You Made Me a Superstar - Chapter 473
“It’s impossible to change what the relevant departments have said before. After all, both sides have to be a little more respectable on the bright side. It’s true that both sides have done something inauthentic. An Xiao is too young to take us into account. The feelings of the older generation, let’s be, we are too excited, we didn’t calm down and talk about this matter, it’s actually good to take a step back now…”
“An Xiao also knows the seriousness of the matter and needs our group of people. It is impossible to directly blame the blame for this matter, and to give all the resources to Zhou Yang. Don’t look at how well he is now, but in fact , I really want him to support this circle, he really can’t support it…”
“A lot of things can’t be rushed. I chatted with An Xiao about the movie “Liao Zhai Painted Skin”. After all, there is love. An Xiao has already approved everything in this batch, and his treatment is not as good as Zhou’s. Ocean difference, even better than Zhou Yang…”
“An Xiao also made a big compromise. You see, this statement of “Give up any support” was signed by Zhou Yang… As for why Zhou Yang signed this agreement, do you understand? It was also An Xiao who chatted with Zhou Yang. Chat, I don’t think you can offend us too much, the treatment should be the same for both parties…”
“This matter, An Xiao really has no choice. Next, we and Zhou Yang are on the same starting line. Let’s do it with real swords and real guns!”
“…”
October 2nd afternoon.
Cigarette birds in the conference room.
Zhou Yilin cheerfully stood on the main seat, and followed the directors below him cheerfully talking about the harvest of his trip.
As he said that, he put the statement “giving up any support” signed by Zhou Yang on the projector on the spot.
There was a commotion in the conference room, and several directors were quite shocked. No one would have thought that Zhou Yang would give up so many support projects, and even more unexpectedly signed.
This is extremely unbelievable for these people, and then the commotion gradually subsided. The directors who had been unhappy at first, finally eased a little on their faces.
People are probably like this.
I didn’t, if you did, no matter what the reason, you would feel extremely unhappy in your heart.
But if everyone doesn’t have it, and if you’re a bachelor, then there’s nothing to say.
“Director Zhou, what about our show? My “Our Country”!” Under the stage, Zhao Fang had no interest in the so-called welfare or the so-called support, which meant nothing to him. At this moment, he is most concerned about the release of his movie “Our Country”. It can’t really be delayed until next year, can it?
“I also fought with An Xiao about this matter. An Xiao means that she will not interfere in the film arrangement, as long as we communicate and coordinate with the theater…” Zhou Yilin replied with a smile looking at Zhao Fang.
“Can it be released during the National Day Week in October?” Zhao Fang was obviously not satisfied after hearing the answer, and continued to ask.
“It will be difficult to release on National Day, so we need to communicate with the theaters… But there are too many blockbusters during the Golden Week, so it’s best not to release them at this time, otherwise, they might hit the streets…”
“Oh…”
The entire conference room, which was full of dignified atmosphere, finally relaxed.
…
Zhou Yilin smiled brightly. He used practical actions to prove that the steps were not given by others, but found by himself.
Everyone present was very satisfied with the result of this treatment.
Only Chen Kai in the corner held his chest with both hands, and his face was full of ridicule, feeling that these birdmen were cowardly to the core.
The box office results didn’t come out, and Zhou Yang didn’t even read the script, so I couldn’t hold on!
This is not cowardly what is it?
To say it’s good is that everyone takes a step back, and to say it’s ugly, everyone’s interests are completely ruined by Zhou Yang’s rat shit, and it’s a matter of harming others and self-inflicted to paralyze this guy.
Can this be disgusting?
Chen Kai was full of complaints, but after seeing Zhou Yilin’s high-spirited and smiling “dog traitor” appearance, he didn’t say anything after all.
On the other hand, Django, who was under the stage, was moved for a while, his eyes fixed on Zhou Yilin, but he never came down.
He clearly felt that after Zhou Yilin said such words, directors including Feng Minrui looked at him with seriousness in their eyes.
After the meeting, he hurriedly ran to Zhou Yilin’s side, his eyes were wet with excitement, he almost knelt on Zhou Yilin’s knees, and looked at Zhou Yilin uncontrollably: “Director Zhou, you are my rebirth. parents…”
After Zhou Yilin looked at Jiang Ge’s excited expression, he laughed: “Make a good film, you are a film made on behalf of our Huaxia Film Association. It is difficult to win the treatment of “Liao Zhai Huapi” this time. The relevant departments feel that this film With the color of feudal superstition…”
“thanks, thanks!”
“Okay, let’s go.” Zhou Yilin patted Django on the shoulder and nodded to him.
“I will never fail Director Zhou for your help. I will definitely make a good film, and it will not be worse than the film made by Zhou Yang! I will definitely prove myself!”
“I believe you!”
………………
The sun sets.
Feng Minrui was surrounded by countless directors and left the conference room.
The conference room of the China Film Association returned to silence.
Feng Minrui and Chen Kai did not leave.
Chen Kai followed Feng Minrui into the office, patted the table constantly, scolding this and that, expressing his dissatisfaction.
The directors were united because of their common interests, and they began to be divided because of personal interests, which finally turned this so-called unity into a joke that lost all face.
Feng Minrui listened attentively, neither anger nor disappointment, but felt that sometimes it was quite sad, and at the same time, there was a little sense of absurdity.
Especially when you see that the box office of “The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years” has already reached more than 10 million, and it is very likely that the film’s premiere box office will exceed 20 million, and this sense of absurdity is stronger.
This movie seems to be on fire again!
After Chen Kai finished scolding, he finally sat opposite Feng Minrui and stopped talking.
“ended?”
“I feel sad, Lao Feng, you were high-spirited when you were young, and you were full of momentum in every move. How can you be so cowardly now?”
“Maybe I’m getting old, old Chen, this is the end of the matter. Now you have seen it. The directors below, even Shen Jinsong, have begun to have opinions. Everyone has capital pressure. Stop it…” Feng Minrui looked at Chen Kai and shook his head.
…
“It can’t be delayed for a few months? The relevant departments are now under so much pressure at the box office. I still say that, what does Zhou Yang get? 900 million box office, so many Hollywood blockbusters in the second half of the year…”
“Just to make An Xiao leave a career stain, and then change the position of other positions to sacrifice so many directors’ interests? You are really selfish!”
“Selfish? Or else? They both wear the same pair of trousers. To put it in a nasty way, this is a collusion between officials and businessmen! Maybe the future film industry will be so smoky and dirty by Zhou Yang!”
“Alright, alright, old Chen, I know you’re angry, “Tianji” really hit you a lot, this movie…”
“It’s not that I didn’t make “Tianji” well, Lao Feng, now is the first year, I still say that, in five years, when everyone watches this film again, they will be able to see my love for this film. Everyone will be amazed by the thought and connotation of this epoch, it’s bad because it’s not a product of this era…” After Chen Kai saw Feng Minrui’s expression, his face instantly turned ashen, and he clenched his fists with excitement.
“Alright alright, Lao Chen, you came to see me today, just to talk to me about this?”
“I’m going to make a new movie!” Chen Kai looked at Feng Minrui and took out a script.
“Oh? What movie?”
“The historical film of “The Feast of Hongmen” analyzes the history of Chu and Han from another angle, with an investment of about 300 million… This script is the most amazing script I have seen in the past ten years, and I am in a good state now. , it’s similar to when I was filming “Overlord”…” Chen Kai introduced his new movie.
He is actually such a person.
Sometimes he is like a confident and arrogant poet of literature and art, with his own logic and the pride of a literati in his bones.
Feng Minrui was very interested after seeing that Chen Kai was going to make a new movie, and he said it so eloquently, so he took the script and read it for a while, and then found that the second act of the script was somewhat incomprehensible, but he still smiled. Look at Chen Kai: “Old Chen, tell me, you are looking for me in this movie…”
“I almost invested, you help me think of a way…”
“How much worse?”
“About 100 million.”
“One hundred million… Have you found Xinghui?”
“found.”
“What did Xinghui say?”
“I invested 150 million over there, and I pulled 50 million myself…”
“Historical movies are engaged in such a big battle…”
“Really good movies cost money, and some things can’t be saved… For this movie, I’ll take back all the Oscar foreign language films and the Berlin International Golden Bear Award…” Chen Kai looked at Feng Minrui with a look in his eyes strong confidence.
“Please allow me to think about it.” After Feng Minrui heard the data, he suddenly fell silent, and only said such a sentence after a long while.
………………
Evening.
An Xiao is working overtime in the relevant department and can only come to pick up Zhou Yang after get off work.
Zhou Yang happens to be busy with some things.
When he was busy until about eight o’clock, Zhou Yang saw Zhou Yilin knock on the door and walk in, sitting on the sofa in the office.
“Director Zhou, is the meeting going well?”
…
“It went well, the meeting went well. The people from the Huaxia Directors Association compromised and stopped fighting for the so-called support and through trains, and said they would fully support the shooting of “Liao Zhai Painted Skin”. The plan, he plans to shoot this film for two months, if it goes well, it will be released in this year’s Spring Festival…”
“Oh, good.” Zhou Yang nodded.
“By the way, this time I came to talk to you about the investment in another movie. Chen Kai called me just now. His movie “The Feast of Hongmen” is short of RMB 100 million in investment. Are you interested in investing a few thousand dollars? Wan? This is his script…”
“Chen Kai…”
“Chen Kai’s mouth stinks a bit, but since we’re going to go down the road of capital, we naturally need some wage earners who can fool around…” Zhou Yilin said cheerfully after seeing Zhou Yang’s expression .
“Director Zhou, I have no intention of being capital.” Zhou Yang frowned, then shook his head immediately.
He felt that Zhou Yilin seemed to have misunderstood something.
“Xiao Zhou, don’t frame me, don’t I know what your arrangements are? Your company is expanding like this now, and you say you don’t make capital, who would believe it! This is another cartoon, a theater chain, It’s a website again, oh, yes, even the special effects company is not spared now, if you tell me you don’t make capital, who would believe it…”
“Except for animation, everything else is my fan’s company…”
“Okay, I understand, I understand…” Zhou Yilin saw Zhou Yang’s appearance, he didn’t believe it at all, and then he didn’t delve into these matters, but instead asked: “Xiao Zhou, this is “Hongmen Feast” The script, I got it for you, can you read it?”
“okay.”
Zhou Yang finally took over the script and read it seriously.
But the more he looked at him, the more he frowned. He found that after reading the entire script of “The Feast of Hongmen” for a long time, he didn’t know if it was because of his reserves of history or what reason, he couldn’t understand this movie at all.
Even the second time he saw it, he was still at a loss, not knowing what the story was about…
There are too many characters, the stories are too messy, and the dialogue text is too bad, some dialogues have to check the ancient text, and even some words he doesn’t know.
The incomprehensible movie made Zhou Yang invest, and Zhou Yang felt a little bit of resistance in his heart.
“This movie invested 300 million?”
“Yes, what’s wrong?”
“Well, let’s forget this movie.”
“Do you think this movie might be the second “Overlord”?”
“I…” Zhou Yang hesitated for a while, and when he saw Zhou Yilin’s gaze, he suddenly didn’t know how to answer this sentence.
“Really don’t vote?”
“No, no, no.”
“Oh, okay, that’s fine, by the way… Xiao Zhou, can you let Xingyang Cinemas line up a little bit?”
“what?”
“The movie “Our Country” wants to be released in a prime time slot. I have talked about other theater chains, but the Xingyang Cinema line has been all your films recently, or… you call and let this Is the movie a little squeezed?” Zhou Yilin looked at Zhou Yang.
“…” Zhou Yang was silent.
After watching Zhou Yang’s silence, Zhou Yilin naturally knew that Zhou Yang was in a dilemma, so he looked at Zhou Yang with a smile: “I have no other intentions, that is, the director Zhao Fang and the Huaxia Film Association have recently been in trouble over the matter of “Our Country” It wasn’t very pleasant. When I came here, I called him privately. People’s thoughts are very complicated now… Xiao Zhou, let’s be honest with you, I know you want to control the lifeline of the entire Huaxia Film, but there are some things at the moment, You are so good, I will do it for you. The election of the president of the next Huaxia Directors Association is about to begin. When the time comes, I will be the president… You are you, I am me, behind the scenes, I follow your company Going in the general direction of the association, I will talk to you about the investment and director of every film in the association, how about you control the power of life and death?”
“Director Zhou, is it you who is really ambitious?” Zhou Yang suddenly stared at Zhou Yilin, feeling that this guy was a bit like the Chinese version of Christian.
“Hahaha… Everyone gets what they need.”
