Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 628: There are information cocoons and filters all over the world
Lao Mouzi agreed to Zhou Mo's request.

After the work on "Even Far Away" is finished and he takes a short rest, he will go to America to shoot "Assault on Arkham".

In its previous life, although the box office of "Suicide Squad" was far from Warner's expectations, it still won an Oscar for Best Costume.

Zhou Mo thought about it and decided to go back and hand over the storyboard pages of "Assault on Arkham" directly to Zhang Yimou. He didn't believe that he couldn't win an award for visual effects.

Time quickly came to the end of January.

The final box office results of "Even If We Are Far Away" are out.

18 million.

Although it didn't break the 20 billion mark like "The Great Wall", Zhang Yimou and Cheng Long were already very satisfied with it.

"I never thought about 20 billion. I'm satisfied just being able to make a movie." Cheng Long was polite.

"Today's results are the result of my cooperation with Director Zhou. I would not be able to get such a high box office on my own." Zhang Yimou was also being polite.

Seeing this, Zhou Mo stopped talking nonsense.

Raise your glass immediately.

"Then I wish our future cooperation will be smoother and our results will be better."

"cheers!"

……

Early the next morning.

Zhou Mo woke up from his sleep.

He pulled his numb arm out from under the little head and shook it.

Wash up.

Go out to buy breakfast.

When I came back from outside, Da Tiantian had already gotten up and was sitting on a chair putting on makeup.

"Why are you putting on makeup so early? Are you going out?"

"Yes, I have to promote the movie."

Movie promotion?

Zhou Mo was stunned.

"What movie promotion? How come I don't know about it?"

Da Tiantian glanced at him.

"Did someone forget that the company has another movie coming out next month, and it's a super movie with a box office target of 4 billion.

Now, someone wants to go to America to enjoy a good life, so I have to go with him, right? There is nothing I can do about it."

Zhou Mo looked at the time and it was true.

In about half a month, "The Mermaid" will be released.

Stephen Chow has been working on this movie for many years since "Journey to the West". Coupled with his collaboration with Shanhe Company, "The Mermaid" can basically be said to be the most watched movie in the entire entertainment industry.

Both professionals in the industry and audiences outside the industry are looking forward to seeing how popular this movie, which carries the titles of "Stephen Chow's Return to the Arena" and "Zhou Mo's Strong Support", will be.

Zhou Mo walked behind Da Tiantian and massaged her shoulders attentively.

"I've made Princess Sweet suffer so much, I deserve to die..."

Generally speaking, the publicity for the filming of "The Mermaid" should be handled by director Zhou Xingxing, and he should be the one running around and accepting interviews.

But since Zhou Xingxing has undergone maintenance and looks many years younger, Zhou Mo and Zhou Xingxing discussed it and agreed that Zhou Xingxing should reduce his appearances as much as possible nowadays.

Avoid any possibility of being captured by the camera.

The purpose is to let the changes in Stephen Chow's appearance bring the ultimate shock to the audience when "The Mermaid" is released.

The same operation was used by a director in the previous life.

Director Jia.

After filming the movie, he concealed his condition for a whole year. From time to time, the crew would release some smoke bombs related to the director to confuse public opinion.

In the end, no matter how good the movie itself is, the director did shock the audience when he first appeared on the screen.

Da Tiantian finished putting on her makeup, stood up and walked to the dining table.

"Okay, stop pinching me. Every time you pinch my shoulders, your hands are never honest. Go eat your meal."

After eating something, Da Tiantian spoke again.

"You don't have to worry about the promotion of The Mermaid, but you should be able to come back before the premiere. Our company has invested so much this time, so you will definitely have to come back to host the show."

"Don't worry about that. I will only be with America for ten days and will be back on time."

"Row."

The next day, Zhou Mo flew to America.

The crew of "Arkham Knight" had been looking forward to Zhou Mo's arrival.

Different people have different reasons for waiting. Ben is anxiously waiting for the movie to be released.

The box office success of last year's "Arkham: Part One" brought him back to the ranks of first-tier actors.

If this year's "Arkham: Part Two" can continue last year's good performance, he feels that he may have a chance to catch up with the industry status of Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Evans (Captain America), and Hemsworth (Thor).

Ryan Reynolds kept sharing with Zhou Mo the success of "Deadpool", in which he starred last year.

"With a global box office of 7.8 million, the world's most popular R-rated movie, I finally got my past glory!" Ryan deliberately spoke in a weird tone.

Zhou Mo had a mixed feeling of familiarity and weirdness when listening to what Ryan said.

"Have you... read our online article?"

Ryan's eyes widened.

"Hey? You actually found out?"

Zhou Mo nodded.

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

"Well, that accent is so classic."

Ryan stopped joking and said to Zhou Mo: "No matter what, I can star in "Deadpool" thanks to your guidance and help."

In his previous life, when Ryan was asked by Fox to play Deadpool, he was still in the recovery period.

In this life, Ryan, 15 years old, is already an actor who has won the Palme d'Or, and his net worth is completely different from his previous life.

Ryan thanked Zhou Mo, who pulled him out of the quagmire once and for all.

Not only that, Zhou Mo also recommended Ryan to Fox.

As for the relationship between Fox and Zhou Mo.

All I can say is that there isn't so much grudge between the company and the director.

A few years ago, when Zhou Mo won two awards in a row at Cannes, even taking home the Palme d'Or, the feud between him and Fox immediately disappeared.

Fox: There is no grudge there. Who would have grudges?

After seeing Zhou Mo's achievements, Fox changed its original attitude and even invited Zhou Mo to shoot Marvel's superhero movies.

Take Spider-Man, for example.

But Zhou Mo thought about it again and again and finally refused.

I would rather have a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

At Marvel, no matter how good his past achievements were, he still had to rank behind the chief director.

In DC, as long as Zack keeps fighting, he will be the chief director.

It is easy to tell which is more important.

After Ryan, Robbie and his group also came over.

They were asking about Assault on Arkham.

"Don't worry, everyone. After Arkham Knight, we can start the project of Raid. I have already contacted Zhang EMO over there. He will come over after he finishes his work in China."

The reason why "Assault on Arkham" is still being filmed in America is simple.

Whether it was Zack shooting "BVS" or Zhou Mo shooting "Arkham", there are enough scene materials left behind.

With a few minor modifications, it would be basically no problem to create an Arkham Asylum.

When Robbie heard Lao Mouzi's name, his eyes lit up.

"Is it Director Zhang who won the Golden Lion and Golden Bear?"

"Yes."

"That's great. I've watched this director's movies before. His shots are always very high-end, and his characters have a unique beauty that is simply unique..."

Halfway through his words, Robbie reacted and said to Zhou Mo apologetically: "Oh, Zhou, I'm not saying that your skills are not as good as Director Zhang's. You and he are both world-class directors, and you are younger..."

Zhou Mo smiled and waved his hands, indicating that he didn't take it to heart.

After Robbie returned, he explained the situation to the actors of "The Raid", and many of them looked surprised.

Obviously, these people have heard of the name of Lao Mouzi.

Foreign filters exist all over the world.

This is the case in China and in America as well.

Even though Brother Kaizi is often laughed at by audiences in China, he is still the winner of the Palme d'Or internationally.

The same goes for Lao Mouzi.

To date, his international achievements are still higher than Zhou Mo's.

Many American stars are the same. They are very controversial in their own country, but when they enter the foreign entertainment circle, their popularity with the audience immediately rises to more than one level.

To some extent, this is also a kind of information cocoon.
