Chapter 1083 1183. Overestimating one's own abilities
You actually have another cat outside...no, it's a human!
This was the first thought in Wang Mo's mind. He glared fiercely at Liu Yi, the meddler, and occasionally cast a resentful glance at Wang Zimu.
Both Liu Yi and Wang Zimu also saw Wang Mo. Liu Yi had a strange expression, while Wang Zimu looked a little embarrassed. Especially Wang Mo's eyes made him feel a little hairy, wondering if this senior had some special hobbies.
Wang Zimu was obviously overthinking, and Wang Mo simply felt that someone had gotten there before him and felt very unhappy.
But after all, he is a person who has experienced countless ups and downs in the entertainment industry, and he knows how to hide his emotions. His expression changed just for a moment, and soon Wang Mo walked towards Wang Mo with a spring breeze smile on his face.
Wang Zimu wanted to wipe his eyes, wondering if what he saw just now was all an illusion.
Liu Yi looked at Wang Mo. He would not naively think that Wang Mo glared at him just now was an illusion. Moreover, this old guy had been arrogant from the beginning. Thinking of this, Liu Yi sneered in his heart and thought for a while. Wang Mo would be so embarrassed if he knew the truth.
Wang Mo didn't know what Liu Yi was thinking, but he had a deep disdain for this unknown actor. When he got closer, he ignored Liu Yi who was closer to him and instead fought with Wang Zimu first. Say hello.
Moreover, Wang Mo’s positioning is very skillful. He is slightly closer to Wang Zimu and faintly facing Liu Yi. From the outside, at first glance, Wang Mo will definitely feel that Wang Mo and Wang Zimu are closer, while Liu Yi looks like The outsider who is excluded from the circle.
"Zimu, who is this..." After greeting Zimu, Wang Mocai asked doubtfully as if he had just discovered Liu Yi.
"Director Wang, this is Brother Liu Yi, whom you have met at the award ceremony before." Wang Zimu frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy with Wang Mo's attitude of ignoring Liu Yi, but in front of this senior, he Still cautiously remained polite.
After all, there are many incidents in the industry where careers have been cut off because of disrespect for seniors. A female singer who was thought to be in the spotlight at first had a quarrel with a senior singer, and her career plummeted.
Although Wang Zimu is a newbie, he also knows that he should be patient when he should, and he cannot let go of a good future that he has not yet obtained.
Liu Yi saw Wang Mo frown slightly at that moment and heard the protective meaning in Wang Mo's words. He was very happy, so he didn't care about Wang Mo's deliberate neglect of him.
"Director Wang, you are a noble man who forgets things a lot, so let me introduce myself again. My name is Liu Yi, and I am an actor."
"Ah, actor, I'm sorry, I'm old and my memory is not good. Sometimes I can't remember clearly some people who have no characteristics." Wang Mo said sorry, but the meaning behind his words was different. Every sentence touches Liu Yi's heart.
As an actor, the most valuable thing is to have something that the audience will remember deeply. Whether it is handsome, ugly, or funny, being able to leave a deep impression on people is the foundation of a first-class actor, and Liu This is what Yi Que has.
He's not bad looking and his acting skills are okay, but he just has no memory points. He has played many roles, but few people remember him. This has something to do with the role and the series itself, but it is more about Liu Yi is not very distinctive.
Wang Mo is indeed a veteran, and he can see Liu Yi's biggest shortcoming at a glance, so he secretly satirizes Liu Yi's shortcomings.
Liu Yi was so angry that he wanted to spit out the old guy in front of him.
However, Liu Yi was smiling on the surface, and there was no indication that he was already full of anger at this time. Instead, he replied in a humble and teachable manner: "What Director Wang said is that I have never acted in half my life." What a brilliant role, but if you can help me in the future, maybe I will become popular. "
"Haha, it's easy to talk about." Wang Mo's eyes twitched and he replied a little stiffly.
He felt that Liu Yi was mocking him. Who in the industry didn't know that he had only made a movie once in his career, and as a result, the film company he invested in almost went bankrupt. After that, no one asked him to make movies or TV series anymore. After that, he switched to making documentaries for TV stations and some entertainment companies.
Now that Liu Yi said this, he must be mocking him!
Wang Zimu was a little confused on the sidelines. Liu Yi obviously told him to be careful of Wang Mo's purposeful approach, but looking at the two chatting, it seemed that they had a good relationship.
Of course, he soon had no time to think wildly. After Wang Mo and Liu Yi taunted each other, his attention was once again focused on Wang Zimu.
As a director, if you have the opportunity to make TV series and movies, who would be willing to make documentaries all the time? Wang Mo dare not say absolutely, but at least such people must be very few, and at least Wang Mo is not among that group of people.
He also wants to make movies and TV series again, but the key is that no one invests in him.
His reputation in the industry is terrible. He is known as a box office poison. After all, he can almost bring a film company to bankruptcy. This is really taboo. Small companies will definitely not dare to use such a person. No matter how capable they are, they don't dare to use it. After all, that kind of company wants to break every penny in half. They don't believe a director like Wang Mo who only has a dark history.
But big companies look down on people like Wang Mo, so he is in a very embarrassing position. No one has approached him to film movies or TV series for many years.
But Wang Zimu was different. From Wang Mo's point of view, he was just a newbie in the industry, and he probably didn't even know what he was doing back then.
He was trying to trick Wang Zimu into investing in his own filming, and then he could turn things around in one fell swoop.
The only problem now was Liu Yi, who seemed to know his past, and he couldn't let this guy ruin things.
But what Wang Mo didn't know was that Liu Yi had already exposed his intimate behavior and told Wang Zimu, so everything he said and did at this moment was deliberate in Wang Zimu's eyes.
If Wang Zimu really had money, it would be fine, but Wang Zimu didn't have money, which made Wang Zimu feel particularly embarrassed when communicating with Wang Mo, but it was not easy to point it out directly, after all, Wang Mo had never talked to him about investment from beginning to end.
Wang Zimu was still a little anxious, because he was afraid that Wang Mo would keep holding him and keep talking like this. What if he delayed his business? You know, after listening to Liu Yi's words, he was looking forward to the boss of an entertainment company to find him to express his appreciation and then invest in him.
While Wang Mo was not paying attention, Wang Zimu looked helplessly at Liu Yi, who seemed to be separated from him. After seeing Wang Zimu's gaze, the latter smiled.
"Hey, Director Wang, Zimu really needs to ask you for more advice. You don't know that "The Wanderer" is his first documentary, and he sold everything he had to raise 200,000 yuan to shoot it. He was so poor that he ate instant noodles for two years."
Looking at Wang Mo with a dog-fucked expression on his face, Liu Yi laughed in his heart, but said very seriously on his face: "So you really should teach him more experience, at least don't let him be so stupid and use all his family assets to shoot a documentary. I advised him for a long time but he didn't stop, but you are a senior, he should listen to you."
Wang Zimu was also a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect Liu Yi to suddenly point it out, but after listening to Liu Yi's words, and looking at Wang Mo's surprised look, Wang Zimu was relieved.
He hadn't intended to pretend to be a rich second generation, but now that Liu Yi had made it clear, he didn't have to play along with Wang Mo. Thinking of this, Wang Zimu was still very grateful for what Liu Yi had done, and nodded slightly to express his gratitude.
Wang Mo was indeed dumbfounded. He had never expected this result.
His first reaction was that the two were conspiring to deceive him, but now that it had come to this, even if they were deceiving him, what else could he do?
"Director Wang, thank you. Next time if you go to Heicheng, I'll invite you to my house to eat farm food. My mother's cooking is delicious."
"Ah, okay, there'll be a chance next time." Wang Mo nodded perfunctorily. After Liu Yi exposed Wang Zimu's identity, Wang Mo felt that Wang Zimu suddenly didn't look like a rich man. Anyway, it felt weird.
His enthusiasm for Wang Zimu was no longer the same as before. After all, if Wang Zimu had no money, there would be no point in him currying favor with Wang Zimu. Instead, he felt a sense of self-depreciation at this moment.
"I have something else to do. Let's talk next time." Thinking of this, Wang Mo's face darkened. He casually greeted Wang Zimu and left without waiting for Wang Zimu's response.
The warmth and coldness of human feelings made Wang Zimu, who had been mentally prepared, dumbfounded.
"Don't mind it. Some people in this circle are like this. If you are useful to him, he can worship you as an ancestor. If you are useless, he will despise you like used toilet paper and throw it away at will."
"Brother Liu, your description is too disgusting."
"It's a bit disgusting, but it's very vivid, isn't it?" Liu Yi's eyes were out of focus at this time, as if he thought of something. He didn't come back to his senses until Wang Zimu exclaimed twice beside him.
"What's wrong?"
"I saw Nie Wei." Wang Zimu's tone was faintly excited. Nie Wei was definitely the idol of their generation of young directors. He debuted in his twenties and is now less than 30 years old. He is already a well-known director all over the world. This is simply the super template in the dreams of countless young directors.
"Didn't Nie Wei praise you during the award ceremony just now? Do you want to go and say hello?" Liu Yi urged.
Wang Zimu was very tempted, but looking at the big directors and big bosses surrounding Nie Wei in the distance, as well as the big stars who kept appearing nearby, he finally gave up the idea.
That circle is really too high, so high that it makes him daunted. Even those big stars have to line up. If he, a small director, goes there, wouldn't it be a joke? He doesn't think that because of Nie Wei's praise, he really has any relationship with Nie Wei.
"Brother, I'm not saying that you are too thin-skinned. It's not easy to mix in the circle." Liu Yi saw what Wang Zimu was thinking and immediately advised.
"You have to know that you have to be thick-skinned in this circle. You are so reserved that you miss opportunities without realizing it. Think about it, Nie Wei greeted you today and must have an impression of you. If you go over today, you might be able to talk to Nie Wei. Even if it's just a greeting, it will be of great benefit to you."
"But after today, you don't know when you will meet Nie Wei next time, and you don't know whether Nie Wei will still remember you at that time. If you go to greet him then, it will be really self-indulgent."
Liu Yi said earnestly. He hoped from the bottom of his heart that Wang Zimu would take advantage of Nie Wei's light, so that Wang Zimu would have more opportunities, and he would also have more opportunities.
At the same time, he also looked down on Wang Zimu's reserve at the moment. If he had this opportunity, he would have gone over and at least turned around twice in front of Nie Wei.
Wang Zimu was very entangled. On the one hand, he felt that Liu Yi's words made sense, but on the other hand, he still couldn't bring himself to do it.
Liu Yi was so anxious that he wanted to push Wang Zimu in front of Nie Wei if he didn't think the relationship was not yet in place.
Just as Liu Yi was thinking about how to persuade Wang Zimu, Wang Mo was also quietly observing them not far away. Seeing that there seemed to be a dispute between the two, he couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart.
Just as Liu Yi could see Wang Mo's purpose, Wang Mo could actually guess Liu Yi's purpose of approaching Wang Zimu, but in his opinion, Liu Yi's plan was obviously going to fail. Wang Zimu was a complete rookie. If he counted on him as a thigh, he might break his "leg" and Liu Yi would not be able to climb up.
Don't think that being nominated for a best documentary will do anything. Wang Mo has won many best documentary awards, but he is still not doing well.
At this time, the dispute between Liu Yi and Wang Zimu seemed to have come to an end. Wang Zimu walked towards Nie Wei not far away with an "unwilling" look on his face.
Wang Mo smiled when he saw it, thinking that it was a circle for you two trash to mix in?
Look at the people around Nie Wei, who are not big shots in the circle who can shake the world with a stomp of their feet? Even those big stars who are usually high and mighty can only laugh at the side. Liu Yi, a third-rate actor, wants to get familiar with a rookie documentary director?
Wang Mo waited for these two to slap him in the face. It would be best if he annoyed one or two big shots and banned them all to vent his anger.
Wang Zimu was only a few dozen meters away from Nie Wei. It would normally take more than ten seconds to walk this distance, but Wang Zimu backed out several times.
If Liu Yi hadn't stopped him and encouraged him, he would have turned back long ago.
Just like this, they walked one step at a time for more than a minute before the two of them just reached the periphery of Nie Wei's circle. Many people also noticed the movements of the two people and looked at them with a smile. Many people looked at them more like two clowns, full of mockery.
Obviously, most people, like Wang Mo, felt that Liu Yi and Wang Zimu were overestimating their abilities.
What everyone didn't see was that when Nie Wei found Wang Zimu, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
