Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 761 Don’t Cover Your Mouth

Zhou Mo has always felt that Director Bi is actually very easy to deal with.

Just stroke the hair and follow what he says.

"Director Bi, I invested so much money and spent so many resources on "Life Search". If it is not allowed to be released, won't all the previous efforts be wasted?"

Director Bi also realized that this was indeed the case.

"Then Director Zhou, why don't you let me get people to promote it?"

"Because I think they are unreliable." Zhou Mo said bluntly: "Director Bi, you might as well think about what those people you called did before and after "Dreaming in the Entertainment Industry"? They praised the movie before it was released and criticized it after it was released.

Is this something someone in the industry should do?

I don’t think so.

Regardless of the reason, this behavior is an irresponsible attitude, so I don’t think it’s necessary to call them out. Their presence will only affect the reputation of our film.”

When Director Bi heard the words "Don't mind reviewing this movie after it's released", he was so excited.

Does Zhou Mo's words mean that he thinks "Chasing Dreams in Entertainment Industry" still has its merits?
I was forced to think this way and ask this question.

"Director Zhou, I want to ask you what you think of "Dreaming in the Entertainment Industry". Do you also think that this movie is a complete rubbish? It has no value at all?"

Zhou Mo was stunned.

How did the topic get to the content of "Chasing Dreams" again?
But right now, he certainly knew how to answer.

"Of course not. Chasing Dreams in Show Business still has its merits."

"What's good about it?" Director Bi asked.

Zhou Mo said without hesitation:
"As for the theme of the movie, I remember that the theme of "Dreaming in the Entertainment Industry" should be the process of young people maintaining their original intentions in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry."

"Yes, yes! I didn't expect that Director Zhou actually agreed with this theme." Director Bi spoke haltingly, his voice twitching a little.

"Of course I agree with this theme. It's a good theme."

Zhou Mo told the truth.

The theme of staying true to yourself in the entertainment industry isn't a bad theme.

There is no harm in spreading truth, goodness and beauty.

It’s just that Director Bi’s movies are just too bad.

Of course, this goes without saying.

Zhou Mo continued, "I wonder if Director Bi is familiar with our company's movie "Loving Family" (the movie about the Tang Dynasty poet's quarrel). That movie is actually somewhat similar to "Dreaming in the Entertainment Circle" in that it has a similar theme to actors who gradually become black in the entertainment industry.

It’s nothing more than that the protagonists in your films stick to their true hearts, and “A Loving Family” reveals this process.”

Director Bi's voice became excited again.

"Of course I have heard of it. In fact, my film Chasing Dreams was also influenced to some extent by your film One Family, Director Zhou."

Zhou Mo: ...

Sorry, I really didn't notice.

He was keenly aware that he shouldn't talk too much with Director Bi on this topic.

Otherwise, there was no guarantee that Director Bi would say something that would make him die of anger.

Zhou Mo decisively changed the subject.

"So, Director Bi, we don't need to ask your friends to promote the movie. We can do it ourselves. We know everything about it and we know which direction to promote it. Don't you agree?"

"That's right, Director Zhou, you are the one who has thought it through. If we don't call them, they will only make things worse!" Director Bi said loudly.

"No problem. To thank you for your trust, Director Bi, I will personally take charge of the follow-up promotions!"

Zhou Mo didn't give Bi Dao a chance to refuse. Now the movie was only a few days away from being released.

In order to prevent Director Bi from causing any more trouble, it would be better to just let him take over.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Mo sent another message to Da Tiantian.

Da Tiantian sent a voice message to Zhou Mo.

"You still have a way."

Zhou Mo took back his phone, returned to the office, and began to plan the promotion of "Life Search" in the next few days.

Although he seemed very relaxed when chatting with Da Tiantian, he seemed not worried at all about the release of "Life Search".

But to be honest, it's impossible not to be a little nervous.

All in all, the target we have to face this time is Boss Li.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Although Qiandu has gradually fallen out of the "BAT" lineup, it is still a super large Internet company.

"A few days before the movie is released, there will be a lot of negative opinions about Life Search on the Internet. Don't worry. With a month of screening time, we have every opportunity to take our time and spread the word of mouth of the movie little by little..."

In the next few days, Zhou Mo's main job every day was to lead the company's public opinion and publicity team, as well as people from other platforms under his control, to continuously simulate the handling of public opinion crises.

After simulating over and over again, everyone felt a little tired.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. Three days before the release date of "Life Search", some news about Director Bi appeared on the Internet.

The main content of the rhythm revolves around the fact that Director Bi’s "Dreaming in Show Business" is really terrible. How can "Life Search" filmed with his participation be reliable?

In response to this, Zhou Mo directly asked someone to spread the reason why he asked Director Bi to participate in the filming.

"The script for 'Life Search' was written by Zhou Mo, and the director is Han Jianu. What does Director Bi have to do with this? Isn't this a mascot?"

Da Tiantian was quite moved when she saw the public opinion online.

"Good fellow, you just stripped Bi Dao clean right away."

"What does it have to do with me? The netizens said it themselves. It has nothing to do with me." Zhou Mo did not admit it at all.

Da Tiantian didn't argue with him.

"What if netizens don't agree with this explanation? Should we suppress the hype?"

"If you don't want to admit it, then don't admit it. Why suppress the heat? Everyone can criticize it if they want. Anyway, as long as the firepower is focused on Director Bi and not on the content of the movie, we don't need to care."

What Zhou Mo did was to create a wall of isolation between Director Bi and "Life Search".

As long as the audience's complaints are focused on Director Bi, there is no need to carry out any backstage operations.

There is only one result of forcibly covering your mouth.

No one scolded, and no one watched.

If the audience is not allowed to open their mouths, they will naturally give up paying.

"In that case, wouldn't Director Bi be the focus of firepower?"

"I guess your next sentence is, will this hurt him too much?" Zhou Mo asked back.

Da Tiantian paused and gave Zhou Mo a displeased look.

"Let's talk about serious matters, don't joke around."

"The serious thing is, Director Bi doesn't really care about this matter. If he really cared, he wouldn't have endured so much criticism and argued with netizens.

In fact, he is now waiting for the release of "Life Search" to shock those audiences who look down on him. "
