Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 635: You have to choose the right time to win the prize

"Win-win means our company wins twice."

One night, Zhou Mo said this in his office.

Da Tiantian was looking at him sideways.

"That's enough. Just look at the recent online comments about 'owing movie tickets'. I guess whoever uses this promotional model in the future will not only fail to win the audience's love, but will instead arouse the audience's disgust and even greatly reduce the box office."

In less than a week, she witnessed how the entry "owe movie tickets" went from being popular at the beginning to being rampant and then to receiving a flood of negative reviews.

Too much similar information in a short period of time can indeed easily cause the audience to feel disgusted.

During this period, many movies jointly marketed the "owed movie tickets" operation, which undoubtedly maximized the audience's dissatisfaction with similar marketing methods.

When Zhou Mo heard what Da Tiantian said, he spread his hands.

"I call this shock therapy. It will drain the potential of this marketing method all at once, so that no one will be able to use this term again in the future."

Indulgences and the like only need to be sold once.

If there are too many, it’s called hooliganism.

Zhou Mo has made a lot for the healthy development of the domestic film market.

Da Tiantian glanced at Zhou Mo.

"Last time you said it was desensitization therapy, didn't you? How come it's become shock therapy this time? And you also said it's a treatment for the film market?"

"That's right. If one day the audience becomes desensitized to movies, won't the film market be in shock soon?" Zhou Mo explained.

Da Tiantian: ...

"Besides, I haven't used my ultimate method yet." Zhou Mo added.

"Oh? What's your ultimate method?"

"Let Stephen Chow post another update to persuade the audience to watch what they want to watch, what they like to watch, and just follow their own hearts."

Da Tiantian took a breath of cold air instantly.

This method is too cruel.

One moment you start eating, you're about to smash the pot.

Don't be hated to death.

"It's a pity that Zhou Xingxing didn't agree." Zhou Mo felt a little regretful.

Da Tiantian narrowed her eyes slightly: "Then why don't you do the promotion?"

"I'm not a fool. There's no point in offending people and doing something that won't bring much benefit."

"Then why do you let Zhou Xingxing do it?" Da Tiantian's voice became louder.

"So he didn't do it." Zhou Mo's voice became louder.

Da Tiantian: ...

Ok.

She paused for a few seconds and changed the subject.

"Then from now on, do we not have to follow the roadshow?"

"Yes, the two of us have been busy enough. We can't just do all the work and leave the rest to Zhou Xingxing and the others."

"So what are your plans next?"

"Arkham Knight is about to be taken off the screen, so I have to finish things first, and then Nominal is about to be aired, which is the main thing."

"Will you need my help then?"

Zhou Mo thought about it for a moment and shook his head.

"I don't think so. Your new play is going to be released in a few days, right? You can just stay at home and focus on your new play."

"Victory is Justice 3" is about to start filming in the first half of this year.

The filming of the third part has been delayed until now, partly because Da Tiantian was always busy before and really didn't have the free time.

Another reason is to wait for a chance to win a prize.

Of course, Zhou Mo’s collaboration with Ren Zhonglun has continued in recent years, and he basically provides at least one good drama to Tomato TV every year.

The year before last, it was "Red".

Last year, it was "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky".

Ren Zhonglun will also provide Zhou Mo with some resources accordingly.

For example, magnolia.

This is the case with this year's "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky". Zhang Yi and Yingtao, relying on "Chicken Feathers", are jointly striving for this year's Magnolia Awards.

The same is true for Victory 3.

Da Tiantian has been in the industry for many years, and under Zhou Mo's guidance, her acting skills have been improving.

In Zhou Mo's opinion, with Da Tiantian's current strength, although there is indeed some gap between her and those tested acting skills, the timing of 18 is really great.

Because the role that won the Magnolia Best Actress Award that year was the heroine played by Ma Yili in "My First Half of Life".

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

That’s right, it’s Tang Jing, who relied on everyone and her best friend, and finally got together with her best friend’s boyfriend, under the euphemism of taking the first step towards independence.

I can only say that if Ma Yili hadn’t played this kind of role, anyone else would have been criticized a long time ago.

Besides Ma Yili, other nominees include Sun Li for That Year’s Flowers Bloom, who won the Magnolia Award for Best Actress a few years ago and will not be taking home another award in the short term;

Hao Lei in "Love in the Courtyard" even had the TV series itself deconstructed by Zhou Mo, and it was sold for a lot of money.

In this case, it can be said that the opportunity is once lost and will never come back.

The next big award-winning year would probably be the Magnolia Awards four years from now.

Zhou Mo was not interested in waiting that long.

Finish filming the TV series as soon as possible and finish it as soon as possible.

When Da Tiantian heard Zhou Mo mention "Victory 3", she actually showed some hesitation.

"Zhou Mo, do you think I am qualified to challenge Magnolia?"

"What's the question of qualifications? Winning an award depends on your own efforts. It's not like you're directly given an internal nomination. If you really perform poorly in the drama, you really won't be able to compete for the Magnolia Award," Zhou Mo reminded.

He will create opportunities for Da Tiantian, but will not force it.

Opportunities refer to a big year for awards, good works, and so on.

Compared with the previous two films, the heroine in "Victory 3" has been greatly improved.

In this part, the heroine breaks away from the guidance of the hero and competes with him on the same stage.

This change is very good both in terms of character creation and audience appeal.

It is also very suitable for Da Tiantian to play.

But if Da Tiantian didn't seize the opportunity, he wouldn't force her to do so.

Da Tiantian is still a little unconfident.

"The main reason is that I feel like I'm still a little behind those award-winning actresses in the past, like Sun Lijie."

Zhou Mo teased: "Just a little bit?"

"Well, there is some distance." Da Tiantian told the truth.

She knows her level and has an objective evaluation of herself.

“What counts in winning prizes is not the hexagon, but the character you show in the process. Your overall level is indeed weaker than Sun Li’s, but this does not mean that your female character is necessarily inferior to hers.

The role in "Victory 3" is tailor-made for you, so that you can give full play to your acting skills. Just perform well when the time comes, and don't feel any burden.

If it really doesn’t work, we can just wait a few more years and take it slow.”

After hearing this, Da Tiantian finally felt relieved.

She was not afraid of being criticized for her poor acting, but she was worried that she would let down everything Zhou Mo had arranged for her because she did not perform well.
