Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 884 Breaking the record
Da Tiantian was originally sitting quietly by the side, but when she heard the number 7.1 million, she immediately became restless and moved closer to Zhou Mo's phone.

"7.1 million, is the statistic correct?"

"No, it's 7.1 million."

After getting the correct answer again, Da Tiantian felt a warm current flowing from her scalp to the soles of her feet, and her whole body felt numb.

7.1 million, 7.1 million...

"Zhou Mo, we broke the record."

Zhou Mo was also trying to calm down his excitement at this time, and his eyes turned slightly pale as he held the phone.

The performance of "Three Kingdoms: Wei" was better than he expected.

According to the company's earliest calculations, the film's first-day box office should be around 6.5 million.

With a box office of 6.5 million on the first day, the total box office should not be less than 70 billion.

Now that the first day box office has reached 7.1 million, the final box office will definitely be much higher.

"Director Zhou, Director Zhou?"

At this time, the assistant's voice interrupted Zhou Mo's thoughts.

"Well, what happened?"

"In addition to the box office, there is one more thing, Director Zhou, you may need to pay attention to it."

"what?"

"Director Zhou, your role as Zhang Jiao has been widely praised online. Many viewers who watched the movie on the first day said that the fifteen minutes of the Yellow Turban Rebellion were the most exciting fifteen minutes of the entire movie.

Director Zhou, your role as Zhang Jiao is not only the best actor in the entire film, but also the most memorable costume character in recent years."

Hey!
Such a high evaluation?

Da Tiantian rolled out of bed like a big cat, took her cell phone from the table, and rolled back into bed.

Open your phone, open the software, and quickly find relevant entries about "Three Kingdoms".

When I clicked in, I found that among the topics with the highest traffic, three of them involved Zhou Mo and the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Datiantian started the first topic, titled "A director who can't act is not a good screenwriter."

As the name suggests, the content introduces Zhou Mo's experiences in his three main professions.

Under this topic, many viewers have long known about Zhou Mo's level as a "director" and "screenwriter", but this is the first time they have understood Zhou Mo's ability as an "actor" so thoroughly.

"No, Li Zicheng in New World was actually played by Zhou Mo? Damn, was he so young back then?"

"It was the first time I knew that the guy who touched the heroine in Lucy and was shot dead by her in the end was actually Zhou Mo."

"There is also "One Step Away", the one who is responsible for imprisoning Ma Zouri..."

After watching all of Zhou Mo's acting experiences, many viewers were surprised and expressed their recognition of Zhou Mo's acting skills.

"It turns out that Zhou Mo's acting has always been so good. I thought it was Zhang Jiao who brought out his acting skills."

"No, it's not that most of the directors have good acting skills. Jiang Wen, Lao Mouzi, Cheng Long, Zhou Xingxing, even Wang Jing and Xiao Gangpao, have all contributed great acting skills. Now there's another Zhou Mo. Such talent is really enviable."

"Other people don't know that when Jiang Wen, Zhou Xingxing, and Zhou Mo are filming, they are all tough characters who can explain the scenes to everyone and let the actors really act them out. So when working with these three people, you don't usually have to worry about not having templates to learn from."

"If you ask me, these directors with good acting skills should shoot more movies when they have nothing to do, and contribute more good roles to the film industry, instead of thinking about collecting folk songs all day long."

Da Tiantian looked at the comments under the topic, which were full of praise for Zhou Mo's acting skills and calling on these people to act in more movies, and immediately gave them a thumbs up.

Well said.

These directors with good acting skills, especially Zhou Mo, should make more movies, the more the better.

Da Tiantian really hopes that Zhou Mo can appear on the screen more often. It is obvious that this guy’s acting skills are not as outstanding as those of the Mesozoic era, but he is almost at the forefront. However, he just doesn’t like to be on the screen.

From the time she met Zhou Mo until now, she found that after all these years, she and Zhou Mo had only appeared on the same screen in two movies at most.

Business Tycoon, Three Kingdoms Wei

"You're right. You should be allowed to shoot more movies, so that when you become an old man one day and miss your youth, you won't find that you didn't leave any good images. Wouldn't that be a pity?"

While Da Tiantian was talking, she rubbed Zhou Mo's face with her hands, and she became more and more convinced that her idea was correct.

She made up her mind to have the company hype up this topic and increase traffic, so that more fans and audiences would urge Zhou Mo to shoot more dramas.

On the other hand, Zhou Mo didn't take Da Tiantian's words seriously.

"It's impossible for me to become an old man. Even if I'm no longer young, I'm still the top-notch appearance in everyone's eyes. Don't worry."

His appearance is at the same level as his fellow book friends.

He will remain handsome throughout his life.

Even when he gets old, he will only change from a young handsome boy to an old handsome boy.

Just think of Bern Anderson, once the most handsome man in the world.

As for a certain mysterious man with sunglasses and water gun, that is absolutely impossible.

Impossible in this life.

Next, Zhou Mo explained a few more things to his assistant.

Da Tiantian also contacted her main force and explained her plan to them.

Half an hour later, the two hung up the phone almost at the same time. After looking at each other, Da Tiantian asked first: "Should we tell the crew about the box office?"

"Well, it's time to talk about it. Anyway, I'm probably not going to sleep tonight, so why don't we all just stay up and have fun together!"

Zhou Mo opened the green bubble, only to find that the group was already bustling with activity. Everyone already knew the first-day box office figures of the movie, which was posted in the group by a company employee twenty minutes ago.

Jiang Wu: See, I said that the box office of our movie would definitely set a record. Over 7 million on the first day, this single-day box office is more than others’ in a month.

Zhou Yun: @Zhou Mo, with this result, will there be any changes in the subsequent publicity?
Jiang Wen: @Zhou Mo, have you ever thought about postponing it?

Jiang Wu: @Peng Yuchang, didn’t you say before that if the box office exceeds 7 million, you would treat the crew to a meal? Now that the box office is out, when are we going to have dinner (smirk) (smirk)?

Peng Yu sings: Any time is fine, I'll listen to everyone. (Laughing)

Zhou Mo roughly scanned the discussions in the group. Part of the records were everyone sharing the joy of breaking the record of the first-day box office, and making fun of Peng Yu's singing.

The other part is to focus on asking Zhou Mo about his next arrangements.

According to the first-day box office momentum of "Three Kingdoms Wei", the subsequent promotion will definitely need to be adjusted to a certain extent, such as arranging more roadshows, accepting more interviews, and increasing the frequency of exchanges and communication with fans, netizens, and audiences...

Although roadshows are tiring, the results over the years have proven that during the film promotion period, there is indeed a certain positive proportional relationship between the box office and roadshows.

The more the road shows, the better the film performs at the box office.

Although many actors don't like roadshows, it's only because the questions asked by fans and audiences are almost the same after going back and forth. It's natural to get annoyed by doing the same thing over and over again.

Zhou Mo thought about it and sent a message in the group:

@Everyone, there will definitely be some adjustments to the follow-up publicity, and the next work will definitely be busier. I will discuss the follow-up publicity tasks with the company tomorrow and try to inform everyone as soon as possible. Thank you all for your hard work during this period. I will give everyone a big red envelope at the celebration banquet.

At this point in time, everyone was not asleep and couldn't sleep.

After seeing the message, I immediately replied to a wave of messages in the group.

In fact, they were eager to stay with the crew for a few more days. It would be worthwhile to participate in the promotion of a movie that could set a box office record.

……

The next morning.

After washing up, Zhou Mo went to the restaurant for dinner and met the crew on the way.

Among the group of people, the older ones looked more or less tired, such as Jiang Wen and Lao Mouzi.

Young people like Peng Yuchang didn't look tired at all, but full of energy, not like someone who had stayed up all night. When Peng Yuchang saw Zhou Mo for the first time, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Director Zhou, we agreed last night that I will treat our crew to a celebratory dinner later."

Zhou Mo smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, you come and treat me."

Last night, Peng Yuchang, encouraged by everyone, decided to host a dinner party at the celebration banquet.

So, this morning I couldn't wait to confirm with Zhou Mo.

Behind Peng Yu singing, Lao Mouzi and Xu Ke looked at Peng Yu singing and looked at each other.

"Being young is good."

"It's really good. I have plenty of energy. I don't feel anything after staying up all night."

As the directors of the Yellow Turban chapter of Three Kingdoms, they will naturally participate in the promotion of this movie.

But after all, they are the directors of two other films, so the original plan was that they would only need to participate in two to three days of promotion and then they could rest.

However, judging from the current situation, two or three days may not be enough, and I probably need to run for a few more days.

During the meal, Xu Ke sat next to Zhou Mo.

"Director Zhou, I'm very happy to be filming with you this time. In the past, many directors in the industry said that you have an incredible talent for acting, but I didn't realize this until I worked with you. I hope to continue working with you in the future."

"Director Xu, you're too polite..."

Zhou Mo agreed, but he felt a little strange.

This makes no sense. Why did Old Monster Xu suddenly say this?

Xu Ke saw Zhou Mo's confusion and was also stunned.

"Director Zhou doesn't know?"

"what do you know?"

"You're on the trending search on all major platforms, and many fans are saying that you should act next."

Zhou Mo was dumbfounded. How come he knew nothing about what happened so lately?

I took out my phone and saw that the situation was indeed as Xu Ke said. There was a rumor that he would consider playing a few more roles next.

Judging from the screenshots, the news was spread so realistically that if he wasn't the one who told him so, he would have believed it a little.

"This kind of online news is just spread randomly by netizens and should not be taken seriously."

Xu Ke raised his eyebrows, "But I met Miss Jing this morning, and she asked you what roles you are considering playing next?"

As soon as the words "Miss Jing" came out, Zhou Mo instantly guessed the truth.

have to.

This iron-headed kid is starting to cause trouble.

After meal.

Zhou Mo found Da Tiantian and gently pinched her earlobe.

"You were the one who told everyone outside that I wanted to act? And you said that I admitted it myself."

"Yeah, isn't that what you said?"

"When did I ever say I wanted to act?"

"Last night, I asked you if it was okay, and you said yes." Da Tiantian said confidently.

last night?

Ok?
Zhou Mo was confused for a few seconds, and suddenly a scene popped up in his mind.

"Zhou Mo, let's act."

"..."

"Pretty boy, can you do this?"

"A real man never says he can't do it."

"So you can do it?"

"Nonsense, of course."

I wipe?

Zhou Mo almost couldn't hold it in: "Is that the same thing? No, who would have thought that your two problems were counted together."

"Then you didn't answer me separately?" Da Tiantian spread his hands.

"I didn't separate, did I? I was silent."

"I understand. Silence is affirmation."

"..."

In the next few days, the entire crew was caught up in a high-intensity publicity task. Every day was like a spinning top, with no time to stop.

However, no one in the entire crew felt tired because of this intensity of work. Instead, they became more energetic day by day.

The performance of "Three Kingdoms: Wei" is really great.

On the first day, 7.1 million.

The next day, 8.2 million.

On the third day, 8.9 million.

On the fourth day, 7.3 million.

On the fifth day, 6.9 million.

For seven whole days, the box office of "Three Kingdoms: Wei" remained at over 5 million yuan, and the box office in the first week exceeded 46 billion yuan, breaking all domestic box office records.

When the specific figures were announced, the entire film and television industry fell into an inexplicable atmosphere.

46 million.

One week.

These two numbers, no matter how you look at it, should not be put together.

But they did it openly.

After going through the three stages of "unbelievable", "not quite believing", and "having to believe", countless people have several questions in their minds:

What will the final score of this movie be?
Can the next two films in the "Three Kingdoms" series maintain this performance?

What is the limit of domestic box office?
Of these three questions, the second one is the easiest to answer.

The achievements of the "Wei Kingdom Chapter" will most likely not be achieved by the "Shu Kingdom Chapter" and the "Wu Kingdom Chapter", and there will be a clear gap.

Whether it is people in the circle or audiences and fans outside the circle, they all know that the biggest reason why "Wei State Chapter" can achieve such a result is the duo combination of "Zhou Mo + Da Tiantian", both of which are indispensable.

Under the "immortal and mortal" worldview, the audience recognizes these two people.

As for other factors, such as the cast, historical background, and film plot, they will boost the box office to a certain extent, but they will definitely not be as great as the impact of this duo.

In this "Three Kingdoms" series, Zhou Mo was only responsible for the "Wei Kingdom Chapter". He did not participate in the filming of the other two chapters all the time, so the result is obvious, the other two chapters will inevitably decline.

However, the exact extent of this decline will depend on the specific performance of the other two films.
