Zhao Sicheng looked at the information report in his hand gloomily.
He can control resources, control a series of media and public opinions, and can even put some fledgling guys who disobey them into a desperate situation.
On the Internet, a large group of people have begun to boycott all of Zhou Yang's musical works, including "Girl with Wings", "Meet", "Invisible Wings"...
It seemed to be so powerful that it was crushing like a violent storm.
However, the tide of time is always rolling forward.
It is impossible for a good work to fall into a downturn because of a few words of boycott on the Internet. Capital always favors things that can bring them benefits.
Walking out of the house, on the streets and alleys, the melody of "Invisible Wings" kept echoing around everyone. The sluggish physical album market has also ushered in a second spring.
Stay at home, turn on the TV, and the advertisements you can see everywhere are "Want to download this song "Invisible Wings" as your mobile phone ringtone? For landline users, please dial: 13886... For mobile users, please dial: 1586635..."
As of the evening of October 18th, the album "Invisible Wings" had sold 200,000 physical copies, and the number of downloads of ringtones on the Internet had reached an astonishing 8 million!
Zhao Sicheng crushed the data of "Invisible Wings" into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
"Sorry, Director Zhao, we understand your emotions very well."
"I hope you can understand one thing, that is, the film industry is a matter in the film industry, and the music industry is a matter in the music circle."
"It is impossible for Hong Kong Island's Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards to ban Zhou Yang's works. This is China's most authoritative annual music list. Everything is based on sales and fans' reputation..."
"terribly sorry……"
"The reason why we delayed announcing the list is not because you greeted our leaders, but because we are considering whether "Invisible Wings" should be added to the top ten Chinese hits in Hong Kong..."
The voice on the phone echoed in Zhao Sicheng's mind.
He stared at the scraps of paper in the trash can. For the first time, he felt like he couldn't control it.
……………………
The entertainment industry is a vanity fair.
Standing in the most dazzling position, being sought after by thousands of people, receiving countless envy and screams, leading the trend of an era, turning your hands into clouds and rain!
When he just graduated, Feng Kai relied on his family's capital to enter the industry with great enthusiasm. He made several movies that he thought were good, and he felt that his future was full of splendor and glory.
However, when he really came into contact with this circle, he found that there was an invisible barrier in the film industry, which hindered him and made it difficult for him to move forward even half a minute.
Feng Kai, who once won the Best Newcomer Award in Taiwan and was about to skyrocket, suddenly found that he had no movies to make.
Not only was there no movie to be made, but after he returned, the major media reported very little about him, and he did not even create any waves in the entire industry, and no investors asked him when his next movie would be launched.
He initially thought that the Best Newcomer Award was not a great award and not worthy of any coverage.
Later gradually...
Only then did he realize that the hierarchy in this circle had been solidified.
Genius directors who are truly pushed out of the stage have a force behind them.
This force personally selects scripts for them, plans everything that happens next, and even sets up corresponding characters for them...
And those directors without background are working hard under the barrier to fight for a chance of survival...
On the main seat.
"I have only been in this circle for a year. I may not understand many things. What I will say next is just my personal superficial understanding..."
"In my opinion, the movie "Superman" is another attempt at old American movies. As early as sixty or seventy years ago, this movie had the birth of comic works. At the same time, in the comic works, they
There is a relatively complete universe view and world line, and each character has his own unique experience and story..."
"I have read through the early animation and comic works of DV Company, as well as some early comic-book movies."
"I discovered that they had been laying the groundwork for a plan very early on, and "Superman" should be a relatively important part of their plan..."
"The name of this plan should be called Superhero Project..."
"..."
The sun sets in the west.
A gust of evening wind blew through the window and hit Feng Kai.
Feng Kai felt very warm and at the same time indescribably comfortable.
It's still noisy outside the window.
The sunset turned half of the sky red. Under the sunset, the reporters surrounding Huaxing had not dispersed for a long time. Feng Kai could vaguely see the figures of these reporters jumping up and down on the edge of the wall with their cameras.
They are all waiting for a big news that will make headlines.
Feng Kai turned his head and saw Zhou Yang, the chairperson of the conference room.
The afterglow of the sunset reflected Zhou Yang's figure.
The once taciturn and humble young man faced everyone's gaze without any stage fright at this moment, but seriously began to analyze the plan behind "Superman".
Feng Kai immediately felt that Zhou Yang's words were a bit nonsense and felt that Zhou Yang was thinking too much.
He subconsciously wanted to refute Zhou Yang, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find a reason to refute.
As I listened, I became more and more frightened.
It seems that behind "Superman" there is a huge network with names such as "Superhero Movie Industry System Special Effects Blockbuster", which is covering the entire Chinese film industry.
The only sound in the conference room was Zhou Yang's voice.
Zhou Yang looked out the window and expressed all his thoughts in a precise manner.
He used to live a very pure life and never paid attention to the general trend of the film industry. He just wanted to make a living without any ideas.
Although he was not confused, he never had the time to think about other things, because those things were really far away from him. Even after he officially took control of the company, Zhou Yang still felt that things in the film industry were far away from him...
The meeting of the relevant departments a few days ago made him suddenly realize that the world of China is very complicated, and he began to think seriously about it in a real sense.
The older generation controls the lifeblood of the entire film industry...
New directors who do not belong to their faction are confused and can only succumb and endure day by day, not knowing when they will be able to make their mark.
He suddenly realized what An Xiao was going to do!
She wants to change this situation!
"This is a film industrial revolution and a culture war!"
When Zhou Yang said these words, even he felt strange.
It seems that such beautiful words and such heroic ambitions should not come out of his mouth.
Very embarrassing!
It's really embarrassing...
But the information about the two worlds in my mind seemed to completely overlap at this moment.
Similar trajectories, similar times, similar people and things...
Everything seems to be in time!
Wang Shuai, Huang Jiacheng and others listened to Zhou Yang's words silently.
Sometimes they nodded, sometimes they fell into deep thought, sometimes they smoked cigarettes silently and looked out the window, not knowing what they were thinking.
It seemed as if the future Zhou Yang was talking about was happening right before our eyes, and it was frighteningly real.
Full of sadness and despair, the feeling of cultural colonialism seems to be getting stronger and stronger.
"The Trend of the Hollywood Industrial Superhero Universe Blockbuster".
Zhang Genshui, on the other hand, became more and more confused as he listened.
Does this have anything to do with the movies he invested in?
Just tell me what you want to vote for!
…………………………
October 22nd.
Twenty minutes past eight in the morning.
"Superman" finally landed in China under the huge attention of movie fans.
The most eye-catching places of the thirty-four theaters in Huaxia, including Hualien, Wanda, and China Southern Cinemas, all have posters of "Superman". The posters use very powerful words to read "Sensation in the United States, Shocking "Incoming" are these eye-catching words.
At the same time, the overseas box office of "Superman" is also marked below the poster!
After being released for 16 days, it earned a box office of US$130 million, breaking multiple box office records for Hollywood movies. At the same time, it also broke the monopoly of "The Time Machine" in the history of world movies.
After seeing this data, many movie fans felt inexplicably excited and couldn't wait to see what this movie would be like...
Many businesses naturally saw the commercial value of this movie. Not long after its overseas premiere, they spent huge sums of money to buy the peripheral rights of "Superman" overseas!
At 8:30 in the morning on October 22nd, in order to cater to the huge popularity of "Superman", toy stalls in major shopping malls immediately put "Superman" hand toys on the shelves, and major bookstores also put them on the shelves at the same time. "Superman" movie synchronization comics...
"Holy shit, the special effects are so awesome. I felt like the plane really hit me in the cinema..."
"Yeah, it's so real. I feel like my vision has been greatly impacted. I can't describe the feeling at that time. I even feel a little suffocated..."
"My eyes never left the big screen for a moment, and I even held back my urine while watching this movie..."
"The protagonist, Chris Jeff, is just like what I remembered. He is full of justice, strong, handsome, with beautiful eyes, especially his charming muscles, which made me deeply obsessed with him."
"The imagination is so amazing. The planet where the protagonist was born at the beginning of "Superman" satisfied all my imagination about the universe and the future world. I even thought that there is such a planet in this world. How did they do it? "
"It's amazing, no wonder it got such amazing box office results!"
"..."
The first Chinese premiere of "Superman" was almost an explosion in China!
Fans who entered the cinema were shocked by the special effects on the big screen and were deeply obsessed with the epic disaster scene, especially the appearance of Superman carrying a plane to save everyone on his own. Many girls couldn't help but watch it. Scream, this is the real blockbuster...
Zhou Yang also went to the cinema to watch the "Superman" movie. The plot of this movie was somewhat different from the "Superman" in his original world, but the overall framework was not much different.
Zhou Yang, who was accustomed to seeing 3D scenes in his original world, was naturally not too shocked when he saw the 2D Superman special effects.
However, other people were completely different from him. He saw some people exclaiming among movie fans, especially the children. They shouted excitedly, waved their arms, wishing they could become Superman...
Hollywood industrial movies have had a huge impact on Chinese movie fans...
No, it has a huge impact not only on Chinese movie fans, but also on movie fans from other countries.
After the movie ends...
Zhou Yang walked out of the house and saw that the "Superman" peripheral sales stall was crowded with people.
Especially the children who had just come out from watching the movie were all rolling on the ground, clamoring for "Superman"...
After watching it for a while, Zhou Yang silently left the cinema.
Just when Zhou Yang was in complicated mood, Zhou Yang received a call from An Xiao.
"Have you watched Superman?"
"Looked at it."
"how do you feel?"
"I don't know what to say, but this movie should be just as you expected, Mr. An. It should be a hit... Hello, hello? Why is there no sound?" After Zhou Yang finished speaking, the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.
Already.
Zhou Yang thought there was no signal.
After about ten seconds, a voice appeared on the other end of the phone.
"Zhou Yang, in the young director support program, we plan to use the box office to determine the intensity of support. It is a reward system similar to the box office... What do you think?"
"I feel good."
"Are you willing to be one of the first batch of directors under the support program? The pressure may be considerable, and you may have to compete with the new directors supported by established directors..."
