You made me a superstar

Chapter 453 451

Since "The Crow", Wang Shuai has not made any other films.

"The Crow" hit Wang Shuai very hard. He went to Cannes, but he didn't win any substantive awards. The reputation was quite good, and the box office was not bad, but he didn't win any awards in the end.

Later, I wanted to write some notebooks that satisfied me a little, but my hair was almost turning white, and I couldn't write anything in the end.

"The Crow" made him exhausted.

His director level is still there, and his control over human nature is still there, but he just can't find a suitable work for him to show off.

He thought of Zhou Yang, and wanted Zhou Yang to get some notebooks, but he couldn't bear it for a while, and was complaining with Shen Changwei, when he just received a call from Zhou Yang.

Shen Changwei has also been holding back recently.

As a literary film and commercial film, "one of the representative directors of the Five Dynasties of China", finally pulled "Hero" out, the commercial and word-of-mouth are very good, but it has repeatedly suffered setbacks in the area of ​​winning awards.

"Hero" went to Berlin and got nothing. It went to Oscar, but in the end it didn't get anything. It almost didn't even go through the door of Oscar.

Although the Golden Statue Awards and Golden Horse Awards have awarded some substantive awards, they are still very good in China, and it is embarrassing to go overseas.

"In recent years, overseas awards have always been like this. If you want to win awards, you have to shoot some pain points in China. The special effects of "Heroes" are really awesome, and the plot is also quite deep. The feelings of family and country, but you ran to Overseas, those foreigners can't understand, they only know that people are flying around in the sky, but they don't understand Chinese culture at all..."

"But when the pain point is taken, there are some butts that are not straight, and they are dedicated to exposing Huaxia's ugliness for outsiders to see..."

"But without the vigilance and encouragement of these films, people will be very paralyzed, filming these singing and dancing things every day, isn't this the Southern Song Dynasty?"

"This is..."

Shen Changwei walked into the conference room while chatting with Wang Shuai.

Although he belongs to the Huaxia Film Association, he has never taken care of a bunch of bad things. He neither followed these people to make noises because of the poor treatment, nor supported An Xiao's decision in public. Always in a state of freedom.

This time I came to Huaxing with Wang Shuai, and I just ran over to have a look, without any other thoughts.

"This book is good! Would you like to play a role?"

"forget it……"

"Huang Feihong continues to let Huo Yuanjie play?"

"Well, let's continue. After all, it's a series of movies. Besides the second one, there's also a third one..."

"The third book is out?"

"Not yet, but there is an outline, let's shoot this one first."

"After "The Grandmaster 2", Huo Yuanjie's net worth has increased a lot, I'm afraid the investment will increase..."

"I'll vote for Huaxing!"

"How much to vote?"

"1000 million..."

"Hahaha, this is too little. As a Huaxing production company, you just invested 1000 million. Isn't this too little? Isn't it [-] million?"

"Recently, the company has invested too much, and if it invests more, it will not be able to turn around."

"Okay, OK, no problem, let's make this plate bigger. In addition to investment, the company also has 30.00% of the box office share, and I will find someone for the remaining 70.00%..."

"I've talked with Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang is willing to invest [-] million..."

"That's okay, I don't need to find someone anymore, haha, I have been waiting for your "Grandmaster 2" script for so long, and I have been looking for you many times, and now it is finally finished."

When they came over, Huang Jiacheng was already in the meeting room.

Huang Jiacheng was chatting with Zhou Yang about "The Grandmaster 2" with a smile on his face. His body, which was close to two meters, was like a hill even if he was sitting.

After talking about filming and investment, Huang Jiacheng took the book of "The Grandmaster 2 Top Gun" and couldn't put it down.

Compared with Wang Shuai and Shen Changwei, Huang Jiacheng is now at the peak of his career. Although "The Grand Master" has not won any awards overseas, it has won numerous awards in China, and it has also broken historical records at the overseas box office, and brought There was a fad, and it became the No. 1 box office of Chinese movies for a while.

Shen Changwei and Wang Shuai greeted Huang Jiacheng and sat down.

Wang Shuai looked at Zhou Yang...

I found that compared with the previous days, Zhou Yang looked very haggard at this moment, with scary dark circles under his eyes, but his eyes were very energetic, as if a ball of flames were burning, and his fighting spirit was high.

This made it difficult for Wang Shuai to connect with the low self-esteem and a little shy young man, and made Wang Shuai think that he misjudged the person, or Zhou Yang was taken away by something.

"Director Wang... I wonder if you are interested in "Infernal Affairs 2"?"

""Infernal Affairs 2"?"

"Yes, with Liu Jianming as the main character, it mainly tells the story of Liu Jianming falling into a paranoid illusion after Chen Yongren's death, and some schizophrenia. This is probably the outline of the story..."

"Oh? Let me see."

After Zhou Yang probably handed the script to Wang Shuai, he looked at Shen Changwei again, and his eyes started to become hotter, as if the flames became stronger: "Director Shen, have you thought about making a movie recently?"

"Yes, but it's very difficult to make a decision at the moment..." Zhou Yang's words came straight to the point, making Shen Changwei a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Lack of a script?"

"There will always be a shortage of scripts."

"Could you tell me roughly what type of script you want?"

"Huh?" After Shen Changwei heard Zhou Yang's reckless question, he was taken aback for a moment, and then his face flashed a bit weird: "Can you make up a notebook on the spot according to my idea, or do you have a lot of notebooks?"

"Tell me first?" Zhou Yang looked at Shen Changwei with anticipation on his face.

"This..." Shen Changwei frowned slightly. He suddenly felt that this was a bit hasty. After hesitating for a while, he didn't know how to respond to Zhou Yang.

"Let's talk about the few books edited by Xiao Zhou, which one is bad? If you want business, you need business, and you need literature and art..." Wang Shuai flipped through the script of "Infernal Affairs 2" and was full of surprises, without turning his head. Said this sentence.

"Haha, Director Zhou, I said that I want to make a foreign-language Oscar-winning movie, can you?" Seeing Zhou Yang's serious appearance, Shen Changwei felt that Zhou Yang was so confident that he had no limits, so he joked.

He thought that after he asked this question, Zhou Yang's face would be embarrassed, or at least he would retreat, but he didn't expect Zhou Yang to sit back on the chair instead, and didn't reply immediately, and he didn't feel much embarrassment. Instead, he fell into deep thought.

The meeting room suddenly became quiet.

After this silence lasted for three or four minutes, Huang Jiacheng stood up and greeted the two cheerfully: "You guys go ahead, I'll go first."

After Shen Changwei and Wang Shuai responded to Huang Jiacheng, Huang Jiacheng took the script and left the meeting room.

The conference room suddenly became quiet again.

Wang Shuai was reading the script of "Infernal Affairs 2", while Zhou Yang, who was sitting in the main seat, lowered his head, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote while thinking deeply.

Shen Changwei looked at Zhou Yang's serious look, and his joking mood gradually disappeared, and turned into worry.

He actually admired Zhou Yang a lot.

Zhou Yang's movies, from "Mine Bottom" to "Infernal Affairs", he has watched every movie.

He naturally also knew that after Venice came back, the directors from the China Film Association suddenly attacked Zhou Yang, and Zhou Yang's life might be difficult in the future.

It is equivalent to one person facing so many directors in China, and uniting theaters and various capitals to threaten the relevant departments with box office results...

At this stall, will the relevant departments sacrifice Zhou Yang alone, or will they sacrifice these older directors?

Things speak for themselves.

Even if An Xiao has a close relationship with Zhou Yang, as a newcomer, how long can she last and how long can she withstand the pressure?

30 billion!
Counting "Infernal Affairs" and the box office completed by Zhou Yang, there is still a box office task of [-] million.

Three months!
To complete the box office task of [-] million, unless there is another big hit like "Infernal Affairs", how can it be completed?

However, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" is generally believed to be waterlogged. Even if the script of "Infernal Affairs 2" is excellent, even if there is another charity marketing, it is unlikely to reach [-] million!

And not all of the Huaxia market is given to you Zhou Yang. You know, there are not too many Hollywood movies in the second half of the year. Although there are no big movies except for "Jaws", Hollywood movies will always release a few explosive movies every year. This movie, this is normal, Hollywood movies are bound to squeeze the living space of "Infernal Affairs 2".

Various factors come down...

[-] million box office mission!

How is it done?

Time continued to pass bit by bit, half an hour later...

After reading the script of "Infernal Affairs 2", Wang Shuai raised his head very satisfied. When he looked at Zhou Yang, who had been writing in the main seat, he did not speak, but put the outline of the script in his arms.

Then, the door of the conference room opened.

Feng Kai walked in excitedly: "Mr. Zhou, I have finished the filming ideas of several young directors and the types of films they are good at. They are outside now. Do you want to meet? Ah, Director Shen , Director Wang..."

Feng Kai's voice broke the peace in the conference room.

Shen Changwei nodded to Feng Kai, and when he was about to say something, he saw Zhou Yang standing up in the main seat, holding the written outline of the script.

"Let's meet now... Let's see what kind of movie they want to make, and I'll see if I can come up with a corresponding script..."

"okay."

"Director Shen, I've finished writing the outline of the script, please take a look, I'll go out and do some work."

"okay!"

Shen Changwei nodded, and then went on to the outline of the script, but saw that the name of the script was "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"...

After Zhou Yang left, he subconsciously picked up the script and read it...

At first he was careless, but then, the expression on his face suddenly changed to shock!

"Grass!"
