You Made Me a Superstar - Chapter 471

Chapter 471 Those Years Premiere (Part 1)

“What did “Our Country” say? Did the above agree?”

“Wait a moment.”

“President Feng, how long do we have to wait? Didn’t we say that there will be no movies released on October 1st, and the relevant departments will come and beg us? It’s not that this year’s November, Hollywood will have a very strong impact on China’s movies, which will affect the The entire domestic film market, why didn’t you follow what you said, and that “Sniper Phone Booth” has been increased in the number of films!”

“Director Zhao, calm down a little bit”

“I’m calm now, but the capital behind it is not. After the release of “Sniper Phone Booth”, they called me almost every few minutes. Look, it’s the early morning of October 2nd, and it’s already been three More than a dozen calls, lo and behold, here comes again…”

“This matter has to be negotiated. Everything is based on the common interests of our association. Director Zhao, you must have team spirit…”

“Is the team spirit going to sacrifice me? I thought it was not good to go against the relevant departments!”

“Not with the relevant department, but with An Xiao…”

“It’s the same, it’s all now, what did Xu Kangnian say now? He didn’t even put a single fart, how smart they are, while slandering us that we want us to beat An Xiao down, but at the same time he is afraid that the people behind An Xiao will not dare to tell the truth. Come on, we’re all cannon fodder!”

“You calm down!”

“How can I be calm? Damn it, I heard that “Our Country” will not be released in October. Maybe it will be scheduled for next year… How can you keep me calm!”

“…”

The China Film Association is united on the surface.

But this solidarity is based on interests and capital.

When both of them were damaged to a certain extent, the originally united association began to have a sign of fragmentation.

In Feng Minrui’s office, Zhao Fang with bloodshot eyes stood in front of Feng Minrui. He was so excited that he was out of breath, and his whole body was shaking like an epilepsy patient.

As a five-generation director who has worked hard for many years and is finally making his way, the film “Our Country” has almost exhausted all Zhao Fang’s efforts, and hopes to make this film released on October 1st. .

two weeks ago.

He was called into this office by Feng Minrui.

Feng Minrui chatted with him about daily life, about the future, about five generations of directors, and about six generations of directors of the new generation.

At first, he was said to be a little enthusiastic, but after chatting, he talked about the current situation of the Chinese film industry, and talked about the “mouse shit” of Zhou Yang. The chaos will be turned upside down, and by that time, these old people will have no place in China.

Zhao Fang was said to be filled with a sense of righteous indignation, especially when he thought of the cancellation of the “authority channel” of the relevant departments, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of crisis. It was inevitable that the rabbit would die and the fox would be sad.

However, he never dreamed that Feng Minrui’s next words would be so terrifying. In order to suppress Zhou Yang, and to make An Xiao, the newly-appointed leader, fall down, he even asked him to delay “Our Country” show…

He was shocked at the time, and naturally refused immediately.

Isn’t this against the relevant departments?

Seeing the rejection, Feng Minrui was not surprised, but patiently started ideological work with Zhao Fang.

After chatting about his retirement, the director of the Five Dynasties was Zhao Fang, and promised to support him in all aspects. At the same time, in order to reassure him, he explained to him that it was not just his films that were delayed.

Shen Jinsong’s “Sword God”, Xiao Bin’s police and gangster film “Darkness” and other films that are preparing to fight against Hollywood in the second half of the year are all delayed. In fact, it is not against the relevant departments, but to discuss with the relevant departments, and Promise a delay of at most one day, and on October 2, the relevant departments will send someone to talk to them about the release and so on.

After chatting all morning, Zhao Fang actually believed it, and he did it…

But no one could have imagined that the movie released on October 1st actually exceeded everyone’s expectations.

The weather in the early morning was a little cold.

The office became silent.

Feng Minrui saw that Zhao Fang, who was afraid of the table and uttered a few swear words, had a slight chill on his face, but the chill disappeared instantly and turned into a gentle smile.

“Don’t worry, today is for this purpose, so everyone came over to have a meeting together… We, the older generation, are obvious to all in the film industry. At most, I will give up this old face and go talk to An Xiao. and…”

Zhao Fang’s lips moved.

but ended up saying nothing.

The    anger has also disappeared, and I know that this is the end of the matter. It is useless to get angry now. The most urgent thing is how to solve this problem.

At four in the morning, someone came to the office again.

Shen Jinsong came over, he followed Zhao Fang and nodded, then glanced at Feng Minrui, but sat silently on the chair next to him, lit a cigarette for himself and smoked.

“Not smooth?”

“How did it go well? People are so arrogant now, Lao Cao and I even sat on the cold bench in the past…” Feng Minrui also saw that there was a little resentment in Shen Jinsong’s heart: “Now it is clear that we are dispensable. , people don’t even show us the script… with the attitude of coming if you like it, and getting out of it if you don’t, I have never experienced such an atmosphere in my life…”

The atmosphere in the office was quiet again.

Just at this time, Cao Bangguo took Django and pushed in the door. After Cao Bangguo greeted everyone, he moved a stool and sat on the edge of the corner.

Django lowered his head slightly from beginning to end. Although he was the vice president, all the people present were his elders. He always had no right to speak in such an office meeting.

“Damn! I don’t believe Zhou Yang can be so powerful, he’s a fart! I don’t believe that every movie he makes is popular. Is he a fairy or a monster? Damn it!”

Not long after Cao Bangguo came, Chen Kai’s scolding voice came from outside the office.

He came with Zhou Yilin, obviously with anger on his face…

Zhou Yilin was listening, laughing and echoing a few words. When the two came in, the entire conference room began to feel extremely crowded and stuffy.

“When everyone’s here, let’s simply have a meeting.”

“Um.”

………………

This night, many people in the Huaxia film industry were insomnia.

but not including Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang slept beautifully in the villa. After waking up, he had a leisurely breakfast and received a call from Guan Tong.

Guan Tong invited him to Xingyang Cinema to watch the premiere of the movie “The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years”.

For this “The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years”, the industry generally has a view that is not too expected, and is unlikely to become a hit, but steady progress.

The viewers who watch the movie are actually more Buddhist…

“The Sniper Phone Booth box office was 25 million yesterday…”

“Because of the addition of a “Sniper Phone Booth” film, the box office data of “Jaws” and “Men in Black” have both declined, but “Jaws” is still maintained at 40 million, “Men in Black” is one. Ten million, as a movie that has been released for 25 days, it is really amazing to have such box office data…”

“The outside world generally rated the premiere of the film “The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years” at 13 million. The youth film, under the siege of so many blockbusters, can get more than 10 million in the premiere. The box office is already pretty good, and the director is also quite satisfied with this premiere, after all, due to the promotion of the 11th, the pre-sale tickets are quite ordinary in all aspects…”

“Liu Can and Director Liu’s execution is very strong, and the crew of “Crazy Stone” has already begun to look for actors in the circle. Director Zhang Changsheng’s “All the Way to Laughing Flowers” is faster than Liu Can and Director Liu, and has already brought a group of Man, the filming has already started, and he just sent me a progress report, saying that the film will be finished in November, and the project “Eavesdropping” has just been filed…”

In the car, Xu Mei told Zhou Yang some movie information related to her company, and nodded while listening: “How is Song Qianqian’s new album?”

“The new album “The Farthest Distance” is being warmed up. Song Qianqian herself means that she intends to give fans a surprise on October 4th, but even so, this album has already been released in various post bars and fan groups. It has been spread, Qgou Music, Kuwo Music, and Sodu Music’s online music have already prepared the advertising space on October 4th, and it will be released on the whole network at that time. The physical album is relatively conservative, after all, it is now The physical industry is getting more and more sluggish, and this time, only 40,000 physical albums have been prepared…”

“Oh.”

Zhou Yang nodded.

Then he leaned on his seat and closed his eyes. The company has gradually started to go on the right track, and everything is fine.

At this moment, Xu Mei received a call.

After answering the phone, Xu Mei hesitated for a moment, then looked at Zhou Yang: “The Golden Horse Awards on Taiwan Island is going to come over and send us an invitation letter in person, and they even gave us a visit before…”

“Didn’t he send us an invitation letter? Why did he send it now?”

“I guess I’m under pressure… and this time the invitation letter was sent, it seems that Django was sent over there…”

“Django? What does this have to do with Django?”

“It should be Feng Minrui, Director Feng’s compromise, Feng Minrui is from Taiwan, and has always maintained a good relationship with the Golden Horse Awards…”

“Oh.”

“Shall we go?”

“No, these awards mean nothing to me…”

“The influence of the Golden Horse Award is still quite large in China. Feng Kai and Feng Dao have been very entangled recently. His “Jin Yi Wei” is also among the invited ranks…”

Zhou Yang fell into a long silence after hearing this.

Some awards have no substantive significance to him now, but they are of great significance to Feng Kai and the rest of the company.

Feng Kai has not won any substantial awards since “The Bottom of the Mine”…

Just when Zhou Yang was silent, Xu Mei’s phone rang again, Xu Mei answered the phone and looked at Zhou Yang: “The Golden Horse Awards invite you to be the guest of honor…”

Zhou Yang did not answer Xu Mei’s words, but continued to close his eyes and rest.

The    car soon arrived at the Xingyang Cinema.

He opened his eyes and then opened the car door in anticipation of countless reporters and fans.

“Tell Director Feng, during the Golden Horse Awards, I was going to shoot “Spider-Man”. If it’s convenient, let him represent “Infernal Affairs” and “Jin Yiwei” at the Golden Horse Awards, I won’t go… ”

Zhou Yang looked at the crowded Xingyang Cinema, at Guan Tong who had been waiting for a long time in the distance, and the awe-inspiring eyes of a group of young actors, with a faint smile on his face.
