When Anthony received Zhou Yang's call, he had a smile on his face. When faced with Zhou Yang's invitation, he listened to the whole process.
Neither showed impatience nor agreed to leave Hollywood and come to Delaware.
Although the script of the movie "Silence of the Lambs" is indeed very attractive, he has always maintained a wait-and-see attitude.
Zhou Yang's current identity is relatively sensitive and he has little to rely on in Hollywood. It is extremely difficult for his own movies to be released through normal channels in Hollywood. No matter how good the movie is, what's the use?
Although he admired this talented little brother who came from China, in the end it was just appreciation, and this appreciation was not worthy of his investment in Zhou Yang.
but.....
Two days later, when Zhou Yang sent him a box of tea, he still accepted it and was very curious to make a cup of tea and drink it like in the movie.
I watched "Brokeback Mountain" a few days ago, and it was one of the few movies that made him teary-eyed and yet full of praise for it.
The character Zhao Zhen played in the movie was outstanding, especially when talking about China's "elegant" tea culture. The richness of the tea culture also made him curious as a former aristocrat.
"Are these leaves really good for health and wellness as shown in the movie?" Curiosity drove him to make a cup of tea.
After brewing a cup of tea, the tea was so fragrant that I couldn't help but take a sip.
The entrance is slightly bitter, but then it gradually becomes sweet, and then slowly turns from sweet to mellow. [Tea is like life, light and flavorful; open-minded and contented]
He closed his eyes.
I recall that in "Brokeback Mountain", the taciturn but full of oriental mystery Zhao Zhen looked at Brokeback Mountain in the distance and said these words in loneliness.
He recalled these words carefully and found them very philosophical. When he opened his eyes, he found that the tea tasted better and better as he drank.
The studios for "Spider-Man" were mainly set up in Delaware, but the most important filming location was Fifth Avenue in New York.
This is a newly emerging place integrating finance, fashion and shopping.
The rent for shooting here is quite expensive. In the most prosperous area, the cost of filming "Spider-Man" here is more than 10 million yuan in terms of per minute.
At first, when Zhou Yang saw the bill of more than 10 million yuan, he felt extremely sad. He had completely exceeded his budget.
"Do we really want to shoot on Fifth Avenue in New York?"
"In fact, there are many prosperous areas in Delaware. There is no need for us to rent these storefronts..." "Also, Mr. Zhou, I don't understand why we leave the filming to Colo. Pei.
Qilai, Chloë Peggy used to be a very powerful Hollywood science fiction director, but the failure of "Lizard Man" has proved that he can no longer keep up with the times..."
March 2. New York.
The crew of "Spider-Man", in the temporary office.
The crew leader Li Qiang came over and specifically talked to Zhou Yang about this matter, his eyes full of complexity.
"Spider-Man" is like a money-burning machine. Since the filming of this project, this machine has been gobbling up money like crazy. Half of the movie has not been shot. Everyone on the crew is saving money very carefully, but it is still burning money.
I lost nearly 30 million yuan.
Li Qiang persuaded Zhou Yang on the phone and questioned Chloë Peggy's ability. He felt that it was really irrational for Zhou Yang to bring Chloë Page into the crew of "Spider-Man" and let her serve as the film's location director.
Behavior.
The filming of the New York streets in the movie "Spider-Man" was all done by Zhou Yang to Chloë Paige, and the Fifth Street was also chosen by Chloë Page.
It would be fine if Chloë Paige's "The Lizard" became a hit, but "The Lizard" was a blockbuster superhero movie that made the whole of Hollywood laugh at it.
Li Qiang, who originally had no confidence in "Spider-Man", is even less confident now. Under such circumstances, Li Qiang feels that the cheaper the company's investment in "Spider-Man" is, the better.
"Brother Li, go ahead and do your work first, I'll think about it again."
Zhou Yang took the bill from Li Qiang and the shooting plan of Chloë Paige in New York. After being silent for a long time, he finally looked up at Li Qiang and smiled.
Li Qiang hesitated to speak, but after seeing Zhou Yang's expression, he finally nodded and left the office.
He was particularly worried about the future of "Spider-Man", but after all, he was a migrant worker who followed Zhou Yang. He could express his opinions, but he could only support any decision Zhou Yang made.
After Li Qiang left, Zhou Yang looked at the bill, and then took a look at the filming plan for "Silence of the Lambs".
He has too many things to be busy with during this period, and every decision is related to the future of the company.
Finally, he rubbed his tired temples and made a call to Chloë Peggy. Not long after making the call, Chloé Page knocked on the door and walked into the office.
He took the information and talked a lot about the movie with Zhou Yang. He is a person who pursues realism in any movie.
Even though "The Lizard" made him feel like a failure and was ridiculed by Hollywood, he still felt that "Spider-Man" wanted to combine reality and special effects, and many places had to be physically shot.
"Mr. Coral Page..." "Yes." "Just do it." "Okay!"
When Ke Luo Pei Qi saw Zhou Yang's frown relaxed, Ke Luo Pei Qi instinctively breathed a sigh of relief and then laughed: "Mr. Zhou Yang, you were right to invest in me.
You won’t regret it!」
Zhou Yang slowly narrowed his eyes after looking at the leaving figure of Coro Peggy. The cold and chill of winter gradually ended.
In March, the grass grows and the orioles fly.
As if entering a new era, the Chinese film industry is becoming more and more vibrant.
Django, who had been silent for a long time and was completely beaten, was wreaking havoc in the Chinese film industry with "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", which was almost like a massacre.
This Oriental fantasy movie premiered with 40 million yuan, breaking the historical record of Chinese local movies. Every day since then, under the deliberate protection of relevant departments, the movie box office has been rising steadily, and it has become a milestone movie in Chinese movies.
In February, for the whole month, Jiang Ge was at the top of the list of Chinese directors. Countless people regarded Jiang Ge as the number one young director of the sixth generation in China, completely eclipsing Zhou Yang.
[The box office of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" exceeded 700 million! The 800 million milestone is not a dream!] [The financial backer behind "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is exposed! 】
[This landmark work of Chinese cinema almost ran out of money to shoot!] [Django was not taken seriously in Xinghui!]
[The investment behind "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is actually China Star!] [The story Jiang Ge and Zhou Yang have to tell...
[....]
In February, Jiang Ge was immersed in the joy of being the number one director in China, feeling endless glory and enjoying the spotlight.
But everything seemed like a dream. Then, the dream suddenly woke up.
March 3rd.
Amid countless cheers and praises, the total box office of the "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" movie exceeded an astonishing RMB 700 million, second only to the "Infernal Affairs"...
Everyone knows that "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" has exceeded 800 million. It is only a matter of time. Hollywood movies will be released in late March. In the first half of March, they are basically local Chinese movies and there are no blockbusters.
This should have been something that excited Django.
He proved his ability and also proved that he is no worse than Zhou Yang! However...
Right at this stall!
The entire Internet is filled with all kinds of breaking news about the "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" movie project before its launch...
Some people reported that before Jiang Ge's "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" project was launched, Xinghui was not optimistic about it and did not want to help Jiang Ge invest. Jiang Ge could only find a way to attract investment on his own...
It was revealed that Django worked hard for this movie for many years before finally completing it.
.
There are even more revelations that all the investments behind "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" were dug out, and photos of Jiang Ge and Feng Kai chatting were even posted on the Internet...
...
A series of revelations have made "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", a movie that has been released for more than a month, once again become a hot search topic and the center of attention.
Although it was not stated explicitly, the meaning was self-evident. Chinese filmmakers were in an uproar!
"When I saw Xiao Jiang being pitiful, I gave him a hand. I told Mr. Li very early on that the movie "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" was worth investing in, but you just didn't believe it. What does this have to do with me?"
"I have no idea that Xiao Jiang and Feng Kai have any contact with those in the Zhou Yang faction. When I solicited investment, I just wanted to help Xiao Jiang, that's all! I'll say it again, that's all, nothing at all.
What a conspiracy!"
"..."
"Whether you believe it or not, this is reality!"..."
"Mr. Li, tell me, my attitude lies here. I have so many directors now, all of whom are affiliated with your company for filming. Your company is the producer. If you believe me, give them
Bet more
For some money, Zhou Yang’s Huaxing is going to invest a lot of money in them!”
"What you do with Xiao Jiang is your business, but let me tell you, you don't want Xiao Jiang. The people over at Huaxing are eager to... Mr. Li, I am also for our China Film Association, Feng Minmin and Feng Min
The president left me a huge mess, and I was also very anxious..."
"You must pay attention to Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang is very talented!" On the morning of March 4th.
Jiang Ge stood at the door of Li Zhongjun's office with a gloomy face.
The sound insulation effect of the office was pretty good, but the sound of Zhou Yilin scratching his throat made Jiang Ge hear it very clearly.
When Jiang Ge heard Zhou Yilin speak for him, the anger in his heart about being deceived became slightly better.
Then...
The voices of the two slowly became softer. It was obvious that the two of them were talking about something.
About half an hour later, he saw Zhou Yilin walking out with a smile on his face.
Obviously, he had secured a large amount of investment from Xinghui for his directors. When Zhou Yilin saw Jiang Ge, his face began to become serious.
"My suggestion is that you leave Xinghui!"
"Li Zhongjun, there is no pattern. If you stay, you will only be suspected..." "Go to Huaxing!"
I don't know if it was an illusion...Django heard this voice.
