You made me a superstar

Chapter 140 Rejection?

Chinese filmmakers are full of hope for "The Crow"'s trip to Cannes. Many people think that this movie should shine in Cannes, and even many drafts have been written in advance, and they will wait for the awards there. There was a wave of reports on the sidelines, and there was a lot of enthusiasm...

After all, the theme of women’s abduction and trafficking is considered new in Cannes, and many people will come to see it, and "The Crow" is indeed well shot, with three points, and there is a Chinese director Huang Jiacheng as a member of the jury, which will more or less focus on some Chinese films. ...

However, when a series of news about the 59th Cannes International Film Festival came back to China, it shocked many people.

This kind of heart-warming is not only aimed at "The Crow", but also aimed at Chinese-language movies...

Four films were shortlisted, if it wasn't for an encouragement award, Chinese films would have almost been wiped out in Cannes.

This is undoubtedly a blow to the morale of Chinese-language films overseas.

What is even more shocking is that although "The Crow" has a very high reputation overseas, the copyright cannot be sold, so it is higher than that of "Warring States", barely reaching the passing line.

The rest of the films were even more bleak. "Life on a Bicycle" directed by Zhu Houqiang from Taiwan not only came to Cannes in vain, but the copyright pass line was not sold. "Black" from Hong Kong Island was so cheating that people wanted to cry. , Negotiated with various films for nearly half a month, and only sold a cheap copyright in Malaysia...

It's all over the street!

Shen Changwei, the director of "Hero", was ridiculed by Zhang Qian, a well-known celebrity on Weibo: "I want to get an award and think of being crazy. Isn't it good to be a commercial film director with peace of mind? I want to take the film to the film festival to embarrass myself." , it’s all right now, my face was slapped, I should give up this time..."

The sarcasm is so bare. It makes people uncomfortable to hear, but it cannot be refuted.

It is naturally impossible for a director of Shen Changwei's level to swear at others, but when he walked out of the Cannes venue, he was so depressed that he almost turned his face when he was interviewed by a group of reporters.

of course……

This trip to Cannes is not all depressing and humiliating.

Not long after Shen Changwei stepped out of Cannes, a piece of heavy news came from behind.

Zhou Yang has actually entered one of the world's top ten luxury goods Louis Vuitton's Asian spokesperson candidates!
The news shocked most of the entertainment companies in Huaxia, and many people took out their mobile phones in disbelief, asked for verification, and even called the official side of Louis Vuitton!
The reply from the official side is "we are in contact and negotiation, and have preliminary intentions."

After seeing this reply message, the Huaxia reporters went crazy instantly!
..............................

Zhou Yang was still like a wooden stake.

He sat on the sofa stupidly, listening to the French girl named Christine chatting with Song Yiyi about a series of terms.

He felt helpless.

He couldn't understand, and he couldn't understand what they were talking about. He only knew that Christine often looked back at him, and then smiled at him with satisfaction.

Zhou Yang also held a very satisfied smile very politely, and then continued to be like a wooden stake, eating fruit while looking at the light rain outside the window.

It is nine o'clock at night.

It was getting closer and closer to the time when Huang Jiacheng asked him to drink tea.

Zhou Yang realized that it is very important to learn a foreign language, and it is even more important to have a decent manager, otherwise he can only stare blankly in the face of these messy battles by himself. Know.

"Zhou Yang, Christine asked what do you like to eat on weekdays?"

"Huh? There's nothing I particularly like to eat..."

"Christine tells you to say something..."

"banana?"

"Christine asked, do you exercise or exercise on weekdays?"

"Yes, but rarely..."

"Do you like to sing?"

"like!"

"What kind of girl do you like?"

"Huh? This is not very clear."

"..."

A series of questions made Zhou Yang's head buzz.

He felt like he was being interviewed, but it also felt like he was checking the account.

At first, the question was quite normal, but then the unconstrained and unconstrained questions started to become messy. I even asked myself if I like pets, am I an environmental protection enthusiast, like planting trees or like flying kites...

Zhou Yang felt that he couldn't understand it.

Immediately afterwards, Christine made herself stand up again, walked around the coffee table, and then danced some messy dances like a big silly hat. Several young women in suits and leather shoes behind Christine sometimes Nodding, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes saying a few words in Christine's ear as if to offer some advice.

Christine nodded very satisfied...

"What Christine means is, can I let you take off your shirt..." Song Yiyi looked at Zhou Yang.

"Ah, this..." Zhou Yang looked at everyone with some embarrassment, especially when he saw Christine's big shining eyes, he was full of discomfort. will touch it.

"Take it off, there are no outsiders, this place is full of women..." Song Yiyi continued to translate what Christine said, but Song Yiyi felt an indescribable sour feeling in her heart.

"..."

For some reason, Zhou Yang also took off his upper body when filming "The Crow", but he didn't think it was a big deal, but in such an atmosphere full of girls, he always felt his face was a bit hot when he took off his shirt It was hot, and the feeling of embarrassment became stronger.

He thinks what these people think of him...

Ah!
Yes, like looking at any product!
"Okay." Zhou Yang finally took off his shirt under the eyes of everyone.

When Zhou Yang took it off, the women in the back row stood up instantly and exclaimed, and Christine was even more stunned!
They didn't seem to think that Zhou Yang couldn't be seen wearing clothes, only giving people the feeling of thinness, but after taking them off, the sharp muscles, coupled with the standard inverted triangle figure, especially the scars on Zhou Yang's body, gave them A raw sense of wildness!

This is to look thin when dressed, and to look fleshy when undressed!
One of the women chattered excitedly for a long time, and even came over, wanting to touch Zhou Yang!
Zhou Yang took a step back subconsciously!
Then put on clothes for the first time...

He felt uncomfortable being watched like this, a sense of sacrifice.

The girl giggled at Zhou Yang, but did not come any further, but continued to discuss with Christine.

"They are very satisfied with your figure, appearance, and appearance. The only thing they are dissatisfied with is that they think your skin is a little darker. They hope that you can use more skin care products, as well as the scars on your body. They hope that you will take care of your scars." In the next year, don't let yourself get hurt again, and follow their advice to do some scar removal surgery..." Song Yiyi continued to be an expressionless translator.

"Oh." Zhou Yang nodded.

"Although I think it's nonsense, but looking at this posture, if there is no accident, you may really win this endorsement..." Song Yiyi's head was full of incredible ideas, but the sourness in her voice became heavier, "Entertainment circle, look at your face Eating is really... not right, you don't look that handsome, do you? People like Xu Yanzu, Pang Yumin, etc. are much more attractive than you... Why did you fall in love with you?"

"..." Zhou Yang was at a loss.

Not to mention that Song Yiyi didn't understand why, he was even more confused.

The whole person is like a fool.

Afterwards, Christine walked towards Zhou Yang again, opened Zhou Yang's palm, and saw the calluses and marks on her arm, she frowned, as if she was quite dissatisfied, and murmured something, as if quite pity.

"What she means is that these hands are originally a pair of piano-playing hands, but they are used to work. It's a waste of money. That's probably what she means. She thinks this is a deduction for you..."

"..." Zhou Yang also frowned. He felt unreasonably uncomfortable being judged from beginning to end.

Moreover, when Christine took out the figure comparison chart and showed herself the figure they generally wanted, Zhou Yang was even more flustered.

He felt like a piece of plasticine molded to the will of others.

He was silent.

"This is what they asked you to..."

"First, they don't want you to take any more movies like "The Crow" and "Mine Bottom". You need to get their approval to take a movie, at least within five years of cooperation..."

"Second, they want you to arrange the clothes you wear, the way you walk, and what you say in any public place. At the same time, you must follow their arrangements for things like scar removal and skin care that you talked about before... ..."

"Third, they want you to leave Huaxing Entertainment, sign with their designated entertainment company, and follow all arrangements they instructed to maintain the brand image of Louis Vuitton..."

"fourth……"

As Zhou Yang listened, the more he listened, the more unpleasant he felt.

After Song Yiyi finished reading, Zhou Yang silently glanced at Christine, and after hesitating for a long time, finally showed a smile.

"Sorry... I don't think I'm suitable for Louis Vuitton's contract. I'm sorry to cause you trouble. I still have an appointment, so I have to go first..."

outside the window.

The drizzle turned into a torrential downpour.

Inside the house, there was silence, only the medieval antique clock ticking on the wall.

Song Yiyi looked at Zhou Yang as if she had seen a ghost, and didn't know how to translate this sentence for a while.

But Christine and the others looked blankly at Zhou Yang nodding at them, turning around as if about to leave...

They don't know what's going on.

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

"Zhou Yang, you are crazy, Louis Vuitton, this is a big deal, even an international superstar can't get an endorsement, you..."

"The treaty makes me uncomfortable..."

"Where does it hurt?"

"I feel constrained by rules and regulations, which is very uncomfortable. If I have to listen to other people's arrangements for what movie, what to do, or even what entertainment company to go to, am I not like a marionette?"

"Isn't the entertainment industry like this? Moreover, the entertainment company can be discussed. They don't mean to sign the entertainment company, and it's in Huaxing. You don't even have a manager. Such a small entertainment company The company, they don't trust you at all, so let's do it! You can just sign with Brother Entertainment behind me, and let the company pay the liquidated damages for Huaxing, is that okay?"

"I won't sign."

"Zhou Yang, do you know what you'll miss if you really refuse? This isn't an order of hundreds of thousands, millions, possibly tens of millions..."

"If freedom is to be exchanged for so much money, I would rather not have so much money...Mr. Song, thank you for always translating for me. I owe you a favor."

"You owe me more than these, Zhou Yang, can we stop getting sick?"

"This is my bottom line. I have been unhappy and depressed before, and I don't want to be like a puppet, always unhappy..."

"..."

Outside the hotel.

The rain was pattering.

Zhou Yang came out of the room with his head down, feeling very complicated, and then walked slowly towards Huang Jiacheng according to the house number.

Song Yiyi looked at Zhou Yang's stubborn ass, annoyed and helpless.

She felt that this guy had entered a dead end and couldn't get out, and it was so twisted that it was painful.

When she came to her room, she saw Zhou Yang stop.

"Zhou Yang, I think you should think about it carefully."

"Well, I know, Mr. Song, you should go to bed early."

"Aren't you going to come in and sit down?"

"No, director Huang has something to do with me, I might be late..."

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

in the room.

Christian smoked a cigar.

Having just won the Palme d'Or for "April on Earth", he was not immersed in the excitement of the honor, but watched the script silently.

Huang Jiacheng was sitting beside him, looking at the time on the watch from time to time, with a somewhat unsightly expression on his face.

Zhou Yang was late.

And this time was half an hour late, it was really speechless to wait.

However, Christian didn't seem anxious. After reading the script, he put down his cigar and gently poured himself a glass of red wine.

"Good actors are always slow. Although the role of cannibal doctor is a supporting role, it is too important in this movie. I have been preparing for this movie for five years. After waiting for five years, I have not been able to find a suitable candidate. I am used to it……"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Xiao Zhou, you have a bad sense of time... Hurry up and come in..."

"Sorry, I was delayed because of something just now."

"what's up?"

"People from Louis Vuitton are looking for me..."

"You are really invited..." Huang Jiacheng was shocked.

"Ah."

"Have you negotiated?"

"I declined, the Louis Vuitton contract was not for me."

"What did you say? You said it again, and you refused?"

"Um……"

"..."

When Huang Jiacheng saw Zhou Yang nodding seriously, he immediately took a deep breath.

Just at this time……

"Good rejection!" Not far away, Christian, who knew a little Chinese, came over in surprise, and his calm eyes seemed to realize something, and suddenly became hot!
