It takes at least one to two months for a typical movie script to produce a concrete result.

It is a first-level audit, often after the unit has passed the audit, and then the previous unit continues a new round of review......

In this process, the old man can cut the line, while the newcomer can only wait.

And waiting is often the most torturous.

Zheng Jun once wrote six consecutive scripts in a month, each script was impeccable, and after waiting for two months in anticipation, in the end, all he was waiting for was the rectification opinion of "historical nothingness, it is not recommended to shoot".

Zheng Jun has a bad heart, obviously many of the movies released are larger in scale than his scripts, and the so-called historical nihilism is more deceptive, but he can be reviewed, but his book is criticized for being useless......

Later, as he grew older and failed to review many times, Zheng Jun became more proficient in writing books, in addition to realizing that he was not enough, the way he wrote books also began to change, he no longer made up plots through "imaginary" stories, but began to move closer to the mainstream.

"This ...... Coming down so soon? Zheng Jun got the script opinion letter for "Struggle".

When he saw the seal on it, Zheng Jun was a little incredulous!

The script review process for "Struggling" is very fast.

On the first day, the two of them handed over the book to the relevant departments in person, and the script was reviewed the next day, and there were no corresponding rectification suggestions.

"Well, yes, in addition, this is a support policy for "Struggle", there are some tax deductions, and in addition, there are some priority arrangements in terms of film scheduling......"

Zheng Jun watched Zhou Yang take out a large amount of support materials, and he felt that his eyes were glazed.

He looked at this scene blankly, swallowed his saliva, was a little emotional, and looked at Zhou Yang with blank eyes: "Mr. Zhou, this is the privilege?" ”

"I used to think it was a privilege, but in fact, it ......" Zhou Yang showed a little helplessness on his face: "This is basically the standard configuration of a director of Zhao Sicheng's level, of course, Django's movie script review is faster......"

Zhou Yang, who used to be a layman, may also be as shocked as Zheng Jun and feel inexplicably honored.

But the more he came into contact with this industry, the more he learned some truths and met some people, the more complex Zhou Yang felt in his heart, and he even felt that he was the one who worked hard and didn't know anything else was the purest and easiest person to live.

The smile on Zheng Jun's face disappeared, and the excitement in his eyes gradually turned into a trace of complexity.

Some people are struggling at the bottom, desperately trying to climb up, every step is difficult, full of all kinds of despair and darkness.

And some people are born on it, enjoying the sunshine and rain, and squandering their time wantonly.

After so many years at the bottom, what is his reality unclear?

He had all the experiences of those years in his mind.

It's sad, it's sad, it's ridiculous.

He exhaled deeply and stared closely at the script of The Struggle.

At this moment, all complicated emotions disappeared.

He felt his whole body blazing, like a warrior about to go on a journey.

"Mr. Zhou!"

"What's wrong?"

"I'm going to prepare." Zheng Jun wanted to say something ambitious, but when he got to his mouth, he found that he couldn't say anything, and finally held back such a sentence.

"Good! Go ahead. ”

"Hmm."

Jung Jun turned to leave.

After staying up for so long, it's time for him to come out!

………………………………

February 8.

Feng Kai walked into Huaxing again.

When he came back again, his emotions were very complicated, and he even stood at the door of the office for a long time, hesitating whether to walk in or not.

He didn't know how to face Zhou Yang.

used to be Xiao Zhou and Director Zhou, and they were marginal characters who were looked down upon by themselves......

The little man who used to stand beside him and was silent in meetings......

At this moment, he has become the boss of Huaxing, and has become the most controversial director in the entire Chinese director circle, witnessing the rise of Zhou Yang with his own eyes, you say that it is impossible for Feng Kai to have no sense of gap in his heart.

He eventually knocked on the door anyway.

"Come in!"

With a calm voice, Feng Kai pushed open the door.

"Jinyiwei" is officially finished.

The schedule is scheduled to be released next month, but next month, it's really not a good day.

Not only is there a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster called "Interstellar" released, but there are also the blockbuster "Golden Armor" with an investment of nearly 300 million yuan by Zhou Yilin and the gorgeous combination movie "Mechanical Man" with an investment of 80 million yuan by Django.

As for his "Jin Yiwei".

Although his film was successfully filmed, he was in a very awkward situation!

The investment and publicity of this film are only more than 10 million, which is a small-budget movie!

Such a low-budget movie is suitable for the unpopular schedule and fight for the box office, but it is really not suitable for being released in March when demons and monsters are rampant......

Otherwise, I don't know how to die!

"Director Feng, I haven't seen you for a long time, Director Feng looks more energetic, sit, sit down."

After pushing open the door, Feng Kai saw Zhou Yang, who was smiling, standing up and warmly beckoning him to sit down.

"Mr. Zhou, it's okay......" Feng Kai obviously felt that Zhou Yang had changed.

Yes, Zhou Yang has changed a lot from the last time we met.

The last time in the relevant departments, when the two of them were in the conference room together, they lost face to those directors in public, although Zhou Yang was shocking, his words and deeds could still vaguely find out what he looked like a year ago.

And when they met again this time, he found that Zhou Yang could not find his original appearance at all.

He's been reborn.

He was smiling, but his smile was full of spring breeze, and every movement was oothy with an indescribable momentum......

Feng Kai actually felt restrained and inferior in front of him, obviously very close, but extremely far away, especially when Zhou Yang helped him pour tea, Feng Kai was flattered, and he immediately stood up again as soon as he sat down.

The clock walked on the wall second by second.

The sun shines through the window and shines warmly on people.

The two began to catch up, and Feng Kai found that Zhou Yang's voice was still very sincere, which made people can't help but feel a sense of closeness, but they began to be more and more talkative.

They talked about the filming of "Mine Bottom" and "The Crow......

The scenes of the past were like a movie, passing in front of Feng Kai's eyes, and Feng Kai felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

chatted and chatted, and naturally talked about the theme that Feng Kai came over today: "Director Zhou, the situation in March is very bad for "Jinyiwei", I want to change the schedule, what do you think?" ”

Feng Kai told Zhou Yang about the movies released in March, and analyzed the predicted box office of each movie!

His attitude looks pessimistic.

Maybe I care too much about the movie "Jin Yiwei", I care too much, but the more I don't want anything to go wrong with this movie.

Zhou Yang silently listened to Feng Kai's analysis.

It wasn't until Feng Kai couldn't say anything anymore that he nodded, but didn't speak, just asked Feng Kai to show him the sample film of "Jin Yiwei".

The ticking of the clock on the wall in the office struck at the hearts of the two men.

"Jin Yiwei" on the computer is playing the plot.

More than two hours later, the "Jin Yiwei" on the computer came to an end.

After the broadcast, Zhou Yang returned the sample to Feng Kai, but did not speak.

Feng Kai felt that the atmosphere was getting more and more weird, and at the same time, he also felt a little depressed, especially Zhou Yang's incomprehensible eyes, which made Feng Kai inexplicably a little breathless.

I don't know how long later, Zhou Yang glanced out the window and sighed faintly: "Director Feng...... In your opinion, what is the most essential reason for the success of a movie? ”

His voice was complicated, as if he was asking Feng Kai, and as if he was asking himself.

"Publicity, film scheduling, popularity, follow-up word-of-mouth, and of course, market ......" Feng Kai replied a lot of things.

Zhou Yang was silent for a long time, and then continued to ask: "Director Feng, you said a lot, what is the most important factor that affects a movie?" ”

"The market and word of mouth ......" Feng Kai thought for a while, and finally replied.

"What is it that determines the market and word of mouth?" Zhou Yang continued to ask like a curious baby.

"It's the quality of the film itself." Feng Kai pondered for a while.

"Director Feng, don't you have confidence in the movie "Jinyiwei"?"

"There is confidence, it's just ......" Feng Kai suddenly found that he couldn't continue.

He found himself terrified......

He is too eager to succeed, and this desire to succeed makes him unable to bear the consequences of failure.

"Do you think your "Brocade Guard" is not as good as Django's "Cyborg"?"

"......" Feng Kai was silent.

Naturally, I didn't want to admit it in my heart, but I don't know why, but when the words came to my mouth, I couldn't say anything.

"Feng Kai, how high-spirited you used to be, why have you become like this now?"

Feng Kai glanced at Zhou Yang, his eyes were full of helplessness, and then smiled: "Director Zhou, high-spirited people have been suppressed so many times, it's good if your mentality doesn't collapse......"

This year.

Not only Zhou Yang has changed, but Feng Kai has also changed.

Those who once had no self-confidence have become extremely confident, and those who were once confident have begun to become uneasy, fearful, sensitive, and their hearts have long been wiped out by reality.

"What if we win?" Zhou Yang suddenly said this.

His expression was very weird, but his eyes were very serious, and even exuded a hint of fiery energy.

When he heard this, Feng Kai suddenly felt familiar......

His heart fluttered slightly.

Time seems to have returned to a year ago when the two were filming "The Bottom of the Mine".

That day, on the mountain, the young man who seemed to be inferior to his bones, but stubborn to the bones, suddenly said such a sentence when he faced his cynicism.

"What if 'Mine Bottom' is shortlisted for Berlin?"

That day, he couldn't believe it when he heard it......

He couldn't laugh to himself.

Not only him, but even the entire crew of "Mine Bottom" were laughing along......

Laugh at his ignorance and laugh at his ignorance......

However!

That day!

When "Mine Bottom" received an invitation to the Berlin International Film Festival......

When he appeared on the stage of the Berlin International Film Festival, got the trophy, and lifted the trophy in the eyes of everyone!

Those who laughed at him suddenly realized that they were the biggest joke.

That day!

When everyone was not optimistic about him, Zhou Yang wrote a page of his own legend......

""The Bottom of the Mine has been so difficult, what are we afraid of?"

"The reason why the movie "Mine Bottom" won the award is that 80% of the credit is due to you Director Feng!"

"You should have stood on the stage of the Berlin International Film Festival and lifted the trophy, not me!"

Zhou Yang's eyes seemed to be a fire.

This fire is burning Feng Kai!

This moment!

Somehow, Feng Kai only felt a surge of blood.

Holding the information of "Jinyiwei", his hands couldn't help but tremble!

"The brave wins!"

"Even if we lose, we have to lose on our feet!"

"What are you afraid of? We have nothing to fear! ”

"And!"

"What if we win?"

"Director Feng!"

"them!"

Feng Kai clenched his fists.

He stared at Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang at this moment is really unfamiliar.

These words don't seem like Zhou Yang can say them at all.

But......

I don't know why, but he feels that his voice is full of demagogic power!

He gasped.

Nodding subconsciously.
