Chapter 223: What Are Your Qualifications?
Zhou Yang slept for a long time, and when he woke up, he found that it was four o'clock in the morning on January 7.
Pulling open the curtains, the orange light of the street lamp entered the dark room, and Zhou Yang squinted slightly.
Later, he saw that the bun shop not far away had set up a stall, and the steam curled up the chandelier and gradually dissipated into the night.
Looking up at the sky, the stars in the sky loom in the haze, reflecting each other.
Before I knew it, it was almost the New Year again.
This year......
It's going so fast.
Zhou Yang looked at the starry sky, and inexplicably felt some indescribable emotion.
Then, he thought about how he had changed over the course of the year.
I once walked lonely in the trough, and I also walked on the very dazzling stage in an uneasy mood, looking down at everyone in the audience......
When I met a person, something happened, and I learned a lot of things, his personality also changed.
From the initial inferiority, paranoia, immersed in his own world and isolated from the world, and then gradually to self-confidence, peace, and slowly integrated into this prosperous world, becoming a person who he once dared not imagine.
Zhou Yang thought of what he saw and heard when he was in the United States, and thought of the "Fatal Crisis" that he was aggrieved by.
A series of fragmented plots flashed through his mind, and finally froze on the squinting eyes of Chinese action actor Wang Qiusheng.
The wind blew through his hair, and he suddenly became a little irritable, then closed the window and exhaled deeply in the dark room.
"Fuck the big international director!"
He cursed an unprecedentedly swear word, and after scolding, he felt a lot more comfortable all over his body.
Then he got dressed, left the room, and started running under the street lamp.
………………………
"Why aren't there pirated resources?"
"I found it, I have it here, but it was filmed on the spot, intermittently, oops, only a small part, and the experience is so bad......"
"Share the seeds."
"Just 10 minutes ......"
“……”
"Chainsaw" caused such a big movement in Lao Mei, and the Chinese film industry naturally exploded.
Especially after seeing that the box office of "Saw Horror" exceeded $25 million in five days, the major movie websites in China went crazy and pushed this movie to the hot search headlines.
Fans are partying.
This is the first director in Chinese history to make a movie in Lao Mei and cause such a big sensation!
The first time of the world.
They climbed over the wall and hung up on the Internet, and when they saw the overall evaluation of the movie "Chainsaw" by foreign friends, they were so excited that they went crazy!
Unquenchable curiosity drove them to search the Internet for various pirated resources and download links of Saw Horror.
Piracy is rampant in Huaxia, and Du Niang is very powerful, so they really found countless "Chainsaw" resources in such a search, and even found some videos leaked during filming......
Although some of them were filmed in the screening room at the beginning and without an end, although some of them were AV quality, so that people's eyes couldn't understand what they were all about......
But they were still very excited, immersed in the gloomy, dark, flesh-and-blood images all day long.
Of course......
There are also people searching for pirated resources for Fatal Crisis.
Although the box office of this movie is not as good as "Chainsaw", it is highly rated in the list of movies released by Lao Mei in January, and is even called one of the few spy blockbusters in Hollywood.
As a Hollywood blockbuster directed by the same Chinese director and took three years to make, netizens are naturally looking forward to this movie.
It's a pity, though.
Fox seems to have very good copyright protection for "Fatal Crisis", and the movie "Fatal Crisis" has no resources in China at all, only some fragmentary wonderful films.
In the trailer, fans see the protagonist smoking a cigarette in a factory that exploded, killing one enemy after another in style......
At the same time, I saw the hem of the long skirt of the Hollywood goddess Rose, and after being hugged by the protagonist and jumping out of the fire, she looked at the protagonist obsessively, and under the sunset, the picture was set off beautifully.
I have to say that these wonderful films are refreshing!
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Major theaters opened the Chinese pre-sale tickets for "Fatal Crisis" for the first time.
In just two hours, the advance tickets for "Fatal Crisis" were sold out, and even the tickets for the second and third days were sold out.
"Support Director Huaxia!"
"Support Director Zhao!"
"A well-deserved international director!"
“……”
All kinds of slogans spread on the Internet, and under the deliberate rendering of Xinghui Company and relevant departments, fans were enthusiastic and passionate.
……………………
The meeting of the relevant departments was held at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhao Sicheng got off the plane in the dust, and after getting off the plane, countless reporters and many Chinese directors surrounded him.
Zhao Si in the crowd was like a big hero who had experienced a fight and returned victoriously, and he was watched by a pair of enthusiastic eyes.
Everyone felt that he had a dazzling light on him.
When facing reporters, he smiled, constantly talking about how much influence his film has caused in the United States, while promoting Chinese culture, and inspiring many young people in the United States, and finally announced the premiere time of his "Fatal Crisis" in other countries......
The afternoon sun shone on his face, and although he was a little tired between his eyebrows, his spirit was very good, and he talked and laughed with the president of the Directors Guild along the way, and thought about the future......
He was surrounded by the relevant departments, and when he walked in, some veteran directors took the initiative to give him an important position.
"Haha, Director Zhao is amazing!"
"Uncle Zhao, you are the pride of our Chinese directors, a role model, and a guide......
"Director Zhao, give a lesson to the little cubs in Yanjing in a few days and teach them how to make movies, they've been looking forward to it for a long time......"
"Director Zhao, it's been hard work, it's not easy!"
"Mr. Zhao, how is Fox's attitude towards us? If you can, can you introduce me too? ”
"Director Zhao, the box office of "Fatal Crisis" in China is estimated to explode, three days, which movie in Huaxia has sold out all the advance tickets for three days? That's all I watch when I watch movies like "Heroes"! ”
"Personally, I think this "Fatal Crisis" can surpass "Hero", "Hero" is too narrow, and "Fatal Crisis" is very wide......"
“……”
The meeting has not yet begun, except for a few individual directors, the rest are all kinds of friendship and touting.
These voices were accompanied by bursts of laughter from time to time, and the laughter was mixed with Zhao Sicheng's constant waving of his hands and modest expression.
The older generation is like this, you praise me, I lift you, and the younger generation stands aside, showing a courteous smile, and uncles and uncles keep shouting.
The chaotic atmosphere was only slightly lighter when another figure came in.
"Yo, look, who's coming, Director Zhou is here?"
"Young and promising, haha, young and promising, when I first saw Director Zhou, I thought Director Zhou was extraordinary!"
"Yes, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves......"
under the light.
Zhou Yang also saw that someone was greeting him happily, and he saw Zhou Yilin standing up very enthusiastically, looking at him with a smile, and inviting him to sit down.
Zhou Yang showed a simple smile and said hello to everyone.
Just as he was about to sit down......
"What the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves! Hehe, isn't it just hype? What's the big deal......"
Zhou Yang heard a cold voice not far away.
Then he subconsciously looked over there, but saw a tall young man sitting next to Zhao Sicheng with an expression, looking at Zhou Yang with his hands on his chest, his eyes full of mockery.
"Xiao Song, shut up! You have to learn more from Director Zhou, you know! You apologize to Director Zhou, hehe, Director Zhou, don't take it to heart, young people will inevitably be a little angry, and they will always say something in their hearts......" Zhao Sicheng pretended to reprimand the young people around him, and then looked at Zhou Yang with a smile.
"Apologize? I'm going to apologize to him? Uncle Zhao, why should I apologize if I'm honest? The young man known as Xiao Song glanced at Zhou Yang with a sneer: "Isn't it just a means of indiscriminate ordering, what's the big ......deal?"
"Shut up!"
"Okay, okay, don't hurt the harmony, everyone is a Chinese director, I don't see you when you look up in the future, I don't think Xiao Zhou is the kind of person with a small amount of energy, and if you change it, you will be encouraged......" Zhou Yilin laughed and waved his hand, stopping the farce while stopping the young director named William Song.
Zhou Yang had no other expression, nor was he angry, he showed a simple smile from beginning to end, but he remembered everyone's expressions in his heart.
Just when everyone thought it was going to be revealed, the door suddenly opened.
"Yo, it's quite lively today, and the people are quite together!" Wang Shuai, who was smoking, rarely attended a meeting of relevant departments, and frowned as soon as he walked in: "Xiao Zhou, why are you sitting here?" ”
"Huh?"
"Don't be too low-key, go sit over there......" Wang Shuai put the cigarette in the ashtray slightly, pulled up Zhou Yang and brought it to Zhao Sicheng under everyone's eyes: "They are all directors who make movies in Hollywood, and today you are the protagonist......"
Zhou Yang was brought to Zhao Sicheng's side.
Then I saw Wang Shuai staring at William Song's position.
"Director Wang!" William Song, who was originally quite arrogant, subconsciously stood up and greeted Wang Shuai.
But seeing that Wang Shuai's brows were furrowed even deeper, he patted William Song on the shoulder: "Children, all of you here today are great directors with works and reputations, what are you talking about sitting here, go and stand next to it and listen, and learn more from the advanced experience of your predecessors......"
"Huh?" William Song was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he subconsciously looked at Zhao Sicheng.
Zhao Si's smiling expression suddenly became a little gloomy, he glanced at Wang Shuai, who was happy, and finally laughed again: "Xiao Song, you go and find a seat next to you, no matter how Director Zhou made the movie, but it is a fact that people are number one at the box office...... Director Zhou, I'm sorry, I didn't think it through, please sit ......"
"Oh, okay." William Song nodded, then gave up his position, and then found a place in the back row.
Although he was smiling, he stared at Zhou Yang's back, his eyes were extremely cold.
Zhou Yang did not respond to Zhao Sicheng's words, but smiled calmly and sat next to Zhao Sicheng with kindness.
Wang Shuai nodded, and also sat on the other side of Zhou Yang.
There were a lot of people coming to today's meeting, and even Shen Changwei, who had always been to see the head and end of the dragon, came.
After he came, he praised Zhou Yang, and then said hello to the other directors, and then sat down with a smile.
"Yo, are they all here? Sorry for the traffic jam on the road, late, almost late, haha......"
At 2:58 p.m., Huang Jiacheng pushed open the door, and when he saw that he was the only one left among the directors, he laughed.
After nodding slightly at Zhou Yang, he looked around again, glanced at Django, and finally looked at William Song who was sitting behind Zhou Yang, with a complicated expression.
"Director Huang ......" After William Song saw Huang Jiacheng staring at him, he subconsciously shouted.
"Well, this kid, this meeting is a meeting of our big directors, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to sit in this place, right?"
“???”
William Song saw Huang Jiacheng approaching two meters and walked in front of him like a giant bear, patted him on the shoulder and frowned.
"Director Huang, Xiao Song was pulled here by me to learn!" Zhao Sicheng finally couldn't help but stand up and stare at Huang Jiacheng.
"Yo, Director Zhao, are you also there? I can't even see you when you shrink here......" Huang Jiacheng laughed: "Since it was invited by Director Zhao, then you can sit here, but the content we talked about today is relatively high-end, Xiao Song, since you came to study, why don't you bring your notebook?" ”
"Director Huang, I brought it!"
"Who is this little book of yours for? It's so disrespectful, go to the store next door and buy a decent notebook......"
"......" William Song lowered his head, only to feel anger filling his body, and his heart was twitching!
He subconsciously glanced at Zhao Sicheng again, but saw that Zhao Sicheng's expression was cold, he didn't say anything, and his eyes didn't mean to let him leave.
He silently glanced at the others again, and Feng Minrui, president of the Directors Association, Zhou Yilin, vice president and others, did not have smiles on their faces, but stared coldly at Huang Jiacheng, and he did not move his position in the end.
The conference room was suddenly filled with an indescribable sense of solemnity and coldness.
The people who attended the meeting seemed to be unconsciously divided into two factions.
Huang Jiacheng was not angry after feeling the coldness against himself, nor did he feel embarrassed, but laughed happily: "Why are you doing with such a tight face, I'll just make a joke, haha, it's all natural, yo, Section Chief Zhang is here, let's have a meeting...... Everybody's waiting for you......"
