You made me a superstar

Chapter 345 Crazy?

"Lighthouse by the Sea" tells the story of two lonely tower keepers.

Adapted from the work "The Lighthouse" by a famous American writer.

This novel was a sensation in the 80s in this world, and indirectly promoted the legal protection and support of love for special groups.

The right to adapt the novel was bought by the director Marie Vine early on. The female director spent nearly ten years preparing for the film...

After Zhou Yang flipped through the script a little, he suddenly felt that this movie was very similar to a scene from "Brokeback Mountain", but there seemed to be no direct or indirect scenes of intimacy.

The script is not uncomfortable to read, at least the script adapted by director Marie Vine seems to be purely written about the hard work and loneliness of the night watchman on the island day and night.

There's really nothing to change about the script.

Zhou Yang didn't know Laomei's current environment, and he didn't know what those lighthouse people were like. He just made some adjustments to some trivial script lines and wrote some self-righteous suggestions.

After finishing writing, he felt that something was wrong, so he threw the suggestion into the trash can and handed the script to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen glanced at the suggestion on the trash can, then looked at Zhou Yang in confusion.

"Director Zhou, wouldn't this be such a pity..."

"It's no pity, the script is pretty good, there's nothing wrong with it, and there's nothing to add."

"it is good."

Zhao Zhen is Huaxing's signed artist...

Naturally, every film received has to go through Huaxing's contract and review process.

The movie "Lighthouse by the Sea" was paid 200 million US dollars by the other party. Although this is not enough for many first-line celebrities, it is not a small amount of income for Zhao Zhen. The most important thing is that this is his career. The first protagonist in his career, uh, even though it was a heroine, he cherished it very much.

After signing the contract, Zhao Zhen was obviously very happy.

But then, as if thinking of something, he hesitated for a while, and looked at Zhou Yang as if mustering up his courage: "Director Zhou, can you, can I take a look at the things in the trash can?"

"Well, take a look if you're interested, but it's messy and nothing interesting."

"fine!"

After hearing Zhou Yang's agreement, Zhao Zhenru got a treasure.

He lowered his head and took out the crumpled draft paper from the trash can, and carefully stuffed it into his arms: "Director Zhou, then did I go to ponder the script of "Infernal Affairs"?"

"Go..."

Zhou Yang smiled and nodded.

Not long after Zhao Zhen left, there was a knock on the office door.

Zhou Yang looked up.

James Bunter pushed the door.

"Mr. Zhou Yang, you are very talented and will go a long way in the film industry. I give this note to you. I hope it can help you..."

James Bunter was gone.

He originally wanted to give "Infernal Affairs" some help to repay Zhou Yang's favor for the script of "Jaws", but later found that "Infernal Affairs" didn't need any help. After thinking about it, he finally compiled the "Movie Notes" that he had compiled over the years Send it to Zhou Yang.

He is very optimistic about Zhou Yang.

After Zhou Yang received "Movie Notes", he felt like a treasure, and he couldn't wait to read it as soon as he sent James Bunter away.

The notes are not only about the director, but also about the actors, about the set, about the equipment and the storyboard. The details are so detailed that Zhou Yang is eye-opening.

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

The days passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it came to May [-]th.

After the craze of "The Grand Master" gradually subsided, the Chinese film circle in May made countless filmmakers feel the pressure.

20 days of release of "Sevier"
The box office reached a staggering [-] million yuan.

From the box office record of "Jurassic" of 3000 million, there seems to be no suspense.

No one could have imagined it, including the director himself, Kadelf, who had never expected that this movie would be so awesome, and it might even kill "Jurassic", the king of Hollywood horror movies.

Of course, he was excited, excited, even ambitious...

When he was invited by the China Film Association, he was actually reluctant to come to China.

He actually looked down on these Chinese filmmakers, and he was born with an inexplicable sense of superiority.

It seems that in these years, any movie you make, as long as you put on the name of Hollywood, it will be a big hit in China.

In fact, it is true, and it is impossible to refute it.

When he came to China, the group headed by the China Film Association gave him a very high standard reception...

He saw pairs of adoring and fiery eyes, countless young directors were by his side, and all kinds of praises were heard endlessly.

Once he becomes a god, he will naturally be the focus of attention.

While drinking and drinking, he inevitably swelled up. Although he still had a smile on the surface, he looked down on Huaxia's directors more and more.

No wonder these people can't make any good movies, they are all "movie savages" who have never seen the world.

When he returned to Hollywood, he smiled brightly and said some decent things when he was interviewed by reporters.

But after looking back at the accompanying staff, when the assistant director asked him how he felt about Huaxia, he had a bright and indifferent smile on his face.

"These filmmakers, it's no big deal at all..."

"History is always surprisingly similar..."

"It is undeniable that there will be some stubborn resistance in the future, but the Chinese film circle is actually our colony..."

"I'm just going to visit the colony."

He is laughing.

The assistant director also laughed.

Just when everyone was extremely happy, he received a call, and not long after, he saw a Chinese man coming to him respectfully.

"You are..."

"My name is Zhao Sicheng..."

"Oh? Director Zhao?" After seeing this person, Kadelf seemed to have some impressions, as if he had a quarrel with another Chinese director named Zhou Yang before.

"Yes!"

"You are looking for me..."

"I want to make a movie and need your help..."

"Why do you need my help?"

"I'm not wanted in Hollywood, I have nothing, but I have a good script..."

"..."

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

May flies by.

In the blink of an eye, it was June.

The weather is getting hotter.

The investment in the promotion of "Night Walker" is astonishing. Not only did it spend money to buy all the most famous media hot searches on Hong Kong Island and mainland China, but also the words ""Night Walker"" appeared almost every day on Weibo. , the content is either the gossip of the male and female protagonists, or the sparks of the king and queen, or how difficult the filming was, how difficult it was to shoot, and the conflict between the director Jiang Ge and Zhao Shaohui, Zhao Tianwang and others in the crew...

In short, how do news bloggers get their attention.

I don't know if it's because of the too vigorous publicity of "Night Walker", but "Infernal Affairs" seems unusually quiet.

Countless reporters gathered outside the crew of "Infernal Affairs", but they squatted in a daze for nearly half a month and didn't get any news. They were so low-key that it was unbelievable.

When Liu Tianwang was finally caught, Liu Tianwang was in a daze.

"to be frank……"

"I've been shooting the movie "Infernal Affairs" for almost a month, and I don't even know what I'm doing..."

"I don't have a complete script, I only know that I will play a very upright and upright policeman in it."

When asked about John Williams, Liu Tianwang shook his head: "I don't know, he never came to the set..."

Obviously, this kind of answer can't form any hot spots, at most it's news like "The script of "Infernal Affairs" is mysterious", and it's impossible for netizens to pay too much attention to it.

Time continued to pass day by day.

All the media wanted to dig out the news of "Infernal Affairs", but after digging for a long time, they found that they couldn't find anything at all.

As time went by, the already lively media began to pay less and less attention to "Infernal Affairs", and even many media who stayed at John Williams felt like idiots.

How could Zhou Yang compose some amazing tune, and then attract the attention of John Williams?
Isn't this bullshit?

Although he can play music and is talented, how long has he only been in contact with music?And the gap with John Williams is really huge!
This can make up some amazing tunes, isn't this the same as how a sow can climb a tree?

How could there be such nonsense in this world?

"Of course I believe in Mr. Zhou Yang's talent."

"But what about it?"

"There are some gossips, but they are not guaranteed to be true. Today I just chat casually..."

"Probably because the crew of "Infernal Affairs" paid a lot of money to invite John Williams to help compose the episode of "Infernal Affairs", and then asked John Williams to help with the hype..."

"Of course I don't believe this gossip. I don't think it's necessary for Mr. Zhou Yang to do this. I believe in Mr. Zhou Yang's character even more. I don't think this is hype, maybe it's a misunderstanding..."

"You know, in this era of Internet traffic, there are a lot of rumors and rumors, and three people become tigers, who knows..."

June [-]rd.

After Jiang Ge was asked about "Infernal Affairs" when he was interviewed by reporters, Jiang Ge might have drunk too much, and he smiled and said pertinent words when facing reporters.

but……

Sometimes life is really full of drama.

When Jiang Ge finished these words in front of all the media and returned to the crew.

He saw the assistant walk in with a serious face.

"John Williams seems to have been driven crazy by Zhou Yang!"

"What? What's crazy?" Django was a little dazed when he heard the assistant's words, and then his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Just now, a friend of mine in "Infernal Affairs" told me that John Williams seems to be crying and laughing at other times, and sometimes smashing things angrily...especially when he saw Zhou Yang, John Williams seemed to be very emotional. Although his friend was far away and didn't know what Zhou Yang said to John Williams, John Williams behaved very abnormally, as if scolding What's unfair... God is partial..."

"Is the news accurate?" Django frowned.

"It should be true!" The assistant's expression became more serious.
