Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 771 It Begins to Become a Punishment

"If Chen Sicheng knew what we talked about today, he would probably call you again." Da Tiantian said with a smile.

"Forget about that. Every time this guy comes, he always praises people and tries to get me to make a guest appearance for him. It's so annoying. I don't want to call him again." Zhou Mo said with disgust.

Da Tiantian smiled and said, "Then you are done. Don't forget that you are now the super boss of Wanda Pictures. Chen Sicheng will only call you more in the future."

Zhou Mo slapped his head.

Yes.

How could he have forgotten about this?

Chen Sicheng was not a film director from the beginning. He developed step by step from actor, TV drama director to film director.

His later success as a film director was largely due to the support from Wanda Pictures.

And now, Zhou Mo has become the top decision-maker of Wanda Pictures.

"Then you can't answer his calls."

Zhou Mo made up his mind.

He really doesn't want to call anyone right now.

Half a day often passes by in a phone call.

"Da Tiantian covered her mouth and laughed so hard that her shoulders shook.

She rarely saw Zhou Mo in this state.

"By the way, isn't Chen Sicheng currently filming Detective Chinatown 2?"

"It has been filmed and I think we have already started editing and post-production, but I think the release will have to wait until next Spring Festival."

In the previous life, "Detective Chinatown 2" was originally scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival this year. In this life, because Wang Baobao was called by Zhou Mo to shoot "Lies", Chen Sicheng waited for Wang Baobao for a year.

In terms of relationship, Chen Sicheng can basically be said to be one of the people with the closest relationship with Wang Baobao, except for Zhou Mo.

On the contrary, Zhang Yi had a very good relationship with Chen Sicheng back then, but after "Yanjing Love Story", the two gradually drifted apart.

Da Tiantian was shocked when she heard the news about "Detective Chinatown 2".

"So fast?"

"Of course, otherwise how can I say that he has the ability to commercialize? How can we talk about commercialization without this efficiency?" Zhou Mo said casually, and then his eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "I know how to get rid of Chen Sicheng's deadly serial calls."

"How to say?"

"If someone interviews me again and talks about commercial films, I will tell the interviewer directly -

If the Chinese film industry can produce three more Chen Sichengs, then the level of our domestic film industry can at least be raised to a higher level!"

When Zhou Mo said this, the corners of his mouth were almost crooked to the sky.

He didn't believe that after this news got out, Chen Sicheng would have the chance to call and harass him again.

Let this guy deal with public opinion on his own.

Da Tiantian was also shocked by Zhou Mo's "sinister" intentions.

She said to Zhou Mo in astonishment, "If I didn't know that you have a very good relationship with Chen Sicheng and that you even have shares in his company, I would have really thought that you were flattering him to death."

"Of course not. Besides, whether to flatter or not still depends on the target's own strength. With Chen Sicheng's level, such words will only help his status in the end. He might even thank me!" Zhou Mo waved his hand casually.

He really thought so.

As long as there are more directors like Chen Sicheng on the market, at least the situation where the audience cannot see a good movie from beginning to end 365 days a year will not happen.

Da Tiantian smacked her lips, feeling a little conflicted.

There is embarrassment, but also strong anticipation.

While she was still brainstorming, her assistant knocked on the door and entered the room.

"Director Zhou, Sister Tiantian."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Da Tiantian came back to her senses and looked at the person who came. "The video that Director Zhou asked Dao Le to make has been produced."

"Oh? Come out?"

Zhou Mo was delighted: "Send it to me."

"It has been sent to you."

"Okay, I'll take a look first, you go ahead and do your work."

"it is good."

After the helper left, Da Tiantian looked confused.

"What on earth were you two chatting about on video? Why are you so happy?"

Zhou Mo explained: "As for the promotional video for "Wushuang", I told you about it before. It was finally produced today."

Da Tiantian suddenly realized, "Is that the one you said needs to be watched in order to be made?"

Zhou Mo nodded.

Da Tiantian asked: "What does that have to do with Dao Le?"

"You'll know when you take a look." Zhou Mo did not explain immediately, but turned on the computer.

After some searching and downloading, play it on the video software.

Da Tiantian had already prepared a stool and sat next to Zhou Mo. As soon as the video started, she stared at the screen intently.

What appeared on the screen was a person holding a paintbrush.

At this moment, the man was leaning on the table and drawing some lines that looked very detailed, but because the viewing angle was too close, the specific content could not be seen.

Next to him was a pile of instruments that looked very professional and sophisticated, but it was unclear what they were used for.

"What are you doing?" Da Tiantian asked directly.

"Making knife music."

Da Tiantian:?

She felt like she had heard it wrong, so she asked Zhou Mo again, but got the same answer.

"You heard it right, we are making Dao Le. Don't worry, you can see it soon... Hey, right now, look!" Zhou Mo suddenly said, pointing at the screen.

Da Tiantian subconsciously looked towards the screen.

Accompanied by a fierce "coin-making ditty", the perspective that had been lying on the shoulder of the protagonist of the video suddenly withdrew, and what immediately came into Da Tiantian's eyes was a huge knife music pattern.

In the middle of the pattern, Franklin's face made up of lines comes to life.

"He was actually drawing Franklin's face on the US dollar?!" Da Tiantian suddenly realized.

"The enemy."

Da Tiantian tapped the space bar to pause the video, then carefully looked at the coins on the screen again, then exclaimed in shock.

“I didn’t expect you guys would actually draw the coin.”

"Of course, after all, this is something that has already appeared in the movie... Could it be that you haven't read the script of 'Wushuang'?"

"Of course not." Da Tiantian immediately shook her head: "But I thought the process of making coins was just a casual remark, I didn't expect you to actually reproduce it."

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "In fact, we not only reproduced it, but also specially made some samples. After testing, at least ordinary people who don't have special research on coins can't tell whether it's real or fake."

Da Tiantian: ???

What Zhou Mo said seemed normal at first. Copying props from movies was not uncommon, such as Batman's armor in "Arkham Knight". It was just that the copied items this time were more special.

But when it comes to the second half of the sentence, it sounds wrong.

"Did you find someone to try it?"
