Chapter 524 Before the premiere of 'Brokeback Mountain'
February 1st.
The movie "Laughing All the Way" finally took off with a box office of 580 million.
This comedy movie has caused countless controversies from its release to its release. Many filmmakers feel that this movie is just a brainless and funny fast food movie.
Chen Kai was scolded from the moment it was released to the end of the movie. Even though the box office made 580 million, Chen Kai still complained on his personal Weibo that this movie and "Crazy Stone" are two garbage.
Four days later, on February 5th, two days before New Year's Eve, "Crazy Stone" was also released together with "Time Travel" with a staggering box office of 630 million.
The overall score of "Crazy Stone" is very good, reaching 8.8 points. Without "Time Travel", the box office of "Crazy Stone" is very likely to cause a stir. After all, this is the first box office breakout in the history of Chinese movies.
600 million comedy movie, but the box office of "Time Travel" shocked countless movie fans and netizens in China.
The total box office of this movie actually reached 1.4 billion yuan!
It’s actually 200 million more than “Jaws”!
Seeing the 1.4 billion box office of "Time Travel" and the 600 million box office of "Crazy Stone", people are deeply aware of the unparalleled horror of Hollywood movies!
but······
Although the movie "Time Travel" has an amazing box office, it does not make people despair.
The underpaintings of these movies have made a lot of space for "Liao Zhai Painted Skin"...
···························
"The daily box office of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" has exceeded 30 million again. Relevant departments and major theaters are also supporting us. Only a few small-production movies have been released. Even China Star's "The Overheard" has been postponed.
Colleagues in the publicity department are also working very hard to create various topics. If this trend continues, we will become a new milestone for Chinese films!"
「······」
February 6th.
In the office.
Jiang Ge listened to his assistant reporting on the new round of data for "Liao Zhai Painted Skin".
Jiang Ge had mixed feelings in his heart.
The past January has been magical.
For Django, every day was extremely unreal, and in a trance, it was like an extremely real dream.
The box office of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is getting better and better day by day, and it has been well received on the Internet. It seems that I have realized my ideal in life.
[The first director of the new generation!]
After achieving this title that he once dreamed of in a real sense and standing at the so-called peak, Jiang Ge found that he was not as excited as he had imagined.
The employees of Xinghui looked at him strangely.
Everyone knows that although "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is produced by Xinghui, in the true sense the core team and key people are all from China Star.
At the same time, Xinghui's senior management and even Cao Bangguo gradually became indifferent to him during this period. He called Cao Bangguo several times, but Cao Bangguo did not respond.
The gap between him and Cao Bangguo became deeper and deeper, and it vaguely turned into an insurmountable ravine.
"I know it's hard for you to accept it at the moment, but without Zhou Yang's help, your "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" may not be able to produce such effects."…
"Django, wake up. You are a director, and a very talented director. A director's mission is to make good movies."
Zhou Yilin saw Jiang Ge's complicated emotions and talked to him about many topics at the end of January.
After Jiang Ge heard this, although he felt endless unwillingness in his heart, he finally chose to remain silent.
He originally thought he knew the world very well, but after getting in touch with it, he found that the world began to become more and more complex and confusing.
Feng Kai still calls him every day.
He heard the rumors in the company, and some people were talking about him possibly betraying Xinghui, so he didn't
Answer Feng Kai's call.
But even so, he is still distrusted by everyone in the company.
This is a countermeasure!
This is Hua Xing’s counterintuitive plan!
He is not an idiot. He has wanted to chat with Xinghui's boss Li Zhongjun several times, but since "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" was released, he has never seen Li Zhongjun again, not even for some non-critical meetings.
People invited him.
"I want to talk to Mr. Li."
The assistant was still reporting the various statistics of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" and saying that the film would be exported as an export film and screened overseas, but Jiang Ge had no intention of listening anymore.
He immediately put on his clothes, left the office, and walked towards Li Zhongjun's office.
··························
"Mr. Bunter, please stay and help me!"
"Mr. Zhou Yang, I only helped you for one month, and now it's timed out."
"But Spider-Man needs you, and I need you too!"
「······」
American.
"Spider-Man" crew.
James Bond was originally going to help Zhou Yang for a month.
Today is the time to say goodbye.
However, when he was about to stand up and say goodbye to Zhou Yang, he saw Zhou Yang happily walking over with a bottle of white wine and cooking a large table of dishes himself.
At first it was said that it was a farewell drink. After seeing Zhou Yang's enthusiasm, James Bunter nodded. Unable to resist the hospitality, he followed Zhou Yang to have dinner.
The food was very delicious. Every dish was something James Bunt had never tasted before. He unconsciously developed an appetite!
Night falls.
Zhou Yang, who was always taciturn at the dinner table, seemed to be a new person who was very talkative, and every word he said made James Bond feel happy, making him open up his chatterbox in an instant, and unconsciously started to talk about what he was doing.
Those days when I was a truck driver.
When he was young, James Bunt liked to watch movies. Later, when everyone was not optimistic about him, he resolutely changed his career and became a director.
Although James Bunt is talented and became an instant hit when filming "Dark Night of the Living Dead", he also experienced various twists and turns and despair...
I don't know if it was because of alcohol or other reasons, but Zhou Yang seemed to make James Bunter want to talk. He didn't even think that he would tell Zhou Yang some dusty past events one by one...
While talking, he drank, and then, before he knew it, James Bunt became drunk...
"Mr. Bunter, I have a dream. Although this dream may seem ridiculous to you, I do have such a dream. I want to make a movie in my heart..."
"In addition to "Spider-Man", I actually have a movie called "The Silence of the Lambs", and I would like to ask you to be a consultant!"
"."
In a daze, for some reason, after hearing Zhou Yang's words, James Bond felt that Zhou Yang looked very much like his former self.
They are all so devoted and eager to movies
The situation is the same. Under such circumstances of being looked down upon and suppressed by everyone, I have to climb up step by step with difficulty.
He was extremely moved and seemed to want to cry, but in the end his reason told him that he should calm down and be absolutely calm.
Then······
He heard Zhou Yang talking about "The Silence of the Lambs". After talking about "The Silence of the Lambs", James Bunter became interested. This interest was much stronger than "Spider-Man"!
But he still told himself that he must calm down.
Zhou Yang's current situation is actually very bad. He is ready to fight against Hollywood alone, or to create another Hollywood!
This is so ridiculous, so ridiculous!
This is unrealistic. Not only is it unrealistic, it is even very likely to fail and eventually retreat to China in despair.
James Bond has actually been paying attention to the movies distributed by Xingyang Cinemas these days. The total box office is terrible, and no one in the Hollywood market is watching...
However, this calm gradually began to collapse in the early morning.
Zhou Yang was still chattering to him, as if this young man always had endless energy in him.
His eyes grew redder and hotter, and his voice became louder and louder...
Vaguely, he seemed to hear Zhou Yang talking about a lot of movie ideas, but these ideas were only discussed halfway, and then, unknowingly, his appetite was whetted.
That night, he listened to Zhou Yang talking all night long.
Because he was drunk, he forgot a lot of the movie ideas Zhou Yang mentioned, but when he sobered up the next day, he suddenly had an even more ridiculous idea in his mind.
On the afternoon of February 8th.
James Bond rubbed his groggy head, and then looked at Zhou Yang, who was directing the filming of "Spider-Man".
He found strangely that he was drunk, but Zhou Yang didn't seem drunk at all. Then he suddenly realized that he was the one drinking last night, and Zhou Yang was talking.
He smiled bitterly, but still stepped forward.
"Mr. Zhou Yang."
"Mr. Bunter!"
"you win!"
When he saw Zhou Yang's surprised expression, he let out a long sigh.
He knew he had fallen into a trap.
"Thank you, Mr. Bunter!"
"Sometimes I really want to use something to carve your head open. I want to know what is hidden inside. I find it even more incredible. I actually think you can succeed! There is a one in 10,000 possibility. I think you
Can it succeed..." James Bunter then shook his head, and he himself thought it was incredible: "But just because you won, it doesn't mean that I will stay and help you now..."
"That······"
"I have to wait until February 15th to watch a movie first."
"what movie?"
""Brokeback Mountain"! Mr. Zhou Yang, are you the screenwriter of this movie?"
「······」
After Zhou Yang heard James Bond's question, he was silent at first, and then nodded.
James Bunt laughed: "After watching this movie, I will be sure of your possibility of success!"
"What about before February 15th?"
"Hey, I'll help you work again for free."
·································
February 10th.
"Brokeback Mountain", the promotional poster for this movie has quietly appeared in various media reports in Hollywood.
Niche-oriented people are ecstatic.
But the movie didn't create any sensation or waves.
Although Mary Vane is well-known in the international film circle, he is not an influential director in Hollywood.
At first, no one cared about this movie. After all, it was just an ordinary movie...
