Zhou Yang slept for a long time, and when he woke up, he found that it was already four o'clock in the morning on January 7th.
Opening the curtains, the orange light from the street lamp entered the dark room, and Zhou Yang squinted his eyes slightly.
Then, he saw that the bun shop not far away had set up a stall, and the steam flowed up along the chandelier, gradually dissipating into the lingering night.
Looking up at the sky, the stars in the sky are looming in the hazy sky, reflecting each other's beauty.
Before you know it, the Chinese New Year is coming soon.
This year……
It went by so fast.
Zhou Yang looked at the starry sky and felt indescribable emotions for no reason.
Then, he thought about the changes in himself during this year.
I once walked alone in the trough, and also walked on the very dazzling stage in an uneasy mood, looking down at everyone in the audience...
When I meet a person, something happens, and while I learn a lot of things, his personality is also changing.
From the initial low self-esteem, paranoia, being immersed in his own world and isolating himself from the world, he gradually became confident, peaceful and slowly integrated into this bustling world, becoming a person that he could not even imagine.
Zhou Yang thought of what he saw and heard when he was in the United States, and also thought of the movie "Fatal Crisis" that he felt frustrated watching.
A series of fragmentary plots flashed through his mind, finally settling on the narrow eyes of Chinese action actor Wang Qiusheng.
The wind blew his hair, and he suddenly felt a little irritable for no reason. Then he closed the window and took a deep breath in the dark room.
"Fuck the international director!"
He cursed for the first time, and after he finished cursing, he felt much better all over.
Then I got dressed, left the room, and started running under the street lights.
………………………
“Why are there no pirated resources?”
"I found it. I have it here, but it was shot on location, intermittently. Oops, there is only a small part. It makes the viewing experience so poor..."
"Share the seeds."
"Just ten minutes..."
"..."
"Saw" caused such a big stir in Laos and the United States, so naturally the Chinese film industry also exploded.
Especially after seeing that the box office of "Saw" exceeded 25 million US dollars in five days, major Chinese movie websites went crazy and put this movie on the hot search headlines.
Movie fans are partying.
This is the first director in Chinese history to make a movie in Lao America and cause such a big sensation!
The first time in history.
They climbed over the wall and connected to the Internet. When they saw the overall evaluation of the movie "Saw" by foreign friends, they were so excited that they almost went crazy!
Their uncontrollable curiosity drove them to search for various pirated resources and download links of "Saw" on the Internet.
Piracy is rampant in China, and Du Niang is very powerful. This search really allowed them to find countless "Saw" resources, and even found some videos that were leaked during the filming...
Although some of them were filmed in the screening room with the beginning and no end, although some of them were shot in AV quality that makes people's eyes pop out and they can't understand what they are...
But they were still very excited to watch it, and they were immersed in the gloomy, dark, and bloody scene all day long.
certainly……
Some people are also searching for pirated resources of "Fatal Crisis".
Although the box office of this movie is not as good as "Saw", it is highly rated in the list of movies released in January in the United States and is even called one of the few spy blockbusters in Hollywood.
As a Hollywood blockbuster directed by a Chinese director and taking three years to shoot, netizens are naturally looking forward to this movie.
But it's a pity.
Fox seems to have protected the copyright of "Fatal Crisis" very well. There are no resources at all for the "Fatal Crisis" movie in China, only some fragmentary highlights.
In the trailer, fans saw the protagonist smoking a cigarette calmly in an exploding factory, killing enemies one after another in a cool manner...
At the same time, I also saw the Hollywood goddess Rose with her long skirt swinging, being hugged by the protagonist and jumping out of the sea of fire, looking at the protagonist infatuatedly. Under the sunset, the scene was set off extremely beautifully.
I have to say, these wonderful videos are so exciting to watch!
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Major theater chains immediately opened Chinese pre-sale tickets for "Fatal Crisis".
In just two hours, the pre-sale tickets for "Fatal Crisis" were sold out, and even the tickets for the second and third days were sold out.
"Support Chinese directors!"
"Support Director Zhao!"
"A well-deserved international director!"
"..."
Various slogans filled the Internet. Under the deliberate exaggeration of Xinghui Company and relevant departments, movie fans were enthusiastic and passionate.
……………………
The meeting of relevant departments is at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhao Sicheng got off the plane in a dusty state. After getting off the plane, countless reporters and many Chinese directors surrounded him.
Zhao Si in the crowd looked like a great hero who had experienced a fight and returned victorious. He was watched by pairs of enthusiastic eyes.
Everyone felt that he exuded a dazzling light.
When facing reporters, he smiled and kept talking about the great influence his movies had in Laos and the United States. At the same time, he promoted Chinese culture and inspired many young Laos and Americans. Finally, he announced his "
When will the premiere of "Legendary" in other countries...
The afternoon sun shone on his face, and he was tired from all the work. Although his brows looked a little tired, his energy was in good spirits. Along the way, he talked and laughed with the president of the Directors Guild, and thought about the future...
He was surrounded by people and came to the relevant departments. When he walked in, some veteran directors even took the initiative to give up important positions to him.
"Haha, Director Zhao is amazing!"
"Uncle Zhao, you are the pride of our Chinese directors, a role model, and a guide..."
"Director Zhao, in a few days we will give lessons to those brats from Yanjing and teach them how to make movies. They have been looking forward to it for a long time..."
"Director Zhao, thank you for your hard work. It's not easy!"
"Mr. Zhao, what's Fox's attitude toward us? If possible, could you also recommend it to me?"
"Director Zhao, the box office of "Fatal Crisis" is expected to explode in China. In three days, which movie in China has sold out all its advance tickets in three days? I can't watch a movie like "Hero" like this!
"
"I personally think that "Fatal Crisis" can surpass "Heroes". "Heroes" has a too narrow approach, while "Fatal Crisis" has a very broad approach..."
"..."
The meeting hasn't started yet, except for a few directors, there are all kinds of camaraderie and compliments.
These sounds were occasionally accompanied by bursts of laughter, and the laughter was mixed with Zhao Sicheng's constant waving of hands and humble expression.
The older generation is like this, you support me and I support you, while the younger generation stands aside with an attentive smile and keeps calling uncle, uncle.
The chaotic atmosphere only became a little lighter when another figure came forward.
"Hey, look, who's here? Director Zhou is here?"
"You are young and promising, haha, you are young and promising. When I first saw Director Zhou, I felt that Director Zhou was extraordinary!"
"Yes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead..."
Under the light.
Zhou Yang also saw someone greeting him cheerfully. He saw Zhou Yilin stand up with great enthusiasm, looked at him with a smile, and invited him to sit down.
Zhou Yang showed a naive smile and said hello to everyone.
Just when he was about to sit down...
"It's like the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead! Haha, isn't it just good at hype? What's so great..."
Zhou Yang heard a cold voice not far away.
Then he subconsciously looked over there, and saw a tall young man sitting next to Zhao Sicheng with an expression on his face, looking at Zhou Yang with his hands folded across his chest, his eyes filled with mockery.
"Xiao Song, shut up! You have to learn more from Director Zhou, you know! You apologize to Director Zhou quickly, haha, Director Zhou, don't take it to heart, young people will inevitably be a little angry, and they will always say something from their heart.
..." Zhao Sicheng pretended to scold the young man next to him, and then looked at Zhou Yang with a smile.
"Apologise? Do I want to apologize to him? Uncle Zhao, why should I apologize if I tell the truth?" The young man known as Xiao Song glanced at Zhou Yang with a sneer: "Isn't it just that he knows how to use dirty tricks?
What a big deal..."
"shut up!"
"Okay, okay, don't hurt your friendship. We are all Chinese directors. From now on, we will not look down when we look up. I don't think Xiao Zhou is the kind of person with a small temper. If he corrects something, he will be encouraged..." Zhou
Yilin laughed and waved his hand, stopping the farce while stopping the young director named William Song.
Zhou Yang had no other expressions, nor was he angry. He had a naive smile from beginning to end, but he remembered everyone's expressions in his heart.
Just when everyone thought this matter was about to be revealed, the door suddenly opened.
"Oh, it's quite lively today, there are so many people!" Wang Shuai, who was smoking, rarely attended the meeting of relevant departments. He frowned as soon as he walked in: "Xiao Zhou, why are you sitting here?"
"ah?"
"Don't be too low-key, go and sit over there..." Wang Shuai put the cigarette in the ashtray, and then pulled Zhou Yang and led him to Zhao Sicheng under everyone's gaze: "It's all in Hollywood
The director of the movie, you are the protagonist today..."
Zhou Yang was brought to Zhao Sicheng's side.
Then I saw Wang Shuai staring at William Song’s position.
"Director Wang!" William Song, who was quite arrogant at first, subconsciously stood up and greeted Wang Shuai.
But Wang Shuai's frown deepened, and he patted William Song on the shoulder: "Kids, everyone here today is a great director with works and reputation. What do you mean by sitting here? Go and stand aside and listen.
Let’s learn more about the advanced experiences of our predecessors..."
"Ah?" William Song was stunned for a moment when he heard these words, and then subconsciously looked at Zhao Sicheng from the corner of his eye.
Zhao Sicheng's originally smiling expression suddenly turned gloomy. He glanced at the cheerful Wang Shuai and finally laughed again: "Xiao Song, go and find a seat next to you. No matter how Director Zhou takes the photo,
It’s a fact that it’s a movie maker, but it’s number one at the box office... Director Zhou, I’m sorry, I didn’t think carefully, please sit down...”
"Oh, okay." William Song nodded, then gave up his seat, and then found a seat in the back row.
Although he was smiling, he was staring at Zhou Yang's back with extremely cold eyes.
Zhou Yang did not respond to Zhao Sicheng's words, but smiled calmly and sat next to Zhao Sicheng calmly.
Wang Shuai nodded and sat on the other side of Zhou Yang.
Today's meeting was attended by many people, including Shen Changwei, who always came to Shenlong but never saw its end.
After he arrived, he praised Zhou Yang, then said hello to the other directors, and then sat down with a smile.
"Hey, are you all here? Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, I was late, I was almost late, haha..."
At 2:58 in the afternoon, Huang Jiacheng opened the door. When he saw that he was the only one left among the directors, he burst out laughing.
After nodding slightly to Zhou Yang, he looked around again, glanced at Jiang Ge, and finally looked at William Song, who was sitting behind Zhou Yang, with a complicated expression.
"Director Huang..." After William Song saw Huang Jiacheng staring at him, he subconsciously shouted.
"Well, little friend, this meeting is for us big directors. It seems inappropriate for you to sit in this place, right?"
"???"
William Song saw Huang Jiacheng approaching two meters away, like a giant bear, walking up to him, patting him on the shoulder and frowning.
"Director Huang, I brought Xiao Song here to study!" Zhao Sicheng finally couldn't help but stood up and stared at Huang Jiacheng.
"Hey, Director Zhao, are you here too? I can't even see you if you are huddled here..." Huang Jiacheng laughed happily: "Since Director Zhao invited you here, you can just sit here, but what we are talking about today is
The content is relatively high-end, Xiao Song, since you’re here to study, why don’t you bring a laptop?”
"Director Huang, I'll bring it!"
"Who is this little notebook for? It's so disrespectful. Go to the store next door and buy a decent notebook..."
"..." William Song lowered his head, feeling anger filling his body, and his heart was twitching!
He subconsciously glanced at Zhao Sicheng again, but saw that Zhao Sicheng's expression was cold, he did not say anything, and his eyes did not mean to let him leave.
He silently glanced at the others. Directors Guild President Feng Minmin, Vice President Zhou Yilin and others no longer had smiles on their faces. Instead, they stared coldly at Huang Jiacheng. After that, he did not move in the end.
The conference room was suddenly filled with an indescribable chill and chill.
The people attending the meeting seemed to be divided into two groups without realizing it.
Huang Jiacheng was not angry when he felt the coldness directed at him, nor did he feel embarrassed. Instead, he laughed cheerfully: "Why are you all looking so tense? I just made a joke, haha, be more natural, yo, Zhang
The section chief is here, let’s have a meeting... everyone is waiting for you..."
