Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 750: Filming is over, new plans

The entertainment industry is very cheerful in May.

Shanhe Company releases a video basically every two days, and some exaggerated videos can even be released every day.

And every video is very well acted and entertaining.

From "international funds" to "various protection agencies", from "economic operations of disaster victims and refugees (Germany)" to "funding sources of terrorist organizations".

Prolific like a frog.

It's a row at once.

People inside and outside the circle finally witnessed the fighting power of the fully-energized Shanhe Company. Later, they even developed a habit of checking to see if Shanhe Company had any new works as soon as they woke up every morning.

The enormous workload of Shanhe Company also allowed netizens on the Internet to fully understand the specific information of these institutions.

The identities of some people, including "Lv Mou" and "Chai Mou", were also uploaded to the Internet.

The reputation of this group of people, as well as their supporters and believers, on the Internet can basically be said to be completely ruined.

The rhythm that was originally created by a movie eventually developed into a big revelation, which was something no one expected.

However, Brother Kaizi is quite happy to see this change.

As the starting point of this rhythm, the box office of "Lies" has increased a lot as this rhythm develops.

At first, it was considered unlikely that the box office of "Lies" would exceed 700 million yuan, but as the beats became louder and louder, the number of moviegoers gradually increased.

By the end of May, the box office of "Lies" had exceeded 1 billion yuan.

What an unexpected surprise.

"Director Zhou, thank you for giving Feiyu this opportunity. He told me that he likes the script of "The Imperial Coroner" very much. We should be able to start filming soon."

"Director Chen, you're too polite. I can start anytime."

"I won't say anything else. When Director Zhou is done with your work, we can discuss our cooperation on the next movie."

"no problem."

Hang up.

Zhou Mo let out a sigh of relief.

It is already the end of May.

The process of "Lies" has basically been completed.

"Red Tower" has also been filmed almost completely.

The next thing is basically to finish the filming of the TV series, and then go to the Magnolia Awards with Da Tiantian.

Then, it was "Hunting Crime" starring Sun Honglei and Lim Yoona.

"Director Zhou, are you really unable to attend the premiere of "Hunting Crime"?"

In the room, Lin Yoona was looking at Zhou Mo eagerly, her eyes full of anticipation.

Zhou Mo was stared at by Lin Yuna and felt helpless.

"Yun Er, I can't give you a particularly accurate answer right now. The premiere of "The Crime Hunter" is quite close to this year's Magnolia Awards. I'll have to look at the specific arrangements at that time."

Lin Yoona nodded, she knew the importance of this year's Magnolia Awards.

Sister Tiantian has made countless preparations for this year's Magnolia Awards to ensure that everything goes well.

It was precisely because of this that both Director Zhou and Da Tiantian were unable to attend the premiere of "Crime Hunter".

Lin Yoona didn't necessarily want the two of them to go.

However, as "The Hunt" is her second movie with her as the female lead, she definitely wants to have a boss present at the premiere, which will also make her feel more at ease.

Zhou Mo thought about it and came up with an idea.

"How about this, Yuner, after Tiantian and I attend the awards ceremony, we will go to the roadshow for "Crime Hunter" together. That way, we can support you. What do you think?"

Lin Yuna's eyes lit up.

"really?"

"Of course it's true. In fact, Tiantian had always said that she would go to the scene to support you, but I didn't expect that things would come together this way."

Lin Yuna waved her hands repeatedly.

"It doesn't matter. I'm already very grateful to Sister Tiantian."

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. Since you agreed, then it's settled. After the Magnolia Festival, Da Tiantian and I will go together."

"Ok!"

After solving Lin Yuner's problem, Zhou Mo returned to the crew and finished the filming tasks that were supposed to be filmed that afternoon. Time came to evening.

Zhou Mo left the crew and took a car to a restaurant.

When I entered the room, someone was already waiting inside.

Lao Mouzi, Chen Daoming.

"Thank you for the trip, both of you."

"It's not hard. We are the ones who disturbed Director Zhou's filming."

"how come."

Pulling out a chair and sitting down, Zhou Mo first looked at Lao Mouzi: "Director Zhang, how is Assault on Arkham?"

"It's completely finished and should be released in the second half of the year."

Zhou Mo nodded.

It seems that the decision to ask Zhang Yimou to shoot "The Raid" was indeed a good one.

Apart from anything else, this efficiency is really good.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Zhou Mo did not delay and immediately took out the main dish of today's dinner from his bag.

A script.

The script's title consists of three characters.

"Parasite".

Before he left the mainland for America some time ago, he told Chen Daoming that he had an award-winning script that was more suitable for Chen Daoming.

At that time, he was talking about the book "Parasite".

A script that won an Oscar in a previous life.

Of course, it is undeniable that there are certain political reasons why "Parasite" won the Oscar.

But in addition to the Oscars, "Parasite" also won the Cannes Film Festival, which is enough to prove that the quality of this script is indeed quite excellent.

A long time ago, Zhou Mo also planned to shoot "Parasite".

After all, it was such an excellent script and had a chance to win an Oscar, so he was quite eager to be a director.

It was not until he later collaborated with Agawa on "Firefighter" that he became much less enthusiastic about "Parasite".

After thinking about it, I decided to just release the script and give it to the right person to shoot it, which can be considered as a contribution to the industry.

"I think you two have read the script. What do you think?"

Zhang Yimou and Chen Daoming looked at each other.

Lao Mouzi spoke first: "Good, very good, Daoming mentioned to me, Director Zhou, do you think this script has a chance to win an award?

After reading it, I think this statement is too conservative. I think it is not just a chance to win an award, but a certainty of winning an award. It is just a matter of what award it is. "

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows.

Good guy.

It seems that Lao Mouzi's heart is worth it this time

What he said just now was almost like a "military order". It can be said that Zhang Yimou tried his best to get this script.

"Where's Teacher Chen?"

"My thoughts are similar to Director Zhang's. This is indeed a very good script. Every character in it is very good, especially the roles of the two fathers, who are portrayed very well."

Zhou Mo nodded slightly.

In the original version of "Parasite", among the two father roles, it is obvious that Mr. Kim, the father of the "Parasite" family, is more outstanding.

It’s just that this role is not very suitable for Chen Daoming to play.

Because the styles don't match.

The person who suits Chen Daoming best is the father of the “parasitic” family, Mr. Park.

Successful career, upper-class person.

Taking the actors and plot factors into consideration, Zhou Mo slightly modified the original script after reproducing it and added some of Mr. Park's plot.

Make the contrast between the characters stronger and the gap more obvious.
