You made me a superstar

Chapter 497 Bullying
"Spider-Man" is not favored by many people is secondary.

More importantly, whether it was an illusion or not, Zhou Yang vaguely realized that after this trip to Hollywood, Hollywood seemed to be in a state of relative rejection of him.

The media was full of bad news, and major film companies avoided it one after another. Even Hollywood's third- and fourth-tier artists seemed to have set up their plans and set their prices on the floor.

This in itself is unusual.

No matter how influential "Lizard Man" is, can it directly affect those second- and third-tier artists?

Zhou Yang is no longer the foolish idiot he was at the beginning. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Yang guessed that this was Hollywood's soft ban on him.

After all, "Chain Saw" was born out of nowhere, and as a Chinese director, he was splitting the cake in Hollywood, which naturally aroused people's envy.

"There is a directors' union in Hollywood. Mr. Zhou Yang, in fact, after joining the directors' union, there will be relatively high-quality actors."

"My personal suggestion is that you advance to the directors union, and if possible, the staff union..."

American Film Institute.

When Zhou Yang went in and explained his purpose to the school, the school leader smiled and politely made a "please" gesture.

After watching Zhou Yang come out, Ke Luo Peggy hesitated for a long time, and finally told Zhou Yang what was in her heart.

The Hollywood film circle has a clear hierarchy, and many directors have joined the directors' union. After joining the directors' union, there will be certain guarantees and protections.

The film "Chain Saw" was successfully released under the name of Christian Company, and the circumstances were special at that time, with the promotion of some behind-the-scenes forces, and all aspects were extremely accidental.

Christian is not in Los Angeles, and Zhou Yang is going to make a "superhero" movie like "Spiderman" that violates the interests of DV companies. Who would come here to make trouble?

"What are the procedures for applying to the Directors' Union?"

"I can be your recommender. Regarding the Huaxia director's application to join the directors' union, you may have to ask in detail how to do it... There was an Indian director who applied successfully before..."

"Oh……"

When Zhou Yang heard about the Directors Guild of America, he frowned unconsciously, then nodded.

The entrance of the American Film Institute.

Ke Luo Peggy took out her mobile phone and went to a secluded place to make a call.

It seemed that the phone call had been going on for a long time. Zhou Yang vaguely saw Ke Luo Peggy frowning from time to time, and occasionally glanced at him, which seemed a little unbelievable.

Zhou Yang noticed Ke Luo Peggy's eyes, and when he was about to say something, he felt someone coming from behind.

"Hello...Excuse me, are you Mr. Zhou Yang?"

"Yes, you are..."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou Yang, my name is Willis Kent, and this is my resume..."

"Ok?"

"Hello, Mr. Kent, this is..."

"I have had a dream of being an actor since I was a child, and I hope to be in your movie..."

"You graduated from a high school in California? Not a professional actor?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou Yang..."

"You haven't been in any movies before?"

"Mr. Zhou Yang, I don't think that not having participated in any movies doesn't mean that you can't make good movies...James Bunter used to be an ordinary truck driver. Who would have thought that this truck driver could become the current "Hollywood Horror" The film "King?"

"How did you find this place?"

"I originally wanted to come here to try my luck, to see if any director came here to choose actors, but I didn't expect to meet you..."

"..."

in the sun.

Zhou Yang saw a tall black-haired young man with pimples on his face. He looked very young, like a high school student, but his eyes revealed a madman-like fiery passion.

The young man introduced himself in a familiar way, and repeatedly emphasized that he did not have any acting experience.

At least when he was in junior high school, he had joined the drama club and performed in the drama club.

Zhou Yang looked at his resume seriously, and when he saw that he performed a tree in the drama club he once participated in, his expression suddenly became very exciting.

"This, this is really not a mature acting skill..."

"It's not important, what's important is that I believe I can play your movie well..."

"Do you know what movie I'm going to make?"

""Spider-Man"..." Kent didn't feel uneasy when he saw a trace of hesitation in Zhou Yang's eyes, but stared at Zhou Yang instead: "Mr. It's okay, I'm much better than them, and, Mr. Zhou Yang, I have many advantages..."

Campus entrance.

Zhou Yang watched Kent spitting wildly as he introduced himself, and after being able to feel his confidence from a distance of one meter, Zhou Yang felt a little infected unconsciously.

After briefly inquiring about Kent's intentions and brief information, and exchanging contact information, he finally nodded.

"I probably know..."

At this moment, Zhou Yang saw Ke Luo Peggy approaching not far away, with a complicated face on his face, and then glanced at Kent, frowning even deeper.

"Well, you must choose me, you can't miss me...Mr. Zhou Yang, then I will go to work first...You must consider me, this may be the most profitable business in your life..." Kent said very He turned around wisely and left, and after walking a few meters away, he turned around to remind Zhou Yang, talking about his weight in a very funny way.

Zhou Yang watched his leaving back and noticed his somewhat dirty shoes.

He seems to be very poor, and only this suit makes him look a little more dignified...

Afterwards, Zhou Yang looked away: "Mr. Peggy, what's wrong?"

"The directors' union seems to have a lot of requirements. They hope that you can pay a guarantee of 100 million US dollars every year..."

"Huh? What did you say? $100 million?"

"Yes, and at the same time, I also hope that the union will take [-]% of the movies you make every year..."

"Ten percent?" Zhou Yang was stunned, and the word "vampire" instantly appeared in his mind: "Will you all pay that much?"

Ke Luo Peggy's face was a little embarrassed, as if she stopped talking, and finally shook her head after a long while: "We don't, this is specifically targeted by the American labor union, aimed at Chinese directors..."

"..."

The [-]% share, if you take it away and make another movie, these vampire theaters will be very cheated, especially those taxes!

"Chain Saw" is a movie that has a box office of over 1000 million. In fact, the box office share that Zhou Yang has directly obtained so far is barely [-] million U.S. dollars!
Another ten percent...

Nima, I might as well give you a part-time job for nothing.

Seeing Zhou Yang's silence, Ke Luo Paige hesitated for a while: "Joining the Directors' Union will reduce or exempt the taxation of films as a whole..."

"How much can you reduce?"

"The reason why Hollywood is in Los Angeles is because the taxes are different and lower than those in other states... The birth of various labor unions is to fight for their own interests. In your Huaxia words, it is to hold together for warmth..." Ke Luo Peggy patiently explained to Zhou Yang, and sneaked a glance at Zhou Yang from the corner of the eye to see Zhou Yang's reaction.

Zhou Yang still frowned, as if he was thinking about something. After waiting for a long time, Ke Luo Peggy saw Zhou Yang shook his head: "No!"

Just after Zhou Yang finished speaking, his phone rang.

The call was from Cruise.

At first, Zhou Yang couldn't remember who Cruise was, but after connecting, he remembered Adam in "Chain Saw" played by Cruise.

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

Since Cruise and Tronster finished filming "Saw", their popularity in Hollywood has once risen to the peak of the second tier, and they are only one foot away from entering the first tier.

The feeling of becoming famous overnight is naturally very good for them, and they enjoy things that they have never enjoyed before.

They left SKY, they were addicted to luxury and money, and they were almost carried away by the countless pursuits.

During this period, I took a lot of movies...

Movies are basically restricted-rated movies, such as "Chain Saw Massacre", "Ode to Death", "Nightmare Falls" and other low-cost movies.

After filming and release, some fans came to watch it at first, but after too much homogenization, the fans gradually became tired.

It's really meaningless to act like a bird.

Recently, the two brothers have started to go downhill in Hollywood. At one time, they couldn't get any film contracts, and no company was willing to sign them to make movies.

This circle is like this...

There are too many newcomers, and if you are not good enough, someone will take over. They are younger, better than you, and cheaper than you.

You can become famous overnight, and at the same time, you can become famous very quickly, and finally disappear from everyone.

Cruise and Trent were naturally unwilling to become fringe figures in Hollywood. After much hesitation, they finally knocked on the door of SKY.

Although they all know that Hollywood seems to be in a state of soft blocking Zhou Yang's works.

When they opened the door, they saw Zhou Yang sitting in the office, and there was another tall white youth in the office.

They looked at the young Caucasian curiously, and the young Caucasian also glanced at them, and then a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Cruise, Mr. Trentster, hello, I didn't expect to see you here..."

"Hello."

After watching the white youth greet them, Cruise nodded politely as a response.

Then when the two sat down, they chatted with Zhou Yang about the experiences of these days, including telling Zhou Yang that they intend to participate in the production of "Spider-Man".

Facing their arrival...

Zhou Yang didn't feel surprised, nor did he feel much joy, he just chatted with the two about the general plot of "Spider-Man".

Before they chatted for a long time, he heard a knock on the door, and then Will Smith walked in with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Zhou Yang, I heard that you are looking for an actor for "Spider-Man"? Do you think I can do it?"

"Mr. Smith, are you interested in Spider-Man?"

"I've always been interested in superhero movies, why didn't you call me?"

"The investment is not much, maybe the whole movie is not as high as your salary..."

"I don't need a salary, I only get a share!"

"Ok?"

Before Zhou Yang could respond to Will Smith, there was another knock on the office door.

When Zhou Yang turned his head, he found that it was a girl.

"Mr. Miao, why are you here?"

"Hee hee, Zhou Yang, we, Xingyang, are going to open theaters together in Laomei, I will definitely come over, oh, there are so many people..."

Miao Miao walked in with a smile, and after seeing a group of people, she greeted everyone politely, and after finishing the call, she took out an agreement and handed it to Zhou Yang: "This is my plan, wait for you to get busy." It's over, are you looking at it? I won't bother you for now..."
