You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 192 Unstoppable!

   October 2006 was the most shocking year for the entire Chinese film industry.

   "Superman" swept the whole of China with superb special effects and almost invincible posture. In just nine days, it hit a box office of 140,000 yuan, making all filmmakers exclaim "the wolf is coming".

   But the bosses of Huaxia Cinemas made a lot of money and laughed.

  November 1st.

   They summed up the box office receipts in October, and they were surprised to find that the money earned in the second half of October was almost equal to the whole of September.

Moreover, as the popularity gradually fermented, the revenue of "Superman" was far from declining. After the tenth day of its release, the box office revenue of "Superman" still maintained an astonishing figure of more than 10 million yuan. During the weekend, this data even reached 10 million yuan. The exaggerated 17 million has left many experts in China stunned.

   They don't know where the limit of "Superman" is, let alone how perverted this movie can reach!

Just when all the media were focusing on the amazing results of "Superman", "Huaxia Film News" maintained a consistent sobriety with an article "Where is the future of China Film?" To suppress the misery of those Chinese movies...

   The box office of the three Chinese movies, "The Future Can Be Expected", "Blossoming Pinellia" and "Dark Gun", is only 5 million!

   After seeing this data, many people feel sad...

   "This is the irony of an industry, but also the tragedy of an era..."

The article    "Huaxia Film News" was written very pessimistically, but at the same time it was written very sharply, so sharp that some readers felt a little angry after reading it.

  Three movies, 5 million box office in ten days!

   does sound ironic, but after really digging into the irony, everyone feels that a dark cloud is shrouded in it.

   The relevant departments of Huaxia have a clear regulation for the Huaxia Cinema, which stipulates that any overseas movie must be released in the same period, and Huaxia movies must account for more than 10% of the films!

   This regulation was made by the relevant departments specifically to protect the interests of Chinese filmmakers and prevent overseas blockbusters from permeating the whole of China. The principle is the same as that of the domestic film protection month.

but……

There are policies and measures to counter.

   Seeing that "Superman" is so awesome, many directors deliberately changed the schedule for the sake of their own film interests, and under some legal operations, pushed many low-cost films to the forefront.

The theater chain is also very sensible, and naturally cooperated to change the show time of these low-cost movies to the underworld time when there were not many audiences watching, um, it was either midnight or dinner time, and these directors were not well-known. , and there is not much publicity, so naturally these movies have all become cannon fodder under the game.

  The theater chain will draw a movie almost every three days because of the box office, and then release another movie when the movie is drawn, just like watching flowers on a horse.

  5 million box office in ten days.

   Seems absurd, but actually makes sense…

  Some movies are destined to be victims of the great era, aren't they?

   This article from "Huaxia Film News" is very in-depth. It deeply analyzes the original pursuit of interests and the sadness of the social status quo, which is very depressing.

   "Are these movies really bad?"

   The end of the Huaxia Film News issued such a question.

   However, there are only questions, but no answers.

  On the Internet, you can hardly find information about these movies, and even if you do, there are only a few introductions.

   "These films are made by talented directors who have no background..."

   "They smashed the pot and sold iron, exhausted their efforts to shoot such a work, and look forward to proving themselves in this circle."

   "But unfortunately became a victim."

   "I don't want to criticize what this era is all about, I just feel sad."

   "I always feel that this world is unfair. Some people fail once, and they sprinkle water like a drizzle, while some people fail once, but they will never recover and never have a chance to turn over..."

   "Reality is cruel and depressing..."

   "I'm the lucky one here..."

   "Jin Yiwei" Feng Kai said these words bluntly when interviewed by the media. After speaking, his heart was very heavy.

   He revealed the truth.

   However, his interview did not cause much of a stir, not even a splash.

   "Erdogan has confirmed to join China's cutting-edge director Django's new movie "Mechanical Man", "Mechanical Man" will try Hollywood special effects for the first time"

   "The blockbuster Chinese sci-fi blockbuster "Mechanical Man" was officially announced for filming, directed by Django: This is a film that combines Chinese and Western

   "The Mechanic" launch press conference announced heavy news: this film will go overseas and become the pride of Chinese films."

  …

  November 1st.

  The major social platforms and news pages are full of various information about "Mechanical Man"...

   There was even a special feature for up-and-coming director Django on the movie channel that night.

"I dare not say that I hope to carry Huaxia movies, but I will take every step and make every movie well. "Mechanical Man" is the first sci-fi movie for our Chinese people, and it is also the first one to knock on the door of Chinese movies. Movies!" The up-and-coming director Django spoke confidently and confidently under the camera, expressing his high spirits to the fullest...

   After seeing this news, Feng Kai was so angry that he almost smashed the TV.

  November 2nd!

   When another message appeared on the homepage of Weibo and exploded the screen, Feng Kai's anger instantly turned into excitement!

   Zhou Yang, who kept a low profile for more than ten days, once again bombarded the public media!

   "Hong Kong Island's Top Ten Golden Songs Awards Ceremony will be officially held on October 4th!"

   "Hong Kong Island's Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards is a first for Zhou Yang, and "Invisible Wings" is officially shortlisted!"

   "Five songs! Zhou Yang's five songs are all shortlisted for Hong Kong Island's Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards!"

   "270,000! "Invisible Wings" officially broke the latest record in five years, and the physical album sparked a boom again!"

  “…”

  ……………………

Hong Kong Island's Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards is the oldest award ceremony. It has been held 27 times since 1978. The early famous stars Luo Hao, Ye Tang, Guan Jieli, Zhang Guohong, Wang Quan, Ye Minxian, etc. A person later became the eldest brother and eldest sister of the music world.

  In the 1980s and 1990s, it created a glorious era of three kings fighting for hegemony!

  This award plays a pivotal role in the Chinese music scene. With the maintenance of the veteran singers, the authority and impartiality once became the first of the Chinese music awards!

Although the Hong Kong music scene has become lonely after the millennium, and the Taiwan Island Golden Melody Awards have begun to compete for the Mainland Golden Melody Awards, this award has not been eliminated, but has become a holy place for many new singers. The singers who come out every year are still in the music scene. It's a fight!

  November 2nd!

   With the album "Invisible Wings" breaking the record, Zhou Yang's name shook the entire Chinese music scene.

  His resume makes many people crazy!

   In more than a year, he wrote five songs, each of which was a hit, and the top five songs on the charts were all occupied by Zhou Yang!

   Affected by the Internet, the physical album market, which has become extremely decadent, has appeared in the next spring. This is something that all musicians in Huaxia never dreamed of.

  Even, it can be said that Zhou Yang almost single-handedly saved the physical album!

   Behind each shocking data, there are invisible trends surging.

   And the Hong Kong Island Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony pushed this trend to the extreme...

  November 2 at noon.

   "Why are you shortlisted for this song? Isn't the top ten hits on Hong Kong Island the most authoritative? Is this authoritative?"

   "Have you contacted Xiangjiang?"

   "I've contacted, these people are old-fashioned, and our people can't play any role there... This kind of arrogant person has gained so much popularity now, and his tail is still up in the sky?"

   "That's it, don't be too impetuous, he just wrote some songs, that's all..."

   "I can't take this breath, this guy, what kind of **** is he, he's shameless, no, I have to do some more moves."

   "Alright, alright, calm down, the sales volume is solid, and if people continue to operate, I guess there will be opinions from above, and it's not good to spread the word about such a suppression of a young man..."

  “…”

The    craze is surging.

   And the old directors who appeared at the meeting of the relevant departments were in a bad mood.

   Zhou Yang moved their cake, and they hated Zhou Yang as a "non-staff figure"...

   They tried to suppress Zhou Yang.

but……

  Music is not their domain after all. They have unimaginable energy in the Chinese film circle, but in the music world it is another world that they cannot touch.

  Tea Room.

  The gentle and quaint music is accompanied by the incense curling around...

   Zhao Sicheng has a gloomy face, looking at Zhou Yang, who is getting more and more popular on the computer, his emotions are mixed.

   Cao Bangguo was drinking tea calmly and looked at Zhao Sicheng lightly.

   After this silence lasted for a few seconds, Zhao Sicheng's phone rang.

   Zhao Sicheng suppressed his emotions and picked up the phone calmly.

"Hey?"

   "The reward system of the Young Director Support Program is determined based on the box office share?"

   "I'm fine..."

   "Huh? The support plan, Zhou Yang is also in it?"

"Okay, I know."

   Zhao Sicheng, who was in a bad mood, glanced at Cao Bangguo after hearing the call.

   "Director Cao, what do you think?"

   "It's better to fight...otherwise there will be people above who will not be convinced and think that Django is inferior to Zhou Yang, hehe."

"it is good!"

  …………………………

  November 3rd.

   "Very good! Not bad, Xiao Zhou, how are you?"

"fine……"

   "Ten days of hard work!"

"fine."

   When Zhou Yang got up on the ground and broke into a cold sweat from the pain, his role in "The Grand Master" was finally finished!

   Huang Jiacheng handed Zhou Yang a towel.

   Zhou Yang wiped the wound on his body and moved his body, feeling like his body was falling apart.

   He looked at the bruises on his face, as well as the blue and purple face...

   He suddenly realized something...

   Why do I want to go to the Hong Kong Top Ten Golden Melody Awards ceremony like this?

   But if you don't go...

  No, this is a rare highlight moment for Huaxing in the entertainment company. Song Qianqian and Jiang Shushu both went, and they had the opportunity to take the stage to accept the award. How can I not go?
