Chapter 188: Superhero Project
Zhao Sicheng looked gloomily at the information report in his hand.
He can control resources, master a series of media opinions, and can make some fledgling hairy guys who disobey them fall into a situation from which they will never recover.
On the Internet, a large number of people have begun to boycott all of Zhou Yang's music works, including "The Girl with Wings", "Meet", "Invisible Wings", ......
It looks like it's huge, crushing like a raging storm.
However, the torrent of the times always rolls forward.
It is impossible for good works to start falling into a downturn because of a few words of boycott on the Internet, and what capital favors will always be what can bring them benefits.
Walking out of the house, on the streets and alleys, the melody of "Invisible Wings" continued to echo around everyone, and the sluggish physical album market also ushered in a second spring.
Stay at home, turn on the TV, and the advertisements you can see everywhere are "Do you want to download this song "Invisible Wings" as your mobile phone ringtone, please dial 13886 for landlines...... For mobile users, please dial: 1586635......"
As of the evening of October 18, the physical sales of the album "Invisible Wings" have sold 200,000 copies, and the number of downloads of CRBT on the Internet has reached a staggering 8 million!
Zhao Sicheng crumpled the data of "Invisible Wings" into a ball, and then threw it into the trash.
"I'm sorry, Director Zhao, we understand your emotions very well."
"I hope you understand one thing, and that is that the film industry is a thing in the film industry, and the music industry is a music industry thing."
"It is impossible to ban Zhou Yang's works in the top ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards on Hong Kong Island, which is the most authoritative annual music list in China, all based on sales and fans' word of mouth......"
"I'm sorry......"
"The reason why we delayed the announcement of the list is not because you said hello to our leaders, but because we are considering whether the work "Invisible Wings" should be added to the ranks of the top ten Chinese songs on Hong Kong Island......
Zhao Sicheng's voice on the phone echoed in his head.
He stared at the scraps of paper in the trash can, and for the first time, he had a feeling of being out of control.
…………………………
The entertainment industry is a vanity fair.
Standing in the most brilliant position sought after by tens of thousands of people, countless envy and screams, leading the trend of an era, turning over for clouds and hands for rain!
When he first graduated, Feng Kai relied on his family's capital to step into this circle with high spirits, made a few movies that he thought were good, and felt that his future was full of splendor and brilliance.
However, when he really touched this circle, he found that there was a barrier in the film industry that he couldn't see clearly, and this barrier hindered him and made it difficult for him to move forward for half a point.
Feng Kai, who once won the Best Newcomer Award on Taiwan Island and was about to soar, suddenly found that he had no movies to make.
Not only did he not have any movies to make, but after he came back, the major media reported very little on him, and even did not make any waves in the entire circle, and no investors asked him when his next movie would set sail.
He thought that the Best Newcomer Award was not a great award and did not deserve any publicity.
Later, gradually......
Only then did he realize that the class of this circle had been solidified.
The genius directors who were really pushed out of front of the stage have a force standing behind them.
This force personally picks the script for them, plans everything that follows for them, and even sets up corresponding characters for them......
And those directors who have no background are desperately working hard under the barrier to fight for a glimmer of life......
on the main seat.
"I've only been in this circle for a year, and there are many things I may not understand, and what I say next is just my personal superficial understanding......"
"The movie "Superman", in my opinion, is another attempt of the old American movie, as early as sixty or seventy years ago, this movie had the birth of comic works, and at the same time, in the comic works, they have a relatively complete cosmology and world line, and each character has his own unique experience and story......"
"I've looked through DV's early animations and comics, as well as some of the early manga films."
"I found out that they had been laying out a plan for a long time, and Superman should be a relatively important part of their plan......"
"The name of this project should be called the Superhero Project......"
“……”
Sunset.
A gust of evening breeze blew through the window and on Feng Kai's body.
Feng Kai felt very warm, and at the same time indescribable comfort.
It's still noisy outside the window.
The sunset reflected half of the sky, and under the sunset, the reporters surrounding Huaxing did not disperse for a long time, and vaguely, Feng Kai could see these reporters carrying cameras, jumping up and down on the edge of the wall.
They're all waiting for a big piece of news that will blow up the headlines.
Feng Kai turned his head and saw Zhou Yang, the main seat of the conference room.
The afterglow of the sunset reflected Zhou Yang's figure.
The once taciturn and humble young man did not have any stage fright in the face of everyone's eyes at this moment, but began to seriously analyze the plan behind "Superman".
Feng Kai immediately felt that Zhou Yang was talking a little nonsense, and felt that Zhou Yang was thinking too much.
He subconsciously wanted to refute Zhou Yang, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Listening to it, I became more and more frightened.
It seems that behind "Superman" is a huge net with names such as "superheroes", "film industry system" and "special effects blockbuster", which is shrouding the entire Chinese film circle.
Only Zhou Yang's voice was speaking in the conference room.
Zhou Yang looked out the window and said all the thoughts in his heart one by one.
In the past, he lived a very pure life, and he never paid attention to the general trend of the film industry, he just wanted to eat with his mouth, and he didn't have any ideas.
Although it is not a mess, he has never had the heart to think about other things, because those things are really too far away from him, even after he officially takes control of the company, Zhou Yang still feels that things in the film industry are very far away from him......
The meeting of the relevant departments a few days ago made him suddenly realize that the world is very complicated, and he began to think seriously in the real sense.
The older generation controls the lifeblood of the entire film industry......
The rookie directors who do not belong to their faction are confused, and they can only succumb, staying up day by day, not knowing when they will come out.
He suddenly realized what the hell Anxiao was going to do!
She's going to change that!
"It's a revolution in the film industry, and it's a culture war!"
When Zhou Yang said this, even he felt his strangeness.
Such beautiful words, such lofty ambitions, it seems that they should not come out of his mouth.
It's embarrassing!
It's really embarrassing......
But the information about the two worlds in my mind seemed to coincide completely at this moment.
Similar trajectories, similar times, similar people and events......
It seems that everything is still in time!
Wang Shuai, Huang Jiacheng and others silently listened to Zhou Yang's words.
Sometimes they nodded, sometimes they fell into deep thought, sometimes they silently smoked cigarettes and looked out the window, not knowing what they were thinking.
It seems that the future that Zhou Yang said is about to happen right in front of him, and it is terrifyingly real.
Filled with sorrow and despair, the feeling of cultural colony seems to be getting stronger and stronger.
"Hollywood Industry", "Superhero Universe", "Blockbuster Era", "Trend".
And Zhang Genshui became more and more at a loss the more he listened.
Does this have anything to do with the films he invests in?
Just say what you want to invest in!
………………………………
October 22nd.
8:20 a.m.
"Superman" finally landed in China under the watchful eyes of fans.
The 34 cinema chains in China, including Hualian, Wanda, Huaying South and other most eye-catching places in the cinema chains, are all hung with promotional posters of "Superman", and the posters are written with very powerful words "sensational in the United States, shocking attack".
At the same time, the poster also marked the overseas box office of "Superman"!
In 16 days of release, it grossed $130 million, breaking many box office records for Hollywood films, and at the same time, breaking the monopoly of "Time Machine" in the history of world cinema.
After seeing this data, many fans have an inexplicable sense of excitement in their hearts, and they can't wait to see what this movie can be......
Many businesses naturally saw the commercial value of this movie, and not long after the overseas premiere, they spent a huge amount of money overseas to buy the peripheral rights of "Superman"!
At half past eight o'clock in the morning of October 22, in order to cater to the huge popularity of "Superman", the toy stalls in major shopping malls put "Superman" figure toys on the shelves for the first time, and at the same time, major bookstores also simultaneously put "Superman" movie synchronous comics......
"I'm grass, the special effects are really amazing, I'm in the movie theater, and I feel like the plane really hit me......"
"yes, it's so real, I feel like my vision has been hit so much, I can't describe how I felt at the time, I even felt a little suffocated......"
"I never took my eyes off the big screen for a moment, and I even watched this movie with my pee in my hands......"
"The main character, Chris. Jeff was just as righteous and strong, handsome, with beautiful eyes, and especially his attractive muscles, which made me deeply obsessed. ”
"The imagination is amazing, the planet where the protagonist was born at the beginning of "Superman" satisfies all my imagination of the universe and the future world, and I even feel that there is such a planet in this world, how did they do it?"
"It's amazing, no wonder it got such an amazing box office!"
“……”
The first Chinese premiere of "Superman" was almost explosive in China!
Fans who entered the cinema were shocked by the special effects on the big screen, and were deeply obsessed with the epic disaster scenes, especially the appearance of Superman carrying the plane to save everyone by himself, which made many girls scream uncontrollably, this is the real blockbuster......
Zhou Yang also went to the cinema to watch the movie "Superman", which is a little different from the plot of "Superman" in his original world, but the overall framework is not much different.
Zhou Yang, who was accustomed to seeing 3D scenes in the original world, was naturally not much shocked when he saw the 2D superhuman special effects.
But the others were completely different from him, and he saw people screaming at the fans, especially the children, who were yelling and waving their arms in excitement, wishing they were to be Superman......
The impact of Hollywood industrial films on Chinese fans is huge......
No, not only for Chinese fans, but also for fans from other countries.
After the movie is over......
Zhou Yang walked out of the house and saw that the peripheral sales stalls of "Superman" were crowded with people.
Especially the children who just came out of the movie, all of them rolled on the ground, clamoring for "Superman......
After watching it for a while, Zhou Yang silently left the movie theater.
Just when Zhou Yang was emotionally complicated, Zhou Yang received a call from An Xiao.
"Have you watched Superman?"
"Looked."
"How does it feel?"
"I don't know what to say, but this movie should be the same as Mr. An's expectations, and it should have exploded...... Hey, hey? Why is there no sound? After Zhou Yang finished saying this, the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.
Zhou Yang thought there was no signal.
About ten seconds later, a voice appeared on the other end of the phone.
"Zhou Yang, the Young Director Support Program, we are ready to use the box office to determine the intensity of support, which is a reward system similar to the box office...... What do you think? ”
"I think it's good."
"Would you like to be one of the first directors of the support program? The pressure may not be small, and it may be necessary to compete with those cutting-edge directors who are supported by established directors......"
