Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 694: Going to get my hair done

That night.

Zhou Mo returned to the company and told his employees about his plan.

"A documentary? No problem at all."

After listening to this, the employees said it was not difficult.

They were basically old employees who had worked with Zhou Mo for many years, and they had already guessed their boss's thoughts without Zhou Mo saying a few words.

"Okay, how long will it take?"

"Fifteen days, from shooting to completion, half a month is enough."

"Okay, then hurry up and do it. When I'm done, send it to me to take a look."

"Don't worry, boss. Just go ahead and leave it to us!"

"Go to hell, I'll deduct your bonus this month!"

After chatting with the employees, Zhou Mo sent another message to Achuan.

Ah Chuan is indeed an expert at high-intensity Internet surfing. Not long after Zhou Mo sent the message, he immediately replied.

"That's a great idea, Zhou. You're really a genius, much better than those idiots in Hollywood... Do you need the identity information of those people back then? I can ask for it for you, but remember not to leak it."

Zhou Mo smacked his lips.

He seemed to have once again witnessed Achuan exercising his power casually.

After thinking about it, I sent a message.

"Our company already has some information that is enough. I will send it to you as soon as the documentary comes out."

"no problem."

the next day.

Zhou Mo received the data collected by the company.

"Firefighter", box office on the first day was 40 million.

For a movie with fewer commercial elements, this data is already very good.

After Zhou Mo hung up the phone, he looked at the crew members who had been waiting for news.

"Everyone, the first day box office grossed 40 million, a huge success!"

When everyone heard the news, they were all stunned.

The single-day box office was 40 million.

No kidding.

In the end, it was Garfield who reacted first, raising his hands and cheering loudly.

"Yeah, 40 million dollars, Director, you are amazing!"

The others also came to their senses after a while, and after looking at each other, they could see emotion in each other's expressions.

Forty million.

It’s really not a small number.

As everyone knows, "Fireman" was planned to win an Oscar from the very beginning.

As we all know, the Oscars have never been known for their box office.

This is not fabrication, but reality.

Especially for those awards with high gold content, in the long run, there are very few movies that have reaped a lot of box office revenue.

Take last year for example.

The top award-winning films include "Moonlight", "Manchester by the Sea", "La La Land", "Fences", etc. The highest-grossing film is "La La Land" starring Emma Stone, with a total box office of more than 400 million US dollars.

Except for "La La Land", none of the remaining movies has broken 100 million yuan.

Among all the Oscar-winning films in 2017, the highest-grossing movie should be "Rabbit Police Officer and Fox Gang".

"Zootopia".

The total box office exceeded 1 billion US dollars, which is far ahead in terms of revenue.

So, before today's data came out, although everyone in the crew was looking forward to the release of the movie, few people had high expectations for the box office.

However, in just one day, Zhou Mo told them the truth.

He Zhou Mo is Zhou Mo, a different firework.

Even if it is an art film, he can still make good box office.

After a while, the cheers ended, and Zhou Mo spoke again: "In addition, because our box office was very good yesterday, several theaters have said that they will increase the screening schedule of "Firefighter" in the future.

Therefore, our publicity tasks will be heavier in the next period of time, and I hope everyone will be mentally prepared in advance. "Hearing this, the crew members quickly assured that there was no problem.

No one would complain about having too little money.

If the box office is higher, they can also earn more.

Although income such as film remuneration was agreed upon long before filming the movie.

But if the box office is high, they will also be able to make profits in other areas in the future.

For example, endorsements.

Zhou Mo stayed with America for ten days.

On January 6, he flew back to China.

The first thing to do when you land is to turn off your phone and go home to adjust your schedule.

Wait until you wake up the next day.

While in a daze, Zhou Mo suddenly heard a burst of "hehehe" laughter.

Damn it?

Which Soul Hall elder escaped?
Zhou Mo walked out of the room and saw Da Tiantian sitting at the table, staring at the computer and grinning.

Because Da Tiantian was facing away from the room, all you could see from behind was her ponytail bouncing.

Zhou Mo tiptoed to her back and patted her shoulder gently.

"Chromatography Laizi!"

“Hehehe…Oh my god!”

Da Tiantian saw who was coming and hit Zhou Mo: "You are scary again, so bad."

Zhou Mo stretched his head to look at the screen.

"I'm not scary. You were just so engrossed in what you were watching that you didn't hear me... What were you watching just now that made you so engrossed?"

When Da Tiantian heard Zhou Mo's question, she immediately made room for him and asked him to sit down with her.

“There are big melons.”

"What melon?" Zhou Mo was curious.

In the next three minutes, Da Tiantian used her hands and feet to describe to Zhou Mo a green incident that had just happened a few days ago but caused an uproar in the circle.

Zhou Mo summarized her words, which could actually be described in three words.

do hair.

"Hasn't this been out for a few days? Why did you laugh so evilly just now?"

Da Tiantian coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassedly, and refreshed her facial expression.

Then he said seriously: "I didn't want to laugh at first, after all, laughing at someone behind their back is a bit impolite, but the netizens were so funny that I couldn't control myself for a while."

She found a web page from the historical records.

"look by youself."

Zhou Mo glanced in the direction of the mouse and said to himself, "So that's it."

What appeared on the screen were photos of the two protagonists of the incident.

There were four words beneath that photo.

"Lu came out of Jia and laughed."

This picture was posted on Ms. Li's personal account in response to her statement "just taking a break, nothing happened" after the "hairdressing" incident.

The netizen who posted the picture also posted another picture under Mr. Jia's account.

"Pretend to be good".

grass.

Zhou Mo couldn't help it this time.

Netizens are really talented.

I can always come up with something new every time.

He vaguely remembered that five years after the hair scandal in his previous life, netizens had created an idiom "Yi Lu goes hand in hand".

He is a master of memes.

"Well, this is karma for these two. They were so smooth when they stabbed others in the back, so this is karma for them."

Da Tiantian suddenly said, "Speaking of the stabbing incident, someone actually mentioned it these past two days."
