Banished to a place where birds don't poop, living a life like a savage with a trash who doesn't understand anything at all.
He was angry, had an emotional breakdown, roared, broke down, and even felt that he was not being recognized for his talent because his emotions were so low.
but!
Later gradually...
He suddenly realized something.
The person you look down on is always trying to do things that others think he can't do.
Just like grinding an iron pestle into a needle, using the stupidest methods and the most limited resources to do the most impossible things.
He once laughed at Zhou Yang and looked down on Zhou Yang from the bottom of his heart.
but now……
His mentality quietly began to change.
When did the change begin?
Did you see that the lights in Zhou Yang's room were always on all night, or did you see Zhou Yang crawling out of the mine and doing something called a joke with the hardest and most idiotic behavior?
he does not know.
He only knew that Zhou Yang had an almost "perverted" piety and seriousness towards movies...
This seriousness made him very ashamed.
He even felt that he was like the villain in novels and TV series, always hindering the progress of the protagonist...
Looking back on everything in these days.
Isn’t that what you are like?
…………………………
Leave aside the facts.
The film "Under the Mine" could have been made with only Zhou Yang and his grass-stage actors carrying the camera.
but……
It takes a long, long time to shoot.
How long exactly?
If you shoot for a year, you can always make it. If you can't shoot it in one year, then if you shoot it for two years, you can always make it, right?
Anyway, it will take a long time.
According to Zhou Yang's serious and paranoid temperament, without any guidance, it would take at least ten days to shoot a one-minute simple dialogue plot to absolute satisfaction!
How many lines of dialogue and how many scenes are there in a movie?
When the movie is finished, it's not the end.
At most it can only be a beginning.
The carefully shot content may not be fully used. If it is to be released, a series of editing must be done later, submitted for review, and finalized...
If it fails to be submitted for review, you will have to continue deleting, deleting, and modifying it. This is definitely a very difficult journey.
The "Blind Shaft" in the original world did not have so many twists and turns.
People in Mainland China don’t have to show it. After filming and editing, they directly sign up to participate in major film festivals to increase their presence.
After finishing the process, the movies will be sold in one country after another.
Don't look at the fact that many literary and artistic films do not have high box office, and are even banned at all, but their overseas copyright sales are booming, which is nourishing them.
……………………
December 5th.
The sky was overcast.
The time has reached ten o'clock in the morning.
But the crew did not start production.
Several staff members were chatting among the hills, glancing at the office not far away from time to time.
Yesterday, Zhou Yang and Feng Kai discussed the script in the office all night.
It wasn't until five o'clock in the morning that the lights in the office went out.
When someone was urinating at night, he heard someone speaking in Henan dialect that was not authentic, but sounded decent.
…
"Why are you stuck? Is the movie still going to be shot?"
"Why hasn't the crew started work yet?"
"..."
Zhang Genshui's car went up the mountain at half past ten.
These days, because he has been busy with the Good Brothers Mine next door, he is not on the set. Naturally, he has not heard about some of the disturbances in the set.
Zhou Yang is not a very talkative person.
When he went up the mountain and saw this group of people, he obviously felt that the atmosphere in the crew was a little strange.
It’s already over ten o’clock, why hasn’t the movie started filming yet?
Where is Director Zhou!
What were you going for?
What!
Are you all here in a daze?
strike?
At this time, Xu Li came over and briefly told Zhang Genshui what happened on the set.
Xu Li didn't quite understand what happened. She only knew that the director and assistant director in the crew seemed to have been discussing the script and shooting issues all night long...
It seems like the script is being changed.
After Zhang Genshui heard this, he asked someone to light a cigar for him. He nodded carelessly and with admiration: "Professionals do professional things. For movies, it's better to be serious. It's better to be serious..."
Immediately, he hugged Xu Li as if no one else was around and said, "Li, are you used to staying in the mountains? You've looked so hungry and thin in the past two days, I feel bad! Come, see what I brought you? Is this the one?
What's the name of someone who is endorsed by an international star? Oh, that Cather, um, Katharine Hepburn... It's quite expensive anyway, a small bottle costs 10,000! We are also making movies now, and we will also be international superstars in the future.
The specifications of the things used must also be improved..."
"Yeah, brother, it's so embarrassing. There are so many people, and I have no interest in cosmetics..." Xu Li's eyes suddenly popped up when she saw the cosmetics Zhang Genshui brought, but then she pulled Zhang Genshui's hand awkwardly and squirmed.
The flowers bear fruit, and they look like innocent little flowers that just ejaculated.
"Haha, don't care about them, I have prepared gifts for them." Zhang Genshui laughed loudly and waved his hands to the bodyguards to send gifts without caring, while he hugged Xu Li tighter.
……………………
After a few minutes.
The door in the office opened.
Zhou Yang put on his clothes and walked out, looking at Zhang Genshui in a daze.
He thought he had an illusion.
The boss is here?
did not expect……
"Haha, Director Zhou, thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work..."
After Zhang Genshui saw Zhou Yang, he hurriedly greeted him, took out the red envelope and stuffed it into Zhou Yang's arms.
"Mr. Zhang, this, I can't accept this..." When Zhou Yang faced the red envelope, he was a little at a loss, but then he shook his head as if he thought of something.
"You have to accept your little kindness! The conditions of the brothers in the mountains are too hard, I can see it... I am also very busy these days, and I can't take care of the situation here. If you can't bear it, just accept it.
Come on, just use it as cigarette money. It will make me feel better if you accept it..." Zhang Genshui almost smiled and narrowed his eyes. Regardless of Zhou Yang's obstruction, he kept stuffing it into Zhou Yang's pocket.
"Thank you, brother." Zhou Yang finally nodded after seeing that Zhang Genshui's enthusiasm was beyond compare.
He glanced at Zhang Genshui's bright smile.
This is a kind of trust, and it is a blind and unconditional trust.
There were complicated emotions in his heart.
My nose is a little sore.
He has always been a small person living at the bottom. Growing up, he heard the most criticism from other people's children, in class, at school, after graduation...
Even though he works hard, he always stays in a corner and does nothing worth mentioning. No one even remembers his name in his graduation photo.
There was no encouragement or comfort, as if the purpose of his birth in the world was to serve as a foil and a backdrop.
After Zhang Genshui shook hands with him, he turned to Feng Kai with a smile on his face.
But I don’t know if it’s an illusion…
When Zhang Genshui shook hands with Feng Kai, his facial expression was very stiff. He was dealing with it throughout the article. After stuffing the red envelope, he didn't say much.
His impression of Feng Kai was not very good.
I feel that this person is not very pragmatic and smells like the two liars from the past.
Zhang Genshui came here this time to comfort his Xiaoli.
Movie……
He came over to take a look.
In fact, he didn't read much of the movie's script. After getting to know the general situation of the crew, Zhang Genshui casually took a look at the completed short story...
"Well done, Director Zhou!"
"It was well shot, and it captured the hard life of our miners vividly, wonderfully, wonderfully..."
"..."
He didn’t understand the movie, but he was full of praise for it.
Halfway through, Zhang Genshui's smile suddenly stiffened, especially after seeing the yellow mine manager's attitude after encountering the incident.
His throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his eyes widened.
He couldn't believe it!
Then, his smile disappeared and he turned to look at Zhou Yang in shock.
"Zhou, Director Zhou, who wrote this script?"
"..."
"..."
He was so scared that he even stammered when he spoke.
"What's wrong? Brother Zhang, I wrote it..."
"..."
Zhang Genshui repeatedly stared at the contents of the camera.
He shook his head for a while, then fell into deep thought again.
His eyes were even more uncertain, and filled with a bit of horror, as if he had remembered something that made his scalp numb.
"Director Zhou, can you show me the script?"
"good!"
………………………
"Did you lose that money?"
"I think you should call the police!"
"What, compensation?"
"Can I get it back?"
"Forget it, I'll tell you the details later when I come down!"
"Maybe something happened!"
"..."
"..."
Half an hour later.
Zhang Genshui hurried down the mountain with his bodyguards and the script, and even Xu Li Qianqian greeted him charmingly and had no time to pay attention.
