Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 702 Good things come in pairs
After the latest episode of "Extreme Challenge" was broadcast, it became a hot search on several entertainment platforms that evening.

The hot search titles are all:

How much of a headache can troublesome artists cause the director team?

Netizens commented below:

"The director is probably going to lose his hair again. These people really don't follow the plan."

"Director: A little bald."

"The game process that originally took half a day to unlock was abruptly shortened to an hour. I guess the production team is cursing at them. These people are really too careless."

"But to be honest, it's really fun this way. What I like most about Go Fighting is that it doesn't follow the routine."

In the room, Zhou Mo was browsing the comments online.

When he saw the audience praising "Extreme Challenge" for its "unconventional" approach, he smiled happily.

He deserves some credit for promoting this style in "Extreme Challenge".

It was because of his persistence that several guests on "Extreme Challenge" became more and more unrestrained, and would occasionally try to steal something, torturing the program crew to death.

Nowadays, watching the production crew being tossed around has become an essential part of watching "Extreme Challenge" for the audience.

I feel uncomfortable if I can’t see.

If you can’t see it, you’ll complain.

"What are you looking at? You're smiling like a pervert."

Liu Shishi had just finished taking a shower and came out to see Zhou Mo shaking his body in front of the screen.

Zhou Mo pointed at the computer screen and said to her, "I saw your fans praise you for being smart and knowing how to use violence to open the wooden lock."

Liu Shishi took a closer look and saw a picture in the center of the screen.

That was when she got the wooden lock and found that she couldn't open it with physical strength alone.

So, she walked towards the crowd with the wooden lock and asked the program crew members who followed her to drive the car to break the wooden lock.

Under this picture, Liu Shishi's fans gathered together and praised Liu Shishi's wit.

"I always thought my sister was a quiet and gentle person, but I didn't expect she could come up with such a violent way to open the lock."

"Sister, you have a really good brain. You figured out the trick right away."

"If this wooden lock wasn't so sturdy, my sister would have been the first person to open it."

Liu Shishi felt a little flattered when she saw the praises from her fans.

However, as she watched, she realized that the direction of the comments section had gone astray.

The proportion of comments praising her wit continued to decrease, while the number of comments discussing her violent lock-picking began to increase.

"To be honest, I feel like Liu Shishi's unlocking action can crack my head!"

"Crack the skull with a strong hand!"

"The Chinese boxing champion is invincible in the world."

"The goddess of the rising sun."

Liu Shishi almost vomited blood.

What the hell is this!
“Are these people my fans?”

"Yeah." Zhou Mo nodded.

"How is it possible? How could my fans give me such a nickname?"

"That must be because after your love of playing games was exposed some time ago, you gained more fans among game players." Zhou Mo said calmly.

Liu Shishi pursed her lips, feeling a little helpless.

It was purely accidental that she was discovered playing games by netizens.

She stayed up late playing games, and when she was excited, she turned on the microphone and happened to meet her fans. Her voice was recognized, and then the fans followed the IP address and a series of other information to finally confirm that she was playing games.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have stayed up late playing games." Liu Shishi sighed.

"Then why don't we stop fighting in the future?" Zhou Mo suggested.

"No, it's the beginning of the month now, I have to get my points up."

"No, can't we gain points even when our situation is deteriorating? Why does it have to be at the beginning of the month?" Zhou Mo was puzzled.

Liu Shishi glanced at him with disdain.

"What do you know? Scoring at the beginning of the month is very valuable!"

Zhou Mo: ...

This baby is hopeless.

Liu Shishi smiled awkwardly when Zhou Mo looked at her and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, didn't the show promote Red Mansions at the end? How has the reaction been online these past two days?" "Not bad, the discussion is quite high, and there is a trend of breaking out of the circle, but this trend is a bit biased."

"Deviate? What do you mean?"

"Look for yourself." Zhou Mo gave up his seat.

Liu Shishi was sitting at the table watching, and she caught her eye a comment that was automatically pinned to the top because it was so popular.

"The information we can get now is that Zhulou is also a political drama. In addition, the director is a newcomer who is unexpected and highly anticipated by everyone."

The user who posted this message is a well-known "uncle party" in the entertainment industry. He has revealed a lot of gossip about the domestic entertainment industry and is highly credible.

Soon after the user posted the message, someone immediately started guessing the name and seeking verification.

Some guessed it was Hu Mei, the director of "Yongzheng Dynasty", some guessed it was Chen Jialin, the director of "Kangxi Dynasty", some guessed it was Zhang Li, the director of "Ming Dynasty", and the duo of Kong Li, the directors of "Nirvana in Fire".

But the "uncle party" did not respond positively.

Until someone speculated: "Could it be Zhou Mo?"

The “Uncle Party” immediately liked this comment.

As a result, the comment section immediately exploded.

"No way, is it really Zhou Mo?"

"Hasn't Zhou Mo been making movies? Why is he filming a TV series again?"

"Didn't Zhou Mo film a TV series? In the Name of People?"

"The person above said, he was the producer and supervisor of In the Name of People, but the real director is someone else."

"But Zhou Mo did shoot it. The new version of The Myth was shot by him."

"Really Zhou Mo? God bless you! He's finally going to film a TV series again!"

"Seven years! After seven whole years, I finally waited for Zhou Mo to film a TV series?"

"No, who is Zhou Mo? Why are you so excited?"

When Liu Shishi saw the last sentence, she couldn't hold it back.

Good guy.

This is a complete newbie who mistakenly entered the circle of old guys.

Liu Shishi looked at Zhou Mo again: "Isn't this good? Fans and audiences are talking about you."

"Yes, but they only discuss me. From the movies I made, to the TV series I filmed, to my abstract moments, to the color of my underwear, but they don't discuss "Red Mansion"."

Zhou Mo spread his hands, feeling helpless.

The randomness of public opinion lies in the fact that you can never guess when the audience's discussion topic will change and in which direction it will change.

Liu Shishi didn't care.

"But you and your work are highly relevant. People who watch movies or TV series because of you already account for a large part of the population. It doesn't really matter if people discuss you."

Zhou Mo thought about it and it made sense.

Liu Shishi continued: "But when do you plan to start selecting people?"

"Let's finish filming 'The Blue House'. We can start when we return to Korea."

Liu Shishi was a little surprised.

"It seems like you really don't plan to go to the Oscars. I thought you were going to the Oscar nomination party a few days ago."

"Achuan's people are in charge, so there's no need for me to go over there." Zhou Mo shook his head.

When it comes to "The Blue House" competing for an Oscar, Achuan is just as worried as he is.

And in terms of effort, this guy even puts in more effort than Zhou Mo.

After all, this guy had pushed for the development of the American film and television industry in the past, and he was very familiar with the award-giving system in the film and television industry there.

There are many things that even Zhou Mo himself has not started to prepare for, but Achuan has already started working on them for a long time.

Liu Shishi glanced at her phone and suddenly laughed, "I saw some people scolding you online, saying that you don't respect the Oscars enough and didn't even go to the nomination party. They also said that you might know you won't be selected, so you don't dare to go to the party at all."

Zhou Mo: "Just ignore it. Some things will be criticized no matter what I do. If I am really affected by this, then I really can't do anything."

After a pause, he continued, "Also, if they criticize me and contribute to the box office of Fireman, then let them criticize me. Just think of it as someone spending money to have fun, right?"

The box office results for "Firefighter" are out.

Not bad, $5.2 million.

But only the numbers from America were counted.

The final results from the domestic side have not yet come out.

Because it's still showing.
