You made me a superstar

Chapter 507 Intimidation?
hang up the phone.

Zheng Jun looked dazed.

The experience of "American Gangster History" is very similar to the years when I won the award at the Russian Film Festival many years ago.

He was extremely honorable, but when he was about to reach the peak, he was severely poured with cold water.

The cold water froze to the bone marrow, as if it had penetrated into the depths of the soul, making people shiver.

The past ten years have been the most painful ten years.

Kong has a lot of talent, but he can only let the years pass by, watching bad movies shown in the cinema, but none of them are his own works, and even among the list of Huaxia directors, he is on the blacklist.

How many days and nights have you spent in unwillingness and pain?
He began to compromise, began to regret, and even reflected in depression for a while...

But the reality is very cruel. There are too many underappreciated people in this world, and he is just one of them, nothing more.

The sun shines on Zheng Jun's face, Zheng Jun wakes up from the memories, then puts on his clothes and hat and walks out of the room.

A Lamborghini was parked at the door.

A slim blonde in sunglasses greeted him from the cab.

He took a few more glances at the slender blonde, and then got into the co-pilot.

The other party is the person in charge of the Fox movie section, named Linda. Although she is 30 years old this year, she is quite charming in terms of figure and appearance, especially the perfume on her body, which makes Zheng Jun a little obsessed.

"Mr. Zheng Jun, you are really the best, most charming, and most talented Chinese director I have ever seen... Ever since I saw "American Gangster History", I have been shocked by your amazing knowledge. I am honored to invite you Sit in my co-pilot..."

In the car.

Linda flattered Zheng Jun. Although Zheng Jun was a little defensive, he was still a little carried away by the blow, and he was a little selfless for a while.

The beauty of Xiangche, the winner in life...

This is something that Zheng Jun can only think of in his dreams when he is at a low point.

Zheng Jun unconsciously followed Linda's rhythm and chatted with Linda. The more they chatted, the more Zheng Jun found himself lost.

Linda is very knowledgeable, especially when talking about movies, Linda can always express her own unique insights. These insights surprised Zheng Jun, and then he seemed to find a confidant, and couldn't help but start talking.

The chatting along the way was very pleasant, and the brief contact made Zheng Jun deeply involved and unable to extricate himself. Even when he arrived at the entrance of Fox Company, Zheng Jun felt his legs were soft.

like……

The dream is almost coming true.

He followed Linda up the stairs to Linda's office.

When sitting on the chair, he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. Whether it was the soothing music playing in the office, or Linda's admiring and admiring eyes, Zheng Jun felt the satisfaction of being a successful person , and even, at some point, the sense of guard on his body disappeared completely.

"We at Fox need talents, especially in 08, we had several film investment plans, all of which were more than [-] million dollars..."

Linda began to talk about Fox's plans for 08, and Zheng Jun was pleasantly surprised by every plan. The other party seemed to have hit his nails, and chatted with him about sci-fi blockbusters.

The feeling of a confidant is getting stronger and stronger, and Zheng Jun even has a desire to confide...

Talk about how many announcements you have encountered in China over the years, tell about the hard times during that time, and tell how difficult it is for yourself.

But he finally held back.

On the other hand, Linda blinked her beautiful big eyes, looked at him seriously, and when he was silent, she talked about his experiences in China over the years, and told about the film he won in Russia. Movies, express sympathy and regret from time to time, saying that some directors in Huaxia are simply "seeing but blind", "arrogant" and "covering the sky with one hand".

She knew Chinese idioms very well, and when she said it, Zheng Jun felt that his bones were a little soft.

Zheng Jun finally controlled himself and kept himself calm: "I will not leave Mr. Zhou Yang, nor will I betray my country."

"I've always felt that you need a bigger platform. If you follow Mr. Zhou Yang, you won't be able to display your talents..."

"I do not think so……"

"It's a fact. It's very difficult for Mr. Zhou Yang to survive in Hollywood. The movie "Spiderman" can't get any resources in Hollywood. At the same time, "History of American Gangsters", Mr. Zheng Jun, I'm telling you the truth Well, if "The History of the American Gangster" is an American movie, this movie will become a great classic movie in the film industry. Not only will it receive an Oscar invitation, but it will also be praised by countless people in the future. At the same time, you will There will be countless believers, and they will all look at you with adoring eyes... But unfortunately, it is not..."

Zheng Jun imagined countless scenes for a moment, his eyes were cloudy and uncertain.

I have lived at the bottom for too many years, and I have endured too many years.

He is very eager to reach the top of the film and leave his name in this era.

"It can only be screened in a small theater. Although there are many fans, it will be gradually forgotten. Some people are amazed, but soon these amazements will gradually be buried... Be buried with you, you come to Hollywood , It’s like a dream. After waking up from the dream, you are still that unknown little director... In this industry, there will be many talented directors emerging next year. You may think that you can stand out with your talent, and you will be fine when you return to China. Some, but you are no longer young... and you may not have the opportunity to return to Hollywood in this life... because the real right to speak is in the hands of us. We think classic movies are the A classic, it's an Oscar..."

Zheng Jun knew that what she said was true.

Zheng Jun's face was complicated, and his eyes were also complicated.

Seeing Zheng Jun's silence, Linda didn't continue talking, but smiled and continued talking about the conditions offered by Fox.

There is no doubt that every condition is very attractive...

"If you feel that leaving Mr. Zhou Yang is a kind of betrayal, then you are wrong. Each of us is independent and free, and no one owes anyone. As long as you come, we will fight for " "American Gangster History" has more resources, it is still a classic movie..."

"..." Zheng Jun was silent.

After seeing Zheng Jun's silence, Linda didn't say anything, but made Zheng Jun a cup of tea, giving Zheng Jun enough time to think.

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

November 22 at noon.

Zhou Yang lay down in the office for a while.

After staying up all night, people will be somewhat tired.

A knock on the door woke him up, and when he got up, he saw Zheng Jun coming out with complicated eyes.

After seeing Zheng Jun's complicated eyes, Zhou Yang came to his senses with a smile on his face: "What's wrong? Is everything going well?"

"The terms offered by the other party are very tempting, so tempting that people can't resist..." Zheng Jun forced a smile, then sat on the sofa where Zhou Yang had been lying before, and closed his eyes.

"Oh, tell me?" Zhou Yang's smile didn't change, he still looked at Zheng Jun.

In the past two years, he has experienced many things, and he is used to seeing some people come and some people leave.

These things made him feel uneasy, no matter what choice Zheng Jun made, Zhou Yang felt indifferent.

"I don't know what to say...Mr. Zhou, the treatment at Fox is really good. We Chinese people, and we have not joined the American Motion Picture Association, are doomed to be bullied and discriminated against. To a certain extent, he can help us, but in the face of such a behemoth as the eight major Hollywood film companies, there is no way he can do anything..." Zheng Jun looked up at the ceiling, and began to mutter to himself: "In these years, I have encountered many problems in China. Too many things, I used to be ambitious, ambitious, even the day before yesterday, I was full of confidence, I thought I could prove to the world that I would be a great director, but... I realized again that I might You need to bow to reality and compromise with reality..."

Zhou Yang listened.

I felt that Zheng Jun suddenly became a little decadent.

He wants to comfort.

But there was no way to comfort him for a while, and he could only look at Zheng Jun.

"Mr. Zhou, why don't we talk to Fox, Miss Linda of Fox is actually very optimistic about you, she has always wanted to talk to you... She also told me that the real person behind the scenes is actually Zhao Sicheng. The things that suppressed you were all told by Zhao Sicheng following some people, Zhao Sicheng became a lobbyist, explained your harm, and said that you disrupted Hollywood's layout of China..."

"Isn't Zhao Sicheng unable to get along in the United States? Why..."

"Someone took a fancy to Zhao Sicheng and was deeply involved with some Huaxia directors. They hoped that Zhao Sicheng could be a middleman..."

"Traitor?"

"Probably that's what it means... But Linda didn't tell me about other things. She also took the risk to tell me about these things. Now Hollywood's attitude towards you basically wants to crush you to death, um, before The "Chain Saw" incident, because of some black protests, offended another white congressman, Sergey, who has a lot of energy behind him... Anyway, I can only say so much, Linda said that if you want, she will use The relationship will keep you... and I will try my best to get you to join the directors' union, if you can change your nationality, that's the best, if you don't want to change your nationality, it doesn't matter, Mr. Zhou, what do you think about it?" Zheng Jun said After reading a lot of things, he looked at Zhou Yang.

The smile on Zhou Yang's face gradually stiffened, but his eyes looked out the window without saying a word.

"The pressure from the whole of Hollywood is coming, we can't bear it, unless "Spider-Man" can just pull an actor from the street to act... Otherwise, we have nothing to do..."

"..."

"Mr. Zhou, this is reality. Although it is cruel, we have no choice..."

"..."

Zheng Jun talked a lot, and after seeing Zhou Yang was still silent, he finally stopped talking.

"Director Zheng, if I refuse, what will you choose?" Zhou Yang looked at Zheng Jun.

Zheng Jun's eyes were uncertain, with a wry smile on his face, he lowered his head: "Are you really going to force it?"

"What do you think?"

Zheng Jun didn't answer, but heaved a long sigh and fell into a long silence.

After about ten minutes...

He raised his head and smiled harder: "It's obvious that I should leave you. This is the best choice, but I don't know what's going on, I seem a little irrational..."
