This director is vindictive.

Chapter 18 Director Zhou's Surprise
The deputy director of the TV station's film purchasing department can be said to be a position of low rank but great power.

Chen Mo and Teacher Li Bin chatted for a while and then said goodbye and left.

I immediately called the number on the business card.

The other person didn't sound very old and seemed rather formal at first, but after hearing that it was Teacher Li Bin who introduced him, he immediately became enthusiastic. From this change, Chen Mo knew that Teacher Li was very knowledgeable!
After agreeing on a time and hanging up the phone, Chen Mo started booking the plane ticket.

The next morning, Chen Mo flew to Hangzhou with a USB drive containing the original film of "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together".

I took a taxi to the broadcasting building of Blueberry TV in Hangzhou, called Zhou Qizhong, and waited for two or three minutes before seeing a middle-aged man walking out of the elevator.

Of course Chen Mo didn't know what Zhou Qizhong looked like, but the other party recognized Chen Mo at once.

"Chen Mo?" Zhou Qizhong walked over and asked with a smile.

"Yes, hello, Director Zhou!" Chen Mo quickly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Zhou Qizhong.

"Did you bring the source material?" The other party asked directly without any polite words.

"I brought it!" Chen Mo said quickly.

"Let's go and take a look at the film studio. We can talk while we walk." Zhou Qizhong gave Chen Mo the impression that he was decisive.

As he said this, he made a gesture of invitation and led the way.

As we walked, he asked, "I know you, but I didn't expect you, an actor, to suddenly become a director. Are you Lao Li's student?"

"Yes, Teacher Li is my homeroom teacher." Chen Mo nodded.

"It seems that you have a good relationship. I have known Lao Li for such a long time, but this is the first time he called me to ask for help." Zhou Qizhong said with a smile.

The two entered the elevator, Zhou Qizhong swiped his card and pressed a floor button.

Chen Mo then replied, "It's Teacher Li's kindness."

"Don't be modest. I know your story. It's the first case of online defamation. Wow, you have some ideas!" Zhou Qizhong suddenly smiled and turned to look at Chen Mo.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Director Zhou. The other party is really too bullying. I have no choice but to do this." Chen Mo said with a helpless expression.

"That's true. Let's go. We're here!" At this time, the elevator arrived, the elevator door opened, and Zhou Qizhong said with a smile.

Soon we arrived at the door of a room with a sign that said "Movie Viewing Room".

Zhou Qizhong knocked on the door, and soon it opened. A young man came out and greeted Zhou Qizhong and Chen Mo immediately, "Director Zhou."

"Yeah!" Zhou Qizhong nodded, then took Chen Mo in.

"Let's watch your drama first." He said to Chen Mo again.

Chen Mo hurriedly took out the USB flash drive and handed it over. Zhou Qizhong took it and handed it to the young man.

The young man quickly went to work, and Chen Mo followed Zhou Qizhong into the room.

The viewing room is not big, but not small either. It is about 40 square meters and has two rows of about a dozen chairs.

At the front is a large LCD screen.

Sure enough, it is completely different from watching a movie.

"Sit wherever you want!" Zhou Qizhong said with a smile.

The two men sat down, and the young man had already inserted the USB drive into the device.

"Let's start." Zhou Qizhong said.

Chen Mo was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhou Qizhong was watching it alone.

Soon the title of the film appeared on the screen.

Zhou Qizhong was a little surprised and pressed pause on the remote control, then looked at Chen Mo with suspicion.

"'Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together'? Do you have a grudge against Yu Youde?" Zhou Qizhong asked.

"Yeah, it's a bit of a grudge," Chen Mo said without hiding it. "Your drama and his drama only have one character difference, isn't that a coincidence?" Zhou Qizhong asked again, frowning.

"Yes, it's not a coincidence. Director Zhou, take a look at this first." Chen Mo didn't hide it and admitted it directly. Li Bin could think of it just by looking at the title, and Zhou Qizhong, who was originally from the television industry, naturally knew it better.

Zhou Qizhong took the document handed over by Chen Mo with doubt, opened it and took a look, and then the expression on his face became a little strange.

Then he returned the authorization document to Chen Mo and looked at Chen Mo in surprise.

"Although I have a good relationship with Lao Li, if you just want to disgust Yu Youde, I'm afraid I can't help you." Zhou Qizhong said.

Obviously, he guessed that Chen Mo and Yu Youde had more than just a grudge, but if Chen Mo really just wanted to disgust Yu Youde, then the show would definitely not be good, and he would definitely not help Chen Mo. Although he had a relationship with Li Bin, they were not really close enough that he would accept any junk for Li Bin.

"Director Zhou, can we take a look at the quality of the film first? Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't believe anything I say." Chen Mo said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Zhou Qizhong became more and more surprised.

Then he pressed the remote control: "Okay, let's take a look!"

Although Zhou Qizhong had great doubts in his heart, perhaps because of his preconceived notions, his expectations were not high. So when he saw the actors of "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together" appear, he was still somewhat surprised.

As the deputy director of film purchasing at a TV station, he has watched countless films. Idol dramas are the most popular genre nowadays, so he has naturally watched quite a few of them.

But for a moment, he felt that the quality of this drama could instantly kill all the idol dramas he had watched.

First of all, in terms of the picture, Chen Mo had been making movies in his previous life. Although they were online movies, he was making high-quality online movies, and the requirements for the quality of the pictures were not low. In addition, this drama had Ning Hao, a real film director, as the deputy director, and the photography also followed him to shoot the movie.

In addition, Chen Mo's requirements for this drama are: "Beautiful!" "Good to watch!"

The literal meaning does not refer to the plot, but to what can be seen with the naked eye.

There is not much to say about the plot. "Boys Over Flowers" is very popular in Asia, and you can see the shadow of this series in many idol dramas nowadays.

Although it is not the originator of idol dramas, it is definitely one of the most influential idol dramas.

Although there is nothing particularly eye-catching in the plot, Zhou Qizhong found that this drama really gives people a "eye-washing" feeling.

Beautiful, fashionable, luxurious! It highlights a sense of luxury.

Yes, that's how he felt at this moment.

Beautiful and fashionable refers to the appearance and dress of the main characters, including F4 and the heroine.

The four F4 members have their own styles, but they all highlight the word "handsome"! And they encompass four styles of handsomeness.

Although the heroine's appearance gave people a "naive" feeling, the smile she gave when she looked back inexplicably made this man who was over thirty feel moved.

This is only the first episode! Zhou Qizhong didn't say a word the entire time, but continued to watch with great interest.

Different people have different focuses when watching a drama. For example, when Zhou Qizhong watched this drama, he didn't really care about the plot. That's because the script was a remake. When "Meteor Garden" was popular, he was in college and was also fascinated by it for a while.

So, the plot is really not unfamiliar, he is mainly making comparisons.

Compared with the original version, he thought the styling, costumes and props completely surpassed the original version.

Of course, it is not only compared with the original version, but also with other idol dramas. For example, the drama currently being broadcast on Blueberry Channel is also an idol drama, but compared with Chen Mo's drama, that drama is obviously much worse in all aspects.

For a moment, Zhou Qi was also very surprised. As the deputy director of the film purchasing department, he also had KPIs. The performance of the films purchased by him would naturally have an impact on him.

At the beginning, it was indeed only because of Li Bin's relationship that he gave Chen Mo the opportunity to bring the film to him.

Then I found out that this was a remake, a remake of the famous "Meteor Garden", and it was also a new drama from the famous idol drama director Yu Youde who worked closely with the neighboring Mango TV.

But he really didn't expect that Chen Mo would bring him such a big surprise.

Of course, he still has some cunningness, so he remains calm on the surface.

But in fact, the fact that he continued to watch it said it all. If he was not satisfied with the show or not interested in it, how could he have watched several episodes in a row like he did?

Chen Mo felt that it was a deal. Of course, the specific selling price was still unknown at the moment, but the first round he was looking for was not a bargain.
