You made me a superstar

Chapter 259 No need, no investment
early morning.

Huaxing gate.

The night that should have been completely silent, was full of voices and heavy traffic at this time.

Numerous lens lights illuminate the gate of Huaxing as if it were daytime, and the reporters crowded forward and back like zombies, frantically stretching out their hands holding the microphone, wishing to add another three or four meters to the front of the arm...

""Struggle" is a low-cost movie!"

"The estimated investment for this movie is about [-] US dollars, and the shooting time is estimated to be about a week..."

"If all goes well, this movie will officially meet with you at the end of March...

"..."

The starry sky is bright and the night is lingering.

With a smile on his face, Zhou Yang seriously answered every question raised by the reporters under the eyes of everyone.

In an instant, the audience was in an uproar.

Immediately afterwards, the noise was like a tidal wave, sweeping the entire Huaxing Building, the reporters were extremely excited, and continued to ask various questions as if they were crazy.

The leader of the reporter, Xu Bei, was holding the microphone, and he was on the spot blankly. After an unknown period of time, he took a deep breath, suppressed the complex emotions that burst out, and asked with great uncertainty. One sentence: "Mr. Zhou Yang, is it fifty thousand dollars?"

"Yes, it's $[-]!" He saw Zhou Yang nodded.

"Finished in a week?" His heart trembled slightly, but he asked again.

"Yes, the filming will be finished in a week." He saw Zhou Yang nod again with great certainty.

"It's not a documentary, but a movie?"

"Yes, it's a movie!"

Xu Bei.

One of the reporters who is close to Huaxing Entertainment, Zhou Yang sent out many first-hand interviews before.

In the early hours of this morning, he heard a little rumor from Wang Jing, saying that in the early morning, Zhou Yang would announce the news of the new movie around the time "Jin Yiwei" was released at the box office.

He was so excited!
He rushed here as soon as he received the news, he thought he should be the earliest reporter.

However, when he arrived here, he found that countless media outlets were covering Huaxing, and even some corners of the walls were covered with cameras.

At that moment, he realized that Zhou Yang's new movie was not easy...

He even thought that Zhou Yang might want to make a big movie like "The Golden Armor" with an investment of more than [-] million RMB!

After all, at the Oscars ceremony, Hollywood actor Will Smith personally announced that he would be in Zhou Yang's new movie "Struggling".

Will Smith, his salary in Hollywood is more than 500 million US dollars, and it is almost [-] million yuan in RMB!
He was very excited, guessing whether the movie was a war movie, a science fiction movie, or even a martial arts movie...

Although there is an indescribable sense of disobedience when thinking of black people playing Chinese Kung Fu...

Thanks to his good relationship with Huaxing Entertainment and the fact that he is the reporter that Wang Jing focuses on, he stands in an excellent position and is the first reporter to ask questions!
then……

He was stunned.

The huge gap in his heart made Xu Bei feel like he was dreaming.

but!

The noisy and crazy sense of hustle and bustle constantly reminded Xu Bei that this was not a dream...

This is real!

Zhou Yang is serious!

$[-] to make a movie!
Finished in a week?
How to shoot this?
What kind of international joke is this!

The entire Chinese film circle, no, is there such a movie in the entire world film circle?
After a few minutes.

The security guards worked very hard to open an exclusive passage for Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang checked the time, and after saying sorry to everyone, he left Huaxing under the protection of the security guards.

Xu Bei stared blankly at Zhou Yang's back.

He still couldn't get out of the shock.

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

"sky!"

"is this real?"

"A movie with an investment of [-] US dollars? Are you sure Zhou Yang isn't joking?"

"Wait, that's wrong. It's March [-]rd, not April [-]st. This isn't April Fool's Day at all!"

"It should be a joke, who would foolishly invest fifty thousand dollars to make a movie, what would it be like!"

"I think it's crazy too. A celebrity like Will Smith has just won the Oscar winner, and now his net worth has skyrocketed. How could he participate in such a movie?"

"Split? The share is too fucking ridiculous. A movie made for [-] dollars must be watched by someone. I don't believe that Zhou Yang has such an ability to turn stones into gold..."

"Will Smith's brain was kicked by a donkey? You said he was really generating electricity for love? I don't believe it at all. Don't talk about racism and contradictions with me!"

"..."

The morning of March [-]rd.

Netizens woke up and found that Zhou Yang, after the Oscar for Best Screenplay, once again rushed to the headlines of major media searches.

After seeing the news, netizens were shocked and watched Zhou Yang's interview video no less than ten times over and over again...

It is not a composite, let alone a cut out, but a real on-site interview video.

The film critic Ba Liming was even more stunned watching the contents of the interview video.

He couldn't figure out what kind of plane Zhou Yang wanted to build!
"Chain Saw" is now a big hit, and it's time to get closer to attracting investment and preparing for a blockbuster film.

The movie that Will Smith participated in, let alone Huaxia, the investment from Laomei is very good, after all, celebrity effect!

Even if Zhou Yang announced that he would make a movie with an investment of [-] million U.S. dollars, which would be even better than "Jurassic", Baliming would not be surprised!

but……

Why did this guy suddenly announce that he was going to take Will Smith to make a movie with an investment of only [-] US dollars?

What does this mean?
He was in front of the computer, thinking for five hours and couldn't figure out what Zhou Yang meant...

He even felt that Zhou Yang had been lowered.

Others make movies with higher investment and bigger plate, while Zhou Yang makes movies with lower investment and shorter shooting time.

After Baliming saw the popularity on the Internet, he felt suddenly...

This should be another hype planned by Zhou Yang!
The purpose is also very simple, just to attract people's attention.

but……

Suddenly, he fell into a deeper daze.

No, Zhou Yang just won the Oscar for Best Screenplay, and now he is very popular. Does he need to use this gimmick to hype it?

Isn't this full of food?

Could it be that this guy really wants to shoot?
..............................

Django lost sleep.

He lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a long time, unable to understand what Zhou Yang was going to do.

but!

A little django is sure!

Even if Zhou Yang said the truth, he would never believe that Zhou Yang would really spend $[-] to make a movie with Will Smith at this moment when his brain suddenly got hot.

Isn't this an insult to his IQ?

How can anyone shoot some bad movies that must hit the street when they are at their peak?
It's almost like a neurological problem!

Nine o'clock in the morning.

He followed Cao Bangguo to the relevant departments for a meeting.

With dark circles under his eyes, Jiang Ge asked Cao Bangguo this question.

Cao Bangguo did not answer directly, but shook his head slightly and narrowed his eyes.

"He's a smart guy!"

"You'll find out later."

After saying this, Cao Bangguo turned his head and looked out the window with a little complicated eyes.

The car didn't go straight to the relevant department as usual, but stopped when it reached Huaxing Entertainment.

Huaxing Entertainment was still surrounded by reporters.

Jiang Ge didn't know what Cao Bangguo meant by these two words, but he didn't ask, but looked at Cao Bangguo with puzzled eyes fixed on the gate.

About half a minute later, Cao Bangguo suddenly took out his mobile phone after seeing someone, and made a call as if to confirm something.

"Wang Sikai and Wang Shao from Wanda Group have gone in?"

"Oh, okay, I see, the person in charge of Yongxin also went in?"

"Okay, I know."

After calling.

The car continued on.

Jiang Ge was taken aback when he heard the familiar names from Cao Bangguo's mouth.

Wanda Group and Yongxin Group are well-known companies in the Chinese film circle.

Especially Wang Sikai, the young master of Wanda Group, is a big money lord in the film industry. He just took over the investment business of Wanda Group the year before last, and invested money in many blockbuster films, including "Hero" released last year. This year's "Curse of the Golden Armor", and even Django's own film "Mechanical Man" have millions of investment from Wang Sikai in it...

Wang Sikai, why did you come to Huaxing for no reason?

Could it be.

"He's a smart guy..."

"He's taking advantage of the situation..."

"Actually, since his debut, every path he has taken is to use the opportunity to hype..."

""Chain Saw" is a hype, by vilifying the United States, arousing the resonance of some blacks, and then boosting the box office, "The Crow" is hyping the theme of women's abduction, arousing public opinion and resonance, and even the previous "Mine" "Bottom" is very likely to be a hype, don't you think it's ridiculous? Not long after Berlin came back, the big "Mine Bottom" case happened. In fact, a police friend of mine told me that "Mine Bottom" actually The police have been tracking the case before Berlin. All this seems to be a coincidence, but in fact, when analyzed, it is actually very careful and horrifying. I am afraid that there must be something tricky that we don't know about..."

"He suddenly brought a lot of media to the premiere of "Jin Yiwei", and he was also using the momentum of the Oscar for Best Screenplay to hype..."

"He is using his way to explain with all the capital that he has a very large influence in China, and this influence is enough to affect the box office trend of a movie!"

""Jinyiwei" is a very successful case!"

"Think about it, with a total investment of 700 million, the daily box office is now more than 1000 million. With such a crazy income ratio, which capital is not crazy?"

"And "Struggle"? He seemed to announce in front of all the media that he spent [-] dollars to make a movie, but in fact, how could the investment of [-] dollars be enough for the movie that Will Smith participated in?"

"He is telling the capital that his new round of hype has begun, and he is hinting at capital so that capital can come in..."

"Let's go!"

"Now, this kid is probably in the company, chatting with Wang Sikai and others about investment!"

"..."

After Cao Bangguo said this series of words, he looked out of the window, and a sense of regret suddenly appeared on his face: "This kid, if you don't sing against the association, it will be fine, it's easy to break..."

When Jiang Ge heard Cao Bangguo say these words, he felt a little unspeakable discomfort in his heart, and felt that these words were very harsh.

"Director Cao, a person's character is the most important thing. I think scheming and hype are just trails...it won't go very far." Jiang Ge couldn't help saying a word. Not enough, and added another sentence: "Without reverence for seniors and blind arrogance, how can this go far? Which senior in the association has never been brilliant?"

Cao Bangguo smiled after listening, but did not respond.

About half an hour later, the car stopped at the gate of the relevant department.

"Huh? Wanda Group?"

"Sister Jing, let me tell you this, we don't accept investment..."

"Really, we just need to invest in the movie ourselves."

"Yes, you don't need a single investment, just refuse them all for me."

"No, no, I'm in the relevant department now, sister Jing, tell Mr. Wang and the others that this movie really doesn't accept any form of investment..."

When several people got out of the car, he saw Zhou Yang walked straight out of another car with his mobile phone, just walked up to them, and said these words in a helpless and serious tone .
