You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 474 Rebellion

  The directors of the older generation in Huaxia have talents except that they are a little smaller in heart, a little more confident, and less eye-catching.

   Putting aside the tinted glasses, after watching "Our Country", Zhou Yang unconsciously fell into a very long thought.

   This is a story about the ignorance of the late Qing Dynasty and the rise of the new culture, the numb life of the commoners.

   Smoking opium, the country is not a country, and the people are insensitive.

Especially when countless Western powers rushed into the "Yuanyuan Garden" to burn, kill and smash, smashing cultural relics into pieces in front of everyone's eyes, and the Chinese people onlookers stood outside the Yuanyuan Garden as if they were watching a big show Usually looking at Si, I didn't feel any humiliation at all, but the scene of clapping and applauding made Zhou Yang feel that he was slapped **** the face.

Whether it is the original world or this world, all told Zhou Yang that that period of history was humiliating, the people lived in dire straits, and the Qing government was corrupt, but there was no text that really told everyone that the original period was What is the state of the people and the people, let alone any movie that dares to make such a film.

   At first, Zhou Yang felt that "Our Country" was a bit distorted in history, but when he really found out that period of history, especially after the period of history at the beginning of the century, Zhou Yang discovered the real history, which is actually like this.

The Qing government was weak and incompetent, and when the people were living in dire straits, they still lived a luxurious and jewel-like life. Even at the beginning of 1900, the coalition forces invaded China again. People in Beijing, Tianjing and other places don’t ask questions, which is tantamount to verifying the so-called “people in troubled times are ants, and survival is a thief”.

  【I opened up the history and checked it out. This history has no chronology, and the words 'benevolence, righteousness and morality' are written on each slanted leaf. I couldn't sleep horizontally and vertically, and after reading it carefully in the middle of the night, I could see the words in the cracks. The whole book was written with two words "cannibalism". 】

   Zhou Yang suddenly thought of such a sentence.

  After watching "Our Country", Zhou Yang's heart gradually became so gloomy.

  The film is one of the best films in the main theme that Zhou Yang has seen, whether it is from the capture of the lens, from the narrative technique, or from the structure of the overall script.

but…

  This movie is too dark, so dark that after watching it for a long time, Zhou Yang still felt like something was choked in his throat and couldn't spit it out.

   "Xiao Zhou, how do you feel after watching the movie?"

   "Too depressing, box office, hard to say..."

   "The main theme movies are mostly like this."

  “…”

   Zhou Yilin's phone rang not long after Zhou Yang had read it.

After    Zhou Yang answered the phone, he unconsciously looked out the window.

   The movie "Our Country" will be released on National Day, not to mention the box office results, but it is sure to be a disappointment.

  It's a big festival, everyone is so happy, they are shooting all kinds of comedies and singing praises to movies, and suddenly there is such a depressing theme, and fans will probably feel very uncomfortable after watching it.

  This movie is so cruel!

  ………………

   October 3rd.

   Zhao put it in the cinema and watched "The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years".

When    walked out of the cinema, he noticed that the fans were mixed.

   There were moments of wiping tears, regrets, and feelings of youth, and some fans even took out their mobile phones and dialed the number that they had never dared to call before.

  This movie is not a youth movie, but more like a documentary, recording the growth of a generation, accompanied by the changes of the times, and the difficulties faced by adults.

   Guan Tong is very attentive when casting roles. They are all young actors who are young. At the same time, you can easily feel a sense of substitution among these actors.

   That's who I used to be...

   "Director Zhao, "Men in Black" has exceeded 600 million at the box office!"

"How many?"

"It has broken through 600 million, the number of people in the National Day stalls is increasing, and major group companies have also opened several theaters in major counties, which makes the movie "Men in Black" a small explosion... Xingyang There are quite a lot of films for "Men in Black" in theaters, and more than 20% of the films are still lined up..."

  “…”

   Zhou Yilin's voice came over the phone.

   After hearing Zhou Yilin's voice, Zhao Fang felt a strong sense of complexity in his heart, but then he regained his calm.

   The movie "Men in Black" is a Hollywood movie, and it has nothing to do with him to the extent that Hollywood movies can explode at the box office.

   He is only a very small part of this great era, if he really wants to say, he is a witness.

   The box office of "Sniper Phone Booth" on the second day was about 30 million...

   is higher than the premiere box office...

   "The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years" premiered at 20 million.

   is even higher than the predicted box office.

   Not to mention the two films "Jaws" and "Men in Black", one is still at 40 million at the box office, and the other is released for nearly a month. The box office has a small explosion, and the box office has officially exceeded 100 million!

   Looking at these box office, Zhao Fang was inevitably disappointed.

   He didn't walk out of theaters, but saw another movie that premiered today.

  This movie is produced by DV Company, and Starlight represents the superhero movie "Lizardman" released in China.

  Because it controls the distribution rights, Xinghui naturally relies on this movie. Except for Xingyang Cinema, which is not authorized to show, the rest of the theaters are authorized to show.

   He took the ticket and walked into the No. 2 3DMAX theater. After crowding for a long time, he finally found his seat.

  Superhero movies, almost every one is a shocking visual experience, it is difficult for young fans to resist such a shocking movie.

   Not long after he sat down, he heard the phone ring again.

   The phone number was still Zhou Yilin's number. After asking which theater he was in, Zhou Yilin also squeezed in and sat next to Zhao Fang.

   Zhou Yilin's reputation in the Huaxia Film Association is actually quite good. He smiles at everyone, and is born with an affinity, which makes people feel good.

"Other theaters have to make way for "Lizardman". You know, Hollywood movies are definitely money printing machines. I only got 3% of the film layout for your "Our Country", and the filming time is just around the corner. tomorrow…"

   "Oh, thank you Director Zhou." Although Zhao Fang was disappointed, he was still very grateful to Zhou Yilin.

   Zhou Yilin has been busy in the past few days, and he can see the appearance of running in and out for his "Our Country".

   This incident in the association made him understand that many people in the association actually used his people and movies as a tool, and the few people above were not really good for him.

   But the appearance of Zhou Yilin gave him a little bit of warmth, and he leaned towards him unconsciously.

   "Don't be too busy to thank you, although I got very few films in other theaters, but at Xingyang, I got you about fifteen films..."

   "Xingyang..." When he heard the name, Zhao Fang instinctively felt a little bit of resistance. The name Xingyang was almost identical to Zhou Yang's faction.

  He, a member of the Huaxia Film Association, took the movie and put it on Xingyang for release, especially in this big environment, which in a sense was equivalent to betrayal.

"What age is it, and I'm still thinking about that old school of thought! We are directors, we should be pure as directors, and not involve a series of disputes of interests, besides, the capital behind you sees your "Our Country" Can I let you go if it’s not released for a long time? Do you still want to invest in your next movie?”

"but…"

   "Feng Minrui, don't worry, I have already said it, the important thing is that the movie can be released... After the release, I will help you apply for box office subsidies. The box office of these main theme movies is still stuck..."

   "Director Zhou, this, will this be very difficult, after all, the relevant departments are not talking about our films at the meeting..."

"Difficulty is of course embarrassing, but I can't just watch it... Hey, I actually understand Feng Director and Chen Kai, Director Chen, but isn't the situation better than people now? We bow to the situation, this is not a betrayal, Otherwise, what do you think?"

   in the theater.

   The Lizardman premiere begins.

   Below the theater.

   Zhou Yilin followed Zhao Fang very patiently and chatted about the future situation of the film industry, about the internal disputes of the China Film Association, and then talked about the general environment.

   Zhao Fang listened and finally lowered his head.

   "But, I have licensed the movie to Xinghui..."

   "Can't you jointly authorize? You are not like Cao Bangguo who worked for Xinghui, and authorized all the copyrights to Xinghui..."

"This…"

   "Old Zhao, we have known each other for so many years. You know who I am Zhou Yilin. Some people say I am a smiling tiger, but I will not harm you!"

   "Director Zhou, Xingyang is willing to arrange so many films, and in the case that all Huaxing films are popular, there must be some conditions, right?"

"Have!"

   "What conditions?"

   "The box office share is a little bit more..."

   "How much?"

"It used to be 55 to 5. This time, Xingyang asked for 37, you 3, they 7, but I'm going to say whatever, I finally divided this into 4.5 and 5.5, you 4.5 , they're five-five..."

  “…”

"Old Zhao, listen to me, don't worry about it, you are no better than Shen Jinsong and the others. Shen Jinsong put it bluntly and has something to do with the top, and he shares the same pants with Lao Feng. Unless it is really treasonous, this turmoil will not affect them, don't Seeing that Chen Kai is being laughed at by people and ridiculed by the group, but he is still handsome and won't touch him, but what about you?"

  “…”

   "People always have to bow their heads for the situation. I know you are a film artist, but you are a real person living in reality."

  “…”
