April 3rd.

The first round of box office for overseas films was officially announced.

A few families are happy and a few are sad.

In the exclusive office of Xinghui Company, Zhou Yilin frowned deeply, he was quite happy that the box office of Huaxia had picked up, but when he saw his overseas box office, he was as disgusting as eating a fly.

"Full City Golden Armor", which was pinned on high hopes and tried to open up overseas markets, hit the box office in North America.

Ten days after its release, it grossed $4 million at the box office.

It's not even as good as the box office of "Cyborg", which was released for a month.

After seeing this data, he even thought he was wrong!

Yes, this movie, which is quite good at the box office in China, did not burst into a strong vitality in Lao Mei like "Hero", but pounced on it so much that he didn't even know his parents.

What makes Zhou Yilin even more speechless is that the $4 million in North America is the highest grossing place in the world except for China.

France $3.5 million......

South Korea: US$3.2 million......

Japan 1.1 million ......

……

Venezuela 3,000, 3,000 dollars at the box office.

The miserable data made Zhou Yilin feel like he was dreaming back to "Warring States".

Not right either!

This "Warring States" is even worse, no one wants the copyright to cut their throats, and Italy is still hoarding it and not broadcasting it......

Disappointment occupied Zhou Yilin's heart, and finally, he glanced at the assistant who was holding a stack of data materials: "How much do "Struggle" and "Jinyiwei" grossee in North America? ”

""Struggle" is about three million dollars, and "Jin Yiwei" is two million dollars......"

"It's been five days since 'Struggle' was released, right? Why is the box office so low? When Zhou Yilin opened the box office data of "Struggle", his eyes widened.

Million!

It's been five days since it was released, and the box office is so low that Zhou Yilin is a little unbelievable.

In his impression, the influence of "Struggle" should be very terrifying in Lao Mei, not to mention that the box office is worse than "Chainsaw", but at least it can't be much worse, right?

However, the figure of three million dollars is too starring.

"This movie is one of the "limited release" movies in Lao Mei, and it is only scheduled to be released in a few theaters......"

"Why is it "restricted", there are no restrictions on screening in China......" Zhou Yilin frowned deeply.

"This is the meaning of some high-level departments in the United States, but also the meaning of the old American military, as well as the meaning of all Hollywood filmmakers except Warner...... the movie "Interstellar", the eight major pictures in the United States have more or less invested in this movie" The assistant subconsciously glanced around, and then said this sentence softly.

"Is this movie ......" Zhou Yilin's expression was stunned, and then his eyes widened as if he thought of something.

"I don't know yet, but there is still a controversy in Cannes, and I heard that the judges are arguing fiercely......"

“……”

…………………………

April 4th.

Ching ming festival.

Zhou Yang received a message from Christian again.

Not so much good news.

Cannes is still arguing over "Struggle", and some judges are like mad dogs, not only wanting the film to be shortlisted, but also wanting the film to win an award.

They feel that this film is a respect for life, full of awe, and a film spirit that a filmmaker must maintain.

Another wave of judges rejected the film, giving many specious reasons that the film would bring disaster to Cannes.

"Why the Calamity?"

In the car, Zhou Yang asked this question.

"Do you remember those two explosions when you were saved?" Christian's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Remember, what's wrong?"

"There is something very suspicious about those two explosions......"

"What's suspicious?"

"It may not be the terrorists who killed Bars and the photographer who really killed them, but their own people."

"You mean ......"

"Yes, the movie is very likely to be one of the evidences, "Struggle" is not only limited in the United States, but it is also difficult to sell the rights in other places......"

in the car.

After Zhou Yang hung up the phone, he fell into a long silence.

He looked at the regressing scenery outside the window, looked at the familiar streets and alleys, and recalled the bits and pieces of his childhood in his mind, which were both strange and real.

This is his hometown in this world, Los Angeles, Hexian.

A small city that takes a long time to find on the map, although it is not a poor county, it is relatively backward, and there are mountains everywhere.

"Master, that's it."

"Howler! Wait, lad, I've always felt like you're like that, that star......"

"Which one?"

"That's it, that's it...... It seems to be a singer, and my niece likes it. ”

"Hahaha, it looks like I'm a star!"

"yes, do you want to go to those parody shows like Sunshine Boulevard? ”

"If you have the chance, you really want to try it, maybe you can become famous overnight, haha."

"Haha, yes, yes!"

The driver is a middle-aged man in his forties, who looks very talkative and hearty.

He looked left and right at Zhou Yang through the rearview mirror, and only felt that Zhou Yang was very familiar, but after looking at it for a long time, he still couldn't remember who Zhou Yang was.

thinks Zhou Yang looks like a star, but no star wears such a dirty bun......

When leaving, he chatted with Zhou Yang with a smile, Zhou Yang's originally somewhat gloomy mood was slightly diluted after meeting this driver, but after walking into the alleys, the emotions in Zhou Yang's heart were inexplicably tightened.

Although the years have changed, the big sisters at the end of the alley are still very enthusiastic, they smoke cigarettes, show enthusiastic smiles, greet all the guests who pass by, and generously invite everyone to sit and talk about the shortcomings of the parents......

After buying some firecrackers at the candle shop, he bought some cooked food, fruit, and wine, and took them up the hill.

Small county towns are not as busy as big cities, the air in the mountains is very fresh, the only bad thing is that it has just finished a light rain, and the road is full of mud.

He glanced at the mountain in the distance, and Zhou Yang remembered that the day he was buried with his father's ashes was also in this weather.

When he came to the top of the mountain, he silently looked at the grave that was already overgrown with weeds, and his heart was not happy.

After he fell ill, the house was sold, and his relatives avoided him, and if he hadn't come, I don't know how many years later, this place would have become a complete desolate grave.

In addition to a little sigh in Zhou Yang's heart, there was also a sigh.

After pulling the grass, Zhou Yang silently put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, looking at the grave bag without a tombstone.

"Last year was too busy."

"Come and see you this year......"

"In the future, if there is no accident, I will come every year and talk to you......"

"I'll buy the ancestral house back, don't worry."

"Along the way, I met a lot of good people and experienced a lot of wonderful stories......"

“……”

Zhou Yang said a lot of things as he spoke, and in the end he couldn't control himself.

Memories are like springs, but they are vivid.

Zhou Yang is not grateful for that period of suffering, the only thing he is grateful for is probably that he has insisted on not giving up in the difficult days.

Two hours passed, and Zhou Yang realized that he had been talking to himself for a long time, and he stood up silently.

……………………

L.a..

The School of Special Education remains calm.

Zhou Yang wore a mask and hat and got out of the car, and when he took out the pass, the security guard took a look at it and hurriedly let him go.

After passing through a long and narrow aisle, Zhou Yang nodded with satisfaction after looking at the brand-new teaching building.

It seems that, as written in the letter, all the money I donated was used to build a new school building.

Zhou Yang came to the aisle on the edge of the classroom and stopped, he watched the children are serious in class, stumbling and reading is very loud, and those children who can't speak, under the guidance of the teacher, do all kinds of sign language, after watching for a while, he came to the principal's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

"Hello, you are ......"

"Principal Jin, it's me, Zhou Yang."

"Mr. Zhou, why did you come here in person?"

When he saw Zhou Yang take off his mask and hat, Principal Kim Jong-kook's eyes widened and he stood up from his chair in an instant.

In the days when "Invisible Wings" and "The Girl with Wings" were on fire, Zhou Yang donated a lot of money, one of which was donated to this school.

Although anonymous to the outside world, Principal Jin knew that the two had been in contact with each other in the form of Q dogs for more than a year, and some of the children's letters were also sent by Principal Jin on his behalf.

"Sweep the tomb on the Qingming Festival, come and see ...... by the way" Zhou Yang laughed: "By the way, Principal Jin, can you let those children who like to sing come over, let me take a look?" I was just about to prepare a new movie, and I wanted to get a title song to see if the children's voices were suitable......"

"Ah, no problem!" After hearing this, Principal Jin hurriedly nodded: "Which children are they?" ”

"Xu Zhenghao, Zhang Liangliang, Niu Li who like to sing, ......"

"Mr. Zhou, are you reading those letters?" When he saw Zhou Yang preparing to report those names, Kim Jong Kook was a little surprised.

"Well, there's something to watch." Zhou Yang nodded.

"Okay! You can rest here for a while, I'll call you, I'll pour you a glass of water, by the way, Mr. Zhou, this is the details of the use of the three million yuan you donated, and recently we have expanded some accommodation conditions and extracurricular reading for the children...... "When Kim Jong Kook was about to stand up, as if he thought of something, he immediately took out a stack of bills from the locked drawer and put them on the table.

"Well, I'll take a look, by the way, Principal Jin, why don't you wait for the children to get out of class, and try not to disturb them during class......" Zhou Yang nodded, took the bill and looked at it silently.

"It's okay, class is almost out of class at this point!"

Kim Jung Kook Xu left the office, and just as he was leaving, he heard the vibrating sound of his mobile phone, and he subconsciously answered the phone...

"Hey, Principal Kim! We, Han Chong, are coming soon, you can take the children out to greet us, we have brought a lot of gifts, and many media have also come over, we plan to donate 100,000 yuan to the school......"

"Sorry, can I change the day? It's not very convenient today......"

"Principal Kim, what are you talking about? We have brought it to the media, how can we change the day? Our Han Chong is very busy, it is very rare to come here today, and this time it is a live broadcast, there are millions of Han Chong's fans watching on the Internet, how can we let the fans down......"

"You didn't come over and didn't notify us in advance, it's ......"

"Isn't it a notice now? Okay, we'll be here in thirty minutes, and you tell the students to come out and greet them...... This can give your school popularity, what a good thing......"
