Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 661 Director Bi takes action

After filming "Firefighter", Zhou Mo stayed with America for another three days.

During this period, Achuan contacted Zhou Mo again and again proposed that he shoot the short story "MacArthur drives a tank and a five-star general burns the coalition camp."

Zhou Mo knew that since the first half of this year, Achuan had frequently spoken out on the side of the Amei military, conducting audits and discussing military expenditures.

Every time there was a lot of noise, but in the end nothing was done.

This is what the legend says: "Much thunder, little rain."

Zhou Mo guessed that Achuan had tried many times without success and wanted to try his hand at movies.

But America is not a pickle.

That means that such a big breakthrough could be achieved with just one movie.

Therefore, Zhou Mo immediately used the method of changing the subject and brought the topic to "The Great Beauty Romance".

This drama has been re-filmed. According to the company's suggestions, it can have a spoof and structural style, leaning towards comedy.

There are actually quite a few film and television works similar to America.

Whether it's "The Simpsons," "Family Guy," or "Rick and Morty," there have been many jokes about American historical figures.

The Simpsons had a plot many years ago where Achuan became the president.

In "Family Guy", there was a plot where Pete and Chuan fought against each other.

In "Rick and Morty", Rick and the Black Commander fought in the White House and went straight to the basement, hinting at a lot of the history of the America Commander.

After listening to Zhou Mo's introduction, Achuan became quite interested.

"Oh, Invictus, you must tell me when it's airing in the future, and I will watch it as soon as possible."

After saying that, he also mentioned that some things could be filmed more.

For example, the negative information about Ao Guanhai.

"Oh, if the information you have is not enough, I can provide you with some additional privacy and secrets. I believe you will be surprised."

Achuan talked incessantly, and there seemed to be a light in his eyes.

It turns out that Achuan really hates Aohei.

……

Late September.

Zhou Mo returns to China.

Started promoting "Battlefield".

A month ago, "Battlefield" completed all the procedures and officially entered the stage of release promotion.

So, starting from September, some news about this movie began to circulate on the Internet.

"War science fiction, a new attempt by Shanhe Company."

"Zhou Mo's first historical war film."

The majority of the audience are looking forward to this movie, and only a small number of fans have some different concerns in their hearts.

What are you worried about?
Afraid that Zhou Mo will become a "skewers-eater".

Lu Chuan Taro's "Nanjing! Nanjing!" was also a war history movie, and it was about such an important event as Nanjing, but the film was based on the defense.

The audience has no idea whether "Battlefield" can be filmed well or what effect it can achieve.

Zhou Mo was in a good mood after reading the company's survey about the audience's expectations for "Battlefield".

Today, he has reached the point where the audience can vote with their feet.

Even if the movie is of a completely new category, without releasing too much information, it can still raise the audience's expectations for the movie.

However, just as Zhou Mo was "admiring himself", his assistant rushed in.

"Director Zhou, something terrible has happened."

"Ah...ah? What's wrong?" The assistant explained the situation. After listening to it, Zhou Mo felt quite amused and even a little annoyed.

What the assistant was talking about was actually the promotion of "Battlefield".

Although the overall expectations for Battlefield on the Internet are quite good, there are indeed some people who are cynical about the movie.

It’s actually nothing, every director has some haters or something like that.

Zhou Mo never cared about these things.

But, Zhou Mo doesn't care, but there are people who do.

A warrior, seeing more and more negative comments about "Battlefield" on the Internet, stood up on the spot and angrily denounced those who made such comments as those who did not understand the movie.

This person has a famous nickname.

Bi Dao.

Not the one from Huaqing University.

But the one who was the director.

Bi Dao, a mysterious unit with unknown combat effectiveness.

Before this year, Director Bi rarely appeared on the Chinese Internet, and his name was not very prominent in the small circle of directors.

It was not until September this year, when his masterpiece, "Pure Mind: Chasing Dreams in Show Business" was released, that Director Bi's name suddenly became one of the hottest words on the Chinese Internet.

This movie is just outrageous.

Before the film was released, domestic film associations, college teachers, senior critics, and award committees all spoke highly of the film.

Everyone knows what happened after the release.

The contrast of "Dream Building Entertainment Circle" made Director Bi's reputation complete a super bungee jump from heaven to hell.

The kind where you land face down on the ground.

Director Bi successfully broke the record of going from fame to reputation collapse in the entertainment industry.

Nowadays, after "Dreaming of Performing Arts" was released for about ten days, Director Bi's reputation has become like a rat crossing the street, the kind that all audiences feel disgusted when they see him.

Therefore, the impact that his actions of speaking out for "Battlefield" and angrily criticizing those netizens who attacked "Battlefield" had on "Battlefield" can be imagined.

Sure enough, the incident happened in less than half a day.

There are more and more comments about Bi Dao on the Internet.

"Damn, Battlefield was supported by Director Bi, is this movie still watchable?"

"No, why are these two people together? When did they know each other?"

"It should be "Entertainment Circle 2", the first short story, the chapter where Zhang Yibai gained fans. Didn't they say they couldn't hire anyone for the director role? In the end, the person they called in was Director Bi."

"That director is Director Bi? No, I felt his acting was OK at the time. Why is the real "Dream Chaser" filmed like this? It makes me sick."

"Who knows."

"The entertainment industry is really rotten. Zhou Mo always said he would not get involved in those messy things, but now he has been exposed."

"To be honest, Zhou Mo did not participate in the promotion of "Dreaming in the Entertainment Industry", so he should not be considered as birds of a feather."

"Only on the surface."

In just one day, the impact brought by Director Bi was even greater than Zhou Mo had imagined.

The company sent in data showing that after Director Bi released those updates, the number of pre-ordered tickets for “Battlefield” dropped significantly.

At the same time, Bi Daohai's brother Zhou Mo called.

"Director Zhou, don't worry. As a friend, you supported me in the past, and now I must support you. My voice is small, but I will call on my friends to help you. If we all speak out online together, we will definitely be able to deal with those villains who make random comments."

Zhou Mo: ...
