You made me a superstar

Chapter 533 I Can't Sign
After entering 08, the video store began to become more and more depressed.

Physical albums can't be sold at all. Even if it's an album by a popular singer, it can only sell [-] to [-] copies in China, and many of them are supported by fans who slap their faces to pretend to be fat.

More and more audio-visual stores have closed down, and more and more physical music manufacturers have begun to switch jobs.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this industry will be eliminated.

In addition to audio-visual stores, MP3 and MP4, which have just emerged for a few years, seem to be slowly starting to sell.

A smart phone can cover MP3, MP4 and the price is getting cheaper and cheaper. You can even buy a Polaroid phone that can watch movies and listen to music for only 700 yuan...

In such a market, these MP3s and MP4s naturally gradually disappeared from the market.

The law of this world is like this, the times always move forward.

People in this era either try their best to grasp the forefront of the era, or they are completely abandoned by the era and become losers who only remember the glory days.

In addition to many things gradually becoming obsolete, there is another exciting thing, which became the theme of the beginning of 08, and the atmosphere of the Olympic Games became more and more intense.

On Weibo, on TV, and in the front-page news of major media, one or two sentences related to the Olympics and the mysterious "Bird's Nest" are mentioned every day.

The cartoons on major TVs have also begun to tell stories around the theme of "Olympics". Regardless of whether the story is good or bad, at least the momentum is quite strong, and countless children can say a few words related to the Olympics.

But the Olympic story that touched all the netizens and children the most is the "Olympic" extra chapter in "Things About That Rabbit That Year" [The Flower Planter's First Athlete to Participate in the Olympics].

"On July 1932, 7, 29-year-old Liu Chang* arrived in Los Angeles after three weeks of rough seas. He was the only Chinese athlete in the Los Angeles Olympic Games. On the second day (July 23) ) In the afternoon, the 3th Olympic Games, Los Angeles Olympic Games will open..."

“刘长*当时华夏跑得最快的人，他在1933年创造的100米10.7秒的全国纪录保持长达25年之久。刘长*原本是要参加100米、200米和400米比赛的。遗憾的是由于经过3个星期的海上颠簸，体力受到很大的影响，最终因为体力不支，仅参加了100米和200米比赛。这两个项目的比赛也没能晋级……”

"..."

in animation.

A simple rabbit traveled across the ocean and came to Los Angeles. In the strange eyes of countless small animals, he represented the "flower grower" and participated in the Olympic Games at that time.

In that era of poverty and weakness, all the small animals had professional coaches, excellent equipment, and a strong motherland, and the rabbits that were eliminated after participating in the Olympic Games had to return to the country alone for the first time, back to the war Flying around, a flower grower whose dignity has almost been dismantled.

"Things About That Rabbit That Year" is an anime side story that became extremely popular once it was aired. In just a few days, the number of hits on this side story exceeded 1000 million!
Under "That Rabbit" Weibo, countless "tear collapses" exploded.

Time has passed!

Looking at this ever-changing era, netizens can't help but feel a sense of pride.

Who would have thought that the poor and weak Huaxia would not only stand up one day, but would even hold its own Olympic Games in the capital, warmly welcoming countless visitors from other countries... …

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

"Little Jiang, you are my favorite director. Since the first day you stepped into Xinghui, I think you are a director with great potential..."

"In fact, you have also proved yourself. You have proved that you are stronger than Zhou Yang. You have also proved that you are the best of this era. You are well-deserved No.1..."

"I know that you have had contact with people like Feng Kai. Of course, don't worry about it. I have been in this industry for so many years, and I know that some people are trying to separate people behind their backs. I won't fall for this kind of trick. Calculated..."

"but……"

"Liao Zhai Painted Skin" breaking [-] million is already a certainty.

Jiang Ge was called into the office by Li Zhongjun and chatted for a long time...

Jiang Ge had never seen Li Zhongjun with such a serious expression and such a gentle expression. He even let himself sit next to him and brewed a glass of West Lake Longjing for him.

After listening to Li Zhongjun's words, Jiang Ge couldn't help being flattered.

When the atmosphere was getting better and Jiang Ge had mixed feelings, and felt that he was about to be treated as the chief director by the company, Li Zhongjun handed Jiang Ge a contract.

"After all, I am not the only one who has the final say on the company. After the "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" became popular, there were naturally many controversies. I believe you also know that many shareholders feel that you are cheating. I will try my best to protect you and treat your future as a It is not an easy task to train Xinghui's chief director, I believe you also understand that the external pressure is huge now..."

"This is a five-year contract. Take a look at this contract. If there are no problems, you can sign it. This will be of great benefit to your future..."

Django opened the contract and looked at the terms in the contract.

The terms are not harsh on the surface. It is about not being able to make films for other companies within five years, and must make films by Xinghui. At the same time, there are some breach of contract clauses.

But when Jiang Ge saw that five years must bring the company a total box office clause of at least 50 billion yuan, Jiang Ge was stunned.

"President Li, 50 billion in five years? I can't do this..."

"I believe you can do it!"

"If it can't be done, will there be any consequences? The conditions of breach of contract here are not detailed..."

"There are no substantive consequences, we will not do anything to you."

"I can't sign..."

"What did you say?"

"I can't sign!"

Jiang Ge lowered his head, but said this sentence very firmly.

When he looked up, he saw that Li Zhongjun's smile gradually froze, and then his face gradually darkened.

He quickly changed his words: "Let me think about it again..."

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

March [-]th.

The first round of filming for "Spider-Man" has come to an end.

The budget was overrun again.

Up to now, the overall expenditure has been over 300 million RMB. Although he was prepared in his heart and tried his best to tell himself about various things, the bright red bill still made Zhou Yang break out in a cold sweat. It took tens of seconds, and after a long time of review, the calmness was restored.

The money that should be burned is still worth burning.

But this calm was broken again immediately.

"Zheng Jun's "Mine Bottom" project has started..."

"Because it's basically special effects, the budget of the movie "Mine Bottom" is higher than that of "Spider-Man", maybe more than 1000 million US dollars..."

"In China, the movie "Mine Bottom" is basically not very optimistic. Except for Zhang Genshui, who invested more than 2000 million U.S. dollars and some companies we know well invested 500 million U.S. dollars, other Investors are in a wait-and-see attitude..."

"Just now I received news from Mr. James Bond. He made a rough budget for the "Avatar" project. The budget may be [-] million U.S. dollars... Although James Bond is not worried about investment, I think [-] million U.S. dollars An astonishing number, even in Hollywood where blockbusters are raging, it is a huge sum of money, and the eight major Hollywood film companies may not invest in it..."

"Many of our projects are actually profitable, but the money we earn cannot currently support investment in "Mine Bottom" or "Avatar"..."

"The budget of The Silence of the Lambs, the budget of this movie is not high..."

"..."

The success of a series of movies made Zhou Yang's confidence inevitably inflated.

But when he heard the news of the two films "Mine Bottom" and "Avatar", Zhou Yang's swelling was suddenly brought back to its original form.

"Let's wait for "Spider-Man" to be released..."

He nodded very calmly on the surface, made a cup of tea and drank it lightly, but bursts of cold sweat broke out again behind his back.

Of course, there is another way, which is to sign a gambling agreement with some capital like other directors...

Although Zhou Yang vetoed this idea in his heart, at this moment, he still felt like a gambler. If he wins a bet, he will make a lot of money, but if he loses, he will fall into the abyss.

"it is good."

Xu Mei looked at Zhou Yang in front of her.

She felt empty in her mind.

Since filming "Spider-Man", she has been hanging on her heart. Every time "Spider-Man" overruns the budget, her heart will twitch violently.

After a brief silence, Xu Mei turned to the next page of the information.

The next page is the data of "Those Things That Rabbit That Year" under "Storm Animation".

A slight smile appeared on her face, and she told Zhou Yang about the hits and popularity of the extra episode.

"Mr. Zhou...Zhang Xiaoya, Mr. Zhang called me just now, hoping to chat with you..."

"Oh, I'll call Mr. Zhang right now..."

When Zhou Yang saw the side stories of "Things About That Rabbit That Year", he was actually quite pleasantly surprised. The script outlines of these side stories were not provided by himself, and "Storm Animation" made them entirely by himself.

Then he turned on his phone, turned to Zhang Xiaoya's number and called.

After the call was connected, the other party was very pleasantly surprised at first, and then reported the current situation of the "Storm Animation" company.

After reporting...

"Mr. Zhou, sports animations are booming recently, especially the R book. The animation "Iron Blood Slam Dunk" is very popular. We want to follow the trend and make a basketball sports animation, which is going to be a long-term animation series. , I probably made a sketch and character design, and I have already sent it to your email, please take a look at it... Actually, the character design and plot are not mature, and our team didn't know where to start..."

"..."

On the other end of the phone, there was Zhang Xiaoya's nervous voice.
