Chapter 337: The Heart Is Higher Than the Sky

Yang Hong was stunned, she actually heard the sour meaning in Hu Yingshang's tone, which made her a little stunned.

She laughed dumbly, feeling that she was thinking too much and had delusions.

A superstar, how can it be......

"Be jealous. ”

However, at this time, Xiao Yun next to him said unceremoniously: "Sister Hong, don't pay attention to him, he is purely jealous, and his eyes are red." ”

“......”

Under Yang Hong's surprised gaze, Hu Yingshang's old face turned red, "What are you talking nonsense? In front of the public, save me some face." ”

Xiao Yun squinted, took Yang Hong's hand and complained, "You don't know that he has been shouting about losses during this time......"

"Huh?" Yang Hong was confused.

"Mainly before, when Zhou Mu made this movie, he once asked him if he wanted to invest and make a cameo by the way. ”

Xiao Yun had a smile in her eyes, "What about him, he didn't feel good after reading the script, so he found an excuse to prevaricate." ”

"Don't talk about it......"

Hu Yingshang held up the red wine to cover his face, "I still regret it." ”

Friendship is friendship, business is business, and he can distinguish it. It's just that he is too clear, so that he loses an opportunity to make a profit.

Even if he has money, he is not short of money.

But thinking of it, a large sum of money, he pushed it away with his own hands.

Can he not regret it?

For a moment, Yang Hong had an impulse to grasp Hu Yingshang's palm and say emotionally, I understand you...... of pain.

There was once such an opportunity, and it was also placed in front of her. But she was unmoved, and now her intestines were blue.

"You should, ask for yourself. ”

Xiao Yun sat steadily, unaffected.

Mainly her light luxury brand, which has developed very smoothly in the past two years. Zhou Mu is more and more popular, and it is more beneficial to the brand, and she is very happy.

"Don't say it, don't say it. ”

Hu Yingshang changed the topic, "Do you have any new ideas for Zhou Mu recently? I can invest, not to mention a cameo, it's no problem to play a supporting role." ”

The last sentence is definitely a joke and adds a little weight.

Yang Hong seemed to be smiling, "The movie is not painted, how can you have any ideas." "Even if she has an idea, she will make a movie that pleases Ye Zijin, so she will not share the profits again.

"Eh......"

Hu Yingshang was helpless.

Zhou Mu finally finished dealing with a group of guests, made an excuse and walked back and sat on the sofa softly, just heard Hu Yingshang's long sigh, and suddenly felt strange, "Brother Hu, what's wrong?"

"He was depressed. Xiao Yun responded with a smile, and with Hu Yingshang's gloomy expression, it was really difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

Anyway, Zhou Muxin was very worried, "Brother Hu, depression is not a small problem, don't shy away from medical treatment, hurry up and find a psychiatrist." ”

“......”

Hu Yingshang gritted his back molars, squeezed out eight teeth and smiled: "Thank you for your concern." ”

"You're welcome, as it should be. ”

Zhou Mu smiled and turned his head to look at Xiao Yun, "Hey, Sister Yun has been beautiful again recently, this is the rhythm of growth that is going against the tide." ”

"Really?"

Xiao Yun touched her bloody and ruddy cheeks, regardless of whether Zhou Mu was complimenting her or not, she was very useful anyway, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's not as handsome as you are full of spring breeze, is this to compete with the little fresh meat idol for a job?"

Two people tout each other, and everyone is happy.

Yu Da suddenly poured cold water, "Aren't you worried, Mo Huaixuan's movie is about to be released, and the premiere is very powerful." ”

"Xiao Yu ......"

Xiao Yun blamed, "Good and decent, why are you mentioning this." ”

Disappointed.

But Zhou Mu could hear the concern in Yu Da's words, and he chuckled: "If it is a biopic directed by Zhang Huang, I have to worry about one or two." But Mo Huaixuan ...... There's no need!"

"Huh?"

Hu Yingshang was stunned and reminded: "Zhou Mu, don't underestimate Mo Huaixuan. He is relatively rusty in making commercial films, and he can't find a familiar rhythm. But one thing to say, he still has a set of literary films. ”

"What I'm not afraid of the most is literary films. ”

Zhou Mu took a drink handed by Yu Da, took a sip, and then continued: "The most important thing is that I checked the ticketing software and found that the movie took two and a half hours to watch, so I was more at ease." ”

"Two and a half hours, one hundred and fifty minutes. ”

Hu Yingshang was quite puzzled, "Although mainstream films are between 90 and 120 minutes long, more than two hours are considered super long movies." However, there are also a few super-long movies on the market every year, is there any problem?"

In fact, most theaters and entertainment companies are reluctant to make a feature film that lasts more than two hours. Because the longer the film, the fewer screenings there will be per day. In other words, there is one less operating income.

"Of course ......"

Hu Yingshang also understood this truth, so he immediately added: "Super long movies, the number of screenings arranged every day is definitely less than that of ordinary movies." But the movie is exciting enough, and the ticket price is set higher, and it can make up for it. ”

"No, not for this reason. ”

Zhou Mu smiled, shook his head and said, "I have read the script directed by Zhang Huang...... The content is very long. I estimated that the script would be at least four hours long to make into a movie. ”

"What, four hours?"

Not only Hu Yingshang, but even Yang Hong was taken aback, she didn't know about it.

"Hmm. ”

Zhou Mu nodded, "Director Zhang Huang's ambition is very huge. He knew that he had a heart condition, so he attached great importance to this movie, and it is estimated that in his mind, this movie should be the final work of his directorial career. So making a super long movie, it's understandable. ”

Hu Yingshang was silent for a while, and couldn't help but sigh, "Director Zhang, it's a pity." ”

Although he has never cooperated with Zhang Huang, he also admires each other, has made movies for decades, and has made a lot of contributions to the industry.

"Zhou Mu, what do you mean......"

Yang Hong is more concerned about another thing, "Mo Huaixuan has made changes to the script finalized by Director Zhang Huang?"

"Either the script was changed, or in terms of editing, some branches were cut. Zhou Mu was unsure, shrugged his shoulders and said: "No matter what the reason, anyway, as a director, it is impossible for Mo Huaixuan to implement Director Zhang Huang's shooting concept, he must have his own ideas." ”

"Are you trying to say ......?"

Yang Hong was a little excited and a little incredulous, "That movie...... Will it collapse?"

"Who knows. ”

Zhou Mu smiled and wrote lightly: "Anyway, after watching the length of the movie, I have already determined that most of the movies made by Mo Huaixuan are not the movies that director Zhang Huang wants to make." ”

"You must know that what Director Zhang Huang wants to shoot is never a simple Zhang Bo biopic, but an era of turbulence and drifting. ”

Zhou Mu's tone was leisurely, "In the script, all the flesh-and-blood characters and characters are just his marionettes, and he regards himself as fate and is at the mercy of everything. ”

Therefore, the filming technique of the movie should be to strip away all emotional rendering, and slowly record the joys and sorrows of a person with a cold and alienated lens. ”

Zhou Mu said softly: "This should be a movie that shows off as little as possible and returns to the basics." I just don't know if Mo Huaixuan knows this. Or is he clear, is he willing to sit back and enjoy it?"

“......”

Hu Yingshang and the others were silent, they understood what Zhou Mu meant.

In the industry, I don't know how many people envy Mo Huaixuan's luck, saying that he picked up Director Zhang Huang's big bargain, and it was simply the smoke from the ancestral tomb that he won the jackpot.

As an arrogant person, Mo Huaixuan heard these rumors, and it was strange that he had no ideas in his heart. He must prove himself, even if he doesn't have Zhang Huang, he still has the ability to control such an epic blockbuster.

So he ignored Zhang Huang's "legacy" and created the movie according to his own ideas. Zhou Mu is just not optimistic, Mo Huaixuan's "heart is higher than the sky".

“...... If the movie, really failed. Hu Yingshang got up suddenly, "I'll make a call." ”

Zhou Mu was stunned, "What is he going to do?"

"What else can you do. ”

The husband and wife who shared the bed, Xiao Yun broke the mystery in one word, "He, most of the time, is to short the stocks of several companies." ”

Don't say that biographical movies fail at the box office, as long as there is no improvement, the shares of several companies that invest in movies will definitely fall.

"Uh......"

Zhou Mu was stunned, crying and laughing, "This is just my guess, maybe it's wrong." Sister Yun, you hurry up and persuade Brother Hu and let him stop messing around. ”

"It's fine. ”

Xiao Yun smiled and said: "His money in the stock market is only a few million, and if he loses, he loses, it doesn't matter." Besides, I think your analysis makes sense. Although I don't understand movies, I understand people's hearts. ”

"A film, from preparation to completion, should have only one voice. If the commander changes halfway through, and the heir does not follow the original plan, it is easy to make trouble. ”

Xiao Yun sighed lightly, "Zhou Mu, I suddenly feel that Zhang Huang's biggest failure is that he didn't strengthen your position as the protagonist. Otherwise, you also have the opportunity to compete for the position of director of that biopic...... Let you shoot, maybe better. ”

"Impossible. ”

Zhou Mu smiled, "No one believes that I have the ability to make that movie well." ”

"Yes, it wasn't possible at the time. Xiao Yun felt that it made sense, and then smiled: "If it is changed to now, the opportunity will be great." ”

"Equally impossible. ”

Zhou Mu shook his head and stood up, "Sister Hong, it's almost time, take a walk, complete the task, and have a good dinner." ”

"Hmm. ”

Yang Hong took two steps, and suddenly turned around and said, "I think you still have a chance...... The premise is that you shoot according to the routine of the drama, not spoofing and going off the rails. Extreme style, try it once in a while, it's fine, but don't indulge in it. ”

She admonished seriously, "Listen to me, if you want to make achievements in awards, it's better to make fewer movies of this kind." ”

“...... Well. ”

Zhou Mu nodded lightly, and also sighed at Yang Hong's sense of smell and judgment.

The earth's time and space, the Zhou's comedy, which has poured countless people, no matter how popular it is, how high and good the box office is, but it can't move the hearts of the judges, and it has been suppressed for twenty or thirty years.

waited until the Hong Kong film declined and needed the flag to support the scene, so Zhou's comedy was pulled out to embellish and whitewash, and praised it.

What's the point of this belated award?

......

Wait for Yang Hong to leave and arrange the ritual process. Hua Nai and Han Xiaoman, after hesitating again and again, finally mustered up the courage and slowly moved over.

"Director......

After five or six steps, Han Xiaoman called first, she really didn't want to lean over, she hoped that Zhou Mu would understand her mood and take the initiative to come over.

It's a pity that Zhou Mu couldn't hear the cry in her heart, so no miracle happened.

There was no way, the two pulled each other, and finally walked to the edge of the sofa. They greeted Zhou Mu first, and naturally they would not forget Yu Da, the senior.

"Teacher Yu is so ......"

The two greeted each other cautiously.

They know that Yu Da's reputation in the circle is not good.

Arrogant, playing big names, ignoring people......

Similar rumors abound.

Now they realize that this is really true. After their greetings, Yuda didn't seem to hear it, fiddling with the drink in her cup.

Embarrassed......

The smiles of the two almost froze.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhou Mu spoke, "Yu Da Beauty, did you hear it, your two juniors, ask you for an autograph." ”

Only then did Yu Da raise her head, with a face of "disaster to the country and the people", clear and agile eyes, revealing the meaning of scrutiny.

Under the cold gaze, Han Xiaoman was inexplicably afraid, instinctively hugged Hua Nai, and then found that the other party was also trembling.

"Ahem!"

Zhou Mu's throat was a little dry, so he picked up a drink to moisten his throat.

At this time, Yu Dacai stretched out her delicate and white palm, Han Xiaoman and Hua Nai were stunned, and when they were in a daze, Zhou Mu reminded them casually, "Sign!"

"Ahh

Only then did the two of them react, and hurriedly took out their notebooks and markers in their bags. This is a must-have thing for celebrities, not only can they sign autographs for fans, meet their peers, but also take the opportunity to show their goodwill.

For example, now......

When Yu Da gave the two people and signed them at will, the atmosphere eased a lot.

At this moment, more than a dozen waiters rushed in, pushing the cart and merging the carts together to form a winding dragon-like desk.

After that, another hostess came in, spread a red cloth on the desk, and put down the ice sculptures that rose up one by one.

The number 3 starts with a string of zeros.

There was no need for anyone to summon it, when Zhou Mu walked to the front row and took over the small hammer, Han Yi and the others rushed over one after another and stood in turn.

They also picked up their little hammers and put on smiles.

Click, click, click!

After the reporter took the photo, he followed Zhou Mu to smash the ice sculpture in front of him.

Ping Pong, in a chaotic sound, the ice sculpture shattered. In the warm applause, a group of people shouted, "The box office is a big hit, keep up the good work!"

In the call, the banquet officially began, and the sumptuous food was quickly pushed out and piled up in the corner. A variety of champagne drinks are placed in the center.

Flowers and bubbles are intertwined and scattered in the air.

The jubilant banquet lasted until late at night, during which no one left early, and everyone was intoxicated by this wonderful atmosphere.

The wee hours passed.

Some talents are leaving one after another.

Zhou Mu was half awake and half drunk, standing at the door to say goodbye.

Slowly, the lively banquet hall gradually became deserted.

Only a handful of people were still holding out, as if waiting for something.

waited until three o'clock in the morning, someone quickly barged in and reported directly, "Zero box office, two or three hundred million!"

"So much?"

Hu Yingshang lost his voice and said: "Isn't the box office on the first day four or five billion?"

He couldn't help but look to the side, was Zhou Mu's prediction wrong?
