in the office.

Smoke rises in a small space.

The sun shone through the window, shining on the floor full of cigarette butts, and the unpleasant smell of tar made the assistant gasp.

She was so close to the window that she could open it with a lift of her hand and let the wind blow into the office to dispel the foul smell.

But she finally stood motionless, enduring the hellish conditions.

The atmosphere is becoming more and more depressing, and it also makes people more and more panicked.

Faintly, it was as if I could hear my own heartbeat.

She looked at the middle-aged man sitting in her seat.

Among the five generations of directors in China, he is one of the most famous and weighty directors.

In the future, if you want to tell the story of the five generations of directors in China, this middle-aged man will definitely not be ignored.

But.

He has always been very calm, and he seems to have a very complicated mood at this moment, when Taishan collapses in front of him.

smoked cigarettes one by one, looked at the box office data of "Night Walker" over and over again, his eyes were so smoky that he blinked, but he still revealed a sense of confusion.

Yes.

It should be a sense of confusion.

"The box office, it's not satisfactory, it's okay." After the oppressive atmosphere lasted for I don't know how long, the middle-aged man finally said this.

With that, he placed the box office data book on the table and looked at the ceiling.

His eyes seemed a little depressed, and then he seemed to be relieved, and then turned into a little frustration.

The assistant of the "......" did not answer his words.

On the fourth day of "Night Walker", the box office was 20 million, and the total box office exceeded 100 million in four days after its release!

A year ago, or half a year ago, this data was absolutely amazing and shocking.

But now, this data obviously does not meet Cao Bangguo's psychological expectations.

There was a great sense of disparity in his heart.

"How's the overseas box office?"

"The total box office in more than 30 overseas countries is 10 million US dollars, and the North American side is 3 million ......"

"Oh, it's okay." After Cao Bangguo heard that the concept of helping the overseas box office was released, a rare smile finally appeared on his face.

Broke $10 million at the box office in four days.

This is the export result of a hit movie.

If it works well, it is not difficult for the overseas box office to break 100 million, and it can be regarded as a new milestone for Chinese local films to be exported overseas.

But Cao Bangguo's smile gradually began to disappear again after seeing several movies to be released in Hollywood in the future, and began to become extremely dignified.

"Men in Black" in late August, "Z-Men" in early September, and, the upcoming "Infernal Affairs".

When his eyes were fixed on "Infernal Affairs", he felt particularly dazzling, especially when he saw Zhou Yang's handsome face exposed in the C position in the poster, and after the angle with Liu Tianwang's side face, the sense of piercing eyes became even stronger.

Many years ago.

Cao Bangguo probably couldn't have imagined that there would be such an awesome character in the Chinese film industry.

In the conference room a year ago.

He probably couldn't have imagined that this ordinary young director would not be suppressed and quit like other predecessors, and finally disappeared from everyone, but made an earth-shattering uproar.

[International saxophone master Kenneth called the "Homecoming" saxophone song, which is simply a masterpiece! 】

A news headline flashed through Cao Bangguo's mind.

He has lived for so many years, and he has seen countless strange things, but this kind of thing is too unbelievable, like "fake news".

But Cao Bangguo didn't have the same emotional breakdown as Django, and then became hysterical.

He lit a cigarette again.

"Is there anything else we can do? It is estimated that the movie will cost 30 million yuan, do we still need to promote it......" The assistant looked at the cigarette and said again.

"What about Django? He didn't go to yesterday's roadshow. ”

Director Jiang didn't answer the phone...... Or, I'll fight again? ”

"In this case, the blow to him is hard enough, see if he can get through it, make a call." Cao Bangguo nodded, and then looked out the window.

Although "Nightcrawler" was directed by Django, from the script to casting, and then from post-editing to film promotion......

In every aspect of the movie, Cao Bangguo and several directors have been helping in the middle.

At this moment, he was a little frustrated, let alone Django.

The assistant took out the phone and dialed Django's number.

The first time no one answered, the second time no one answered, and the third time finally answered.

"Hello? Sister Xu, is there any bad news? ”

There was a weak voice on the other end of the phone, full of dryness, like a suffocated voice.

Once proud and almost invincible, Django was as decadent as a dead dog, and every word he said to his assistant was full of despair.

Cao Bangguo shook his head.

"Django ......"

"Cao, Uncle Cao......" Django's voice seemed to be a little guilty.

"Nightcrawler's roadshow yesterday, why didn't you go?"

"I ...... We are now publicizing, is it still effective? ”

"As long as there is one more audience and one more heat, it will be ......effective," Cao Bangguo replied.

"But, Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang, he, he ......" Django's voice suddenly became excited, and then trembled, as if he had lost his words.

"It's only been four days since it was released, and you gave up?"

"But...... Me, do I still have a chance? I said, I can get 700 million in this movie, but now ...... I'm probably going to be the biggest joke...... It seems like everyone is laughing at me, I ...... I...... I'm sorry for you, for the association......"

"I don't want to show this old face, this afternoon, I'll accompany you to the roadshow, canvassing for votes!" Cao Bangguo looked out the window and said suddenly.

"Uncle Cao, I, I'm ......" Django's voice was down, trembling so badly that he couldn't hold back a word for a long time, and seemed to be very shocked.

"It's not terrible to fail, it's terrible to lose confidence, there are too many people in this world who eventually collapse after being hit, I hope you don't become one of them...... Face the enemy, but also face yourself, the masters of the past and present, which is not bumpy? ”

Cao Bangguo sighed.

There is also disappointment with Django.

But "Night Stalker" can't blame him, he does work hard enough, he is attentive enough, and he is talented enough.

Pity......

I just ran into a freak.

…………………………

is the same era as Zhou Yang, probably because of the misfortune of these people.

Some were shocked.

But for the big boss Zhang Genshui, he was not shocked, but used to it and felt that it should be so.

He once asked the god stick to tell Zhou Yang's fate, and the god stick was shocked after seeing Zhou Yang, and said something like "this son is extraordinary".

Zhang Genshui naturally did not doubt that fortune-telling was touting, and even regarded Zhou Yang's birthday as a foolish operation such as Zhang Genshui's son.

That's what he is.

"Xiao Zhou, I listen to you, you have recruited such a group of talents, some of whom were recruited from Mao Ziguo, as well as Europe and the United States...... Anyway, I don't know what talent, what kind of high technology, just how expensive and how to ......"

"These people just stayed here and played with the computer for a month, during the day and at night, and the keyboard crackled, and sometimes I think it was strange, how fun is this broken computer?"

Zhang Genshui wore a suit and tie, still with a big belly, and staggered Zhou Yang to visit the R&D room of the new company.

In the R&D room.

A group of gringos were playing with their heads down and playing with their computers, and they didn't notice when they walked over, obviously fascinated.

Zhang Genshui actually didn't have any concept of the "mobile phone system", he just felt that Zhou Yang asked him to do it before, so he did it.

No way......

The fortune teller let him follow Zhou Yang next to him all his life, what Zhou Yang said, what he did, and along the way, it also proved that the fortune teller was not wrong.

He now has a big family and a respected social status, and it seems that he has gradually separated from words such as "coal boss" and "nouveau riche".

Zhou Yang nodded.

I just felt that everything around me was shining.

"Xiao Zhou...... This is the passage between our two companies, but you can rest assured, except for me, no one else is qualified to go through this channel, and it will not affect the operation of your company......"

After Zhang Genshui took Zhou Yang to visit his "Technology Department", "Logistics Department" and "R&D Department", he took Zhou Yang to his office.

Zhang Genshui's office is separated from Zhou Yang's company by a bridge with a special password card.

The fortune teller was disgusting, saying that he wanted to talk to Zhou Yang even if he "broke the lotus" or something like that, and pointed out the feng shui pattern, so Zhang Genshui did so.

"Oh, it's fine."

Zhou Yang nodded, followed Zhang Genshui across the bridge, and then came to his new company.

At the end of the bridge, stood a middle-aged man with unkempt hair and glasses.

The middle-aged man's eyes wandered.

"Master Li, is it okay now?"

"Yes"

"Oh, that's good, your body, isn't it in the way?"

"Out of the way, out of the way...... I can still dance the last ......."

Zhou Yang looked at this "Master Li" and nodded at Master Li, only feeling that there was some familiarity in his mind.

[This is a fortune teller in the village, because his wife ran away with someone, so he chattered all day long, and everyone called him Li Madman......]

[But in fact, his fortune-telling is very inaccurate, and he is ...... gibberish]

[But Mr. Zhang believes in him very much......]

[Every time I open a mine, I will ask him to predict the good luck and evil in the mine......]

[And since the movie, Mr. Zhang seems to believe in him more......]

[However, the fortune teller is also a poor man, his wife ran away, his leg was discounted, and now he has mental problems, even if he takes the money, he has been robbed several times......]

Zhou Yang remembered what Chen Shuangbao had said to him at the celebration banquet of "Mine Bottom".

Then, looking at the crazy "Master Li", his eyes were confused, and he sang and danced at the intersection in a muddy manner.

It's still exactly the same as it was at the beginning, but it seems that his legs are lame now, and his body is thinner than before, and every movement is out of breath, as if there is a layer of skin on the skeleton.

"After I left there, Master Li fell and injured my other leg...... It seems that too many heavenly secrets have been leaked, and they have been punished by God...... Hopefully I can survive this surgery tonight. ”

"What surgery?"

"Cancerous ......"

Zhang Genshui's originally very high mood became inexplicably a little emotional after seeing "Master Li" dancing, and his voice began to sink slowly.

"It's done!"

"Let the people below in......"

"However, there is still a little bit left to finish, and it is almost there."

After stumbling for a while, Master Li said these words out of breath, and then smiled very brightly, wrinkled into his sunken face, and his eyes were extraordinarily bright, as if they were full of life.

He was helped up and touched his nose......

Nosebleeds came out between the noses.

Then the medical staff who were prepared outside rushed over and hurriedly carried him onto a stretcher.

But "Master Li" seemed unwilling to leave, clutching the handle of the stretcher and looking at Zhang Genshui and Zhou Yang with a wheezing breath.

"Close, almost ......"
