You made me a superstar

Chapter 322 Why Are You Asking Me For Authorization?

April [-]th.

The Cannes International Film Festival began its premiere half a month in advance.

The films exhibited at this year's Cannes International Film Festival are all very in-depth films.

From exposing the plight of the grassroots to the superstructure of drunkenness and dreams, almost every movie title presents a bloody status quo, which makes people's jaw drop after watching it.

"Celsius 911" also premiered.

After the premiere, the entire Cannes International Film Festival caused a sensation.

This is a semi-documentary film.

The director is Michael Morgan, an old American anti-war fighter. He is a filmmaker who is brilliant but radical in his remarks, which has caused headaches for the old American authorities.

Early 90s...

He has filmed ten documentary films such as "American Recession", "Bad News from Wall Street", "Atomic Bomb", and each film scratches the flesh and blood of the old beauty, revealing the gloomy bones inside, which makes people unbearable Live with shudders.

In his hands, the camera is like a freer and more lethal gun. Every shot is like a bullet, which ruthlessly hits the forehead of the old American authorities, blasting the blood-red brains.

It is no surprise that all of these films are restricted to release in the United States, and the US authorities are very strict with these films, and none of them have been released internationally.

Michael Morgan is a bigot.

Even though the film was restricted to release in the US, even though it was warned by the US authorities, he still insisted on his belief as a filmmaker, and spent three years filming "Celsius 911/[-]".

The gory footage of this documentary film tells the brutal images of the Iraq-US war, and it is crazier than Michael Morgan's previous films.

Its shots are not only on the battlefield, but also sneaked into the old US military, interviewed a large number of civilians and old American soldiers in Iraq, and even infiltrated a large number of old American politicians.

When the Cannes International Film Festival officially got the film "Celsius 911" and watched it for a while, many judges were frightened on the spot. the rest of their film careers.

The star of this movie is George Coleman, who is the current president of the United States.

Every shot of him in the movie is very realistic, some are from the news, some are candid shots that are unknown outside the news, and there are even scenes of black people being discriminated against in the military.

of course……

There is no taste of deliberate belittling, and even from the surface of the movie, George Coleman is still praised.

He often appears in the camera with a kind of demeanor and a warm smile, which makes movie viewers quite fond of him.

however……

As the plot progresses, every conversation and every meeting is like a kind of irony, especially the pieces of information pieced together in the footage, alluding to the family behind George Coleman, who has thousands of connections with terrorists Inextricably linked.

Especially when the 911 building was bombed, George Coleman's astonished and shocked expression vividly revealed some unknown secrets.

"This man is crazy!"

"God, will he make it to Cannes alive?"

"This movie is made like this, is his plane okay?"

"Oh my God, he actually arrived in Cannes, can he go back?"

"God! Please protect this man!"

"..."

April [-]th at two o'clock in the afternoon.

After the premiere of the movie "Celsius 911", amidst bursts of exclamations, Michael Morgan came to the screening hall.

Not only did he come to the scene, but he also came with Chairman Steve Ferrez.

He bowed to all the fans and said a lot with his hands raised.

His ability to control the field is very good, and his speech ability is even better. Every sentence is sonorous and powerful, which makes all the audience excited. They feel that he is like a hero who came out of the dark age.

"Mr. Steve Ferris, is Mr. Zhou Yang here?"

"I haven't come yet. It seems that I am busy with work, so I will come here a little later."

"Oh, I really can't wait to meet this oriental director, I think he has the same temperament as me, we are all heroes of this era..."

"In fact, I am also looking forward to seeing him. Mr. Christian chatted with me all night yesterday about Mr. Zhou Yang's film. In fact, I also saw in him the noble character of a filmmaker and his It’s such a rare sacrifice.”

"Well, huh? Is that Mr. Christian in front?"

"Seems to be……"

"..."

After the canvassing speech for himself, Michael Morgan and Chairman Steve Ferris left the screening room.

While chatting, the two saw Christian coming to the premiere hall of "Struggle", so they walked up to say hello.

Christian is accompanied by a photographer with disheveled hair.

Michael Morgan knew this camera. His name was Cameron, and he was a photographer from France.

When he saw Michael Morgan, that Cameron's eyes lit up.

"Mr. Michael Morgan, I hope that when Mr. Zhou Yang comes, I can take a special photo of you and Mr. Zhou Yang, is that possible?"

"What special group photo?" Michael Morgan was a little puzzled.

"I have always wanted to take an anti-war photo, especially at the historic moment when the old US is about to withdraw. I hope to take this photo to this month's World Press Photo contest. Your film, your The deeds of the characters will be recorded in this historic annals..."

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

in the office.

Zhou Yang finished reading the script of "The Youth I Chased Together in Those Years".

After reading it, he silently looked out of the window, feeling slightly moved.

He seemed to have returned to the youthful age, and saw familiar shadows one by one.

There are always many regrets in life.

Many times, when we look back on the past, we will sigh in regret.

I thought it would be nice if I could cherish it or work hard at the beginning.

Zhou Yang naturally has regrets.

In the original world, his family was not rich and he had no interest in learning. Under the influence of his roommates, he was addicted to games and novels. Later, he was admitted to a junior college. After graduation, he became a low-level animal in society. Living in depression and sadness under the difficulties of the leaders and the exclusion of colleagues.

I also broke out and resigned in anger, thinking that I can go anywhere in the world, and I feel that there is always a place where I can value myself.

I quit my job a few times and changed a few different jobs. The initial edges and corners were worn away by life. In the stumbling, I finally recognized myself. While gradually lowering my head, I also lost the last trace of the strictest and became small. screws.

With a college degree, no ability or skills, no high emotional intelligence, and an ordinary family background with no special skills, how can you succeed?

The overall plot of "The Youth I Chased Together in Those Years" is very plain. There is no bitterness and deep hatred, no roar of anger, no so-called youth under the storm, and no nonsense love that kills you and kills you.

It is completely different from the youth movies on the market, not even Guan Tong's "Youth".

It's not so much a movie, it's more like a documentary script...

In the story, Zhou Yang sees the youthful years of the college entrance examination, the separate ways after graduation, the drunken life and dreams in college, the confused stumble after graduation, and the cruel reality of employment.

Because they are ordinary people.

The male protagonist named Zhang Yun is a typical rich second generation. He is rich, handsome, good at basketball and martial arts. Not only does he study well in school, he is also a modest gentleman. He is very popular with teachers and classmates In the depiction of the script of "The Youth I Chased Together in Those Years", although Zhang Yun is indifferent to reading and his grades are mediocre, he has almost no other shortcomings.

After graduating from university, when everyone was confused about employment and the future and experienced repeated setbacks, he joined his family business smoothly and made the business flourish, becoming the youngest entrepreneur born in the 80s. And relying on her personal connections to help the heroine and her team achieve success...

Different from the so-called dandy rich second generations in many novels and TV dramas, this is the true portrayal of many rich second generations and ordinary people in reality.

And in the movie of the heroine, such a character is definitely a big selling point in the movie.

however……

After Zhou Yang simulated the shooting scene for a long time, he still couldn't immerse himself in this character.

This seemingly simple role was quite challenging for him.

The characters he used to play were either mining workers, evil faction elements, or closed-off ordinary people. They all have one characteristic, they all live at the bottom of society, which is sad and deplorable.

In reality, Zhou Yang, who also lives at the bottom, has seen too many people like this.

however……

Rich second generation, and a capable rich second generation.

After flipping through the script of "The Youth I Chased Together in Those Years" again, he fell into deep thought.

Zhou Yang has never acted.

What is he like?
Is it the same as the F4 in "Pop Garden", or is it going around Kia like the boys who have never seen the world in "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower"?
His impression of these people only stayed on this.

Just when Zhou Yang was about to call Guan Tong and reject the role, there was a knock on the office door.

Zhou Yang saw Guan Tong walking in with a new script.

"Mr. Zhou."

"Guide..."

"I changed the script of the movie and added a new character. This character may need your publicity authorization..."

"What character?" Zhou Yang was taken aback after hearing this.

"You look at it first."

"Oh."

Zhou Yang took over the script and read it for a while, especially when he saw the biography of the new character "Zhang Yang", he felt a sense of deja vu, and then he raised his head abruptly with an extremely shocked expression.

"Is this character based on me?"

"Although "The Youth I Chased Together in Those Years" is an inspirational and realistic movie, the story is too depressing, like a black humor wrapped in the appearance of a fairy tale. During this time, I always felt that something was missing. Later, I After thinking about it, there is a cruel reality in this movie, but in the cruel reality, there are also those ordinary people who rose from adversity..." Guan Tong smiled, and then talked to Zhou Yang about his love for "Those Years Together" The expectations of the movie Chased Youth and what it wants to express in it.

"Guan Dao, what kind of authorization do you want?" Zhou Yang said after listening to Guan Tong talking a lot, after a long silence.

"I want to write [some characters' experiences are adapted from reality] before the movie promotion..."

"Well, no problem." Zhou Yang nodded and glanced out of the window again.

"Mr. Zhou, what's the matter with you?"

"Director Guan, do you think I can play a rich second generation well?"

Just when Zhou Yang fell into saying these words and Guan Tong was about to answer, there was another knock on the door in the office.

Then...

Zhou Yang saw Feng Kai approaching.

"Mr. Zhou, this is my new movie script. If it's convenient, I hope to get your authorization..." After Feng Kai greeted Guan Tong, he looked at Zhou Yang.

"Director Feng, who authorized it?" Zhou Yang was taken aback.

"Recently, the higher-ups are promoting positive energy. I hope to make more positive-energy movies. I searched for a lot of stories and wrote a lot of themes, but I couldn't find a suitable one. Later, when I was browsing the post bar the night before, I saw After reading the messages from your fans, I suddenly thought of you, so I tentatively sorted out your deeds, and unknowingly, I wrote your story into an inspirational script, and then I found this script It's very inspirational, after the filming, there should be many people watching..." Feng Kai handed Zhou Yang a script called "Chaoyang", and then said these words seriously.

After seeing Zhou Yang take over the script, Feng Kai hesitated for a while, took a deep breath, and his eyes exuded a light that Zhou Yang couldn't understand: "I want to present you in the form of a movie. From high school to college, and the story of the film we made during that time, I am deeply touched by this story. I think I can make it well...Mr. Zhou, I hope to get your script authorization and publicity authorization...Maybe They will use slogans such as [Adapted from the real story of Mr. Zhou Yang]..."

Guan Tong held the biography of "The Youth I Chased Together in Those Years" and stared blankly at Feng Kai.

Zhou Yang flipped through the script of "Chaoyang" subconsciously, then looked at Guan Tong, and then at Feng Kai.

His mind went blank.

A movie based on my story?

Anyone watching?

"Mr. Zhou?"

"Mr. Zhou?"

After hearing Feng Kai calling him twice, Zhou Yang nodded subconsciously: "Authorization is no problem, just like this, will anyone watch it? If no one watches it after filming, wouldn't it be... embarrassing? "

"Yes!" Feng Kai nodded, full of confidence: "Absolutely!"

"That's fine, aren't you going to shoot "Jin Yi Wei 2"?"

"The investment in "Jinyiwei 2" is bigger than the first one, I want to shoot something else in the middle."

"Oh……"

Just after Zhou Yang nodded blankly, his cell phone rang.

The call came from Zheng Jun who was filming "Lamb" with Christian in Laomei.

He looked at Zhou Yang excitedly.

"Boss, boss, the SNB game company of Laomei contacted our company just now, and he hopes to get your authorization!"

"Authorization? Authorize what?" Zhou Yang was stunned.

"The authorization for the adaptation of the game "Chain Saw"!"

"???"

　Originally, today is a happy day and I should write more, but the things in life are very nonsensical, so I can only update 4000 words first... I will resume updating tomorrow, so I should update more and earn more compensation.
