Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 812: Vertical and Horizontal Release

Whether from the perspective of pay or cooperation, it is unlikely that Stephen Chow will choose Yoona to film with him.

After hearing Zhou Mo's reminder, Lin Yuner immediately said, "It's okay, Director Zhou. I'm already very satisfied to be able to film "The Mermaid". I don't ask for more."

Zhou Mo nodded slightly, "It's good that you think this way. Mermaid 2 may not be a good choice for you now."

Lin Yuna heard something from Zhou Mo's words.

"Director Zhou means that The Mermaid 2 might not be very good?"

"I don't know." Zhou Mo shook his head, and then added: "But I know that it may be difficult for Zhou Xingxing himself to have the energy to make another movie like the first "Mermaid"."

During the filming of "The Mermaid", Zhou Mo relied on medical beauty to allow Stephen Chow to return to filming movies, which eventually earned 4 billion yuan at the box office.

This number is an almost insurmountable mountain, not to mention for Stephen Chow, but even for the entire Chinese film industry.

In this case, do you suggest letting Stephen Chow continue to star in a movie called "The Mermaid 2"?
how is this possible.

If he didn't act, he would be the 4 billion dollar actor + director in the audience's mind who is known to be good or not as soon as he makes a move.

If I perform in the show, what if it fails?
But if he didn't act, there's no way other actors could have brought the movie to the level he did.

Again:
Only Stephen Chow himself can act well in a movie like Stephen Chow's.

No one else can do it.

……

After the dinner.

Zhou Mo returned to the room.

When I entered the door, Da Tiantian happened to be still on the phone.

"Well, I will go back tomorrow and try to draft the contract as soon as possible. It's already December, and there are only two months left until the Spring Festival next year. We must sign the contract as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late."

Da Tiantian has just checked the release time of "The New King of Comedy".

The first day of the Spring Festival.

During the day on February 2th of next year in the Gregorian calendar.

If we don't take advantage of this period of time when the big money is available to get the contract done, what will we do when the Spring Festival comes and "The New King of Comedy" comes out and the big and small kings regret not buying it?
After a moment, Da Tiantian hung up the phone.

Just as I was about to drink some water, a glass of water appeared at hand.

"Is the party over?"

"Yes, I have already notified Yoona."

Da Tiantian paused while drinking water, feeling a little embarrassed.

Only then did she remember that she had called the person over, but turned around and forgot about him.

"What did Yoona say?"

"Yoona thinks it's okay. I explained to her that the outcome of "Mermaid 2" is unlikely to be very bad, and she understood."

Da Tiantian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as you understand it, that's fine.

"That's good... By the way, I just found some news about Zhou Xingxing."

"what?"

“After The Mermaid, he signed a bet with someone for a large sum, and the total box office of Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back did not exceed 2 billion as expected, so he is under a lot of pressure now.

This is probably why he wants to get back the rights to the subsequent filming of "The Mermaid". "

So that's what happened.

In his previous life, Zhou Mo had heard about Zhou Xingxing’s gambling. The amount was huge, and the final result was not very good.

I hadn't heard of this news when I was working with Stephen Chow on "The Mermaid" in this life. I guess I got involved with it later.

Zhou Mo said to Da Tiantian: "It seems that it is more likely that we can sell at a high price this time."

Da Tiantian nodded immediately.

"Just wait and see. If I get the contract this time, it will be a great start for our company, the first order of the year!"

……

The next day.

After a night of hard work, Da Tiantian flew back to Yanjing early in the morning to start her own business operations. Zhou Mo stayed in Xiangcheng for another two days and wandered around.

During this period, Cheng Long invited Zhou Mo to dinner several times, but Zhou Mo declined every time.

He can walk around the city easily by himself with some makeup on, and no one will notice him.

If you bring a cage with you, you will become too big a target.

It just so happens that both of them don't have a very good reputation here. If they were to run into some extremely hostile people, God knows what would happen.

three days later.

Late December.

Zhou Mo took a plane to Kimchi.

After four months, "The Blue House" is finally ready to be released in both places.

In the past hundred years of Korean culture, news about "Zongheng" has been spreading in major media since more than a week ago.

The audience’s expectations are quite high, and they have left messages saying “witness the moment of destiny” under the promotional video of “The Blue House”.

As for whose fate we are witnessing… I can only say that the target is huge.

As soon as he got off the plane, Zhou Mo got into the car arranged by Lee Boo-jin.

After getting in the car, Li Fuzhen's secretary explained: "Director Zhou, Mr. Li suddenly had an urgent matter today, so I was unable to come to greet you. I am very sorry..."

Zhou Mo smiled and said, "It's okay. Mr. Li is very busy, so I understand."

Ever since Zhou Mo signed a contract with Lee Boo-jin and invested in Acid Star, he is now at least one of the people behind Acid Star.

When Lee Boo-jin works, it means she makes money for him.

Just be busy.

There is no reason not to forgive.

When the secretary heard this, he immediately expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for your understanding."

"So where are we going now?"

"Go directly to the headquarters. Mr. Li said that he will wait for you in the office after he finishes his business."

On the way, Zhou Mo chatted with his secretary about Lee Boo-jin's recent situation.

After Lee Boo-jin recently took over a lot of power in Samsung, she did not give up a series of original businesses such as Everland and Shilla Hotel, and she is still in charge of the whole process.

On the one hand, industries such as Everland and Shilla Hotel are equivalent to her foundation. With the achievements of these industries, she can attract more support.

On the other hand, these industries also serve as her retreat.

If she really fails in this power grab, she can at least return to Aibao and continue her real estate and medical beauty business.

A moment later, we arrived at Sour Star Company.

With his secretary leading the way, Zhou Mo arrived at Li Fuzhen's office smoothly.

After knocking on the door, the secretary explained the situation.

Zhou Mo pushed the door open and was stunned when he saw the person inside.

In addition to Lee Boo-jin herself, there was also Zhou Mo's other partner, Lin Shiling, the head of Elephant Group.

"Long time no see, you two." Zhou Mo was the first to greet them.

The two responded immediately.

"Long time no see, Director Zhou."

"Congratulations on winning the Golden Lion Award, Director Zhou."

"You're welcome."

None of the three were the type to drag their feet, and after a few polite words, Zhou Mo quickly asked about the news of "Zong Wa Dae".

"There shouldn't be any problems with the movie's promotion during this period."

When Lee Boo-jin heard this, a smile appeared on her lips.

"Of course no problem, next we just have to wait for the movie to be released."
