Chapter 547: The Historical Resources Are Too Rich
Lao Mouzi reviewed all the structures that Zhou Mo had just mentioned.

This idea of ​​stringing together historical nodes and finally bringing them together is actually a clever trick.

But I have to say, it is very effective.

A movie only lasts two hours, so it's impossible to explain every detail as clearly as a TV series.

It is already amazing to be able to capture historical nodes and adapt them into film scripts.

He Zhang EMO has been making movies for decades, and he has no shortage of stars, technology, teams, and special effects.

All it lacks is a good script.

and so……

Snapped!
Old Zhang held Zhou Mo's hand.

"Director Zhou, I have only one request. Please give the Three Kingdoms movie to me. I don't want the final editing rights. I will give it all to your company."

Zhou Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Director Zhang, don't be anxious. The Three Kingdoms is just a plan at the moment. Didn't you hear what I said just now? We can't have it all ready yet."

Lao Mouzi asked back: "But since you have a plan, you will definitely shoot it, right?"

This is true.

"But the problem is, there are three parts in Three Kingdoms. Director Zhang, can you really shoot all three movies?"

Lao Mouzi really wants to say directly:

It’s no problem for you to give all three parts to me. I will give you a visual feast when the time comes.

But it's just a thought after all.

Shanhe Company was not founded by him, so it is impossible for him to use its resources at will. Besides, Zhou Mo himself must shoot at least one film.

Lao Mouzi paused and said, "One is fine. It's definitely worth it to get one first. We can think about the others later."

Zhou Mo smacked his lips.

There is nothing wrong with what they said.

Ten birds in the forest are worse than one in the hand.

After all, the movie needs to be made by someone, so it doesn’t matter who is called.

"In that case, let's decide on the next one first. Director Zhang, which one are you going to shoot?"

Lao Mouzi did not agree immediately, but let Zhou Mo speak first.

"It must be you who decides first, Director Zhang. Which movie do you choose first? I can just pick the rest."

As he spoke, he had already made his position clear.

Zhou Mo thought about it and spoke.

"Personally, I prefer to shoot the Wei Kingdom and Cao Cao. According to the plan, Cao Cao should be the first part of the Three Kingdoms trilogy. If the Wei Kingdom is well shot, it can also lay a foundation for the number of fans for the later parts."

According to Zhou Mo's original idea, the real beginning of the Three Kingdoms should be the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

After all, even the Romance of the Three Kingdoms begins with the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

But after careful consideration, Zhou Mo chose to give up this idea.

If we start from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the plot line will be too long.

In addition, the subsequent aristocratic rebellion, the Yuan family, which had three generations of officials, introduced Dong Zhuo, Yuan·God of the Wind-Smooth Dog·Shao made trouble, Dong Zhuo caused chaos in the world, and the eighteen princes held an alliance...

Etc., etc.

Moreover, this was the end of the Han Dynasty, and the Three Kingdoms period had not even begun.

As for the post-Three Kingdoms era after Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wei led his army eleven times, Sun Quan killed people everywhere in his old age, Sima Yi swore by the Luo River, and Sima Zhao killed the emperor in the street...

If you really want to shoot, you will never be able to finish.

This is what happens when historical resources are too abundant.

Let me tell you something, the audience all know it, and they even understand it better than you.

It's simply impossible to finish the filming.

There are so many things to write about and dig deeper into.

"Game of Thrones" has been filmed for eight seasons, with a total duration of nearly ten years, but "Ice and Fire" has still not been completed.

Not to mention "Three Kingdoms".

Zhou Mo thought about it and decided to film the other stories into TV series.

Anyway, judging from past lives, "The Advisors Alliance" and "Tiger Roars and Dragon Roars" are both of good quality, and the audiences generally responded well.

It should be about the same if you take a single character as the center and string together the remaining main events.

When Lao Mouzi heard Zhou Mo talking about the State of Wei, he breathed a sigh of relief.

To be fair, he seems more like filming the Wu or Shu kingdoms.

If Zhou Mo chooses these two, he will definitely not be able to compete with others.

"What about you, Director Zhang? Which of the remaining two countries do you prefer?" Zhou Mo asked.

Lao Mouzi thought about it and made a decision. "Let's go with Wu."

After listening to Zhou Mo's plan, Zhang Yimou no longer thought about "Shadow".

Who would drive an A8 when you have an A6?

But the homework we have done before and the data in our mobile phone cannot be wasted.

So, just take down the people of Wu first.

Of course, Zhang Yimou actually didn't want to give up Shu Kingdom either.

He planned to wait a little longer until Zhou Mo came back to start looking for people. Such an elaborate project would definitely require high director skills.

If he can't find a suitable director to film Shu Kingdom, maybe it can return to him then.

This is called waiting for the rabbit to come to you.

Zhou Mo didn't hesitate and immediately asked his employees to write the new cooperation into the original contract.

I looked at the time and it was almost time for dinner.

Cheng Long also arranged the dinner and returned to the room.

Seeing that both sides were busy, I asked about the situation.

Lao Mouzi explained the situation and Cheng Long immediately slapped his thigh.

"Oh, I should have known not to go out and missed such a good thing.

Director Zhou, you can’t be partial, you must give me a role as well.”

Zhou Mo smacked his lips, knowing that once the door was opened, there would be no way to stop.

"Of course I can give you a role, but I'm afraid there's no leading role suitable for you this time, Brother Long. Are you sure you still want to take it?"

Cheng Long's expression is very casual.

"It's not like I haven't played supporting roles before, not to mention Director Zhou, this is your company's movie. Just give me a supporting role, no matter how big or small it is, I don't care, as long as I can act."

Since Cheng Long said so, Zhou Mo certainly didn't say anything more.

But if you think about it carefully, there aren't really that many characters that are suitable for becoming a cage.

Even though they say it doesn't matter, they certainly can't really give me a minor role.

That's called a cameo, an easter egg, or helping out, but it's not called a supporting role.

Zhou Mo thought about it for a moment, and suddenly realized that there might be a role suitable for Cheng Long.

This person was a key figure in the Battle of Red Cliffs.

He was loyal and devoted, and also contributed a very well-known Chinese idiom.

Yellow cover.

Thinking of this, Zhou Mo looked up at Lao Mouzi and found that he was also looking at him.

really.

I thought of going together.

"Brother Long, there really is a role that suits you."

"Oh?"

Lao Mouzi took over the conversation: "Huang Gai."

Then he explained his general idea to Cheng Long.

After listening to this, Cheng Long nodded repeatedly: "Great, great, this role is perfect for me. Don't worry, I will start to improve my knowledge in related fields when I return."

Then, the assistants who were crowded in the room came over.

The three assistants started working with their respective tasks.

The three bosses wandered over to eat.

On the way, Cheng Long suddenly mentioned: "Director Zhou, your movie "The Notorious" should be out of theaters now, how is its performance?"

"The domestic box office has just exceeded 15 billion, and the global box office is probably around 5.5 million US dollars." Zhou Mo replied.

He was already very satisfied with the performance of "The Notorious".

It was originally a comedy, but was later changed into a realistic film for awards, sacrificing a lot of effective plots. I think it was beyond his expectations that it could achieve this result.

Moreover, if we look at it from the perspective of global box office, "The Pitfalls" can still compete for the box office champion of all his films.

The exchange rate is here, and it is true that you can make more money by showing the film overseas.

"I heard that this movie is quite popular in Europe," said Zhang Yimou.

"Of course. It's the Palme d'Or after all. When The Peace was released in Europe, those French companies paid more attention to it than I did." Zhou Mo muttered.

This is the benefit of putting aside part of the investment amount.

If you don't let others drink soup, why should they work for you?
Talking about feelings is too abstract, it’s more convenient to talk about money.
