You made me a superstar

Chapter 213 I'm Unworthy?
Ten days ago, "Chain Saw" was a little-known movie made at a low cost, and it was impossible for any distribution company to watch it more.

but!

It suddenly appeared, and its popularity swept across the United States like a giant beast. Words such as "imprisonment", "real shot", "cruel" and "despair" full of controversy and excitement blasted Laomei's network, even if you wanted to suppress it go down.

In Lao Mei's browser, the words ""Chain Saw" leaked resources" occupied the No. Enter the four words "Chain Saw" and search for leaked clips on the Internet.

In the few leaked clips, every detail sends chills down the spine, but they can't stop, giving people a sense of unfinished business.

Everyone's understanding of movies is different.

Some people think that movies are works of art, which can express their deep dissatisfaction with the status quo of this society, vent their desire to resist and at the same time receive bursts of applause.

Others see movies as a well-packaged commodity.

The film production unit is the production line of the product, the major distribution companies are the investor and intermediate purchaser of the product, and the major theater chains are the showcase of the product.

So……

How is the commercial value of a commodity measured?
First, the popularity of the product, second, the degree of demand for the product in the hearts of customers, and third, the ratio of input to output for the product.

It is clear.

"Chain Saw" not only has all three points, but even has the potential to become a hit.

The eight major Hollywood film companies are naturally not fools, how could they give up this piece of fat?

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

Zhao Sicheng sat on a chair and watched the breaking news about "Saw".

Excitement, excitement, and joyful emotions disappeared without a trace at this moment.

His gaze went from dull, to confused, and finally slowly turned into anger from embarrassment.

He clenched his fists, gasped heavily, and stared viciously at all the negative news about "Saw".

The uncanny tone in Tom's voice when he spoke to him lingered in his mind.

The people behind Zhou Yang hyped "Chain Saw" in such an unexpected way, and he was so stupid that he really thought that Zhou Yang had been hit by a thunder in Laomei, and it would be difficult to turn over!
Irony, how ironic!
He felt that he was slapped severely, his face was hot, even, he felt like a joke at this moment!
He was humiliated, like a complete clown.

Zhao Sicheng took a deep breath and suppressed the extreme anger.

Then, as if thinking of something, he immediately picked up the phone.

"Xiao Su, hurry up and contact the Fox reporter, tell her not to send out the previous interview, and invite her for an interview time, I hope to do the interview again."

"it is good!"

After Zhao Sicheng hung up the phone, his expression became serious.

If Zhou Yang hit a thunderbolt in Laomei and was boycotted, it is normal for him to show disdain and contempt for Zhou Yang in the interview.

But if Zhou Yang's film is not boycotted, but is sought after in Lao Mei Fan, and all this is a "big propaganda pit" dug by Zhou Yang and the team behind it, if it can be cleaned up at any time, then his Zhao Sicheng will be like a clown, and even if it spreads to Huaxia, he will be given a hat to suppress the younger generation!

Zhao Sicheng narrowed his eyes, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.

About a few minutes later, his phone rang, and he answered it immediately.

"Director Zhao, the reporters at Fox think this kind of hype is good, it will make "Fatal Crisis" more popular, and they won't drop the report!"

"What!" Zhao Sicheng was taken aback.

"At the same time, they will push "Fatal Crisis" to the opposite of "Chain Saw" in a more extreme way on the phone, and may hype the personal conflicts between the two Chinese directors, making "Fatal Crisis" officially reach the peak. Increase the exposure during the premiere..."

"How will they play up the conflict between me and Zhou Yang?" Zhao Sicheng was silent for a while, and asked this question again.

"I don't know, but the content of today's interview, including your remarks that Zhou Yang is not a director of the Huaxia system, and topics such as not being enough for young directors, will be hyped up..." On the other side of the phone, assistant Xiao Su replied.

"They can't do this!" When Zhao Sicheng heard this sentence, his face changed drastically as if thinking of something!
Zhao Sicheng was still negotiating here, but the phone rang again.

He answered the phone immediately.

"What? The schedule of "Fatal Crisis" will be postponed until February? How can this be possible!"

When he heard the content of the phone call, his eyes widened.

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

Zhou Yang is actually very concerned about "Chain Saw".

He once thought about what he would do when Lao Mei had no publishers to ask for "Chain Saw", and he even thought about what he would do if it couldn't be released...

Before shooting, he made a detailed plan, and even thought about taking the film himself to the major distribution companies to knock on the door and let them watch the film.

I even thought about what difficulties I would encounter when shooting, and how to ask others for help.

however……

The shooting was extremely smooth, so smooth that Zhou Yang didn't have much sense of participation at all.

He worked hard to put the director's plan on top, but he could only watch from the sidelines. The old Christian not only sat in his seat, but also played better and better, and even held the microphone as soon as he arrived in the shooting room.

"Let me play again..."

"Mr. Zhou Yang, I'm good at this detail shooting, I will control the progress of the shooting..."

"Mr. Zhou Yang, your shooting methods are still relatively raw. You don't have any feeling at all. Filming is all about feeling. Okay, let me do it..."

"I think a reshoot is needed, it did reach your feeling, but not mine!"

"..."

In the shooting room, Christian said these words the most.

And Zhou Yang sat on the side, unable to intervene at all, and could only watch this guy staring at the monitor with fiery eyes, like a creator who controlled the overall situation, controlling the emotions of the characters in the movie and the actors outside the movie, Had a great time!

After finally grabbing the directing position from Christian, he found that the whole movie was almost shot.

It was a feeling of being at a loss, as if he clenched his fist and hit the cotton with a hard punch. The difficulties he imagined did not appear at all. Even Zhou Yang once felt that he only shot a quarter of "Saw" one less than...

Not only was the filming process more inexplicable than he imagined, but even after the filming was over, he was even more speechless!

The original filming date for "The Lamb" was early December.

but……

Until December [-]th, Christian not only did not shoot "Lamb", but took him every day to pay fines in various institutions.

Moreover, the momentum was very loud. Every time the fine was paid, a large group of reporters would rush over...

Zhou Yang was a little silly under those spotlights!

In front of reporters, he just needs to keep silent or shake his head to tell the truth and say that all this is hype.

Other things?

The other thing is to eat and drink well, and then struggle with how to choose a distribution company.

Yes!

The once worrying about how to find a distribution company for "Chain Saw" has now become entangled with which distribution company to sell it to.

Every day, Hollywood distribution companies come to talk to me about the distribution of "Chain Saw", and even some theater staff contact me in private...

Zhou Yang scratched his head in a daze in a daze...

He feels more like a fringe character in Saw.

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

December [-]th.

Charlotte Sally led Zhou Yang into the gate of Fox.

The director of Fox Film Distribution and Copyright Department, Jipps is a good friend of Charlotte Sally.

With a beer belly, Gips shook hands with Zhou Yang very enthusiastically when he saw Zhou Yang, and then chatted with Charlotte Sally about the past.

While chatting, we talked about the distribution rights of the "Chain Saw" movie.

Jipps began to talk to Zhou Yang about the advantages of their Fox movies and the arrangement for the January schedule.

Zhou Yang was quite confused...

Zhou Yang couldn't understand what Gibbs said about the business index, but from the look in Charlotte Sally's eyes, he felt that the conditions offered by Gibbs were more ideal.

Zhou Yang trusted Charlotte Sally very much, and at the same time, he was very grateful to this grandma-level figure who had amazed her time.

If it wasn't for Charlotte Sally's help, the copyright of "Mine Bottom" wouldn't have sold so well.

So he nodded and prepared to sign the distribution rights to Fox.

Just when he picked up the pen, he heard a knock on the door...

Afterwards, he saw a tall, beautiful young man walking over with a figure familiar to Zhou Yang.

The familiar figure seemed to be very shocked when he saw Zhou Yang, and then his face became a little gloomy, and his expression became a little smirk.

He nodded to Zhou Yang, then looked elsewhere.

"Mr. Gibbs, you want to postpone the release of "Fatal Crisis" until February?"

"Yes, what's the matter, Tom?"

"I object. We have prepared all the promotional projects and postponed them until February. This...the blockbuster "Iron Wolf" will be released in February, and "Fatal Crisis" has no chance of winning against such a blockbuster..." Tom watched with jeeps.

"Then you mean..."

"It can't be postponed, it will be released in January..."

"I'm considering Saw in January," Gips replied, looking at Tom.

"Why can't it be released at the same time? I've already agreed..." Tom looked aggrieved.

"Personally, I think it's better to stagger." Gips shook his head.

"Mr. Gibbs, do you have no confidence in my "Fatal Crisis"? Do you think that I have made a movie for more than a year, and the box office is not as good as this movie that was only shot for half a month? I admit that this movie is very popular. Big, but the heat generated by the hype has no quality at all, and the movie depends on the quality..." No matter whether Zhou Yang was present or not, Zhao Sicheng stared at Jipps.

"Mr. Gibbs, otherwise, we'll be fine in February." Zhou Yang felt the smell of gunpowder, and immediately chose to avoid it.After all, they are all Chinese, and he instinctively does not want foreigners to see their Chinese clashing.

"Zhou Yang, what do you mean?" Zhao Sicheng stared at Zhou Yang suddenly: "Do you think you are giving me alms? Or do you think I am not worthy to be with you?"

"..."

When Zhou Yang heard this sentence, he was suddenly speechless.

What the hell is going on with this guy, why is it like eating gunpowder?
