da Tiantian rolled her eyes at him.

"You just remembered it now. I had already sent out the red envelopes." Da Tiantian said.
