Chapter 343: Crazy?
"Lighthouse by the Sea" tells the story of two lonely tower keepers.
Adapted from the work "Lighthouse" by a famous writer in Lao Mei.
This film was a sensation in the eighties of this world, and indirectly promoted the legal protection and support of special group love.
The adaptation rights were bought early on by director Marivane, who spent nearly a decade preparing the film......
After Zhou Yang flipped through the script slightly, he suddenly felt that this movie was very similar to a fragment of "Brokeback Mountain", but there didn't seem to be a direct or indirect intimacy shot.
The script is not uncomfortable to read, at least the script adapted by director Marivane seems to be purely written about the toil and loneliness of the night watchman of the lonely island.
There's really nothing to change in the script.
Zhou Yang didn't know Lao Mei's current environment, let alone what those lighthouse people were like, but he made some adjustments to some trivial script lines and wrote some self-righteous suggestions.
After writing it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he threw the suggestion into the trash can again and handed the script to Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen glanced at the advice on the trash can, and then looked at Zhou Yang in confusion.
"Director Zhou, wouldn't it be a pity to do this......
"There's nothing to be sorry for, this script is very good, there are no problems, and there is nothing to add."
"Okay."
Zhao Zhen is a signed artist of Huaxing......
Every film received naturally has to go through Huaxing's contract and review process.
The salary given by the other party for the movie "Lighthouse by the Sea" is two million US dollars, although this is not enough in front of many first-line celebrities, but it is a lot of income for Zhao Zhen, the most important thing is that this is the first protagonist in his career, although he is the heroine, he also cherishes it very much.
After signing the contract, Zhao Zhen was obviously very happy.
But then, as if thinking of something, he hesitated for a while, and looked at Zhou Yang as if he had mustered up courage: "Director Zhou, what is in the trash can, can I, can I take a look?" ”
"Well, if you're interested, take a look, but it's a mess, and there's nothing to see."
"It's fine!"
When he heard Zhou Yang's agreement, Zhao Zhenru was a treasure.
He lowered his head and took out the crumpled scratch paper from the trash can, and carefully stuffed it into his arms: "Director Zhou, then I used to ponder the script of "Infernal Affairs"?"
"Go for it......"
Zhou Yang smiled and nodded.
Not long after Zhao Zhen left, there was a knock on the door in the office.
Zhou Yang looked up.
James. Bunt pushed the door.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, you are very talented and will go far on the road of movies, this note is given to you, I hope it will help you......"
James. Bont is gone.
He originally wanted to give "Infernal Affairs" some help to repay Zhou Yang's favor for the script of "Jaws", but later found that "Infernal Affairs" did not need any help, and after thinking about it again, he finally gave Zhou Yang the "Movie Notes" he had sorted out over the years.
He is quite optimistic about Zhou Yang.
After Zhou Yang took over "Movie Notes", if he got a treasure, he sent James . Bont couldn't wait to see it as soon as he left.
The notes are not only about the director, but also about the actors, about the set, about the equipment and the storyboard, which are so detailed that Zhou Yang is eye-opening.
…………………………
The days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was May 20th.
After the craze for "The Grandmaster" gradually subsided, the Chinese film industry in May made countless filmmakers feel the pressure.
"Sewell" was released for twenty days
The box office reached a staggering 400 million yuan.
There seems to be no suspense about the box office record of "Jurassic" of 530 million.
No one could have imagined that the director, including the director himself, Khadelph, did not expect this movie to be so awesome, and even "Jurassic", the king of Hollywood horror films, could be killed.
Of course, he was excited, excited, even ambitious......
When he was invited by the Huaxia Film Association, he was actually reluctant to come to Huaxia.
He actually looks down on these Chinese filmmakers, and he is born with an inexplicable sense of superiority.
It seems that over the years, any movie made can be sold in China as long as it is named in Hollywood.
In fact, it is true, and there is no way to refute it.
When he came to Huaxia, the group headed by the Huaxia Film Association gave him a very high-standard reception......
He saw a pair of adoring and fiery eyes, countless young directors were by his side, and all kinds of praise were endless.
Once he becomes a god, he is naturally in the limelight.
In the midst of the staggering, he inevitably swelled, although he still had a smile on the surface, he looked down on these directors in Huaxia more and more.
No wonder these people can't make any good movies, they are all "movie savages" who have never seen the world.
When he returned to Hollywood, when he was interviewed by reporters, he smiled brightly and said some decent things.
But after looking back and seeing the accompanying staff, when he was asked by the assistant director how he felt about Huaxia, there was a bright and indifferent smile on his face.
"These filmmakers, it's not a big deal at all......"
"History is always strikingly similar......"
"It is undeniable that there will be some stubborn resistance in the future, but the Chinese film industry is actually our colony ......"
"I'm just going to the colony."
He was laughing.
The assistant director also laughed.
Just when everyone was very happy, he received a phone call, and not long after, he saw a Chinese man come to him respectfully.
"You ......"
"My name is Zhao Sicheng......"
"Oh? Director Zhao? After seeing this person, Cardulf vaguely seemed to have some impressions, as if he had quarreled quite badly with another Huaxia director named Zhou Yang before.
"Yes!"
"...... you look for me"
"I want to make a movie and need your help......"
"Why do you need my help?"
"I don't want anyone in Hollywood, I have nothing, but I have a good script......"
“……”
……………………
May has passed in a hurry.
In the blink of an eye, it's June.
It's getting hotter.
"Night Walker" has invested in publicity is simply amazing, not only spending money to buy the most well-known media hot searches on Hong Kong Island and the mainland, but also the words ""Night Walker" appear almost every day on Weibo, the content is either the scandal of the hero and heroine, or what sparks have been sparked by the king and queen, or how difficult the filming is, how difficult the shooting is, what conflicts do director Jiang Ge and Zhao Shaohui, Zhao Tianwang and others in the crew have......
In short, what news attracts people's attention and how to come.
I don't know if the promotion of "Night Walker" is too violent, but "Infernal Affairs" seems unusually quiet.
Countless reporters gathered outside the crew of "Infernal Affairs", but they were stunned and squatted for nearly half a month without filming any news, which was so low-key that it was incredible.
When he finally caught Liu Tianwang, Liu Tianwang looked confused.
"Honestly......"
"It's been almost a month since I made the movie "Infernal Affairs", and I don't even know what I'm filming......"
"I don't have a full script, I just know that I play a very upright and righteous policeman in it."
When asked about John. William Puth, Liu Tianwang shook his head: "I don't know, he hasn't been to the crew......"
Obviously, such an answer can't form a breaking point, at most it is news like "The Mysterious Script of "Infernal Affairs", and netizens can't pay much attention to it.
Time goes on day by day.
All the media wanted to dig up the news of "Infernal Affairs", but after digging for a long time, they found that they couldn't dig up anything at all.
Over time, the originally lively media began to pay less attention to "Infernal Affairs". William Puth's media felt like a fool.
How could Zhou Yang make up some amazing tunes and then attract John. William Puss's attention?
Isn't that?
Although he knows a little bit of music and has some talent, how long has he been in contact with music? And with John. The gap between William Puth is really a world of difference!
What kind of great tunes can be made here, isn't this the same as the sow will be on the tree?
How can there be such nonsense in this world?
"Of course I believe in Mr. Zhou Yang's talent."
"But what do you say?"
"There is some gossip, but it is not guaranteed to be true, today is just a casual chat......"
"Probably the crew of "Infernal Affairs" spent a lot of money to invite John. William Puss helped compose the episode of "Infernal Affairs" and then asked John to write about it. William Puss helped hype up the ......"
"Of course, I don't believe in this gossip, I don't think Mr. Zhou Yang needs to be like this, I believe in Mr. Zhou Yang's personality more, I don't think this is hype, maybe it's a misunderstanding......"
"You know, in this era of Internet traffic, there are a lot of things that are rumored to be false, and three people become tigers, who knows......"
June 3rd.
After Django was asked about "Infernal Affairs" during an interview with reporters, Django may have drunk too much and said pertinent things with a smile in front of reporters.
But......
Sometimes life is really full of drama.
When Django said these words in front of all the media and returned to the crew.
He saw his assistant walk in with a solemn face.
"John. William Puth seems to have been driven crazy by Zhou Yang! ”
"What? What's crazy? Django listened to his assistant's words, a little stunned, and then his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Just now, a friend of mine in Infernal Affairs told me that John. William Puss seemed to cry and laugh at times, and sometimes smash things in anger...... Especially when I saw Zhou Yang, John. William Puce's emotions seemed to be extremely excited, although his friends were far away and did not know that Zhou Yang and John. William Puss said something but John. William Pus's performance was very abnormal, as if he was scolding something unfair...... God's partiality and the like......"
"Is the message accurate?" Django frowned.
"It should be true!" The assistant's expression became more and more solemn.
