Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 783 New Nickname, The Strongest in the Empire

After the two finished chatting, Lin Yoona also finished viewing the trophy.

Lin Yoona walked over with the trophy in her hands, looking very happy.

"Director Zhou, Sister Tiantian."

Zhou Mo took the trophy and said, "Yun'er, how does it feel to win the Golden Lion Award? You are a great contributor to our winning this time."

Lin Yuna felt a little embarrassed.

"Director Zhou, please stop teasing me. I just made a cameo appearance in the crew. I don't have much credit at all."

"I mean, you served as my translator, which brought a lot of convenience to the filming of the movie. This contribution is very important. What reward do you want?"

Lin Yuna waved her hands repeatedly.

"It is my honor to be Director Zhou's translator, and Director Zhou also let me play a role. I am already very satisfied and do not need any reward."

Da Tiantian took over the conversation.

"That won't do. Don't forget, Yuner, our company's main principle is to reward those who have made contributions."

She thought about it and gave an idea: "How about this, you can also play a role in the Parasite crew later, but I have to make it clear to you in advance that I can only give you a supporting role because the main roles have all been decided."

Lin Yuna subconsciously widened her eyes, with a mixture of shock and excitement.

"Ah? Is it really okay?"

"Of course, you can just go to the crew with us and feel at ease." Da Tiantian gave Lin Yoona a reassuring pill.

Lin Yuna looked at Zhou Mo.

"Will Director Zhou also go with us?"

Zhou Mo nodded.

One sheep is herded, and two sheep are herded.

There is actually no difference.

For the next period of time, people came and went at the banquet and kept communicating.

Naturally, Zhou Mo's side had the most people and the most complicated purposes.

Those who want to get acquainted, those who want to cooperate, those who want to invest, those who dare to show their love...

Until the end, Zhou Mo couldn't stand the burning gazes of the two male actors from the Daying Empire, and ran away with an excuse.

On the way back to the hotel, Da Tiantian put Zhou Mo's head on her shoulder and patted his body gently.

"Okay, okay, it's okay."

Although her words were meant to comfort her, the expression on her face betrayed her thoughts.

I want to laugh but I can't.

Zhou Mo leaned on Da Tiantian and sighed.

"I really thought those two wanted to discuss cooperation."

Da Tiantian kept taking deep breaths to regulate her heartbeat.

It's really too hard to hold.

No.

She had to change the subject to divert attention, otherwise she would not be able to hold it in.

"By the way, where are you going to film the background of the movie "Parasite"?"

Zhou Mo didn't say anything.

The setting of Parasite has not yet been decided
The original work is set in Kimchi, so there's nothing wrong with the content of the movie taking place there.

However, the same content would not be suitable if the background setting is in the mainland.

It’s not that similar things haven’t happened in the mainland.

This kind of thing is bound to happen. With a population of 1.4 billion, what kind of strange things are impossible to happen?
It happens all the time that a person's family property is defrauded by tutors, nannies, or close friends. You can find out by searching the news.

Some stories are even more amazing than Parasite.

It’s just not so blatant, and the audience may not recognize it.

In comparison, Xiangcheng should be more suitable.

There are indeed many wealthy families there, and their daily lives still maintain the style of decades ago, with butlers and servants.

"Let's go back and see what Lao Mouzi thinks. It should be more convenient to go to Xiangcheng."

"Then when we get back, let's take some photos of the Great Wall first?"

"Ah."

After returning to the hotel, Da Tiantian went to wash up first.

Zhou Mo went online to read some domestic news.

At this moment, the news of his successful winning of the prize has spread all over the Internet.

"Another prize."

“The first triple gold medalist in the new century.”

“The path to fame for a genius director.”

“I am moving into the future – a director’s monologue.”

Zhou Mo was so depressed by the exaggerated headlines that he wished he could dig out a two-bedroom apartment from the ground.

It's too abstract.

Also monologue.

Suddenly, Zhou Mo saw a Japanese report among many Chinese reports.

The publisher is the company in which he invested.

"The Empire's Strongest Supervisor."

grass.

It really is a simple life.

The second disease is really deep-rooted.

"These people...can't they write more about movies?"

Many viewers are not that interested in gold awards or anything like that.

Audiences don’t care about A-class film festivals, European and Asian film festivals, or awards like Best Actor and Best Actress.

What they care most about is the movie itself.

If it looks good, I will support it.

If you don’t like it, stay away.

For them, awards are a criterion for judging whether a movie is worth watching.

Winning an award means that the film itself is likely to be of good quality.

Worth a look.

This is enough.

The rest really doesn't matter.

As for Zhou Mo, he hopes to use the title of the gold award to increase the number of times "The Blue House" appears in front of the audience, thereby attracting audiences to the cinema.

Zhou Mo scrolled down again until he saw the reports from several of his own platforms, and then he felt a little satisfied.

"That's right, talk more about the movie and prepare for its subsequent release."

There was a squeak.

The bathroom door was opened.

Da Tiantian came out with wet hair.

"What happened to you just now? I heard you in the bathroom."

"Nothing much, it's just that the online reports on this gold award are a bit abstract."

Da Tiantian took a closer look and also saw the Japanese report.

One of them couldn't hold it back and laughed like the Soul Palace Master in "Fights Break Sphere".

"Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie."

Da Tiantian covered her belly with one hand and pointed at the screen with the other.

"The Empire's Strongest Director, you, Director Zhou, have even earned a nickname!"

Zhou Mo's mouth twitched as he listened to Da Tiantian's laughter.

This kind of thing of giving others nicknames is not the first time.

A typical example is the field of sports events. Xiao Ri Zi has given nicknames to many Chinese athletes.

Typical examples are "The Empire's Destroyer Dragon" and "The Empire's Fierce Tiger".

These two are the current national table tennis players.

Ma and Zhang.

In addition, there is also the "Deep Sea Devil".

This nickname represents Sun Yang from the swimming team.

Da Tiantian laughed for a long time until her stomach started to hurt, and then she controlled her emotions.

Seeing that Zhou Mo still had a distorted look on his face, he patted him gently on the shoulder.

"To be honest, I think these people have no other intentions. They just think you are awesome, so they gave you this nickname."

This is true.

The people who are given nicknames in daily life must be world champions or among the top few in the world.

Similar titles can't really be considered cheap.

Zhou Mo sighed, too lazy to think about these messy nicknames and titles anymore.

Take a shower first, and then talk about the others after you finish showering.

After a while, Zhou Mo finished cleaning.

As soon as I walked out of the bathroom, Da Tiantian handed me the phone.

"A lot of people called just now, mostly asking about your return time, saying they wanted to celebrate with you or something like that." "Who are they?"

"I answered the call from Director Tong and told him that I was busy and would get back to him later. As for other calls from investors, I simply didn't answer them."

"Row."

Zhou Mo nodded, took the phone and called Director Tong.

After some pleasantries, we agreed on a time and then turned off our phones.

Seeing this, Da Tiantian asked: "You're not going to reply to other people's letters?"

"Well, that's not necessary. If you want to invest and find a company, there's no need for a celebration party. Go back and shoot the movie early to avoid delaying work and missing the Spring Festival schedule."

Da Tiantian's eyes lit up.

"So, we'll be back soon?"

Zhou Mo thought for a moment and said, "I'll finish the interviews I need to take tomorrow and try to go back before the day after tomorrow."

Da Tiantian was obviously in a much more relaxed mood.

She had a great time in Italy for so many days and felt relieved to go home early.

"Do we need to arrange for someone to escort you home? You're almost like a giant panda now. If we don't find a few more people, you might not even be able to leave the airport."

"There's no need for that. Just spread some fake news and run away quietly."

He had already experienced the excitement of winning a gold medal after winning the Oscars.

To put it simply, it’s just four words.

It's both fun and tiring.

To be honest, it is often really nice to be praised by others.

Especially in places like the entertainment industry, there are an outrageous number of people with good eloquence.

When it comes to praising someone, the words flow like water.

But after the socializing was over, I couldn’t eat enough, couldn’t sleep well, and felt extremely tired.

"No matter, go to sleep!"

Zhou Mo took off his coat and prepared to go watch the lights.

However, before he could reach out, there was an object in his hand.

I looked down and saw that it was the Golden Lion Trophy.

When he looked up again, Da Tiantian was staring at him.

. . . . . .
three days later.

Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian flew back to Beijing.

After arriving home, I didn’t go to the company or contact anyone. I had a good sleep and slept until normal time. Then I went to the company full of energy.

The first thing to do when entering the company is to give out red envelopes.

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work during this period. As usual, everyone will receive a red envelope, which will be transferred directly from the account to everyone in a while!"

Da Tiantian’s words caused cheers.

"May the sweet princess live a long life."

“I wish Shanhe Company will become bigger and stronger.”

After the announcement, Da Tiantian returned to the office.

Zhou Mo was about to speak, but noticed that she didn't seem very interested.

"What happened? Why do you look like that?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered when we first established the company and said we would give out red envelopes, and we spent the whole night wrapping them up."

"Why, do you want to do it again?"

Da Tiantian rolled her eyes at him.

"What are you thinking? We have so many people in our company now. It will take a long time to wrap a red envelope in person."

"Then hire someone."

"That's even worse. If I want to give a red envelope, it must be done in person to make it meaningful." Da Tiantian is very persistent about this kind of thing.

Zhou Mo smiled and said nothing more.

In fact, the idea of ​​giving red envelopes to employees personally was just something he mentioned casually, but Da Tiantian took it to heart and kept giving red envelopes for several years until the company grew bigger and had more and more employees, and she gave up because she couldn't give all the red envelopes.

At this time, the assistant came in with a stack of documents in his arms.

"Director Zhou, Sister Tiantian."

"Are you here? You've been working hard on the company's affairs during this period. In addition to the basic red envelope, I will give you an extra red envelope as a bonus."

The assistant expressed his gratitude happily without hesitation.

“Thank you, both bosses!”

Then, he placed the information on the table.

"Boss, the crew of Eastern Han is almost ready and can start at any time."

"it is good."

Zhou Mo opened the work schedule.

"We'll have three meals in the next two days, and after that we can go to film."

Da Tiantian is ready to go. She has been waiting for this movie for a long time. She has been exercising, controlling her weight, and shaping her body. If she doesn't start filming, she will probably have to relax her diet.

"It's a good opportunity to contact Deng Chao and Sun Li in the next two days and ask them to adjust their condition. Then we can start right away when we join the group."

"Okay." The assistant nodded and turned to leave.

The protagonists of "Eastern Han Dynasty" were finally determined to be Deng Chao (Liu Xiu) and Hu Jun (Wang Mang).

After filming "Zhu Lou", Zhou Mo found that Deng Chao's condition was well adjusted this year. It happened that he would be called upon in the future filming of the Three Kingdoms period, so he simply made him the protagonist in the filming of "Eastern Han Dynasty" this time.

As for Hu Jun, there is nothing much to say, it is absolutely easy to use and absolutely reliable.

Da Tiantian took the materials brought by the assistant, took a look at them, and then her eyes widened.

"You really chose Hao Lei to play Guo Shengtong?"

"Yeah." Zhou Mo smiled happily.

"You really are..."

Da Tiantian let out a long breath and uttered three words: "Bad taste."

In "Eastern Han Dynasty", Hao Lei played the role of Guo Shengtong, Liu Xiu's first queen.

However, the ending of Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong was not very good.

The union between Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong was a marriage of alliance, but it was not the case with Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were together, he was the legendary little punk. But after Empress Ma gave him a cake, he decided to be with her for life.

Before Liu Xiu met Guo Shengtong, he had already met Yin Lihua and had set a historically famous ambition:

If you want to marry a wife, you should marry Yin Lihua.

Liu Xiu did marry Yin Lihua, and the couple had a very good relationship.

After the death of Liu Xiu's elder brother, Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan kept a close eye on Liu Xiu and always wanted to find an opportunity to kill him. During this period, it was Yin Lihua who accompanied Liu Xiu through these difficult days.

The person Liu Xiu committed to for life was not Guo Shengtong, but Yin Lihua.

Later, as the situation became chaotic, Liu Xiu was sent to Hebei to fight.

Here, he was appreciated by King Zhending Liu Yang.

Liu Yang wanted to form an alliance with Liu Xiu and married his niece Guo Shengtong to Liu Xiu.

After marrying Guo Shengtong, Liu Xiu went on expeditions to the east and the west, and became more powerful until he became emperor.

During this process, Guo Shengtong stayed with Liu Xiu, followed him in his campaigns, and gave birth to a son, Liu Jiang, with him.

However, after Liu Xiu became emperor, he brought Yin Lihua to his side, and his love and care for Yin Lihua increased day by day. Many of the rewards given to Yin Lihua and her family and relatives exceeded those given to Guo Shengtong.

Moreover, he even thought about changing the queen.

Later generations believed that Liu Xiu's idea was based on both personal feelings and his determination for Yin Lihua;

There are also political considerations, which refer to balancing the power of subordinates.

However, Yin Lihua dissuaded him from this idea.

Yin Lihua believed that Guo Shengtong had accompanied Liu Xiu all the way and had given birth to the crown prince Liu Jiang, so she had done nothing wrong and should not be replaced.

Liu Xiu therefore gave up the idea of ​​changing the queen, but it was only a temporary abandonment.

Later, King Zhending Liu Yang rebelled, and Liu Xiu put down the rebellion. As the niece of King Zhending, Guo Shengtong lost her support after her uncle's death.

Having lost her backer, and coupled with her emotional inability to let go, which led to various behaviors, such as frequently crying in front of Liu Xiu, Guo Shengtong was eventually replaced as queen.

After the replacement, Liu Xiu did not send Guo Shengtong directly to the cold palace like Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, did. Instead, he sent her to the North Palace and became the Queen Mother of Zhongshan (Liu Jiang also gave up his position as crown prince after his mother was replaced and was named King of Zhongshan by Liu Xiu). This can be regarded as a relatively gentle attitude of Liu Xiu.

But compared to the experience of Guo Shengtong accompanying Liu Xiu all the way, Liu Xiu's character belonging to the Liu family is still very obvious.

……

"Guo Shengtong is Hao Lei?"

Deng Chao felt his scalp tingling when he heard the news.

Zhou Mo said with a smile:

"Yes, I asked Teacher Hao to shoot the web drama version of "Siheyuan" before, and she acted so badly, so I owed her a favor, so I asked her to play Guo Shengtong this time. Brother Chao, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Deng Chao looked at Zhou Mo's expression, with thousands of words stuck in his mouth, and finally he said one sentence.

"No, no problem."

"That's all right, Brother Chao, you have a very important role in this movie, so you must adjust yourself well. If you have any questions, please tell me." Zhou Mo's expression became more and more sincere.

"No, it's no use telling you. It's useful to tell the queen."

Deng Chao complained in his heart.

The moment he heard Hao Lei's name, he understood what Zhou Mo meant.

All I can say is, it's very creative.

It almost killed him.
