Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 706 What if the audition is broadcast live?

Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian agreed to go to the box office in Shanghai in three days.

Before that, he still has some things to do.

"The news about Zhulou has been brewing for so many days, and you haven't told me when to cast your candidacy. The publicity department has urged me several times."

Early in the morning in the company, Da Tiantian urged Zhou Mo to make a decision quickly.

He, the big director, is happy to be a hands-off boss, but she, the boss, is the one who is working hard.

"We clearly agreed that I would just be the mascot when the company was founded, but who knew that I would have more and more work every year, while you are running around the world. Do you know that I even completed my MBA?" Da Tiantian kept complaining.

Whose mascot needs to study for an MBA?
It’s all the fault of this hateful man in front of me!
While Zhou Mo was busy on the computer, he smiled at Da Tiantian distractedly and said, "So how is your MBA going? Do you feel like you have learned something new?"

Changing the subject always works.

Da Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I can't say whether it's useful or not. I know a lot of the knowledge in that class, and I've put it into practice in real life. It's just that I haven't formed a system."

"That doesn't matter, just think of it as making some new friends."

"I already have enough friends. It doesn't really matter whether I know him or not... Stop changing the subject. Tell me how to choose someone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Mo stopped what he was doing.

"Okay!"

"Okay? What's okay?"

"What you want is ready."

The printer started running and after a while a few sheets of paper came out.

Zhou Mo picked it up, glanced at it, and then handed it to Da Tiantian.

"Look."

Da Tiantian took it and took a look, and it was the plan for the audition of the actors for "Zhu Lou".

There was not much content in the plan, and Da Tiantian looked up after reading it for a while.

"Audition for the entire entertainment industry? Like the one for In the Name of People?"

"Not quite the same, look down."

Da Tiantian flipped a few more pages and was stunned for a moment when she saw the words "combined with live broadcast".

"Integrate with live broadcast? How?"

"We will broadcast the entire audition live, so that all the audience can watch our audition process and participate in the selection of actors."

When Da Tiantian heard this, her eyes immediately widened.

Involve the audience in the audition.

This is a really bold idea.

"It seems that the entertainment industry has never done this before."

"So we are the first ones to try it out. As long as we do it well, the benefits we will bring to Zhu Lou and even Shanhe Company will be countless." Zhou Mo said with a smile.

The plan for the live audition of "Zhu Lou" was not something he came up with on the spur of the moment.

But this is an idea that already existed in "In the Name of People".

However, due to the sensitive content of "In the Name of People" and the particularity of the live broadcast format, Zhou Mo hesitated again and again and finally gave up the idea.

no way.

Sometimes the audience charged too fast and even he couldn't catch them every time.

If the audience is allowed to participate in the live audition of "In the Name of People", the live broadcast room will most likely not be able to survive.

However, there is no such concern for "Zhu Lou".

Alternative history.

Fictional character.

Fictional plot.

No matter how much the audience complains, their impact is limited.

Da Tiantian reminded him: "You only said what would happen if the live broadcast went well, but what if it didn't go well?"

Zhou Mo asked back: "Then in your opinion, what is considered a bad live broadcast?"

Da Tiantian was stumped by this question.

For a moment, she really didn't think of any disadvantages of live auditions for the company and the crew. On the contrary, the benefits were more obvious.

Not to mention the old-fashioned benefits of exposure.

Say something else, such as leaving a fresh and deep enough impression on the audience.

The first person to try something new will always gain the most.

As long as they do well in this audition, even if other companies do well in the future, the audience will still think of them first.

In addition, there is the image of Shanhe Company in the minds of the audience.

Since we dare to conduct live auditions, we must insist on fairness, justice and openness.

Things like blatant shady dealings will definitely not be possible once live streaming starts.

Otherwise it would directly discredit the crew and the TV series.

Zhou Mo would not agree either.

Da Tiantian thought for a long time before she came up with a question.

"Since it's an audition, most of the entertainment industry will definitely come. If those popular stars come to audition but fail, their fans will think it's unfair and make a scene in the live broadcast room. What are you going to do?"

"What should I do? Just don't do it."

Zhou Mo spread out his hands and made a table-lifting motion again.

With just this one move, he imitated the crow perfectly. Da Tiantian gently pushed him.

"Don't be ridiculous, I'm telling you seriously."

"I'm not kidding, Tiantian, think about it carefully. If this situation really happens, the ones who should be most worried are not us, but the traffic itself.

The fans were making a fuss in the live broadcast room, offending the crew, offending the company, offending me, offending the referee, and offending my colleagues.

After offending so many people, whether this person can continue to make a living in the entertainment industry is another matter, why should we panic? "

In fact, Zhou Mo is not really afraid of fans with high traffic making trouble in the live broadcast room.

Not only am I not afraid, I'm even looking forward to it.

He really wanted to see the legendary classic operation of "peers just want you to be weak, and fans want you to die."

Da Tiantian thought about what Zhou Mo said and also wanted to see those famous scenes.

"So what do you say? Send the message out now?"

"Well, let's post it. Posting it early will give the actors some time to prepare. We can start auditioning when we return from the Magic City."

Da Tiantian nodded and left to arrange things.

Shanhe Company is very efficient.

All the work was arranged in just half a day.

That afternoon, news of the live audition for "Zhu Lou" went viral on the Internet.

Lizhan Entertainment, Duoyin, Kuaishou, Little Blue Book, Douban, and the gradually declining Weibo, all started discussing this matter fiercely.

"A live audition, and a trick I've never seen before. Director Zhou really knows how to have fun."

"I've finally figured it out. Director Zhou is always able to come up with something new for me."

"I was very excited when Shanhe Company released the audition video for In the Name of People last time. I didn't expect it to be even more interesting this time. They actually broadcast it live."

"Genius idea! Love it."

"I suddenly realized that this is a good opportunity. Aren't there some actors in the entertainment industry who claim to have great acting skills but always say that they don't have the resources and no one to support them? This time, we can let them come on stage and see their level."

"Oh, right, isn't it said that xx, xxx, xx are very talented? Their fans brag about them online every day, and my ears are almost callused from hearing them. Let them audition too. Let's see if they are talented enough."

The situation was exactly as Zhou Mo had expected.

After netizens initially discussed the live audition format, the topic quickly shifted to "actors who may audition for "Zhu Lou"."

At this time, ten days have passed since the broadcast of "Extreme Challenge", and some plot information of "Zhu Lou" has gradually leaked out on the Internet.

A large part of them were sent out by Zhou Mo using his own small account.

The audience also had a general understanding of the plot of "Zhu Lou".

Three generations competed for the throne.

There are enemies outside.

There is rebellion within.

Civil and military struggle.

Court reform.

It is somewhat similar to the Yongzheng Dynasty of that year, but the language, plot rhythm, etc. are more in line with the preferences of the audience of this era.

There is no doubt that this is a drama of political intrigue.

Since it is a drama of political intrigue, of course some familiar faces on the screen are indispensable.

Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo, Xiaoge Lao, Ni Dahong, Teacher Tang, Wang Huichun (the eighth son of Yongzheng Dynasty), Wang Xueqi...

Many viewers went to these people's accounts to send messages to ask questions, or sent them private messages.

However, these people seemed to have made an appointment and did not make any movement.

Of course, the lack of movement doesn’t mean they don’t know the information or are too lazy to reply.

Instead, as soon as these people received the news from Shanhe Company, they started calling Zhou Mo continuously.

But after calling for a long time, the phone was still turned off.

I changed the number and called again, but it was still turned off.

At this moment, Zhou Mo was staying at home watching "Victory 3".

As an adaptation of "Victory 3", the plot is very different from the original "Li Gou Hai" based on the first two parts.

It is closer to the domestic environment and also refers to many domestic cases.

However, some things have not changed.

For example, the duel between the male and female protagonists.

This is the biggest highlight of the "Victory" series continuing into the third part.

In the first two parts, although the heroine was ridiculed and belittled by the hero every now and then, the hero would still take every opportunity to teach and train her.

Finally, after two episodes of training, the heroine was finally able to compete with the hero in the same court.

The two sides exchanged verbal attacks and enjoyed the fight very much.

Da Tiantian looked at the screen and saw that she and Guo Jingfei were exchanging moves. The rhythm and momentum of Da Tiantian never fell behind from beginning to end. A trace of trance flashed in her eyes.

Impressive.

It's really amazing.

"Tiantian, your dialogue skills are so good now. To be honest, it's beyond my expectations."

Da Tiantian couldn't help but smile when Zhou Mo praised her.

"Actually... not really. When we were filming, Fei Ge had basically already transformed. I had to film many times before I could keep up with his pace."
