Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 755: A tall tree attracts the wind, Tang Monk's flesh
Magnolia is over.

"Victory 3" won two leading roles, as well as Best Actor and Best Actress awards.

"White Deer Plain" won both the TV series and the director award.

Everyone returned with a full load.

congratulations.

At the dinner, the two crews that had gained the most from this year's Magnolia Awards gathered together as expected.

"Teacher Zhang, long time no see!"

The first time Da Tiantian saw Zhang Jiayi, she immediately smiled and waved her hand.

Zhang Jiayi was also all smiles.

"Tiantian, long time no see. Time flies. I always feel like we just finished filming Love Is Not Blind yesterday, but in the blink of an eye you have already won the Magnolia Award for Best Actress."

"It's just luck. Teacher Zhang, you're too kind."

“I’m not flattering you at all. I’ve watched Victory 3 more than once. Tiantian, you and Jingfei both performed very well, especially the dialogues. I admire you every time I listen to them. I can’t reach that level at all.” Zhang Jiayi’s praise was very direct, without any boasting of his seniority.

This time, Da Tiantian was not polite but smiled.

"I have also watched "White Deer Plain" many times, and Teacher Zhang's performance as the clan leader is also very good... No, to be precise, the whole drama is very good. I really hope to have the opportunity to work with Teacher Zhang again in the future." Da Tiantian suddenly sighed.

"In fact, I also want to cooperate with Shanhe Company, but there has never been any opportunity."

After these words were spoken, Da Tiantian and Zhou Mo looked at each other.

Da Tiantian: Come on, Pikachu.

Zhou Mo: No problem!

Zhou Mo immediately took over the conversation and said very naturally: "How can there be no opportunity? There is an opportunity. Our company is planning to launch a medical drama recently. It has a lot of gray content and is different from the medical dramas on the market in the past few years."

After saying that, the two of them looked at Zhang Jiayi with a smile.

Zhang Jiayi was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"You two, really are... I agree. Tell me about the role? What role will Director Zhou assign to me?"

"There are two roles, one is the dean and the other is the department director, both of which are more suitable for your situation, Mr. Zhang.

The director is a good leader with a gray area of ​​character. He has a strong network of connections and abundant resources. He has friends in the city and the province. He has suppressed some people before, but he has managed to develop the hospital very well.

The department director is closer to the protagonists, has his own selfish motives, and will make a few bucks every now and then. In the plot, he is working hard to become the vice president, but he is willing to help newcomers. "

After listening to the introduction of these two characters, Zhang Jiayi had a very intuitive understanding of what Zhou Mo had just said: "There are many gray areas in this drama, which is different from other medical dramas in the past few years."

Not to mention anything else, just the few words "city, province, make some money" have already distanced it from the vast majority of medical dramas on the market.

Zhang Jiayi has actually read some medical drama scripts in recent years.

Excluding those TV dramas that claim to be medical dramas but are actually just "love dramas in a new skin".

Other medical dramas, even the more profound ones, only cover topics such as "doctor-patient relationship", "competition in the workplace (professional title evaluation)", and "work-family balance".

Deeper, none at all.

But the reality is that anyone who has come into contact with the medical system, or even someone with more social experience, knows that medical care cannot be limited to these things.

When these four words "medicine", "insurance", "people" and "equipment" are intertwined, the resulting content is simply unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiayi found himself becoming more and more interested in the script that Zhou Mo mentioned.

"No problem. Director Zhou can contact me directly and I will go to the crew directly."

"no problem."

After talking about medical dramas, the dinner table officially entered the stage of small talk.

During the meal, a man was brought to Zhou Mo.

"Brother, I am your fan. I have always wanted to meet you. Today I am honored to meet you. I toast to you."

Zhou Mo saw who was coming and it was Sun Yi, the actress who played Bai Ling in "White Deer Plain".

Nod.

"You're welcome."

After a glass of wine, Sun Yi did not leave, but continued: "In addition, Director Zhou, I particularly agree with what you said in the live audition of "Zhu Lou" last time. There are many good actors, but those with bad tempers affect the entire crew. I think you are absolutely right."

When Zhou Mo heard this, his brows gradually frowned.

The direction of this statement is too obvious.

Do you think others are fools?
He looked at Sun Yi again and suddenly realized.

"Oh, you're the actor who was said to be competing with Li Meng for Bai Ling, right?... It doesn't really matter whether you say anything or not, the important thing is to film the movie well."

The smile on Sun Yi's face froze.

Afterwards, Zhang Jiayi came over, said a few polite words, and left with Sun Yi.

After the two left, Zhou Mo felt a little annoyed, while Da Tiantian covered her mouth and laughed.

Zhou Mo felt helpless.

"This has happened for the umpteenth time. Why are there always people thinking of using me as a tool to cheat others? The key is that there are people who actually believe it." The smile on Da Tiantian's mouth became more and more obvious.

"Who told you that you have such outstanding achievements, such a high status, and you have resources and money? A single word can determine the life or death of an actor's career... Don't other people think of you as Tang Monk meat?"

In the past, such "borrowing Zhou Mo to cheat people" has happened before.

But at least not that often.

Ever since Zhou Mo came back from the Oscars and held a few meetings, the frequency of Zhou Mo being "used to cheat people" has skyrocketed.

"Hey, did you hear what Director Zhou said a few days ago, that xxx is not doing well?"

"What's the matter? Did xxx offend Director Zhou?"

"Well, I guess xxx's resources will be suppressed in the future."

This kind of talk is everywhere in the entertainment industry.

It's really countless.

The key point is that Zhou Mo basically never said these words. At most, he would express his views on the market, actors, and crew from time to time.

However, it is this kind of view, once it is circulated among those who are interested or those who like to have fun, it will quickly be linked to the recent "xx" incident and "xx" actor in the entertainment industry.

As the rumor spread, it turned into a rumor that "Zhou Mo is unhappy with xx."

Then, someone called Zhou Mo and asked, "Did something happen? Did xx do something wrong? I'll ask about the situation for him. If..."

For Zhou Mo, he had only one reaction to these things:
bother!
Very annoying.

I was just doing my job, but a phone call came in and I had to waste a lot of time.

Da Tiantian analyzed: "To be honest, the current situation is because you are too popular. After a while, when the Oscar fever has died down, this situation should be much better."

Zhou Mo became increasingly unhappy.

"No, the point is that even if you want to use me, at least use me smartly. Just holding a wine glass over to me and being able to understand the meaning of whatever you say, aren't you treating me like a fool?"

Da Tiantian pretended to be surprised: "Good fellow, it turns out that you are not annoyed by others taking advantage of you, but you are annoyed by the low-level methods they use to take advantage of you."

Zhou Mo gave Da Tiantian a little finger gesture.

"Thank you so much, you must have been a great journalist in your previous life."

Da Tiantian patted him and comforted him, "Okay, there's no need to take this matter to heart. Whether it's Sun Yi or Li Meng, it has nothing to do with us. The only chance for us to talk is this dinner tonight. It's basically impossible for us to cooperate in the future. It will be over soon."

Seeing that Zhou Mo was still irritated, Da Tiantian thought for a moment, leaned close to Zhou Mo's ear and whispered:

"Come over later tonight and I'll give you a surprise."

Zhou Mo shuddered suddenly.

"Really?"

Da Tiantian snorted softly: "For Bai Yulan's sake, I am happy today and will relax a little."

A few hours.

At the door of the room, Zhou Mo swiped his card and pushed the door open.

It was pitch black inside, and Da Tiantian's slightly cold voice sounded.

"coming?"

"Ah."

Zhou Mo turned on the desk lamp and saw in the center of the room, Da Tiantian was wearing a lawyer's attire and black-framed glasses, staring straight at Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo took a long breath and exhaled slowly.

"Well done, you did a great job!"

……

The next day.

The crew of "Hunting Crime".

Lin Yoona looked at Da Tiantian and Zhou Mo, who were full of glory, and smiled happily.

"Sister Tiantian, congratulations on winning the Magnolia Award"

"Thank you, Yoona, and I wish "Crime Hunter" good results."

"With Sister Tiantian's good words, if "Hunting Crime" can reach 1 billion, I will be thankful."

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows and made a joke.

"One billion is too low of an estimate, Yoona, you are the heroine of a 4 billion box office movie, which is better than your sister Tiantian's performance."

Da Tiantian gave Zhou Mo a beautiful eye roll.

Lin Yuna waved her hands repeatedly.

"Director Zhou, please stop joking with me. The Mermaid was able to earn 4 billion yuan purely due to the cooperation of other teachers in the crew. I had very little credit."
