You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 337 Those Years

   May 2nd.

evening.

   Zhou Yang sat alone on a chair in the office, watching the shooting plan of "Infernal Affairs" over and over again.

The    plan is very detailed.

   However, Zhou Yang always felt that something was missing.

   "The Art of Getting Started with Film" once said that film is an art composed of sound and picture.

  The "Introduction to Film" in the textbook for the elective course of the Directing Department of Yenching University has a detailed introduction to film art.

A truly classic movie, it should not only make ordinary audiences addicted to the plot of the movie, and at the same time be immersed in the scene, but also allow thoughtful audiences to interpret through the story in the movie that the creator wants to present the movie What an intuitive feeling.

  How to be immersive depends on the rhythm of the film, the appeal of the story, the soundtrack that renders the scene, and the performance of the actors.

   These things are indispensable.

  The evening wind blew on Zhou Yang's face, he closed the shooting plan, then came to the window sill and closed his eyes, like an old monk in meditation.

   He was reminiscing.

   recalled all the information about "Infernal Affairs" in his memory as much as possible.

  The infernal way is the eternal hell, which comes from the nineteenth volume of the "Nirvana Sutra": "The Buddha said: Suffering from eternal life will never die, and longevity is a great calamity in the eternal hell."

   When I first saw the title of "Infernal Affairs", Zhou Yang thought it was a ghost movie.

The flaming flames did not bring warmth and light, but slowly sank into the abyss against the cold and dark background of the endless hell. The strange soundtrack was like the mysterious call of the other side, looping back and forth in the ear, and adding the dominant tone of black, Makes the movie more intriguing.

   Zhou Yang, a student, clenched the handle of the chair subconsciously after watching the film, and his hair stood on end involuntarily, for fear that in the dark and hazy world, something terrifying would jump out and cause a cardiac arrest.

   After many years, looking back now, he can still feel the sense of immersive horror in the depths of his memory.

   However, this movie is not a horror movie after all.

   The screen flips one by one.

   There were bursts of chants echoing in his ears.

  The melody is soft and sad, as if something is gradually going away, until it disappears.

   That is the melody of "Goodbye Police".

   In the depths of his memory, the pictures were looming with melody. He wanted to see clearly, or wanted to make the pictures clearer, but he couldn't see clearly.

   Immediately there was a burst of indescribable exhaustion, and when he opened his eyes, he inevitably sighed.

   He knew that his thinking had reached its limit.

   Just as he was finishing packing, he heard a knock on the door.

   "Mr. Zhou, the plane ticket to Hong Kong Island has been bought. Team Leader Li Qiang found a shooting scene on Hong Kong Island. I don't know if it meets your requirements. I hope you will go and see it yourself."

"it is good!"

   "Mr. Zhou, do we just forget about it?"

   "What's the matter?"

   "The Departed Walker over there..."

   "If the crew is missing anyone, they will turn around and help me let out the wind, saying that the cast of "Infernal Affairs" will audition two days later..."

"OK."

   "By the way, the supervisor invites you to have a cup of coffee. The time is tomorrow morning. Are you free?"

"All right."

   "Okay, I'll reply to the supervisor."

"Um."

  After Xu Mei left.

   Zhou Yang packed his things and returned to his chair.

   Then, his phone rang.

  The phone number was an unfamiliar American number, and the English greeting on the phone seemed familiar. After hesitating for a while, he finally realized who that person was.

   Then, I felt very surprised!

   James Bond is on the other end of the phone.

   "Dear Mr. Zhou Yang, I plan to shoot "Jaws"!"

   "Congratulations, Mr. James."

   "Haha, by the way, have you received the payment for the script? I sent someone to your company account!"

   "Huh? I haven't seen it yet..."

"Haha, Mr. Zhou Yang, I'm calling this time to invite you to be the guidance consultant for "Jaws"... Are you interested in coming to Martha's Vineyard to sunbathe? I have a lot of beautiful girls here, and they are very kind to you. Interested, I believe that you will definitely "hang around" when you come here, haha..."

  Martha's Vineyard was the filming location for Jaws.

   When he parted with James Bunt, he once mentioned it to Zhou Yang, but he didn't expect James Bunt to be an actionist. In a few days, the whole movie was ready for shooting.

   He called Zhou Yang this time to invite Zhou Yang to be the scene consultant of "Jaws". When he learned that Zhou Yang was also shooting a movie, and he really couldn't find time, James Bond instantly felt very regretful.

Of course, it's a pity. When James Bond confirmed that Zhou Yang could not join the "Jaws" crew as a consultant, he changed another way. Like an old friend, he continued to chat with Zhou Yang about movies and chatting. Zhou Yang suddenly remembered that some parts of "Infernal Affairs" seem to render the scene, and this is what James Bond is good at, so he asked James Bond some questions about the atmosphere of the movie...

   It was a chat at first, but later, James Bond was basically saying that Zhou Yang was studying.

   I wrote a lot of things in the notebook in my hand.

  …………………………

  Hong Kong Island.

   SPPD Cafe.

   Guan Tong seems to like the kind of quiet place with strong piano flavor.

The crew of "The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years" has been set. It was originally planned to be set on Taiwan Island, but when he heard that Zhou Yang's "Infernal Affairs" seemed to be shooting on Hong Kong Island, Guan Tong temporarily replaced it with Hong Kong Island, and about ten minutes away from the filming location of "Infernal Affairs".

   The investor was dissatisfied, and hoped that Guan Tong would give him an explanation on the phone, but Guan Tong was not used to him, and kicked him without saying a word.

   There is no shortage of those millions of investments.

  The sound of piano music filled the air, Guan Tong was sitting opposite Zhou Yang in a long black dress, looking intellectual and elegant.

   In this movie circle that is worth tens of millions and hundreds of millions, "The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years" is really a low-budget movie.

  The total investment is only about 10 million.

   Guan Tong personally invested 3 million. After kicking away the investors, Huaxing invested the remaining 7 million.

Although Zhou Yang didn't know how much box office the film would have in the future, he liked the script very much. After finalizing the investment contract in the coffee shop and stamping it, Guan Tong didn't seem to want to leave, but pushed it. Pushing on his black-rimmed glasses, he looked up and down at Zhou Yang, a smile flashed across his face.

   "Mr. Zhou... I know you are good at writing songs, and I want you to write a theme song for the movie."

"Forehead."

   Zhou Yang was a little stunned after seeing the expression on Guan Tong's face.

   "I want the movie to show a kind of regret, a feeling of dreaming back to youth..." Guan Tong began to tell Zhou Yang the feeling she wanted the movie to show.

  An infectious movie, in addition to the plot itself is good enough to infect people, the background soundtrack is definitely a plus.

   After listening to Guan Tong, Zhou Yang fell into a trance for a while, and after a while he showed a smile.

   "Do you have a pen and paper?"

   "You have?"

   "Write and read."

  ……………………

   "Hong Kong Island Entertainment Weekly" editor-in-chief Zheng Dayong was investigated.

   I heard that some old cases were involved, and even human lives were involved.

   But it is rare that there is not much coverage on Weibo, and even the media in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan have not disclosed this matter.

   Even [Zhou Yang's Love Exposure], which had become "explosive" or "boiled", suddenly disappeared overnight.

   seems to be deliberately downplaying something.

   In the chaotic era before the return of Hong Kong Island, there were already a lot of missing people, and many things could not be dug deeply. If one were to excavate, most of Hong Kong Island would be shaken, which would definitely be detrimental to the peace and stability of Hong Kong Island.

  Django didn't know what was going on, what the truth was, he only felt chills.

certainly……

   has a hint of instinctive disdain.

  The world is always unfair.

   Just as Django thinks that Zhou Yang is lucky to be a rich woman, but he needs talent, talent, and looks, but he is not favored by such a rich woman.

   And this rich woman is very likely to be in charge of the movie in the future.

   There is jealousy, anxiety, and envy of nature.

   "You're ready, you'll meet John Williams with me later..."

   "John Williams is..."

  Django's phone rang, and Cao Bangguo called.

   After hearing the content of Cao Bangguo's phone call, Django was stunned for a while. He only felt that he had heard of this fame before, but he couldn't remember anything for a while.

   "Hollywood's top soundtrack master, who participated in the soundtrack of "Superman", "Jurassic", "Paradise Cinema"..."

   "God! Uncle Cao, can you invite such a character?"

   "I had a chat in Cannes before..."

   "Oh, thank you Uncle Cao!"

"Thank you, it's the king to make a good classic, and this matter is still uncertain. When you meet John Williams, talk to him about the core of the movie "Dark Walker" as much as possible. Art Above sublimation, he has always been interested in good movies, by the way, he likes coffee and piano music, you can find a better coffee shop on Hong Kong Island..."

"Ok, I know."

no doubt.

   "Nightcrawler" is joined by Hollywood soundtrack masters like John Williams, and it can definitely become an international film with a high level of force.

   The afternoon sun shines through the window.

  Django had a big smile watching the cast and behind-the-scenes roster of Nightcrawler.

   Then, he put away his smile, carefully analyzed the content of "Night Walker", and grasped the core of the key points and sublimated parts of the movie.

   He will use his talent and language ability to impress John Williams, the Hollywood soundtrack master.

   Two hours later...

  Django came to the door of SPPD Cafe.

   As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the cafe, he saw a commercial vehicle parked.

   Then...

   He saw Cao Bangguo and John Williams walked down from the commercial car.

   He suddenly felt a little nervous.

   It was the first time he had come into contact with a big man of this level.

   It's really a vicious circle, it's getting late, and I don't even know what to say sorry for today, this author is too annoying...
