Chapter 443: Self-Explosion
"Super Body 2" requires a nine-month production cycle. Compared with "Galaxy 7", which was produced in ten years, it doesn't seem to be a long time...... It's weird.
Strictly speaking, the production cycle of "Galaxy 7" is long, and to a large extent, Luo Tianmu is waiting for technical upgrades, and then uses new technologies in movies.
So it takes a long time to run-in.
Otherwise, it's the kind of anime movie, which is purely a job of picking out the details, and it also takes a long time to outline and render it little by little.
So long time, it is understandable.
No matter how bad it is, it's a pure special effects blockbuster, all kinds of green screens, motion capture, ......
All right.
Zhou Mu sat up.
Don't be surprised.
After all, generally speaking, it takes 3 months to prepare for a movie, 2 months to select directors, actors, and script run-in, 3 months to shoot, 3 months to post-production, one month to publicize, and then release......
From preparation to release, to film painting.
The whole cycle, about a year, or a year and a half.
It's just that Zhou Mu is used to it, a movie in about half a year, and now I hear that it will take nine months, so I feel surprised and uncomfortable.
Of course, if everything goes well, the time can definitely be brought forward. But on the other hand, if there is a problem in any link, it is natural to postpone the time.
This is also the reason why many directors have royal teams and actors.
Nothing else, just because of familiar people, you don't need to run in, you can just get started, saving a lot of trouble and time.
But no matter how much you save, the main creator spends most of the year focusing on movies, which is a normal thing and can be called a blessing.
What a blessing.
I don't know how many people are anxious because they can't work.
Only when you work can you eat.
"What, is there anything wrong with the production cycle of this movie?" Yu Nian noticed that Zhou Mu's surprise was hiding something else.
"No ......"
Zhou Mu covered his forehead, "Let's solve the rumors first." β
"Didn't you say, hold a media conference, just deal with it then. β
Yu Nian didn't care, "Anyway, the money you make is very clean, and there is nothing worth putting your beaks into." Unlike others, you have to worry about a mess. β
"It's not that simple. β
Zhou Mu shook his head, "Wait for Sister Hong to come over." β
......
Nanny car, arrived on the outskirts.
In an inconspicuous house, the people of Yu Nian's studio have been here for more than half a month.
Zhou Mu got out of the car, and under the leadership of Yu Nian, he walked into the house.
The very simple house and living room should have been cleaned by someone, so the floor and walls are clean and tidy.
However, the place of work is very messy.
The various props, models, and costumes already have a rough outline.
Zhou Mu took his hands, walked around, and listened to an intern's explanation, during which he remained silent and did not express any opinions.
After the tour, I returned to the living room.
Yu Nian made tea and handed it over, "How do you feel?"
"Yes, it's ok. β
Zhou Mu said casually: "Your project, you are in charge." β
So far, Yu Nian has not disappointed him, and he will not point fingers. He would not point it out unless he saw a serious mistake.
Otherwise, the authority of Yu Nian should be respected.
"That's what you say......"
Yu Nian sat up straight, his expression becoming serious, "I have a new idea." β
"Stop!"
Zhou Mu had a headache and couldn't help but rub his forehead, "Before listening to your new ideas, allow me to ask a question...... Do you spend money on this new idea?"
"Ahem!"
Yu Nian's expression was calm, "Super Body, isn't it making money? As far as I know, the account sharing of "Three Laughs" should be called to you. β
"Don't beat me up, I don't have any money. β
Zhou Mu was frightened and clasped his hands in front of his chest, "Tell me, I am really fresh on my sleeves now, and my pocket is cleaner than a basin." β
β...... Are you Pixiu?"
Yu Nian couldn't help but disdain, "More than a billion yuan, only in and out." β
"No, not really. β
Zhou Mu pulled the topic back, "Come, tell me what your new idea is." If it's reliable, I'll help you say a few nice words in front of Sister Hong. β
"Humph!"
Yu Nian pursed his lips, very disdainful. Eventually, however, he spoke with great interest about his big plans.
Well, it's Cui Ji's previous complaint, the big studio project.
It's just that with Yu Nian's explanation, Zhou Mu knew that his ambition was even bigger than everyone imagined, which could be called a crazy move.
β......β
After Zhou Mu listened, he fell into silence.
"How?"
Yu Nian asked, his expression was rare and a little nervous.
After all, he also knew that without Zhou Mu's support, it would be impossible to persuade Yang Hong to agree to implement this plan.
β...... You're going to give me a problem. β
Zhou Mu looked distressed, "How much does this cost?" β
"Not much, not much ......"
Yu Nian said a number and asked Zhou Mu to spray the tea.
Is this called much?
Get lost!
......
Three days later.
Northwest city, the most luxurious hotel.
Spacious banquet hall.
Overcrowded.
A bunch of waiters, while pouring tea and water, couldn't help whispering.
"Is this the appeal of a big star?"
A young man longed and yearned, "Not only the hall was full, but even the corridor outside was crowded with people." β
"What is this, I heard that there is a group of people outside, and they are not qualified to enter the hall, so they have to wait outside for news......"
Others were also envious and jealous: "Hmph, so arrogant, let everyone wait for him, what kind of big name is playing." No wonder, to be scolded ......"
"It's not good that the time is up. β
Someone helped to speak, "It's these people who came early." β
The man pouted, "Everyone is here, but he, the party, didn't show up, he was deliberately neglected." β
"......
The two didn't quarrel.
A commotion sounded, and a group of people poured in from the direction of the entrance of the hall.
"It's coming, it's coming. β
"Zhou Mu ......"
The crowd in the hall was in a commotion, if it wasn't for the fact that Zhou Mu would not have left when he came, I am afraid that someone could not wait to rush up.
The layout of the hall is similar to that of a school lecture hall.
Directly in front of you, there is a row of front desks.
Zhou Mu and the others sat down in the front row and opened the microphone by the way.
"I'm sorry, I think it's late. β
Zhou Mu was the first to speak, and after an opening remark, he went straight to the point, "The main reason for holding this media conference today is to clarify some absurd rumors about me on the Internet. β
Click, click, click.
At the moment when he spoke, the camera and video recording equipment, including the long rocker arm, surrounded him like a half-moon fan.
The point is that the environment that was still noisy and noisy just now was instantly silent.
In the entire wide hall, only Zhou Mu's voice echoed.
This posture, this battle, made some people staggered.
In the live broadcast software, someone couldn't help but post a barrage, "When, Zhou Mu has this influence?"
That's a really good question.
Many people think about it seriously and find that this is not a sudden outbreak, but rather a natural process......
"First of all...... A movie made 10 billion. β
Zhou Mu raised his head and said with a wry smile: "This must be clarified, because the Internet rumors let my parents know, so they immediately called me and asked me to quickly sponsor them for billions of dollars, so that they can buy a university and let them get over the addiction of being a school director." β
"Although I don't know, how they could have such an idea, or what kind of holiday they had with the school board......"
Zhou Mu spread his hands and said to the camera: "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, I really can't do it at the moment...... But I know that this is your spur on me, and I will continue to work hard......"
Ha ha.
A group of people chuckled.
Although they didn't know, whether this was true or not, or it was simply a small joke made up by Zhou Mu on the spot. But it doesn't matter, it's a good material anyway, and the title is there, "The parents of the tens of billions of directors wanted to buy the university, only to find out that the director's son was a big deal." β
Of course, there are also people who don't laugh. Because they feel that the value of the IP of "Super Body", as long as they are managed carefully, it is not a problem to earn 10 billion.
The person who jokes, that is shallow-eyed, the pattern is not big enough.
......
"In addition, I would like to clarify that I was treated unfairly and was oppressed and exploited in Qinghong Culture Company. β
Zhou Mu frowned, "Actually, I don't know how this rumor was born. But this kind of thing, after a little analysis, you know that it is impossible. If the company's contract is really as harsh as the Internet, I'm not stupid...... I have already appealed to the court to terminate the contract. β
"Even if you don't apply for termination, you can change jobs. β
Zhou Mu smiled lightly: "I think that with my popularity, after parting ways with the company, someone should be willing to help me pay liquidated damages." β
Well!
Many people couldn't help but nod. Not only to help pay liquidated damages, it is estimated that there will be another payment, which is specially given to Zhou Mu for "settling-in expenses" and "condolence money".
No matter what the name is, it's a benefit fee that attracts people's hearts anyway.
"I would say that the company was very good to me, and my contract changed two or three years ago. The specific terms of the contract, because of the particularity of the industry, it is inconvenient for me to publish. However, I can assure you that it is definitely the best clause in the industry. β
Zhou Mu said seriously: "My autonomy is very strong, maybe careful friends should also find out that I have basically not received any advertisements and commercial performances in the past two years." It's not that the company doesn't arrange it, but I don't want to, so I directly shirk it. β
"Strictly speaking, my approach has hurt the interests of the company. β
Zhou Mu said softly: "After all, I signed an artist contract, not a director contract." This also means that the company only takes a cut when I act as an artist. β
Wow!
There was an uproar down there.
Really, for most people, this is definitely the biggest revelation.
did not sign a director's contract, which means that when Zhou Mu is a director, he can cooperate with other companies to shoot movies at any time, and Qinghong Culture has no right to interfere and intervene.
Not to mention the surprise of the reporters on the scene.
Even some entertainment company bosses who were watching the live broadcast were dumbfounded, as if they had seen a gold mine.
Who would have expected that Zhou Mu would be a freelance director.
It's simply ......
Tyrannical creatures.
Sign.
At all costs.
Be sure to sign him.
Many entertainment company owners have picked up their mobile phones and contacted headhunters.
After making the call, they were scolding Yang Hong for being stupid. is close to the water, and he didn't sign Zhou Mu's director's contract, what a confused decision.
Oh, woman, the brain is in the water.
"I'm so willful, the company can tolerate it, how can I be exploited and squeezed?" Zhou Mu smiled again, "The most important thing is that I signed a five-year term with the company, and next year is the last year, if it is not surprising, I should not renew the contract." β
Yes??
Another bomb knocked out the reporters at the scene. Even the viewers who watched the live broadcast couldn't help but rub their ears, wondering if they had heard something wrong.
Is this a clarification conference, or a revelation conference?
And then there's ......
Some people's eyes glanced at Yang Hong next to him.
Zhou Mu blew himself up like this, she didn't care?
Shouldn't it have fallen out sooner?
But not so much.
Fell out.
It's either blocked or hidden, which is the normal means.
Even if it can't be blocked, the snow can't be hidden, and it shouldn't sit quietly on it and let Zhou Mu tell the truth.
Or the two of them, what agreement did they reach, to terminate the contract peacefully?
I can't figure it out.
Some people pondered, but they couldn't understand it.
But looking at Yang Hong's calm appearance, they vaguely felt that this matter was not so simple.
Brush Brush Brush ......
Zhou Mu ignored it, and the reporter with his arm like a forest continued to follow his own rhythm and said slowly: "Third, the main thing is to clarify that as a public figure, I am not keen on charity or participate in public welfare activities when I make money. For the rich is not benevolent, and the world is disqualified......"
"Ugh!"
Zhou Mu said helplessly: "Here, I must say that I really can't afford these two criticisms. β
"I'm just a small actor and a small director, and I barely have a little fame in the midst of chance. β
He said frankly: "But in the industry, there are many seniors who are more famous than me, more capable than me, and more profitable than me. β
"Rest assured, rest assured...... I'm not trying to dump the pot. I just want to tell you that my position in the industry is not as great as everyone thinks, but I am also willing to contribute to charity. β
Zhou Mu waved his hand, ignoring the commotion below, and continued: "Although there are some things, I tell everyone publicly, it seems a little ...... How to put it, shame on me. β
"But I don't want to be misunderstood by everyone, and in the case of being scolded by the whole network, someone suddenly discovered the real situation, and there was a big reversal or something. β
Zhou Mu shrugged his shoulders, "I guess everyone has seen a lot of such plots, and I don't have to repeat it, so as not to fall into clichΓ©s." β
"All I can say is that if any friend is willing to take the time to go to the official websites of some charitable organizations and search for my name, they should find out. β
Zhou Mu spread his hands, "However, there don't seem to be many friends who do this." β
β......β
A group of reporters were stunned.
But the fastest, of course, is intuitive netizens. In two minutes, screenshots were presented in front of many people.
It was a detailed list, which recorded the data that Zhou Mu had sent money to the account designated by the charity organization almost every month since he entered the industry.
From the very beginning, hundreds or thousands of dollars. and then to the back, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions. and the most recent one, a huge donation of tens of millions......
Face this detailed data.
Everyone was silent.
