North America usually refers to regions such as the United States, Canada and Greenland, and is one of the most economically developed regions in the world.
George Lusenko is the head of other North American film industries except the United States. In the early years, this old man was once a passionate young man who dreamed of being a director. He also made several movies, but he really didn't have this aspect.
With his talent and bad reputation at the box office, he had no choice but to inherit his family's inheritance and become a happy fat house and film businessman.
Liang Xiaolong's "Dragon and Tiger Fight", China's first exported kung fu film, was unearthed by his family.
When everyone felt that this movie was of little value, his family resisted the pressure and bought all the overseas broadcast rights of the movie. In the end, while saving the "Dragon and Tiger Fight", it also brought Liang Xiaolong back to life.
This unknown Chinese kung fu master was promoted to the whole world, and finally blossomed with astonishing brilliance and became a world-class kung fu master.
later……
With the passing of Liang Xiaolong, Chinese kung fu movies experienced a trough. Then Fang Lung reappeared, which pulled kung fu movies out of the trough, but it only pulled them out and did not move to a new height.
Zhou Yang's office is very simple.
On a desk, there are a lot of information and books.
The desk is very cheap. According to George Lusenko's estimate, this desk costs less than a thousand dollars. The books on the desk are all over the place, including psychology, business, and art.
, there are movies...
There are no world-famous paintings hanging on the walls of the office. They are all white and simple, and there are even no musical instruments. In fact, after looking at it, it is really hard to believe that this is the office of a "master of music creation".
The only thing that surprised George Lusenk was the small tea room of about ten square meters next to the office.
The tea table seems to be carefully carved from the roots of a giant tree. The horizontal and vertical textures are very close to nature, but without losing the artistic charm, especially the box of tea leaves on the tea table.
The exquisiteness of the packaging made George Lusenko feel that it was an extremely noble work of art.
"Mr. George Lusenk, sit down..."
"OK!"
When Zhou Yang saw George Lusenk, he had a gentle smile on his face, carefully opened the tea box, and carefully made a cup of tea for George Lusenk.
I don’t know if it was because he had been to Vienna and listened to the saxophone song "Going Home" composed by Zhou Yang, or if it was because of master-level music such as "The Wedding March". George Lusenk instinctively felt it from this Chinese person.
It has a sense of elegance that comes from art. This sense of elegance is extremely noble, especially the "gentle and elegant" look when making tea. It seems that the body is born with a certain "aristocratic" temperament, which is unbearable.
Then he stood in awe.
Before George Lusenko met Zhou Yang, he thought of countless business strategies in his mind.
For example, first talk to Zhou Yang about "Spider-Man", the current predicament Zhou Yang is in, the future of "Spider-Man", his appearance, being the savior of "Spider-Man", etc.
They lowered the price or even bought out the screening rights.
but……
Zhou Yang didn't seem to have any intention of talking about movies with George Lusenk.
Like an old friend, he chatted with George Lusenk about tea and the Chinese tea culture...
If we talk about coffee, George Lusenko can talk a lot, but tea is George Lusenko's blind spot. He desperately wants to change the topic to movies, or to the field he is best at, but every time he comes to
On the lips, but unable to say anything, instead I listened to Zhou Yang chatting vividly about mythical stories about tea.
Some were strange, some were shocking, some were astonishing, some were lamenting the miraculous craftsmanship of China. At first, he could talk to Zhou Yang rationally, but in the end, he could only marvel at the magic and profoundness of Chinese culture.
An hour passed while drinking tea and listening to stories.
Although he was not very good at tea tasting, listening to the story and listening to Zhou Yang describing the beauty of tea made George Lusenko feel inexplicably overflowing with the fragrance of tea, and he couldn't help but want to admire it.
"Mr. George Lusenk, this small box of tea is for you!"
"Ah, this, this, Mr. Zhou Yang, how can this be done? This..."
"Mr. George Lusenko, don't think this is just a small box. Every gram is more precious than gold. It grows on cliffs, has been exposed to hundreds of years of sunshine and hundreds of years of wind, and finally combines the essence of heaven and earth.
tea……"
"Mr. Zhou Yang, did you create such amazing music after drinking this tea?"
"Not entirely, but it can indeed provide some inspiration and keep your mind clear when you are sleepy..."
"good!"
George Lusenko was dumbfounded as he listened to Zhou Yang talk about the wonders of tea. When Zhou Yang handed over the small bag of tea, he couldn't help but shake his hands slightly. He felt that these few taels of tea weighed a thousand catties.
.
Thinking back to Zhou Yang's experience in China, from a humble and indebted young man to filming movies with good box office, to composing world-class famous songs, which are praised by world-class musicians...
George Lusenk actually felt the value of this tea was even more horrifying, and felt a bit of honor in his heart.
"Mr. George Lusenko, my idea for the movie "Spider-Man" is actually very simple. I am very confident that this is a hit movie, and I can come up with more hit movies.
Month... In fact, I also have a science fiction movie called "Mineral Bottom", which is only partially completed at the moment..."
"..."
George Lusenk looked at Zhou Yang.
This Chinese man is really extremely confident.
His eyes were radiating light. Although this light was not particularly sharp and did not look like a sword, it made him feel inexplicably ashamed of himself.
George Lusenko has met countless people in his life, but rarely like today. He obviously had countless business plans that he wanted to talk about, but in the end, he was forced to suppress them by the "plan" Zhou Yang said.
He said he wanted to build a Delaware movie base.
It's obviously a fantasy, but it's hard to doubt.
This Chinese man rose from humble beginnings. Information shows that he has been questioned and ridiculed by many people, but he has never been a hit in every movie.
This is a very rare director in the history of film...
Moreover, his resume clearly shows that he has never accepted any real music creation, but he is extremely talented in music creation, as amazing as a god.
George Lusenk nodded instinctively.
He believed it!
I believed in all of Zhou Yang's plans and signed the North American screening rights for "Spider-Man" and subsequent films from Zhou Yang's Huaxing Company at a very high share price.
When leaving, George Lusenko did not feel disappointed because of this setback, but instead felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.
"In the near future, many musicians will come here to perform, and I will be the first to invite you to come and listen to that performance..."
Especially after Zhou Yang and George Lusenk walked out of the house, Zhou Yang pointed to the distance and said something to George Lusenk. George Lusenk instantly felt his blood surge.
……………………
Night falls.
Everything is silent.
After Zhou Yang finished his work for the day, he leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
He felt like he had changed.
Especially when chatting with George Lusenk, Zhou Yang had an extremely strong sense of confidence inexplicably.
This sense of self-confidence allowed him to methodically control all the aura in the office, drawing George Lutzen into his own world.
Zhou Yang turned his head and looked at the tea leaves on the table. He suddenly felt a little inexplicable shame.
He subconsciously criticized himself and felt a little shameless.
The tea leaves on the table were indeed picked from the cliffs. The villagers in Qingshui Village also said that the tea trees were at least a hundred years old.
But the story about tea, about the wind and rain, about how precious it is...
These were all made up by Zhou Yang casually.
After writing so many scripts and reading so much Chinese culture, Zhou Yang almost formed a conditioned reflex. The stories he picked up casually could even stand up to scrutiny and be well-founded.
【We never sell products, we sell concepts!】
[The best way to sell a concept is to tell stories, feelings, and values!]
Zhou Yang picked up a book called "The True Truth of the World" in the drawer and turned to the bookmarked page.
After criticizing himself for a long time, he finally stopped, and then continued to lean on the chair without any psychological burden, and continued to close his eyes and meditate.
Wait until early morning...
Xu Mei knocked on the door and walked in after getting permission.
"Mr. Zhou, the box office of "Spider-Man" has exceeded 8 million! In North America, George Lusenko has signed contracts with many theaters, and it will be released tomorrow. Tomorrow, if everything goes well, our "Spider-Man" box office
It can exceed tens of millions of dollars!”
"The box office of "King Kong Tiger" has declined. Today it is only 20 million US dollars. This movie has insufficient stamina. Although we have been showing it for so many days, the occupancy rate is still above 70%. "King Kong Tiger" is a complete hit.
"If we can sign another contract with the four major theaters for screening, we will most likely challenge "King Kong Tiger", which will be the first of its kind..."
"..."
Xu Mei excitedly reported the box office to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang nodded. At first he was still listening to Xu Mei's words, but then he began to lean on the chair and fell asleep.
……………………
“‘Spider-Man’ was released in North America and the response was very good!”
"..."
The evening of July 3rd.
Tony Orman, the director of "Tiger", is very dissatisfied with the performance of "Tiger" today.
Elsewhere outside the United States, attendance is declining and ticket sales seem to be dwindling with each show.
Tony Orman frowned in the office.
When the assistant looked for the reason for the box office decline of "King Kong", Tony Orman's expression changed instantly.
He suddenly had a very bad idea.
In North America except the United States, "Spider-Man" is very likely to compete with "King Kong" at the box office...
