Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 595: Students Released
Da Tiantian thought for a moment and guessed a number.

"To be honest, I think with your content and background, the movie will probably break the previous record of more than 2 billion..."

Zhou Mo smiled, but this time he didn't choose to respond.

Breaking the record of more than 2 billion sounds like a lot, but in fact, Da Tiantian doesn’t know much about the domestic film and television market.

For a film like this in which zombies appear first and then the characters are bombarded, if he makes less than 4 billion, it would be considered a problem.

His goal is to at least surpass the performance of next year's "The Mermaid".

After completely revealing the plot, Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian chatted about the details of the movie for a while.

Ever since Da Tiantian became interested in the profession of director, such conversations between the two have become more frequent.

This kind of communication can not only exercise Da Tiantian's skills and abilities as a director, but also allow her to directly throw the characters to Da Tiantian after discussing things.

It's simply a win-win.

Zhou Mo won twice.

To Zhou Mo, everything was so natural.

Before Da Tiantian starts working as a director, he has to arrange things.

After Da Tiantian did the work of a director, he still had to arrange things.

Then wouldn’t Da Tiantian’s work as a director be in vain?

Actors, time, lineup, filming location...

As the two discussed, one item after another was discussed.

"By the way, since there is a plot about Xiao Rizi's side, is there any about the situation in Germany during World War II?" Da Tiantian asked.

What she was considering was that since they were filming World War II, the plot from that place would definitely be included.

We can't film this place as an isolated island, because if we do that, the logic of the movie will be lost.

“Of course not. In fact, according to my plan, there will be similar situations with Xiao Ri Zi and Xiao Hu Zi. The feeling of Zombie Xiao Hu Zi is actually quite exciting.

It’s just that so much can’t be crammed into one movie, so the European battlefield will probably be separated out and handed over to foreign directors to shoot.

Our company will be in charge of the control then."

Zhou Mo did not forget that another purpose of making a science fiction movie was to promote his own special effects company.

Once Zombie Life becomes successful, other investors will probably come knocking on the door soon.

At that time, Zhou Mo could naturally put forward further cooperation requests.

"Okay, now that we have finished talking about the content of the movie, the next step is the review..."

Da Tiantian paused halfway through her words.

There is actually no need to review this issue anymore.

Under normal censorship conditions, zombie movies would definitely not be allowed to be filmed.

But Zhou Mo, Shanhe Company, and Da Tiantian, none of these three people are ordinary people.

What's more, the background will be based on World War II, which review will stop it?
"Ok, these are the things you need to pay attention to. I'll leave it to you from now on, Tiantian." Zhou Mo sent the document with his notes to Da Tiantian.

Next, as long as he leaves these matters to Da Tiantian, he can be at ease and be a hands-off boss.

Da Tiantian snorted softly.

"You are relieved now, but I have to run around for you again."

Zhou Mo immediately said seriously: "Tiantian, don't be like this. In fact, I can also run around for you, as long as you want."

Da Tiantian is really impressed by Lao Liu who can drive anywhere and anytime.

"Pooh!"

He gave Zhou Mo a stern look and turned to go out to work.

Before closing the door, he said this.

"Remember what you said. You have to help me."

Zhou Mo: ...

Although you say no with your mouth, your body is very honest.

cut.……

Two days later.

It is officially the middle of June.

"The Students" will be released today.

Due to the special nature of the content of this movie, Zhou Mo didn't even arrange a premiere.

The reason is very simple. Although the entertainment industry itself has always deliberately stated that the entertainment industry is very ordinary and the people in it are ordinary people, etc.

But in fact, the reality is that the family conditions and backgrounds of most artists in the circle are not bad.

Faces that are often seen in movies and TV dramas can more or less be said to come from working class or even wealthy families.

Otherwise, they would not have been able to support their children to work in the entertainment industry in an economically underdeveloped era.

Apart from these people, the rest are of grassroots origin.

These people may have had average or even poor family conditions at the beginning.

But once they become famous, money rolls in and they make a fortune, and they are basically completely disconnected from the general public.

It is hard to imagine that such a group of people can really resonate with the movie.

If they really just wanted someone to come over to show their support and say a few nice words, there would be no need for that at all for Zhou Mo.

Anyway, Shanhe Company started the promotion of the film a month ago, which basically ensured that the film information appeared several times among the broadest target audience group.

The rest will be left to the market and the audience to judge.

then.

That afternoon.

Zhou Mo and several leading actors walked out of the cinema together.

The moment he left the cinema, Li Guangjie's eyes were a little red.

He looked around and saw that no one had discovered their identities. Then he looked at Zhou Mo and said something to him through Zhou Mo's eyes.

"Director Zhou, thank you for making this film. This is the first time in all these years that I've come across a serious film related to our group of people."

He consciously put emphasis on the word "we".

After hearing this, Zhou Mo waved his hand.

"For some things, there are actually many people who speak out about them. I just gathered their voices together and expressed them in a certain way."

Li Guangjie shook his head.

“No, Director Zhou, I know many people have known about this matter and have spoken out about it, but you are the first one who can express what we really care about, fear, and pain.

Others who can speak up don’t really understand us. Those who can understand us, even those who have the same manager as us, don’t have the opportunity to speak up at all.

Thank you anyway!"

Say it.

He bowed to Zhou Mo on the spot.

However, Zhou Mo did not openly accept this gratitude. He knew why Li Guangjie was in such a mood, but he also knew that he did not deserve such high praise.

Again, he just filmed some things and didn't really appeal for anything or do anything.

So, it is totally unacceptable.

On the other side, Lei Jiayin reminded:

"You two, let's get in the car first and talk later."

"Well, let's get in the car."

Zhou Mo patted Li Guangjie on the shoulder, and the two walked towards the RV together.

After getting in the car, Guo Jingfei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhou Mo, after watching the movie I suddenly had a new feeling."

"what?"
