You made me a superstar

Chapter 502 A Natural Leader

A good movie can touch the emotions of the audience.

Or joy, or sadness, or despair, or full of expectations...

Let the audience follow the characters in the movie and go through a short or long journey to experience a different life.

For Charlotte Sally, "American Gangster" is such a movie.

The day after the first round of the film's premiere, Charlotte Sally walked into the screening hall as before. This time she walked into the screening hall with many familiar friends and continued to watch "American Gangster" history".

"It seems to be an old friend, sitting on a chair, telling me stories of the last century very slowly. In this story, I seem to see myself..."

"I remember that many years ago, I was secretly practicing ballet dance. By chance, I saw a bold boy. The boy's eyes were as clear as bricks... I stood like this Looking at those eyes on the dance floor, I wanted to say hello to him, to strike up a conversation, but the boy finally left..."

"Later, I looked for that figure, but in the end I couldn't find anything."

in the theater.

Charlotte Sally introduced the movie to her friends with tears in her eyes.

The companions were stunned. They never thought that Charlotte Sally, who had amazed Hollywood and time, would have such an unknown past.

The soundtrack of the movie circulated around, and the soundtrack was somewhat sad and tactful. In the soundtrack, Charlotte Sally's voice of muttering to herself gradually became lighter.

She continued to watch the movie seriously, even though she had already seen the movie once.

The bleak light of the movie shines on the eyes of the audience.

Part of the audience in the back row inevitably felt a little boring. Sometimes literary films are shot delicately, which is really hard. For those audiences who are looking for speed and excitement, it is really unbearable, but, As the plot of the movie gradually deepened, their emotions were also controlled by the movie and kept moving forward...

On the screen, those laughing and cursing characters, they can find their own shadow in every character, as if they saw their former self.

"Amazing group portrait!"

Some people couldn't help feeling emotional.

When watching "A History of American Gangsters" at first, there was a burst of laughter from the audience, but as the film gradually reached the second half, the screening hall was extremely solemn.

The audience saw the changes of class, the changes of time, human nature, and people like ants under the pressure of reality...

Every shot, every melody is amazing.

The second day's screening also came to an end...

A group of people in the front row stood up.

Then...

The thunderous applause lasted for a long time...

Zheng Jun still stayed in the corner, stood up, and burst into tears with everyone, but he was not praising this movie, but praising his experience during this period of time, and praising himself for the difficulty of these years .

【…】

September 11, evening.

No one would have imagined that a seven-hour American literary film, a film that did not perform well at the box office at its premiere and was scolded for being cumbersome throughout, would experience a shocking turnaround in word-of-mouth on the second day.

Zhou Yilin opened his mouth after reading the comments.

Especially when I saw the famous film critic Ba Liming call this "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​a "great work" on his personal social media, he was even more shocked.

He looked at each comment carefully, and then saw the crazy increase in analysis and popularity of Douban movies. His whole body felt hair standing on end, and he couldn't even believe it. He wondered if Zhou Yang hired a navy.

Of course, it is impossible to hire a sailor. Every comment, every account looks like a living person, and it is impossible for a movie rating person like Ba Liming to ruin his reputation for some money.

then……

On the second day, he walked into Xingyang Cinema.

At the premiere, the Xingyang Cinema was empty and there were no people there, but on the third day of the film's release, the entire Xingyang "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​screening hall was overcrowded.

Ok……

Among the entire Huaxia Cinemas, only Xingyang Cinemas played this movie, so it naturally formed a hunger marketing effect of more monks and less porridge.

Zhou Yilin naturally had his own internal channel, so he walked in without queuing up.

Walking into the auditorium, he found that Django was in there too.

Jiang Ge greeted Zhou Yilin awkwardly, and then sat on the chair.

From the morning, the two saw the evening.

The seven-hour movie is divided into three parts, and it really takes almost a day to watch it.

There was a period of time in between, but it miraculously did not affect the mood of the two of them watching the movie. In the last film, the two were obviously shocked by this unique film directing method.

The evening of June 11.

Zhou Yilin and Jiang Ge walked out of the screening room.

Both of them had complicated expressions on their faces.

"The script and filming are really masterpieces..."

"What's even more commendable is that the more you understand that period of American history, the more you find this movie amazing, as if you are a bystander, witnessing the changes of the years..."

"Oh my god, which director in Hollywood made such a master movie!"

"..."

Jiang Ge couldn't help admiring, and then thousands of emotions kept stirring in his heart.

There is no jealousy, because the level of understanding of the film is so different that Django can't feel jealous at all.

Zhou Yilin was silent.

He somewhat knows some inside information, but he can't say these inside information for the time being.

"The one who is really powerful is Zhou Yang..."

After getting in the car, Zhou Yilin closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

When Jiang Ge heard the word Zhou Yang again, his face turned green and purple for a while, and finally lowered his head.

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

United States.

It turned out that the ending of the director of "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​in the world can be regarded as a sad and sad figure.

Depressed and unhappy, he passed away five years after the movie hit the market.

Zhou Yang has heard about the director's story, and at the same time, when "A History of the American Gangster" premiered, he was a little pessimistic.

The movie is definitely a good movie, but it may not be accepted by the mainstream society, and it is even very likely that it will take many years before this movie will be truly revealed.

He has even prepared to hold on to the release of "A History of the American Gangster". He can last for a few days, and if he loses some money after the end, it will be regarded as a kind of encouragement to Zheng Jun.

But Zhou Yang never imagined that after the premiere of "American Gangster History" in the United States, word-of-mouth would explode.

What was even more unexpected was that the Chinese film industry, which was thought to be unaccustomed to the climate, would be a big hit for the Chinese version of "A History of the American Gangster", "Once Upon a Time in America"!
"Mr. Zhou, I really, can't describe my current mood. As expected, I... I'm so ignorant, I almost missed a great movie..."

in the office.

Xu Mei received calls from other theaters to cooperate, including some theaters in the United States.

In the sunlight, she looked at Zhou Yang who was sitting on the edge of the window sill, she couldn't be more excited, and she couldn't be more ashamed of her shallow knowledge.

"It's okay, don't blame yourself, you have done well enough, next, get busy with what you should be busy with, "Spider""

Zhou Yang really felt the surprise in his heart, but there was a faint smile on his face, looking extremely calm, as if everything was under his control.

In the past few months, Zhou Yang has become more and more likely to hide his emotions, which seems to have become an instinct.

Xu Mei nodded desperately, and left the office with excitement.

She had to carefully screen these theater contracts for cooperation, as well as the copyright cooperation agreements from various countries.

The cinema is second...

The copyright buyout intention agreement is extremely crazy.

"Director Zheng..."

"Ah, sorry."

"It's okay, Mr. Zhou is inside."

"Well, well, how many copyright cooperation companies are there now?"

"I don't know yet, I haven't sorted it out..."

"okay!"

When she walked out of the office, she happened to see Zheng Jun's figure.

Zheng Jun blushed slightly, and bumped into her, then Zheng Jun subconsciously touched his glasses, and when he asked her, he seemed to deliberately suppress the excitement, but the expectation in his eyes was hard to suppress.

After learning that Xu Mei hadn't sorted out a rough copyright cooperation agreement, Zheng Jun was inevitably a little disappointed, but in the end he smiled and knocked on the door of Zhou Yang's office.

Xu Mei stopped subconsciously.

Then I heard a burst of excitement and choking voices from the office.

After half an hour...

Xu Mei sorted out the copyright cooperation news, and when she stood up, she saw Zheng Jun walking out of the office with his head up.

She has never seen such bright eyes...

Full of confidence and ambition, like a sharp blade shining in the dark.

She subconsciously glanced at the document in Zheng Jun's hand.

The name of the file is "Mine Bottom".

Zheng Jun originally wanted to maintain his image as a director, but because he was too emotional, especially when he knew that "The History of the American Gangster" was released for three days, and film departments from ten countries came to inquire about the copyright, he finally couldn't bear it. Live excitedly.

"Zhou was always a natural leader!"
