Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 822: You won’t let these characters die, will you?

Chapter 822: You won’t let these characters die, will you?
"Director Zhou, after more than two years, this farce is finally over."

On the phone, Wang Baobao's voice trembled slightly.

And Zhou Mo immediately understood what Wang Baobao was referring to.

The Ma Song incident occurred in 16, exactly two years ago.

Being able to bring a person into this state even when even the people closest to him can't find any evidence against him shows that Ma and Song are capable.

"It's all in the past, baby. You still have to look forward. There's no need to waste too much energy on people who are not worth it." Zhou Mo comforted.

"I understand, Director Zhou. I have let it go now. I will be happy in the future and spend more time with my children. Other things don't matter.

In addition, I would like to thank Director Zhou for your help in this lawsuit. Without the legal team you called on for me, I might have wasted a lot of experience and time, and finally suffered an additional huge loss.

Director Zhou, you are my great benefactor!"

Wang Baobao expressed his gratitude to Zhou Mo very sincerely.

In this incident, although Zhou Mo did not appear many times from beginning to end, the help he provided to him was unmatched.

Help by providing manpower, help by providing support, and continue to help him until he has dealt with all the matters.

There is no one better than you!
Zhou Mo shook his head and had no intention of acknowledging the identity of this "benefactor".

"It's my duty to help. Not to mention our friendship over the years, even if we're just ordinary friends, I don't want a good actor to have his entire career affected by something other than acting."

When Wang Baobao heard this, he was so excited that you could hear his breathing through the phone.

"Director Zhou, I won't say anything more. From now on, I will do whatever you tell me to do as long as you give me an order."

Zhou Mo joked: "Then let's go be bandits."

"Dry!"

Wang Baobao said loudly: "Forget about being a bandit, I'm even willing to be a sea ghost!"

The two chatted and laughed for a while, agreed to meet in a few days, and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Mo was about to contact Da Tiantian, but Da Tiantian contacted him first.

Zhou Mo's heart tightened, and he thought to himself, could it be that the devil is here?

It would be so painful to lose a pie in the sky worth more than 100 million yuan.

Zhou Mo answered the phone immediately, "Tiantian, have you finished the plan you set up for the big and small Wang? If not, you may have to speed up the process."

Da Tiantian was stunned for a few seconds and then said "hey".

"What a coincidence! I called you to talk about this. The contract has been finalized. All the rights related to The Mermaid have been sold to them for over 100 million yuan.

Wow, more than 100 million without any risk. The Wangs said every day in the past two years that they were having business difficulties, but who would have thought that they would make tens of millions again in one go. It's really like a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Come to think of it, why are you suddenly asking about the contract? Did something happen?"

Zhou Mo told Da Tiantian the news about "Worm Valley".

"I see. The schedule is indeed quite tight, less than a week. I saw you were busy with the Blue House project during those two days, so I didn't bother you."

Zhou Mo said "hmm", but still felt a little strange.

"But I didn't see any public statement between us, Huayi, and Zhou Xingxing's company?"

Da Tiantian explained: "It's like this. When Da Wang and Xiao Wang signed the contract, they asked to announce the news after the release of The New King of Comedy. By then, the two sides will cooperate to completely push up the stock price."

"The two work together to push up the stock price..." Zhou Mo smacked his lips. He could already imagine the expressions of the big and small Wangs when "The New King of Comedy" was released during this year's Spring Festival.

Wang Baobao is the most miserable one. He finally solved the troubles in the rear and just when he was feeling relaxed, he immediately faced fluctuations in his career.

And it is a two-consecutive fluctuation.

When Zhou Mo thought of this, he suddenly felt emotional.

He had just received a call from Wang Baobao, who thanked him for helping him agree to the lawsuit and resolving his worries.

He and Wang Baobao will soon be competing against each other in the market of this year's Spring Festival, with real swords and guns.

What do you call this? The world is unpredictable.

……

In the next few days, Zhou Mo took a short vacation with Liu Shishi.

Don't accept social engagements and don't be busy with work.

I sleep until I wake up naturally every day, and I won’t get up until the winter sun shines on my butt.

Liu Shishi went out to work during the day, and when she came back at night, she would watch the rest of "Night Watchmen" with Zhou Mo.

During this period, Liu Shishi took the opportunity to pry out all the secrets of the three characters among the "old, weak, sick and disabled" except the "disabled" one from Zhou Mo's mouth.

Its general contents are as follows:
First of all, the real secret of Zhu Yilong's "old age" is that his "old age" is not due to something going wrong in his practice, but someone has experimented on him, cursed him, and continuously sucked his vitality, so he looks so old.

However, because his vitality is too strong, he can break the curse and restore his youth for at least three minutes every day.

Secondly, Li Xin is "weak". The price of her extraordinary abilities is that she cannot cultivate them. For her safety, her parents do not want her to set foot in the extraordinary social world, so they ask He Xiaotian's elder, who also possesses the ability of "saying and making things happen", to give Li Xin a blessing.

However, this elder also had a negative attitude and his words were always followed by actions, so Li Xin's own abilities became problematic.

In name, this sentence means "I hope she will be an ordinary and safe person all her life", but the actual effect is that "any factors that may cause her unsafe will be destroyed in advance."

Finally, Zhang Ruoyun's "disease". This guy is set as a sweeping monk. He has the strongest actual combat power and is getting stronger every day. However, the problem with this character is that his enhancement is uncontrollable. He becomes stronger day by day, which makes him unable to control himself, just like the water in the water tank freezes and bursts the water tank. Therefore, this character creates some diseases for himself every day and uses his abilities to treat the diseases in his body.

Obviously, when Zhou Mo set up these three people, he borrowed from many classic characters in excellent works.

And basically, they are the kind of characters who are very powerful when they first appear, but in the end they die because of something, allowing the protagonist to grow.

Liu Shishi also discovered this setting when recording the character settings.

Out of caution for a sad ending, she immediately found Zhou Mo and asked, "You're not going to kill all these characters in the end, are you?"

Zhou Mofanwen asked her: "Why do you think so?"

Liu Shishi pointed to her own records:
"Look at these three characters. Whether from the setting or the plot, they all seem to be the kind of characters that want to leave a deep impression on the audience and then burn themselves out in tragedy."

When Liu Shishi said this, she inexplicably thought of herself.

This is the case with Long Kui in “The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3”.

He has two souls in one body, is kind and brave. He waited for his brother for hundreds of years before he finally waited for his brother's reincarnation.

Such an experience should logically deserve a good solution.

But what was the final outcome of Long Kui in "Chinese Paladin 3"?

Jump into the sword-making furnace and burn up.

When Liu Shishi looks at these characters now, she feels that they are somewhat similar to Long Kui.

Zhou Mo denied it without hesitation: "How is that possible? I created this kind of hilarious script to make the audience happy and at ease. How could I suddenly send knives at the end? Is money not good? Or do you think the audience won't send me razor blades?"

Liu Shishi breathed a sigh of relief, and the heavy stone in her heart suddenly fell.

It wouldn't be a tragic ending.

But if it doesn’t end in tragedy, how should the problems of these people be solved?
When Zhou Mo was introducing the plot to Liu Shishi, he made it clear that the four protagonists would encounter more and more troubles due to their own special circumstances.

For example, Li Xin’s “weakness”, this character’s luck ability, will become stronger and stronger as she gets older, with a wider range, and the criteria for determining “danger” will become more and more stringent.

For a long time, this ability was nominally called luck, but in reality it was not much different from a natural disaster.

Any, note any, factor that may hurt Li Xin will set off a chain reaction.

For example, Zhang Ruoyun’s “illness”. As the plot progresses, his character’s combat effectiveness must continue to increase.

The increasingly powerful fighting abilities of the characters are themselves one of the most common ways to maintain the appeal of a series.

But the nature of the "disease" itself determines that there must be a limit to his strength.

So, this becomes a contradiction, a "pitfall" planted in online articles.
And the contradiction must be resolved.

At this time, Zhou Mo took Liu Shishi's tablet and pointed at her character "Xiaotian" on the screen.

"Of course it depends on Xiaotian's ability to 'make his words come true'. Otherwise, do you think I would design this ability for Xiaotian?"

Liu Shishi suddenly realized.

It turned out to be the case.

This time, without Zhou Mo's explanation, she thought of many ways to solve these problems on her own.

As she thought about it, she actually couldn't wait to film the next season of "Night Watch".

"By the way, you called a few days ago to ask about the data of Night Watch. What was the result?"

“The total purchase volume has exceeded 600 million.”

"So many!" Liu Shishi exclaimed, and then smiled: "It's only been ten days. At this rate, it should be no problem to break through 1 billion before the end of the year."

"Basically, there is no problem. Even if there is no breakthrough, we can still bring a lot of traffic to our show after the Chinese New Year or when the second season comes out."

Liu Shishi picked up the phone.

"I want to tell this news to other people."

As she spoke, she logged into WeChat and found a group called "Night Watchman Treatment Center."

Blind Singer: Friends, according to gossip, the performance of our "Night Watchmen" has exceeded 600 million! Cheers, my friends.

When Zhou Mo saw the four words "Blind Sword God", he felt a little funny.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shishi actually gave the character such a name.

Liu Shishi glanced at him and reminded him, "Don't worry, there's more to come."

Oh?
Zhou Mo suppressed his curiosity and waited quietly for news.

After a while, three other people in the group also sent messages.

Juvenile dementia: Is the news true?

The Blind Singer: Of course it’s true, I told you it was just a joke.

Three bottles of medicine a day: Six hundred million, I can finally have a good New Year, I plan to buy a car later.
