The lineup of "Sengoku" is very strong.

There is Zhang Shaolei, the new tough guy actor in the mainland, Liu Yufei, one of the four little flowers, and the veteran Hong Kong and Taiwan actor Li Keming, even the small roles in the crew are also familiar old drama bones Jiao Chanping, Zhang Zuoxiang and others.

It stands to reason that such a crew that wants to act with acting skills and good looks can definitely produce a terrifying chemical reaction, not only can it blow up various awards in Berlin, sell overseas copyrights soaring, but also return to China to sweep away the box office decline brought about by "Tianji" before, create a box office record in the film industry, and even become the leader of Chinese blockbusters again!

Xu Xiaoming, who was beaten into the hospital by Zhou Yang, thinks so, Zhou Yilin thinks so, and even An Xiao thinks so.

However......

When the gorgeous picture appeared on the screen, and the strange protagonist costume was presented in front of Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang was dumbfounded.

The movie is similar to the original world of "Warring States", except that the protagonist has become Pang Juan, and the villain has become Sun Bin.

It's a huge sense of disruption.

Of course, if you make this movie from a subversive perspective, it is no problem to be able to tell the reason, but it will cause a burst of applause.

If you shoot well, you can even turn it into a masterpiece!

But!

The picture of the mentally ill protagonist and the mentally ill emperor in the palace of the rich hall, wearing strange costumes and shouting in front of all the ministers like a madman, made Zhou Yang feel extremely torn.

He felt that he couldn't understand what all this gibberish was about......

And the editing of the movie is very problematic, generally the movie will talk more or less about the background of the characters in the movie at the beginning, and no matter how bad it is, the identity of this person will be pulled out in the lines.

However, the plot lasted for five minutes, and there were about twenty characters scattered around, basically every character was an unpopular character that Zhou Yang had never heard of, and the relationship between these unpopular characters made people see it in a fog, and they didn't know the logical relationship between them at all, some of the characters seemed to give enough shots and cards, but Zhou Yang was in a trance for a long time before realizing that this character was a marginal character.

The first 20 minutes were basically foggy, and I only felt that everyone's clothes were different, and I only felt that the pictures and special effects were really gorgeous, and the overall atmosphere was very different......

Twenty minutes later, Sun Bin finally appeared in the movie.

Then, Sun Bin played by the veteran Hong Kong Island actor Li Keming looks very obscene, not only hunchbacked, but also deliberately cut his patella himself in the plot, and then framed Pang Juan.

Zhou Yang saw a sense of separation, and the whole person was almost stunned.

Although history is written by successful people, Zhou Yang always feels a little alternative to deliberately fabricate history in order to create an alternative movie.

Of course, these are all plots that Zhou Yang can understand.

When the movie enters the second half, he finds himself like a dumbfounder.

Not only did he not understand the dialogue of the characters in the movie, but the plot in the movie went more and more in a direction he couldn't understand.

There is a love story in this movie, but love is very inexplicable, the hero and heroine kissed inexplicably because of a trivial matter, and the kissing time was full of thirty seconds, and there was a memory that appeared out of nowhere.

Zhou Yang finally understood what Wang Shuai's evaluation of Zhou Yilin as a director meant.

At the same time, he was a little dazed.

Why are great directors like Zhou Yilin and Chen Kai obviously making movies very well before, but why did they start filming to the point where people can't understand when they are filming.

From the next to the end of the plot of "Warring States", Zhou Yang was stunned because he didn't understand what the movie was talking about, he always felt that the plot of the movie was obscure, it looked very profound, as if history had been changed, but it didn't seem to have changed, especially in the suspense left in the last scene, Zhou Yang always felt that Zhou Yilin was scolding himself across the screen!

scolded himself for not having artistic talent, scolded himself for his poor comprehension, and scolded himself for not being worthy of sitting in the cinema to watch movies......

When the lights came on, Zhou Yang, who was dealing with the confused state, heard a round of applause in the back row.

“GOOD！”

"Well shot! This movie is really well made, classic! ”

"Great, this is one of the few masterpieces of Chinese films!"

“……”

Zhou Yang subconsciously turned his head and found that a large number of people in the back row looked excited, and a few of them were in tears, constantly wiping their tears with napkins.

"It's so touching!"

Is it my problem?

Perhaps, is it really my problem?

Maybe it's because I don't know how to appreciate it......

Subconsciously, Zhou Yang also applauded.

The premiere of "Sengoku" is over.

A group of reporters swarmed around Zhou Yilin and blew at him.

Zhou Yang and the others left the screening hall.

Zhang Genshui hugged Xu Li and walked out blankly......

"Big brother, your snoring is too loud, it's too rude!"

"I'm dazzled by this movie, and I'm sleepy when I look at it......"

“……”

Xu Li glanced at Zhang Genshui with some disgust, but Zhang Genshui shook his head speechlessly.

Chen Shuangbao and Zhao Zhen also walked out, their expressions were the same as Zhou Yang's, they were dazed from beginning to end, and they felt like they hadn't watched anything after watching the movie......

Probably......

They are all a bunch of people with no artistic talent.

"What do you think of this movie, Director Zhou?" Liu Tingting leaned next to Zhou Yang and asked seriously.

"This movie ......" Zhou Yang pondered for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how to describe this movie.

"I think it's a big bad movie!" Liu Tingting replied, "The people sitting next to me are very similar to extras, and they cried inexplicably......"

……………………

Zhou Yang has never commented on anyone or any movie.

After leaving, Zhou Yang didn't talk to anyone about "Warring States".

He only knew that the fans who watched the movie that day had a very high evaluation of this movie, and some even commented that this movie was a masterpiece that was not inferior to "Hero", saying that he would watch it twice, even three times, or four times......

It stands to reason that such a highly-rated movie should be sold like "Hero", but the copyright of "Warring States" is selling very poorly.

Not to mention that compared with "Hero", it is far from being compared with some small-budget films at the same film festival!

After tossing for a long time, in the end, only the Italian filmmaker bought out the copyright of "Warring States" at a not too high price.

Zhou Yang began to understand the world more and more.

February 24th.

There is only one day left before the first screening of "Mine Bottom".

Wang Shuai took Zhou Yang to the No. 6 screening hall to familiarize himself with the scene, and when he passed by the screening hall of "Warring States" and saw a large group of fans rushing to grab a place in the screening hall, Wang Shuai showed a sneer.

"Oh, cheating!"

"Director Wang, what do you mean?" Zhou Yang looked at the group of people, and when he saw that there were a few familiar figures in that group of "fans", Zhou Yang suddenly understood.

"It's just a little emotional, let's go." Wang Shuai narrowed his eyes, and then walked towards the No. 6 screening hall.

Screening Room 6 is showing the movie "Kardashian's Holiday" at this moment.

This is an innocent romantic love story, and the producers and directors wanted to create a "new era of Charlotte. Sally".

The movie is very good, and the director's standard is quite high, even if Zhou Yang can't understand foreign languages, he can understand the plot.

It's a pity that the film couldn't be shortlisted in Berlin, and the official opinion given by Berlin is that "love" can indeed be celebrated, but it is not deep enough, and some are too empty.

After Wang Shuai saw this movie, his expression suddenly became very ugly.

The movie didn't take a while and walked out in advance.

"What's the matter, Director Wang?"

"I suddenly remembered that it was an Italian movie!"

"And then?"

“……”

Wang Shuai didn't speak, just looked at Zhou Yang silently.

Zhou Yang was stared at by Wang Shuai a little hairy, and then as if he thought of something, his eyes widened.

"Could it be that Director Zhou ......?"

Could it be that Zhou Yilin privately squeezed out the time of "Mine Bottom", changed the film schedule, and gave the normal time to this "Kardashian's Holiday" in exchange for the copyright of the Italian film company?

"It's a possibility...... But not necessarily. A cold glint flashed in Wang Shuai's eyes.

……………………

Evening of February 24.

The night before the premiere of "Mine Bottom".

After the second round of screenings, "Warring States" finally sold the rights in Serbia and Berlin, Germany.

When the assistant told An Xiao the good news, An Xiao didn't have any happy look on his face, but became more and more cold.

The situation in Sengoku is terrible.

It's worse than you think.

Not to mention taking "Warring States" and "Heroes" in the ring, even if it is compared with other niche literary films released, "Warring States" may not be able to compare.

The data of "Warring States" overseas may be on the streets, not to mention returning to the capital, it is a good thing to lose less money.

An Xiao began to look at the investment projects he has made since he opened the company.

The early movie "Mine Bottom" was cheated out of an investment!

The box office of the movie "Youth" was okay, but it was only okay, it did not reach the point of being a hit, and it didn't make much money.

"Warring States"?

The situation of "Warring States" seems to be much worse than that of "Youth", and the dilemma of this film can be seen from the fact that overseas studios are not very interested in this movie.

It is understandable that domestic stars go overseas and have no box office appeal at all.

In fact, after watching the sample film of "Warring States", An Xiao had a feeling that something was not right, the sample film of "Warring States" was different from the content of the script in many places, and she realized that Zhou Yilin was taking the investor's money to make the movie he wanted to make.

Based on Zhou Yilin's brilliant achievements and the trust of data, An Xiao didn't say anything, and although this movie is the largest investor, there are actually a lot of scattered investors, and she also hopes to rely on this movie to open up overseas markets and cultivate more overseas superstars.

But this kind of data in the overseas market appeared in front of An Xiao, and An Xiao, even if he was stupid, realized that the situation was wrong!

In two days, only three copyrights were sold!

This!

"Mr. An......"

"What's wrong?"

"There's news from Huaxia!"

"What's the news?"

""Flying Against the Wind" was overtaken by "The Girl with Wings", and as soon as the song "Meet" was released, it topped the top ten of the new song list in just three hours, and now the two songs have completely surpassed "Fireworks" and "Meet You" on the singles list......" Assistant Zhong Tingting excitedly pushed open the door of the hotel and said the news.

After these news, An Xiao, who was originally a little disappointed, was slightly stunned.

Almost at the same time, there was a knock on the door.

"Mr. An......"

"Director Zhou, please take a seat, huh? Director Zhou, what are you holding in your hand? ”

"Copyright Contract ...... 'Mine Bottom'"

"Huh? Isn't the premiere of "Mine Bottom" tomorrow? An Xiao was stunned.

"I don't know the specifics, just now when I was wandering around the screening hall with Director Wang, I saw a few filmmakers coming to the door, I don't understand what Director Wang is talking to them, but inexplicably I signed five buyout agreements on the spot......" Zhou Yang put the contract on the table in the shock of An Xiao and his assistant, and said this with a puzzled face.
