Zhou Yang came to the bustling city of Yanjing again.
Compared to a year ago, Yanjing City has not changed much...
Pedestrians were walking in a hurry, and the number of people waiting for buses and subways did not decrease because of the Chinese New Year, but became more crowded.
Everywhere you can see salespeople holding documents, eating breakfast and making phone calls, as well as office workers carrying briefcases and suits.
"Dad, Mom, I won't go back to celebrate the New Year this year..."
"The annual leave is too short, and I can't stay at home for more than a few days..."
"The company is very busy. Now I am at the critical stage of promotion. I have to follow up on this project..."
"Let's go on May Day. I might have some free time on May Day..."
"..."
"..."
After Zhou Yang saw a young woman making a phone call with a very surprised tone, he suddenly held his head and burst into tears.
In the noisy subway, someone handed her a tissue. She thanked her and wiped it with her hands, but she couldn't wipe away her tears. Instead, they shed more and more.
The phone rang again.
When she heard the phone ringing, she picked up the phone almost as a reflex. After taking a deep breath, she began to introduce the advantages of their company in a serious and confident voice, and hoped that the other party would consider them more...
The older generation envies those office workers in the city who sit in offices and blow on the air conditioners, and hope that their children in the future can be like them and work as masters in big cities.
People in big cities dress brightly and don't have to live in the sun, let alone do manual labor and earn hard money like them.
They think this is happiness.
but……
Who knows how much bitterness and despair is filled in that brightly lit world?
Times have changed.
"What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Feng Kai was surprised to see Zhou Yang return to the silent tone he had when they first met him.
Zhou Yang didn't say much, he just looked at everyone in the subway.
For a moment, he felt that the world was like a vast ocean, with thousands of rivers flowing into it.
And he is one of the duckweeds in the stream.
Drift with the waves, roll with the waves.
I don’t know where I’m going, I don’t know when I’ll fall, I don’t know when I’ll rot…
"The movie "Tianji" really screwed up investors. Rather than making a movie like this, it would be better not to make anything at all..." Feng Kai looked at the poster of the movie "Tianji" in the subway and was speechless.
He shook his head: "However, the literary and artistic elements in Berlin really like this kind of abstract stream-of-consciousness movies. Maybe they can really fool those foreigners. Art is something they can't understand..."
"..."
"..."
Zhou Yang turned his head and looked at the poster of "Tianji".
He saw that best actor Shen Kaifeng had disheveled hair and his seemingly crazy and weird look took up more than half of the poster.
Under the poster, there is a line of words written.
(A Chinese epic movie that cannot be surpassed within five years!)
Zhou Yang suddenly felt an indescribable sense of disobedience...
He thought of a movie called "The Promise" in the original world.
Although the movies look different and the actors are different, there are always some great and successful directors who go further and further down the art path that is incomprehensible.
It is true that no one can understand "The Promise" within five years. Five years later, well, at least people with no artistic talent like Zhou Yang will still not be able to understand it.
Of course, in addition to the movie poster of "The Promise", there is also a movie poster called "Hero".
This is a new movie. The movie poster is very simple. There is a sword across the center of the poster, and the sword body reflects the actors with fierce expressions.
The director of this film is Shen Changwei. He and Chen Kai, the director of "The Promise", are influential figures of the same era and are both representatives of the fifth generation of Chinese directors...
The shadows of Chen Wuji and Lao Mouzi appeared in Zhou Yang's mind.
certainly……
They are too far away from him.
It was so far away that Zhou Yang didn’t dare to think too much about it.
The subway will arrive at the station soon.
After arriving at the station, Zhou Yang followed Feng Kai into the elevator. After getting out of the elevator, he called a taxi. Amidst the sound of Feng Kai retching as he collapsed due to the traffic jam, the two of them arrived at the entrance of "Xingcai Company".
The once prosperous Xingcai Company now seems a little deserted.
There were only a few reporters squatting in front of the company, playing with their cameras out of boredom...
There were fans too, but only a few of them held signs that read: "Come on Victoria Song!" "Come on He Yiming." "Please be kind to our Sissi..." "Bingbing don't cry" "Hu Bingqing, we are waiting for you"...
When Xingcai Company first entered this industry, it was ambitious to get a share of the industry and spent a lot of money to create an idol girl group, including Victoria Song, Hu Bingqing and others.
The girl group actually did very well in the early days. Under the company's key training, they released several chorus albums in succession. Although the sales of the albums were not top-notch, they were able to attract a large number of fans. Relying on the popularity of this wave of fans, they appeared on variety shows. , accepting advertisements, making movies, and filming idol dramas, and I'm pretty successful...
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.
As the times progress, more and more capital enters this circle. When more capital enters this circle, there will be more open and covert struggles.
The cake is so big after all...
The girl group was exposed overnight for all kinds of bad stuff including homosexuality, cheating, fighting, being a big star, suppressing newcomers, etc.
These black materials include photos, recordings, and even videos, which once became a hot topic on various searches.
After finally spending a lot of money to suppress all this, the company began to run into bad luck and began to lose money on everything it invested, until "Tianji"...
When investing in this movie, Han Shaoping, the CEO of Xingcai Company, was very ambitious.
He thinks this is a turnaround for their company!
In fact, analysts have warned Han Shaoping, meaning that an investment of 300 million is too big, and the risks are uncontrollable. The best way is to make a big deal with director Chen Kai, attract capital investment, and then use the invested capital. Inside, make a small profit and get some box office share...
But Han Shaoping couldn't listen!
Who is Chen Kai?
Representative of the Five Generations of Chinese Directors!
He has produced a series of classic works such as "Overlord", "Big Time", and "Black Earth" that are still praised by people today!
Should you make a small fortune, or should you choose to believe in Chen Kai and create a new era of Chinese box office together?
Han Shaoping chose the latter.
But who would have thought that the great director Chen Kai, who was just in his prime, would suddenly lose his mind and have his heart beat like this?
……………………
After showing the relevant documents, Zhou Yang and Feng Kai walked into the company.
In such a large company, Zhou Yang saw many people talking in private. Some were making phone calls to contact new brokerage companies, while others were packing their luggage and preparing to leave.
Feng Kai is well-known in this circle.
As one of the most promising directors of the younger generation, Feng Kai has also been interviewed on TV and various variety shows.
After seeing Feng Kai, some people gathered around him excitedly and shouted "Director Feng" and "Director Feng" non-stop. Even Zhou Yang was surrounded by all kinds of flattering smiles.
Zhou Yang recalled a year ago, when he was standing in front of this company and was chased away by security guards...
Zhou Yang was stunned when he saw one of the middle-aged women.
He then remembered that he had been sitting in front of the company all day, and then tried every means to hand the manuscript he had written to this middle-aged woman, and begged the middle-aged woman very seriously to help the company's artists take a look, even if he had to
Throw it away, and hope you can take a look before throwing it away.
pity……
"Well, thank you for supporting our Sissi, I will show her what you wrote..."
"Please go back first. I will contact you if necessary."
"..."
"..."
After leaving these words, the middle-aged woman took away her manuscript.
Zhou Yang worked very hard to prove one thing.
Not only are fairy tales deceiving, but many online novels are also deceiving.
There may be Bole in the world.
But it is unlikely to be encountered by Zhou Yang.
"Wow, Mr. Zhou is very young and has a lot of talent!"
"Mr. Zhou, do you need an assistant? I have been working in this industry for many years and have rich experience and sharp eyesight..."
"I used to be Song Qianqian's assistant. If Qianqian joins your company, I hope you can mention me in the meeting..."
"..."
Zhou Yang heard this woman's flattering smile, and she hurriedly handed him her business card.
Zhou Yang looked at the middle-aged woman named Sun Fangfang.
She no longer recognizes herself.
He suddenly felt a little ironic.
He was wearing the same clothes as last year, and he was darker than last year, but he became a "talented person" just because he came in with Feng Kai?
He was silent for a long time.
Then he showed a smile.
"Sister Sun, did you give Song Qianqian the lyrics I handed you last year?"
