This director is vindictive.

Chapter 81 A movie made specifically for male compatriots (25)

What can I say about the movie "The Shallows"?

The plot is not particularly novel, but it has a lot of selling points.

The main selling point still lies in the heroine. To put it bluntly, this is a movie made for the majority of male compatriots.

Sexiness is one aspect, and on the other hand it also satisfies the evil thoughts hidden deep in the hearts of many people.

That is to see sexy and beautiful girls being "abused"!
Of course, in order to make this movie well, we have to work hard to create a suspenseful atmosphere.

You have to say that the original heroine has a really great figure!
But after all, she is a foreign horse. In Chen Mo's opinion, her appeal to LSPs in China is still not as great as that of the native-born big Mimi.

And in terms of popularity in China at the moment, Big Secret is still very popular.

The prerequisite is that Da Mimi has to change her figure. After all, she is not tall, but the big foreign girl is 1.75 meters tall, and her long legs can crush people to death.

Besides having a big secret, Da Mimi is not as good as the big foreign horse in terms of the firmness of the buttocks and the length of the legs.

The reason why he chose this movie was simply because Chen Mo discovered that, in fact, these days, there are still quite a lot of audiences for domestic horror films. Even those domestic horror films that simply rely on skirting the line and selling dog meat under the guise of sheep meat can often have good box office results.

Not to mention "Far Cry" starring big stars, which managed to gross 2012 million at the box office. So a movie like "The Shallows" would definitely be a big hit in !
The key is that this movie is relatively simple to shoot. After all, it is a one-man show, and the crew will definitely be small. So, if we hurry up, it will be released in two or three months.

The promotion is also easy to handle, just learn from "Far Cry", and this movie is really not a wolf in sheep's clothing.

In addition, Yang Mi’s current popularity, although she is not a traffic star, is actually not weak in popularity at all.

Chen Mo was definitely just trying to set another record or something. Well, it wasn't because he was envious of Yang Mi's big secret. Absolutely not! He wasn't that kind of person!

However, Xiao Zhao and the rich lady found out about this, and they both seemed unhappy these past few days.

Especially Xiao Zhao, every time she heard Chen Mo grabbing the little bun with a look of regret and asking why he didn't grow up quickly, she couldn't help but want to bite him.

Do you really think this thing is made of dough? You can shape it however you want?

She wanted to, too! But she didn't have the talent! After all, growing great fruit from small branches really depends on talent, right?

As for the fact that the rich young woman was unhappy, it was because she also wanted to act in Chen Mo's drama. It was not because she wanted to be famous or anything, but purely because she wanted to be able to play with Chen Mo.

The final box office of "Love Is Not Blind" is a little higher than its predecessor, but it is also limited, only 33 million. After all, there are only so many screens in China nowadays.

For a moment, Chen Mo felt a little satisfied. There was nothing he could do. His obsession in his previous life had been fulfilled long ago, but it only lasted for a moment.

We have to find something interesting to do in life, right?
Thinking of this, he started to work, writing the script while recalling the plot of "The Shallows".

Although he was reborn, in fact, Chen Mo could only remember the general plots of some movies he had watched in his previous life. It was impossible for him to remember all the details.

The same is true for "The Shallows", but the good thing about this drama is that there are not too many lines, and the script is much easier to write.

Of course, his Shengshi Pictures is no longer just a small company. With the success of "Mr. Vampire" and "Love is Not Blind", the company has begun to gradually expand in scale.

For example, Uncle Ying’s team is currently responsible for shooting online movies, mainly zombie movies.

A team of screenwriters was also hired to fill in the script.

Unfortunately, the company still lacks someone who can truly take charge. Zhao Ming's ability is still in the actual work, and he is still a little lacking in managing the company.

In reality, Chen Mo did have a goal, and he was working for Pony. Currently, Chen Mo's company was still far behind Pony. As for personal assets, Chen Mo hadn't been a stock investor in his past life, nor had he ever been a "leek" investor, so his knowledge was limited. He only remembered a few things, such as the subsequent market value of Penguin and the famous Bitcoin.

He asked someone to help him buy some, intending to hold them for a long time.

Then I bought several properties in Beijing, Shanghai and my hometown.

In fact, he already has enough disposable money.

Filming has been his hobby in both his lives, so he has no plans to change his career, nor does he have the ability to do so.

He felt that the current plan was pretty good. After all, you can't expect a filmmaker to understand everything just by doing it again.

What he is most familiar with are some developments in the film and television industry.

In fact, the box office myth of "Love is Not Blind" had a far greater impact than he imagined.

In the entertainment industry, there are no secrets for many well-informed people, and what happened at the celebration banquet quickly spread within the circle.

The female lead for Chen Mo's next play has been decided, which is nothing to say, but there is another project with a script that even the great poet Chen has taken a fancy to, which has attracted the attention of many people.

Moreover, since it is an adapted work, some people have already started looking for the novel "The Lost Web" and made preparations in advance.

At the same time, they began to use various channels to try to contact Chen Mo and inform him in advance.

Unlike the new drama with already confirmed roles, the movie adapted from "The Lost Tomb" is a low-budget domestic thriller with quite a few characters. Moreover, it is a movie about cyber violence, which is obviously a very mainstream movie. It is no secret that several film and television companies are optimistic about it and are vying to invest in it. Therefore, all kinds of people came in at once.

On the other hand, many people were surprised that Chen Mo's new film was actually a thriller.

However, although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable. After all, before "Love is Not Blind", Chen Mo had also filmed horror films such as "Mr. Vampire".

Although it is just an online movie, no one dares to underestimate it nowadays. After all, several "Mr. Vampire" movies have been released.

Moreover, every online drama is better than other online dramas, and it has even formed a trend of zombie culture.

The shooting period of "The Shallows" will not be too long, so it is a good thing to start warming up the publicity now. Chen Mo did not hide it and directly released the news that Yang Mi will play the heroine in the new drama.

Although most domestic horror films are indeed not up to standard and are even criticized by many people, you have to admit that this type of subject matter actually has a considerable market in China.

The more you lack something, the more you want it.

Precisely because it is not mainstream, few well-known directors are willing to make movies of this theme. For this reason, Chen Mo, who had just created a box office myth, suddenly decided to make this kind of movie, which attracted a lot of attention and discussion.

"I hope it's not a horror movie under the guise of a sheep!"

"Looking forward to it, will it be in the style of 'Mr. Zombie'?"

"With Yang Mi starring, it can't be something like Far Cry, right?"

"That shouldn't be the case. After all, he's a director worth 3 million. He should have some dignity, right?"

"That's hard to say, but considering Yang Mi's figure, if she's in the new movie, hehe, it's still worth looking forward to!"

For a time, there were many different opinions, but no matter what, Chen Mo achieved his goal.
