You made me a superstar

Chapter 123

90.00% of the investment in the movie "The Crow" was paid by Wang Shuai himself, and the other [-]% was piecemeal investment from other places.

There are many advantages to having the director himself make up the bulk of the film's investment.

That is, there are no investors to force people, no script changes, and no messy and troublesome agreements to specify a shooting date.

In a word, Wang Shuai can control the overall situation and shoot the movies he wants.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, if the market does not accept it, and the film festival loses all its money, you have to bear all the risks yourself.

Art films!
Everyone has a few impressions of this type of movie.

The concept is very lofty, the content is very heavy, and it is a frequent visitor to major film festivals. The mainland box office hits the street, and the overseas copyright depends entirely on luck.

There are too many uncertainties.

The story of "The Crow" is too thick, so heavy that it makes people feel depressing. Wang Shuai himself feels that no one will actually go to the theater to watch this movie, let alone the second and third times...

Everyone is not looking for abuse!
During the filming break, Wang Shuai was preparing for the Cannes Film Festival. After returning to Yanjing on the third day after filming, Wang Shuai hurriedly took "The Crow" to Cannes, France to try his luck.

This collision lasted for ten days.

In the past ten days, the copyright has been sold so-so, with no profit but no loss. He waited for the Cannes jury to announce the news of the shortlisted films, so that he could prepare for the Cannes premiere in advance.

Cannes premiere?

Correct!
Ren didn't even plan to have a simultaneous premiere in China.

June!
What the hell, what kind of opponents are they?

The famous French spy series "Bond Quantum Burst", the Hollywood superhero movie "Superman", the British magic movie "Fairy Witch"...

Although the domestic film protection month is over, the authorities have secretly helped the strongest opponents of "Hero" to move back in order to create a posture that Chinese films are on the rise.

Moving and moving, they moved to June together.

"Hero" is indeed a godsend.

It has created a new era of Chinese movies, and brought all Chinese filmmakers to a collective climax. Many filmmakers even feel that the era of martial arts blockbusters belonging to Chinese movies has begun!

but……

Glory is their business.

Are domestic films still playing tricks in June?
Who dares to suffer from domestic movies when all imported blockbusters?
Whoever comes and who dies belong.

"The Crow" itself is a niche literary film. If you use it to compete with these blockbuster films, isn't it because the old birthday star eats arsenic and doesn't want to live?

Not to mention how many screens you can line up under the pressure of these blockbuster films, but to say that you have actually lined up a lot of films. Can you be sure that if you just lined up today, you won’t be drawn down tomorrow because of the bad box office?

The Huaxia film department is also very tangled.

Behind the brilliance of "Hero", there is inevitably a sense of sadness that belongs to domestic movies.

In June, when no Chinese movie is willing to be scheduled, the directors ran away one after another.

From the perspective of the director and the producer, it is also understandable, after all, no one wants to court death!

But from the perspective of the Chinese film authorities, this is so wrong!
All overseas blockbusters,

No matter how you look at it, there is a feeling that the Chinese film circle has become an overseas film colony.

This will not work!

In the history of Chinese films, there has never been a month of pure overseas films.

How about a Chinese movie to support the scene?

Looking left and right, looking up and down, "The Crow" looks like a bad luck no matter how you look at it.

He talked to the producer of "The Crow" with "The Crow" twice in three days to talk about the release of "The Crow". At first, Wang Shuai was quite annoyed.

But when he inadvertently checked the latest entertainment news, he suddenly realized that "The Crow" might not hit the street.

I haven't paid attention to Huaxia for ten days!

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yang's popularity in China's entertainment industry became crazy.

.....................

The sales volume of the album "Girl Waving Wings" exceeded 25, breaking the physical sales record. Is the physical album really in decline, or is there a lack of good songs? "

"Single "Encounter", the CRBT download list topped China's No. [-], Jiang Shushu talked about "Encounter", saying that meeting Zhou Yang was the greatest luck in his life"

In just a few months, these two songs swept the whole of China at an incredible speed...

On the streets and alleys, in major audio-visual stores and shopping malls, "Meet" and "Girl with Wings" are played on a loop every day.

MP3, MP4, and repeaters among young people are filled with the melody of these two songs. Wearing headphones, sneakers and ripped jeans, walking quietly through the crowd with hands in pockets, there is a kind of Incomprehensible tide...

A box of pirated tapes of "Girl Waving Wings" for five yuan became a bestseller in the audio-visual store.

If you add a special extended version of "Encounter" and a poster of Jiang Shushu singing with a microphone, then this tape will be more valuable than the genuine one.

In school, during the busy night study breaks, many teachers who are very disgusted with pop music turned on the computers in the class and played this song over and over again.

Hearing this song, many girls in the class will look up at the figure of Jiang Shushu desperately climbing up in the MV. They feel that this song is full of power, supporting them to bravely face the difficult nights. For the next high school entrance examination, college entrance examination...

Jiang Shushu was so hot that she couldn't believe it.

25 million!

This astonishing statistic made Jiang Shushu feel like she was dreaming.

wrong!

She dared not do it in her dreams.

Looking at the countless announcements and arrangements every day, Jiang Shushu felt that her life was extremely unreal, especially when thousands of fans shouted and shouted outside the major programs, and countless media chased and blocked her. She seems to have returned to the year when the H56 group was the most popular!
"Cai Lin officially apologized publicly to Zhou Yang, saying that she did learn from it, and hoped to get Zhou Yang's forgiveness, and was willing to compensate half of the song's proceeds for Zhou Yangfang"

So far, Zhou Yang has not responded to the plagiarism incident, nor has he forgiven Cai Lin.

"Girl Waving Wings" made Jiang Shushu popular, and made the word Zhou Yang go crazy in the music circle, especially after Cai Lin's plagiarism incident was exposed, countless media pushed this matter to a wave among unprecedented heights.

Almost all the reporters involved in reporting this matter felt that the heat of this matter could continue to ferment, and I am afraid that it will cause even bigger waves!

The reporters sharpened their knives and stared at Zhou Yang all day long, waiting for the explosive news to come again.

why?
Because Cai Lin's side softened Zhou Yang and apologized in front of the reporter, but Zhou Yang's side didn't make any response.

What does this mean?
It shows that Zhou Yang, a fledgling guy who made a big fuss, the people behind him are very likely to kill Cai Lin, the little music queen who was once placed on high hopes!

Many reporters have even made some more eye-catching predictions about this plagiarism incident in their own media, just waiting for the next wave of music earthquakes to come!

"Yes! The martial arts movie "The Grand Master" is co-produced by Hong Kong Island and mainland China, and the movie's theme song has already been set!"

"This is one of the best film and television songs I have ever heard since I directed the film... But I can't announce this song now. I can only say that with this song, China's martial arts movies will start a new era. chapter!"

"..."

Just when all the media, all netizens and filmmakers are all staring at the plagiarism incident...

The earthquake did come!

However, it was not an earthquake caused by the fermentation of the plagiarism incident, but a major earthquake occurred in the film and music circles at the same time.

Huang Jiacheng announced in front of everyone that Zhou Yang's new song "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" is the movie song of the movie "The Grand Master"!

Many musicians and the media were a little confused after seeing this news!

Some indescribable sense of fragmentation.

In their impression, Zhou Yang should be writing small and fresh songs!

but……

Why did you suddenly go to write martial arts songs?

Moreover, the director of Hong Kong Island, Huang Jiacheng, who has always been particularly picky about various aspects, was able to say such an amazing compliment, telling a new chapter of martial arts movies!

What kind of music is this song "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant"?
The major media swarmed with hype.

however!
Huang Jiacheng's tantalizing level is indeed unrivaled. He only mentioned his name, but he didn't reveal anything other than his name. He only said that after the film is finished and released, you will understand!
This made everyone's heart itch.

What makes everyone's heart itchy is still behind...

Wang Shuai, who came back from Cannes, laughed from ear to ear when he saw that Zhou Yang was more popular.

Then, he immediately held a movie preview conference, and immediately publicized the release date of the movie "The Crow".

At the press conference.

In front of countless reporters, Wang Shuai solemnly took out a stack of psychological diagnosis reports.

"a movie……"

"Two months!"

"Everyone is in a good mood when they are filming..."

"But after seeing Xiao Zhou and Ms. Song Yiyi's amazing acting skills, every time we shoot a segment, we feel depressed..."

"I'm depressed, the assistant director Feng Kai is depressed, and the assistant director and my partner Bi Funan is also depressed, as well as the cameraman, the scene manager, the drama manager..." When Wang Shuai looked very serious, he seemed to be gnashing his teeth, "Everyone, As you can see, everyone has attended the movie trailer today... Only Mr. Zhou Yangzhou's seat is vacant..."

"It's not because Xiao Zhou is busy, nor is it because Xiao Zhou refuses to attend the teaser meeting, but because I'm afraid he's not safe!"

"Why not safe? Good question!"

"I can't describe how we spent those two months. We only know that during the filming of this movie, many staff members had very strong negative emotions. We wanted to tear Zhou Yang to pieces on the spot... even Even now, I want to slap Xiao Zhou twice!"

"So, if he comes, I'm afraid I can't help but throw this microphone on Xiao Zhou's forehead in front of you..."

"..."

When the reporters heard this scene...

Everyone's eyes widened!

They were so excited.

I grass!

What the hell did Zhou Yang shoot that was so outrageous?
