April flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was May.

The faint scent of flowers permeated the air, a little less chill of early spring and a little more heat wave of early summer.

"The Grandmaster" was released for twenty days.

The box office finally reached an astonishing 350 million, becoming a symbol of the new era of Chinese films.

Some people are envious, some people cheer, some people are jealous, and naturally some people are excited.

It's normal, there are all kinds of people in this circle.

With the fire of "The Grandmaster", Hong Kong films have also set off a martial arts boom, and countless movies have queued up to apply, scooping up all the names of martial artists in the Republic of China era, as if it once made people return to the peak era of Shaw Brothers martial arts.

However......

By the time it was May, all the filmmakers had a trace of regret and pity in their hearts.

I'm afraid that "The Grandmaster" will not reach 450 million.

May Day Golden Week is as lively as usual.

Many people who were bruised by their work were given a brief respite at this moment.

Although you know that travel will be crowded, and travel is just a matter of people looking at people and looking at their heads, countless shopping malls and attractions are always crowded, and walking in them, you can fully feel that this bustling world is full of crowds and suffocation.

The major theaters across the country naturally ushered in the first peak of movie-watching this year, and many screening halls were full on this day, and the craze was surging.

On the evening of May 1, "Interstellar" was officially painted.

The final box office of the film was fixed at 480 million.

This well-received old American sci-fi movie did not surpass the 530 million of "Jurassic" at the Chinese box office as expected, but ended in regret.

The painting of "Interstellar" did not increase the film schedule of "The Grandmaster", but was occupied by the new movie "Sewell".

The box office of "The Grandmaster" on May Day was not ideal, and the popularity gradually disappeared and was hit by Hollywood blockbusters, and the single-day box office only got 7 million.

Although seven million is not a small amount for a movie that has been released for 20 days, such a speechless performance during the May Day Golden Week is destined to dive at the box office in the next few days.

"Golden Armor in the City" had a box office of 3 million on the same day, and it was released for a month, and it was on the verge of being painted.

The Cannes International Film Festival's "Struggle" shines on the Internet, many people are clamoring to watch it for the second time, it is strong but strong, and the box office is still 4 million, but everyone knows that this documentary film is almost at the end, and the only suspense is that it can go one step further and break through to 170 million yuan.

It's hard, though.

Released for a month.

Everyone who should watch it has watched it, and no matter how much it wins at Cannes, it can't avoid the decline of the film.

This is a documentary film.

Strictly speaking, this movie is full of labels such as unpopular and niche.

The box office was close to 150 million in one month after its release, which is one of the few miracles in the history of Chinese films.

[30 million, 30 million box office on the first day, breaking the historical record of Chinese films again! ] 】

May 2nd.

Countless filmmakers have seen the premiere box office report of "Sewell".

They felt so incredulous that their first instinct was that they were mistaken.

The box office of the premiere broke 30 million!

What is this concept?

At the beginning of the year, "Jurassic" topped the global box office, and the box office was only 23 million yuan on the opening day!

Although it is the May Day Golden Week, this amazing box office is really exaggerated!

Nima!

"Jurassic" has not yet sat on the box office throne, and now it is about to be pulled down?

…………………………

Zhou Yang took the time to watch "Sewell".

After reading it, I sat silently on the chair and reminisced about the plot for a long time.

This is a nautical movie.

In this world, there are so many Hollywood movies, and if you really want to say that nautical movies can be traced back to a movie called "The Captain" in the 70s.

At that time, the film cost a huge sum of 10 million dollars, and when it was filmed, director Mel even declared that he wanted to become a movie like James. A founding grandmaster like Bonth.

The staggering investment and the ambition of the ambitious director undoubtedly made the film, called "The Captain", famous.

However, in the end, the box office of "The Captain" was very bad, and director Mel became a victim of the movie.

He couldn't stand the blow and committed suicide by drinking bullets at home, and when he was found by his family, it was already two hours later.

In the decades since, no one has ever touched this kind of film again, and even if there is a director who is not afraid of death, it will end up hitting the street without exception.

However, "Sewell" decades later has shown everyone that this kind of film can not only be made, but also made well.

The imaginative ocean world, the thrilling plot of the movie, and the vivid and unique character of each movie......

Zhou Yang remembered that on the way back to the office after reminiscing about "Sewell", he was always amazed in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to watch it a second time.

After returning to the office, he couldn't help but completely record what he saw in the movie and the lens language, and pondered and studied it repeatedly, and finally came to the conclusion that he couldn't make such a movie, at least now he is completely incapable of controlling it.

After Zhou Yang checked the director of this movie, he was even more shocked.

The director's name is Cardulph, and he is a little-known little director in Hollywood, who has served as an assistant director on films such as "Interstellar", "War", "Academy of Magic", etc., but has never directed any films before "Sewell".

After reading Cardleff's resume, and seeing that he was only thirty years old, Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

There are always some amazing geniuses in this world.

Noon on May 2.

Zhou Yang made a series of summaries of what he learned in the movie "Sewell", and marked his personal understanding experience on each learning point line, and then put down his pen.

"Mr. Zhou, Li Qiang, the head of the photography team of "Infernal Affairs", is here and asks us about the shooting plan of the movie, do you have time to meet us now?"

"Well, okay, let's see."

Once when filming "The Bottom of the Mine", the leader of the photography team was named Qian Wei.

Although they have endured hardships together and risked their lives to make movies together, during that turbulent time in Huaxing, Qian Wei led a group of people to leave Huaxing and join Xinghui, and during that time, the entire Huaxing film crew almost came to a standstill.

Later, Li Qiang stood up.

He is one of the few people who did not leave Qian Wei, although he was an intern at the beginning, no one cared, and even Feng Kai felt that it was dispensable, but after the baptism of "Jin Yiwei", Feng Kai was surprised to find that this intern grew rapidly, and in the later stage of "Jin Yi Wei", he was not only able to lead the team independently, but also completed a series of shooting tasks that Feng Kai found tricky.

Zhou Yang was very impressed by Li Qiang.

Feng Kai has praised him many times since "Jinyiwei", and Zhou Yang's ears have heard the cocoon.

"Mr. Zhou......"

Li Qiang pushed the door in and stood honestly in front of Zhou Yang.

He wore eyes, his skin was dark, he didn't look mature, he still retained a trace of immaturity when he was an intern, but his eyes were shining, and his whole body was full of energy.

He looked at Zhou Yang, his expression couldn't hide his fanaticism.

Starting from "The Bottom of the Mine", I witnessed the rise of Zhou Yang step by step, not only being infected by the inspiration that came along the way, but also looking forward to the future of my upcoming cooperation with Zhou Yang again.

"Xiao Li, this is the shooting plan."

"Good!"

Li Qiang took the plan handed over by Zhou Yang and couldn't wait to flip through it.

He found that there were not only complete shooting projects in the plan, but also storyboards drawn by Zhou Yang himself.

Every important shot of the movie is in it, and it is amazing that after looking at a few paintings, he unconsciously appeared in his mind the actions and rich lens language when shooting the picture.

This plan can even be used as a template textbook for teaching.

"Xiao Li, I'm probably going to show such an effect, you should be able to understand it, right?"

"Yes! It's so detailed, I can understand it even as a recent college graduate! This is the most detailed plan I've ever seen! Li Qiang nodded desperately, and his voice was indescribably excited.

With this plan, he just needs to follow Zhou Yang's instructions to shoot!

After the excitement was over, I lost my mind for a moment.

When filming "Mine Bottom" two years ago, who would have thought that such a layman from a wild background would one day write such a detailed and professional shooting plan?

He clutched the plan tightly.

It was as if he had seen the sweat that had flowed down for countless days and nights.

"Well, let's get back to work."

"Good! Mr. Zhou ...... "Just when Li Qiang was about to leave, he suddenly stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yang was strange.

"Qian Wei and Zhang Lei will definitely regret the stupid decision they made at the beginning......"

"Why regret it?" Zhou Yang smiled and then looked out the window thoughtfully: "They should not be bad with Django now, they are also involved in Django's "Mechanical Man", I heard that they make a lot of money, everyone has their own way, we can't say whether he is right or wrong......"

"Time will tell, and they will eventually become an after-dinner joke in the rolling new era......"

"You seem to have an issue with them?" Zhou Yang asked.

"My teacher told me that choice is more important than hard work, actually, well, it's nothing ......" Li Qiang scratched his head, and then wanted to say something arrogant, but then felt that it was not appropriate.

As he left the office, he looked at Hua Xing coming and going, and a trace of fighting spirit flashed on his face.

He pulled out his phone and saw the camera crew in Django's "Nightcrawler".

There is Qian Wei in it, and it is an important position.

That year!

Starlight offered everyone a high price, but forgot about him.

After all, he was an intern, he could understand, and he never thought of leaving Huaxing.

But......

An imbalance and resentment have always become the driving force for him to move forward in his heart.

Zhou Yang is growing, and the once ordinary intern is also growing......

Now everyone is on the same starting line.

So.

Let's prove who is more valuable!

……………………

Mr. Zhou...... The contact with the actor side did not go well......"

"Some of the actors we originally planned to contact, except for Liu Tianwang and Zhao Shaohui and Zhao Tianwang, many people were cut off by "Night Walker"...... Don't they know our backstage? ”

After Li Qiang left, Xu Mei walked in again.

It's just that......

This time, his expression became a little incredulous.
