Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 697 It doesn’t matter, I have them all

ps: I saw another piece of news that Batman’s house was burned down, from “The Knightfall Project”, right?

January 10th.

Zhou Mo arrived at Kimchi.

As soon as I got off the plane, I was immediately picked up in a luxury car.

Open the car door and get in.

Sure enough, the person sitting inside was Lee Boo-jin.

"Director Zhou, long time no see. I'm sorry to come and pick you up. I hope you don't mind." Lee Boo-jin took the initiative to say hello.

"Mr. Li, you are too polite. I'm sorry to bother you to come here during your busy schedule." Zhou Mo was equally polite.

After a few pleasantries, Lee Boo-jin asked, "When does Director Zhou plan to officially start filming?"

Zhou Mo thought for a moment and said, "It will be fine in two days. What's the matter with Mr. Li?"

Lee Boo-jin nodded and said bluntly, "Yes, the company happens to have a product launch tomorrow. If possible, I hope Director Zhou can also be there, in a capacity other than director."

"Hotel Shilla's product launch?"

"No, it's Sour Star."

Understood.

It turns out that he wanted to help hold up the place.

Zhou Mo did not agree immediately, but asked: "What problems has Mr. Li encountered recently?"

Lee Boo-jin did not hide anything, but explained the situation clearly in just two or three sentences.

Although his eldest brother is currently in prison and under investigation.

But this does not mean that she can easily take over the power of the company.

Since his father was bedridden, Lee Jae-yong has officially taken over the reins of the acid star.

Over the years, Lee Jae-yong's position has become deeply entrenched.

There were many people following him.

In comparison, she has only been in charge of the affairs for more than a year, and her level of recognition in the company is still some distance away from that of Lee Jae-yong.

In addition, since she supported the filming of "The Blue House", the conflict between her and her mother has become more acute.

Even her mother couldn't give her any help.

Therefore, she needs to invite some external help to enhance her momentum.

Zhou Mo thought about it.

Since he has decided to intervene in the battle between the heirs of Sour Star and has already suppressed Lee Boo-jin, the sooner she gains the upper hand, the greater the benefit for Zhou Mo.

"can."

Lee Boo-jin smiled.

"Then I'll come pick up Director Zhou tomorrow."

"Ah."

The next morning.

Lee Boo-jin came to Zhou Mo's residence, and after asking Zhou Mo if he did not bring any special clothes, she took him to prepare a set of clothes.

Looking at Zhou Mo in a suit, Li Fuzhen praised him: "This is the first time I see Director Zhou wearing a suit. He looks really handsome."

Zhou Mo joked, "Didn't Mr. Li say he had seen me in the movie New World? How could this be the first time you've seen me?"

Lee Boo-jin smiled and said: "Director Zhou was less than 25 years old when he starred in "New World". He feels different from Director Zhou now."

"How does it compare to the remake by Lee Jung-jae?"

"Of course Director Zhou's is better." Lee Boo-jin said without hesitation: "I am not satisfied with what Director Zhou said. I even thought that it would be great if Director Zhou played the leading role in "The Blue House". He would definitely be able to improve the quality of this movie to the extreme."

"If Lee Jung-jae heard President Lee say this, he would probably cry. In terms of acting, his Blue Dragon Award winner is much better than mine."

There are two protagonists in "The Blue House".

One male and one female.

The male lead is played by Lee Jung-jae.

Lee Boo-jin waved her hands nonchalantly: "I have seen Director Zhou's acting skills, and they are no less impressive than many world-renowned actors. The fact that he didn't win an award is just because Director Zhou has a higher level of achievement as a director."

Zhou Mo smiled but didn't respond.

Seeing this, Lee Boo-jin changed the subject without leaving a trace.

The time comes in the afternoon.

Product launch event.

Lee Boo-jin did not bring Zhou Mo to appear in front of the camera in a high-profile manner, but instead brought some of his top executives from the Acid Star Company to meet him.

The people who can truly influence the company's decision-making power are not the reporters holding the cameras, but these old guys.

Zhou Mo's arrival is enough to explain a lot of things.

Zhou Mo was also relieved.

Most of the communication can be handled by Lee Boo-jin.

All he needs to do is smile and say a few polite words from time to time.

After the press conference, there was a banquet in the evening.

This time, Zhou Mo did not participate.

The purpose of helping to stand guard has already been achieved, there is no need to make another trip.

Lee Boo-jin did not force it.

Just arrange a car to take Zhou Mo there.

Before leaving, she apologized to Zhou Mo: "I'm so sorry, Director Zhou, for making you work so hard all day. I should have treated you to a banquet in person..."

Zhou Mo waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just a meal, there will be opportunities anytime. I'm going back to the crew first, Mr. Li will contact me if there is anything."

Lee Boo-jin nodded and watched the car go away.

After a moment, she fixed her hair.

It's back to normal again.

Next, there are still many tasks waiting for her.

...the next day.

Zhou Mo came to the crew of "The Blue House".

The crew members were waiting outside the set early.

The male protagonist Lee Jung-jae saw Zhou Mo from afar and immediately walked over with a smile on his face.

"Director Zhou, long time no see."

He is quite familiar with Zhou Mo. When "New World" was remade in Korea, Zhou Mo specifically asked him to act with Hwang Jung Min.

Since then, he and Zhou Mo have known each other.

Later, he also made guest appearances in Zhang Jin's "Fast and Furious 2" and Jiang Wu's "Guilty". In the circle, he is one of the Korean actors with the closest ties to Shanhe Company.

"Long time no see. You must have worked hard to come out in such a cold weather."

"It's not hard, not hard at all."

The two took a few steps forward and came in front of the actor, and Lee Jung-jae extended his hand to introduce him.

“This is Jeon Do-yeon.”

Jeon Do-yeon is the second Asian actress to win the Cannes Film Festival Best Actress award after Jang Manyuk.

His acting skills are very strong and he has won many awards.

This time, he was invited by Zhou Mo to play Park Eighteen.

Zhou Mo stretched out his right hand: "It's our first meeting. I'm very happy to cooperate with Miss Quan."

Jeon Do-yeon was all smiles.

“It is my honor to work with Director Zhou.”

Zhou Mo was stunned when he heard her response.

Jeon Do-yeon's answer was in Chinese, and her proficiency was quite good, so it was completely understandable and didn't feel weird at all.

Lee Jung-jae explained: "Ever since she heard that Director Zhou was interested in calling Do-yeon to film, she has been learning Chinese for a long time, hoping to reduce the difficulty of communicating with Director Zhou."

When Zhou Mo heard this, he nodded to Jeon Do-yeon.

"Thanks a lot."

"It should."

After introducing their identities, the group returned to the set.

On the way, Li Zhengzai was talking to Zhou Mo happily.

“When Director Zhou announced that he was going to film a new drama, Hwang Jung-min wanted to compete, but after looking around, he found that there was no suitable role for him, so he had to go film another drama.

Oh, and Jung Woo-sung also wanted to compete with me for the best actor. He really overestimated his abilities, but I defeated him easily. "

There is no need to say much about Hwang Jung-min, the actor who plays Ding Qing.

Jung Woo-sung, the one who played Jiang Asheng in "Sword Rain".

Both are very good actors.

Jeon Do-yeon looked at Zhou Mo, who was always smiling, and finally confirmed in her heart that Zhou Mo was indeed as gentle as the rumors said.

While Lee Jung-jae was talking, he suddenly smiled and said, "Jung-jae, didn't you say a while ago that there was no model suitable for Hwang Jung-min's role? Otherwise, he might really be eliminated.

Including Woo-sung, you said you were very nervous at the beginning. "

As an evergreen in the Korean film industry, Jeon Do-yeon has worked with both Hwang Jung-min and Lee Jung-jae, and both have achieved outstanding results.

So there is no burden at all when making jokes.

Lee Jung-jae was exposed for his bragging by Jeon Do-yeon, and he was so embarrassed that he could only cover it up by coughing.

After calming down for a while, he said firmly: "Anyway, I got the role. Those two were just my defeated opponents."

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "There's no need for you to argue with Zhengmin and Yusheng about this. I still have a lot of scripts and plans here, enough for each of you to take turns filming.

If “The Blue House” performs well, then these subsequent scripts and plans will be launched.”

Since he has decided to enter the Korean film and television industry, a movie like "The Blue House" certainly cannot satisfy Zhou Mo's appetite.

For Zhou Mo, "Zongheng" is not only to help Lee Boo-jin and help her go further in the power struggle among sour stars, but also to test the waters in Korea.

Although the kimchi market is small, the industry is mature, with a higher average level and fewer restrictions.

Many things that cannot be made in the country can be tried out in kimchi.

In the past, Netflix continued to enter the Korean food market, suppressing the local Korean food industry.

This time, Zhou Mo also wanted to give it a try to see if he could use the Korean film and television market as a new training base.

Li Zhengzai was shocked when he heard Zhou Mo's words.

"Director Zhou, are you saying that you plan to invest in the film and television industry here in Kimchi in the future?"

"Of course, I actually have more than one script in my hands right now, but I haven't had time to shoot it yet. You can contact Jung Min and Woo Sung later to see what they are willing to do."

Lee Jung-jae looked a little dazed, not knowing what he was thinking about.

After hearing Zhou Mo's words, he just nodded.

On the other side, after listening to Zhou Mo's few words, Jeon Do-yeon immediately realized that this was very important news and also a very important opportunity.

After only two seconds of hesitation, she volunteered: "Director Zhou, I wonder if there is any plot suitable for me in those scripts you mentioned."

"Of course."

Since Jeon Do-yeon is willing to take the initiative to cooperate, Zhou Mo will certainly not let her go: "But I think with Sister Do-yeon's acting skills, there shouldn't be any role that's not suitable for her."

Jeon Do-yeon smiled and said, "Director Zhou is exaggerating."

"In that case, let's make an agreement in advance. If there is a role suitable for Sister Yan in the future, I will contact you first."

"Then I have written Director Zhou in advance."

Just as the two of them made the agreement, Lee Jung-jae beside them suddenly let out a wail.

"What a big loss!"

Zhou Mo was puzzled and pointed at him: "What's wrong with him?"

Jeon Do-yeon laughed so hard that she couldn’t straighten her back: “When he was competing with Jung-min before, he thought the opportunity was rare, so he used a collection in exchange for Jung-min to make a slight concession.

Now I hear there are many opportunities, I feel bad. "
