Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 669 Breaking the Record
The expectations of the European and American markets for "Battlefield Europe" somewhat exceeded Zhou Mo's imagination.

But he was not surprised by Aryan's use and ridicule of the image of the mustache himself.

During the time he went to Cannes, Zhou Mo also visited there.

Many local buildings and shops use mustaches as a means of publicity.

For example:
"Mustache used to drink here."

“Mustache once gave a speech here.”

“Mustache used to paint here.”

and many more.

Among young people, the joke about "the right arm cannot be controlled and starts to lift up" will become a hot search from time to time.

Videos of people clapping their hands and saying "nein, nein" become popular at least once a year.

Thinking of this, Zhou Mo called the company.

"Let's do a film market survey in Europe and America to see what percentage of viewers really want to watch Battlefield Europe and Zombie Mustache."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Mo was thinking about the layout of "Battlefield: Europe" in his mind.

In terms of character selection, there is undoubtedly only one most important character in "Battlefield: Europe".

Mustache.

There have been many actors who have worn the mustache throughout time.

The most classic one, of course, is the "Angry Fuhrer".

Bruno Ganz.

But he is now 75 years old and certainly can’t act in movies anymore.

In addition to this person, Zhou Mo has another crush on someone.

Robert Carlyle.

He is the actor with a mustache who said, "50 marks, 50 marks, that much money can't even fit in a carriage!"

The movie "The Rise of Demon" starring him tells the story of Little Mustache in his early years.

From being rejected for his paintings, to the battlefields of World War I, to giving speeches in beer halls, to being arrested, and finally becoming the Führer.

When Robert performed the mustache speech, it was very distinctive, with a loud and powerful voice.

After deciding on the actor to play the mustache, the others became much easier.

Zhou Mo gave the instructions for the task and stopped paying attention to it.

Now it is already the end of October.

There are less than ten days left for "Battlefield" to be shown in China.

The total box office will exceed 48 billion, and there is no doubt that it will exceed 50 billion.

But Zhou Mo felt that it was still not enough.

He was thinking about whether to add another wave of publicity funds.

While I was hesitating, Mr. Han, who had not appeared for a long time, called me.

Mr. Han came straight to the point and stated his purpose on the spot.

"Battlefield's box office is doing pretty well right now, are you interested in getting some extra cash?"

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows.

When you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow?
"Boss Han, I don't quite understand what you mean by an extra box office. Can you give me some more tips?"

President Han did not keep the secret and said bluntly: "The higher-ups want to use Battlefield as a learning opportunity, so I asked you a question to see what you think."

Learning opportunities?

Zhou Mo immediately understood what President Han meant.

The so-called learning opportunities are provided by official institutions, including universities, government agencies, and units, which pay for a portion of the movie tickets and count them as benefits or learning topics for members of the institutions.

The box office revenue of these movies will naturally be counted as part of the box office revenue.

Zhou Mo immediately agreed: "Of course I am willing, Mr. Han, do you know what I need to do?"

"You don't have to do anything, just focus on your own thing." President Han waved his hand, meaning that he would take care of the matter so that Zhou Mo could work with peace of mind.

Zhou Mo chuckled: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Han, for making you spend so much effort..."

President Han snorted.

"I told you you're fat and you're out of breath, right? Okay, don't be polite to me. You've taken care of Jianv over the past few years, so this is my return gift."

"It's not really about caring, it's all my duty..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Mo immediately went to the crew and explained the situation to the crew members.

After more than 20 days of roadshows, everyone was quite tired and their mentality gradually became slack.

However, as soon as this news came out, a group of people immediately became excited and came to Zhou Mo one after another.

"Director Zhou, there really is a support policy."

"Director Zhou, what level of support will you provide this time?"

"Director Zhou, do you need us to do anything in advance?"

Zhou Mo stretched out his hands and pressed into the air to stop their various questions.

"I will explain the situation to you one by one. What you need to do most is to seize the time to adjust your mindset, cheer up, and do a good job of publicity in the last few days."

"No problem, Director Zhou, just wait and see."

……

three days later.

The daily box office, which had dropped to 40 million per day, suddenly rose to more than 100 million per day.

On that day, the total box office of "Battlefield" exceeded 50 billion.

The entire crew was plunged into a sea of ​​cheers.

Seeing this, Zhou Mo did not insist on holding a banquet at the end, and directly asked the company to arrange a venue for a small celebration banquet first.

That night, the atmosphere was very harmonious with everyone drinking and chatting.

Twelve o'clock in the evening.

Zhou Mo returned to the room half drunk and half awake.

When I turned on the light, I found an unknown object in the quilt.

I looked at the room card.

It’s 404, that’s right.

There was an unknown object under the quilt. After hearing the sound of the door closing, no one came near for a long time.

He lifted the quilt and just exposed his head when he was hit by a knife.

"Hey, you evildoer, take this stick from me!"

"Go to hell with you, you are the monster!"

Liu Shishi covered her head, stretched out her flexible long legs from under the quilt, and kicked Zhou Mo twice.

Zhou Mo was "shocked" and stood up straight quickly.

"Shishi, why is it you?"

"Who else could it be?" Liu Shishi raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"A demon." Zhou Mo spread his hands. "I can't help it. You were wrapped in the quilt and didn't say anything. I could only see a strange object of unknown shape. So I was a little too cautious. I'm really sorry."

Liu Shishi snorted.

I originally thought this guy would go straight to bed, but who knew he would turn on the light first.

What a waste of the little surprise she had worked so hard to prepare.

"Shi Shi, when did you come into the room? Have you finished your meal?" Zhou Mo took off his coat and asked about Liu Shi Shi's situation.

Liu Shishi's mouth corners curled up slightly.

It’s okay, he knows to care if she’s hungry.

"I've already eaten. I thought you'd finish at around 10 o'clock, but I waited for you for two hours and you were nowhere to be seen."

Zhou Mo was also a little helpless: "Everyone is too enthusiastic, the toasts never stopped from beginning to end, otherwise I would pretend to be drunk, otherwise I would not be able to come back now."

When talking about grades, Liu Shishi's breathing suddenly became rapid.

When "Battlefield" grossed 50 billion.

Not only the domestic entertainment circle, but the entertainment circles all over the world were shocked.

Of course she is no exception.
