Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 759 There are always more solutions than difficulties

Two days later.

Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian signed a contract with the people from Wanda Cinema.

From then on, the last piece of the puzzle of mountains and rivers was integrated.

After signing a series of messy contracts that included big within small, small within big, Da Tiantian let out a long sigh of relief.

"This time, a lot of money is spent."

"Why, sweet princess, are you worried about your wallet?"

"Well, this should be the second largest investment we have made in all these years." Da Tiantian made a rough calculation.

"Almost. If we don't count the cooperation investments, this investment amount is indeed second only to the acquisition of the film towns of Huayi."

"Looks like I'll have to eat dirt for a few more months." Da Tiantian said.

Zhou Mo was almost amused by this sentence.

"That's enough. This acquisition is only worth tens of billions. In the eyes of Mr. Wang, it's just a few dozen small goals. It's just a drizzle for you, the sweet princess."

Da Tiantian doesn't agree with this statement.

"You can't say that. Life is not always smooth sailing. Everyone has down times. Mr. Wang was so successful last year, but he failed in the second half of the year, right?
Who could have imagined that the richest man at the height of his career would one day start selling off his shares? It’s really hard to predict what will happen in this world.”

It is true that things are unpredictable.

In 2017, the richest man Wang started selling off his assets, and many big bosses in the industry laughed at him.

However, after a few years, everyone knew the situation.

The richest man Wang turned a disaster into a blessing and successfully lost weight ahead of schedule. Although Wanda has never stopped selling off its shares, at least he is still in good health.

As for the richest man Xu, his net worth doubled every year in the past three years, but he still went to drink tea a few years later.

Zhou Mo suddenly thought that this idea could also be applied.

"Hey, I have a new idea for a business tycoon."

"what?"

Zhou Mo told Da Tiantian about the ideas he had just come up with.

"Of course we can, but if that happens, won't we be back to our old ways soon?" Da Tiantian was a little conflicted.

Zhou Mo's idea sounds very practical.

As long as you can take the picture, good results are entirely foreseeable.

“But if we still use Qian Duoduo’s character to film your idea, will it cause a conflict between the first and second parts?

Qian Duoduo is a character who will always make money, how could he encounter such a big crisis at the beginning? "

When filming "Business Tycoon", Zhou Mo hinted many times in the movie that the setting of Qian Duoduo is not the opposite, but that you can make money by doing anything, even by drinking cold water.

Otherwise, the logic of "Business Tycoon" is too weak and it is difficult to develop in depth.

If we do it the other way around, after Qian Duoduo discovers the characteristics of his body, he only needs to work towards success.

But Qian Duoduo has tried to do this, and the result is undoubtedly that he still made a lot of money.

This is Qian Duoduo’s fighting power.

Zhou Mo waved his hands, indicating that Da Tiantian’s problem was not a big deal at all.

“That’s easy. Just set the story of Business Tycoon 2 around a boss with a lot of money.

Qian Duoduo’s business didn’t collapse, but Qian Duoduo’s father was about to collapse.

Just when Qian Duoduo was forging ahead in the business world, her father almost drowned in the ups and downs of the business world due to some mistakes.

After Qian Duoduo came back, she launched a series of rescue activities, but this time her "reverse talent" was activated again. The operation that was originally intended to rescue the market turned into a crazy sell-off, and she also invested in emerging industries. After all these operations, the company's total assets did not improve, but instead shrunk wildly.

As Qian Duoduo's father's assets shrank, his net worth also plummeted, becoming a typical negative case in the industry.

Don't let the second generation take over the family business at will.

As the saying goes, we are not afraid of the second generation making a move, but we are afraid of the second generation having great ambitions.

Tanking is just spending money.

But ambition is enough to ruin a family.

However, unexpectedly, after a few years, huge changes took place in the market. The industry in which Qian Dafu was located gradually collapsed and became a sunset industry. All the giants in the industry were constantly struggling to survive, but Qian Dafu was relatively safe because he lost weight early.

Moreover, the industry he had invested in earlier has also begun to gain momentum, becoming a typical sunrise industry, and the market is picking up again.”

After Zhou Mo finished explaining his ideas for "Business Tycoon 2", Da Tiantian's eyes immediately lit up.

"This is a good idea. It won't change Qian Duoduo's setting, and it can also continue the story line of the first film."

Then, she looked at Zhou Mo with a little helplessness.

"You are such a smart guy. I haven't even started thinking about my new idea yet, but you have already figured out how to make the movie."

"You can keep thinking about it. It doesn't matter."

"But you've already told the main storyline of Business Tycoon 2, so there's no point in me writing more."

"Then change the name and make a new movie." Zhou Mo said casually.

He didn't take Da Tiantian's words as a bother at all.

That's how it works sometimes.

The original plan has not been completed, and a new idea pops up, which is better and more useful than the original plan, so just use the new idea directly.

As for the original plan, if it is still okay, then change it slightly and use it for other things.

Inspiration is important.

Good inspiration should never be wasted.

Otherwise, when your inspiration runs out, you won’t have anywhere to cry.

When Da Tiantian heard what Zhou Mo said, she curled her lips.

"But I still want to use the fame of 'Business Tycoon'. This is my first movie as a director. Although I don't have much credit, I still want to use it."

Zhou Mo said "Oh" and understood what Da Tiantian meant.

So you are reluctant to give up your original traffic?

This is also simple.

“Okay, just write down your new ideas and set up the new ideas in the same world view as Business Tycoon.

Under the unified world view, the settings, characters, plots, and arrangements of "Business Tycoon" are actually at your disposal. You can use them however you like, and you can even bring out the protagonist of "Business Tycoon" to show up from time to time.

The audience will not only not feel annoyed when seeing this, but will even find it interesting. After all, this thing can be called an Easter egg in another name.”

After hearing Zhou Mo's method, Da Tiantian was stunned for a moment.

"Can this still happen?"

"What's the big deal? If you can use the protagonist, use the protagonist. If you can't use the protagonist, use the same main plot. If the main plot can't be used, use the same world view. When shooting a sequel to an entertainment work, you will definitely encounter various problems under normal circumstances.

At this time, you need to give the audience a reasonable explanation that they can accept... Tiantian, you still have a long way to go in your directorial journey~"

Zhou Mo smiled slightly.
