You made me a superstar

Chapter 312 Infernal Affairs

"Director Zhou..."

"Director Zhou, hello."

"President Zhou, hello."

"President Zhou, the script of "The Grand Master" is really well written. We old men were teary-eyed watching it, so we must learn from you no matter what!"

"..."

Zhou Yang held several meetings.

But in all fairness, he doesn't have a good impression of many directors.

They are selfish, powerful, love for power, value the so-called family background, and control the film industry with one hand...

In fact, before he stepped into the large conference room of the relevant department, those cynical faces had already appeared in his mind.

Both sides had torn their faces last time. This time, can this group of people still greet them with a smile?

but……

When he walked into the conference room, he saw many people coming to greet him with a smile.

Cao Bangguo even came over in person, shook hands with him, and highly praised the script of "The Grand Master".

Looking around, Zhou Yang didn't see any cynicism, only friendly and enthusiastic smiling faces. Even when Zhou Yang saw Shen Jinsong's apprentice, Xu Yaoyang immediately stood up when he saw him coming. Pulled out the chair for Zhou Yang and gave enough cards.

Zhou Yang sat on his seat, looking at the enthusiastic faces, unable to guess what they were thinking.

Jiang Ge came in a few minutes after Zhou Yang sat down. He brought in a group of directors from Hong Kong Island, and talked with a smile about the cooperation plan for the mainland Hong Kong Island.

Zhou Yang vaguely heard Jiang Ge introduce his "Night Walker" script and heard the words "gangster film".

When he saw Zhou Yang, Jiang Ge greeted him enthusiastically in an instant.

"Haha, Director Zhou, welcome, welcome, welcome to join this big group..."

Zhou Yang smiled and shook hands with Jiang Ge.

The more enthusiastic Jiang Ge was, the heavier the doubts in Zhou Yang's heart.

It seems that everyone has never had any conflicts or dissatisfaction, just like old friends who have cooperated for many years.

Feng Kai, who came in behind, was also stunned by this battle. The cold reception he imagined did not appear at all. Even Song Weilian, who was full of dung, greeted him with a smile, and Feng Dao couldn't stop screaming... …

He and Zhou Yang exchanged glances.

Both of them felt that there must be a demon in this meeting.

Wang Shuai and Huang Jiacheng came in from behind.

As soon as Huang Jiacheng came in, directors from Hong Kong Island and mainland all swarmed around him, just like fans seeing a big star, Zhou Yang was dumbfounded when he heard all kinds of flattery. Zhou Yilin even moved the chair for Huang Jiacheng himself while laughing...

Huang Jiacheng also had a thick skin. He listened cheerfully to these flattery words, declined a little, and after pretending to be modest, sat down on the seat close to the rostrum.

Wang Shuai glanced at the smiling directors.

"hypocritical."

"The guy who is following the trend!"

He sat next to Zhou Yang and muttered something in a low voice.

"What's the matter? Director Wang?" Zhou Yang asked subconsciously, not knowing what he heard.

"No, Xiao Zhou, haha, the script of "The Grand Master" is really good, I was very moved... When you have time next time, help me write a literary book as well. By the way, I want to make a war movie recently , how about you help the staff?"

"Ah, Director Wang is being modest, I don't understand this..."

"You kid, don't hide your clumsiness, haha!"

"..."

Wang Shuai turned his head to look at Zhou Yang, his jealous eyes towards Huang Jiacheng flashed away, and then he narrowed his eyes in an instant. When he looked at Zhou Yang, he almost narrowed his eyes.

For some reason, Zhou Yang always felt chills coming, and felt a little uneasy for no reason.

After half an hour...

The door to the conference room opened.

An Xiao, dressed in a serious professional attire, came from a distance and greeted the directors one by one.

The originally bustling conference room became quiet instantly, and everyone looked at the secretary who was temporarily invited to host the exchange meeting.

"Ke Zhang has something to do temporarily. I will preside over the meeting instead of Ke Zhang. Today's meeting is aimed at film exchanges and cooperation between the two sides of the strait, and to deal with the upcoming opportunities and crises..."

"There was a victory in March, and in late April, the blockbuster "Sevier" will be released in Hollywood..."

"Hollywood movies are still going strong..."

"..."

After An Xiao finished speaking in the main seat, she took out the paper and pen, and handed the microphone to Feng Minrui, the president of the China Film Association. After Feng Minrui took the microphone, he didn't hold it, but handed it to Huang Jiacheng with a smile , Immediately afterwards, all the directors below were booing, saying that they should learn from Director Huang's advanced film experience and let Director Huang give lectures...

Huang Jiacheng was very cheerful, said some modest words, and after pretending to decline for a while, he talked about some situations encountered during the filming of "The Grand Master"...

Zhou Yang listened to it several times. At first, he felt that Huang Jiacheng's words were full of technical content and full of various vigilant educational meanings, but after careful consideration, he felt that it was wrong, and found that almost every sentence of Huang Jiacheng was "bragging.

And it's so loud, it seems to give people a feeling of wanting to compete with the gods.

"Cough, cough... Director Huang's filming experience is indeed worth learning and respecting, Chairman Feng, how about... today's meeting starts?"

After playing for more than ten minutes, An Xiao became more and more aware that something was wrong, and finally took advantage of the gap between Huang Jiacheng's speech, and began to take a look at Feng Minrui, President Feng.

Chairman Feng nodded with a smile on his face, and immediately began to organize the discussion.

Discussion sessions began shortly thereafter.

In fact, the content of the discussion couldn't avoid Huang Jiacheng, it was just that Huang Jiacheng himself was blowing it up, and now those Hong Kong directors are helping Huang Jiacheng to blow it up...

After playing for about ten minutes, it was officially extended from "The Grand Master" to Hong Kong Island movies.

The originally cheerful and enthusiastic atmosphere also began to gradually become a little depressed.

After the millennium, it is a general consensus that the talent in the Hong Kong Island film industry has withered.

In fact, not only the film circle, but even the TV circle is facing a state of alternation between the old and the new but no one to take the lead.

Turn on the TV and play those programs, and you will find those familiar faces coming and going, over half a century old and still wearing concealer active on the screen, those young actors in their 20s appearing under the camera, the media Their hype will always be inseparable from the "girly feeling", as if they are constantly telling the audience that although I am already middle-aged, I am still young...

In a sense, this is probably the tragedy of an industry.

Of course, it is also the trend of the times.

On the one hand, after Hollywood invaded and Hong Kong Island suffered a huge impact, a large number of directors and actors left Hong Kong Island to develop in Hollywood. Except for a few Hong Kong Island filmmakers who were desperately holding on and guarding the last piece of pure land, the rest of the films basically The Internet is like a pool of stagnant water. Investors are frightened when they make a few movies and pay for a few movies.

On the other hand, the economy in mainland China is gradually rising. Many people are keenly aware of the big cake in the mainland, and they have taken advantage of the heat to shift their focus to the mainland. Investors made a lot of money.

Such a good thing, who doesn't want to make a fortune?
Who will guard this place?

However, in the Hong Kong Island film circle with withered talents, some people still cling to the dream of "Oriental Hollywood", hoping that one day, Hong Kong Island films can rise again.

"The Grandmaster" undoubtedly gave them hope, but the movie "The Grandmaster" alone is not enough, and it cannot bring back those directors and actors who have developed overseas.

The mainland side hopes to have more contact with the Hong Kong Island side through movies and get closer, while the Hong Kong Island side hopes to use the power of the government to bring Hong Kong Island movies back to the peak and return to the era of "Oriental Hollywood". With this meeting.

The disadvantages of not going to a professional university have emerged.

Zhou Yang listened to the discussions of some directors and confirmed the direction of the new movie, but although Zhou Yang thought some names were very high-end, he didn't quite understand them.

There are no such things in the books I have read, and there are no such nouns in the theories I have heard. From time to time, some English words are mixed in. Zhou Yang is dizzy. All he knows is that Django is introducing his "Night Walker" on stage and preparing to invest. [-] million, and plans to invite actors from both sides of the strait and three places to help out, and I will film in Hong Kong Island...

Although he didn't introduce the movie and only said the words "gangster movie", a movie suddenly flashed through Zhou Yang's mind.

"Infernal Affairs"!
Zhou Yang can't remember the details, but Zhou Yang still knows the general context.

Even Zhou Yang thought of the original world's evaluation of this movie.

【The Four Great Actors Playing on the Same Stage】

【The U.S. and Japan compete to remake】

【Salvation work】

When Zhou Yang thought of these words, he immediately fell into the era when he used to rent pirated movie discs.

Piracy in this world is much less than the original world, if this movie...

"President Zhou?"

"President Zhou?"

"..."

Just when Zhou Yang was thinking about the plot, he heard someone calling himself.

He raised his head subconsciously, but saw Jiang Ge looking at him with concern: "President Zhou, I would like to invite you to play the leading role in "Nightwalker". What do you think?"

"Forehead?"

The conference room was silent for a while, and everyone was looking at Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang was about to speak, but was interrupted by a piercing cell phone ringtone.

Didn't you set your phone to silent?

The "Polaroid" knockoff mobile phone is very loud and clear, just like the Charger, beeping and beeping continuously.

However, because the mobile phone has not been put into production for a long time, and it is a counterfeit mobile phone, although the function is very powerful, there are always some problems. Many times, the mobile phone will suddenly turn on and sing in the middle of the night.

Zhou Yang thought he saw a ghost several times.

The call was from Christian.

Not long after Zhou Yang hung up the phone...

Christian's phone rings again.

have no choice……

Zhou Yang could only smile awkwardly, and lowered his head to answer the phone.

"Mr. Zhou Yang, "Struggle" is officially nominated for Cannes, and Cannes has even created a unique special award for "Struggle"!"

Although Zhou Yang went out, Christian's fluent and extremely excited, almost roaring voice could be faintly heard in the conference room.

The entire meeting room suddenly became even more silent.

"President Zhou, the speakerphone on this phone is really loud..."

Huang Jiacheng coughed slightly, breaking the calm.
