After returning to China, Zhou Yang has always maintained a good sleep.
Well, originally Zhou Yang was supposed to participate in various planning and on-site directing of the Olympic Games. Many people from relevant departments had invited him. Shen Changwei even wanted Zhou Yang to provide advice on the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, but in the end Zhou Yang gave it to him. Rejected.
On the one hand, I was very tired when I was in the United States. I naturally wanted to have a good rest after finally having some free time. On the other hand, I have been a little tired recently. I feel that such a national-level event is so tiring, and I can only talk a few words on the side. Apart from talking, Zhou Yang really can't do anything else.
Zhou Yang exercised for half an hour and after having breakfast, he heard the phone ring.
The call was from Christian over there in the United States. He told Zhou Yang good news. The support rate of black congressman Olson in various states has skyrocketed. There is a tendency to suppress white congressmen. He is very likely to become the first black man in Lao America. After Congressman told him this, Christian talked a lot about Hollywood and Oscars with Zhou Yang. The general idea was that after Congressman Olson was elected president, some measures would be introduced. By then, Zhou Yang could naturally Back in Hollywood to make a movie, Christian talked with Zhou Yang about many things about the future of the American film industry...
In the past, Zhou Yang would have been very happy when he heard this news, but since he came to Delaware and since "Spider-Man" became a big hit, Zhou Yang has no worries about Christian's plans for the future. It's even like listening to someone else's story...
Christian naturally felt Zhou Yang's indifference towards this matter, and finally began to tentatively ask Zhou Yang some sensitive questions.
But Zhou Yang's answer was with a smile on his face and he shook his head very calmly: "It's no longer necessary. After leaving Hollywood, I never thought about going back..."
"It is undeniable that "Spider-Man" has become a dark horse among superheroes. However, Hollywood is the world's movie palace, and its resources, film industry, and film assembly lines..."
"I understand all these principles, but... Mr. Christian, these have nothing to do with me. I have my own theater chain. Although it is very weak, as long as there are movies released and the reputation is good, I will not lose money..."
"Do you have that many movies?"
"Yes! And it's not just movies..."
"More than just movies? What else?"
"a lot of things……"
When the other end of the phone heard Zhou Yang's answer, he was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed and said nothing more.
After hanging up the phone, the sun shone on Zhou Yang's face. Zhou Yang squinted his eyes. After looking at the sky by the window, Zhou Yang changed his clothes and walked out of the villa.
Outside the villa...
Xu Mei has been waiting for a long time.
When she saw Zhou Yang coming out, she opened the car door immediately. After Zhou Yang got in the car, she began to report to Zhou Yang the box office of movies such as "Spider-Man" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
inside the car.
She excitedly told Zhou Yang that the box office of "Spider-Man" in China had reached 1.5 billion yuan!
After the film is released in a few days, it will most likely reach the astonishing height of 1.6 billion. It will be a landmark work for "superheroes". Even if it is placed on a global scale, this is still an extremely amazing movie.
Zhou Yang acted very calmly and just nodded, as if a movie with a box office of more than 1 billion was just a number.
After Xu Mei reported the release time of "Spider-Man", she told Zhou Yang about the situation of the Hollywood movie "The Bottom". Zheng Jun, the director of "The Bottom", was eyeing another Hollywood movie "The Magician".
Ryan" is planned to be released together with "Wizard Kline" and compete with it.
When Xu Mei said this, she actually felt a little dissatisfied.
The movie "Wizard Kline" is a movie adapted from a world-class best-selling book. Warner invested US$300 million in it, and everyone at Warner is very ambitious.
Although "Wizard Crane" chose to change its schedule during the chaotic current situation in China, the background of this movie is extremely shocking...
As for "Under the Mine", this movie called "Journey to the Center of the Earth" has no mass base at all. Although Zheng Jun has made a name for himself in the United States with "American Gangster History", he is only a novice Chinese director after all. In this way
It is definitely a very unwise act for a movie to encounter "Wizard Kline", and more importantly, a lot of money earned by "Spider-Man" was invested in the special effects shooting of "Mineral". If it is
If "Magician Klein" fails, then although Huaxing will not return to the pre-liberation period, it will definitely suffer heavy losses...
However, Zhou Yang laughed after listening to it without any worries.
"Director Zheng is an extremely talented and capable director... There is no guarantee of what level this film will reach, but it will definitely not be a hit."
Xu Mei opened her mouth and looked at Zhou Yang, whose eyes were shining with confidence, as if he was in control of everything. Xu Mei finally nodded, and then chatted with Zhou Yang about today's schedule.
"Mr. Zhou, I went to Baofeng Animation headquarters today. The first episode of "Slam Dunk" will be officially premiered on Soku Video...Xue Ning, Mr. Xue is already waiting in the company. It will be premiered after you complete the review...
…”
"Oh, okay." Zhou Yang nodded.
…………………………
The predecessor of Baofeng Animation is Baofeng Studio.
It is a studio formed by several animation enthusiasts. It once produced an animation "Jingwu Little Heroes", but unfortunately the results were really bad. Later, when the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, I met Zhou Yang and met "The Little Hero".
"Those Things About the Nian Rabbit" allowed the studio to officially get back from the brink of collapse and take its first sip of soup in this upcoming great era.
Xue Ning was wearing black silk professional attire and had been waiting at the door of the company for a long time.
She was both looking forward to it and nervous. She looked at the mirror next to her from time to time and saw that although she was a homebody who stayed in front of the computer all year round, she still had a pretty face and a tall figure. Especially when she was wearing black silk professional attire, she looked a bit...
After a little bit of charm, I felt a little more confident.
"Mr. Xue, don't be nervous..."
"I'm not nervous. By the way, how many minutes does it take for Mr. Zhou to come over?"
"I just contacted Sister Xu Mei, about five minutes ago..."
"Oh, let me go to the toilet first?"
"Ah, Mr. Xue, are you going to the toilet now?"
"Then I'd better hold it in for a while."
"..."
"Slam Dunk" is Baofeng Company's second animation. Although the animation "That Rabbit That Year" was very successful and made the company a lot of money, Xue Ning still felt uneasy in his heart, especially
When I think about meeting Zhou Yang, I feel like in ancient times when the emperor came out for inspection and the local officials trembled.
Zhou Yang existed like a god in her heart. Last night, she stayed up all night, simulating the situation when Zhou Yang came to Baofeng Company for inspection N times, but when she got closer, those simulated scenes were no longer there.
I couldn't get it out, and my heart was pounding so nervously that it seemed like it would jump out of my throat at any moment.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Xue Ning heard a sound coming from the parking lot in the distance.
Then she walked over instinctively. When she saw Zhou Yang getting off the car, she opened her mouth for a long time, unable to hold back the words she had thought about.
"Mr. Xue..."
"Zhou, Mr. Zhou, please, please quickly..."
Xue Ning didn't even know why she was so nervous. She only knew that her tongue was tied. After she barely kept calm and welcomed Zhou Yang in, she felt that her back was wet.
Later, she took Zhou Yang into the premiere premiere hall of "Slam Dunk" and took Zhou Yang to watch the first four pilot episodes of "Slam Dunk"...
When the animation started playing, her attention was not on the animation at all, but looked at Zhou Yang's cheek from time to time, fearing that the first four episodes of "Slam Dunk" would not meet Zhou Yang's expectations.
These things were all done by Zhang Xiaoya before. Although she is the person in charge of Baofeng Animation, these days, she is somehow becoming more and more like a otaku with a bit of social fear, especially after seeing Zhou Yang on the Internet.
After Zhang Xiaoya's movie broke various records and its international influence was so terrifying, the pressure became even greater. I was afraid that after Zhang Xiaoya ran away from Laomei, she would hold back Baofeng Animation...
Fortunately, Zhou Yang was very satisfied after watching the first four episodes.
When Zhou Yang nodded, smiled and praised the animation for being very well done, she subconsciously became excited, and when she was about to say something, there were footsteps outside the hall.
When she turned around, she saw Miao Miao from the Soku video website. Mr. Miao was here...
Miao Miao is the president of Zhou Yang's fan club and Zhou Yang's partner. Although her Xingyang Cinema Line has been established in China for a relatively short time, with the help of several of Zhou Yang's movies, its momentum is no less than that of other established brands.
The theater chain, coupled with the legendary experience of "Spider-Man" overseas, have made Miao Miao become a business goddess with both wealth and appearance sought after by countless young people...
"Mr. Miao, why are you here now? We will go to your Soku Video headquarters in more than ten minutes..."
"I'm here to pick up Mr. Zhou..."
"ah?"
"I bought a Rolls-Royce to celebrate Soku's upcoming ranking as the number one video website in China. I am also preparing to celebrate in advance that "Slam Dunk" has surpassed "Iron Slam Dunk" to become the No. 1 Japanese comic and dominate all R-books.
An anime!”
"..."
Miao Miao walked in cheerfully, with a hint of coquettishness and domineeringness as she spoke these words. Then, regardless of Xu Mei's blankness, she happily trotted towards Zhou Yang. Under Xue Ning's confusion,
Next, I held Zhou Yang’s hand and said a lot of things excitedly...
……………………
August 7th.
24 hours countdown to the Olympic Games.
Following the news that "Spider-Man" reached the top spot in the Chinese film industry, incredible but extremely exciting news also came from the Chinese animation industry.
The animation "Slam Dunk", an animation owned by Huaxing Company and participated in the creation and planning by Zhou Yang, topped the list of Chinese animation in terms of clicks and views on the first day of its premiere, approaching the R region...
This news shocked Zhao Yan, Xu Mei's former best friend who was once responsible for animation peripheral operations and missed "Those Things That Rabbit That Year" because of contempt.
