Chapter 046: Hang it out
In front of the computer desk in the bedroom, Zhou Chen transferred the video from the camcorder memory card to the computer and watched it with Gu Xiaojiao.
They just played three scenes right.
The first is the scene where the robot Ava and the male protagonist meet for the first time.
The video started playing, Zhou Chen stood at the door of the living room, and Gu Xiaojiao stood at the door of the bedroom.
"Hello. Zhou Chen saw the other party first and said hello.
Gu Xiaojiao was lightly moved, and turned his head to look at Zhou Chen mechanically: "Hello." ”
"I'm Zhou Ming. ”
"Hello, Zhou Ming. Gu Xiaojiao walked a few steps, expressionless, and looked at Zhou Chen seriously.
"Do you have a name?"
"Yes, Ava. Gu Xiaojiao's voice was crisp and replied cleanly.
"Nice to meet you, Ava. ”
"I'm glad to meet you too. I haven't seen a new face yet, only Li Teng (male number two). ”
"It seems that I am just like you. ”
"Haven't you seen anyone else before?"
"None of them are like you. The subconscious meaning of this line is that you are a robot, different.
Ava is a highly intelligent robot and understands what this means.
Gu Xiaojiao didn't respond, and turned his head in silence, obviously not wanting to talk about this topic.
"Then we need to break the ice, do you know what I mean by that?" Zhou Chen continued.
The two of them still didn't get close, still separated from the living room.
"Yes. Gu Xiaojiao replied simply.
"What do I mean?"
"Overcome the initial social awkwardness. ”
"Okay, let's talk. ”
"Okay. Gu Xiaojiao sat down on the sofa in the living room next to Zhou Chen: "What do you want to talk about?"
"Tell me a little bit about yourself. ”
"What do you want to know?"
"Say whatever comes to mind. ”
After the first video was broadcast here, Gu Xiaojiao immediately looked at Zhou Chen expectantly.
Zhou Chen didn't speak, and played the video again.
Ava performed by Gu Xiaojiao, her body was slightly stiff, her eyes were sluggish and slow, her expression was calm, there was no change, she tilted her head and raised her feet, she was very mechanical, and it can be said that she was very accurate in her performance of the robot.
Zhou Chen groaned slightly, and then looked at Gu Xiaojiao, who was looking forward to it.
"Well, the performance is very good, but the movements don't need to be so stiff, our machine Ji is a very high artificial intelligence, and the movements are not much different from ordinary people, and some small movements show that they are different from ordinary people. However, your eyes and expressions in this scene are very well controlled, which is very good, remember to try to keep it like this in the future, unless it comes to the transformation of the characters, you can add some rich performances. ”
"Well, okay, I got it. Then let's look at the performance of the other two scenes. Gu Xiaojiao nodded seriously and looked forward to it again.
Although it was a simulation performance, it was still enjoyable to see my own performance and create a different task.
…………
"Mr. Feng, I have found out that Zhou Chen went to the United States to shoot two movies, and now they are indeed popular in North America, and one has also been nominated for the horizon unit of the Venice Film Festival. ”
A female secretary in a sassy short-haired suit walked into Feng Keqiang's office and put a document in front of Feng Keqiang as she spoke.
"Nominated for the Venice Film Festival?"
Feng Keqiang frowned and replied, picked up the document and glanced at it a few times, and his expression suddenly became ugly.
"The box office of "Witch Elisa" is 65.4 million US dollars, and the box office of "This Man is from Earth" is 18.6 million US dollars, these are all movies made by Zhou Chen, where are these data checked?"
"Mr. Feng, I contacted the people from our company's Hollywood agency to check. ”
"Yes, then what did they do before, why didn't they know to report the news back!" Feng Keqiang suddenly became angry.
"Mr. Feng, I also asked, and they asked me to explain. ”
"Explain what?!"
"Zhou Chen's two movies are both English movies, "Witch Elisa" Zhou Chen did not mark the director's name at all; "This Man is from Earth" was released by Lionsgate, the director's name is still pinyin, not specifically to check, no one would think that it was shot by Zhou Chen. ”
"What's the use of talking about this now, call Zhou Chen immediately and ask him to ...... , forget it, I'll fight it myself. ”
Feng Keqiang finished reading the entire document and saw the evaluation of the two films in some major media in the United States, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
One is the originator of pseudo-documentary horror movies, and the other is the precedent of science fiction movies without special effects.
These two small-budget films, however, have achieved a good box office and have been successful overseas, and will definitely be screened domestically in the future.
Zhou Chen will definitely be able to gain a certain amount of fame by then, and he is no longer a little director who is nothing and has no fame, and he can arrange it casually.
Once that time comes, Zhou Chen will break the news about the previous matter, then he will not be able to suppress it, and he may be investigated by the company.
Thinking of this, Feng Keqiang picked up his mobile phone with an ugly face and began to call Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen was watching the video of the game with Gu Xiaojiao, the phone rang, and when he saw the caller display, Zhou Chen directly pressed the phone.
"Why don't you answer the phone? Let's pause first, maybe Mr. Feng will talk to you about preparing for the movie." ”
Gu Xiaojiao also saw the caller ID and quickly paused the video.
"It's okay, ignore him for now. Zhou Chen thought of Feng Keqiang's tough style yesterday, so he was angry, and clicked on the video to continue watching.
"Is something wrong?" Gu Xiaojiao frowned slightly, grabbed Zhou Chen's arm and asked seriously.
"Actually, it's nothing, they just want to change the director. Zhou Chen saw Gu Xiaojiao's serious gaze, so he had to be reluctantly frank.
He didn't want to tell Gu Xiaojiao and make her worry about getting angry.
"Why, didn't you have a contract in the first place?" Gu Xiaojiao really got angry and said dissatisfiedly.
"These big companies, how do the capitalists make money yet? They first lied to me, made me agree to hire big-name actors, increase the scale of investment, and then operate secretly, and then squeezed me out with stars, and then invited other big directors, so that when the movie is more popular and famous, it will naturally make more money after it is released. ”
"Do Tianmeng Film and Television bully newcomers like this? Doesn't the circle say that they are willing to train newcomer directors?"
"yes, we're too young to just look at the surface. If you think about it carefully, who are the new directors trained by Tianmeng Film and Television in the past few years? All of them are famous best-selling writers, famous actors, and famous literary directors who have turned into filming, is there an unknown newcomer?"
Zhou Chen had already thought carefully about the situation before and after, and thought about this truth clearly.
"yes, that's what happened. Gu Xiaojiao also suddenly realized.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, when I find a way to get the project back, we will shoot it ourselves, find other big companies to distribute it, anyway, I have the money for shooting at a small cost. ”
"Then how do you get it back? Tianmeng has so much energy, backed by an Internet game company. ”
"Wait, wait until my film is shown in China. ”
"Maybe you can ask Huaying for help, didn't you sell the script of "The Great Wall" to them, and you will also participate in the filming of the film in the future?"
"Well, wait. ”
Even if you ask someone to help, you have to have the value of being helped.
Zhou Chen nodded, but he didn't say the second half of the sentence in his heart.
"He hung up on me, the young man is really immature, and there is no city. ”
Seeing the phone hung up, Feng Keqiang, who was sitting behind the desk, sneered, and was very annoyed in his heart, giving up the idea of continuing to make calls.
Let's take a closer look at those two movies and decide how to deal with Zhou Chen's matter.
