Jung Jun once thought that the most important thing in a movie was investment.

As long as the investment is in place, nothing else is a problem.

But......

When he actually got the investment and was ready to shoot, he realized that he was wrong.

The movie "Struggle" is a one-man movie.

From the first shot to the last, there is only one character throughout.

Therefore, the leading actor must have strong enough acting skills, perfectly reflect the protagonist's extremely tense and exciting emotional experience through the big screen, and at the same time need sufficient personal charm and charisma, so that he can firmly contain the audience's nerves in 90 minutes, pressing on the audience's hearts like a big stone, making them breathless.

This is undoubtedly a huge test of casting.

At the same time, the filming of this film is also very difficult.

As a director himself, he needs to skillfully use the language of the lens to present a desperate and small space under dim lighting, and the camera can neither be shifted, nor can the audience have a single aesthetic or even a sense of visual fatigue.

These days, he has rummaged through all kinds of books at home and abroad, and found countless shooting cases, even those banned films underground......

He longed to find even a movie like it.

Pity......

No one in the Chinese film industry has ever made such a movie.

No one in the international film industry has ever made it, there is a similar dialogue movie with three actors, but it was shot poorly, and after Zheng Jun looked at it twice, he fell asleep.

There is definitely no market for such a movie, and what is the point of making a movie without a market?

Compared with the problem of borrowing shooting skills, casting is something that makes Jung Jun desperate.

The walls of the dormitory are plastered with photos of various actors and their masterpieces.

He stared at the walls, staring at the actors day and night, substituting them into the plot of the film "Struggle" in different ways.

And then, it's a pity......

Not a single one!

February 26.

"Mr. Zhou, I'...... It seems that this movie can't be made......" Zheng Jun knocked on Zhou Yang's office with a haggard face.

After entering the office, he bowed his head and uttered this sentence in great pain.

After saying this, a sense of despair arose in his heart.

For the first time in his life, he questioned his ability to shoot, and felt that he had overestimated his shooting talent.

"What's wrong? Sit down, don't stand......"

"Okay."

Jung Jun sat down, his hand holding the script of "Struggle" trembling constantly.

Disheartened, he told all the difficulties he had encountered.

After that, there was a deathly silence in the office.

Jung Jun heard his own heartbeat, and his nervousness overwhelmed Jungjun......

He didn't look up.

The more you care about something, the more afraid you are of losing it, and the more afraid that it will be destroyed by your own hands and become a joke.

The invisible pressure weighed on his heart like a boulder.

"Have you ever been to the Oscars?"

Zhou Yang looked at Zheng Jun, who had his head down, and did not answer anything else, but after being silent for a long time, he suddenly asked such a question.

"Huh?"

Zheng Jun raised his head and looked at Zhou Yang, his eyes were a little dazed.

He saw Zhou Yang smiling and gently touching the invitation of the Academy Awards: "At the Oscars, there will be many famous actors and actresses, when the time comes, you can go to the scene and choose slowly, and slowly choose ......"

Zheng Jun looked at Zhou Yang blankly.

He opened his mouth, his brain was blank at first, and then he kept repeating Zhou Yang's words.

His heart beat suddenly.

Then, his eyes widened in disbelief: "Mr. Zhou, this, this...... You mean, I, I can go to the Oscars? ”

"Pack up your things, I just don't need an assistant......"

"Good!" Jung Jun nodded excitedly.

………………………………

Airplanes flutter in the clouds.

Jung Jun held the script of "Struggle" and stared at the window of the plane very excitedly.

This is the first time he has taken a plane to the United States, and it is the first time he has stepped into Hollywood, the world movie palace!

As a Chinese street director, this is his dream place!

Zhou Yang next to him looked at the white clouds outside the window, but his heart was surprisingly calm.

There is nothing to expect.

Yes!

He didn't have any expectations for this trip to the Oscars, just to see the world in the past, and by the way, to see what the legendary Oscar looked like......

As for whether he can win the award, to be honest, Zhou Yang has no hope at all.

There is a high probability that they were accompanied by the past.

This is a movie that exposes the essence of old beauty.

Some of the content filmed in "Chainsaw" is too explicit, and each character is like a pair of hands, completely tearing apart the coat of freedom, peace, and equality of the old United States, revealing its ugly nature.

In the past, under the control of some invisible forces, a group of media would leave no room to suppress Zhou Yang in all directions, hoping that Zhou Yang would disappear in the entertainment industry, but in the past two days, it has continuously pushed up the popularity of "Chainsaw" and praised "Chainsaw" to the sky, and even the personal reports of Zhou Yang are also hyped, as if Zhou Yang has won the award......

And those media who are close to Zhou Yang will invariably use "congratulations" when they write about the "Chainsaw" Oscar ceremony, not only that, but also intentionally or unintentionally downplay the grievances between "Fatal Crisis" and "Chainsaw", and they don't even compare it with "Fatal Crisis......

Everyone knows that "Fatal Crisis" has a high probability of winning awards!

As a white supremacist Oscar, would the judges be willing to win a "Chainsaw" that exposes the ugliness of the family, or another "Fatal Crisis" that makes white people on the back and wanders in the bustling city?

The answer seems to be self-evident.

More than ten hours later......

The plane landed smoothly on the edge of the Los Angeles airport......

Zhou Yang carried his luggage and walked off the plane with Zheng Jun.

The airport in Los Angeles is clear, and the wind blowing not far away no longer carries the cold and solemnity, and seems to have a little warmth.

After Zhou Yang left the airport, he took out his mobile phone as soon as possible and changed it into an international card.

He didn't call Christian, but dialed Zhao Sicheng's number as soon as possible.

"Hey, Director Zhao?"

"Yes, I'm Zhou Yang, I'm in the United States now, I want to meet you......"

"Yes, I don't mean anything else, I just want to talk to you today, let's all talk calmly......"

"Not available today? So when are you free? I brought you a gift that won't be fresh if it's late......"

"Yes, this time I am indeed full of sincerity, you are now an American, we do not belong to the same nationality, just now I thought about it for a long time on the plane, I feel that some of the things I said before and did some things are indeed too inappropriate, I am deeply ashamed so I brought a gift here, and I plan to come to see you in person......"

"I'm very sincere, no, I just got off the plane and called you as soon as I got off......"

"Yes, I can't promise anything else, but I can guarantee that this gift will be something you will remember for the rest of your life......"

"Okay, I know, I'll go to your apartment, I won't bother you for a long time, I'll give you the gift and leave, this is a special heart for me and Director Huang......"

“……”

Zheng Jun was slightly stunned after listening to Zhou Yang's call.

He saw Zhou Yang smiling very brightly.

He was a little dazed.

He rummaged through his luggage, but couldn't find the so-called gift.

And Mr. Zhou and Zhao Sicheng ......

Doesn't seem to deal with it, right?

Could it be that because Mr. Zhou knew that "Fatal Crisis" would win an Oscar, it was speculated that Zhao Sicheng was very likely to become an international famous director in the future, so he came over in advance to eliminate the previous barrier?

When he thought of this possibility, Zheng Jun sighed slightly in his heart.

After calling Zhao Sicheng, Zheng Jun saw Zhou Yang take out his mobile phone and make a call to Christian.

Because the airport was noisy and Zhou Yang deliberately lowered his voice, Zheng Jun didn't hear what Zhou Yang was talking about, but vaguely felt that Zhou Yang was talking about some topics such as public security.

…………………………

"Everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous......

"But people grow."

"I suddenly admired Zhou Yang, he has enough talent, and at the same time, he knows how to bow his head, and he understands that this time is different from the past, so he came to repair the relationship with me."

"Only those who can bend and stretch are worth cultivating."

“……”

In the apartment.

Zhao Sicheng smiled happily.

He sighed with his wife for a word or two, then pushed his glasses, immersed in his identity as a U.S. citizen.

Judging from the official attitude of the Oscars and Fox Tom's attitude towards himself, it is almost a certainty that "Fatal Crisis" will win the award.

Today is different from the past, when he was a Chinese, he was submissive to everyone, and he was born with a sense of inferiority complex, but now when he became an American, he instantly felt that he was a noble and superior person......

His future is bright!

After "Fatal Crisis" won the Oscar, the box office of South Korea and R Ben is bound to be even hotter, and it is not a problem for the total box office of "Fatal Crisis" to exceed $100 million, although the box office is far lower than expected, but at least give Fox an explanation.

Meantime.

Those overseas investors will also look up to him and will continue to invest in his new films......

The situation is very good.

When he thought of this, he suddenly felt a little regretful.

Why didn't I decide to come to the United States earlier, but I wanted to keep my Chinese nationality?

"Are you going to forgive him like that?" The wife asked suddenly.

Of course, it is impossible to forgive him like this, although he understands the situation, it does not mean that the disrespect he had given me before was so lightly let go...... And, of course, we'll have to see what kind of gift he can bring that I'll never forget......"

"What gifts will he bring?"

"I don't know, but it's certainly not cheap." Zhao Sicheng smiled brightly.

It was at this time......

Ding dong!

He heard a knock at the door.

He asked his wife to open the door......

However, his wife then came over and said that Zhou Yang had been standing at the door and refused to come in, saying that he had to go out by himself.

Zhao Sicheng shook his head, feeling that Zhou Yang was probably nervous.

He stood up and walked over with a smile on his face.

"Yo, who should I be, it turned out to be our director Zhou Da, what's wrong? Is the sun coming out in the west today? ”

"Director Zhao......"

"Yo, yo, yo, I can't afford your voice Director Zhao, I'm not as good as you, I'm so powerful at a young age......"

"Director Zhao, I came to visit you very sincerely this time......"

After Zhao Sicheng saw Zhou Yang with his head lowered and his expression slightly twisted, his sarcasm deepened: "Yo, how can I be worthy of the sincerity of a great director like you......"

"Director Zhao, I brought you a gift, can you come over a little? I'll give you the gift and I'll go......"

"Tsk, what kind of gift is so mysterious......" Although Zhao Sicheng's expression was slightly mocking, he still subconsciously leaned over his face, and his eyes were slightly ridiculous.

It was at this time......

"Smack!"

He never dreamed that Zhou Yang, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head and suddenly gave him a big mouthful.
