Chapter two hundred and seventy fourth private apology
The box office performance of "City of Golden Armor" has cast a layer of gloom over the entire Chinese film industry!
18 million box office.
It's not bad, it's higher than "Superman", and it can definitely be regarded as the ceiling of domestic costume war movies.
Zhou Yilin spent many days and nights to make everything about this movie the best it can be.
pity……
What he faced was "Interstellar", a Star Wars movie that made all movie fans exclaim, and some even said it was a Star Wars movie that ushered in a new era of science fiction films.
The dazzling future weapons, the imaginative ghost planet, the race war scenes that make people gasp and hold their breath, etc., these directly amazed a lot of movie fans...
Hollywood science fiction director Spiel Bodo is really good at telling stories, and the future world he outlines is really too real.
Even after the movie ends and leaves the screening room, many movie fans are still immersed in the huge visual impact, looking at the real world, and feeling a sense of loss for no reason.
Early morning on March 24th.
The new issue of Time Magazine from Laos and the United States even features the film director of "Interstellar", Spiel Bodo, on the cover. In the cover, director Spear Bodo has a smile on his face, and a red prologue begins. In the prologue,
It is a Hollywood classic and a science fiction movie with cross-era significance.
The last movie in the prologue is Interstellar!
No one could have imagined that "The Golden Armor", which had high hopes, would encounter such a movie. What's even more unexpected is that after encountering such a movie, Zhou Yilin's various scandals and various resistance voices were like bombs.
It exploded and was sucked into the whirlpool of anger and darkness, which made the movie "A City of Golden Armor" even worse.
Three o'clock in the morning.
In the office, Zhou Yilin's cell phone still kept ringing.
Many directors from the Chinese Directors Association called him, and their words were nothing more than scolding Zhou Yang. Even Cao Bangguo, Jiang Ge, Shen Jinsong and others had already criticized Zhou Yang on Weibo!
The content of the rant is also very simple.
Why did they publish this series of false and false information at the most critical moment of "Golden Armor"? They even labeled Zhou Yang as a treacherous villain, and severely condemned Zhou Yang from the highest moral point.
The general meaning is that if something comes up, we can't sit down and discuss it carefully, otherwise we will have to fight to the death...
Most of the directors of the Chinese Directors Association quit Zhou Yilin and condemned Zhou Yang!
However, Zhou Yilin fell into silence for a long time.
He looked at the night sky in the early morning, at the moon that was gradually setting, and at this world of lights and lights, and he squinted his eyes for the first time.
"Director Zhou, do we want to say something on Weibo? To clarify, or... Director Zhou, I have asked Xu Xiaoming to make it clear. He can stand up in front of the public and clarify that all this was at the instigation of Zhou Yang.
His, specially fabricated evidence..." The assistant watched Zhou Yilin remain silent, then walked over, his eyes full of coldness.
Zhou Yilin was still staring at the night sky outside the window in silence.
At this moment, his emotions were extremely complicated. The box office performance of "The Golden Armor" and the uncontrollable public opinion on the Internet were in his mind.
I don't know how much time passed before he suddenly laughed.
The smile was very weird.
The assistant stared blankly at Zhou Yilin's smile, suddenly feeling inexplicably afraid.
"But I have done all these things!" He suddenly said this.
"Director Zhou..."
"Is it good for me to break up with Zhou Yang?" Zhou Yilin narrowed his eyes.
"But at least..." The assistant wanted to speak again.
"Please contact Zhou Yang for me. I want to apologize privately. Let's be frank and say everything you can..."
"This..." The assistant was shocked.
He was stunned for a long time.
He thought about many possibilities and thought that Zhou Yilin would propose many plans, but he never dreamed that Zhou Yilin would suddenly say this.
Zhou Yilin's eyes were deep: "Unless someone can be completely crushed to death, so that he will never be able to turn around in his life, otherwise...it will only hurt both sides, but it will only fulfill the wishes of those who are behind the trouble, and it will make foreign movies cheaper..."
Zhou Yilin said these words silently.
after all!
The domination of Hollywood movies still exists.
……………………
"'Kardashian's Day Off' did take up the original schedule of 'The Bottom'. I told Chairman Charlotte Celie..."
"The movie "Warring States" is very important to me. I infiltrated my film ideas over the years into this movie. Although it seems to have gone astray now, at the time I was blind and desperately wanted to prove this.
The value of the movie…”
"In fact, this movie is indeed one of the few failures in my career as a director. I have been famous for too long and have been in a high position. I don't know when I started to gradually lose my passion for movies.
With a sincere heart, I just want to rely on art and film masters..."
"I'm sorry about Xu Xiaoming's matter. I didn't intend to be biased, and I didn't want it to turn out like this."
There are still more than four hours until "Struggle" is released.
Zhou Yang unexpectedly received a call from Zhou Yilin.
On the phone, Zhou Yilin's tone was different from before. His voice was sincere and without any smile.
Zhou Yang heard him talk about "Warring States", the filming schedule of "Mineral Bottom" when he was in Berlin, and talked about various things in the past...
Zhou Yang thought he would mention this matter in one stroke, but he never expected that Zhou Yilin not only did not mention it in one stroke, but also told the detailed psychological journey of "Warring States".
Zhou Yilin confessed all the wrong things he had done with "Under the Mine" and even used this phone call to analyze himself as if mumbling to himself.
Zhou Yang never expected that a senior with such strong qualifications as Zhou Yilin would speak to him in such a tone.
At this moment, he felt a little touched in his heart.
After Zhou Yilin finished speaking, Zhou Yang also told Zhou Yilin something about Xu Xiaoming...
He mentioned that Xu Xiaoming suddenly came to his company a few days ago and wanted to see him, but he didn't. He also talked about the situation at the premiere of "The Golden Armor".
Reporters who appeared out of nowhere, fans who appeared out of nowhere, and film critics sitting in the back row...
Zhou Yang didn't know anything about it.
Zhou Yilin listened the whole time.
After Zhou Yang finished speaking, he felt that there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
He didn't know how much time passed before he heard a faint sigh from the other side.
"It seems that someone is indeed trying to make trouble..." Zhou Yilin hesitated for a while after saying this: "Xiao Zhou, there may be trouble at the premiere of "Struggle", and I suspect that people behind will blame this trouble.
It's on me, but it's not too late now. I'm going to clear up the mess first and try to minimize the impact. At the same time, I want to work hard on you to restrain the fans a little and try not to make things worse. No, don't clarify it yet.
Appropriate friction at the right time is no problem, it can keep the movie hot in the future...Xiao Zhou, let me think about how to handle this matter..."
"okay."
After Zhou Yang hung up the phone, he glanced at the window.
Dawn is coming.
……………………
March 24th.
The day when "Struggle" premiered in China.
Reporters swarmed in and surrounded Wanda Cinema in Yanjing.
Feng Kai's face was haggard, with dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes. He felt as if he had just been pressed by dozens of fat women for three days and three nights, and was so weak that his calves were trembling.
Countless reporters rushed towards him, but Feng Kai couldn't feel any joy of being noticed.
"Struggle" was the most difficult film to edit in his life.
The messy materials, the messy pictures on the mobile phone, the connection between different pictures in the camera, and the post-cutting of some lines and narrations...
Although there were many brothers in the later stage team who helped him with the pressure, he still felt like his body was being hollowed out.
It's different from other movies.
"Struggle" does not have a premiere, nor does it have too much publicity. A premiere is a premiere.
I don't know if some of the clips and images in "Struggle" were too shocking. After finishing "Struggle", Feng Kai felt that his mental state had changed slightly.
I had trouble sleeping yesterday.
He began to be afraid of shadows, afraid of small places, and even afraid of darkness, and did not dare to turn off the light.
He seems to be depressed again.
It seems that every time he cooperates with Zhou Yang, he will experience a severe physical and psychological trauma.
Feng Kai left the circle of reporters and walked into the screening room. When he sat in the screening room, he felt out of breath for no reason.
As more and more people gathered, the feeling of being out of breath became even stronger, especially when some advertisements began to play on the big screen and the entire screening room darkened. Feng Kai felt that his heart was broken. Got confused.
As time passed, more people came in one after another, and soon the entire screening room was filled.
He saw Zhou Yang walking into the screening room surrounded by countless reporters. Many fans stood up excitedly and screamed at Zhou Yang...
There was a wry smile on Feng Kai's face, and his eyes were extremely complicated.
Damn it!
Inexplicably, I felt like I was working for Zhou Yang and dealing with the mess.
certainly……
When a slim figure wearing a mask and hat sat not far from Feng Kai, Feng Kai finally felt suffocated.
Feng Kai knew that it was An Xiao!
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
"Get out of here!"
"Fuck, why is this person here!"
"too disgusting!"
"..."
Feng Kai hadn't been stunned for long when he heard a burst of curses from Zhou Yang's fans in the screening room.
Immediately afterwards...
He saw Zhou Yilin happily following him in. Faced with the curses from countless fans, Zhou Yilin's smile did not change at all.
Zhou Yang also made room for Zhou Yilin at this time, and then showed a smile to the reporters and invited Zhou Yilin to sit down.
