Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 802 Director Zhou, please take us to the front again (6K4)
The second story of "The Doctor" is completely different from the first story, but it is equally interesting and closer to the lives of ordinary people.

Although the director’s story sounds exciting and exaggerated, it gives people a feeling of “Oh, so this is what the medical industry is like.”

But they can’t hear or even touch upon any relationships with provinces, universities, or pharmaceutical companies.

And the second story, medication, housing, seeing a doctor...

These things are closely related to them.

Relationships, doctor-patient relationships, fear of being cheated.

These are the things that ordinary people who seek medical treatment value most.

Zhou Mo turned off the software that played the video and was quite satisfied with the content of this episode.

Through the communication between Xiao Tang and Xiao Yang, "The Doctor" successfully demonstrates some of the most basic things in the actual operation of a hospital.

For example, salary and bonus.

Each hospital has different rules and the way of awarding bonuses is also different.

For example, Xiao Yang and his group have a typical pyramid-style profit sharing system.

When the department's income and expenditure surplus is distributed at the end of the month, the director gets it first, with the largest share; then the head nurse gets the second largest share, followed by the deputy director, chief physician, and ordinary nurses...

The reason why Xiao Yang has such a strong resentment is that her department director is the kind of person who has reached retirement age but is unwilling to retire and tries every means to stay in the department and make as much money as possible.

The director is only concerned with making money and has never thought about the development of the department. He goes on business trips or studies every few days and is away from the hospital for three out of five days a week.

People like this just don't want to deal with things when they encounter them, and they will push them away if they can.

As the director was unwilling to retire, the people under him could not move up, so they did not want to take on the main responsibility.

If you carry the heavy responsibility, the suffering will be your own and the fame will go to others.

Not only do you not get any benefits, but you are also working for free.

Why bother.

This situation actually comes from a friend Zhou Mo knows. He works in a hospital and the situation in his department is similar to the above description.

So when arranging this paragraph of dialogue, I wrote it in a particularly realistic way.

Liu Jin saw Zhou Mo finished reading and asked.

"What do you think, Director Zhou?"

"That's great. If the entire show is of this quality, the show will definitely do very well in the end. I can guarantee that in advance."

"Director Zhou, you can rest assured that I will be watching the production of 'The Doctor' throughout the entire process and will definitely maintain the quality throughout the entire process."

When Zhou Mo heard this, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"Director Liu, are you interested in trying for the award again?"

Liu Jin's expression changed, and his heart instantly became hot.

"Director Zhou is talking about... Magnolia?"

Zhou Mo nodded and said with a smile: "I don't need to introduce Bai Yulan any more. Director Liu is very familiar with her."

Liu Jin nodded, a smile appearing on his face.

It's indeed very familiar.

He is the director of "White Deer Plain", which won the Magnolia Awards for Best TV Series and Best Director this year.

It was also after the Magnolia Banquet that Zhou Mo invited their crew to participate in the filming of "The Doctor", and brought in a lot of people, from the director to the leading actor.

Liu Jin calmed down a bit and said to Zhou Mo, "Since Director Zhou has brought it up, there must be a detailed plan. Can you tell me about it?"

Zhou Mo actually didn't have any plan, it was just a sudden idea to win the prize.

In my impression, next year's Magnolia will be a year of midday sunshine.

This year, Noon Sunshine won a lot of awards at the Magnolia Awards.

"Like a Flowing River" and "All Is Well" dominated the Magnolia Awards and won the awards with great pleasure.

In this life, Zhou Mo had already acquired "All Is Well" and planned to arrange his own company to shoot it, but it has not started yet and is scheduled to start shooting next year.

It just so happens that he and Yao Chen don't get along well, so the female lead must be given to someone else.

You can try Yuanquan and Qinhai Road.

Both of them are up to standard in terms of style and acting skills.

Apart from these two, speaking of acting skills alone, Liu Lin, who plays the eldest lady, and Tong the shopkeeper are also good, but their styles are not quite suitable.

The last candidate is naturally our old friend Mr. Zhou.

It can be selected and meets the requirements, but the cost performance is too low.

This year, Mr. Zhou and Lao Huo made too much money from "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace". It is estimated that no one will come to them in the short term.

There is no need to change other people. Ni Dahong and Guo Jingfei are our own people and can go on stage at any time.

Without "All Is Well" and only "A Flowing River" was left, Zhou Mo felt that with the quality of "The Doctor", it would have a chance to win the Best TV Series, Best Actor, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor and Actress.

As for why it was not nominated for Best Director.

Liu Jin just won the Best Director award this year. If he wins it again next year, the probability is infinitely less than zero.

After Liu Jin explained Zhou Mo's ideas, he nodded in approval.

He knew that he couldn't win the Best Director award for the second time in a row, but on the other hand, with the quality of "The Doctor", if he couldn't win the Best Director award, his chances of winning the Best TV Series award would increase.

Share the pork.

Compensation mechanism.

"I think there is a good chance, we can give it a try." Liu Jin agreed to Zhou Mo's proposal.

Zhou Mo clapped his hands together.

"Then we two can be considered as heroes with similar ideas. After we finish filming this drama, we will try to release it before the Spring Festival. It will be a good time and can also bring some extra traffic to the TV series."

The two talked in the room for an entire afternoon, and all the topics revolved around the details of Magnolia.

As the two people who won the Magnolia Awards this year, including Best TV Series, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress, they have studied the Magnolia Awards thoroughly.

"First of all, it is the judges. Their opinions directly affect the evaluation of the awards." Liu Jin put forward the first opinion.

Zhou Mo: "That's easy."

Among the judges for next year's Magnolia Awards, the chairman of the jury is Gao Xixi, an old acquaintance of ours. They even worked together when filming "Chu and Han".

In addition to Gao Xixi, there is also Huang Zhizhong on the judges panel.

And an old acquaintance.

We have collaborated on several works.

Zhou Mo thought for a moment and added, "It will probably be a month before the judges for next year's Magnolia Awards are announced. Then we can discuss it and try to contact them all."

Seeing that Zhou Mo was confident, Liu Jin nodded.

"The next step is the second one. We need to contact the people in Shanghai, including the TV station and the Radio and Television Bureau."

"That's easy to say. We've already contacted each other before. As long as the subsequent performance of 'The Doctor' is good, it's completely possible."

Liu Jin was completely speechless now.

Wow, your company has so many resources that I can’t even say anything.

However, he is becoming more and more confident about winning awards for "The Doctor".

……

That night, Liu Jin directly called the leading actors out for a meal.

At the banquet, Liu Jin, as the director, announced the decision he had discussed with Zhou Mo during the day.

"Everyone, I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you something. After discussing with Director Zhou, we plan to have 'The Doctor' compete in the Magnolia Awards next year."

When they suddenly heard the news, everyone subconsciously raised their heads.

Among them, everyone from the "White Deer Plain" crew looked at Liu Jin.

Everyone from Victory 3 looked at Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo just noticed that there were less than ten people in the room for today's meal, and they were all from the two crews of "White Deer Plain" and "Victory 3".

Zhang Jiayi, Qin Hailu, Guo Jingfei, Zhou Yiwei...

Oh.

Except Tang Yan.

She is beyond the Three Realms and not within the Five Elements.

After a while, Guo Jingfei suddenly said something.

"Director Zhou, if we compete, will we naturally have negative buffs?"

Zhou Mo looked at him: "What do you mean?"

Guo Jingfei spread his hands and said, "Isn't it obvious? Basically, everyone sitting in the room has something to do with this year's Magnolia.

No matter what the Magnolia Awards say, they won’t give us all the awards so easily. They will probably have higher expectations of us.”

Zhou Mo asked him: "Even if the evaluation standards are higher, you can just tell me whether you want to win the prize or not."

"Of course you want to win the prize." Guo Jingfei said without hesitation.

Zhou Mo spread his hands and said, "That's it. If you want to win an award, it doesn't matter if they are strict or not. Just act hard and that's fine."

Liu Jin also added: "The matters concerning the judges and the organizers are issues that Director Zhou and I need to consider seriously. The most important thing for you is to act."

This is the truth, and everyone nodded when they heard it.

Over the next half of the meal, the atmosphere in the room became noticeably more lively.

Everyone was a little more excited than in the previous half.

Come to think of it, anyone who sees the white magnolia twice in front of their eyes would probably be unable to control their excitement.

And just like that, the time came to ten o'clock in the evening.

The meal is over.

Before leaving, Liu Jin specifically reminded them: "As for the competition for next year's Magnolia Awards, you should keep it a secret when you go back. It's still early now, and leaking the news will only cause unnecessary trouble."

The news was announced today so that all the leading actors can give their best in the upcoming performances.

A dinner party with less than ten people is easy to control and there is no need to worry about the news spreading around.

Everyone responded.

"Don't worry, Director."

"I know the director."

They are all veterans in the entertainment industry, and they all understand the truth.

It is true that you need to create hype when competing for awards, but creating hype too early will only ruin your work. It is pure self-graving and only a fool would do that.

A moment later, Zhou Mo returned to the hotel.

As soon as he entered the room, Tang Yan pushed him onto the bed.

"Well, such a big thing as the prize-winning project, you didn't even tell me in advance, and kept it secret until today before releasing the news. You must have had a hard time hiding it from me."

As Tang Yan spoke, she gently pinched Zhou Mo's flesh.

Among the circle of white magnolias, she is the only "outsider".

Although she knew it had nothing to do with her, she still felt embarrassed.

Zhou Mo put his hands together and made an "apology" gesture.

"I'm sorry, but I really didn't mean to hide it from you. The idea of ​​winning the award was something that Director Liu and I came up with this afternoon."

Tang Yan was stunned.

An idea that just came to you this afternoon?
"How can this be?"

"What's impossible about this?" Zhou Mo asked back.

Tang Yan pursed her lips and said, "For something as big as winning an award, shouldn't we start planning from the moment we write the script, or at the latest when the TV series is approved, we should start preparing. All subsequent filming should revolve around this process, and the subsequent operations, publicity, contacts, etc., should not take several months?"

Zhou Mo smiled.

"What you said makes sense, but don't forget how many resources our play has. All the processes you mentioned have already been prepared for "The Doctor"."

Tang Yan thought so too. She wanted to nod, but when she saw Zhou Mo's smug expression, she forced herself to hold back and continued to ask:

"So after discussing with Director Liu, are you going to strive for those awards?"

Zhou Mo glanced at her and smiled secretly.

mock up.

I don't know what you mean?
He counted on his fingers: "Movie, director, script, male lead, supporting actor."

Tang Yan listened to Zhou Mo's words of award after award, and her eyes gradually brightened. After Zhou Mo finished saying the word "supporting actor" and stopped, she suddenly came back to her senses after a long while.

"Gone?"

"No." Zhou Mo nodded slightly.

"What about the leading actress and supporting actress roles? Aren't you going to fight for them?"

When Zhou Mo heard these words, the curve of his mouth immediately became lively.

"Why are you asking about these two awards? Is it because you want to compete for them?"

Tang Yan choked and said in a stammering voice, "It's Sister Lu. She is qualified to win the award anyway. Don't you want to consider her?"

Zhou Mo waved his hand: "Let's talk about her later. Now let's talk about your business. Tell me first, do you want to attack Bai Yulan?"

Tang Yan didn't say anything, but her breathing became noticeably heavier.

Zhou Mo didn't say anything either, just kept looking at her with a smile.

Tang Yan became more and more annoyed by Zhou Mo's gaze. After a long while, she gave up struggling and said, "I want an award, okay? I really want one, especially since several teachers in the crew have won awards. I really envy them, and I want to win one, too."

I was originally expressing some envy, but I started to choke at the end.

Zhou Mo handed over the tissue in time. Tang Yan took it and punched Zhou Mo twice as if to vent her anger.

"It's all your fault. You forced me to say it. Are you satisfied now?"

Zhou Mo said with a smile: "That's right, if you want to win the award, just say so. It's not something that can't be brought up. Besides, this is not your first time to win an award."

As they were talking, an event from the past was revealed.

As early as 07, Tang Yan filmed a movie called "Parting is Also Love".

Through this movie, Tang Yan was nominated for the Best Actress Award at the Magnolia Awards.

You have to remember that was 07.

"Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" hasn't even started filming yet.

Yang Mi was just starting to make a name for herself, while Liu Shishi was even less well-known.

Tang Yan was nominated for the Magnolia Award so early, which can be said to be her "peak of career at debut."

But everyone knows what happened next.

This person turned his guns around and went to film an idol drama.

Later, if Zhou Mo hadn't corrected her, she would have developed a habit called "silly and sweet".

It can be said to open high and end low.

Tang Yan rolled her eyes at him.

"Rubbing salt into my wounds, huh?"

Zhou Mo explained: "What I mean is, since you were nominated for the Magnolia Award in 07, you can be nominated now."

Tang Yan was a little discouraged.

"So what if it was 07? I don't have the ability to win awards right now."

"Who told you that you don't have the ability to win the prize? I think you do."

Tang Yan was obviously stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou Mo with a frown.

"You really don't need to coax me about this. I know my situation. When it comes to winning awards, I'm much worse than others right now."

Zhou Mo coughed lightly.

"How should I put it? Winning a prize depends not only on personal ability, but also on timing and location. Sometimes the latter is even more important."

There was a look of confusion in Tang Yan's eyes.

After a while she shook her head.

"don't know."

Quite honest.

Zhou Mo said clearly: "What I mean is that next year might be a good opportunity to win the prize. The competition won't be that fierce."

Tang Yan's eyes lit up and she subconsciously grabbed Zhou Mo's arm.

"How to say?"

"You can find out if you do some statistics on this kind of thing. In just over a month, the call for entries for next year's Magnolia Awards will begin, and we basically have an idea of ​​which works will be able to participate in next year's competition.

From the current perspective, there won’t be many works that can truly compete with “The Doctor” next year, and there won’t be many people who can compete with you either.”

If you want to win a prize, understanding your competitors is a must.

In Zhou Mo's impression, the competition for both the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress in the 19 Magnolia Awards was not particularly difficult, and the signs of operation were very obvious.

Especially in the Best Supporting Actress award, Tong Yao (Song Yunping in "A Flowing River") defeated Liu Lin (The Lady in "The Story of Minglan"), which is very telling.

Well, since Tong Yao can make it work, Zhou Mo can also make it work.

Tang Yan also understood what Zhou Mo meant and immediately took out her cell phone to look for messages.

Zhou Mo wanted to laugh as he watched her typing on her phone.

"Why don't you just ask me? Why bother searching one by one? If that doesn't work, just call your agent and ask."

"No, I have to confirm this kind of thing myself before I can completely let go of my worries."

Tang Yan shook her head. Since she hadn't paid much attention to winning awards in recent years, it took her a while to confirm the list of people who might participate in the Magnolia Awards next year.

Looking at the names she had marked on her phone, she murmured subconsciously:
"That's true."

Then, a rather strong emotion exploded in her mind.

Magnolia.

A TV festival launched locally in Shanghai.

Tang Yan turned her head quickly and stared at Zhou Mo with burning eyes.

"I want to attack Magnolia!"

Zhou Mo snapped his fingers: "I've been waiting for you to say this."

He stood up immediately, imported a piece of information from his mobile phone to the computer, and began to analyze it for Tang Yan.

Apart from the lists that Tang Yan just found, what remains is the decision for the two female role awards.

"I personally suggest that you strive for the Best Supporting Actress award. Best Actress is not a good idea. Teacher Jiang Wenli has an entire circle running the place. They have so many resources that even I may not be able to outdo her."

Three days ago, Jiang Wenli and Ni Dahong’s new work "The Little Woman of Zhengyang Gate" was officially broadcast.

As soon as it was broadcast, the ratings topped the list of 52 cities across the country, with a good result of 1.26%, standing out from the crowd.

The director of this drama, Liu Jiacheng (the one who directed "A Courtyard Full of Love", a representative of the Beijing circle), has finally changed his past style of torturing the protagonist throughout the whole process. He only tortured the protagonist in the early stage of "Little Women" (the heroine lost her husband just after giving birth to a child, and took on the responsibility of raising the child and inheriting the family business). From the middle stage onwards, he constantly arranged highlight moments for the heroine, allowing her to run a business, overcome difficulties, and develop the business... and so on.

And it was with this drama that Jiang Wenli defeated Yao Chen from All Is Well in her previous life and won the Best Actress Award at the 19 Magnolia Awards.

Tang Yan nodded without any doubt.

She has watched "The Little Woman of Zhengyang Gate" and she is absolutely no match for Teacher Jiang Wenli.

"There's no problem with the Supporting Actress award, I can totally accept it."

Zhou Mo nodded. As long as Tang Yan was willing to compete for the Best Supporting Actress award, everything else would be easy.

"Since it's already been decided, you should shoot well in the next period of time. I will stay on the crew for a few more days and try to shoot Xiao Tang's highlights in the later stages better for you."

When Tang Yan heard this, she immediately became happy.

He hugged Zhou Mo's neck and gave him a warm hug.

"You said it, whether I can win the prize or not depends on you."

Zhou Mo lay down on the bed leisurely.

"Then how well I can take the photo depends on you."

Tang Yan rolled her eyes at Zhou Mo.

"It's an advantage for you."

……

After a period of treatment.

Tang Yan sat on the edge of the bed and suddenly sighed.

Zhou Mo immediately opened his eyes and asked very vigilantly:

"What are you sighing about?"

Tang Yan was startled by Zhou Mo's action and answered subconsciously:
"No sigh... Wait, what's that expression on your face? Are you thinking about some nonsense again?"

Zhou Mo asked back: "What do you mean?! You are sitting on the bed and sighing at this time. Should I light another cigarette for you?"

He can tolerate a lot of things.

But this kind of thing can never be tolerated, okay?

This must be explained clearly.

Tang Yan looked at Zhou Mo's nervous expression and burst out laughing.

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice the kid's emotions... Ahem, I sighed mainly because I suddenly thought of Sister Lu. If I compete for the Best Supporting Actress award next year, she would be giving way to me. I always feel a little guilty."

There are two important female characters in "The Doctor", Qin Hailu and Tang Yan.

The two characters' roles are actually similar in terms of the plot.

Qin Hailu’s character is a veteran who knows a lot about many things, but he doesn’t get involved. He just watches from the other side of the river and takes things lightly.

Tang Yan’s character is a young man who doesn’t understand a lot of details and needs to grope his way forward bit by bit. He makes mistakes but makes rapid progress.

Both characters have their own difficulties and their own highlights.

At the beginning, because of Zhou Mo, Tang Yan's position might be closer to the front.

But with more than a month of filming and the adjustment and modification of the plot, Qin Hailu's position may become more important.

Now, since Zhou Mo has decided that Tang Yan will compete for the Best Supporting Actress award.

The person who will challenge the heroine will definitely become Qin Hailu.

When Zhou Mo heard this, the heavy stone in his heart fell back into his stomach.

It turned out to be Qin Hailu’s business.

Then it'll be fine.

"That's easy to say. When Sister Lu won the Magnolia Award for Best Supporting Actress for Red Sorghum two years ago, it was actually due to the efforts of Shanhe Company. In addition, she has already won a Best Supporting Actress award, so the possibility of winning another one in a short period of time is not great. She will definitely understand this situation, don't worry."

For the sake of objectivity, awards are generally not given consecutively to the same actor.

Zhou Mo asked Tang Yan to relax and not feel too guilty about this kind of thing.

The competition for awards has always been so fierce!
"If you really feel bad, then treat them to a few more meals and keep in touch with them."

Tang Yan hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhou Mo and said:

"I remember that you have a good relationship with Sister Lu, and she has a contract with your company to hire her as a tutor?"

Zhou Mo immediately understood what Tang Yan meant.

"Why, you want to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha?"

Tang Yan felt a little embarrassed when her thoughts were revealed.

He gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Yes!"

Zhou Mo laughed at her expression that said, "Do whatever you want. I'll give you these dozens of pounds."

Smiling and waving hands.

"My cooperation with Sister Lu is a win-win situation. Even if you don't tell me, I will still cooperate with her. Don't worry."

Qin Hailu, the 22-year-old winner of the Academy Awards, has won the National First-Class Actor award at a young age. For such actors, Shanhe Company has always been the first to contact them when there is a suitable role. If they don't want it, they will choose someone else.

Tang Yan said "Oh" and felt a lot more relaxed.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Zhou Mo stretched lazily.

"Are you relieved now?"

"Reassured."

"In that case, how about a third round?"

"Um???"
