You made me a superstar

Chapter 490 The Kiss

"I'm sorry, Director Zhou, I've already made a decision, and things I decide will usually not be changed."

"..."

"Director Zhou, I started from nothing. I have experienced all hardships and difficulties, and I have seen life and death. What can I not be clear about..."

"..."

"Director Zhou, don't worry!"

Early morning of October [-]th.

Zhou Yang received a call from Huaxia.

It was Zhou Yilin who called. Zhou Yilin first chatted with Zhou Yang and congratulated on the great success of the symphony concert. Then he asked Zhou Yang if he really did what he talked about in the interview. When his career reached an unprecedented height, when he could get close to the master with just a few kicks, he suddenly went to shoot the superhero movie "Spider-Man". It's Zhou Yang.

Sitting on a chair in the Vienna Royal Hotel, watching the rising sun in the distance, smiling and shaking his head.

After hearing that Zhou Yang's words were very firm, and it was useless to persuade him, the other end of the phone finally fell silent.

After a long while, I finally stopped trying to persuade him. I just changed the topic and chatted with Zhou Yang about the situation of domestic movies and the current situation of Chinese movies.

Zhou Yang listened carefully.

The current situation is very good.

The total box office of the movie "Sniper Phone Booth", which was released for 7000 days, has already exceeded [-] million. It is a matter of time before it reaches [-] million. Zhou Yilin's current status in the Chinese director circle has risen. He is already the most popular director among the five generations of directors. One of them, and "Sniper Phone Booth" has already been used as an overseas export plan movie in mid-October, and it is preparing to officially land in North America for broadcast in the second half of the month.

"The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years" was released for 3000 days. Although the box office performance is not as amazing as "Sniper Booth", it has already exceeded 5000 million. According to the current trend, breaking [-] million is not what is the problem.

The total box office of "Men in Black" has exceeded 2000 million, which is only about 1000 million away from the box office of "Pandaman".

As for "Jaws", after experiencing the frenzy of the October Golden Week, the film has been released for 20 days, and the box office has already exceeded 3000 million. Although the daily box office data has decreased to about 11 million per day, you must know that this movie has been released for a month. They didn't even reach it. Originally, everyone thought that the film's box office of one billion was the ultimate limit, but judging from the current situation, the film's box office is very likely to exceed one billion, or even reach 12 billion, [-] billion!
When talking about the box office, Zhou Yilin on the phone seemed very excited and excited.

On the other hand, Zhou Yang remained calm, without any disturbance in his heart.

At this moment, the box office data of [-] million and [-] million seems to have become a simple data and symbol.

Standing at a different height, the things I think are naturally different...

He will not be lost by these so-called honors, so the sense of glory that attracts everyone's attention, and finally sink into it. Instead, he knows more clearly what he will do next.

"Are you really not going back to China with those musicians?"

"No..."

"Then where are you going?"

"The "Spider-Man" crew..."

"Next week is the general election of the China Film Association. In this general election, Feng Minrui is very likely not to be re-elected. You really don't want to see his jokes?"

"No."

"Okay, by the way, Xiao Zhou, I think it's not easy to do things sometimes, what do you think?"

"Huh?" When Zhou Yang heard Zhou Yilin on the other end of the phone suddenly change the subject, and cautiously said this sentence with a hint of probing tone, Zhou Yang was momentarily at a loss.

Kill all?
What kills everything?
"Xiao Zhou, the people from the Huaxia Film Association, although what they do is really not human affairs, a few old guys can be regarded as a cancer of the industry, hindering the vigorous development of the industry... But even if there are mistakes, we still need many things. Xu Xutuzhi, it’s not a bad thing for them to collapse all at once, what do you think?” Zhou Yilin on the other end of the phone was still probing, and his words were more cautious than before, as if a subordinate was talking to a leader.

"Director Zhou, I'm not very clear about what you mean, can you be more clear?" Zhou Yang took a deep breath.

"Xiao Zhou, let me tell you this. Many resources in the Huaxia Film Association can actually be shared. Taking control of the Huaxia Film Association actually has many unexpected benefits..."

"Director Zhou, you want to participate in this election, and then you need to sell other people's face? Is that what you mean?" Zhou Yang felt his head grow bigger after hearing Zhou Yilin's detour. Finally couldn't bear to ask.

"It's not rough, it's not that I want to participate in this election. If other people come to power, if Chen Kai comes to power, he can't make trouble for you everywhere? After you leave China for a while, the film industry can't do it. Turned into a mess? Don't look at Chen Kai, who is suppressed now, but this person is still a bit of a backer, but let him come up..."

"Director Zhou, so what do you want to do?" Zhou Yang asked with a slight frown after listening to Zhou Yilin talking about the situation when Chen Kai and others came to the stage.

"Tell Ms. An that the box office of "Jaws" and "Men in Black" has begun to decline in mid-October, especially the attendance rate of "Men in Black" has dropped by more than half, and there are currently no other There is a vacancy for the movie, why not let Xiao Bin's gangster movie "Darkness Lurks" be released first... This movie has an investment of nearly [-] million yuan, if it drags on, Xiao Bin will not be able to stand it, everyone else has done things behind their backs , but I can use my personality to guarantee that Xiao Bin has never done it. Like Zhao Fang, the director of "Our Country", he is coerced and has no choice. By the way, there is also Zhang Liansong, the director of "The Beast"..."

"Director Zhou, didn't the producer discuss with Yuan Yuan about the film arrangement?" Zhou Yang frowned.

"But in October, I heard that in order to fill some vacancies, the relevant departments will move the Hollywood movies released in November and February to late October. An Xiao's application report has already reached Xu Kangnian... I know that An Xiao is for We've got slots for other movies so other movies can make the most of the box office over the next two months, but..."

"Director Zhou, this is what Fukushi An did... Would you like to call Fukushi An? I..."

"Aren't you guys wearing the same pair of pants? You are blowing the wind next to your pillow..."

"..."

When Zhou Yang heard this sentence, he smiled wryly.

What pillow wind, what the same pair of pants.

Zhou Yang didn't know what to say for a while, and finally he could only sigh: "We are just filmmakers, and the arrangement is up to the superiors. I am not Feng Minrui, Director Feng. No matter what, we have to be honest and do our duty. Just do your own thing..."

"ok, I get it."

Zhou Yilin on the other end of the phone was a little disappointed, and after chatting for a few more words, he hung up the phone.

Zhou Yang then looked out the window again, only to see that the rising sun outside the window was already shining on the land, full of warmth and comfort.

Finally, he looked down at his phone again.

He always reminded himself that he was a director, no matter what his relationship with An Xiao was in private, but at work, An Xiao was An Xiao, and he was himself.

There is still a sense of distance.

While Zhou Yang was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

After Zhou Yang opened the door, he saw An Xiao walking over.

"How long will it take this time?"

""Spider-Man" has been delayed for too long, at least we have to finish filming "Spider-Man" and come back."

"Oh, is the visa all right?"

"No problem, sister Xu Mei has arrangements, basically every few days will help to continue..."

"Oh."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.

An Xiao looked at Zhou Yang.

There were some ripples in his eyes, and a trace of complicated reluctance flashed briefly.

Once upon a time, the timid but stubborn boy who stood on the edge of the coal mine is now standing at the height of attention, which has amazed countless people.

But somehow, he didn't seem to have changed at all, he was still the same as before.

This time, An Xiao had a premonition that Zhou Yang would be away for a long time.

Regardless of the box office of a superhero movie, the production cost and investment are there, and the corresponding time will be consumed on the way to filming.

"The Huaxia Film Association, do you have any ideas?" An Xiao turned her head slightly and looked out the window. She kept her heart calm and prevented Zhou Yang from seeing the complex emotions in her eyes.

"No..." Zhou Yang shook his head.

"Zhou Yilin wants to be the president of the China Film Association, but Feng Minrui also wants to be re-elected...so Zhou Yilin..."

Just before An Xiao finished speaking, the phone rang.

An Xiao then glanced at the number, and answered the phone in front of Zhou Yang.

The call was from Zhou Yilin.

"Anke, actually I shouldn't have made this call, but after thinking about it for a long time, I had to make this call for Xiao Zhou..."

"..."

Zhou Yang had a weird expression.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Yilin kept talking about all kinds of disadvantages of Chen Kai, Feng Minrui and others when they were in power, and they all drew the disadvantages to him, and even said: "An Ke, Xiao Zhou's current situation We are in a special period. Behind the seemingly beautiful scene, it is actually very difficult. It is actually not easy for him to come to the present step by step. If possible, I hope to be his right-hand man... We are all for Huaxia Movies, we will not It should be with personal emotions..." or something like that.

After listening for a while, An Xiao neither agreed nor refused, but said something to deal with and hung up the phone.

The room suddenly became silent.

After a long time, An Xiao looked up at Zhou Yang again.

"Zhou Yang..."

"Ok?"

"fine……"

"Oh."

Zhou Yang nodded and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Zhou Yang..."

"Ok?"

"Close your eyes."

"what?"

"Close your eyes."

"Oh."

blah blah blah!

Zhou Yang felt his lips go numb, which was an unprecedented feeling.

"I'm waiting for you."

Then, he heard a soft voice.
