In the office, Zhou Yang wrapped up his clothes and looked out the window.
It seems like it's going to snow here in the United States soon.
"Really not?"
"So far there really isn't...the movie isn't very optimistic."
"I need a chance."
"Well, I understand. I understand you very well."
Zheng Jun felt embarrassed and even more discouraged.
The movie "American Gangster History" has been met with failure in the United States. No theater chain is willing to show this seven-hour movie, even if there are some invalid scheduling times, no theater chain is willing to show it.
They were afraid that the movie would not even make money on electricity bills.
Although Zheng Jun understood this, he still felt that his whole body was blocked and he couldn't breathe. After being frustrated, he felt more unwilling to give in.
Zhou Yang closed his eyes.
"American Gangster History" did not go well when it was cold, and "Spider-Man" did not go well.
In the past two days, he has been looking for old and American actors, but the final outcome was cruel.
"The Lizard" is being criticized to the sky, and no one is willing to make another similar superhero movie at this time to damage their own brand.
Isn't this a joke?
No one could have imagined that things would be so awkward.
But Zhou Yang was not discouraged. Instead, he was thinking more about breaking the situation and how to break it.
The United States is a capitalist country. What capitalist countries care about most is profits. When you can generate benefits for them, they will all happily come over and lick you. But when you cannot create any benefits,
Even after you don't see any benefits, everyone will look at you like a fly, wishing you could stay where you were.
Even if "Spider-Man" is released after filming is completed, it will be as cold as "American Gangster History".
This is almost predictable.
Not to mention the American side, now many movie fans in China are also cynicizing on "Spider-Man". Most of them say that they have gone completely crazy and possessed.
so……
what to do?
"You need to prove your commercial value. In addition to publicity, you also need various channels..."
"Since there is no theater chain in the United States that wants it, then..."
A crazy idea came to Zhou Yang's mind.
At present, the box office share of China Star and SKY companies adds up to a lot of money for Zhou Yang. This money is not enough to build a theater chain industry, but it is almost enough to build a few cities in the United States.
In the office.
Zhou Yang thought about it for a long time, then took out his cell phone, hesitated, and dialed a number.
That number seemed very shocked after receiving Zhou Yang's call, and then almost screamed with excitement.
Zheng Jun, who was several meters away, felt the harshness of the screams.
Later, Zheng Jun saw Zhou Yang talking about theaters on the other end of the phone, and Zheng Jun felt the screams on the other end of the phone getting more and more excited.
After making the call, Zhou Yang did not feel much joy, but instead showed a bit of indifferent pressure on his face.
After the office was silent for a long time, Zheng Jun saw Zhou Yang turning to look at him.
"Director Zheng..."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou." Zheng Jun quickly stood up straight. Somehow, after seeing Zhou Yang's serious expression, he felt a trace of uneasiness and a trace of expectation in his heart.
"In half a month, we will have our own small cinema in the United States, and "American Gangster History" will be played in that cinema..."
"Ah, we... make our own cinema, this..." Zheng Jun became inexplicably excited, feeling a little excited.
"This is a gamble. If we win, our movie may be slightly better in the United States, but if we lose, everything will be the same as before, or even worse..." Zhou Yang said in a very calm tone.
After saying this, he subconsciously looked out the window again.
In fact, he had no idea in his heart.
He just felt a little empty.
""American Gangster History" will definitely not be too bad and will not lose money!" Zheng Jun was full of enthusiasm and did not feel Zhou Yang's complexity at all. He said very firmly, even gritting his teeth.
Zhou Yang did not respond to him, but changed the subject slightly: "Go and calculate the approximate investment required for the science fiction movie "Mineral Bottom"..."
""Mineral Bottom"?"
"Yes, haven't you always wanted to make "The Bottom of the Mine" before? I've found an assistant director for you... Of course, it's more about getting in touch with you to see if it's suitable... If it's suitable, it's best and we can chat.
If it's not appropriate to talk about the next thing, I have another plan here..."
"Um?" Zheng Jun's passionate emotions stagnated for a moment. After a while, he stared at Zhou Yang as if he was thinking of someone: "It can't be..."
While he was talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Then, Zheng Jun suddenly looked at the door and saw Chloe Peggy walking in, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with an excited expression on her face.
He shrunk, and after a while, he looked at Zhou Yang in disbelief.
"Mr. Coral Page..."
"Mr. Zhou Yang!"
Compared to the first time Zhou Yang saw Colo Peggy, Colo Peggy looks very energetic now.
When he greeted Zhou Yang, his mood was very contagious, like a general about to go on an expedition.
After Ke Luo Peiqi said hello to Zhou Yang, she glanced at Zheng Jun and nodded along with Zheng Jun, which was regarded as saying hello.
Zheng Jun looked at Zhou Yang.
He naturally knows Chloe Page, and even knows her better than anyone else.
Zhou Yang had to hold back to watch the movie "Lizard Man", but Zheng Jun watched it from beginning to end.
After reading it, although he felt a little physical discomfort, he felt more regretful. A few days ago, he had talked with Zhou Yang about Cologne. It was a pity that Peggy just went astray for a while. If it could be corrected again,
Come here, maybe you can become popular again, after all, you have the foundation in all aspects.
No one could have imagined that Mr. Zhou would actually take him seriously and actually seek him out.
"This is a confidentiality agreement, Mr. Coro Peggy. No one can leak the content or words we talked about today. You sign this agreement first, and then we will talk..."
"Ah, okay."
When Coro Peggy saw Zhou Yang's serious expression, she was naturally a little curious. Then she nodded, took the confidentiality agreement handed over by Zhou Yang, and read it carefully.
The content in the confidentiality agreement is not complicated, and it probably means what Zhou Yang said...
After seeing that there was no problem, Chloe Peggy signed her name.
Zhou Yang looked at Koro Peggy.
Two days ago, after Chloe Peggy left, Zhou Yang endured his physical discomfort and read "Lizard Man" again. After reading it, he came to a conclusion.
"Spider-Man" cannot be filmed together with Chloë Page. His ideas are far from my own. However, the script of "The Mine" written by Zheng Jun before can be filmed in this way. The premise is that the scenes in the movie must be included.
Some "uncanny valley" effects need to be adjusted.
After Zhou Yang thought about it for a while, he felt that if Chloe Peggy and Zheng Jun worked well together, they might really be able to take "Mineral Bottom" to a higher level.
When the idea came out, Zhou Yang did not rush to make a decision, but carefully watched some of the science fiction movies that Chloë Peggy had shot in the past...
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
After watching these movies, Zhou Yang felt shocked in his heart.
Even after more than ten years, these science fiction movies still look good, especially Chloë Page's personal style and highly imaginative plot scenes. It seems that there is still a market for them now.
Finally, I called Chloe Paige and asked Zheng Jun to meet with Chloe.
"Director Zheng, would you like to have a general chat about the "Mineral Bottom" project with Coro Paige?"
"It's convenient." Zheng Jun nodded without any hesitation.
Even after the "Lizard Man" incident, Zheng Jun still respects Chloe Peggy.
Chloe Page is one of the science fiction directors that Zheng Jun liked very much in the early years. In a sense, the script of "Under the Mine" written by Zheng Jun was based on the science fiction movie "Underground" written by Chloe Page.
After Zheng Jun nodded, he took out the copy of "Mineral Bottom" and the structural diagram of the earth's core creatures from his bag, and began to follow Coro Peggy to introduce his views on "Mineral Bottom".
After hearing this, Chloë Peggy gradually became excited, and then looked at this ordinary-looking, featureless Chinese director with surprise.
He found that this Chinese director's knowledge of science fiction movies was as good as any mainstream science fiction director. Especially when talking about the inner world of the earth, Chloë Peggy was shocked to find that the science fiction movie "Underground" she had shot
"It is completely incomparable to this "Mineral Bottom" script...
It is more comprehensive and vast, especially the theory about the center of the earth is even more amazing!
Chloe Peggy unconsciously began to yearn for the inner earth world described by Zheng Jun.
In the office.
Ke Luo Peiqi and Zheng Jun were chatting very enthusiastically.
Zheng Jun talked about his ideas, and Coro Peggy added some logic and the background of the monsters based on the ideas, as well as some adjustments to their appearance...
Zhou Yang listened silently.
About a few hours later, when the two of them had almost perfected the inner earth world, a smile appeared on Zhou Yang's face.
"By the way, I want to add something more to the movie "Mineral Bottom"..."
"what?"
"Relics of the Earth's Inner Civilization..."
"Um?"
"I want to use the movie "Mineral Bottom" to open up the super monster universe... This is my idea. Well, I also drew a few monsters. Their names are Godzilla and King Kong. Of course, these two
Monsters will not affect the main plot of "Mineral Bottom". Some ancient ruins in the center of the earth can be used as fleeting backgrounds or easter eggs..."
"..."
In the office.
Ke Luo Peiqi and Zheng Jun watched Zhou Yang take out two recently painted pictures from the drawer, and then handed the pictures to them.
After Chloe Peggy and Zheng Jun took over the picture, they were all shocked.
