You made me a superstar

Chapter 512 Dilemma
Delaware.

The bustling city corners are filled with stench and countless fishy smells.

In the dilapidated tent, pairs of godless eyes looked at the camera, full of confusion and helplessness.

Some children huddled in the corner, while some boldly approached the "Spider-Man" crew. After seeing the friendly faces, the children became more courageous, and even made a funny face at the staff , and then ran away laughing.

"I didn't expect to go around and go around, and finally I could only choose this piece of land. The conditions are too bad..."

Although he repeatedly reminded himself that Zhou Yang is a magical director who can turn the tables in adversity, after seeing the current situation "Spider-Man" is facing, Cruise still feels desperate.

At the same time, I have some regrets...

I regret joining the "Spider-Man" crew, and even more regret that I came to this bird place with the "Spider-Man" crew from the luxurious Hollywood.

Why did you reject the superhero movie "King Kong"?

Howard, the governor of Delaware, has no interest in the movie "Spider-Man" at all, let alone any help and support for this movie, completely leaving the movie to fend for itself.

This kind of movie is like the children who grew up in the slums not far away. Although the good social welfare in the United States prevents them from starving to death, they live in a muddle every day, like uncivilized maggots.

However, Zhou Yang didn't seem to care about these things at all.

Cruise subconsciously looked in Zhou Yang's direction. Zhou Yang asked the staff to help clean up the abandoned warehouse and old residential building not far away, and followed another wave of messages saying "Polaroid" The staff distributed some cotton clothes and food to these homeless people.

November [-]th.

It's already very cold.

Cruise really can't figure out that it has reached this point, what reason is there to shoot "Spider-Man", and at the same time, he also feels worried about his future.

"Is it possible that our acting careers started with Saw and ended with Spider-Man?"

Cruise murmured to Trent next to him.

When Trentster heard Cruise's words, he smiled wryly: "Do we still have a choice? Let's continue exercising, make a good movie, and don't think about anything else."

When the two came to Delaware with "Spider-Man", they were like boarding a thief ship and could never get off again.

After Trentster finished saying this, he followed the martial arts instructor Zhao Bo to continue to practice basic skills.

only……

I don't know why, but I always feel that I am a bit like a "lost dog".

"I still can't figure it out. Even in Delaware, there are prosperous areas. Why did you choose this place that doesn't shit as a studio? And you have to choose actors here..."

Cruise shook his head, keeping up with Tronster, feeling unbelievable.

"Who knows, anyway, whatever Mr. Zhou Yang arranges, we can do whatever we want. Now we have no choice..."

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

When the gentlemen of Great Britain set foot on the American continent for the first time and were about to starve to death, the Indians brought food to save their lives, so the gentlemen set this day as Thanksgiving, thanking the Almighty Lord for saving them, After giving thanks, they brandished butcher knives and massacred the native "barbarians", and finally officially took over this "land without owner".

When he was in New York or Los Angeles, what Zhou Yang felt was only prosperity and hustle and bustle. Even standing at the entrance of the subway, he felt crowded and prosperous.

Watching their movies, Zhou Yang saw "freedom", "democracy", "equality" and "human rights", without any trace of robbers.

But when he came to Delaware, Zhou Yang could more or less feel some traces of the Indian ethnicity. Occasionally, he saw some wandering artists who looked like Orientals and wore whips on their heads on the street. On the street, pick up the Gaina flute and play desolate and mournful music, with a roar in the voice, as if bringing people back to this continent several centuries ago.

The artist is very lonely. In this slum, everyone is living a mediocre life, and no one appreciates the music. After playing for an afternoon, there is no audience to stop and listen except for the trembling of the body.

But this wandering artist didn't move anywhere...

He performed in the same place for several days in a row. Occasionally, when Zhou Yang’s crew distributed food, the artist would say “thank you” in a strange foreign language, and then continued to play like no one else was there, as if he was completely isolated from the world. It looks very maverick.

The morning of December [-]st.

When the crew of "Spiderman" finished cleaning the warehouse and setting up the corresponding studio, Zhou Yang saw this little Indian brother again.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the river bed not far away was covered with ice, but the Indian brother was still wearing thin clothes, sitting in the slums and playing music that no one listened to, like a stubborn fighter.

"Sir, you will succeed."

Just when Zhou Yang finished listening to a song and was about to leave to cast for "Spider-Man", he heard the little brother stand up and strike up a conversation with Zhou Yang.

"Huh? You can speak English?" Zhou Yang was shocked.

In the past few days, this little brother responded to Zhou Yang with a language that Zhou Yang could not understand. After hearing the little brother speak pure English for the first time, Zhou Yang was stunned.

"I can only communicate in English, after all everyone speaks English..." The little brother looked at Zhou Yang with a helpless expression on his face.

"Oh……"

Under the sun, Zhou Yang started chatting with this little brother.

The younger brother's name is Tuka, and his personality is not as lonely and paranoid as he appears on the surface, but on the contrary he is very talkative.

However, when talking about his life experience, the younger brother's emotions inevitably produced an indescribable sense of sadness.

"A long, long time ago, I thought I was an American. I spoke English. I was very proud. I was proud of being able to live in this wonderful country. Later, when I went to school and met people, I found that many children watched We have weird eyes, they call us a minority in private..."

"Later, by accident, I heard such a piece of history..."

"We're sitting here where those people landed centuries ago..."

"..."

Tuca became more and more chatty.

He feels that Zhou Yang is different from other people in a hurry. Zhou Yang seems to like listening to stories, listening to some different stories, and in front of this Chinese person, you can easily start a conversation, and you don’t even know why. Create the illusion that he will understand and empathize.

Listening to the story Tuka told, Zhou Yang silently saw the distant street and the long river, feeling the unknown past.

Time passed little by little, and before noon, Zhou Yang saw the guana flute in Tuka's hand, and the melody of "The Last of the Mohicans" appeared in his mind.

I suddenly wanted to make a movie about those gentlemen who landed in this place around the sixteenth century...

But then, he temporarily put away his thoughts.

Now is not the time...

Declining Tuka's invitation to dinner, Zhou Yang returned to the "Spider-Man" crew, but the song "The Last of the Mohicans" has been lingering in his mind.

Then I picked up the paper and pen for the first time, and wrote most of the song. There were some things that were not smooth before, but now it feels like it's a matter of course when I write it.

After finishing writing, Zhou Yang looked at some incomplete parts of the song...

Just as I was about to think about it, I heard a knock on the door.

"Mr. Zhou, the news about the casting of "Spider-Man" has been released. A group of actors have come. Do you want to meet them in person?"

"it is good!"

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

The Hollywood group suppressed Zhou Yang extremely thoroughly.

This thoroughness even affected Will Smith and Uncle Anthony, who had already signed the contract.

They received a ban from the film union, and the company they belonged to forced them to appear in several films.

Because of the contract signed earlier, if these prohibitions are violated, they are very likely not to claim for the sky-high contract, and they can only give up in the end.

So their roles are vacated.

The crew of "Spider-Man" and the actors who followed were extremely heavy, and everyone felt that they could not see hope for the future.

However, although it is heavy, the work is still done very responsibly and conscientiously. After all, at this point, everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope, and there is really no choice but to go all the way to the dark.

The choice of "Spider-Man" is still near the most famous homeless gathering place and slum in Delaware.

There was no way, except for this area, where Zhou Yang was able to obtain the right to use a large piece of land, the other places were more or less unsatisfactory, either they could not be rented, they would not be rented, or they could not be approved.

This also includes Howard's instruction.

Governor Howard abruptly regarded Zhou Yang as a charity donation, saying that only this place can be rented for free until the end of the contract...

What else could Zhou Yang choose?
In the afternoon, there were a lot of people who came to join in the fun, basically they were either homeless, or a group of laymen who didn't even know much about movies.

Zhou Yang looked at these people with enough enthusiasm on his face.

Zhou Yang firmly believes that there are no actors who can't train well, only directors who can't train.

After all, the miner Zhao Zhen can be trained by Marie Varney to be the best actor in Venice, why can't others?

And the characters in "Spider-Man", except for some characters who are slightly more important, the rest of the characters do not have high requirements for acting skills, as long as they are selected properly, it is enough.

But when it comes to the actual audition...

Zhou Yang realized that he had made a complete mistake. Many people came here to swindle food and drink. Except for addicts who are blind-eyed, decadent, have little hope for life, and eat and wait to die, there is no one who can satisfy " Casting requirements for Spider-Man.

Until the evening, Zhou Yang couldn't find any suitable actors, not even a decent supporting role.

These people are really outrageous!
But even so, Zhou Yang still did not give up hope and waited until night.

Just when he felt that he had gotten nothing today, Zhou Yang finally found a decent actor.

And, not a...

but a batch of...
