Although it is rarely shown on the bright side, most Hollywood directors come to China with a sense of superiority.

It seems to have descended to a wild place with a layer of inexplicable brilliance, and used cool special effects to amaze a group of Chinese fans who have never seen the world, and go crazy for it.

Pretty much ......

James. Lee, that's the kind of mentality.

"Oh my God, scare me, my legs are weak now!"

"The feeling of a bullet shooting through the screen was so realistic that I couldn't help but block it with my hand......"

"The picture of Superman flying in outer space with a rocket is so shocking, damn it, it makes my scalp tingle!"

"Epic sci-fi blockbusters, really, foreign movies are enjoyable, hey, domestic movies are shot like this bird, when will our Chinese movies also have this kind of blockbuster?"

"Ten years from now!"

"Not necessarily in 10 years, look at the ...... of this technology"

“……”

The film's plot follows from the previous work "Superman 1", and the special effects in it alone cost 80 million US dollars, and more than 1,400 stunt shots, including Superman flying into the deep sea, passing through a burning tunnel, and once again recreating a series of shots such as the Boeing 777 that helped make a forced landing on a baseball stadium to achieve a soft landing, which can be said to be one of the most expensive special effects blockbusters in Hollywood......

After the premiere of "Superman 2", young fans were very excited, and after walking out of the cinema, they repeatedly chatted with their friends about how they felt when watching the movie, and some even felt that it was not enjoyable, and went to the ticket window again to prepare to watch it for the second time......

The directors had very complicated eyes, as if a new door was opening in front of them, and some were stunned and some adored James around. Li said all kinds of flattering words, some people muttered to themselves, as if they were so shocked that they didn't know what to say, originally thought that "Superman 1" was already the pinnacle of Hollywood special effects blockbusters, but no one could have imagined that the special effects in "Superman 2" were actually more shocking than "Superman 1", after wearing 3D glasses, everyone seemed to have come to another world......

Django was also blown away by the special effects of Superman 2.

But compared to Cao Bangguo following James. Lee has been warm, chatting about the evening lecture, and he has always maintained mixed emotions.

The appearance of "Superman 2" is destined to be a catastrophe for Chinese films.

Whether it is "Infernal Affairs" or his "Night Walker", they will all be affected by this Haojie......

"This is Mr. Miranke, one of the special effects teams of "Superman 2", Xiao Jiang, I will make an appointment with you later, you can have a good chat."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Cao......"

When he left the screening hall and came to the reception hall of the Huaxia Film Association, a group of directors chatted about various topics around the "Superman 2" team, Cao Bangguo deliberately pulled Django when he was in a trance, and then pointed to the blonde and blue-eyed young man not far away, and patted Django on the shoulder.

Django nodded, and the phrase "Master Yi's long skills to control Yi" echoed in his heart.

But somehow, I felt a trace of inexplicable humiliation in my heart, especially when I saw Feng Minhui, the president of the Huaxia Film Association, seeing James. When Li Shi, after a slight expectant smile appeared on his face, he always felt that there was a hint of flattery in this smile.

A year ago, he was actually very suitable for this kind of occasion, and even when he was filming "Cyborg", he himself wanted to kneel and lick these gringos.

And now......

I don't know if I watched "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year" a few days ago, and I don't know if it was influenced by the song "My Motherland", I always feel quite ironic in my heart.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he didn't think that Cao Bangguo and the others were wrong.

There is a gap between Chinese movies and Hollywood movies, isn't it?

Being nice to them now is not flattering, nor is it flattery......

Even so, it's to learn their stuff......

…………………………

United States.

Los Angeles.

Christian, the director, is really fucked up.

When I met Christian, he was preparing to shoot "Lamb", and then "Chainsaw" was finished, and he was still preparing to shoot "Lamb", and now even the American version of "Infernal Affairs" has finished filming "Lamb" The movie is only half filmed, and because of the actor's problems, it has been put on hold for the time being......

The name of the American version of "Infernal Affairs" is "The Departed".

Yes, it is the Hong Kong translation of "Infernal Affairs", the plot of the movie is roughly the same as "Infernal Affairs", and even the screenwriter has Zhou Yang's name in a grand manner.

But after Zhou Yang watched the full version of "The Departed", he didn't know what to say about this "The Departed".

"Infernal Affairs" is quite Oriental Buddhism, and every dialogue and content is full of the unique ideological realm of the East.

The spirit of the characters needs to be upgraded. He wants to be able to do things that normal people can't do, but the whole is more subtle, and people need to experience its realm carefully and feel the charm of this movie.

"The Departed" expresses the thinking of Westerners, and the emotional expression of the characters should be more prominent in realism......

There is surprise, there is frustration, there is anger, there is panic......

In fact, if you really want to talk about the difference, Zhou Yang found that the American version of "The Departed" was more unrestrained than Zhou Yang's, or more emotional, completely abandoning the subtlety of "Infernal Affairs".

"Infernal Affairs" is a little more inclined to literary films, while "The Departed" is more inclined to an authentic American-style police film......

In particular, one or two swear words occasionally popping up in the lines, as well as the conflict between the black guy and the white police detective, have risen from subtle to a mainstream charm again.

"Tomorrow 'The Departed' will be released in North America......"

"Not only will it take over the scheduling of "Infernal Affairs", but there will also be more publicity resources, especially the FBI police officers, who are willing to cooperate with the promotional ...... of "The Departed"

“……”

Zheng Jun talked endlessly about "The Departed" in front of Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang listened to Zheng Jun's introduction to the movie "The Departed" and nodded.

The memory gradually became clearer.

When I met Zheng Jun for the first time, Zheng Jun was humble, strong, and restrained, as if he had been smoothed out by life, like an inconspicuous stone on the side of the road.

Now, standing in the most prominent position at the conference table, he has become extremely confident and explains his philosophy for filming "The Departed".

I have to admit that Zheng Jun is very talented, and his cultural understanding of Lao Mei is deep in the bone marrow, and the same plot makes Zhou Yang and Zheng Jun shoot are simply two concepts.

One is in the sky, and many old American viewers have a pain in their heads.

One is on the ground, very down-to-earth, especially in the description of each fragment, the current situation of Lao Mei is simply realistic.

"The Departed" is definitely more marketable than "Infernal Affairs" in Lao Mei.

After introducing "The Departed", Zheng Jun began to talk about his ambitions in Lao Mei's future again......

It seems that after filming "The Departed", a certain nerve in his body was completely touched, and he kept saying in front of Zhou Yang that he wanted to make an old and beautiful gangster film in his new movie, and told Zhou Yang some of his ideas and concepts for gangster films.

"I wanted to make a gangster film from the 20th century, the 20s to the 60s...... It mainly tells the history of gangsters in this period, as well as the story of the rise of some low-level people......"

"If I could, I would have liked this film to be a gangster epic film that depicts human conflicts such as friendship and antagonism, loyalty and betrayal......"

"Mr. Zhou, no matter how much box office "The Departed" has, as one of the directors, I don't want a penny, I hope you can support me in making this movie, I am very eager to do it, I can even say that this is a thirst from the depths of my soul......"

"Here's my script outline, and while the film investment may be huge, I guarantee that the film won't lose money! If you lose money...... I'm willing to sign a ten-year or even twenty-year contract with you to repay the debt......"

“……”

In the conference room of the Sky company.

Zheng Jun's eyes were full of longing, and the whole person was fanatical like a madman.

He handed the outline of the script to Zhou Yang, his hands were trembling, and Zhou Yang could clearly feel a little sweat stains on his palms.

Quite like a gambler on all odds.

"I'll look at the outline first."

Zhou Yang did not agree, but took the movie outline of "History of American Gangsters" and watched it.

Jung Jun's script is always so pleasing to the eye......

Like the previous "Mine Bottom", although it is an outline, every character and every storyboard is extraordinarily detailed, and even the time period when the main characters appear is clearly written.

But maybe it's because of cultural differences, or maybe it's because Zheng Jun wrote the outline in extra detail, so detailed that it makes people's brains ache, Zhou Yang really doesn't have much sense of substitution for the outline of the movie "History of American Gangsters", after reading it, he looked up at Zheng Jun, and after hesitating for a while, he looked at Zheng Jun's expectant gaze, but he couldn't bear to refuse.

"How much investment?"

"Ten Million Dollars ......"

"How much?"

"Ten million dollars." Zheng Jun continued, and after finishing speaking, the light in his eyes became more and more hot.

10 million US dollars, equivalent to nearly 80 million yuan.

After Zhou Yang heard this number, his heart was slightly stunned, and he felt his heart beating, all the movies he has made so far have never had such a high investment.

Suddenly there was silence in the huge conference room.

Then, he glanced down at "A History of American Gangsters" and looked at the outline of the script for the film again.

Looking at it, Zhou Yang always felt a little inexplicably familiar......

Vaguely, another movie came to mind, and that movie was called "Once Upon a Time in America".

This film was very famous in the original world, but because of some editing reasons, it led to an investment of 40 million US dollars in exchange for millions of dollars at the box office, which hit the streets, and then after a series of full re-releases, this film entered the history of Lao American movies and was regarded as one of the milestone movies of Lao Mei classics......

The introduction of Zhou Yang's movie, I have also seen the commentary of the movie, but I have not seen the full version of that movie.

The full version is too long, a full four hours......

He really didn't have the patience to watch.

But after seeing "A History of American Gangsters", Zhou Yang had the general context and core selling point of "Once Upon a Time in America" in his mind......

"That's it, give me your script, I'll change it slightly, after the change, if you think it's suitable, if it's suitable, shoot it! Well, it's not about changing it, it's just adding something to your script outline, do you think it's okay? ”

"Yes, yes, great, actually, I also have some things I don't understand here, Mr. Zhou, I just need to ask you......" Zheng Jun nodded excitedly, his face became damp. Red, as if taking drugs.

……………………

"Has the box office of "Infernal Affairs" come out on the 15th?"

"It's out......"

"How much?"

"Twenty million...... It's not ideal, it's too big to be impacted by "Superman 2"! ”

"Does Mr. Zhou know?"

"I don't know, Mr. Zhou's phone has been unreachable......"

“……”

Chinese.

Huaxing Entertainment.

After Wang Jing and Xu Mei got the 15-day box office of "Infernal Affairs", the two fell silent instantly.
