You made me a superstar

Chapter 135 Director Zhou, I Invest in You!
Filming "The Crow" was actually not a very happy thing.

After the filming of "The Crow" was finished, the movie was released and caused a huge sensation. The box office even beat Hollywood movies for several days, but Zhou Yang didn't feel excited.

It was a kind of sadness based on reality, and he just played a role well, that's all.

His mood has been quite depressed these days.

Especially after seeing Zhang Jinquan and his wife struggling to stay in front of the major media, and seeing the reunion of relatives, but without their daughter, this kind of sadness affected Zhou Yang even more.

Zhou Yang decided to make fewer films like this in the future.

In this kind of heavy movie, the more you interpret the characters to the fullest, the more you will have an indescribable feeling.

The arrival of Zhang Genshui released Zhou Yang's suppressed emotions for a short while, but then, somehow, he was taken away.

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

6 month 16 day.

Dim lights on the balcony, mosquitos flying around.

"I...we still broke up!"

"I can pay a lot for her. Although my mine has been seized, I still have money, a lot of money, and I still have a house, a building in Yanjing Center, five buildings in Hangzhou City, and five shops... ..."

"In this life, as long as you follow me, I will let her have no worries about food and clothing. I can buy her anything she wants..."

"But why, why did you break up with me, why?"

"I divorced the one at home because of her..."

"Is the entertainment industry really that good?"

"Without me, what will she do..."

"..."

Zhou Yang cooked several dishes and placed them in front of Zhang Genshui.

While drinking Moutai in a goblet, Zhang Genshui babbled a lot out of control.

As I was talking, I lost control of my emotions. I picked up a napkin and wiped it off, but I couldn't tell whether it was snot or tears.

In the end, Zhang Genshui even complained, and there was a lot of hatred in his words, but this hatred turned into waves of lamentation.

Zhou Yang was listening, but for a moment he didn't know how to comfort this nouveau riche who had been kind to him.

The reality is very cruel!
After the "Mine Bottom" incident, many wronged souls have been prosecuted, but the country has also promulgated very clear mining regulations.

Many private mines that did not comply with the regulations and requirements were cracked down, and Zhang Genshui's industry was also completely shut down in this crackdown, and no more mining was allowed.

Having stayed in the coal mine for most of his life, when he was suddenly informed of the bad news, he fell into an unprecedented confusion. Coupled with Xu Li's sudden departure, Zhang Genshui's emotions were hit hard.

He felt that in this world, he seemed to have nothing but money.

You mean ex-wife?

The ex-wife had already remarried with his compensation money, and all her children took the ex-wife's surname. If she went back now, she might be beaten out with a broom.

The story of the upstart and the mistress finally ended with such an endlessly embarrassing ending.

At this moment, Zhang Genshui is like a fat man who is so poor that he has only money left, facing the future at a loss.

"Condolences."

Zhou Yang finally suppressed these words from his mouth.

But then I felt that this sentence was particularly inappropriate. There was no death in the family, but the girlfriend ran away with someone. My condolences.

"The fortune teller at the mine is gone. People said he was talking nonsense. He was forcibly sent to a mental hospital by his family. Now no one recognizes him... When I went to ask him again, he would say that I am Fu Xinggao Photo, and later said I was a disaster of blood and light... I felt like I had a dream, and then woke up, lying on the bed like a fool." Zhang Genshui drank another bottle of wine, and his throat was so hot that he drank it. He tore off his clothes, revealing his chubby beer belly, and smiled self-deprecatingly as if he had suddenly come to his senses.

"..." Zhou Yang listened silently.

After searching all over my body, I felt that I could only find the word "Jie mourning", but nothing else.

"Director Zhou! Xiaoli signed with an entertainment company called Xinghui. I heard that she was favored by the director and invited her to be the third female lead in the movie... Tell me, I will be the investor of this movie, can you?" Make her change her mind?"

"Brother Zhang, as long as you are happy."

"I'm not happy. This is so fucking cheap. Is the entertainment industry really that good? I thought she only wanted to have a movie addiction, but I never thought that she wanted to be a star. She thought I The class is too low, uneducated, ugly and lowly, not worthy of her..." Zhang Genshui patted the table hard, not knowing whether it was anger or sadness, his whole face was livid, and his whole body was shaking.

After venting his emotions, he slumped on the ground, staring at the chandelier above the ceiling, in a daze for a long time.

"Brother Zhang, sleep here and you'll be fine tomorrow." Looking at Zhang Genshui's appearance, Zhou Yang shook his head.

"Director Zhou, tell me, is the entertainment industry really that good? Is it really that good to be a star?"

"..." Zhou Yang was silent.

This thing, he felt that no matter how he answered it, he was wrong.

He actually has no interest in this circle, and he does not position himself as a star.

"Director Zhou! I'll invest 1000 million in you. Can you help me make a movie? If it's not enough, I'll give you a little more. At worst, I'll sell a few houses... You help me make a movie, you help me Fight with that big director, help me win him! I want her to know, I want her to recognize reality, only by following me can she become a big star..." Zhang Genshui suddenly grabbed Zhou Yang's hand like crazy, The eyes were very excited, and it hurt to grab Zhou Yang's arm.

"Brother Zhang, you are drunk, that, Brother Bodyguard, help Brother Zhang..."

"I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk! I want Xiaoli to know that she can enjoy happiness only if she follows me, and she can only..."

"..."

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

Huaxing has signed a group of newcomers.

The original cast members of "Mine Bottom" and "The Crow", Zhao Zhen, Chen Shuangbao, Liu Tingting and others were signed into the company one by one.

Xu Li was also in the process of signing the contract, but for some reason, she didn't sign the contract for a long time. It was only later that An Xiao found out that Xu Li had chosen Xinghui.

An Xiao didn't care much after learning the news, everyone has their own right to choose, and she has no right to interfere with others...

In fact, the difference between Huaxing and Xinghui is really too far. Although Zhou Yang has risen strongly and that "The Crow" is a big hit, after all, the movie "The Crow" is owned by Brother Entertainment, and Zhou Yang's box office commission is completely out of it. The personal account has nothing to do with the company. The only money earned from "Mine Bottom" is after it is distributed with the theaters, and then with Zhang Gen. After tax deduction, the real income is very limited...

Although Jiang Shushu's album made a lot of money, it still couldn't fill the investment hole of "Warring States".

As for which of the two companies Huaxing and Xinghui has a future, anyone with a discerning eye knows how to choose.

6 month 17 day.

An Xiao, who was making plans, heard a knock on the door.

Then...

After opening the door, she saw Zhou Yilin, the director of "Warring States", walking in with the script.

"Boss An..."

"Director Zhou." After seeing Zhou Yilin, An Xiao put down what she was doing and looked at Zhou Yilin silently.

""Warring States" made you lose some money, I'm sorry..." Zhou Yilin looked at An Xiao with a smile on his face as usual, ""Warring States" is a movie I deliberately pursued to be artistic and divorced from fans Habit, I made the same mistake as director Chen Kai, afterward I reflected on it for a long time, and felt that if I directed "Warring States" again, it would be a little better..."

"Director Zhou, when everyone makes mistakes, don't take it to heart...it's all over..." An Xiao shook her head lightly, revealing a charming smile.

"This time, I came with a new script. This is an ancient palace script movie, full of love and hatred, and my understanding of conspiracy..." Zhou Yilin laughed and took out a thick stack of The script was then placed on An Xiao's desk.

After An Xiao glanced at the title of the script "Full City of Golden Armor", she was stunned for a while.

"Director Zhou, don't you plan to take a break? Filming "Warring States" consumed a lot of your energy, right?"

"Haha, I'm not tired. I'm in my prime now. The movie "Hero" showed me another possibility of Chinese costume movies. After I accidentally saw this movie, I was very excited. I have seen a lot of scripts, but it is really rare to see a script that can excite me all night like this script. I want to prepare "Hero" starring Liang Jinlong, Donnie Yen, and Zhang Shaolei to star in this movie..." Zhou Yilin Smiling brightly, he told An Xiao about his plans for the new movie, and it was obvious that his tone revealed excitement.

"Will the investment of these actors join..." An Xiao frowned when she heard the names of these Chinese superstars.

"I plan to invest 1.3 million yuan in this movie, and really make a blockbuster movie comparable to "Hero"..."

"..." An Xiao frowned even more after hearing 1.3 million.

"Mr. An, of course the company will not let the company pay for these investments. I have already talked with Xinghui. Xinghui will give 6000 million. I expect other investors to get 4000 million. You can take another 3000 million." Alright." Zhou Yilin looked at An Xiao and said the data with a smile.

"I'm afraid the company won't be able to spend so much money." After An Xiao heard the figure of 3000 million, her heart was shocked.

"I've considered the reasons for this, and now we can work together on the "Mancheng Jinjia" project, how about this, Mr. An, the company account will pay 1000 million, and then I will make a bet agreement with the investor for the remaining 2000 million. ..." Zhou Yilin looked at An Xiao.

"Director Zhou, this is not a small amount after all. How about I ask Director Guan Tong and Director Zhou Yang to come over and read the script together, and then decide whether we can make this dish? What do you think? After all, the company's Funds are tight." An Xiao didn't agree or refuse, but just said this sentence.

"Well, yes, you really need to be more cautious..." Zhou Yilin's smile froze for a while, and then he laughed again.

After about half an hour...

Guan Tong and Zhou Yang walked in together.

When Zhou Yang looked at the name of "Curse of the Golden Armor", he was stunned, thinking that it was similar to the name of "Curse of the Golden Armor" in the original world.

Then...

After he opened the script and read it for a while, it seemed as if thousands of muddy horses flashed across his heart, and his whole body was shocked.

Although the characters are different in all aspects, and the plot is slightly wrong, the story goes the same way, just like the low-profile version of "The Golden Armor in the City"!
"Director Zhou, what do you think?" Zhou Yilin looked at Zhou Yang and smiled.

"Director Zhou, that... our script, can we change it a little bit?" Zhou Yang was silent for a long time, then suddenly said this sentence.

"How to change? Would you like to give me some advice?" Zhou Yilin, who was originally smiling, suddenly froze again, his eyes flashed an imperceptible unhappiness, and then returned to normal.

"That's right, I... don't know how to change it..." Zhou Yang held back for a while, but in the end he couldn't even fart.

"Director Zhou, have you finished the script? I think you just glanced at it briefly." Zhou Yilin narrowed his eyes, although he was smiling, he stopped looking at Zhou Yang.

"..." Zhou Yang was silent.

He really only read the outline of the script, and then flipped through the outline of the script, that's all.

the other side……

Guan Tong repeatedly read the script for a long time.

"I can't understand the script..." She finally said bluntly, "However, the film made by Director Zhou should not be a big problem, but the investment is a bit large. The investment of 1.2 million requires a terrifying box office like "Hero" to pay back. Ben?"

"This movie is going to surpass "Hero"." Zhou Yilin looked at Guan Tong, still smiling: "The movie "Time Machine" has occupied the top spot in the Chinese movie circle for too long, it's time to move ..."

He made no secret of his ambition.

At this moment, Zhou Yang's cell phone rang.

"Well, I'm going to answer the phone, you guys continue to talk? I actually don't know much about movies, Director Zhou, Mr. An, Director Guan, you don't have to take what I just said to heart..."

An Xiao and Guan Tong nodded to Zhou Yang.

And Zhou Yilin ignored Zhou Yang from the beginning to the end.

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

"Huh? The passport has already been issued."

"Cannes International Film Festival? In three days?"

"Okay, I know."

It was Wang Shuai who called, and Wang Shuai informed Zhou Yang that the Cannes International Film Festival Gala was about to start.

"The Raven" was shortlisted for Cannes.

And it has been shortlisted for two units, one is the main competition unit, and the other is a kind of attention unit award.

In the main competition unit, Zhou Yang had a personal nomination for the best actor award, and Wang Shuai naturally asked him to follow his luck.

Just after Zhou Yang answered the phone, the door of An Xiao's office opened.

Zhou Yilin followed Guan Tong out of the office with a smile on his face.

They were talking and laughing, and when they passed by Zhou Yang, he didn't even look at Zhou Yang, whether it was on purpose or because he didn't see it.

Then An Xiao came out.

She looked at the backs of the two leaving and sighed lightly.

"Boss An, what's the matter?"

"Director Zhou is probably leaving the company to go to Xinghui."

"what?"
