Chapter 182 Gun in hand, follow me to kill Silang
It is late December.
The total box office of "Chu and Han" has exceeded 8 million.
The single-day box office was less than 40 million.
Although the downward trend is unstoppable, fortunately, the broadcast of "Legend of Chu and Han" has once again continued the performance of "Chu and Han".
Many viewers who followed Bona’s bundling sales and thought that "Chu and Han" and "The Legend of Chu and Han" had the same origin were disappointed with the quality of the TV series after watching the first ten episodes of "The Legend of Chu and Han".
They organized their own armies to attack Gao Xixi.
Under normal circumstances, netizens would not be so harsh on him.
In the past, after "Legend of Chu and Han" was broadcast, the rating was at least 7+.
But in this life, with the example of "Chu and Han", after the first ten episodes of "Chu and Han" were broadcast, the opening score was only 6.3.
Almost didn't even get 6.
Faced with the scolding from netizens, Gao Xixi could hardly bear it.
He tried to contact Zhou Mo.
I hope Zhou Mo can help guide public opinion since they have worked together on the same crew.
He is fifty years old this year, and his tolerance for insulting words is far less than the speed at which netizens update their posts using swear words.
Zhou Mo comforted the old senior.
Then he turned around and asked the company to increase its efforts to promote the movie.
It makes the audience who have watched "The Legend of Chu and Han" but not "Chu and Han" feel the urge to watch the movie, and then contribute to the box office for Zhou Mo.
And then……
"Director Zhou, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. Please make some conditions."
On the phone, Yu Dong's voice sounded tired.
He was almost going crazy during this period.
First, "Big Shanghai" failed. Not only did the movie lose money, but the conflicts that had accumulated between him and Du Qifeng also broke out.
Du Qifeng accused him of interfering in the filming of the film many times, which ultimately led to the film's low quality.
He was dissatisfied with Du Qifeng's attitude.
The old guy begged me to take him in when he failed some time ago. Now that he has won the Golden Horse Award, he is confident enough to turn against me.
In addition, there were continuous calls from Gao Xixi.
To promote "Legend of Chu and Han".
Compared with Du Qifeng's confrontation, Gao Xixi's methods are much more sophisticated.
Come to Bonanza every day.
He didn't say anything else, just had a sad face and sighed.
Yu Dong had no choice but to shake hands and make peace with Zhou Mo.
Zhou Mo was amazed.
It is indeed rare to see Yu Dong in this state.
"What conditions did Mr. Yu mention? I don't really understand."
Yu Dong frowned.
"Director Zhou, this is boring. I admit that when I approached Du Qifeng before, although I wanted to squeeze out the last bit of value from him, I did offend Director Zhou.
How about this, after "Big Shanghai" is released, I can help Director Zhou. Du Qifeng will probably not have the opportunity to get investment in the mainland in the future. How about it?"
When Zhou Mo heard this, he sneered.
As expected of Yu Dong, at this time, he is still thinking about playing tricks.
The failure of "Big Shanghai" and Zhou Mo's hostility made it difficult for Du Qifeng to gain support in the future.
Now Yu Dong’s so-called help is nothing more than a temporary solution.
"Mr. Yu, no need to say more. Goodbye."
Click.
The phone hangs up.
Da Tiantian's face was full of surprise.
"You really won't tell Yu Dong?"
She thought that what Zhou Mo said just now was just bluffing.
Zhou Mo made a "hush" sound and then looked at his phone.
A moment later, the cell phone rang.
"Director Zhou, when it comes to business, you ask for a high price and then pay it back. I, Yu Dong, am a layman, but I didn't expect Director Zhou to be so straightforward.
Let's put it this way. Our company is organizing a team building recently, and it's for all employees in the company. It just so happens that the performance of "Chu and Han" is so good right now, and it is an object that all companies in the industry must learn from. I decided to arrange for employees to book a private theater for learning. "
When Yu Dong said this, he felt his heart was bleeding.
The so-called booking the entire place means directly giving money to the other party.
For someone like Dong who is accustomed to taking advantage of others, giving money to others is more painful than killing him.
But in order to repair the relationship with Zhou Mo.
He endured.
On the other side, Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Yu, I have had a regret during this period of time."
The slow tone annoyed Yu Dong to death, but he had to listen carefully.
"Director Zhou, please speak."
"Actually, our company has recently produced a batch of scripts, but we don't know how long it will take to shoot them by ourselves, relying on our own manpower. So our company is currently looking for partners..."
Yu Dong was overjoyed.
I didn't expect that after giving money to Zhou Mo, I would receive a reward.
Rumor has it that Zhou Mo will never treat his own people unfairly.
Yu Dong was completely convinced.
He deeply regretted his decision to win over Du Qifeng.
What kind of passerby is Du Qifeng, and why is he cooperating with Zhou Mobi?
"I wonder what kind of movie Director Zhou is talking about?"
"There are all kinds of them, military, modern spy war, war..."
Zhou Mo recalled the script in his mind.
"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", "Mekong River", "Red Sea", "The Captain"...
These are all movies shot before the World Expo, and they have achieved quite good results.
Now, these scripts that originally belonged to Bona have been written by him early on.
Then let Bona participate in the investment.
For nothing else.
It’s purely because Zhou Mo has too many scripts in his hands. Instead of not being able to finish filming them, he would like to let Bona shoot them in the future.
It would be better to start the project early, let Bona invest part of it, and then work for him.
This is what we call "I make your money and you still have to thank me."
Yu Dong heard the description.
make a prompt decision.
"No problem, Director Zhou. As long as these movies are ready to be filmed in the future, I, Yu Dong, will always be ready to provide you with funds."
"No problem!" Zhou Mo hung up the phone contentedly.
……
Chen Daoming has been feeling quite successful recently.
Ever since the release of "Chu and Han", he felt that his status in the film and television industry had improved significantly.
Counting the roles, he has played both the Qin Emperor and the Han Emperor in movies.
These two roles also won him the domestic film box office championship twice.
So, in Chen Daoming's heart.
In his mind, Zhou Mo has now become a super director comparable to Zhang Yimou.
"Director Zhou, thank you for wanting to use an old guy like me to make a movie." Chen Daoming said seriously.
Zhou Mo waved his hand.
"I am very grateful to Teacher Chen for helping me fend off the siege from the Film Association." Zhou Mo also expressed his gratitude to Chen Daoming sincerely.
This story begins two days ago.
After half a month of abuse since the release of "The Banquet", Rikutaro finally "openly" purchased a group of internet trolls to give his movie good reviews.
After being discovered, instead of killing himself, he stiffened his neck and said, "Yes, it was me who did it. I did not do it on purpose, but because some villains slandered me..."
After Zhou Mo and Boss Yang received the news, they lamented Lu Tailang's stupidity and continued to collect Lu Tailang's classic quotes.
After collecting enough information, I posted it all online.
Prepare to send Rikutaro away.
Then, Rikutaro really exploded.
Faced with the ridicule from netizens, Rikutaro started looking for his father again.
Comrade Lao Lu is unrivalled in protecting his children.
Seeing that he could not resolve the public opinion alone, he pulled together a group of veterans in the film industry, formed a "sunset red" professional team, and began to protect Riku Taro.
And there are people who "maliciously" attack Ritaro online in a sarcastic manner.
Of course, people won’t directly name and say that there is something wrong with you, Zhou Mo.
Secretive.
Hiding in secret.
"Times have changed. When I was in that era, everyone was united in purpose and worked together for the development of the film and television industry. There was no such thing as the intrigues that we have today."
"The development of the industry is particularly regular, and we should respect our elders..."
A bunch of people spoke in a gloomy manner, and their level is not very clear.
It is obvious that he is taking advantage of his seniority.
Then, before Zhou Mo could say anything.
Chen Daoming couldn't sit still anymore.
Fire directly at those old guys.
"As for who has made the greatest contribution to a film or TV series, the audience naturally has a yardstick in their hearts, and it is not something that can be judged simply by words..."
As a big shot who plays an important role in the film industry, as soon as Chen Daoming opened his mouth, those old guys who usually live by their seniority naturally shut up.
At this moment, Chen Daoming patted Zhou Mo on the shoulder.
"It's not really a thank you. You listened to me about Jiang Yiyan's matter in The Four, and saved me from a lot of trouble."
The controversy surrounding the arrest of Sun Li by the crew of "The Four" came to an end some time ago.
Even after Jiang Yiyan was saved by Wang Jinghua, she was still unwilling to give up and continued to make trouble.
He published a book on his own.
Trying to regain his reputation.
Unfortunately, the audience didn't buy it.
Just output to the architect.
Originally, the architect invited Chen Daoming to write the preface for this book.
Chen Daoming wanted to agree, but during the filming of "Lucy", he changed his mind after being ridiculed by Zhou Mo.
So, Chen Daoming managed to escape this storm.
The Lu Tailang incident was Chen Daoming's way of returning a favor.
……
The premiere of "The Chinese Zodiac".
Crying a lot at the scene.
"I am already 58 years old this year, and I don't know how many more years I can live, so I treat every movie I make as my last, so that I have no regrets..."
Many people at the scene had tears in their eyes when they heard this.
Zhou Mo looked at Da Tiantian and didn't quite understand.
"No, why are you crying? This isn't the first time that Brother Long has said something like this."
Da Tiantian wiped her tears and hummed softly.
"A man with a heart of stone."
Zhou Mo had no choice but to ignore this silly girl who was too emotional.
Walked onto the stage and was interviewed with Cheng Long.
He is the special guest in this event.
It was not for "Zodiac", but to promote the new "Police Story".
During the interview, a passerby introduced himself first, indicating that he had no ulterior motives, and then joked: "Director Zhou, Uncle Long, I have a question, that is, what does Uncle Long think of Director Zhou's "Chu Han" where he fought four people alone, and have you ever worried about your own "Zodiac"? "
Zhou Mo and Cheng Long looked at each other and then burst into laughter.
Cheng Long took the microphone and said: "In fact, I never thought of competing with Director Zhou at the beginning. For me, the box office expectations for "The Chinese Zodiac" were not very high, so even if it was released more than half a month later than "Chu and Han", it was still not as good as "The Chinese Zodiac".
But Zhou Mo is different from me. He is very confident about "Chinese Zodiac" and said that if the movie can break 800 million, I will come back to shoot a new series of "Police Story" with him. I agreed. "
The host had actually heard the news a long time ago, but he still cooperated and asked questions.
"Director Zhou, is what Uncle Long just said true?"
Zhou Mo nodded.
"Yes, my next movie is the Police Story series. The script has been written a long time ago. We will start filming as soon as Brother Long finishes filming Chinese Zodiac next month. Please stay tuned."
The premiere is over.
Cheng Long found Zhou Mo.
"Director Zhou, speaking of which, Huang Silang asked me to apologize to you. He couldn't completely control some of the comments made by his fans before."
Zhou Mo laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter to me."
Cheng Long raised his eyebrows but didn't say much.
Anyway, he has already brought the point home.
As for the rest, Huang Silang can only wish him good luck.
After leaving the screening room, Zhou Mo called the company.
"The information can be released now."
