Chapter 104 Zhou Yang's Transformation and Confession
"The tone of the movie "The Crow" has always been dark, and it is different from any movie I have ever acted in. It can be said that this is an unforgettable attempt in my career..."
"I have always felt that we all live in a small room, and movies are a window in the room. It not only allows us to see another side of the world, but also allows us to experience the joys and anger of each character.
funeral music……"
"Teacher Zhou Yang is a very respectable director, starring, and screenwriter. He is the soul of the entire crew after Mr. Wang Shuai. For example, if Mr. Wang Shuai gave "The Crow" the frame and body
If so, then Teacher Zhou Yang embellishes the soul of this movie."
"It is a very lucky thing to work with Mr. Zhou Yang on a film. He is very gentle to everyone on the crew..."
"Academic? Yes, I am indeed an academic, but I think a good actor cannot be defined. How about an academic? What about Yeluzi? How can one interpret that an actor who does a good job in a movie is a good actor...
…”
"Of course I like Teacher Zhou Yang. Not only do I like Teacher Zhou Yang, but I also particularly like Director Feng and Teacher Wang Shuai. Director Feng Kai worked with me for the second time, and it was completely different from the first time."
To be honest, hehe, when I first met Mr. Feng Kai, he always had a straight face, like this..."
"..."
Some people are born to stand in front of the stage and enjoy the spotlight.
Song Yiyi didn't dress up much, just put on a clean green dress, walked through the muddy path of Qingshui Village, and after a brief chat with Bi Funan at the entrance of the village, she walked straight towards the circle of reporters.
Go.
The sun shines on the large locust tree at the entrance of the village, revealing a hint of shade. Among the noisy reporters, her figure is like an elf dancing in the mountains, full of energy, hiding her face and giggling from time to time, which is so cute.
Hard to resist.
Zhou Yang stood not far away and looked at Song Yiyi.
He listened to her every word, memorized all the content of her answers, and kept thinking about how he should answer when faced with such a situation.
After answering almost everything, her agent Xu Lingling stood in front of her, smiled and began to answer other questions from the reporters on her behalf.
Song Yiyi walked over slowly holding up her skirt. When she saw Zhou Yang, she suddenly stopped and looked at Zhou Yang playfully.
"These reporters definitely want to stir up the romance between you and me. They keep asking how the love scene was filmed and whether the love scene happened because of it... Zhou Yang, do you want to stir up the scandal? Hehe.
"Although I have been filming movies for three years, I have not had any scandals with any actors... I still have my first kiss on screen..." She blinked at Zhou Yang, especially when she saw Zhou Yang
After that dull silence, she suddenly smiled even more happily, and her words were full of provocation.
"No, that's not good." Zhou Yang was a little embarrassed by being stared at, feeling like he was being teased, but then he shook his head, "I don't like this." A naughty person like Zhou Yang is not only serious about other things, but also serious about other things.
The same is true emotionally.
"Okay, okay, I'm teasing you, Zhou Yang. Smile, you look so pretty when you smile. Don't keep a straight face all day long. It's not an idol drama that wants you to play the cold male lead. Okay.
, it’s your turn to interview..." After Song Yiyi finished laughing, and after seeing Zhou Yang being so unresponsive, she lightly dusted the dust on her skirt, and then imitated Zhou Yang's example and said bitterly and with deep hatred.
She looked at Zhou Yang like a big sister.
"ah?"
"Go, go, don't worry, I'll take care of any problems..." When Song Yiyi saw Zhou Yang standing stupidly, she couldn't help but push Zhou Yang out.
…………………………
"Hello, Director Zhou, I would like to ask, how do you feel about Song Yiyi?"
"Hello, Director Zhou, can we have a brief interview with you? Can we talk about your past?"
"Hello, Director Zhou, I heard that "Hero" has been registered for the Cannes International Film Festival. This "The Crow"..."
"Hello, Teacher Zhou, I am Xiao Zhang, a reporter from Noon Entertainment News. I would like to ask, why don't you go see Zhang Haixia and his wife?"
"Dear Teacher Zhou, will you develop in the music industry in the future? The two songs "Meet" you wrote are now very popular. In terms of daily sales, they have surpassed Cai Lin's album more than once... The total album sales are also infinitely close. In the industry
Everyone thinks that she will surpass Cai Lin, what do you think of this?"
"..."
Zhou Yang was pushed to the front.
His hair was messy, and his whole person was like a kitten that had been stunned by a searchlight in the middle of the night. His eyes flashed with a hint of confusion for a moment.
Countless cameras and lenses covered his whole body, and the countless gazes with various emotions seemed to open up his heart and brain to see what kind of secrets were hidden inside.
However, he couldn't be said to be nervous, let alone scared.
After experiencing Berlin, the social fear in his heart has been reduced a lot, and it is not particularly difficult to deal with these reporters calmly.
However, maintaining a good mood does not mean that he can handle this interview perfectly.
The chatter of voices rushed past Zhou Yang's ears like waves.
His mind went blank.
It's a feeling of wanting to say something, but not knowing where to start.
Standing in front of the stage, I suddenly fell into awkward silence.
His silence shocked Song Yiyi who was watching carefully from behind.
She thought about many possibilities. She thought about Zhou Yang's messy answers, thought about Zhou Yang saying some irrelevant things, even thought about Zhou Yang telling the details of the scene he and she were filming, and even thought about Zhou Yang getting angry with the reporters on the spot.
…
However, she never thought that Zhou Yang would face the camera without saying a word or even showing an expression.
She suddenly began to worry...
She began to wonder if she had done something wrong by pushing Zhou Yang out.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong!
etc!
Is this guy's brain stuck on the spot?
It’s going to be bad!
Her eyes suddenly widened.
The feeling that Zhou Yang gave her was that he was the kind of person who was usually dull, not very talkative, always liked to be alone, and it was difficult to enter his world...
Once such a person does not speak in front of the camera, it is easy for him to hold back.
Time passes little by little...
Song Yiyi felt that it was getting worse and worse.
The buzzing reporters saw Zhou Yang who was silent.
Subconsciously, their voices began to slowly become quieter, and eventually the huge place became eerily quiet.
All these reporters stared blankly at the up-and-coming director who looked at everyone with an expressionless face.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but they felt that there seemed to be an invisible aura about him, which was a bit depressing and filled with an indescribable sense of chilling.
Then……
The atmosphere is getting weirder and weirder.
The reporters stared at Zhou Yang, and for a moment they felt that the atmosphere was not only cold, but also very suffocating.
“The weather is great today!”
Sudden.
Zhou Yang, who had been silent all this time, said this.
When hearing such a sentence, the reporters were stunned.
Not far away, Song Yiyi, who was sweating for Zhou Yang, almost squirted.
Then……
She looked at Zhou Yang's upright figure, looking around at each reporter, with a naive smile on her face, looking up at the sky at 45 degrees like the hero of an idol drama, as if she was brewing some feelings, this guy
He slowly looked back at the confused reporters.
"First of all, thank you very much for coming all the way. There were so many questions just now that I didn't know what to answer at once, so please give me some time so I can answer them one by one..."
"I used to think that I would be an ordinary electrician in this life."
"It was by chance or accident that I entered this industry and met some friends, and these friends were very enthusiastic to help me along the way, allowing me to shoot "Mine Bottom" very willfully according to my own ideas.
", allowing me, a person with low emotional intelligence and a stupid mouth, to appear in front of the camera and let so many people pay attention to me..."
"half year ago……"
Zhou Yang's voice was very sincere.
The reporters watched this big boy with messy hair, ragged clothes, and eyes full of complex emotions speaking a confession in front of them.
It seems to be the autobiography of a little person. In it, Zhou Yang also talked about the first time he faced a reporter and was scolded by the media.
When the reporters heard this, they unconsciously felt some sympathy in their hearts.
They have been in the entertainment industry all year round, so they naturally know the dirty things in the entertainment industry better than anyone else...
For sales, for appreciation, for profit...
Black people are called white, and white people are called black. These things are very common.
After all, this is how the world is.
But Zhou Yang's words gave people a sense of reality that they couldn't bear to interrupt for a moment. Many reporters who were pushing forward with microphones also stopped and looked at him quietly.
"After that incident, I have been afraid to come out. I was afraid that I would say something wrong, offend someone, and have a bad impact on everyone on the crew..."
"Thank you to Teacher Song Yiyi Song. If she hadn't pushed me, I might have retracted again."
"Sometimes the most difficult thing for people to face is themselves."
At the Berlin International Film Festival, Zhou Yang's acceptance speech was a form of immersing himself in a character, allowing him to walk to the stage and finish a series of words very seriously.
That time, he felt that he had done a good job.
At least, I am slowly coming out of the problem of social fear.
chaff
But now, Zhou Yang, standing in the sunshine, did not play any role.
He faced each reporter calmly, as if he were an old friend, slowly telling his current situation.
Many times, he seems to be facing himself.
While talking, he also observed the expressions of these reporters.
Some reporters laughed, with kindness in their smiles and encouraging eyes.
Some reporters listened carefully and wrote something in their hands, recording something.
Some people, on the other hand, looked at themselves with squinted eyes, seemingly full of ill intentions.
This is a picture of a living being.
In a daze, Zhou Yang felt that he had talked a lot, and there was a sense of relief between the lines.
He seemed to have slowly shed a layer of his heavy shell, breaking each of the shackles that were weighing on him, and began to feel more relaxed.
Then!
Zhou Yang accidentally saw the corner next to him...
Um?
Zhou Yang took another look and suddenly found a little girl in the group of reporters with red eyes. She was wiping tears while listening. She nodded from time to time, clenched her fists from time to time, and looked excitedly.
He seemed to be cheering for him silently.
What the hell?
Who the hell invited this actor?
Why is it the same as when the movie "Warring States" premiered?
Zhou Yang was suddenly embarrassed.
…………………………
The interview is over.
Zhou Yang didn't talk and laugh happily in front of everyone like Song Yiyi, who was calm and composed.
He answered every question one by one very quietly.
It was very decent. After the interview, Zhou Yang briefly recalled it. Although he didn't answer as beautifully as Song Yiyi, he still felt that there was nothing serious. Xu Lingling, who was next to Song Yiyi, also nodded to him.
Zhou Yang turned around and went back and found Song Yiyi
The little girl gave Zhou Yang a thumbs up and wiped her eyes with a napkin.
"Zhou Yang... I think you can give a speech."
This guy always looks like a half-dead, immersed person, like an extremely gloomy weirdo.
But just for that moment...
When I saw Zhou Yang standing in the sun, facing all the reporters, with a silly smile...
Song Yiyi felt that he was like a tragic figure who had climbed up in hell, his whole body covered with bruises, but still smiling at everyone...
Obviously this guy went to Berlin to win an award, and obviously his first movie shocked many filmmakers, okay?
However, when I heard Zhou Yang talking about his short past in a gentle voice...
The little girl felt her nose was sore on the spot.
Then……
She had some regrets.
Why didn't you meet him during his most difficult time?
"Teacher Song, please stop laughing at me. Teacher Song, you looked so good when you were in front of reporters just now..." Zhou Yang laughed.
"Where is it beautiful? Tell me?" The little girl blinked, quite curious.
"I can't tell where..." This guy thought about it for a long time and couldn't describe it. He was a little confused.
……………………
In the following period, Zhou Yang did not care much about these reporters, nor did he care about what the outside world said about him.
Perhaps it was because there were more security guards on the set, or for some other reason, but he only knew that fewer and fewer reporters were sneaking into the isolation zone to take photos, and there were also fewer and fewer people in the isolation zone.
Everyone knows that Zhou Yang can't find any useful news worth paying attention to, and Wang Shuai also controls the news about "The Crow" very strictly.
The time has come on May 10th.
In the evening of this day, after finishing filming his scene, Zhou Yang's mobile phone received a call from Huaxing Company.
After receiving it, he struggled for a long time and hesitated for a long time. He originally wanted to talk to Wang Shuai.
But Wang Shuai seems to be a little confused recently.
Before the film was finished filming, he brought in a lot of equipment, and then followed the post-production team to edit the film "The Crow" over and over again. It seemed that the Cannes Film Festival was about to start, and he wanted to sign up to go to Cannes.
He wanted to talk to Feng Kai, but Feng Kai's emotional state was not very good. After every filming, he would go for psychological counseling, and the counseling would take a long time, and sometimes he would even be busy until the evening.
Finally, he found Song Yiyi, who seemed normal in the crew.
"Teacher Song, can I have a few words with you?"
"sure."
"Teacher Song, have you been to Taiwan?"
"Nonsense, I must have been there, what's wrong?"
"Can you tell me a few things to note when going to Taiwan..."
"sure."
After Song Yiyi watched Zhou Yang take out a small notebook, she smiled and started chatting with Zhou Yang about some customs and precautions in Taiwan, especially many quiet spots.
She felt like she was a teacher in front of Zhou Yang, while Zhou Yang was more like a humble and studious student.
"Teacher Song, what about Hong Kong Island? What are the precautions for Hong Kong Island?"
"Hong Kong Island is slightly different from Taiwan Island. Which aspect should you look at..."
"Oh oh oh."
Song Yiyi continued to introduce.
After she finished speaking, she found that Zhou Yang was not relieved after she had shared a lot of local customs with Zhou Yang, but when his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, she suddenly felt strange.
Did this guy encounter something embarrassing again?
"Is there anything else you don't understand?"
"Oh, I just want to ask, is there any difference between Taiwan's Golden Melody Awards and Hong Kong's Academy Awards?" Zhou Yang looked at Song Yiyi silently.
"One is one of the most influential music awards for Chinese songs, and the other is one of the most influential film awards in the Chinese film industry. The two are not the same type of awards... If you want to ask the difference,
This should be the biggest difference, right?" Song Yiyi thought Zhou Yang's question was quite strange.
"What if these two awards are compared together?" Zhou Yang hesitated.
"How to compare? In which aspect?"
"For example, if you received invitations for these two awards, would you choose Hong Kong's Academy Awards or Taiwan's Golden Melody Awards?"
"Of course..." When Song Yiyi was about to answer, she suddenly found that she couldn't answer at all.
This question is too nonsense.
"What?" Zhou Yang stared at Song Yiyi closely, looking forward to her answer.
"Zhou Yang, why do you ask such unrealistic questions? Stop thinking about these things. We have to focus all our attention on "The Crow". This film Director Wang wants to impact Cannes in May...
"Song Yiyi felt more and more that Zhou Yang's question was quite strange. Who in the right mind would think about these messy questions inexplicably? Then she wanted to talk to Zhou Yang about the Cannes trip of "The Crow" in a serious tone...
But Zhou Yang lowered his head and fell into an unprecedented twist and entanglement.
"Teacher Song, it's not that I think about these things, but I have received invitations for both awards...and the two award ceremonies are on the same night. I really don't know what to do...I thought about it for a long time,"
"Under the Mine" won an award in Berlin. It wouldn't feel good if I didn't go to the Academy Awards. Mr. An has already hinted that "Under the Mine" will definitely win some awards, otherwise he wouldn't have personally called me to invite me there. This is very important to the company.
The publicity for the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards was very beneficial. As for the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards, Mr. Wu Zhenhong of the company has been strongly urging me to go there, saying that this time we must compete for a breath..."
"What?" Song Yiyi stared at Zhou Yang as if she had seen a ghost.
