You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 312 Infernal Affairs

   "Director Zhou..."

   "Director Zhou, hello."

   "President Zhou, hello."

   "President Zhou, the script of "The Grandmaster" is so well written, we old men have tears in their eyes, we must learn from you no matter what!"

  “…”

   Zhou Yang held several meetings.

   But in all fairness, he has a bad impression of many directors.

   They are selfish, powerful, love power, attach importance to the so-called origin, and control the film circle with only one hand...

   In fact, before he stepped into the large conference room of the relevant department, those sneering faces already appeared in his mind.

   Both sides had torn their skins last time, this time, can these people still smile at themselves?

but…

   When he walked to the conference room, he saw many people came to greet him with a smile.

   Cao Bangguo even walked over to him in person, shook hands with him, and highly praised the script of "The Grand Master".

Looking around, Zhou Yang didn't see any cynicism, only friendly and enthusiastic smiles. Zhou Yang even saw Shen Jinsong's apprentice. When Xu Yaoyang saw him approaching, he immediately stood up and personally He opened the chair for Zhou Yang and gave him enough cards.

   Zhou Yang sat in the seat, looking at the enthusiastic faces, he couldn't guess what they were thinking.

  Django walked in a few minutes after Zhou Yang sat down. He brought in a group of directors from Hong Kong Island, and laughed and talked about the cooperation plan on mainland Hong Kong Island.

   Zhou Yang vaguely heard the words "Police and Bandit Movie" when Django was introducing himself to the script of "Nightcrawler".

   After seeing Zhou Yang, Django greeted him enthusiastically.

   "Haha, Director Zhou, welcome, welcome to join this big group..."

   Zhou Yang smiled and shook hands with Django.

   The more enthusiastic Django is, the heavier the doubt in Zhou Yang's heart.

   It seems that everyone has never had any conflicts or any dissatisfaction, just like old friends who have worked together for many years.

   Feng Kai, who came in behind, was also stunned by this battle. The cold reception he imagined did not appear at all. Even Song William, who was full of feces before, greeted him with a smile, Feng Dao Feng Dao kept calling...

   He and Zhou Yang looked at each other.

   They both felt that this meeting was going to be a monster.

  Wang Shuai and Huang Jiacheng came in behind.

When Huang Jiacheng came in, both directors from Hong Kong Island and from the mainland swarmed around him, as if fans saw big stars, all kinds of flattering words made Zhou Yang stunned. Even Zhou Yilin moved the chair for Huang Jiacheng himself while laughing...

  Huang Jiacheng was also thick-skinned. He listened to these flattering remarks cheerfully, declined a little, pretended to be modest, and then sat down on the seat near the rostrum.

  Wang Shuai glanced at these smiling directors.

   "Hypocrisy."

   "The guy who is trending towards the flames!"

   He sat next to Zhou Yang and muttered softly.

   "What's the matter? Director Wang?" Zhou Yang asked subconsciously, not listening very clearly.

"No, Xiao Zhou, haha, the script of "The Grandmaster" is really good, I'm very moved when I see it... Next time when you are free, help me write a literary book. By the way, I want to make a war movie recently, Otherwise, can you help the staff officer?"

   "Ah, Director Wang is modest, I don't understand this..."

   "Don't hide your clumsiness, kid, haha!"

  “…”

  Wang Shuai turned to look at Zhou Yang, his eyes that were jealous of Huang Jiacheng's passing away instantly turned into a smile, and when he looked at Zhou Yang, he almost squinted into a seam.

   For some reason, Zhou Yang always felt the chills coming, and he felt a little uneasy.

   Half an hour later…

   The door of the conference room opened.

  An Xiao, dressed in serious business attire, came from afar to greet the directors one by one.

   The bustling conference room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the secretary who was temporarily invited to preside over the exchange meeting.

   "Zhang Ke has something to do temporarily. I will replace Zhang Ke to preside over the meeting. Today's meeting is aimed at film exchanges and cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and to deal with the upcoming opportunities and crises..."

   "A victory was fought in March, and in late April, the Hollywood blockbuster "Sevier" was released..."

   "Hollywood movies are still going strong..."

  “…”

After An Xiao finished speaking at the main seat, he took out paper and pen and handed the microphone to Feng Minrui, the president of the Huaxia Film Association. Feng Minrui did not hold the microphone after taking it, but handed it to Huang Jiacheng with a smile. , and then the directors below were booing, saying that they wanted to learn from Director Huang's advanced film experience and let Director Huang give lectures...

  Huang Jiacheng was very happy. He said some modest words. After pretending to decline, he talked about some situations encountered during the filming of "The Grandmaster"...

   Zhou Yang listened to it several times. At first, he felt that Huang Jiacheng's words were full of technical content and full of educational significance for alerting people, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was wrong, and found that almost every sentence of Huang Jiacheng was "bragging.

   And it was so fun to play, it seemed to give people a feeling of wanting to be higher than the test of the gods.

   "Cough, cough... Director Huang's filming experience is indeed worth learning and respecting, President Feng, how about... the meeting starts today?"

   After blowing for more than ten minutes, the more An Xiao listened, the more wrong he felt. Finally, taking advantage of the gap between Huang Jiacheng's speech, he began to glance at Feng Minrui, President Feng.

   President Feng nodded with a smile on his face, and then started to organize the discussion content immediately.

The    discussion session started quickly.

   In fact, the content of the discussion cannot be bypassed by Huang Jiacheng. It is nothing more than Huang Jiacheng who was blowing it himself just now, and now the group of Hong Kong Island directors are helping Huang Jiacheng to blow it...

   After about ten minutes of blowing, this was officially extended from "The Grandmaster" to Hong Kong Island movies.

   The originally cheerful and enthusiastic atmosphere began to gradually become a little gloomy.

   It is a general consensus that talent in the Hong Kong Island film industry will wither after the millennium.

   In fact, not only the film industry, but even the TV industry is facing a state where the old and the new alternate but no one is taking the lead.

Turn on the TV and play those programs, and you will find that there are those familiar faces back and forth. The young actors in their twenties who are over half a hundred years old and still wear concealer are active on the screen, appearing under the camera, The media's hype is always inseparable from the "feminine feeling", as if they are constantly telling the audience that although I am middle-aged, I am still young...

   In a sense, this is probably the sadness of an industry.

   Of course, it is also the trend of the times.

On the one hand, after the invasion of Hollywood and the huge impact on Hong Kong Island, a large number of directors and actors left Hong Kong Island to develop in Hollywood. Except for a few filmmakers from Hong Kong Island, they were stubbornly supporting and guarding the last piece of pure land. The rest of the films basically Shangdu is like a pool of stagnant water. Investors are afraid of losing a few movies.

On the other hand, China's mainland economy is gradually rising. Many people are keenly aware of the big cake of the mainland, and they have shifted their focus to the mainland while taking advantage of the heat. Investors made a lot of money.

   Such a good thing, who doesn’t want to make a fortune?

  Who will guard this place?

   However, in the Hong Kong Island film circle where talent is withered, there are still some people who are still holding on to the dream of "Oriental Hollywood", looking forward to the day when Hong Kong Island films can rise again.

   "The Grandmaster" undoubtedly gave them hope, but the film "The Grandmaster" alone is not enough, and it cannot bring back the directors and actors who have developed overseas.

The mainland side hopes to have more contact and closeness with Hong Kong Island through movies, while Hong Kong Island hopes to use official power to bring Hong Kong Island movies back to their peak and return to the era of "Oriental Hollywood". With this meeting.

  The disadvantage of not attending a professional university appeared.

   Zhou Yang listened to the discussions of some directors and confirmed the direction of the new movie, but although Zhou Yang thought some names were very high-end, he didn't understand it well.

There are no such things in the books that I have read, and no such terms in the theories I have heard. There are some English words mixed in from time to time. Zhou Yang is dizzy, and he only knows that Django is introducing his "Night Walker" on stage and is ready to invest. 100 million, and intends to invite actors from both sides of the strait to help out, if I will shoot on Hong Kong Island, etc...

  Although he didn't introduce the movie, he only said the word police and gangster movie, but a movie flashed in Zhou Yang's mind.

   "Infernal Affairs"!

   Zhou Yang can't remember the details, but Zhou Yang still knows the general context.

   Even Zhou Yang thought of the original world's evaluation of this movie.

  【Four movie kings play together on the same stage】

  【The United States and Japan are competing for remakes】

  【Rescue work】

  When Zhou Yang thought of these words, he suddenly fell into the era of renting pirated movie discs.

  This world has far less piracy than the original world, if this movie…

   "President Zhou?"

   "President Zhou?"

  “…”

   Just when Zhou Yang was thinking about the plot, he heard someone calling him.

  He looked up subconsciously, but saw Django looking at him with concern: "President Zhou, I want to invite you to be the starring role in "Night Walker", what do you think?"

"Forehead?"

  The conference room was silent for a while, and everyone was looking at Zhou Yang.

   Zhou Yang was about to speak, but was interrupted by a piercing ringtone.

   Didn't you set your phone to mute?

   The "Polari" cottage phone is very loud, just like the Charger, it beeps continuously.

   However, because the mobile phone has not been put into production for a long time, and it is a fake phone, although the function is very strong, there are always some problems. Many times the mobile phone will suddenly turn on and sing in the middle of the night.

   Zhou Yang thought he had seen a ghost several times.

  The call was from Christian.

  Not long after Zhou Yang hung up the phone...

  Christian's phone rang again.

have no choice…

   Zhou Yang could only smile awkwardly, and lowered his head to answer the phone.

   "Mr. Zhou Yang, "Struggle" is officially shortlisted in Cannes, and Cannes has also opened up a unique special award for "Struggle"!"

  Although Zhou Yang went out, in the conference room, he could vaguely hear Christian's fluent and extremely excited voice, almost roaring.

   The entire conference room suddenly became more silent.

   "President Zhou, the speakerphone on this phone is really loud..."

   Huang Jiacheng let out a slight cough, breaking the calm.
