Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 666 I Want One Too

The next morning.

Zhou Mo woke up from his sleep and felt a little tired.

When people reach middle age, the burden of working all night is indeed heavy.

Fortunately, he had good physical fitness and managed to withstand the fatigue after the hard work.

Pull the arm out from under the little head.

Get dressed and wash up.

Open the door and get the food.

After I had tidied everything, I found Da Tiantian was still sleeping.

He lifted the quilt and patted Taozi twice.

"Lazy guy, hurry up and get up, the sun is shining on your butt."

"Let me sleep a little longer. I was too tired last night." Da Tiantian mumbled a few words and curled up in the quilt unconsciously.

Seeing this, Zhou Mo covered her with the quilt again.

This iron-headed kid really put in a lot of effort last night.

It's normal to feel tired.

Fortunately, the promotion of "Battlefield" did not require her to appear, and she came here just to show up as the head of Shanhe Company.

Zhou Mo simply ate his own breakfast, kept Da Tiantian's other portion warm, and left for the crew.

The crew will have a roadshow during the day today and many fans will come.

On the way, Zhou Mo casually flipped through the materials prepared by the crew, and explained some things to pay attention to in publicity to the crew members.

“Regarding battlefield-related content, the goal of Battlefield is to restore the real atmosphere as much as possible.

The content related to biochemical experiments is a reasonable adaptation of historical events after examining history. "

Zhou Mo knew that in the future, there would definitely be discussions related to the content of the movie in the comment section of "Battlefield".

Giving the crew members precautions in advance can save a lot of trouble.

……

in the afternoon.

Roadshow site.

As expected, the crew was asked these questions.

"In the early part of the movie, the Japanese army's combat capability is portrayed too much, charging recklessly on the battlefield."

“This is an issue involving many factors.

First of all, the Japanese army was indeed very strong at the beginning. For example, their Kwantung Army was famous in history, with high quality, strong ability and strong fighting will.

In addition, friends who have some knowledge of history should also know that in the early stages of the war, the Bald pursued a strategy of non-resistance, which created conditions for the Japanese army to advance rapidly.

Finally, there are the experiments in the movie, which can be regarded as a way to improve the combat effectiveness of the Japanese. "

This answer made many middle-aged audience members in the audience nod their heads.

Their ages are generally between 30 and 40 years old.

Many of them have watched those legendary "anti-Japanese dramas" to a greater or lesser extent when they were young.

When you watch these dramas for the first time, you might find them interesting.

But if you look at it too much, you will get very strong visual fatigue and a feeling of unreliability.

This is a natural change.

Not long after.

Sure enough, some viewers asked Zhou Mo about his views on the "anti-Japanese drama".

Zhou Mo thought for a moment and gave his answer.

"I think it is like this. If those dramas are just presented in a more legendary way, with the focus on finding solutions and solving problems during wartime, and the indomitable spirit, then there is no problem.

But if it is a drama that trivializes war, makes up stories and ignores objective facts, there is no need to watch it any more. "

Judging from the timeline, there is no doubt that the audience's overall aesthetic requirements are constantly improving.

Whether it is a TV series or a movie.

The audience's demand for the internal logic of film and television works has been increasing.

This conclusion may seem strange, but it is true.

Zhou Mo's answer this time was not only an answer to the audience, but also an answer to himself and other colleagues.

Discover the changes in the audience and follow the changes in the audience.

……

The time comes in the afternoon.

Just as Zhou Mo and others were having dinner, the company called.

"Director Zhou, the first day box office data is out."

Zhou Mo directly turned on the speaker and turned the volume up to maximum.

"Well, how much?"

"Four hundred million."

Hey!
The entire backcourt fell into silence upon hearing this number.

The silence lasted for five seconds, followed by a ghostly howl.

"Four hundred million——"

The person who made the sound was Wu Jing. No one knew what he was thinking, but he just raised his arms up to show off his biceps.

The others also started laughing, confirming the numbers they heard with each other.

Zhang Hanyu came over and asked, "Director Zhou, if I remember correctly, this number should break the record."

Zhou Mo nodded.

"Yes."

Before "Battlefield", the highest domestic box office on the first day was Stephen Chow's version of "The Mermaid", which earned 3.7 million yuan.

"Now it all depends on the subsequent performance. Judging from the current box office trend, our box office is still very stable."

Zhou Mo turned the laptop screen towards Zhang Hanyu and pointed at the statistical data in the little blue book.

There are two data lines in total, one is the box office line of "The Mermaid" and the other is the prediction line of "Battlefield".

It can be clearly seen that the prediction line of "Battlefield" is above "Mermaid", and there is a relatively obvious distance between the two.

That afternoon, Shanhe Company announced the first-day box office of "Battlefield".

The data of 400 million directly broke the defense of many film crews who wanted to compete for the 1 billion mark.

Four hundred million.

Let no one live anymore.

There are many movies that have a box office of less than 400 million yuan in a month.

You got 400 million in just one day?
When some people are nervous, some people are naturally happy.

Many actors who played supporting roles in "Battlefield" were unable to travel with the crew, but they actually played a lot of roles in the plot.

Now, with the news that "Battlefield" grossed 400 million yuan coming out, those who played important supporting roles will basically see a surge in their value and status in the future.

The actors who did not participate in this drama were filled with envy and jealousy when they saw people they knew or didn’t know sharing their own updates about “Battlefield” on Milezhan Entertainment.

Xx was just lucky. If it were me, I could perform better than him.

I heard that xx was chosen for the role because he sent Zhou Mo dozens of photos? Then I will send one hundred photos this time!

So, Zhou Mo fell silent as he looked at his mailbox which was full again overnight.

"Neimade, who on earth is spreading the rumor that I select people based on photos?"

Zhou Mo slammed the table, feeling so angry that he had no place to vent.

"The point is just to post photos, but a bunch of grown men are posting them, each one of them is toxic, it's really eye-catching!"

When Da Tiantian heard this, she held her stomach and laughed like a goose.

Many years ago.

When "Love Is Not Blind" became popular for the first time, many people sent photos to Zhou Mo.

However, at that time, most of the people who posted the photos were young ladies. They were all soft girls, and the photos made people drool.

Now, times have changed.

I didn't expect the photos in my mailbox to become more and more weird.

Poor mailbox.

Endured the unbearable pain of life.

On the other side, Zhou Mo had already started giving orders to his assistant.

"Check, check who is slandering me for pictures of male celebrities!"

Da Tiantian tried hard to control the corners of her mouth and gently comforted Zhou Mo.

"Okay, don't be angry. These are probably just some coincidences. They will probably fade away after a while."

Zhou Mo shook his head.

"This is not a coincidence, this is well prepared."

"Huh?" Da Tiantian was stunned.

Zhou Mo forwarded a copy of the message sent by his assistant to Da Tiantian.

Da Tiantian took a quick look and found that there were indeed several internet trolls who were doing their utmost to interfere with Zhou Mo and "Battlefield".

“Who is attacking us?”

"There are many. My competitors, my enemies, and some international organizations."

Da Tiantian understood instantly.

"It's probably because of the movie content, the historical records about beautiful women and Japanese experiments."

"Yeah." Zhou Mo nodded.

"So what are you going to do after you find out?"

"It's simple. Torture them if necessary and ban them if necessary." Zhou Mo said murderously.

Zhou Mo never thought of using the so-called usual means to solve the movement of this group of people who were backed by big money.

They just come here to pick a fight with you and don't consider anything else at all.

Every extra day you keep pace, you earn one more day.

Going through the normal process of reporting, filing a lawsuit, etc., takes too much time.

It will probably take one or two years until the lawsuit is concluded.

And there is also the possibility that the target cannot be found.

If someone does something wrong and directly cancels your registration, what can you do?

Therefore, it is easier to directly resolve the problematic account.

"Find out the source of the news. I'll also have the fun of being a boss!" Zhou Mo rubbed his hands, and suddenly felt excited.

Not having tools and not using tools are two different situations.

Zhou Mo never had a code of "adhering to the rules".

After all these years in the industry, the media firewall that I finally created should be used to deal with group attacks at times like this, right?
When the company's publicity department heard the order from Zhou Mo, they all started to get ready.

Wow, after all these years, there finally comes an interesting opponent who can give them a good stretch.

They must feel embarrassed sometimes, right? !

Thus, over the next three days, a rather large-scale melee ensued in the war of public opinion regarding “Battlefield.”

Some well-known online accounts that usually do not participate in the film and television industry, including but not limited to company accounts, opinion leaders, professors from a certain school, etc., have criticized the plot of "Battlefield", believing that the plot about the "experiment" in the movie is really fabricated.

However, not long after the news was sent out, it was taken away by a set of history books produced by the people who spread the news.

Let me read your speech first.

Looking through your records.

Finally, take a second look at your review.

In fact, the vast majority of online opinion leaders cannot withstand scrutiny.

And the greater the reputation, the less likely it is to withstand scrutiny.

After doing a set of three tests, you will find some problems more or less.

So, the Internet's spectators are blessed.

An event that took just three days.

A lot of dark histories of opinion leaders have appeared on the Internet.

It's not even a private conversation, it's real updates posted by people themselves.

"That sounds so high-sounding, but is that all?"

"You come out to stir up trouble without even cleaning your own ass. Do you really think others are fools?"

"Yeah, we said something ourselves, and these people couldn't sit still. Why didn't they say anything when the people outside attacked us?"

Netizens' comments were endless.

For internet opinion leaders who have rarely experienced entertainment industry public opinion attacks, their first reaction when encountering such things is basically to delete historical records.

But what's the use?

Netizens are not fools. As soon as they saw the news, they took screenshots.

Then they sent private messages to mock these accounts.

On the other hand, Shanhe Company also followed the pace and began to promote the film positively.

"The station just released a new expansion pack yesterday, which is about the three major experiments including the 731 experiment. It was produced by a professional team and guided by the central bank. It is absolutely reliable."

"History must not be desecrated, let alone covered up. The serious information is on the Internet and can be checked at any time. Those who say that Battlefield is fabricated without basis can forget about it."

"Don't even mention that the content of Battlefield has historical basis. Even if it doesn't have historical basis, so what? Did Xiaoyou commit fewer crimes in the past? You are not allowed to talk about it?"

"No, even Xiao Ri himself didn't say anything, why are there always some spirit Xiao Ri coming up to apologize for others? The Pacific Ocean has no cover, if you want to seek refuge, just go quickly, no one will stop you."

"Some websites are really crooked. It's fine if they worship foreign things, but now such a good movie still needs to use Internet trolls to give low scores? Don't be so ugly in the way you try to make money!"

In the past, audiences' emotions rarely had such a good opportunity to erupt.

Whenever I say something good about myself online, there will be a lot of sarcastic comments.

This time, it was the first time they were able to express their feelings freely.

Amid this sentiment, the box office of "Battlefield" also soared.

The next day, 4.2 million.

On the third day, 4.6 million.

On the fourth day, 4.9 million.

On the fifth day, 5.1 million.

"5.1 million? Are you sure this is correct?" Zhou Mo confirmed again and again with the assistant on the other end of the phone.

The assistant replied affirmatively: "Yes, Director Zhou, it is indeed 5.1 million. I have also watched it several times..."

Obviously, this number was beyond the assistant's imagination.

It also exceeded Zhou Mo's imagination.

After a moment, the assistant guessed that Zhou Mo should have digested the shock and started to ask.

"Director Zhou, should we still publish this data according to the old schedule?"

Zhou Mo came back to his senses and hummed.

"Just follow the normal process."

That night.

The box office of "Battlefield" exceeded 5.1 million on the fifth day, and the total box office in five days exceeded 20 billion. As expected, the situation of reaching 22 billion caused an uproar on the Internet.

This time, it is no longer the film industry that is shocked by this number, but almost all Internet-related fields.

Discussions, arguments, and analyses are endless.

Even the news broadcast that evening gave a brief report on "Battlefield".

at the same time.

A topic was brought to the desk of the company boss.
