"Director Zhou, it is the greatest luck of my life for me, Feng Kai, to meet you. I am very lucky that I stayed in "The Bottom of the Mine" and did not leave..."
"Director Zhou, thank you, really thank you, I have learned so much from you..."
"Director Zhou, let me toast you. If you don't know how to drink, just drink!"
Under dim incandescent light.
In the room, a group of people were eating and drinking around a big round table.
This is the first time the cast of "The Crow" has had a dinner together.
Although it is not rich, the atmosphere is very good.
Feng Kai drank one glass after another.
He drank until his face turned red and his head felt dizzy, but he toasted Zhou Yang one cup after another.
He didn't know how much he drank, nor how much he said while drunk.
Even while drinking, he felt like he was crying very unsatisfactorily.
There is warmth, touching, grievance, and longing for the future.
For more than a month, he felt that his emotions were constantly ups and downs like a roller coaster, and he realized that life is full of changes and things are impermanent.
Although people are so arrogant among flowers and envy, they can easily become swollen and lose their way. Although it is painful at the lowest point, it is easy to wake up, and it is easier to recognize and examine oneself.
Everyone is growing, and so is he.
The feeling of regaining something lost is really good.
Zhou Yang sat with Wang Shuai, surrounded by people from the crew...
Contrary to their indifference towards Feng Kai, this staff member, who was always very unruly and had an eye on him, was very enthusiastic towards Zhou Yang. They looked at Zhou Yang with only respect and amazement in their eyes.
He graduated from a third-rate university, was deceived into joining the crew with debts, repaired cameras, wrote the script of "Mineral Bottom", and made movies with actors who had no acting experience and were not even third-rate...
When they heard Zhou Yang's deeds for the first time, they felt magical and incredible.
There is such a talented person in this world, he is simply the Chinese version of James Bunt.
Immediately afterwards, they were half of Zhou Yang's witnesses!
They witnessed Zhou Yang's expedition to Berlin, and on the Berlin stage, when no one was optimistic about it, he defeated "Hero" and won the grand prize, becoming the youngest director at this Berlin International Film Festival...
They look down on many directors who embroider pillows in the entertainment industry, but they admire the truly powerful ones, and even more admire the influential figures who step up from the bottom and shock everyone!
Zhou Yang was very happy and even a little excited when he faced everyone's gaze.
He felt the trust these people had in him, but then he felt some inexplicable uneasiness and fear.
He was afraid that he would let these people down.
After the welcome banquet ended, everyone staggered back to their respective rooms, while Zhou Yang walked outside to breathe in the fresh air.
Wang Shuai followed and walked out.
"Xiao Zhou……"
"ah?"
"I originally planned to let you play the role of Hong Degui in the original crew of "The Crow", but now, I always feel that you are not suitable for this role..." Wang Shuai was drunk, and he squinted his eyes under the moonlight.
Zhou Yang, after looking up and down again, shook his head.
"Is my understanding of the character wrong?"
"There is no deviation in my understanding of the character, but your appearance does not match Hong Degui. Although you have tanned a little these days, it is not enough. I don't know if your previous dress was a bit too handsome, like a little fresh meat.
, I can no longer find the feeling I had in "The Bottom of the Mine" in you now..." Wang Shuai looked Zhou Yang up and down, and finally shook his head.
When he saw the role of the protagonist in "Under the Mine", his eyes lit up. He was simple and naive, which fit that feeling. As long as he deepened it a little more, the feeling would be stronger and he could
create a strong sense of conflict
But later, after coming into contact with Zhou Yang, he felt that this smell was not right.
Although Zhou Yang was naive and seemed to be serious, he lacked that sense of ignorance in his heart. Especially when Zhou Yang changed his appearance and became a handsome guy, he became more and more disappointed.
It is absolutely impossible for a young man who grew up in the countryside and is used to farm work to be so handsome. The most important thing is that Zhou Yang's temperament is not in line with Hong Degui's temperament.
"..." Zhou Yang remained silent after listening.
"Be the assistant director. It would be better if you help Feng Kai with the controls. I'm afraid I will suddenly get angry while filming..." Wang Shuai finally said what he had been holding in his heart for a long time.
"Director Wang, can we use the actors from "Under the Mine" for the movie's actors?" Zhou Yang did not answer Wang Shuai's words, but suddenly changed the topic.
"We can ask them to come over and audition..."
"Oh, then I'll call them tomorrow and ask them to come over for an audition..."
"Um."
"Director Wang, give me half a month. If I still don't meet your requirements after half a month, I can do anything."
"good!"
…………………………
"After "The Mine" became a hit, everyone, including the editor himself, thought that Zhou Yang would be like other directors, appearing on various occasions all day long to talk about all the hardships and difficulties he had along the way... After all,
Behind every successful person in these years, there will be a short or long mental journey..."
"They often cross their legs in front of the media and recount scenes of being despised, ridiculed, suppressed, and bullied before they succeeded. When they talk about emotional moments, they will burst into tears and choke with sobs."
"I have to admit that many successful people like to say this, and many viewers prefer to hear this. After all, everyone is living in pain, and they all hope to take a sip of chicken soup to cheer themselves up..."
"Many people, including me, are waiting for Zhou Yang to appear in front of the media. In order to get a first-hand interview, I have stood at the door of Huaxing for five days. I use various relationships every day to get that
An exclusive interview, I am even worried that others will steal my first-hand interview..."
"Zhou Yang's own experience is like a bowl of inspirational chicken soup, with despair, troughs, rises, and beginnings..."
"Although there are many similar articles on the Internet about Zhi Zhouyang's experience, everyone knows that these so-called bystanders' revelations are far more touching than hearing these stories told by him himself. Any reporter can interview the first person.
A first-hand interview, then there is no doubt that it is a big hit!"
"However, Zhou Yang did not appear in the major media. Not only did he not appear in the major media, but he disappeared after the premiere of "Under the Mine"..."
"Many reporters are looking for him through various channels. I even asked Huaxing Company more than once, hoping to find even a hint of news about Zhou Yang, but it is a pity that Huaxing revealed nothing!"
"What happened to Zhou Yang? He was obviously successful and famous, but he disappeared when the iron was hot. I even questioned whether Zhou Yang filmed "Mineral Bottom", and whether Zhou Yang had a guilty conscience..."
"It wasn't until my cousin told me that Zhou Yang had been to their house. Later I found out where Zhou Yang had been during this time..."
"He is not immersed in the joy of success. Not only is he not, but he is using his own way to thank those who have helped him along the way..."
"Fortunately, I sneaked in on Zhou Yang in a place he didn't know, and took a series of photos. I followed his footsteps and uncovered step by step the truth about his disappearance during this period!"
"..."
March 15th.
An article entitled "Perhaps only after being displaced can one reaffirm one's original intention" was published on the homepage of the official website of "East China Entertainment".
In just half an hour, this article was forwarded more than 3,000 times, with an astonishing 10,000 comments.
In the office.
An Xiao looked at this article blankly.
In the article, there are pictures, text, and some simple photos...
"He passed by XZ, and he did not go on a pilgrimage or experience the baptism of the soul. Instead, he thanked the local old Chinese doctor Amuyi and bought a lot of tables and chairs for Amuyi's small clinic. Just because Amuyi
Mr. Yi once treated his father free of charge and stayed with the father and son for one night..."
"I originally thought that XZ's journey was almost over, and Zhou Yang would go to the next place, but what I didn't expect was that he went to the local orphanage and donated 10,000 yuan anonymously..."
As she looked at it, she was suddenly startled, and then stood up subconsciously.
During this period of time, she talked to Zhou Yang every day, but they were basically simple conversations about where Zhou Yang had been and where he planned to go next.
She only knew that he had been to XZ, but she had no idea where he went to XZ.
She saw a picture of Zhou Yang secretly leaving the orphanage from behind.
"After the donation, he went to Dali. Because my media friends in Dali arrived late, I lost him. After many efforts and verifications by media friends, we found out that he was in the school when he passed by the school for special children.
Another 20,000 yuan was donated anonymously..."
"After finishing in Dali, he took the high-speed train and left alone. Friends from the media followed him all the way and bought the same ticket with him. Later they found out that he went to Luoyang. Because of his difficult life, he owed his landlord Liang Shuang
After several months of rent, he not only paid off the rent, but then knocked on the door of the tenant next door and handed 10,000 yuan to the high school girl suffering from uremia. After a short interview, the girl who did not want to disclose
The girl named Zhou Yang told reporters that Zhou Yang had been helping her and encouraging her not to give up on the college entrance examination..."
"..."
An Xiao read it over and over again.
As I looked at it, my nose felt sour, and before I knew it, my beautiful eyes suddenly became wet.
The share of income from "Mining Bottom" has not come down, nor has the share of the two songs. Although the company gave Zhou Yang a large sum of money for the song, after reading this article, An Xiao suddenly realized that at this moment Zhou Yang
It seems like there is not a penny left on me...
The money he earned must either pay off his debts or donate all of it!
"This fool!"
An Xiao's eyes were full of complexity and she shook her head helplessly.
Just as she finished saying this, there was a knock on the door in the office.
Then, assistant Zhou Xi hurried in!
"Mr. An, good news! The "Missing Person Notice" cut into the end of "The Mine" actually allowed a parent to find his long-lost son. Now all the reporters are reporting on this matter. "The Missing"
The popularity of "Hero" is even higher than that of "Hero"!"
