You made me a superstar

Chapter 255 Appeal

The press hall was packed with reporters who had heard the news from all directions.

Cameras were set up on the edge of the window sill, at the door, and even next to the bathroom.

The small, overcrowded space was filled with noise and screams, and under Feng Kai's astonished gaze, a fire-like heat wave ignited the premiere of "Jin Yi Wei".

Feng Kai saw Zhou Yang approaching, came to him, and showed a familiar naive smile: "Sorry, Director Feng, I'm late..."

"Zhou, Director Zhou, President Zhou, please sit down..." Feng Kai stammered, and mixed emotions rushed into his heart in an instant. In the end, he felt his nose sour.

The once arrogant young man suddenly became at a loss at this moment, because he was so shocked that he stuttered unconsciously.

He seemed to see a ray of light permeating Zhou Yang's body, filling his whole body.

He didn't even know whether he should call Zhou Yang Director Zhou or President Zhou...

Times have changed and everything has changed.

The humble layman who used to be, at this moment, under the eyes of all the people, is returning from the king, simply standing where he is, like a god on the top of a mountain, overlooking Feng Kai.

Feng Kai's eyes were moist, and he quickly invited Zhou Yang to the main seat.

but……

Zhou Yang didn't sit down, but stood by and looked at Feng Kai with a serious expression: "Director Feng, you are the protagonist today. You can sit here. I'll just find a chair next to me."

Feng Kai watched as Zhou Yang found an empty chair not far away and sat down.

Feng Kai only felt his heart tremble slightly, but he nodded when he saw Zhou Yang's eyes full of seriousness and encouragement.

All kinds of complicated emotions turned into gratitude at this moment. He sat down and answered various questions from the reporters again.

This time, the reporters seemed to be much more enthusiastic, and they were no longer as lifeless as before, as if they had completed some tasks.

They talked about the movie, the story behind the movie, introduced "Jinyiwei", and then talked about the script of the movie...

When talking about the movie "Jinyiwei", Zhou Yang participated in the revision of the script, Feng Kai obviously realized that the audience was boiling.

person's name.

The shadow of the tree.

"Mine Bottom", "The Crow", "Saw"...

Zhou Yang participated in the screenwriting of the movies, and every movie is a hit!

Coupled with the authoritative certification of the Oscar for Best Screenplay, everyone has an extremely strong interest in the movie "Jinyiwei", which no one cares about!

Time is passing little by little...

An hour was over in a blink of an eye.

Feng Kai led everyone out of the crowded conference hall. When he came outside, he found that the movie theater was full of dark people...

He saw figures of well-known Chinese film critics Ba Liming, Chen Xuzhou, Zhang Xiaoou and others in the crowd.

He saw Grein, the film critic of "Screen" at the Berlin International Film Festival, slowly walk out of the crowd, and greeted Zhou Yang excitedly...

"Jinyiwei" never invited them, but they still came!
Feng Kai was trembling deep in his heart, and his gratitude was beyond words. He could only shake hands with everyone one by one, and say thank you for their support.

The premiere screening hall was full of people, and some people who came in later could only stand and watch the movie.

The bustling auditorium made Feng Kai both happy and nervous.

After the movie started, he didn't even dare to look at the reactions of the film critics and fans around him. He was afraid of hearing some bad voices, or shaking his head and sighing.

The movie "Jinyiwei" is too important to him. This is a movie that he abandoned everything he had before and started from scratch.

Every fragment, every detail is his painstaking effort...

Also nervous were Liu Tingting, Chen Shuangbao, Zhao Zhen and others not far away.

They played marginal supporting roles in "Mine Bottom" and "The Crow", but in "Jinyiwei", they played very important roles, especially Zhao Zhen, when the movie started playing, his heart was almost suspended up.

The only one who is not worried about "Jinyiwei" is Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang has great confidence in Feng Kai.

Over the past year or so, Zhou Yang has come into contact with many directors, and even watched many movies in this world in his spare time...

When he was no longer that layman and reviewed the filming of "The Bottom of the Mine" again, Zhou Yang still felt that Feng Kai's basic skills were solid.

The movie "Jinyiwei" is basically similar to the "Xiuchun Knife" in the original world. It is a martial arts story about the joys and sorrows of the chaotic sons and daughters in the late Ming Dynasty.

When filming "The Crow", Feng Kai was often trained by Wang Shuai, and was often tortured to death.

Of course, the results of the training were very effective. The opening scene of "Jinyiwei" played up a tragic massacre in the late Ming Dynasty. The brutal realistic style opened the movie's curtain with a bloody death.

The camera is very emotional, pulling Zhou Yang into that desperate world, and using a unique way of storytelling, coupled with hearty sword fighting, attracting the attention of all audiences.

They were so much fun to watch!
They suddenly realized that this low-budget martial arts film has a unique style different from "Heroes"!

Especially Zhao Zhen!
This fringe character who played the black-hearted boss in "The Bottom of the Mine" and the heroine's old father in "The Crow" is a fringe character who disappeared in a flash. However, in "Jin Yiwei", he suddenly became a rascal and rascal again. The prodigal son of the rivers and lakes is full of personal charm.

"Who is the father-in-law going to kill?"

"Jing Ming, the Banner Officer of Beizhen Fusi!"

"Who? Doesn't Eunuch know that he is my junior brother?"

"Do people like you still care about this?"

"Father-in-law, you misunderstood, this person is my favorite relative, brother, brother!"

"You have to pay more!"

"..."

The overall tone of the story of "Jin Yiwei" is serious but heavy. From the first act, it has been describing the Jianghu in the late Ming Dynasty in a depressive way.

Many movie fans were emotionally sad and indignant, but had nowhere to release it.

However, when Zhao Zhen's character appeared, there was a moment of astonishment in the originally silent auditorium.

Zhao Zhen's acting skills are superb, he was shocked, saddened and desperate, and then his expression became playful...

With just a few simple dialogues, the characters began to become flesh and blood under Zhao Zhen's interpretation.

This scene of performance dilutes the heaviness and depression in the hearts of movie fans, allowing them to breathe emotionally...

Some people couldn't help but started laughing "puchi".

back row!

Thanks to this short plot and excellent acting skills, some film critics began to pay attention to Zhao Zhen, an actor who once came out of "Mine Bottom"...

of course……

Several foreign film critics were embarrassed.

"Jinyiwei" has no subtitles. They can't understand what these people are talking about. They just think that the performance of these people is very good, the picture is not bad, especially the fighting is quite hearty...

others?
They were at a loss.

China has Chinese culture, and this is the reason why some movies are popular in China, but they may not be popular abroad.

"Hero" is awesome, but what really makes "Hero" awesome is never the plot. Fans can't understand Qin Shihuang, assassinate Qin, or thoughts at all. They only know that the special effects are great, and the fighting is as beautiful as a painting.

others?
They don't understand most of the others!

It's not just the incomprehension of the text, but also the lack and difference in culture.

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

"I firmly oppose Zhou Yang joining the Directors Guild."

"Why did we invite him, and what else do we have to say for him to be the assistant director!"

"Why is he? This kind of person who has no elders, why?"

"I saw Zhou Yilin, Director Zhou's knees were weak, and he was frightened by the title of Oscar!"

"He just won the Oscar for Best Screenplay. Is this award important at the Oscars? No, it's just scraps at the Oscars!"

"He really thinks of himself as a character."

"Hehe! And..."

"He just vilified Lao Mei, instigated Lao Mei's internal conflicts, and used it to gain power! Who wouldn't shoot this kind of inferior behavior? My "Mechanical Man", Director Cao, you have also seen the pre-sale ticket results , in terms of box office, popularity, plot and strength, I am definitely better than "Chain Saw" by many times, and it is one of the few Chinese blockbusters exported to the United States. It is definitely more meaningful than "Chain Saw". Oscar , I can also apply for the Oscar, and I am also nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Award!"

"If you must choose an assistant director among the younger generation, I will definitely not accept him!"

"..."

At the internal meeting of the Directors Association, Jiang Ge looked at the invitation letter of the Directors Association with a livid face.

He looked so excited that he almost slapped the table.

He took out nearly 300 million pre-sale tickets for "Mechanical Man", and even showed the amazing popularity on the Internet.

Zhou Yilin still had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be embarrassed.

The rest of the directors, Cao Bangguo, Sun An, and others also shook their heads, and were very dissatisfied with Zhou Yilin's good opinion and ran to the airport to meet Zhou Yang.

Two hours later...

This meeting is finally over.

After the end, Jiang Ge still had a trace of personal emotion, as if he had seen something clearly. Even when he looked at Zhou Yilin, he didn't respect him as much as before.

but……

Not long after he got in the car, he received a call.

"What? What did you tell me? The popularity of the movie "Jin Yi Wei" has suddenly risen?"

"The pre-sale tickets also sold out not long after the premiere?"

"Wait, if I remember correctly, "Jinyiwei" is Feng Kai's movie, right? Isn't that movie really cool?"

"..."

Django's expression became serious.

It was already afternoon when he returned to the company. After seeing the statistics of "Jin Yiwei" premiered in the afternoon and the gradually rising praise, his expression instantly became unbelievable.

After he saw Zhou Yang came back from the Oscars, he ran to the premiere of "The Imperial Guard" without stopping.

He saw that the ordinary pre-sale box office of "Jinyiwei" was sold out.

He also saw hot search terms such as "Jin Yiwei script", "Oscar best screenwriter" and "Zhou Yang" appearing in the hot searches on Weibo.

These hot search words have completely overshadowed the vigorous "Mechanical Man" in the morning...
