Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 680: Magic vs. Magic
The episode in which Prince Fu meets Sun Chengzong in private is the most watched and discussed episode after the first two episodes of "I Want to Be the Emperor".

It is said that "beauties since ancient times are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world."

The information about Sun Chengzong was revealed to the audience through the plot content in the first few episodes of "The Emperor".

There is no doubt that Sun Chengzong's experience will make people feel sincere regret when reading it.

Prince Fu's actions made up for this regret.

The comments section praised Prince Fu’s performance in this episode.

"King Fu, you are such a monkey!"

"I declare that this episode's Fu Wang gets 100 points."

"After watching Prince Fu's actions, I think I should be more tolerant of his narcissism."

"Since Sun Chengzong was saved, can people like Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng also be saved? Don't let the audience have any regrets!"

Zhou Mo smiled when he saw the message.

This comment actually reveals one of the core selling points of the entire drama "I Want to Be the Emperor".

Make up for regrets.

History is romantic.

The more romantic something is, the stronger the sense of regret it will give people when it has flaws.

The main plot of "I Want to Be the Emperor" is, to some extent, constantly making up for regrets.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, people were displaced by natural disasters and man-made tragedies. So we should end the war and let the people live and work in peace.

Heroes are old and their ambitions are hard to fulfill, so let those heroes realize their ambitions.

If we are complacent and lag behind the times, then we should forge ahead and lead the trend of thought.

These three were shown from beginning to end in the last episode.

First of all, he is complacent. Prince Fu's willingness to study the Red Cannon represents his attitude towards external technology.

Secondly, his ambitions were difficult to fulfill. He had been arguing with Sun Chengzong for a whole episode, just to get Sun Chengzong to join them. Doing so would naturally change their fate.

On the third day, the whole world was at peace and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

This is the focus of the following plot.

Zhou Mo responded to that comment:
Don't worry, what is supposed to be there will definitely be there, so stay tuned.

Not long after the message was sent, Zhou Mo’s reply was discovered by netizens, and then the number of likes increased rapidly, quickly pushing Zhou Mo’s reply to the top.

When the audience watching the TV series saw Zhou Mo appear in the comment section again, they immediately commented below.

"Capture Director Zhou alive!"

"It's really touching that Director Zhou came to watch the TV series in person!"

"Look at what the person above said. Director Zhou not only watches TV dramas himself, he even poops himself."

"I can attest that this is true because I am the toilet."

Zhou Mo looked at the netizens laughing below and shook his head with a smile.

The Internet updates much faster than most people imagine.

Before he knew it, fewer and fewer people called him "Chu Zhou" and everyone started calling him "Director Zhou".

Occasionally someone would call out "Zhou Chu" in his comment section, and many netizens would ask where the nickname "Zhou Chu" came from.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhou Mo’s past fans no longer pay attention to him.

But time flies, and his fans are now gradually entering middle age. Although they still follow him, they post comments online less and less frequently.

"Speaking of which, the middle-aged fan group should be the one with the biggest gap between consumption capacity and frequency of occurrence." Zhou Mo thought to himself.

It is now the end of 2017. According to the time, programs based on emotions like "Sisters Who Make Waves" are almost ready to be launched.

However, Zhou Mo did not want to follow the process of loving each other like in her previous life's "Sisters Who Make Waves".

When a group of people in the entertainment industry get together, quarreling is the main theme. Only fans, or CP fans, will believe that they love each other.

Thinking of this, Zhou Mo picked up his phone and called the company.

"Hey, I've come up with an idea. Let me tell you the basic process... Do you understand? OK, fill in the process. You can refer to the successful experience of some of our company's programs in the past, such as the mental display. Once you're done, send it to me."

Not long after I hung up the phone, the assistant called again.

"Director Zhou, our play has been reported."

Zhou Mo asked calmly: "What's the reason?"

There has been a constant stream of complaints about "The Emperor" since the first day it was aired.

The only thing Zhou Mo was curious about was the reason for this complaint.

The assistant responded: "It was the line in our drama about the Later Jin Dynasty, the Jian Nu, that some viewers felt deeply hurt after watching it.

In addition, the plot we set in the play about the attack on the Jiannu was also said to be deliberately hurting their feelings, which is not in line with history. "

"That's it, the same old three things. There's really no creativity at all. Don't worry about it." Zhou Mo said casually.

However, this time the assistant did not hang up the phone immediately. Instead, he replied, "Director Zhou, this time the complaints are much bigger than the previous ones, especially in terms of rewriting history. I think we still have to find a way to respond."

"Is that right?"

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows, looked up and thought for a while, then came up with an idea.

"Then turn back..."

After hearing this, the assistant immediately cursed.

"Fuck, Director Zhou, you are so talented!"

"It's just so-so, third in the world. You should hurry up and get it. The sooner the better."

"Don't worry, Director Zhou, I will complete the task!"

……

The next day.

When Zhou Mo was watching the new plot of "The Emperor" again, he saw some comments and barrages starting team building.

As for the content, it is almost the same as "nihilism of history and falsification".

But not long after, when the latest episode was halfway through, a new force appeared in the comment section.

"If you don't want to read fake history, that's fine. Just tell me the real things that the Later Jin Dynasty did.

Where did Huang Taiji fight before he arrived at the Ming capital? Where did he carry out the massacre?

"What the above person said is very good. I am from Southwest China and will follow along. The amazing operations carried out by the people here are really too much to describe in three days and three nights."

"It's weird. It's clearly 1+55, but why does it feel like only that clan member is talking online? You're the only one who's special, right? If you really want to find out the history, do you want to talk about what you've done to the other dozens of them?"

Liu Shishi looked at the contents of the comment section and was so surprised that she broke out in a sweat.

“Oh my god, even these kinds of things are appearing in the comments section?”

She is also one in fifty-five, so she knows more about some things and is more sensitive.

As the comments said, there were indeed some people with louder voices in the past.

Some things are basically not talked about.

But not saying it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Once some things are brought up, they can immediately cause a large-scale debate.

Liu Shishi suddenly raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhou Mo.

"This rhythm, isn't it you who set it up?"
