You made me a superstar

Chapter 508 Crazy thoughts!
In general, everyone will encounter various difficulties in this life.

The higher you stand and the more conspicuous you are, the greater the difficulties you will encounter.

In a sense, this is the norm.

"Sorry, I thought about it for a long time, and finally chose Mr. Zhou..."

"This is an irrational decision, almost devastating to you, have you forgotten the lessons of the past?"

"I still remember, but I still decided to say no."

"..."

November 23st.

Linda, head of the Fox film department, looked at Zheng Jun in surprise.

Zheng Jun didn't dare to look at him. Since he walked into the office in the morning, Zheng Jun kept his head down or looked away, never making eye contact with her.

A charming smile appeared on Linda's face. After seeing Zheng Jun's resolute words, she finally flashed a trace of regret, but she didn't say anything. In the end, she just nodded: "If you are willing to come over, our Fox door is open for you at any time ..."

"Thank you."

After Zheng Jun said these two words, he turned and left the office.

Along the way, he felt countless surprised eyes and a series of whispering voices. He quickened his pace, but walked forward even faster.

In fact, his mind has always been indecisive. He is afraid that if he stops for a while, he will regret it and change his mind.

On the one hand, it is a brilliant life, on the other hand, it is the extremely tenacious persistence and some essential things in my heart. These two have been lingering in my chest, and even when I walked out of the door, a trace of regret flashed in my mind...

But he finally took a breath.

Relief flashed across his face, and then he called Zhou Yang and said these words half-jokingly: "Mr. Zhou, from now on, we may have to live a hard life..."

When he heard the sound of laughing from the other end of the phone, Zheng Jun also started to laugh.

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

Most of the actors that "Spider-Man" finally recruited have left during this period.

Some famous people were poached, some unknown people couldn't stand the tough action scenes of "Spider-Man", in fact, except for Cruise and Trent, the rest were more or less arranged Some basic skills can be practiced at first, but after practicing, people will practice running.

Most of the crew's seats were vacant...

of course……

These are not the worst. The worst thing is that Li Qiang followed the staff to find a college of higher learning in Laomei, which was to be used as the shooting location of "Spiderman". It passed, but the other party suddenly regretted it. In the end, Li Qiang could only go back to the crew and choose a school again according to Zhou Yang's request.

Laomei's tax department will also come to check the tax of "Spider-Man" every three days. In addition to the tax of "Spider-Man", it will also check some tax information of "Saw". Fortunately, Zhou Yang himself is quite meticulous about taxation. After searching for a long time, these people finally found nothing, so they could only give up with regret.

The bad news came one after another, and the newly built crew of "Spider-Man" began to fall apart, and finally all the efforts of several months were in vain.

"damn it……"

"Now they are checking "A History of the American Gangster". Although there is nothing wrong with "A History of the American Gangster", during the inspection period, this movie cannot be released normally..."

"This is trying to force us out of Los Angeles!"

"..."

Afternoon of November 23th.

Xu Mei's face became even more haggard.

He opened the door and told Zhou Yang about the company's current situation.

Being taxed twice in three days, and faced with the investigation of its movies, it is speechless that the movies are basically inspected by Zhou Yang. As for the movies released by SKY, such as "Men in Black" , For example, movies such as "Jaws" have no problems at all.

It was clearly aimed at Zhou Yang.

After Zhou Yang listened to Xu Mei's words, even though he was always very optimistic, he felt a little gloomy.

Just now, Christian also made a phone call with Zhou Yang. Christian, who has always been quite forthright, began to falter a little, and it took him a long time to say a complete sentence.

Probably the Hollywood Film Union, including the eight major film companies, are all targeting Zhou Yang. Although Christian reconciles it through his own channels, it has little effect. Instead, he got a more helpless news, unless Zhou Yang leaves Los Angeles , Leave Hollywood, otherwise such similar suppression will only become more severe.

After Zhou Yang recalled Christian's words, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and finally he closed his eyes.

It seems that "Spiderman" can't be filmed in Los Angeles, so it can only go back to China.

But filming superhero movies like "Spider-Man" in China...

Are all the Chinese people entertaining themselves when they take pictures?
When filming "Spider-Man", Zhou Yang himself had the idea of ​​bringing some Chinese culture to the people in the United States, and at least he had to correct some people's perceptions.

Otherwise, in the future, old American movies will vilify Chinese people with all kinds of squinting eyes and big villains. Isn't this disgusting and insulting?

"There's another call over there, and someone came to check on the crew..."

Xu Mei's phone rang, and after answering the phone, Xu Mei left the office very agitatedly.

The office became silent again.

Tens of thousands of thoughts flashed through Zhou Yang's mind, thinking about the plan to shoot "Spider-Man" after returning to China. After a long time, Zhou Yang's mood gradually calmed down.

He also remembered his phone number.

The call is from An Xiao...

An Xiao first asked about Zhou Yang's current situation with concern, telling Zhou Yang to rest well and not stay up late, and then vaguely said that if he really couldn't hold on in Hollywood, he could go back to China.

Of course, if you really want to make "Spider-Man", then do it, but when "Spider-Man" is released in Laomei, it will be exported to Laomei through the channel of China's export movies.

Over the years, Huaxia officials and Laomei have a relatively close relationship, not a honeymoon period, but at least the two sides are extremely harmonious, and there is no problem at all in exporting movies to each other in this way.

Zhou Yang did not reject An Xiao's proposal, and after talking about some topics, Zhou Yang hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone...

Zhou Yang stayed in the office and reflected on what he should do next.

Should I take the entire crew of "Spider-Man" back to China for filming and release it as an export after filming, or stay in Laomei and release it as an export after filming is completed.

Thinking about it, Zhou Yang looked at the book "Hollywood Road" next to the office.

The Hollywood Road is a book about the birth of Hollywood...

When he turned the first page, Zhou Yang saw some very old stories...

The laws of every state in the old United States are different. At that time, the "patent hooligan" Edson registered "movie patents. As long as he was a producer or filmmaker who made a movie, he would send thugs to collect taxes. The filmmakers were forced to pay taxes." I had no choice but to leave my hometown and choose a place where thugs could not find. At the beginning of the 90th century, Los Angeles was actually a wild land. Later, the first batch of filmmakers escaped the so-called "movie patent tax". "After coming to this place to make movies, more and more filmmakers came here one after another. Gradually, the city of Los Angeles became the film capital of the world...

After reading this story, Zhou Yang felt a flame in his heart, which could not be extinguished for a long time.

He heard a commotion outside the house.

He stood up.

When he was walking out, Zhou Yang saw the taxation department personnel coming in, and then checked Zhou Yang's company again, while Xu Mei kept dealing with these personnel.

After tossing for a long time, the tax officer finally had to leave empty-handed...

Outside the office, surrounded by a group of "Spider-Man" actors, they looked around, curious and even a little worried.

After closing the door, Xu Mei sat down and sat opposite Zhou Yang, exhausted and angry.

She has never encountered such a thing in her career.

Now that things have gotten to the point where it can't be resolved, they're going to have to get out of L.A. to clean things up a little bit, at some point.

"Mr. Zhou, let's go. Staying here for a day is a loss of time. Congressman Sergey has a lot of energy in Los Angeles, and Christian can't help it..."

"Sister Xu Mei..."

"President Zhou, what's the matter?"

"Go and find out which states in the United States have slightly lower taxes..."

"what?"

"Don't ask, you can check for me first."

"Oh well."

Xu Mei was a little puzzled, but she still nodded.

After about a few minutes, Xu Mei brought some information about Laomei's states and handed it to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang nodded after looking at it for a while, and then called Christian.

"Mr. Christian, can you contact the governors of these states in the United States? If it is convenient, can you introduce them?"

"Mr. Zhou Yang, what do you want to do?"

"I want to make a movie, or rather, I want to move over there and make a movie..."

"Ah? This..."

"I have a lot of movies, as long as I can make them, I don't think they are necessarily worse than these Hollywood movies... I just watched "Hollywood Road" and I was thinking, since Hollywood can start from nothing, then I Can……"

"..."

On the other end of the phone, Christian seemed to be overwhelmed by Zhou Yang's astonishing words, and he didn't respond for a while.

After a few minutes, he exclaimed.

"Mr. Zhou Yang, you are crazy, you don't think you can fight Hollywood, do you? Unless every next movie of yours can be as crazy as "Jaws", otherwise... it will be a waste to make movies elsewhere. No problem, but, you still give up these crazy thoughts..."
