The first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on this land, filling it with warmth.
When Zhou Yang came to the company, he found that everyone was looking at him with complicated eyes. The receptionist who was originally smiling suddenly became silent when he saw Zhou Yang coming.
Unconsciously, Zhou Yang felt that the overall atmosphere of Huaxing had changed.
It became a bit strange and indescribably depressing.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Zhou Yang always felt that there was a trace of indescribable awe in the eyes of these employees.
This kind of awe seemed to be a barrier, which invisibly separated a thick distance between him and them. Even Feng Kai became a little cautious when he came to talk to Zhou Yang.
"Mr. Zhou, this is the overseas box office of "Jinyiwei"..."
"Oh, Director Feng, do you want to sit down?"
"No, no, I can just stand."
"Um? Director Feng, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine."
"Director Feng, why do I feel you are weird?"
"Mr. Zhou, no problem. I want to film "The Golden Guard 2". Is this movie suitable for you?"
"It's appropriate. What's inappropriate..."
"Oh, oh, the investment in this movie is about 20 million, and if it can receive an advertising fee, the company will invest about 13 million..."
"..."
The movie "Jinyiwei" has officially been released.
The overall box office is very good. The total investment is 7 million, plus 3 million in publicity and distribution expenses, and it has received an astonishing box office of 130 million in China. This is undoubtedly another one in Feng Kai's career. The overseas box office is also good.
The total box office is 20 million US dollars. Although it is not comparable to the 62 million US dollars of "Roboman", it is also one of the few successful export movies in China.
In the office.
The breeze came through the window and rustled the papers on the table.
Zhou Yang listened carefully as Feng Kai introduced himself to the situation of "Jin Yi Wei 2" and the script that had been written.
Zhou Yang suddenly felt an inexplicable discomfort.
He found that Feng Kai seemed to have changed.
The young Chinese director who was once proud, arrogant, and even full of enthusiasm suddenly became very strange and unfamiliar at this moment.
The sun shone on Feng Kai's body, and he found that although Feng Kai did not lower his head, his eyes were always on the work report, and what he said to him was always about scripts, movies and investments. Apart from that, he actually
No other unnecessary words were said.
"Director Feng... what's wrong with you?" After listening to the report and approving the investment form for "Jin Yi Wei 2" to Feng Kai, Zhou Yang finally couldn't help but ask this question.
"Ah, it's okay, Mr. Zhou, if there are no other questions, I'll leave first?" After Feng Kai heard Zhou Yang's voice, he was stunned subconsciously, and then shook his head.
When facing Zhou Yang, his eyes were evasive.
"oh."
Feng Kai took the investment project list approved by Zhou Yang and left the office.
Zhou Yang looked at Feng Kai's expression.
Zhou Yang, Director Zhou, Mr. Zhou...
Zhou Yang recalled every detail between himself and Feng Kai in his mind, and thought of the changes in Feng Kai's name for him.
[Respectfully].
These four words suddenly appeared in Zhou Yang's mind.
In the office, the breeze still rustled the draft paper.
Zhou Yang stood up, feeling at a loss for what to do.
He subconsciously went to the mirror next to him and took a look at his own appearance. Except that he was slightly paler than when he was filming "The Bottom of the Mine", he had not changed in any way.
He smiled in front of the mirror. The smile was still naive and sincere, but it seemed to have a little more confidence from the inside out.
Along the way, it seems that you have also changed?
"Dong dong."
"Come in, Sister Wang."
"Mr. Zhou, I brought someone here. Is it convenient for me to meet him?"
"who?"
"Her name is Xu Mei. She used to be Cai Lin's manager. She was kicked out of Xinghui by Cai Lin for almost three months." Zhou Yang watched Wang Jing walk in, followed by a young woman with her head lowered and a nervous look behind her.
.
When the woman saw Zhou Yang, she instinctively shouted: "Hello, Mr. Zhou."
"Oh, hello, Miss Xu." Zhou Yang looked at Xu Mei and showed a silly smile.
He had met Xu Mei before at the Golden Melody Awards. Although he was Cai Lin's manager, Zhou Yang had a very good impression of her.
Honest, responsible, hard-working, and conscientious.
"Mr. Zhou, I heard from Sister Wang that you are short of an agent and a life assistant, so I wanted to come over and give it a try. Mr. Zhou, this is my resume..." Xu Mei came to Zhou Yang and handed over a resume.
Yang glanced at Wang Jing, and when he saw Wang Jing nodding slightly, he also laughed.
"Ms. Xu, do you have a non-competition agreement?"
"The non-compete agreement was signed for three months and ended yesterday..."
"Oh, okay, welcome to Huaxing!" Zhou Yang nodded with a smile after reading his resume carefully.
Zhou Yang really lacks an agent.
In the past, this position was held concurrently by Wang Jing.
But as Huaxing became more and more involved and the projects involved became more and more extensive, Wang Jing was very busy with her work. She was often busy until midnight and still couldn't finish her work. At this moment, she could no longer take care of her work.
Foreign.
"Mr. Zhou, I will work hard!" When Xu Mei saw Zhou Yang's smile, the nervousness in her heart suddenly disappeared and she nodded quickly.
"When can I go to work?"
“Just in the afternoon!”
"Okay, then go and get ready."
"good!"
After Xu Mei left the office, Zhou Yang looked at Wang Jing as if he had thought of something: "Sister Wang, do you know any good animation teams in China?"
"Animation team?"
"Yes." Wang Jing frowned, thought for a while and then shook her head: "There are many R books, but in China, in fact, there is no top animation team in China... Mr. Zhou, do you want to do animation?"
"I have this idea."
"Oh, I will help keep an eye on it."
"OK."
After Wang Jing left, the office began to become a little quiet again.
Zhou Yang lowered his head and looked at several scripts in the drawer.
One script is "I'm Not the God of Medicine". The script is still under review and there is no news. There is a high probability that the review will not be approved during this period.
The other script is "Spider-Man". There is no problem with the review of this movie, but the investment in this movie is really too large. Although the original space and time is a box office hit, the investment is more than 100 million US dollars. In this world, Zhou Yang has made
After looking at the investment budget, if you want to achieve the same effect as the original world, the investment will probably be upwards of 50 million US dollars. With Zhou Yang's current financial resources, he simply cannot support the filming of this movie. Even if he can get it
Investment, Zhou Yang did not dare to try such a large-scale production easily.
Moreover, "Spider-Man" in the original time and space has comic fans, and the movie has a certain mass base. However, in this time and space, there are no comics of "Spider-Man" at all, and he does not have the ability to control such a large crew at all. He has no influence on special effects.
If you don't know anything about it, entering the market hastily will lead to death.
After the two projects reached an impasse, Zhou Yang found himself in an embarrassing situation.
Just when Zhou Yang was thinking about his next movie, he received an unexpected phone call.
"Hello, President Zhou..."
"Hello……"
When Zhou Yang received the call, he was a little stunned and even thought he heard wrongly.
The owner of the phone turned out to be Django.
"President Zhou, there is a Hong Kong Island Film Exchange Meeting tonight, organized by the China Film Association. I am one of the initiators of this meeting. I hope you can participate in the discussion if you are free..."
Zhou Yang was even more confused after hearing the voice on the phone.
In his impression, although he and Jiang Ge were not life-and-death enemies, they had fought each other on the spot and had completely broken up with each other, and they had never interacted with each other forever.
But he actually called himself, and the content of the call was very polite. Not only did his words reveal a sense of respect, he even called Zhou Yang "you" and "President Zhou", words that would never come out of his mouth.
.
It was an extremely unreal feeling.
Even after hanging up the phone, Zhou Yang still shook his head, full of confusion.
What happened to Django?
Did he take the wrong medicine or is this some sort of Hongmen banquet?
……………………
Despite the turmoil and turmoil between the mainland and Hong Kong Island, the situation remains the same.
But the movie "The Grandmaster" still broke records at the box office.
Four days, 82 million yuan!
This is an extremely astonishing data, even the best record in the history of Chinese films, and it is also a milestone!
This is an extremely exciting thing. Filmmakers in Hong Kong, which had been languishing for a long time and suffered a massive loss of talent, saw hope in the revival of Hong Kong films in the movie "The Grandmaster".
""The Grandmaster" is just a small friction, just like a young couple who just started to get along, it is inevitable that they will bump into each other. When the cooperation lasts for a long time and the communication becomes more and more, it will get better..."
"The total overseas advance ticket sales of "The Grandmaster" have reached 10 million U.S. dollars, and enthusiasm in North America is high. It is a certainty that the premiere box office will break the historical record for Chinese export films. This impressive result has convinced many directors
It proves that blockbuster movies can be made in China without having to go to Hollywood... world-class movies can also be made by cross-strait cooperation!"
Noon on April 14th.
The relevant departments of the Hong Kong film industry came to the mainland and met with the mainland leaders, and then burst into laughter.
The noisiness did not affect the enthusiasm for exchanges between mainland and Hong Kong films. Instead, it made the leaders more determined to adhere to the idea of more exchanges and more running-in.
In the offices of relevant departments.
The leaders on both sides of the Taiwan Strait laughed and talked about some old memories.
An Xiao, who was not far away, took out his mobile phone and called Zhou Yang.
"Zhou Yang..."
"Mr. An?"
"I am the meeting leader and host of the Hong Kong Island Film Exchange Meeting... This time the content is to discuss the revival and cooperation of Hong Kong Island films. Django will bring new movies here, and Django's new movie "Night Walker" is the key support
Project one, do you have a script now?"
"No, what is the story of "Night Walker"?"
"This cannot be disclosed for the time being, but Jiang Ge will probably talk about it at the meeting... The department attaches great importance to this script."
"Oh, I see. By the way, Mr. An, have you been promoted?"
"No, but Zhang Ke is very busy at work now, so I will take charge of these tasks on his behalf..."
