Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 596: You mean Duo Shao?

ps: I have a high fever, why don’t the injections work?

Guo Jingfei said hesitantly: "I think I can understand some of the situations described in the movie."

"Talk about it."

Guo Jingfei said: "Children nowadays are really hard-working, especially those in those places. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to do that."

Zhou Mo was a little surprised.

Wow, we haven’t seen each other for more than two months, and you’ve changed so much.

"what happens?"

Guo Jingfei let out a long breath, and under the gazes of others, he slowly said, "Just a few days ago, a relative's child just finished his exam.

It just so happened that our movie was being promoted here, so I took the time to go and meet him. To be honest, I almost didn't recognize him at first sight, he had changed so much.

The young man who was so sunny and bright a few years ago, seemed like a completely different person when I saw him again. He had no energy at all and looked lifeless.

My heart suddenly shrank..."

Although he didn't finish his words, Li Guangjie and Zhou Mo understood the meaning of this sentence instantly.

Li Guangjie asked: "Are you a relative from here?"

Guo Jingfei nodded: "Yes, this side."

Li Guangjie said "hmm".

"That's not surprising, my relatives' children are similar."

The first stop of "Students" was not a roadshow in Yanjing like the usual Shanhe Company films, but the hometown of Su Ming, the character in the play, was chosen as the first stop for the film promotion.

Zhou Mo asked: "How is your relative's child these days? Do you know?"

"After a week of rest, he said he felt much better."

"That's fine."

Lei Jiayin finally had the chance to interrupt: "Does he know about our movie?"

Guo Jingfei: "I know, and he also said that he would watch our movie in the next few days. He said that he started thinking about it before the exam."

Lei Jiayin shouted, "That's great, do you want us to get him a few autographs or something? I have several here."

Guo Jingfei looked at him with disdain.

"What's the use of your autograph? I have so many that I can fold them into airplanes. If I really want to give one, I'd give it to Director Zhou. Director Zhou is my relative's number one idol now."

Zhou Mo suddenly laughed: "Why do you treat me as an idol?"

Guo Jingfei explained: "Of course it was because of "The Students". That guy's idea was similar to Guangjie's. They were both very grateful to Director Zhou for making a movie that was more realistic for them, without bloody love, abortion, or any messy ten-year agreement.

Some just have hair oil, practice questions, memorize books, and have nightmares.

So, in the past, he never liked watching those so-called campus romance movies, until "The Students", he said that this is the real them. "

Guo Jingfei definitely couldn't memorize such a long paragraph.

Halfway through his conversation, he simply took out his cell phone and sent the chat messages he was having with his relatives to other people.

Zhou Mo thought about it and said directly: "Brother Fei, please ask me if I can intercept this message and send it out later."

Guo Jingfei immediately understood Zhou Mo's thoughts.

"Okay, let me ask."

After saying that, he immediately contacted the other end.

The other side responded quickly as well, with a reply coming in within a short while.

"Director Zhou, no problem. Also, my relative would like to have your autograph first, is that okay?"

"Of course. I'll also get you a few sets of souvenirs specially prepared by the company, and you can give them to people when the time comes."

"Then I would like to thank Director Zhou in advance on his behalf."

That night.

A new winter message was posted on Zhou Mo’s personal account.

The content was exactly the same as the one in Guo Jingfei’s mobile phone.

As soon as this post was published, it immediately received a large number of reposts and likes.

"Look who's the champion of staying up late? That's right, it's me, your dad, Mouse (Copyright Protection Company Edition)!"

"I told you long ago that fans who stay up late will have news to watch. Sure enough, look who I caught today."

"Ah, Director Zhou Mo, I want you to give birth to a baby for me!"

The first few posts are always Zhou Mo’s abstract fans.

The whole life level is first-class.

But after this group of people, more and more comments related to the movie began to appear.

"This sentence really speaks for myself. There aren't so many shitty things in our student life. It's exhausting enough to finish the homework."

"Yeah, yeah. Abortion, smoking, drinking, fighting? In my house, if I dare to do any of these, my dad will break my legs."

"You still have the mood to think about smoking and drinking? I don't even have a cell phone, okay? To be honest, the child hasn't watched TV for three years, and only turned on the computer for the first time after the exam."

"As for me, the luxurious campus life I had in the past is only available to the guys in first-tier cities. We goblins can just watch."

"Damn it, high school students in first-tier cities like us don't have such a life, okay? We also need to do a lot of homework every day, okay?"

"Oh my god, it's really Master X, Master X, good luck!"

As the number of comment sections increases, the level of confusion in their content is also gradually increasing.

From the initial discussion about the movie, topics with very high traffic and controversy gradually emerged, such as "campus life", "the debate between arts and sciences", "career guidance", and "regional differences".

These contents were exactly what Zhou Mo had portrayed in the movie. To be honest, he was actually happy to see these scenes.

The reason is simple. The more people discuss this matter now, the more traffic it will bring to the movie.

To exaggerate a little, if today's development can trigger a new round of heated discussions online, even if only a small number of people become interested in "The Students" and watch the movie, the box office of the movie will increase significantly.

Of course, Zhou Mo himself would not really take the initiative to lead the trend of this topic.

That's something only an idiot would do.

The media and self-media have been eager to participate in this topic, and they will naturally do their best to make this topic a hot search on major platforms.

As for Zhou Mo himself, the purpose of publicity has been achieved. What remains is to remain isolated and directly log out of the account for a period of time.

Zhou Mo sent another message to the company's employees, reminding them to pay attention to public opinion tonight and deal with any problems in a timely manner.

The time came early the next morning.

The first thing Zhou Mo did when he opened his phone was to see what netizens were discussing last night.

Most of the topics were not discussed, but there was one topic on which the vast majority of netizens reached a consensus.

It is:

"There really aren't that many messy things in high school life. The vast majority of people, no matter where they are or what their grades are, just persevere in ordinary and boring lives."

Many netizens expressed their dissatisfaction with some past campus youth works under this comment.

"I have never carved anything on a tree, because if I dared to carve it today, all the students in the school would know about it tomorrow, and my parents would know about it the day after tomorrow, and I might even be punished later."

"Smoking, drinking, and fighting? Staying in school for six and a half days out of seven. Tell me how you can do all this?"

"Abortion? From childhood to adulthood, I have never even touched a girl's hand, 555555..."

"It doesn't matter upstairs, you still have your right hand."

Just when Zhou Mo was immersed in the comments of netizens, the company called and reported some data of "Students".

Including but not limited to traffic, search volume, popularity and other values.

Zhou Mo asked: "What is the evaluation of our movie?"

“Generally positive.”

"Oh? There is no polarization. Do you think we are deliberately favoring one side?"

"Yes, but very few. The vast majority of reviews feel that although our film is not comprehensive, it does portray some real situations, so they are still willing to give it a good review."

"very good."

Zhou Mo nodded. Since the word of mouth on the first day was like this, the follow-up shouldn’t be too bad.

“Please keep an eye on the subsequent publicity. There is no need to do particularly good word-of-mouth publicity. Try to promote it in an objective way.

Our film is not intended to be a warning to the world, but to capture some situations and share them with the audience, always keeping this in mind.”

"Got it, boss, don't worry!"

Hang up.

The time has come to noon.

Zhou Mo ate alone.

Before I had time to return to the room, I met the leading actors who had just returned from outside.

Several people came up to Zhou Mo with eager eyes.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Mo was frightened by their looks.

"Director Zhou, are the first day's data out?"

Lei Jiayin asked first, more anxious than Guo Jingfei and Li Guangjie.

"I don't know, how did you know?" Zhou Mo was stunned.

I felt my trouser pocket and realized I didn't have my cell phone with me to contact the company.

Bai Ke raised his hand and said obediently, "Our agent learned about it from an employee of our crew. That employee heard from someone at Shanhe headquarters that today's data has been compiled."

Zhou Mo: ...

Such an informed source of information.

He suddenly had the same feeling as when he was in high school, when other classes heard the news of the holiday, they started clapping their tables and cheering, while his class was still thinking, "Ah, what happened? What are you talking about?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Mo had an idea.

Today's incident can also be used as a small promotional material.

Go back and write it and post it online.

He brought everyone back to the room, took out the room card and entered.

Zhou Mo found the cell phone he had left in the room, and sure enough, there were several calls on it.

Call back.

connected.

"Director Zhou, our first day's box office data is out." The voice on the other end of the phone was quite excited.

Zhou Mo turned around to look at the leading actors who were looking expectant, and asked into the microphone.

"Seize the young master?"

"Two billion."

"How much?!" Zhou Mo was stunned and asked again.
