You made me a superstar

Chapter 246 Zhou Yang's "Gift" to Zhao Sicheng

Zheng Jun once thought that the most important thing for a movie is investment.

As long as the investment is in place, nothing else is a problem.

but……

When he really got the investment and was ready to shoot, he realized that he was wrong.

The movie "Struggle" is a one-person movie.

From the first shot to the last, there is only one character throughout.

Therefore, the protagonist must have strong enough acting skills to perfectly reflect the protagonist's extremely intense and exciting emotional experience through the big screen. Firmly restrain the nerves of the audience, pressing down on the hearts of the audience like a big rock, making them breathless.

This is undoubtedly a huge test for casting.

At the same time, the difficulty of shooting this film is also very high.

As the director himself, he needs to skillfully use the language of the lens to present a hopeless and narrow space under dim light. The lens cannot be shifted, and the audience must not have a single aesthetic or even a sense of visual fatigue.

These days, he has rummaged through various books at home and abroad, and searched for countless filming cases, even those banned underground films...

He longed to find at least one similar movie.

pity……

No one in the Chinese film industry has made such a movie.

No one in the international film industry has ever filmed it. There was a similar dialogue film with three actors, but it was poorly filmed. Zheng Jun fell asleep after watching it twice.

There must be no market for such a movie, and what's the point of making a movie without a market?
Compared with the problem of shooting skills, the casting is even more desperate for Zheng Jun.

The walls of the dormitory are covered with photos of various actors and their masterpieces.

He stared at the wall, stared at these actors day and night, substituting them into the plot of "Struggle" in different ways.

Then, unfortunately...

None!

February 26.

"Mr. Zhou, I...seem like I can't make this movie..." Zheng Jun knocked on Zhou Yang's office with a haggard face.

After entering the office, he lowered his head and said this sentence in great pain.

After saying this, he felt a sense of despair.

For the first time in his life, he questioned his shooting ability, and felt that he had overestimated his shooting talent.

"What's wrong? Sit down first, don't stand..."

"it is good."

Zheng Jun sat down, the hand holding the script of "Struggle" was trembling constantly.

He was disheartened and told all the difficulties he encountered.

After finishing speaking, there was a dead silence in the office.

Zheng Jun heard his own heartbeat, Zheng Jun was so nervous that he couldn't breathe...

He didn't look up.

The more you care about something, the more you are afraid of losing it, and the more afraid that it will be destroyed by yourself and become a joke.

The invisible pressure was like a boulder pressing on his heart.

"Ever been to the Oscars?"

Zhou Yang looked at Zheng Jun with his head down, and didn't answer anything else. After a long silence, he suddenly asked such a question.

"what?"

Zheng Jun raised his head and looked at Zhou Yang with a dazed look in his eyes.

He saw Zhou Yang holding the invitation letter of the Oscars with a smile and gently touching it: "At the Oscars, there will be many famous actors and actresses. At that time, you can go to the scene and pick slowly, slowly select……"

Zheng Jun stared blankly at Zhou Yang.

He opened his mouth, his mind was blank at first, and then he kept repeating Zhou Yang's words.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Then, his eyes widened in disbelief: "President Zhou, this, this...you mean, I, I can go to the Oscars?"

"Pack up your things, I just need an assistant..."

"Okay!" Zheng Jun nodded excitedly.

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

The plane flies through the clouds.

Zheng Jun held the script of "Struggle" and stared at the plane window very excitedly.

This is the first time he boarded a plane to the United States, and it was also the first time he stepped into Hollywood, the world's movie hall!

As a Huaxia street director, this is his dream place!
Zhou Yang next to him was looking at the white clouds outside the window, but his heart was surprisingly calm.

No expectations.

Yes!

He didn't have any expectations for this trip to Oscar, he just took it to see the world in the past, and by the way, he saw what the legendary Oscar looked like...

As for whether he could win the award, to be honest, Zhou Yang had no hope at all.

There is a high probability that he ran with him in the past.

This is a movie that exposes the essence of old beauty.

Some of the content filmed in "Saw" is too explicit. Every character seems to be a pair of hands, completely tearing up the old beauty's coat of freedom, peace, and equality, revealing its ugly essence.

The Chinese media's attitude towards "Saw" going to the Oscars is very abnormal. In the past, under the control of some invisible forces, a group of media would relentlessly suppress Zhou Yang in all directions, wishing that Zhou Yang would disappear in the entertainment industry, but this In the past two days, the popularity of "Chain Saw" has been continuously pushed up, and "Chain Saw" has been praised to the sky. Even Zhou Yang's personal report is publicized, as if Zhou Yang has already won an award...

However, when those media close to Zhou Yang wrote about the Oscar ceremony of "Chain Saw", they would all mention it with "Congratulations". "The grievances of "Fatal Crisis" are not even compared with "Fatal Crisis"...

Everyone knows that "Fatal Crisis" has a high probability of winning the award!
As the Oscar of white supremacy, would the judges prefer a "Chain Saw" that exposes family ugliness to win, or another "Fatal Crisis" that flatters white people and wanders in the bustling city?
The answer seems self-evident.

After more than ten hours...

The plane landed smoothly on the edge of Los Angeles Airport...

Zhou Yang carried the luggage and took Zheng Jun off the plane.

The airport in Los Angeles is clear and clear, and the wind blowing not far away is no longer cold and chilling, but seems to have a little warmth.

After Zhou Yang left the airport, he immediately took out his mobile phone and replaced it with an international universal card.

He didn't call Christian, but dialed Zhao Sicheng's number immediately.

"Hello, Director Zhao?"

"Yes, I'm Zhou Yang, I'm in America now, I want to meet you..."

"Yes, I have no other intentions. I just want to chat with you today. Let's chat calmly..."

"No time today? Then when will you be free? I brought you a gift. If it's late, the gift won't be fresh..."

"Yes, this time I am really sincere. You are an American now. We are not of the same nationality. I thought about it for a long time on the plane just now, and I feel that some of the things I said and did are true. It's too inappropriate, I'm deeply ashamed, so I brought a gift here, and I plan to come to see you in person..."

"I'm very sincere, no, I called you as soon as I got off the plane..."

"Yes, although I can't guarantee other things, I can guarantee that you will never forget this gift..."

"Okay, I see. I'm going to your apartment right now. I won't disturb you for a long time. I'll leave after I hand over the present. This is a special kindness from Director Huang and I..."

"..."

Zheng Jun was slightly taken aback after listening to Zhou Yang's call.

He saw Zhou Yang smiling very brightly.

He was a little bewildered.

He rummaged through his luggage, but he couldn't find the so-called gift.

And Mr. Zhou and Zhao Sicheng...

It seems that you can't deal with it?

Is it because Mr. Zhou knew that "Fatal Crisis" would win an Oscar and speculated that Zhao Sicheng would most likely become an international famous director in the future, so he came here early to eliminate the previous barriers?

When thinking of this possibility, Zheng Jun sighed slightly in his heart.

After calling Zhao Sicheng, Zheng Jun saw Zhou Yang took out his cell phone and called Christian.

Because the airport was quite noisy, and Zhou Yang deliberately lowered his voice, Zheng Jun didn't hear what Zhou Yang was talking about, but vaguely felt that Zhou Yang was talking about public security and other topics.

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

"Everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous..."

"However, people grow up."

"I suddenly admired Zhou Yang. He has enough talent, but also knows how to bow his head. He understands that today is different from the past. He came here to repair the relationship with me."

"Those who can bend and stretch are worth cultivating."

"..."

in the apartment.

Zhao Sicheng smiled happily.

He had a word or two with his wife, then pushed his glasses, immersed in his identity as an American citizen.

Judging from Oscar's official attitude and Fox Tom's attitude towards himself, it is almost certain that "Fatal Crisis" will win the award.

Today is different from the past. When he was a Chinese, he was obedient to everyone, and he had a natural feeling of inferiority psychologically. But now that he has become an American, he instantly feels that he is a noble and superior person... …

His future is bright!
After "Deadly Crisis" wins the Oscar, the box office of South Korea and Japan is bound to become even hotter. It will not be a problem for "Deadly Crisis" to break through [-] million US dollars at the box office. Although the box office is far below expectations, it is still At least give Fox an explanation.

Simultaneously.

Those overseas investors will also look up to him, and will continue to invest in his new movies...

The situation is very good.

When he thought of this, he suddenly felt a little regretful.

Why didn't I make up my decision to come to the United States earlier, but why did I want to keep my Chinese nationality?
"Are you going to forgive him just like that?" the wife suddenly asked.

"Of course it's impossible to forgive him like this. Although he understands the situation, it doesn't mean that the previous disrespect for me is so lightly let go...Of course, we have to see what he can bring that I will never forget one's gift……"

"What present will he bring?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely not cheap." Zhao Sicheng smiled brightly.

Just at this time……

Ding Dong!

He heard a knock on the door.

He asked his wife to open the door...

But then his wife came over and said that Zhou Yang had been standing at the door and refused to come in, saying that he had to go out by himself.

Zhao Sicheng shook his head, thinking that Zhou Yang must be nervous.

He stood up and walked over with a smile.

"Hey, who am I supposed to be? It turns out to be our director Zhou Da. What's wrong? The sun is coming out from the west today?"

"Director Zhao..."

"Yo, yo, yo, I can't bear your call Director Zhao, I can't compare to you, you are so powerful at a young age..."

"Director Zhao, I came to visit you very sincerely this time..."

After Zhao Sicheng saw Zhou Yang lowered his head and his expression was a little twitchy, his sense of irony deepened: "Hey, how can I deserve the sincerity of a great director like you..."

"Director Zhao, I brought you a gift, can you come over a little bit? I'll give you the gift, and I'll leave..."

"Tsk tsk, what kind of gift is so mysterious..." Although Zhao Sicheng had a slightly sarcastic expression on his face, he subconsciously turned his face towards him, his eyes slightly teasing.

Just at this time……

"Snapped!"

He never dreamed that Zhou Yang, who had kept his head down, suddenly raised his head, and slapped him suddenly.

　There is only one update today, sorry, I will try my best to write tomorrow...I seem to have a fever after returning from the massage~
