"Chainsaw" has been painted by Lao Mei for a long time, but its influence is still amazing.

Hundreds of thousands of investments.

More than $100 million at the box office.

Shooting doesn't need to be difficult, just a blood-soaked survival scene.

Low risk, high reward, and a lot of hungry fans are waiting for the arrival of "Saw 2......

Everything is enough to drive a lot of old American filmmakers crazy.

In February of this year.

Lao Mei's similar escape room movies are almost in a blowout shooting state.

And almost all of these filmed films were squeezed into April.

Zhou Yang opened the pre-sale tickets for the movie that Lao Mei will release in April, or the upcoming movie.

After reading it, he was dumbfounded.

No one could have imagined that since the popularity of "Interstellar" has gradually faded, it is not other blockbusters that occupy the movie schedule of Lao Mei in April, but movies with similar names such as "Chainsaw Massacre", "Chainsaw Night", "Chainsaw Grave" and "My Chainsaw".

Moreover, the box office of these movies is actually good, and after watching it again, Zhou Yang didn't find one that hit the street.

After seeing the introduction of these scripts, Zhou Yang felt a sense of familiarity.

Nearly every movie has a hapless black friend, an evil white guy behind the scenes, and a series of almost cursing lines.

All movies are like a template, but you can't sue them for plagiarism or infringement.

"Mr. Zhou, your "Chainsaw" has set off a chainsaw trend in the United States, and the game company sees the potential of "Chainsaw" and hopes to buy the game adaptation rights and authorship rights of the movie......"

On the phone, Jung Jun's voice was excited and crazy.

It's like making a fortune.

…………………………

This year's Cannes International Film Festival exudes a serious and suffocating atmosphere inside and out.

Although many of the filmmakers tried to hide this feeling of oppression with a smile, fans could feel that this year's Cannes was extraordinary.

Chairman Steve. Ferres used to be a Norwegian director, in the 80s of the last century, he made a lot of bold art films in the international film circle, and was boycotted, threatened, and banned several times, but he did not sink into a slump because of this, but his status in the film industry became higher and higher, and he was even worshiped as a god-like existence by many filmmakers.

In a way, art doesn't need to be mediocre.

Not only is it not necessary, but it needs to be maverick and fanatical, preferably the kind that can dedicate oneself to art.

The same is true of the so-called cinematic arts.

Steve. Ferres appeared in the premiere of the 28 Cannes films this year, and every time he appeared, he attracted a lot of attention, just like the king of Cannes.

This year's Cannes Film Festival has been quite controversial.

Although anti-war films have always been frequent guests at film festival awards ceremonies.

The anti-war film "The End of Bella", which won the Berlin Golden Bear Award last year, has received rave reviews.

But this year's "Celsius 911" is too bold and explicit.

"Bella's Doomsday" only focuses on the civilians in Iraq, and the depiction of the war is very limited and obscure, while this "Celsius 911" almost pulls off all the underwear of Lao Mei and presents it naked in front of everyone, with the premiere of this "Celsius 911" in Cannes, Lao Mei's current has been criticized and cursed by many media, and public opinion once fell to the lowest point of taking office, and even protests and condemnations appeared on a large scale.

The oppressive and suffocating atmosphere of this year's Cannes is almost entirely due to this film.

A few days after the premiere of the film, even filmmakers from various countries felt that Michael. Morgan probably won't survive the awards ceremony, and even predicts that he will go on stage and receive the award before he even receives the award.

Of course, director Michael. Morgan doesn't care about any of this stuff at all.

Artists are very fanatical, especially for an artist like him, who is paranoid in his bones, if he can really die on the stage, then he will definitely go down in history.

February 24.

Michael. Morgan finally met Zhou Yang, who was in his heart.

In Christian's mouth, he doesn't know how many times he has heard the legendary story about Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang in the story is full of wisdom, alertness, paranoia and fanaticism......

Artists are lonely, like lone wolves, who live forever in unknown corners, but they also need recognition and companionship.

He felt that Zhou Yang should also be such a person.

A fighter, a hero!

When I first met Zhou Yang, Michael. Morgan was pleasantly surprised.

The oriental director seems to be immersed in his own world, silent and handsome when facing himself, but he reveals a cold sense of solemnity, and he doesn't like the excessive interviews and attention of reporters as much as himself, and the windbreaker wraps him extremely tightly, as if he is separated from two worlds, instinctively resisting the reporters outside.

He rarely talks about movies.

When facing himself, he just nodded his head, and when he ate together, he ate the dishes on his plate cleanly, as if he had been cleaned.

After eating, politely declined himself and Christian, and even the chairman Steve. Ferres's invitation hid in his room, and he didn't even go to the screening room of "Struggle", and he didn't accept any interviews from reporters under any name.

"He doesn't like crowded places, more often, he likes to be alone, of course, his personality is very changeable, sometimes he is crazy about blood, sometimes he feels disgusting, he hates interviews, at least when I knew him, he never took the initiative to do interviews, his character is actually very paranoid, of course, his personality is also very eccentric, and he seems to have been suppressing violent tendencies that can't be ......" Christian took a sip of tea and watched the night outside Cannes.

"I think he's more of a sensitive, lonely night walker...... "Chairman Steve. Ferres was not disgusted by this, and sighed in his heart: "It reminds me of myself when I was young......"

"I think he's a proud man, and when I eat with him, I feel a bit of pride in his bones, and he seems to look down on anyone...... "Michael. Morgan nodded, he agreed.

……………………

"Boss, Mr. Christian invited you to dinner, would you come over?"

"No, no."

"Oh, boss, and Mr. Cameron, the photographer, would you like to take a picture of you so that it can be taken?"

"Forget it."

In the room, Xu Mei nodded, and then left.

And Zhou Yang looked out the window, his eyes were complicated.

He didn't look down on anyone.

He simply felt that he should keep his distance from these people, and the farther away the better.

When he saw Christian, he felt that Christian seemed to be more fanatical than before, and his speech was full of all kinds of dangerous remarks, which made Zhou Yang's spine chill when he heard it.

Christian was at the dinner table, chatting about the beauty of the moment, chatting with the people, following the criticism, and even clapping the table.

He met with Chairman Steve. Ferres, Steve. Ferres gave Zhou Yang the impression of a very sensitive and paranoid artist, although his speech was very calm, Zhou Yang felt that this person was very dangerous, as if it was a time bomb that would explode at any time, especially when he stared at himself, Zhou Yang couldn't help but have his heart beating wildly.

He also met with the director of "Celsius 911". Morgan, his mind is quite dangerous, and he even imagines with Christian that he might be shot by fanatics on stage, and if that's the case, I hope Christian can take a good picture of him being shot and tell his son that he is a hero!

Immediately afterward, he began to talk about how he would die, whether the bullet would go through his head or his chest, and how he should fall down decently.

Zhou Yang listened to Michael. Morgan spoke, and his mind went blank after seeing the fiery look of anticipation in his eyes.

He thinks this guy is simply a psychopath.

On the evening of February 25.

Zhou Yang heard a knock at the door.

Subsequently......

Vail. Smith arrives and brings a flat-headed, short, old black American director whose name is Chels.

Vail. Smith is the most normal person Zhou Yang has seen, he didn't talk to Zhou Yang about how Lao Mei is, but introduced the black director Chelse to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang subconsciously glanced at Chels, and inexplicably began to be vigilant again.

Chels wanted to make a sci-fi movie.

There was a vague concept and idea, but the idea was very vague and could not form a specific script, Chels found a lot of screenwriters to tell them his ideas, and also tried to get people to write a lot of scripts, but they were not satisfied.

So Veil. Smith introduced Zhou Yang to him, and it happened that this time in Cannes, Chels also had works shortlisted, so he came to Zhou Yang to talk about the script.

"Mr. Zhou Yang, I like your "Chainsaw", I heard that a game company bought the adaptation rights of "Chainsaw" from you?"

"Haha, thank you, I like your Sunset too, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the only sci-fi film in Cannes to be shortlisted, right?"

"yes, yes."

Under the rendering of some well-intentioned people in Lao Mei, Zhou Yang is very popular among the black community.

Chels actually doesn't have any hope for this trip, in his inherent impression, Zhou Yang has always made realistic literary films, biased towards the grassroots at the bottom, the movie he wants to make is a science fiction movie, and it is best to add a commercial movie with a comedy atmosphere, which is really contrary to Zhou Yang, but it is actually quite good to meet Zhou Yang and chat.

Zhou Yang chatted with Chels and found that Chels was also a normal person, without any paranoia and fanaticism, he showed a smile, and his sense of vigilance slowly disappeared.

Subsequently......

They chatted about the new movie.

Mr. Zhou Yang...... You okay? After Chels finished his thoughts, he found that Zhou Yang didn't seem to be listening carefully, but kept looking at Will. Smith, he frowned slightly.

"Mr. Chels, wait a minute."

About ten minutes later......

Chels looked at Zhou Yang in a daze and handed over a script outline.

He subconsciously took it.

He saw the name of the script in three Chinese characters.

"Men in Black".
