Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 625: Even if Far Away, We Must Punish You
Late December.

Zhou Mo returned to Beijing from the "Warcraft" crew.

"I thought you wouldn't be coming back." In the company, Da Tiantian was having lunch.

"How could that be? I've already promised you."

"I saw that you were too busy recently. You came back for Brother Xiaoming's matter, and it took you several days to meet with Ma Yilong. I thought the filming would be postponed."

"That's the benefit of having a guarantee for actors."

There is no need to say much about those actors in "Warcraft" who have good acting skills and are guaranteed to be successful.

Murphy, Uncle Ba, De Niro, these people can basically get their acting done in one take, without having to put in any extra effort at all.

The most important thing about Amber's Gianna is that she is beautiful, and she can be photographed in any way that makes her look beautiful.

Alsace, who has the most scenes and the most complex emotions, does pose some difficulties for Henry.

But there's nothing we can do about it, Henry's appearance is just too good.

Just his face, when he smiles, gives people a feeling of being both good and evil.

What's more, this guy really loves Warcraft and works like a workaholic when filming.

If one time doesn’t work, try twice.

If both sides don’t work, try ten times.

With his focused attitude and Zhou Mo following him in taking pictures, his efficiency naturally improved.

"Thank you, Lao Zha, for helping me find such an excellent actor!" Zhou Mo said sincerely.

Da Tiantian rolled her eyes at him.

"You just say sarcastic things. If Zach hears you say this, he will be very angry."

"I'm not saying anything sarcastic. In fact, Zachary shouldn't have any problem with me. Although I replaced him, I didn't overthrow the person he had chosen before. This is a recognition and affirmation of his professional ability.

He has to thank me.”

Da Tiantian: "You are truly invincible if you can tell the dead from the living."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"..."

Zhou Mo changed the subject.

"By the way, there should be an interview for "Even if Far Away, We Must Punish" tomorrow. Do you need me to go with you then?"

When it comes to business, Da Tiantian put down the chopsticks in her hand.

"I don't think so. Director Zhang and Brother Long are enough. But if you want to go, they should be happy to go."

"Forget it then. I'll just go directly to the premiere." Zhou Mo heard that there was no need for those three words, so he chose to start smoothly.

The next few days.

Zhou Mo stayed in the company and continued writing the script.

Until the end of the month.

Premiere of "Even if Far Away, We Must Punish".

Zhou Mo started working early in the morning.

When many guests heard that Zhou Mo was also coming, they immediately came over to chat.

Either asking about the situation or recommending yourself.

"Director Zhou, I heard that our company is planning to launch a Three Kingdoms project, and it's going to be three movies about Wei, Shu, and Wu? I don't know how many have been confirmed so far/is there any chance/do you think I can do it/xx of our company..."

Zhou Mo was not surprised by the endless stream of people coming to ask about the role.

A year has passed since he first proposed the "Three Kingdoms Plan".

One year is enough time for the news to spread throughout the entertainment industry.

However, Zhou Mo did not discuss this matter with them in detail.

It's still too early.

He hasn't even decided on the project of the great mage Liu Xiu vs. the time traveler Wang Mang, so the Three Kingdoms will have to be postponed for at least another year.

If we decide on the characters now, what if the actors fail later on?
For example, Wu Xiubo.

For example, Li Xiaolu.

Both of them are very popular actors in recent years.

There is no need to talk about Wu Xiubo, he has a lot of fans, is popular with the audience, his acting skills are more than enough, and he has no shortage of classic works.

Then it was time.

Li Xiaolu is similar. He has outstanding talent and no shortage of resources. He has everything he wants.

Then, it was time.

Therefore, Zhou Mo gave a unified reply directly.

"I'll consider it. You can contact the company first and I'll take a look later."

Seeing that someone wanted to continue asking, he directly changed the target: "I have discussed this with Director Zhang, you can communicate with Director Zhang later..."

After a while.

Enter the cinema.

on the seat.

Da Tiantian poked Zhou Mo's arm.

"I received multiple phone calls from the backcourt, asking if we should postpone the game."

Zhou Mo smiled awkwardly.

"Everyone is so enthusiastic. It's really hard to deal with. It's beyond my expectations, beyond my expectations."

Da Tiantian complained: "Because it's hard to deal with, you just throw it to Director Zhang to deal with? You should behave like a human being, Director Zhang has to go on stage soon."

In the distance, a group of people were surrounding Lao Mouzi, all of whom were asking for news.

Zhou Mo waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, Director Zhang is experienced and much better than ordinary people like us. He will definitely be able to handle those long-winded things easily."

"What about Brother Long?"

Da Tiantian pointed to the other side, and there were a bunch of people around Cheng Long. "It's the same with Brother Long." Zhou Mo's tone was full of admiration.

Da Tiantian held her forehead with her hands, she was really impressed by this old man.

After a while, the movie finally started.

black screen.

Dragon mark.

The first character to appear was, unsurprisingly, Zhao Shan, played by Da Tiantian.

Zhou Mo looked at Da Tiantian on the screen and was very satisfied.

Whether in terms of color or posture, these few seconds of footage are incredibly beautiful.

Da Tiantian poked Zhou Mo gently again.

"What do you think of my look in this piece?"

"Very good, very beautiful. Lao Mouzi's skills are still good." Zhou Mo told the truth.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

You can always trust Zhang Yimou when it comes to visual effects.

When Da Tiantian heard Zhou Mo's praise, she raised the corners of her mouth happily.

"Yeah, I think so too. When we were shooting this scene, Director Zhang asked me to shoot it many times."

"You get what you sow. Thank you for your hard work."

"Uh-huh."

Back to the movie, the opening of "Even if He Is Far Away, He Must Be Punished" does not go directly to the era of Emperor Yuan of Han, but continues from the end of "The Great Wall" and still stays in the era of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che.

Xu Fu, played by Chen Kun, tries to lure Liu Che with the secret of immortality, hoping that Liu Che will appoint him as the imperial teacher and use the power of the court to counter Zhao Shan.

But Liu Che was still in his middle age at that time. He was ambitious and overbearing. How could he casually appoint an alchemist as the imperial teacher?

What's more, at this time he had already met Zhao Shan, learned about the disputes between alchemists and mortals, and learned about the influence of alchemists on the emperors of the world.

Zhao Shan also told Liu Che that he could engrave his name on Mount Tai through the Fengshan ceremony, so that his fame would be passed down forever.

Before this, only the First Emperor had accomplished this.

If Liu Che did it, he would be the second emperor in history to accomplish this.

The First Emperor had always been the object of Liu Che's pursuit. It was undoubtedly a great honor for Liu Che to be the second person after the First Emperor to perform the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai.

So, Liu Che drove Xu Fu away and chose to go to Mount Tai to perform the Fengshan ceremony.

But this does not mean that Xu Fu had no influence on Liu Che.

Xu Fu told Liu Che that he could certainly do what the First Emperor had done, but it had to be more grand, more complicated, more tedious, and more ostentatious than what he had done.

Otherwise, how can you show your achievements?
During your reign, Liu Che, you achieved the historical achievements of pursuing the enemy and conquering the north, and conquering the Wolf's Lair, which even Ying Zheng could not do.

Now, since you are going to Mount Tai to expound your achievements, you should naturally handle this matter more solemnly. Otherwise, how can you show that you have surpassed Ying Zheng in achievements?

In simple language, it means:
If you want to be the boss, of course you have to show off.

These words moved Liu Che.

Historically, Liu Che was not only a man of great talent and strategy, but he was also quite talented in extravagance.

During the reign of Emperor Wu, the economic collapse of the imperial court was not only caused by foreign wars, but also by Emperor Wu's own extravagant spending on palaces.

Especially in the event of Fengshan at Mount Tai, the money spent was no less than that of a foreign war.

This point is well expressed in "Chasing the Dead in the North".

For this scene, Zhang Yimou exerted his abilities to the utmost.

By using a bunch of antique props and with the help of special effects, an extremely luxurious feeling was created.

If the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai in "The Great Wall" is solemn and murderous.

The Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai in "Chasing the Dead in the North" was extremely luxurious.

When Liu Che completed the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, Zhao Shan was surprised to find that the intensity of "Immortals and Mortals Are Forever Separated" did not increase with the second Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, but weakened instead.

The camera turns and Xu Fu reveals the secret.

"Immortals are forever separated" essentially relies on the recognition and willpower of "mortals" to fight against "immortals".

The reason why Fengshan at Mount Tai can strengthen the seal is that it better gathers the wishes of "mortals" together and deepens the mortals' recognition of "immortals and mortals are forever separated."

The stronger the recognition, the stronger the effect of the seal.

However, Emperor Liu Che's Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai cost a lot and was extremely wasteful.

The people and even some officials did not agree with this and instead complained about it.

In this way, the effect of the Fengshan Ceremony at Mount Tai was naturally weakened.

“The Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai is actually very easy to solve.

No matter how powerful something is, it cannot withstand the power of a loud mouth that can melt gold.

What's more, there is no need to slander Liu Che's actions.

Ying Zheng was able to care about the world, but the rest may not be so sure."

somewhere.

Xu Fu was imparting his experience of cultivation to Jiang Chong.

Jiang Chong, a favorite of Emperor Wu of Han, was the creator of the Witchcraft and Poisoning Incident in history. He successfully instigated the rebellion of Emperor Wu's Crown Prince Liu Ju, which eventually led to his suicide by hanging himself.

There is no doubt that the overall tone of the first half of "Even if the Enemy Is Far Away" is somewhat depressing.

Although in "The Great Wall", Zhao Shan and Huo Qubing together achieved the goal of Fenglangjuxu, killing a bunch of alchemists and forcing them to flee in fear, with heavy casualties.

But the alchemist is not an NPC after all.

He would not stand there and let Zhao Shan kill him.

They will try every possible means to hinder Zhao Shan's actions and destroy the seal of "immortals and mortals are separated forever".

The battle between Zhao Shan and the "immortal" will ultimately be a tug-of-war that will last for a very long time.

Then, the camera turned and time came to the era of Emperor Yuan of Han.

The perspective of the story shifted from Zhao Shan to Chen Tang.
