Chapter 376 President Zhou, you are my reborn parent!
"This way..."
"Knife wounds, broken bones, falls, frequent negative scandals, criticism and abuse..."
"We have gone through all the setbacks and difficulties that a movie has to go through. My confidence has been hit hard like never before. I even thought that the movie was going to be over."
"But fortunately, my seniors gave me great encouragement."
"Thank you for your trust in me, a newcomer who has only just started working. Without your support, "Night Walker" may, may not be filmed..."
"Also, Director Cao, Teacher Cao, Director Shen, and the seniors from the China Film Association, it was you who encouraged me and gave me the courage to persevere until the end, thank you!"
"..."
August 2nd.
The press hall of Wanda International Hotel was crowded with people.
Countless reporters and fans surrounded the hotel.
Li Yaozong, Zhang Shaolei, Teacher Liang Jialiu, Chen Huixia...
All the famous movie kings in the film industry are crowded in this hall, looking at the excited young people on the screen with smiles on their faces.
In front of the huge poster of "Night Walker", the camera gave this young man a close-up.
The young man stood in front of the stage where everyone was watching. He was extremely excited. While speaking touching words, he bowed to everyone, just like a pious younger generation.
He thanked everyone present and spoke with deep affection, even bursting into tears and becoming speechless for a time.
Below, some actors sitting in the front row seemed to be infected by this young man, with red eyes and blowing their noses constantly.
In this tearful speech, the stories that happened during the filming of "Night Walker" are full of inspiration and legend. It is vaguely known that almost every actor risked his or her life to shoot the film.
The fans in the back row were also moved...
"Our Chinese film industry has always been at a disadvantage."
"To this day, our movies are still under the dominance of Hollywood movies..."
""The Sevier" is 700 million, and "Pandaman" has been released for nearly two months, with a box office of 730 million!"
"The exaggerated statistics make us filmmakers feel very sad and powerless!"
"But please believe me, days like this will not last long!"
""Night Walker" will exceed 700 million, and pre-sale tickets are very popular. Although for some reasons, we are slightly behind "Pandaman", we are fully qualified to declare war on these movies!"
"This movie brings together our outstanding actors from across the Taiwan Strait and the three regions. We are no worse than any Hollywood actors!"
“When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!”
"Believe me, and please believe us, Huaxia Film!"
"We can win this battle!"
"Even if it's darkness, we will break through the dawn and let the world see our movie!"
"..."
After suppressing the emotions of all the fans, Django clenched his fists and suddenly waved them excitedly.
His voice was sonorous and powerful, and he spoke a sentence with extremely sensational words.
Like a powerful speaker!
Many people felt their scalps numb and stood up excitedly. Their blood was boiling and they couldn't help but roar loudly.
Django heard countless applause.
Standing under the bright light, his heart was surging, his pride was soaring, and he felt like he wanted to compete with God.
He has practiced this set of speeches countless times and has become extremely proficient!
He looked down at the movie kings, movie queens, and some popular stars below!
The movie "Night Walker" covers almost all idol fans of all ages.
He was extremely excited and almost wanted to roar!
This was the most glorious moment in his life.
Suddenly, a figure of Zhou Yang appeared in front of his eyes. This figure that was like a nightmare a few days ago gradually became dim and finally completely collapsed!
He took a step forward, as if he was going to crush it under his feet.
The first young director in China!
It's him!
It can only be him!
Half an hour later, the premiere of "Night Walker" officially ended, and countless filmmakers, critics, fans and fans rushed into the cinema.
The Wanda Cinema next door was packed to the brim, just like the grand occasion when "Pandaman" was released two months ago!
Jiang Ge tried hard to keep himself calm and stabilize his mentality.
but……
At the beginning of the premiere, he still lowered his head from time to time and asked his assistant about the popularity and data of "Night Walker" on the Internet!
“Number one in popularity!”
“Weibo reaches the top!”
“It is also the most searched on major video websites, especially the documentary we released, with the highest number of views exceeding 8 million!”
“Absolutely amazing!”
In the screening room, the lights flickered.
Every few minutes, the assistant whispered to Django about the data of "Night Walker" on the Internet.
Jiang Ge looked at the data, and then at the movie fans who entered the screening room and watched very seriously, and felt even more excited!
He began to dream about the future, about becoming a god, and about winning the Golden Lion Award at the Venice International Film Festival. The more he thought about it, the harder it became to suppress his emotions.
have to say.
"Night Walker" is indeed a rare and well-made Chinese film.
He tells about some unknown heroes, just like "Infernal Affairs", it tells the story of an undercover agent in a dark world.
Needless to say, the acting skills of the best actor Li Yiu Zhong and Li Tianwang were not only handsome, but every detail and every line made the audience mesmerized.
The rivalry between the tough guy Zhang Shaolei and Leung Ka-lei is also the most bonus point in the whole movie. Especially in the slightly suspenseful plot, many viewers inevitably feel a sense of urgency deep in their hearts.
For more than two hours, the audience kept staring at the screen. When the movie finally ended, some audience members couldn't help but applaud and admire.
When the lights came on, Jiang Ge heard countless congratulations!
"Thank you, thank you!"
“Still need to work hard!”
"I will work hard!"
“It does take some work!”
"..."
Django kept shaking hands with his seniors.
Even though his whole body was so excited that he felt like he was reaching the top of the atmosphere, and the mountains he could see were so small, he still maintained the modesty he should have!
Of course, out of the corner of his eye, he unconsciously glanced at the empty seat not far away, and the feeling of victory in his heart became even stronger.
He actually invited Zhou Yang to the premiere of "Night Walker", and he did so in public, but Zhou Yang didn't come, not even a word of explanation.
No matter what the reason is, in short, Zhou Yang will definitely get a reputation of being narrow-minded in front of the media.
He withdrew his gaze and continued to greet fans and countless reporters.
Half an hour later, he finally walked out under siege from reporters.
"The latest news is that our attendance rate ranks 85% nationwide! It is already an amazing record, not worse than "Pandaman". In other words, if we had the same film schedule for "Pandaman", we would completely
We are qualified to surpass him, but unfortunately, if we had not encountered the main theme movie "Our Motherland" and been diverted... we could actually take it a little longer!"
The assistant was naturally excited, but after seeing another movie, he inevitably felt regretful.
August 1st!
Also released at the same time was "Our Motherland".
Although the main theme movies have always been marginal movies at the box office, they rarely have any big hits.
But there are rigid rules for the scheduling of every movie.
"Our Motherland" is also different from some theme movies. This movie can only be said to be a tribute to August 1st. There are stars in it, but most of them are old actors. Although their acting skills are adequate, in the hearts of young people,
It doesn't have much appeal.
And the director is not a big director at all, he is just a film that was made after being banned for five years and fortunately received support from the China Youth Film Association Fund.
Even a few days before the movie was released, there was no splash at all, and the momentum was completely suppressed.
"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. We are not afraid of Hollywood movies, let alone movies with the main theme. We are fighting a protracted war. As time goes by, the box office will only be higher!"
Django is quite confident!
The confidence comes from the power behind him and the amazing lineup of "Night Walker"!
After finishing speaking, he walked out of the screening room, bathed in the sunshine, and felt that his whole body was filled with comfort.
"I'll go back and have a good sleep. Let me know when the box office results come out!"
"OK!"
………………
Zhou Yang did not watch "Night Walker".
He rarely breaks appointments.
But since "The Last of the Mohicans" was released, his originally very energetic spirit suddenly became very tired. After leaving the concert hall, he felt dizzy instantly.
After getting in the car, he couldn't even open his eyes and finally fell into a deep sleep.
I slept so darkly that I seemed to have lost consciousness.
But the strange thing is that he didn't dream.
Three o'clock in the morning.
He was awakened by a series of phone calls.
Drowsily, he opened his eyes, only to see his phone vibrating continuously.
He subconsciously picked up the phone and answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Zhou... Director Zhou, thank you, thank you... really thank you..."
"I, cough, cough, I really don't know how to say thank you right now..."
"You are my reborn parents..."
"Mr. Zhou..."
There were bursts of crying sounds on the phone.
The sudden crying in the middle of the night sent chills down Zhou Yang's spine...
"Who are you?"
"I am Lu Zhengwei, the director of "Our Motherland", Lu Zhengwei... Your "Chinese Young Directors Fund" once supported me and allowed me to film "Our Motherland"..."
"..."
On the other end of the phone, the voice seemed to become more excited and seemed to be sobbing continuously!
But Zhou Yang was at a loss...
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure out who this person was...
