Outside the Los Angeles Airport, many black guys stood spontaneously. Some of them held signs, some clenched their fists and shouted loudly.
…
The plane took off.
Zhou Yang looked at the darkness below, and his whole body panicked.
Fortunately, he is still alive.
There are so many guns in the United States that before boarding the plane, Zhou Yang was very worried that some irrational white guy would rush out and hit him on the head.
After all, those irrational old and American young people dare to attack children. Is there anything they can't do?
He is the first person in China to tear off the gorgeous coat of the old beauty, exposing the chaos, filth, hypocrisy, magic...
He must have touched the interests of many people, and many people are naturally angry.
Even Zhou Yang was a little nervous when he got on the plane. He was worried that the plane bound for China would suddenly crash or be hijacked.
Zheng Jun did not come back with Zhou Yang.
Christian seemed to have a special affinity with him. After returning from Oscar, Zheng Jun chatted in Christian's room all night. After chatting, Zheng Jun, who had originally planned to return to China, suddenly changed his mind and wanted to stay in Hollywood to follow.
Christian Hun, he thought this was an opportunity.
Christian is a dangerous man.
The more he comes into contact with Christian, the more Zhou Yang feels that there is an unstable, crazy, and bloodthirsty beast hidden in Christian's body.
But he couldn't persuade Zheng Jun.
Zhou Yang was sitting on the plane, looking at the white clouds on the clouds and squinting his eyes.
Although Christian repeatedly emphasized that the "Saw" incident had nothing to do with him, Zhou Yang is not a fool!
The person behind this is definitely Christian.
It was like this this time, and it was even more like this last time.
Fortunately, there was no hijacking or crash.
More than ten hours later, the plane landed smoothly at Yanjing Airport...
Zhou Yang wore sunglasses and walked out of the cabin door. As soon as he walked out of the exclusive passage, Zhou Yang saw the end of the passage surrounded by enthusiastic reporters and fans.
They stared at themselves excitedly. If this situation had not been anticipated and the airport staff had specially increased the security personnel, the order of the entire airport would have been disrupted.
Zhou Yang faced countless reporters' questions with a polite smile on his face and the content of his answers was very limited.
His eyes caught sight of a banner not far ahead, and then he was stunned for a moment.
He saw the words "Chinese Directors Association welcomes Director Zhou Yang to return to China" on the banner.
"Haha, Xiao Zhou, well done, you are really proud of our countrymen and our Chinese directors!" He saw Zhou Yilin laughingly pushing through the crowd and walking over, then patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
He narrowed his eyes.
"Director Zhou, thank you very much." Zhou Yang also smiled after seeing Zhou Yilin.
There seemed to be quite a few people from the Chinese Directors Association, but apart from Zhou Yilin, Zhou Yang didn't know any of the other directors, big or small.
Among the five generations of directors, only Zhou Yilin came over and congratulated him.
Zhou Yilin's smile was so bright that even Zhou Yang couldn't find anything wrong with his smile, as if he was sincerely blessing him.
However, he always remembered what Wang Shuai once reminded him.
Zhou Yilin is a smiling tiger.
"Hahaha." Zhou Yilin gave Zhou Yang a fierce hug. After the hug, his eyes were full of relief and emotion.
Then he touched the Oscar Best Screenplay trophy in Zhou Yang's hand, as if he wanted to soak up the nobility inside.
Reporters also took pictures of this scene immediately. Among the crowd, there were directors from the Directors Guild watching this scene excitedly.
What can I say? The future of Chinese films is just around the corner. After Shen Changwei, there is another international director in Chinese films...
Zhou Yang walked out of the airport amid countless envy and admiration.
Along the way, Zhou Yilin showed unprecedented enthusiasm, holding Zhou Yang's hand in unison, and his smile never stopped.
"Xiao Zhou!"
"Um?"
"This is an invitation letter from the China Directors Association. Xiao Zhou, on behalf of Chairman Feng and the China Film Association, I specifically invite you to join the China Film Association and invite you to serve as the vice president of the China Film Association to lead those young directors in the right direction. Go in the direction..." When passing by the corner, Zhou Yilin took out an invitation letter and handed it to Zhou Yang, with sincerity in his eyes.
"Thank you, Director Zhou, for the invitation, but I'm used to being free and loose..." Zhou Yang smiled and shook his head.
If it was when he was filming "Under the Mine" or even when he was filming "The Crow", he still had a hint of respect for the China Film Association.
pity……
After going to relevant departments for several meetings and meeting some people, Zhou Yang gradually began to resist and even resent some things in the association.
Zhou Yang seemed particularly disgusted with their ability to block everything and exclude dissidents.
In this world, stories of dragon slayers who eventually become dragons may be staged every day, and perhaps there are many people who have climbed up from the bottom, and after sitting in high positions, they begin to become the people they once hated...
But at least Zhou Yang is not one of these people.
"Xiao Zhou... I know you had a lot of trouble with some seniors in the association before, but these seniors will eventually get old one day. They are stubborn and cannot keep up with the times. This is understandable. Because of this, It is even more necessary for talented and insightful young people like you to join the association to change the current situation of the association and make the association better..." After Zhou Yilin saw Zhou Yang's expression, he did not give up and still expressed his gratitude to Zhou Yang. Doing ideological work.
"Director Zhou, I understand what you said. I will think about it seriously when I go back. Ah, Director Zhou, my car is here. I'll go there first." Zhou Yang said subconsciously after looking at the car in the distance.
"Well, okay, you should think about this..."
"OK!"
Zhou Yang always maintained a polite smile, neither offending nor accepting.
He got into the car, and after seeing countless reporters surrounding the car, the expression on his face became calmer.
"Director Feng's movie premiere is about to begin, right?"
"Yes, it has started!"
"Oh...go over there!"
………………………
On the morning of March 1st.
"Yesterday morning, at the Oscars ceremony held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, USA, Chinese director Zhou Yang lived up to expectations and won the Best Screenplay Award for "Saw", becoming the first Chinese native to win this award in the history of Chinese films. director……"
The audience stayed in front of the TV to watch the TV news.
Zhou Yang is in the news again.
Not only was it featured on Yanjing TV's morning news, but a video of Zhou Yang at the Oscars was played for about twenty seconds, and the program even highlighted the movie "Saw".
It’s unbelievable that this movie, which is full of all kinds of negative content, can still be in the news openly. What’s even more unbelievable is that this movie only took half a month to shoot, and the total investment was less than one million US dollars.
It was a low-budget movie that made it to the Oscars and even won an award...
After they saw these news, they also saw the final box office of "Saw"!
This movie, with an investment of only over 200,000 yuan, actually made an astonishing box office of 120 million US dollars worldwide, and in China, the record is even crazy!
The movie was officially released early this morning. The total box office in China exceeded 250 million yuan, breaking a new record for domestic horror films. It even surpassed the Hollywood blockbuster "Armageddon" that everyone was optimistic about during the same period.
With only RMB 280 million at the box office, the film has no choice but to be drawn!
Waves of exclamations filled the entire Chinese film industry.
Many Chinese film-makers feel inspired!
They were once very disappointed, disappointed with Chinese films, and even more disappointed with Chinese directors...
So do movie fans.
When it comes to movies made by Chinese directors, everyone's first impression is that they are bad movies, and the second impression is that they are money-making. The only good impression is probably that some Chinese movies are very hypnotic.
As for competing with Hollywood movies!
They don't even dare to think about it...
But now, they suddenly realize that Hollywood blockbusters are not as invincible as they imagined!
Many people even have endless expectations for the movie in March!
In March, domestic blockbusters include "Superman" with an investment of 200 million by emerging Chinese director Jiang Ge, "Roboman" starring the famous villain Eldo, and "Interstellar", a rival Hollywood film, directed and invested by Zhou Yilin himself.
The ambitious film "The City of Golden Armor" with a budget of nearly RMB 300 million, and the police film "Besieged City" directed by Cao Bangguo...
These domestic blockbusters are all scheduled to be released simultaneously in March.
In the Chinese film industry, they seem to have heard that the clarion call for counterattack has been blown, and a curtain is slowly opening, and behind the curtain is a brand new and splendid new era.
And Feng Kai's "Jinyiwei"?
It is not a blockbuster. Although it has been promoted, for some reason, movie fans don't seem to have any special impression of "The Golden Guard", and the pre-sale ticket sales are also average, far less crazy than "Roboman"...
…
……………………
On the afternoon of March 1st.
It's a good day for "Jinyiwei".
Premiere of "Jinyiwei".
However, the investment in this movie was less than 10 million, and there were no star casts.
Although the press conference for the premiere was full of reporters, their mood was obviously not high and they looked as if they had just completed a task.
Liu Tingting, Chen Shuangbao and others were smiling, sitting in their seats and accepting reporters' casual questions.
It's hard to believe that they are the two actors with the highest status in the movie "Jinyiwei"!
Every one of the remaining actors is a newcomer who has just graduated, and some are even "sidekicks" who have been hanging out in Hengdian all year round but have never been able to make a mark.
With such a lineup of newcomers, it’s natural that there won’t be any attention!
Feng Kai smiled.
He is very confident in his movie.
but……
The feeling of gap in my heart is still there.
Among the movies released on March 1st, Django's "Ex Machina" is definitely the craziest!
Django not only invited Andor Johnny, the assistant director of Hollywood's "Superman", but also invited a lot of big names from the "Superman" movie. The premiere was held next to the Wanda Cinema. In the Beijing Hotel!
In the morning, he happened to pass by the Yanjing Hotel, and the waves of cheers and crowded roads were filled with the enthusiasm of movie fans, which was not even inferior to the scene when "Superman" was released...
The premiere of "Jinyiwei" was simple and crude.
Just when Feng Kai felt a little disappointed...
He heard a commotion outside the house.
The noise was like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, surging and surging.
There was a commotion among the reporters in the room.
