You Made Me a Superstar - Chapter 455
Chapter 455 Can he really support this circle?
[Li Minghua’s Movie: “The Great Case” announced the temporary abandonment of eleven files! 】
【Eleven Chinese films are likely to be cold, and there is no one that exceeds 100 million yuan? 】
[Chen Kai, Vice President of the China Film Association: We should give newcomers a chance, we are not those who occupy the pit without shitting…]
【…】
September 18 evening.
There are several news that shocked countless filmmakers from the Chinese film industry.
Li Minghua’s movie “The Great Case” was originally the most anticipated movie during the Golden Week.
This film is based on a confusing and bizarre murder case in the last century. It has not yet been solved. Li Minghua is the head of suspense movies in China that has been silent for a long time. Before the millennium, he once worked on Hong Kong Island. Countless classic suspense-solving movies have been made to surprise fans, but unfortunately, after the millennium, there is suddenly no news…
Three years ago, Zhou Yang announced the start of filming in the film industry before Zhou Yang was urging him to work and pay off his debts. There were rumors in the circle that this film was a film that director Li Minghua had sharpened for ten years. Millennium Year to date, I have been polishing the script of this film. When October 2007, the film will be officially released…
When I saw the news, the expectations of the fans were full, especially in late September, when all the fans eagerly waited to buy the pre-sale tickets and enter the theater to watch the movie.
But no one could have imagined that “Shocking Answers”, like movies such as “Darkness Lurking” and “Sword God”, inexplicably announced the withdrawal of the file!
And there was no sign of it before.
After honing a sword for ten years, and preparing to take advantage of the huge traffic on the 11th Golden Week to return to slaughter the gods and destroy the demons, the sudden withdrawal caused an uproar in the entire film circle.
Countless filmmakers contacted Li Minghua one after another, hoping that Li Minghua could give an explanation.
Isn’t this crazy?
As a result, they could not ask any news, and Li Minghua kept silent.
The producer only said that this is “content adjustment, so that the movie can better bring movie fans a viewing experience.”
Some people in the circle who know the expertise have gradually become worried from eating melons at the beginning.
They realized that the directors of the Huaxia Directors Association seemed to be suicidal to withdraw their files in order to fight for their breath.
Isn’t suicide?
11th Golden Week!
That is an explosion of traffic, a rare opportunity to make money for Huaxia Movies!
In the past few years, countless capitals have been staring at this schedule, fighting to the death and fighting over the amount of film production!
Does this mean giving up means giving up?
How did these directors convince the capital behind them to be willful with them?
Weird!
This is so weird.
In addition to being weird, the filmmakers also felt a sense of imminent storm.
Especially the Huaxia Directors Association, Chen Kai’s sentence “Occupy the pit without shitting” is really too directional, almost pointing at the nose and sneering.
These remarks were instantly posted on Weibo, and it didn’t take long for them to madly occupy the hot searches of major media. Countless media reporters were so excited that they called the directors one after another to ask how this matter would play out. What kind of result became, some people even asked: “Will there be no Chinese blockbuster released this year…” and so on.
In the past, these directors were very humble, when they said things, they would be very obscure and never directly answer certain questions.
“There shouldn’t be…”
“But there should be works by young directors. We shouldn’t focus on us directors, we should pay more attention to those young directors…”
“As for whether we can afford the box office, this is not our concern, but young people will always suffer some setbacks, so that they can truly grow up…”
“Isn’t Mr. Zhou very good? You can go to interview Mr. Zhou. I believe that Mr. Zhou should be in a good mood now. He is good at being small and big. Maybe Mr. Zhou can surprise everyone on October 1st. , we will wait and see.”
“…”
Xinghui entrance.
Chen Kai faced inquiries from countless reporters with a smile on his face, then glanced at the noisy audience, and finally let the security guards **** him into Xinghui.
………………
“Let them toss, we won’t wait!”
“Yeah, whoever loves will come, let Zhou Yang carry the box office on the eleventh.”
“I really think Zhou Yang alone can support the Chinese box office? What a joke…”
“Let them quarrel on the Internet, let them question it, tear up the face, can these people still suppress us all?”
“Sooner or later, we will compromise, don’t worry… Today I have done ideological work with Li Minghua and Director Li, and he is now in line with us.”
“Hollywood is better. Hey, that place is free. It’s not like this China. If you want creative freedom, you don’t have creative freedom. If you want freedom of speech, you don’t have freedom of speech. Just kidding! I really envy Zhao Sicheng, Director Zhao!”
“…”
In the conference room.
A bunch of directors were noisy and full of resentment.
In the last meeting, they gave An Xiao an ultimatum, either they should take a step back and cooperate well, or they would just throw the table off and everyone should stop playing.
As a result, An Xiao didn’t give them a shot at all.
So, they all started to overturn the table, and overturned the table completely, almost suicidal.
“The Great Case” directed by Li Minghua was the withdrawal that Feng Minrui and Shen Jinsong went to chat with. At first, Li Minghua was reluctant, but after being talked about by the two, he finally chose to temporarily withdraw the document.
Django and Cao Bangguo also participated in this “Director’s Conference”.
It is said to be a director meeting, but it is actually a meeting to express grievances.
But Django huddled in the corner, looking at the gang of cursing directors with a bit of worry on his face.
In particular, Feng Minrui and Chen Kai seemed to be stunned, or they seemed to be obsessed with evil. Somehow they began to become extreme, and then they seemed to be obsessed with evil.
“It’s been a year, we’ve retreated, we’ve retreated again, we’ve retreated to the corner, and we’ve got nowhere to retreat!”
“Everyone, many things require us to fight, we fight, we can get things!”
“If we don’t fight or rob, others think we old men are easy to bully!”
“I hope you will have a good chat with your apprentices or the young directors in our association. After the eleventh, everything will be fine.”
“…”
on the theme.
Feng Minrui waved his hand and told everyone to keep quiet, and when it was really quiet, he said these words to everyone.
Feng Minrui deserves to be a good leader.
After said a few words, Django’s blood boiled.
But after calming down, Django felt scared.
What happened to these people?
How dare you sing against the relevant departments!
After the meeting, he wanted to have a good chat with Cao Bangguo, but found that Cao Bangguo had just chatted with him briefly. After he got the investment in “Liao Zhai Painted Skin”, he just nodded and said a few words of approval.
Cao Bangguo has been busy with various preparations for “The Man of Righteousness” recently, and has paid very little attention to Django.
The two sides seem to have suddenly become estranged. They are not strangers, but there is a barrier between them, so many times Django tried to talk to Cao Bangguo and couldn’t have a chance.
Django looked at the direction Cao Bangguo was leaving, and felt a little empty in his heart.
“Your teacher felt that you didn’t follow the path he paved, and you broke his heart…”
At this moment, Feng Minrui came over and patted Django on the shoulder.
Django’s heart was very complicated when he heard the words.
“Director Feng, I think…”
“Do you think I’m crazy and sing the opposite of the relevant departments?” As if seeing through Django’s words, Feng Minrui said with a smile: “You are still too young after all, in fact, each of us wants to make Huaxia Movies change. To be better, at the same time, to become more brilliant, and to want our Huaxia Films to go out to the world and let the world pay attention, but the appearance of Zhou Yang has messed up the rules of the entire industry…”
“Director Feng, what are the rules?”
“Look at what he did? In order for “Infernal Affairs” to get a high box office, he wrapped up the kindness of the fans, what donation, what kind of charity, does he think he is a contemporary Virgin? Isn’t this breaking the rules?, And it’s a movie, an animation, a figure, and now it’s a theater, the cake is so big, he wants to eat it all and swallow it all by himself, who would want to? We don’t want to, the capital behind us Even more unwilling… We actually talked to Hua Xing and invited Zhou Yang to join our Huaxia Film Association, but… you know, he refused!”
“But, aren’t you afraid of Hollywood movies…”
“The Chinese film industry must be united. Only by unity can we resist foreign enemies. In many cases, we must fight against foreign enemies first! This cancer must be removed! It’s better to harm other places…”
“If relevant departments block…”
“We are wronged, they know we are wronged… I will call Vice An to discuss it again. If necessary, we can take a step back…”
“…”
Feng Minrui had a long conversation with Django.
Django nodded subconsciously while listening.
At first, Feng Minrui thought that what Feng Minrui said made sense, and he should have felt very happy when he hated Zhou Yang.
However, he did not feel happy.
Not long after, Zhou Yilin also came out.
He saw that Zhou Yilin wanted to say something, but saw Zhou Yilin looking at him with a smile, telling him not to speak, and motioning him to follow.
“Director Zhou… What do you think about this?” After getting in the car, Django asked this question.
“I’ll take you to see the special effects company, and the budget can be saved by more than 40 million!”
“real?”
“Yes!”
“Pioneer? This is not the one that went out of business before…”
“No, it has now been acquired by the capital and has cooperated with [Digital Domain], and the equipment in all aspects has reached the current international top-class level.”
“This, true or false?”
“real!”
“Who is the capital? Is it Director Zhou…” Django stared at Zhou Yilin as if he had realized something.
“Haha.” Zhou Yilin smiled lightly without denying it.
is indeed “Director Zhou”, isn’t it?
A few hours later…
Django came out of the Trailblazer special effects company with excitement.
He chatted a lot with Zheng He, the head of the Trailblazers, and at the same time met several employees of the internationally renowned [Digital Domain] special effects. They put forward countless constructive comments on “Liao Zhai Painted Skin”, which made Django suddenly enlightened. .
After left the special effects company, it was already the early morning of September 19th.
Django came home, couldn’t fall asleep with excitement, and was full of plans for the shooting of “Liao Zhai Painted Skin”.
He simply turned on the computer, ready to watch news or videos.
Then…
He found that Chen Kai’s hot searches, including those of Li Minghua and others, were all suppressed.
It seems that the relevant departments have taken action.
Just at this time…
He suddenly saw another amazing Weibo.
[Huaxing announced that it will shoot the following films written by Mr. Zhou Yang: “Infernal Affairs 2”, “The Grandmaster 2”, “Crazy Stone”, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, “Eavesdropping”, “Jin Yiwei 2” , “Spider-Man”…]
After watching a series of movies, Django saw the expected release date of these movies!
From October to December, these movies will be released one after another!
“Is this person crazy too? Do you really think your script can survive the entire Chinese film industry?”
Immediately after…
saw another movie planned to be released on October 1st, this movie is called “The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years”.
This movie is not a movie written by Zhou Yang, but it is produced by Zhou Yang’s company, a youth film supervised by Zhou Yang, written and directed by Guan Tong, in which the theme song of the movie “Those Years” seems to be edited by Zhou Yang ‘s tune.
Guan Tong is a maverick director. Although he is one of the members of the Huaxia film circle, he has never come to hold a meeting.
Feng Minrui seems to have talked to Guan Tong about the release of “The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years”, but Guan Tong’s attitude is very firm, saying that it must be released, and that it is a big deal to withdraw from the meeting.
Then…
Feng Minrui gave up.
This movie can be released, but I can understand it.
After hesitating for a while, Django looked down again and saw Shen Changwei announce that he would spend ten days to make a movie, which is expected to be released in early October.
“Another movie written by Zhou Yang?”
“and many more!”
“Ten days to make a movie, what happened to Shen Changwei, is he crazy with Zhou Yang? Ten days, is it to fill in the blanks and make a mess of movies?”
Django’s head just felt cluttered.
Almost instinctively swiped Weibo again.
followed up with amazing advance tickets and stills for the Jaws movie coming out tomorrow.
Especially after seeing “Consultant” and “One of the screenwriters” specially marked the word “Zhou Yang” in Chinese, although he knew it for a long time, Django only felt that his head was buzzing.
“How can he write any script?”
“Isn’t it possible, this guy really supports the whole movie circle?”
“Impossible, he can’t make every movie a hit!”
A very ridiculous idea came to mind.
For a while, his Dao Heart was frustrated, but then, he desperately shook his head.
“Take a good photo, my [Liao Zhai Painted Skin] will also be a hit!”
It’s another… one more
