The monstrous waves set off by Zhao Sicheng on the Internet did not last long before they were completely suppressed.

You can't even search for the word "Zhao Sicheng" on Weibo.

Zhou Yang naturally saw the news.

After seeing the news, except for a little emotion, his mood did not change.

Some have returned, others have gone......

This is normal.

Time passed day by day.

In the blink of an eye, it was February 21.

After the beginning of spring, the land of China did not warm much, and in the thirties of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it snowed.

Outside the window, it was snowy.

Although the air conditioner in the room was warm, Zhou Yang couldn't help but shiver.

The movie "Jin Yiwei" is officially set for March 1......

Although the Huaxia Directors Association does not treat Feng Kai very well, since the incident of Zhao Sicheng, many directors seem to be not as obvious as before, at least on the bright side, Zhou Yang does not see any traces of the suppression of "Jinyiwei".

The film schedule is normal, although it collided with Django's "Cyborg", but it staggered the Hollywood blockbuster, and the time of the film schedule is also normal, although Django's "Cyborg" is slightly earlier, but the time of "Jinyiwei" is basically in normal time.

"Ding!"

The company's account received the first payment of "Chainsaw" in Lao Mei.

After seeing the account split, Zhou Yang was not surprised, but felt a little confused.

"Chainsaw" was officially drawn in Lao Mei with a box office of 90 million US dollars.

Lao Mei still sucked the blood of "Saw Horror" quite hard.

After putting aside 55 percent of the theater chain accounts, the 90 million box office is only $40.5 million.

And the $40 million share of the account had to be slaughtered by the old US tax bureau, nearly half of which could have been exempted from part of the tax, but because this project was declared in Zhou Yang's personal name, it was declared and filmed in Zhou Yang's personal name, and at that time there was no company under his name, he did not enjoy tax incentives, and he was not an American, so he could not enjoy tax deductions and so on......

In short, Lao Mei's tax system is to deduct half of your taxes, which is simply bloodsucking!

After slaughtering, do you think all this money is yours?

No!

The distribution company Warner will take a commission, and after Warner takes a commission, the Lao Mei Film Guild also came to take a share when the film was drawn, and the reputation is called "Film Market Protection System Collection Fee", after the director's union took this income, some film-related departments came to sweep it again......

After these things took away the movie, plus the total expenses and the actors' shares, as well as some fines, Zhou Yang, the initiator of the project, finally got only seven million US dollars.

Yes, you read that right!

A box office of 90 million US dollars, which was tossed by various things, was not able to get a single percent!

"Mr. Zhou Yang, these are your first movies in Hollywood, and many things can't be done at all, but the second movie won't be like this, at least it can be multiplied many times!"

Christian specially called over to comfort Zhou Yang.

There is disbelief in Zhou Yang's heart, and there is also a slight gap, he has heard that many departments on Lao Mei's side are vampires before, and now he is really aware of it.

However, when he thought that this was the first income of "Chainsaw", Zhou Yang's complicated emotions did not fluctuate so much.

The zero-investment movie ended up earning $7 million, which is good!

in the office.

Zhou Yang no longer thought about "Chainsaw", but looked out the window.

It's five o'clock in the afternoon.

Outside the window, there were bursts of snow.

After looking at the snow for a while, Zhou Yang left the office and suddenly felt a chill hit him......

Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Wu Zhenhong and Wu Lao went to Taiwan Island for the New Year, and his assistant Zhou Xi also followed.

Song Qianqian and Jiang Shushu are nervously waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to come on stage, plus the queen Zhong Yanhong will also come to the Spring Festival Gala, as the company's general agent and second boss, Sister Jing is naturally also busy at the scene of the Spring Festival Gala.

The company's contracted artists Zhao Zhen, Chen Shuangbao and others also took leave to go home for the New Year, and they have been busy for almost a year, and they have also made a lot of money, just when they want to be embarrassed in front of their relatives.

The huge Huaxing has an inexplicable sense of loneliness, except for the little sister at the front desk who is bored playing mobile games to pass the time on duty, the whole company is empty.

Zhou Yang walked out of Huaxing, and he didn't have the usual special costume, and the reporters who used to be lively around Huaxing are now only a few fragments......

He reporters all went to squat in the Spring Festival Gala.

Although Zhou Yang's popularity on the Internet is terrifying, no matter how terrifying it is, it is not as terrifying as the popularity of this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Zhou Yang greeted them, took out the red envelopes prepared in advance, sent one to each reporter, and left.

The reporters were very enthusiastic about Zhou Yang, but they didn't stalk him, and after saying a good New Year, they dispersed.

After leaving the company and walking back to the alley, Zhou Yang heard the noisy sound next door.

In the snowflakes in the sky, through the clear and hazy glass, Zhou Yang saw a person eating Chinese New Year's Eve food around the table, laughing and playing among the children......

The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

Zhou Yang was in the snow, barely seeing the road in the distance.

Walking through the alley, wearing a mask and hat, Zhou Yang bought some vegetables and some rice balls, and after buying, he returned to the rental house.

He didn't cook for the first time, but turned on the TV, turned up the sound on the TV, and then went into the kitchen to cook seriously.

Two hours later, Zhou Yang made a table of dishes.

When he sat back at the table, Zhou Yang stared blankly at a table of sumptuous meals, and suddenly found that he had no appetite.

There were various blessing advertisements playing on the TV, and Zhou Yang changed the station and listened to the cheerful voices of the sketch actors playing on the TV.

I don't know why, Zhou Yang suddenly felt a little indescribable.

He picked up the phone he had turned off and turned it on.

"Doot toot!"

"Doot toot!"

The mobile phone rang with text messages, and the voices of "Happy Chinese New Year's Eve", "Happy Chinese New Year's Eve", and "I wish Director Zhou more and more handsome" messages constantly bombarded Zhou Yang's mobile phone.

Zhou Yang responded to these text messages one by one, whether they knew or didn't know each other.

After returning, he felt that the feeling of emptiness seemed to be better, and he finally had some appetite and began to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which was almost cold.

After eating two bites, I felt that the lights at home were too bright, so I simply turned off the headlights in the living room.

After turning off the lights, the noisy sound of firecrackers made Zhou Yang very uncomfortable, especially when it was bright and bright outside the window, even if he turned on the sound of the TV to the loudest, he still felt inexplicably irritable.

He paced back and forth in the house under the light of firecrackers, trying to get to the company to do work, but found that there was no work waiting for him to deal with at all......

Last year's Chinese New Year's Eve.

He hid in the house, reading the script of "The Crow", revising and studying at the same time, he didn't have any special feeling when he was busy, and today's Chinese New Year's Eve night, the indescribable feeling became more and more intense......

He couldn't eat, but he couldn't bear to spoil the good food on this table, and wanted to learn something, but he found that he didn't know if it was the firecracker or what was going on, and he couldn't calm down at all.

He stared blankly at the ceiling.

"Hey!"

He let out a sudden and uncontrollable sigh.

"Knock knock!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

Zhou Yang walked out and opened the door.

I saw An Xiao, dressed in a black tweed coat and wearing a Chinese red hat and scarf, standing at the door. There was a lot of snow outside, and there were a lot of snowflakes on her clothes and hat, and she jumped on the spot twice, and the snowflakes on her snow boots were shaken off.

is different from the usual serious ice beauty, An Xiao at this time is a little playful and cute.

"An, Mr. An!"

I don't know if it was surprise or what the reason was, Zhou Yang actually stuttered a little for a while.

"Why is it dark in the house?" An Xiao rubbed his hands and sighed, looked at his eyes and asked.

"I wanted to squint for a while......

"Oh."

An Xiao answered and did not continue to speak.

Zhou Yang recovered from the shock, invited An Xiao in as soon as possible, and turned on the light.

An Xiao silently looked at the neat rental house, and then heard the loud sound of the TV, and saw a table of barely touched meals.

She walked in and sat down in the chair opposite.

"Is there still food?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. An, haven't you eaten?"

"Just came back from work, just wanted to talk to you about something, was going to call you in advance, but your phone turned off and sent you a text message, and the text message reply of your text message was "Happy Chinese New Year's Eve", you shouldn't have read the text message content, right? An Xiao shook his head, put his coat on the hanger, and bent down again to sit elegantly on the chair, looking at Zhou Yang who went to serve the meal.

"Ahem, ahem...... People are a little confused. Zhou Yang smiled awkwardly, just now he was confused, he saw the text message and replied, and after a lot of reply, it gradually became "Happy Chinese New Year's Eve".

"Oh, it's been a hard time." An Xiao took the meal from Zhou Yang and said lightly.

"It's fine! It's just that a lot of things are not professional, and they are all in the learning stage......"

Zhou Yang sat down and picked up the rest of the meal just now and ate it.

The food, which I thought was unappetizing, seems to taste a little more at this moment.

I don't know if it's because time has changed, or if the relationship between the two sides has changed a little, the two didn't talk about anything else.

Zhou Yang wanted to say something to An Xiao, but after searching his head, he didn't know what to say or what topic to find to break the dull atmosphere.

And An Xiao regained his cold appearance and ate seriously.

This state lasted for a few minutes......

The knock on the door rang again.

Zhou Yang opened the door.

Subsequently......

“surprise！”

"I knew you were eating Chinese New Year's Eve alone......"

"How? Isn't it lonely? Seeing that everyone else is celebrating the New Year and reuniting with their families, is it very uncomfortable? ”

"Hee-hee!"

"Little sister, I'm busy with the work at hand, I didn't go to the Spring Festival Gala scene and came to you for the first time, don't be stunned, you can help me mention it, these are firecrackers, some are high-end foreign goods, expensive!"

"After watching the Spring Festival Gala, I'll take you to set off firecrackers!"

Zhou Yang saw Song Yiyi struggling to put down a large bag of firecrackers, and appeared at the door with a smile, then looked into the room, his face was stunned, and then he laughed again: "Oh, Mr. An is also there?" I didn't eat either......

"Huh? The meal was just finished...... Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment and said what was in his heart.
