Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 728 But Then Again

Zhou Mo agreed with this statement, but he knew more clearly that commercialization must take into account the cycle.

Rather than producing a 98-point masterpiece in five years or a 90-point masterpiece in one year, the latter is definitely more in line with the company's operations.

What's more, this does not take into account the situation where the music is too highbrow and only receives critical acclaim but not commercial success.

Of course, Zhou Mo would not argue with Liu Heping.

No need.

It doesn't make sense.

He just smiled and said to Liu Heping: "Then you can put this idea into the prequel of "Zhu Lou" and try to make the quality of the plot surpass that of the original "Zhu Lou"."

The news about the prequel to "Zhu Lou" was originally planned to be revealed on the last day of the live audition.

Now is a good opportunity.

The audience in the live broadcast room originally thought that there would be no new surprises today.

But what did they hear just now?
Prequel to "Zhu Lou"?
"Did I hear correctly? Director Zhou is talking about the prequel?"

"No, the film hasn't even been finished yet, but they've already started planning the prequel? That's too early."

"To be honest, considering the speed of Shanhe Company, it's not that early."

"That's right. With Shanhe Company producing one big production a year, maybe the prequel to Shanhe will be released in the second half of next year. It's actually okay to promote it now."

"I don't care about the sooner or later. I just care about the lineup of the prequel. Can we have another superstar-level lineup like this time?"

Zhou Mo looked at the comments and knew that everyone's interest had been piqued.

So, I picked out a few of the ones that I could answer.

"Will it be a superstar lineup? That depends on how many good characters Teacher Liu can write, so everyone can urge Teacher Liu more often under his account later."

"Why did we make a prequel? Because we found that the story could not be told in its entirety, so we simply wrote it in two parts, which made it easier to arrange the number of episodes."

"Will the second film be a money-making work? No, Gomen, I haven't even started to make money from the first film yet, it's too early to make money from the second film... Just kidding, I can assure you that if the second film is to be filmed, the cost will definitely not be lower than the first one."

"Will we continue to do live auditions? Of course, we can. I've found that live auditions are quite useful and popular in the past few days. We will probably do it in the future, but the scale won't be this large, since I may not be there for the entire process."

Ten minutes later, the assistant came in with a lunch box.

"Director Zhou, it's time to eat."

Zhou Mo picked up the lunch box and said to the live studio, "I'm sorry everyone, I'm so hungry today for some reason, so I asked my assistant to prepare the meal earlier. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all."

The barrage also understands.

Many of them did not pay much attention to the entertainment industry in the past, so they are not clear about the normal routine in the entertainment industry.

It was not until I watched the live audition of "Zhu Lou" and saw Zhou Mo's work and rest schedule that I realized that Zhou Mo was so dedicated to his work that he often worked the entire day long.

In response, Zhou Mo shook his head.

"Everyone, although what I'm going to say next may sound a bit self-boasting, I still want to tell you that you don't need to feel sorry for me. Everyone in my live broadcast room is much more relaxed when I make money, and I'm just more focused on my work, but it's far from being non-stop.

To put it jokingly, I make money from this, so there is no need to feel sad about it.

Moreover, my friends who follow me more know that just because I don’t eat now doesn’t mean I won’t eat forever. In fact, I have assistants, more than one. I can eat whenever I want and sleep whenever I want. It’s much easier than everyone thinks.

This is why you see me always energetic, it’s not a gift, it’s the result of my condition.”

Zhou Mo revealed a lot in just a few words, but he didn't care.

He has never established a hard-working persona.

There is no need for this thing.

The hard-working persona is actually the easiest persona to collapse.

There is absolutely no need for a character that brings no benefits to rashly bear anything.

As he introduced himself, many people echoed in the comments, saying, "My boss xxx, leader xxx, and chairman of the company xxx seem to be made of iron, never tired, and always very excited. This is partly due to his talent, but wealth also provides a lot of support."

"To be honest, most people are most energetic before the age of 30, especially in their senior year of high school, when they are completely crazy."

"Yes, I only slept five or six hours a day during my senior year of high school, and then I started to study."

Gradually, the comments began to become more diverse.

Some talked about studying, some talked about high school, and some talked about the handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry.

As they were chatting, someone mentioned Zhou Mo's attempt to win an Oscar.

"Director Zhou, how are you preparing for the Oscars in a few days? I haven't seen any promotions from Shanhe Company."

"Yes, this time the competition is not as exciting as the previous one at Cannes."

"Director Zhou, is it because Shanhe Company is holding back your resources? They make you work every day but don't even allocate resources for you?"

When Zhou Mo saw the last comment, he felt quite amused.

Shanhe Company used all his resources, and he didn't even know where the news came from.

Which company would suppress the resources of its own boss?

“Everyone, you think too much. There is really no such thing as withheld resources. There are two reasons why there is little news. One is that I am not very sure that I can win any award, so I will not open the champagne in advance.

Another thing is that I haven’t taken care of the company’s recent promotional tasks. Princess Sweet has more tasks to do, and Princess Sweet already has a lot of things to do, and she helped me with a lot of extra work. She’s been so busy these past two days that she almost fainted in the toilet, so I can’t take care of it.”

The comments were originally sympathetic to Zhou Mo, thinking that he had been wronged.

However, when he heard that Zhou Mo had assigned his task to Da Tiantian, he immediately turned against him and angrily scolded Zhou Mo.

"Mr. Zhou, are you still a human being? You let Princess Tian do these tasks! Die!"

"Evil villain, let the sweet princess go. If you have anything to do, leave it to me. I'm willing to do it!"

"Sweet princess, my sweet princess!"

Zhou Mo was almost laughed out of anger by these guys.

"Aren't you my fans? Why are you all running to support Da Tiantian?"

Barrage: "It's because you are not a human being! You let the sweet princess suffer and make others work for you."

Zhou Mo: "What if I say that Da Tiantian's name is on the list of producers I'm going to compete for awards this time?"

When the barrage heard this sentence, they all typed a question mark.

Zhou Mo: "I'm not kidding, I did add Tiantian's name in. Tiantian helped me a lot when I was filming before."
