Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Chapters of His Times
September 3rd.
The wind in the early morning brings with it a sense of coldness and tranquility.
The full moon hangs high in the sky, and the moonlight is bright. Looking up at the sky, I still feel an indescribable sense of loneliness.
Jiang Ge sat on the top floor of Xinghui Company, letting the wind blow on his cheeks, and felt the chill getting worse.
The total box office of "Night Walker" in the first month since its release has been released.
The total box office in China is 380 million.
The total overseas box office is US$70 million...
Excluding the deduction of various taxes and various commissions, although this movie is still far from the box office mentioned in the gambling agreement, it does not seem to be a problem to achieve the set goal.
Jiang Ge did not feel happy, nor did he even feel relieved. Instead, there was no wave in his heart.
Under the moonlight...
The wind blew up the box office report form for September 2. The report form floated up and flew with the wind to an unknown distance.
Feng Kai's "Counterattack" had an astonishing premiere box office, with a box office of two million!
Two million...
It's not very eye-catching, and even in some movies, it's an extremely disappointing result.
However, this movie is only being screened in one "Xingyang" theater chain, and other theater groups such as Wanda, Yongxin, and Meikairui have not obtained the right to premiere this movie at all!
The premiere attendance rate of 99% is definitely an extremely exaggerated and almost miraculous figure.
"Feng Kai..."
Jiang Ge chanted Feng Kai's name.
There was no jealousy in his heart. Since the last incident, he had recognized some things clearly and lost the childishness and impetuousness before.
He went to Xingyang and watched the movie "Counterattack". Whether it was the story, rhythm, soundtrack, or final emotional rendering, everything was done to the extreme by Feng Kai. Even he thought this movie was very amazing.
It is a rare excellent realistic work!
"Even he can make such a movie..."
Jiang Ge praised again. After praising him, he lowered his head and began to examine himself.
Feng Kai's innate conditions are actually not as good as his own...
Although he was born in a school, and although he had some family background, he did not have so many seniors to help him. He should have been stepped on by him, but...
At this moment, it seems that the one being stepped on is myself.
He began to think of Zhou Yang again.
"Counterattack" is adapted from Zhou Yang's real experience. He had seen Zhou Yang's fan experience on the Internet a long time ago, but he felt it was fake and deliberately hyped. He even did it in private several times.
He mocked Zhou Yang as just a clown who used his so-called tragic experiences to win sympathy.
After reading "Counterattack", he felt as if someone had hit him hard on the head. He was shocked and had mixed emotions in his heart. He was actually moved by the story and cheered for his arrival in Berlin.
That year...
He was in Berlin, looking at Zhou Yang on the stage with jealousy, unwillingness, disdain and envy.
He is Zhou Yang's witness.
But now that I think about it, "Under the Mine" actually has to be successful. It is so realistic, so realistic that it scares people, and at the same time it is too ironic. If you really taste "Under the Mine" carefully, you will find that there are actually artistic elements in this movie.
It is very high, cruel and chilling to the spine, but it is worthy of deep thought and aftertaste.
Why can't a movie like this win an award?
"Is this guy a monster in human skin?"
The memory was interrupted by a gust of cold wind.
In the dark night, he looked at the sky and felt that the air was getting colder and colder, and he shivered from the cold.
But then, he thought about the "Painted Skin" story in Liaozhai, and he felt that it was particularly immersive. He didn't know if it was because the night was getting darker, or because of the ups and downs of his emotions. The more he thought about it, the more creepy he felt...
When he came back from the roof and walked downstairs, he looked at the narrow walkway and his eyes shrank suddenly!
"Make a fantasy-type movie based on the story of "Painted Skin" adapted from Liaozhai..."
……………………
The morning of September 3rd.
[I still remember that after Sister Hong’s concert that year, someone vowed that it was the end of an era and the beginning of another, even crazier era...]
[That sentence was ridiculed by countless people...]
[Now, these words and these prophecies are being verified one by one!]
【……】
The famous film critic Ba Liming wrote an article titled "New Era" with very passionate words on his Weibo.
This article was quickly reposted by countless people. After reading it, countless netizens began to get excited uncontrollably.
"The total box office of "Infernal Affairs" has exceeded 400 million and is heading towards 700 million, officially suppressing the Hollywood blockbuster "Superman 2", a miracle in the Chinese film industry!"
""Infernal Affairs" has been shortlisted for the Venice International Film Festival, one of the three major European film festivals, and is writing a brilliant new chapter for a Chinese director!"
""Counterattack" is a hit, and the premiere tickets were sold to 500 yuan by scalpers, but the demand is still in short supply! His movie is becoming a classic!"
"The first round of TV broadcast of "That Year of the Rabbit" ended with a ratings of 14%, breaking a new record for domestic animation! The animation he wrote and participated in the production is writing a new chapter for domestic animation!"
"The new textbook open class has been a great success and has become a template for open class teaching in the capital. What he wrote is being moved by the children..."
"The first donation of "Infernal Affairs" amounting to 30 million has been received, ranking first on the list of donations in southern Hunan!"
"'Men in Black' is scheduled to be released on September 5th. The sci-fi comedy blockbuster written by him has sold out pre-sale tickets!"
"..."
Netizens are watching the news one after another. On Weibo, in major QQ groups, the homepages of major media are regarded as breaking news and are displayed in the most conspicuous positions!
Some people are excited, some are shocked, and some are exclaiming!
like……
Since the end of that concert, it has indeed been the end of an old era and the beginning of a new era.
wrong!
It should be that since the release of "Mineral Bottom", it seems that a new era has begun!
certainly……
The joys and sorrows of people are not the same!
After seeing Zhou Yang's astonishing popularity, theater operators who had made small moves in the past began to think deeply.
"Counterattack" seems to be a warning and a reminder, reminding him of Zhou Yang's amazing appeal in China.
After "Counterattack" was preemptively released by Xingyang Cinemas, their theater not only lost nearly 30% of their guests, but even this little-known small theater chain, Xingyang, suddenly had a huge rush of moviegoers to grab tickets due to traffic jams.
And there was a wave of hot searches...
In their eyes, Xingyang is still a small theater chain, but they know that Zhou Yang is no longer restricted by them!
Several theater chains are very disgusted and disgusted with Zhou Yang's actions. They are talking and discussing about boycotting Zhou Yang. As long as everyone boycotts Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang will not be able to make any trouble.
How can they, who are working in capital, be fooled by Zhou Yang, who is working in content?
However, several theater chains hold different views. They feel that they need to cooperate, at least normally, and at least not to go too far.
Zhou Yang's popularity in China is terrifying, he has a lot of fans, and his works have strong appeal!
These can be converted into box office and into real money!
No one will have trouble with money...
As a result, theater groups began to have disagreements.
"We want the first-hand screening rights of "Men in Black". As an overseas imported film, we are very optimistic about it..."
"..."
"Ms. Xu, I know Mr. Zhou is very busy, but we still want to talk to Mr. Zhou about the premiere of "Men in Black"..."
"..."
"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, the reason for the previous filming was an accident..."
During the disagreement, Zhou Yang's company and even Zhou Yang himself received a series of calls to discuss cooperation.
……………………
Every change Zhou Yang makes is actually a subtle act of learning from others.
Unprofitable donations for "Infernal Affairs"...
In fact, it was somewhat tainted with some of Christian's extreme propaganda methods.
In the office.
Zhou Yang smiled and answered the calls one by one.
The theater chain executives on the phone seemed extremely sincere, as if they were all friends and would definitely cooperate well in the future.
There was a lot of compliments on the phone. The people in charge seemed to be very thick-skinned. They had done a series of messy operations on "Infernal Affairs" and passed all the blame on temporary workers, completely passing the blame away.
In the past, Zhou Yang hated people and so-called hypocrisy, and he didn't like to deal with these people.
But after seeing more people and dealing with more things, Zhou Yang began to understand that hypocrisy is actually the normal state of capital.
You have to adapt to him. When facing hypocritical people, you have to be more hypocritical than them.
"Unknowingly, I have become such a person."
After talking about cooperation with the CEOs of these theater chains with hypocritical smiles, Zhou Yang felt sick in his heart.
However, there are some gains. At least he has negotiated a 50-50 split from the previous 50-50 split with the theater chain, and he did it with a smile.
The sunset in the evening always makes people feel a little lonely.
In the quiet moment after answering the phone, Zhou Yang sat on the sofa, feeling no joy, only at a loss as to what to do.
He took out his cell phone and looked at the words "Don't forget to eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival" repeatedly.
After his career started and he saw hope, he couldn't help but start to think about the deepest emotions in his heart.
"Have the courage to ask each other about their feelings..."
"At least it's better than hiding it silently and not knowing anything!"
"Don't be afraid of failure. Even if you fail, you can still be friends."
"Don't worry about whether you are worthy or not. People living in this world are inherently equal!"
"Men and women are the same, poor people are the same as rich people..."
"Only by attacking can we win!"
He lowered his head, looked at a love book on the table, and kept reading these few sentences.
Mr. An should have understood what I said.
She didn't refuse...
There is no refusal, that is to say, she should acquiesce?
It seems so, but I can't be sure. Maybe this is another kind of rejection...
How could it be rejection?
I am a man, and I am not related to Mr. An, so why would she remind me to go to her house to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival?
and……
When she invited me before, she was talking about grandpa, not her grandpa...
Is that an unconscious psychological suggestion?
There are still six days until the Mid-Autumn Festival.
