Huayu: Starting from "The Heavenly Bodyguard"

Chapter 45 Improving After-Sales Service

Shen Mo swore to the lamp that even if the King of Heaven himself came, Da Tiantian would still be the female lead in "John Wick".

Once you've taken someone's money, you have to take care of after-sales service.

Shen Mo communicated with China Film Group and the Golden Horse Awards.

The response they gave was that if all else failed, they would remove Da Tian Tian's Best Supporting Actress nomination.

Da Tiantian accepted the injustice with tears in her eyes.

Is it easy for a young girl to achieve even a little honor?

Damn Golden Horse Awards.

After arranging things for the crew, Shen Mo, along with Da Tiantian and Zhu Yawen, embarked on their journey to Frog Island.

Liu Yifei was originally going to come along, but Liu Xiaoli vetoed it.

Aunt Liu now feels that she may have been too lenient in disciplining Liu Yifei.

He accepted the role in "Lost in Thailand" without his consent.

In this time when we are surrounded by enemies, silence brings a sense of warmth.

But that bastard Shen Mo is single now, so he might as well not steal his daughter away.

This time, Shen Mo rode alone, unlike before, on his trip to the Golden Horse Awards.

When you go to find Jay Chou, you must bring your Dian Wei and Xu Chu with you.

Zhu Yawen has been nominated, and Big Secret is about to walk the red carpet.

Only Lu Yang was left to guard the house.

Ula Grass and Starlight Splendor, two companies, acted in unison.

Along the way, Lu Zheng kept asking Shen Mo about "Brotherhood of Blades".

Hearing that the investment and actors were already in place, Boss Lu felt very regretful, saying that in this day and age, even if you have money, you can't spend it.

Shen Daniu certainly couldn't let the local tycoon down, so he swore that he would definitely reserve a role for Da Tiantian in his future projects.

As soon as I got off the plane, I saw Jay Chou there to pick me up.

Shen Mo sprinted forward, ignoring Zhou Jielun's resentful gaze, and gave Da Ni a tight hug.

The group went to the hotel first, and Shen Mo wanted to meet with someone from China Film Group.

I made plans with Jay Chou to go out and have some fun later.

Han Sanye finally caught a glimpse of Shen Mo and wouldn't let go of the calf once he got his hands on him.

"Are you really going to pit your 'Lost in Thailand' against 'Assembly'?"

Shen Mo wasn't surprised at all by his question.

Shen Mo is like a wild grass in the film and television industry, the kind of Hai Qing who doesn't belong to any particular faction.

Since her debut, she has always been closely associated with the Beijing entertainment circle.

Now that they've revealed their true colors and are going to clash with Huayi, the most powerful force in the Beijing entertainment circle, Han Sanping has to ask them some questions.

The die is cast, and Shen Mo saw no need for formalities, so he said directly:

"It was a lucky coincidence, I suppose."

"I gave 'Brotherhood of Blades' a token of goodwill."

"I even had Xiaoming pass on a message for me."

"Isn't it too domineering to blatantly ban Liu Yifei like this?"

Pulling Shen Mo away from the crowd, Han Sanping said with displeasure:

"Don't you know what that little girl's godfather, that bastard, has been up to?"

Shen Mo didn't know if Chen Jinfei had lost his mind or what.

They actually tried to scam Huayi.

Shen Mo didn't get any details from Liu Yifei about the specifics of the story between this grandson and the two brothers.

It's highly likely that the business failed, and they wanted to sell Hongxingwu as a package to Huayi, but couldn't get a suitable price.

Enraged, they simply pushed Liu Yifei to Hollywood, intending to sell him later for a higher price.

They're really treating "The Forbidden Kingdom" like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Even if it were "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," Zhang Ziyi still ended up slinking back to China to develop her career.

Shen Mo had worked there before and knew all too well the character of those major companies.

To put it bluntly, the domestic film and television industry is a huge secondary league.

They regularly select a few of the best people to go there.

If you can make a name for yourself like Jackie Chan or Jet Li, people will accept you.

Those who fail to make a name for themselves will have to slink back to where they came from.

Shen Mo's casting as the Joker in "Batman" is actually a special case.

To put it bluntly, they initially saw him as a character actor.

Even if he acts brilliantly, it's the character in the movie who becomes famous; he, Shen Mo, is still just a tool.

If it weren't for a series of unexpected events, and the success of "John Wick" in North America, Warner Bros. would have gradually downplayed the role of Shen Mo as the Joker, and would never have invested in his future "John Wick 2".

If Shen Mo's "John Wick 2" continues to achieve good box office results, he will be considered to have squeezed into the ranks of Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

Even if they make it into this tier, they'll most likely be appearing in genre films and playing villains.

Shen Mo couldn't make the decision regarding Liu Yifei's matter.

But it won't work if someone bullies your mount.

In her previous life, the young girl had no acting opportunities in mainland China for several years and could only fawn over the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

Now that there's silence, none of this will happen.

However, I can't be too ruthless; I still need to make Chen Jinfei and Liu Xiaoli face reality.

There is another issue that must be resolved, and that is the nationality of the celestial baby.

"Those things have nothing to do with Liu Yifei, and nothing to do with my movie either."

"Third Master, what if China Film Group doesn't handle the distribution of 'Lost in Thailand'?"

"Shanghai Film Group contacted me a long time ago."

Han Sanping glanced at Shen Mo with a strange expression, his eyes full of mockery.

"You little bastard, you think you're all grown up now, trying to rebel?"

"Third Master, why do you always curse people?"

"Since you've made your decision, then China Film Group will handle the distribution. At least they won't dare to resort to those underhanded tactics."

Han Sanping's words to Shen Mo today were certainly not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Huayi is indeed being a bit too domineering these days.

Han Sanping hated this feeling of being out of control.

Since Shen Mo had come out to disgust Huayi, he went along with it and, within a controllable range, gave the two brothers a little stern talking-to.

If Shen Mo proves himself capable, Han Sanping will not hesitate to support a force that can balance the situation.

If silence doesn't work, the loss won't be significant.

Shen Daniu could roughly guess Han Sanping's meaning; this was the best situation he could secure for himself.

"Lost in Thailand" and "Brotherhood of Blades" are just appetizers; the key to victory lies in "John Wick 2".

If John Wick 2 is successful, then Shen Mo will become a flagpole.

If it doesn't work out, then we'll each have to rely on our own abilities.

After meeting with Han Sanping, Shen Mo went to see Ye Weixin, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

Ever since "Flash Point" was filmed, Shen Mo has been using the script for "Ip Man" to seduce this Hong Kong director.

It's not that Shenmo can't film, it's just that Wula Grass only has these few small fry right now, and it's really too busy to be in two places at once.

Shen Mo's communication with Ye Weixin was not smooth sailing either.

People from Hong Kong Island, to put it nicely, are pragmatic; to put it bluntly, they're a bit snobbish.

Before the release of "John Wick," both Shen Mo and his co-star remained ambiguous.

Once they realized that Shen Mo truly possessed the ability, they began to openly engage in scheming and manipulation.

The two sat in the hotel's coffee shop, neither of them speaking.

Ignoring Ye Weixin's strange look, Shen Mo insisted on stirring the boiled water in front of him with a spoon. When he saw that the temperature was about right, he reluctantly threw in a handful of goji berries.

Seeing this mainland guy using his mother's coffee cup to brew goji berries is really disgusting.

But when we think about the sheer scale of the Ip Man series, we can tolerate it.

Ye Weixin's lips twitched, but he couldn't hold back any longer and said, "I believe that if you, Shen Mo, play Ip Man, we'll definitely have a huge hit."

He tapped the white porcelain cup with a gleaming metal spoon.

"I don't want to play Ip Man; I want Donnie Yen to play the role."

Perhaps the coffee was too hot, or perhaps he drank it too quickly, because Ye Weixin burned his tongue.

"Aren't you going to act?"

"Should we let Danzi act in it?"

"Have you reached an agreement with him?"

After listening to the barrage of questions, Shen Mo shrugged.

"I've already spoken to him, but he hasn't given me a reply yet."

Now that Ye Weixin is ready to board the ship, he naturally has to pledge his loyalty.

"Where did you not reach an agreement? I'll talk to him for you."

With his legs casually crossed, Shen Mo smiled and said:

"I admire Donnie Yen."
