You Made Me a Superstar - Chapter 490
Chapter 490 That Kiss
“Sorry, Director Zhou, I’ve already made up my mind, and what I’ve decided will often never be changed again.”
“…”
“Director Zhou, I started from nothing, I have experienced all kinds of hardships and difficulties, and I have seen life and death, what can I not understand…”
“…”
“Director Zhou, don’t worry!”
Early morning on October 14th.
Zhou Yang received a call from Huaxia.
The call was from Zhou Yilin. Zhou Yilin first reminisced with Zhou Yang, congratulations on the great success of the symphony concert, and then asked Zhou Yang if he was really creating his own music as he talked about in the interview. When his career reached an unprecedented height, when he was able to get close to the master by kicking his legs, he suddenly ran to shoot the superhero movie “Spider-Man”. After confirming that Zhou Yang had such an idea, he seemed a little anxious, and persuaded him again immediately. Zhou Yang got up.
Sitting on the chair of the Vienna Royal Hotel, watching the rising sun in the distance, he smiled and shook his head.
After hearing that Zhou Yang’s words were very firm, and it was useless to persuade him, the other end of the phone finally fell silent.
After a long while, he finally stopped persuading him. He just changed other topics and chatted with Zhou Yang about the domestic film situation and the current Chinese film situation.
Zhou Yang listened carefully.
The current situation is very good.
The total box office of the movie “Sniper Phone Booth”, which has been released for 13 days, has exceeded 370 million, and it is a matter of time before 400 million. Zhou Yilin’s current status in the Chinese director circle has risen, and he is already the most popular director among the five generations of directors. There is no one, and “Sniper Phone Booth” has been planned as an overseas export film in mid-October, and is ready to be officially launched in North America in late October.
“The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years” was released for 12 days. Although the box office performance was not as amazing as that of “Sniper Phone Booth”, it has exceeded 230 million. According to the current trend, it has exceeded 350 million. Not a problem.
The total box office of “Men in Black” has exceeded 720 million, and it is only about 10 million away from the box office of “Panda Man”.
As for “Jaws”, after the madness of the October Golden Week, the film has been released for 20 days, and the box office has already exceeded 800 million. Although the daily box office data has decreased to about 30 million per day, you must know that this film is released. In less than a month, everyone thought that the box office of this movie is the ultimate limit of one billion, but according to the current situation, the box office of this movie is very likely to exceed one billion, or even reach 1.1 billion, twelve 100 million!
When talking about the box office, Zhou Yilin on the phone looked very excited and excited.
Zhou Yang remained calm, and there were no waves in his heart.
The box office data of 100 million to 100 million seems to have become a simple data and symbol at this moment.
The height of standing is not the same, and the things you think are naturally different…
He will not be lost by these so-called honors, so he will get lost in the highly anticipated sense of honor, and finally sink into it. Instead, he will know more clearly what he is going to do next.
“Are you really not going home with those musicians?”
“No…”
“Then where are you going?”
“The Spider-Man crew…”
“Next week is the general election of the Huaxia Film Association. In this election, Feng Minrui will most likely not be re-elected. You really don’t think about watching his jokes?”
“No way.”
“Okay, by the way, Xiao Zhou, I think sometimes it’s not easy to do things to kill them all, what do you think?”
“Huh?” Zhou Yang felt a little dazed when he heard Zhou Yilin’s sudden change of words on the other end of the phone, and carefully said this sentence in a tentative tone.
Exterminate?
What slaughter?
“Xiao Zhou, the people from the Huaxia Film Association, although what they do is really not human, a few old guys can be regarded as cancers of the industry, hindering the flourishing development of the industry… But even if there are mistakes, we still need a lot of things slowly. Tuzhi, it’s not a bad thing for them to collapse all at once, what do you think?” Zhou Yilin on the other end of the phone was still testing, and his words were more cautious than before, as if his subordinates were talking to the leader.
“Director Zhou, I don’t know what you mean very well, can you be a bit more blunt?” Zhou Yang took a deep breath.
“Xiao Zhou, let me tell you this, there are a lot of resources in the Huaxia Film Association, which can actually be shared. Controlling the Huaxia Film Association actually has many unexpected benefits…”
“Director Zhou, you want to participate in this election, and then you need to sell other people’s face? Is that what you mean?” After Zhou Yang listened to Zhou Yilin walking around, he suddenly felt that his head was getting bigger. Finally couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s not rude, and it’s not that I want to participate in this election. If someone else comes to power, if it’s Chen Kai, he won’t be able to make trouble for you? After you left China for a while, the film industry won’t be able to. Become smoky? Don’t look at Chen Kai, who is being suppressed now, but this person is still a bit backstage, but he really made him come up…”
“Director Zhou, so what do you want to do?” Zhou Yang asked with a slight frown after listening to Zhou Yilin keep talking about the situation when Chen Kai and others came to power.
“Tell Miss An, now in mid-October, the box office of “Jaws” and “Men in Black” have both begun to decline, especially “Men in Black”, the attendance rate has dropped by more than half, and now there is no other The movie is vacant, why don’t you let Xiao Bin’s police and gangster movie “Darkness” come out first… This movie has invested nearly 200 million yuan. If it drags on, Xiao Bin will not be able to stand it. Everyone else has done things behind their backs. But I can use my personality to guarantee that Xiao Bin has never done it. Like Zhao Fang, the director of “Our Country”, he is trapped and can’t do anything about it. By the way, there is also the director of “The Beast” Zhang Liansong…”
“Director Zhou, didn’t the producer discuss the film arrangement with the original?” Zhou Yang frowned.
“But in October, I heard that in order to fill some vacancies, the relevant departments will move the Hollywood movies released in November and December to the end of October. An Xiao’s application report has been sent to Xu Kangnian… I know that An Xiao is for us. of other films, so that other films can fully make money at the box office for the next two months, but…”
“Director Zhou, this is what Deputy An did… Would you like to call Deputy An? I…”
“Aren’t you wearing the same pair of pants? You are blowing by the pillow next to you…”
“…”
Zhou Yang smiled bitterly when he heard this.
What pillow wind, what the same pair of pants.
Zhou Yang didn’t know what to say for a while, and finally he could only sigh: “We’re just making movies, it’s up to the top to arrange it, I’m not Feng Minrui, Feng Director, no matter what, we have to be honest. Just do your own thing…”
“ok, I get it.”
Zhou Yilin on the other end of the phone was a little disappointed, and after a few more chats, he hung up the phone.
Zhou Yang then looked out the window again, and saw that the morning sun outside the window had already lit up the land, full of warmth and comfort.
Finally looked down at the phone again.
He always reminds himself that he is a director, no matter what his relationship with An Xiao is in private, but at work, An Xiao is An Xiao, and he is himself.
There is still a sense of distance.
Just as Zhou Yang was thinking about it, there was a knock at the door.
Zhou Yang opened the door and walked past, only to see An Xiao walking over.
“How long will it take this time?”
“Spider-Man has been delayed for too long, at least we have to finish filming Spider-Man and come back.”
“Oh, is the visa okay?”
“No problem, Sister Xu Mei has arrangements, basically every few days she will help to renew it…”
“Oh.”
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.
An Xiao looked at Zhou Yang.
His eyes were slightly rippling, and there was a brief flash of complex reluctance.
Once upon a time, the timid but stubborn big boy standing on the edge of the coal mine is now standing at the height of everyone’s attention, which amazes countless people.
But somehow, he doesn’t seem to have changed at all, he is still the same as he used to be.
This time, An Xiao had a hunch that Zhou Yang would be gone for a long time.
No matter what the box office of a superhero movie is, the production cost and investment are all there, and the corresponding time will also be consumed on the way to shoot.
“What are your thoughts on the Huaxia Film Association?” An Xiao turned her head slightly and looked out the window. She kept her heart calm and prevented Zhou Yang from seeing the complex emotions in her eyes.
“No…” Zhou Yang shook his head.
“Zhou Yilin wants to be the president of the China Film Association, but Feng Minrui also wants to be re-elected… So Zhou Yilin…”
Before An Xiao finished speaking, the phone rang.
An Xiao then glanced at the number and answered the phone in front of Zhou Yang.
The call was from Zhou Yilin.
“Anke, in fact, I shouldn’t have made this call, but after thinking about it for a long time, for Xiaozhou, I had to make this call…”
“…”
Zhou Yang has a weird expression.
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Yilin kept talking about all kinds of bad things about Chen Kai, or Feng Minrui and others when they were in power, and they all turned to their bad points, and even said: “Anke, Xiao Zhou’s current situation We are in a special period. Behind the seemingly beautiful scenery, it is actually very difficult. It is not easy for him to get to the present step by step. If possible, I hope to be his right-hand man… We are all for the Chinese film, we should not With personal feelings…” something like that.
After listening for a long time, An Xiao neither agreed nor refused, but hung up the phone after saying something to deal with.
The room suddenly became silent.
After a long time, An Xiao looked up at Zhou Yang again.
“Zhou Yang…”
“Um?”
“fine…”
“Oh.”
Zhou Yang nodded and wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say for a while.
“Zhou Yang…”
“Um?”
“Close your eyes.”
“what?”
“Close your eyes.”
“Oh.”
Click!
Zhou Yang only felt that his lips were numb for a while, which was an unprecedented feeling.
“I’m waiting for you.”
Then, he heard a soft voice.
