Chapter 423: The Man in Black
[The genre of "Men in Black" is a science fiction film. 】
[But it is not as serious as traditional Hollywood science fiction films, which exaggerates the haze of alien invasion at every turn, making fans look extremely depressed, and the final ending ends with Hollywood-style individual heroes saving the world, but with a hilarious comedy, the earth where humans and aliens coexist in harmony is vividly depicted. 】
[Screenwriter Zhou Yang, as the author of "Chainsaw", he will always leave you a specific reversal symbol at the final ending, which makes you think about it very scary, but shocking to the point that your scalp is numb]
[After watching the premiere of "Men in Black", in addition to admiring the imagination of the main creative team and being able to integrate so many alien images into a movie, it is more of a reflection on the vast universe, the glass ball symbolizes one of the multiverses, the space of human life, is a diversified and multi-layered universe, the universe is very vast, and it is unimaginably shocking......]
[However, Hollywood movies are Hollywood movies after all, and in China, there is no way to make such a movie, whether it is technical limitations or the spirituality of the actors, it can't support such a movie......]
【……】
After the end of "Men in Black".
Zhou Yang walked out of the screening hall with extremely complicated emotions.
A film review appeared on Zhou Yang's mobile phone, which was Xu Mei's hottest film review after the premiere of "Men in Black" reported to Zhou Yang.
After Zhou Yang finished reading the movie review, he put down his mobile phone and silently looked at the crowded screening hall and the distant sky.
He remembered the script of "Men in Black".
"Men in Black", he just provided a script, as well as a handful of alien-looking compositions.
But I didn't think that Will. Smith and director Chels actually directly on the script of "Men in Black", and made something that Zhou Yang felt amazing.
The original version of "Men in Black" is not a representative of serious science fiction films, and a collection of bad tastes, this version of "Men in Black" seems to be scattered and evil, but every detail is full of high deconstruction and deep irony, in the background of humorous tone, taste carefully, you can feel that the director uses orthodox science fiction elements to construct a brand-new, similar to a parallel universe world, in this world, every alien, every weapon, and even every word spoken by the leading actors, has its own characteristics, It's all a living life! After watching the whole movie, Ling even suspected that the director had really come into contact with these aliens and invited them to make this movie......
"I think "Men in Black" is much better than "Superman 2", at least the plot is not so monotonous, Director Chels, there is indeed something ......"
"After this "Men in Black", Chels is very likely to be a god! In September, it's so exciting! ”
"The special effects in Men in Black are amazing!"
"Everybody is a conformist, but J knows how to be flexible, so he can stand out and pass the test. Everyone didn't believe that J saw aliens, but K showed him the most real side, understood him, didn't put on a show, didn't laugh at him, so J was willing to be a partner with K. K is mature and steady, while J is clever and smart, and their personalities just complement each other......"
"yes!"
"Zhou Yang's script is too awesome, really awesome!"
“……”
Fans flocked to discuss the plot of "Men in Black" excitedly.
The excitement echoed around Zhou Yang, and vaguely, Zhou Yang heard a lot of voices admiring the awesome script he wrote.
But Zhou Yang didn't have a smile on his face, but his emotions had an indescribable muffled feeling.
After returning to the company, the company was surrounded by countless reporters.
Starring Weil. After the premiere, Smith and director Chels rushed to Huaxing non-stop and waited for Zhou Yang in the company.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, I am a reporter for "Oriental Film Daily", "Men in Black" is really amazing, may I ask, in what state did you create such an amazing movie script?"
"Mr. Zhou Yang, the king of Hollywood horror films, James. Bonthe's "Jaws" is about to be introduced to China, and the screenwriter and art consultant in it have your name. Bont collaborated on Jaws? ”
"Mr. Zhou Yang, I am a reporter from the "Shonan Daily", thank you for the help of your "Infernal Affairs" movie to our Shonan, I have a question for Dai Shonan fans and fans: Well, in September, in the movies that are about to be released or have already been released...... Ninety percent of the films are made with you, so what do you expect from these films? I heard that the box office of the man in black in Europe and the United States is about to come out......"
“……”
One question after another surrounded Zhou Yang, as if it was pervasive.
Zhou Yang had a trademark polite smile on his face, but he didn't answer any questions, but walked into Huaxing with the help of Xu Mei.
The employees of Huaxing ......
All looked at Zhou Yang with worship and excitement, as if looking at a god.
"Mr. Zhou!"
Song Qianqian, who met Zhou Yang, stopped even more excitedly, her eyes were rippling, and her eyes were full of longing.
When she saw Zhou Yang's calm face and just nodded at her, Song Qianqian patted her chest even more, a trace of blush flashed on her face, looking at Zhou Yang's back, and only after Zhou Yang disappeared did she withdraw her gaze.
"Come on!"
"Diva!"
Immediately afterwards, she cheered herself up again, and her whole body was full of high fighting spirit.
After agent Wang Xue got the company's album authorization letter, she looked at Wang Xue and asked with some expectation: "Sister Wang, what is my current brand value?" ”
"Nine Million ......"
"Ah, it's only nine million?"
"The heritage is still not ...... enough"
"What about Mr. Zhou's brand value?" Song Qianqian looked at Wang Xue with some curiosity.
Wang Xue was stunned, she couldn't understand that Song Qianqian would suddenly ask such a question, her face became complicated, and then she glanced at Song Qianqian again: "Qianqian, you release an album well, first stabilize the throne of the little diva, don't ask if there are any of these." ”
"How much......
"You won't want to know."
………………………………
"Oh God!"
"Damn, I'm going to make that god crazy! Have you seen the praise of these Chinese fans? Did you see the reaction of fans in Europe and the United States when it premiered yesterday? ”
"Fifteen million dollars at the box office! Damn it, Chels, you tell me, what is the box office of this movie! Tell me, what was the box office for the premiere of Superman 2, 17 million dollars! We work miracles, you know? is only two million dollars lower than "Superman 2", a garbage, dollar-nutritious broken movie! ”
"Chels, I told you, when I first met Mr. Zhou Yang, I knew that he was Huaxia, no, a gift and a treasure from the world film industry!"
"Chels, now, you can proudly tell all Hollywood directors that you are now an A-list director!"
"The Chinese box office will not be bad, and the Hollywood box office will not be bad, and it can challenge "Superman 2"!"
"I'll just say, it's no problem to find Mr. Zhou Yang to write a script, right? The premiere box office has not yet come out, but the market has already verified him! ”
"Do you know how Jaws came about? It's James. Bont chatted with Mr. Zhou Yang, and I'm very curious about this movie now! ”
“……”
As soon as Zhou Yang walked into the reception room, he heard that Weil. Smith's voice was like a throat split, and he boasted wildly next to Chels.
Chels' eyes were also excited, but he looked better than Ville. Smith was a little shy, but he nodded vigorously, and his whole face darkened.
Zhou Yang pushed the door in......
Before he could react, he felt a dark shadow attack on Will. Smith gave Zhou Yang a hug fiercely, and even wanted to kiss Zhou Yang's forehead with his thick black lips on the spot, but fortunately Zhou Yang dodged him in time.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, we've been waiting for you for too long!"
"Our "Men in Black" exploded at the box office in Europe and the United States, and the response was very terrifying, 15 million dollars! God, do you know what this concept is? If damn it, James. If Bont's "Jaws" is not released, I have a hunch that we have already booked the box office champion in September! ”
“……”
Zhou Yang heard that the entire reception room was full of Will. Smith's passionate, almost mad voice.
Moreover, the voice lasted for a long time, as if it was an endless sentence, explaining over and over again the huge repercussions of "Men in Black" in Europe and the United States!
After listening to this, Zhou Yang smiled, but there was no excitement in his heart from beginning to end.
Wait until Ville. After Smith went crazy, Zhou Yang looked at director Chels.
Director Chels is not like most Hollywood directors, his face is always full of a sense of superiority, but he is very humble, and when he makes eye contact with Zhou Yang, he even has a hint of admiration in his eyes like everyone else, and says some words of thanks, and even thanks are a little bumpy.
Before directing "Men in Black", Chels was not a big-name director in Hollywood, and it could even be said that he was a depressed director.
That day, with Will. When Smith accosted him, Chels was extremely unconfident......
But he had no idea that Will. Smith actually invited him to join the SKY company, and recommended him to meet Zhou Yang, and successfully got the script of "Men in Black".
He had a hunch at that time that this was the highlight moment of his life.
"Mr. Chels, did you bring your photographic manuscript?"
"Brought, bringed!"
"Okay."
"Mr. Zhou Yang, I changed some lines from "The Man in Black", it should be, no problem, right?" When he saw Zhou Yang seriously watching himself shoot the manuscript, Chels suddenly felt a little apprehensive in his heart, and then asked cautiously.
"No problem, it's fine."
"Oh, oh."
…………………………
"Why is Mr. Zhou Yang unhappy?"
"It's what you're going to shoot, and what he wants you to present, it should be different, it may be lower than his expectations, maybe the box office of "Men in Black" should have been higher!"
"I'm sorry...... I'm so self-righteous......"
"You've done your best! But, after all, this is a movie that you have full authority to direct...... There's so much to learn...... Mr. Zhou Yang is a combination of literature and art, and the things you shoot, in my opinion, have high commercial value, but in terms of the real core, there is still a vacancy......"
"Well, yes."
Half an hour later, Ville. Smith and Chels left Huaxing.
Emotions seem to be quite contagious, and the two who left no longer have the passion they had when they came in, but became a little at a loss because of Zhou Yang's calm emotions from beginning to end when he met them.
Director Chels lowered his head and listened to Ville. After Smith's words, his eyes gradually became self-reproachful.
As everyone knows, Zhou Yang, who returned to the office, stared at the filming manuscript of Chels's "Men in Black", looking at the dense outline and notes, Zhou Yang fell into deep thought.
He felt the gap between himself and Chels.
This gap made his heart suddenly start to weigh up.
One shift for the time being, and it will be restored tomorrow
