You Made Me a Superstar - Chapter 453

Chapter 453 Four hundred and fifty-one stunning (below)

Since “The Crow”, Wang Shuai has not made other films.

“The Crow” hit Wang Shuai very deeply. He went to Cannes, but didn’t win any substantial awards. The word of mouth was good, and the box office was not bad, but in the end, he didn’t get any awards.

Later, I wanted to write a book that made me a little satisfied, but my hair was almost boiled white, and I couldn’t write anything in the end.

“The Crow” made him exhausted.

His directing level is still there, and his various controls on human nature are still there, but he just couldn’t find a suitable work for him to display.

He thought of Zhou Yang and wanted Zhou Yang to get a few books, but he couldn’t help it for a while. He was complaining with Shen Changwei and he happened to receive a call from Zhou Yang.

Shen Changwei has been quite suffocated recently.

As a literary and commercial film, “one of the representatives of the five generations of directors in China”, he finally pulled “Hero” out, and his business and reputation are good, but he has repeatedly suffered setbacks in the field of awards.

“Hero” went to Berlin, but didn’t get anything, went to Oscar, and finally didn’t get anything, almost didn’t even get in the door of Oscar.

Although the   Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards awarded some substantive awards, they were still awesome in China when they were photographed, and it would be embarrassing to go overseas.

“Over the years, overseas awards have always been like this. If you want to win, you have to shoot some pain points in China. The special effects of “Hero” are really awesome, and the plot is quite deep. Overseas, those foreigners can’t understand, he only knows that people are very dazzling flying around in the sky, but they don’t understand Chinese culture at all…”

“But when I photographed the pain points, some of my buttocks were not right. I specially exposed Huaxia’s ugliness to outsiders…”

“But without the vigilance and encouragement of these films, people would be paralyzed, filming these songs and dances every day, isn’t this the Southern Song Dynasty?”

“This is…”

Shen Changwei and Wang Shuai walked into the conference room while chatting.

Although he belongs to the China Film Association, he has never cared about a bunch of bad things. He has neither followed these people to make a fuss because of the worsening treatment, nor did he support An Xiao’s decision in public. always in a free state.

This time, I followed Wang Shuai to Huaxing, and I just ran over to have a look. I had no other ideas.

“This book is good! Will you play a role?”

“forget it…”

“Huang Feihong continues to let Huo Yuanjie play?”

“Well, let’s continue acting, after all, it’s a series of movies, in addition to the second, there is a third…”

“The third book is out?”

“Not yet, but there is an outline, this part will be shot first.”

“After “The Master 2″, Huo Yuanjie’s net worth has risen a lot, I’m afraid there will be more investment…”

“I will vote for Huaxing!”

“How much to vote?”

“Ten million…”

“Hahaha, this is too little. As a Huaxing production company, you only invest 10 million yuan. This is really too little, isn’t it? Isn’t it 100 million yuan?”

“The company has invested too much recently, and if you invest more, it will not be able to turn around.”

“Okay, OK, no problem, let’s make this plate bigger. In addition to the investment, the company will take 30% of the box office share, and I will find someone for the remaining 70%…”

“I talked to Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Zhang is willing to invest 100 million…”

“That’s okay, I don’t have to find anyone anymore, haha, I’ve been waiting for your script for “The Grand Master 2″ for so long, I’ve been looking for you many times, and now it’s finally finished.”

When they came over, Huang Jiacheng was already in the conference room.

Huang Jiacheng chatted with Zhou Yang about “The Master 2” with a smile on his face, and his body that was close to two meters was like a hill even when sitting.

After talking about filming and investment, Huang Jiacheng held the book “The Grandmaster 2 Top Gun” and couldn’t put it down.

Compared with Wang Shuai and Shen Changwei, Huang Jiacheng is now at the peak of his career. Although “The Grandmaster” has not won many awards overseas, it has won numerous awards in China, and it has also broken historical records in the overseas box office. After a wave, it has become the number one Chinese film box office for a period of time.

Shen Changwei, Wang Shuai and Huang Jiacheng said hello and sat down.

Wang Shuai looked at Zhou Yang…

found that compared with the previous days, at this moment Zhou Yang looks very haggard, with scary dark circles under his eyes, but his eyes are very energetic, as if a flame is burning, and his fighting spirit is high.

This made it difficult for Wang Shuai to connect with the once inferior and slightly shy young man for a while, and made Wang Shuai think that he saw the wrong person or that Zhou Yang was taken away by something.

“Director Wang…I wonder if you are interested in Infernal Affairs 2?”

“”Infernal Affairs 2″?”

“Yes, that is, with Liu Jianming as the protagonist, it mainly tells the story of Liu Jianming’s schizophrenia and some schizophrenia after Chen Yongren’s death. This is probably the outline of the story…”

“Oh? Let me see.”

After Zhou Yang roughly handed the script to Wang Shuai, he looked at Shen Changwei again, his eyes began to become slightly hot, and the flame seemed to be more intense: “Director Shen, are you thinking of making a movie recently?”

“Yes, yes, but it’s hard to decide for a while…” Zhou Yang’s words came straight to the point, making Shen Changwei a little uncomfortable for a while.

“Are you missing a script?”

“The script is always missing.”

“Can you tell me roughly what type of script you want?”

“Huh?” After Shen Changwei heard Zhou Yang’s reckless question, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face flashed a little weird: “Can you make up a book on the spot according to my idea, or do you have a lot of books?”

“You talk first?” Zhou Yang looked at Shen Changwei with a look of anticipation on his face.

“This…” Shen Changwei frowned slightly, he suddenly felt that this was a bit hasty, after hesitating for a while, he didn’t know how to respond to Zhou Yang for a while.

“Let’s talk about it. Which of the several books Xiao Zhou has compiled is the worst one. It needs business and business, and literature and art…” Wang Shuai said while flipping through the script of “Infernal Affairs 2”, without looking back. with this sentence.

“Haha, Director Zhou, I said I want to make a foreign language film for the Oscars, can you?” Looking at Zhou Yang’s serious appearance, Shen Changwei felt that Zhou Yang was too confident, so he joked.

He thought that after he asked this question, Zhou Yang’s face would be embarrassed, at least he would retreat, but he didn’t expect Zhou Yang to sit back in the chair instead, did not reply immediately, and did not feel much embarrassment, Instead, he fell into deep thought.

The meeting room suddenly became quiet.

After this silence lasted for three or four minutes, Huang Jiacheng stood up and greeted the two cheerfully: “You are busy first, I will leave first.”

When Shen Changwei and Wang Shuai responded to Huang Jiacheng, Huang Jiacheng left the conference room with the script.

The conference room suddenly became quiet again.

Wang Shuai was reading the script of “Infernal Affairs 2”, but Zhou Yang, who was sitting in the main seat, lowered his head, picked up a pen and paper, and thought deeply while writing.

Shen Changwei looked at Zhou Yang’s serious look, his joking mood gradually disappeared, and turned into worry.

He actually admires Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang’s movies, from “The Bottom of the Mine” to “Infernal Affairs”, he has seen every movie.

He naturally knew that after Venice came back, the directors of the China Film Association suddenly attacked Zhou Yang, and Zhou Yang’s life might be difficult.

is equivalent to one person facing so many directors in China, and then cooperating with the theater chain and various capitals to threaten the relevant departments with box office results…

In this stall, will the relevant departments sacrifice Zhou Yang alone, or will they sacrifice the directors of the older generation?

Things speak for themselves.

Even if An Xiao has a close relationship with Zhou Yang, as a newcomer, how long can she last and how long can she withstand the pressure?

Three billion!

Including “Infernal Affairs” and the box office completed by Zhou Yang, there are still 900 million box office tasks.

Three months!

To complete the 900 million box office task, unless there is another big hit like “Infernal Affairs”, how can it be done?

However, the box office of “Infernal Affairs” is generally considered to be water-filled by the outside world. Even if the script of “Infernal Affairs 2” is excellent, even if there is another charity marketing, it is unlikely to reach 700 million!

And the Chinese market is not all given to you Zhou Yang. You must know that there are not many Hollywood movies in the second half of the year. Although there are not many blockbusters except “Jaws” at present, Hollywood movies always have a few explosions every year. This is normal, and Hollywood movies will inevitably squeeze the living space of “Infernal Affairs 2”.

Various factors come down…

900 million box office tasks!

How to do it?

Time continues to pass bit by bit, half an hour later…

Wang Shuai read the script of “Infernal Affairs 2” and raised his head with great satisfaction. When he looked at Zhou Yang, who had been writing on the theme, he did not speak, but put the script outline in his arms.

Then, the door of the conference room opened.

Feng Kai rushed in and said, “Mr. Zhou, I have prepared the filming ideas of several young directors and the types of movies they are good at. They are outside now, do you want to see them? Ah, Director Shen , Director Wang…”

Feng Kai’s voice broke the calm in the conference room.

Shen Changwei nodded to Feng Kai and was about to say something when he saw Zhou Yang standing up and holding the script outline he had written.

“Let’s meet now… Let’s see what type of movie they want to make, let’s see if I can figure out the corresponding script…”

“okay.”

“Director Shen, I’ve finished writing the general script outline, take a look and I’ll go out and do some work.”

“okay!”

Shen Changwei nodded, followed by the script outline, but saw that the script was called “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”…

After Zhou Yang left, he subconsciously picked up the script and read it…

At first he was quite distracted, but then his expression suddenly changed to shock!

“Grass!”
