"What the relevant departments said before, it is impossible to change, after all, both sides have to be a little more decent on the surface, this matter, it is true that both sides have done something inauthentic, An Xiao is too young, and he didn't take into account the feelings of the older generation, we, too, are too excited, and we didn't calm down and talk about this matter, and now it's actually good to take a step back......"

"An Xiao also knows the seriousness of the matter, and he also needs us people, it is impossible to really smash the pot directly because of this matter, and really give all the resources to Zhou Yang, don't look at him now that he is thriving, but in fact, if he really wants him to support this circle, he really can't hold it up......"

"A lot of things can't be too anxious, I chatted with An Xiao about the movie "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", after all, there is also affection, An Xiao has approved everything in the batch, and his treatment is no worse than Zhou Yang, and even much better than Zhou Yang......"

An Xiao also made a big compromise, you see, this statement of "Give Up Any Support" was signed by Zhou Yang himself...... As for why Zhou Yang signed this agreement, you know? It was also An Xiao who chatted with Zhou Yang, and felt that he couldn't offend us too much, and the treatment of both sides should be the same......

"In this matter, An Xiao really didn't have to pick and choose, and then we and Zhou Yang were on the same starting line, and we really did it!"

“……”

On the afternoon of October 2.

Cigarettes curled in the conference room.

Zhou Yilin happily stood on the main seat, and followed the directors below to talk happily about his gains from this trip.

As he spoke, he put the statement of "giving up any support" signed by Zhou Yang on the spot.

There was a commotion in the conference room, and several directors were quite shocked on their faces, no one could have imagined that Zhou Yang would give up so many support projects, let alone sign it.

This is an incredible thing for these people, and then this commotion gradually subsided, and the faces of the directors, who were quite unhappy and couldn't hold their faces all the time, finally eased a little.

That's probably what happened.

I don't, if you have, no matter what the reason, what the reason, you will feel extremely unhappy in your heart.

But if everyone doesn't have it, and it's just a single one, then there's nothing to say.

"Director Zhou, what about our release? My "Our Country"! "Offstage, Zhao Fang has no interest in the so-called welfare, the so-called support, this is meaningless to him, at this moment he is most concerned about the release of his movie "Our Country", it can't really be delayed until next year, right?

"I have also fought with An Xiao about this matter, An Xiao means that she will not interfere in the scheduling of films, as long as we communicate and coordinate with the theater chain......" Zhou Yilin looked at Zhao Fang with a smile and replied.

"Can it be released during the National Day Week in October?" Zhao Fang was obviously not satisfied with the answer after hearing it, and continued to ask.

"It's difficult to release it on National Day, so you have to communicate with the theater chain specifically...... However, there are too many blockbusters during Golden Week, and it is best not to release them at this time, otherwise it will hit the streets......"

"Oh......"

The entire conference room, which was originally full of solemn atmosphere, finally relaxed.

Zhou Yilin smiled brightly, and he used practical actions to prove that the steps were not given by others, but found by himself.

Everyone present was very satisfied with the result.

Only Chen Kai in the corner was holding his chest with his hands, his face was full of mockery, and he felt that these birdmen were cowardly to the bones.

The box office results have not come out, and Zhou Yang has not read the script, so he can't hold on!

Isn't this a coward?

To say that it is good is that everyone takes a step back, and to say it is ugly, everyone's interests have been completely disturbed by Zhou Yang's rat, and it is still a matter of paralysis that is still harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself.

Can this not be disgusting?

Chen Kai was full of complaints, but after looking at Zhou Yilin's high-spirited and smiling "dog traitor" appearance, he didn't say anything after all.

And Django in the audience was moved when he heard it, staring at Zhou Yilin, and never came down.

He obviously felt that after Zhou Yilin said this, the directors, including Feng Minrui, looked at him with attention in their eyes.

After the meeting, he hurriedly ran to Zhou Yilin's side, his eyes were a little moist with excitement, and the whole person almost knelt for Zhou Yilin, looking at Zhou Yilin uncontrollably: "Director Zhou, you are simply my reborn parents......"

After Zhou Yilin looked at Django's excited appearance, he laughed: "Shoot well, you are a movie made on behalf of our Huaxia Film Association, this time it is difficult to fight for the treatment of "Liaozhai Painted Skin", and the relevant departments feel that this movie has feudal superstition......"

"Thank you, thank you!"

"Alright, let's go." Zhou Yilin patted Django on the shoulder and nodded at him.

"I will definitely not disappoint Director Zhou's help, I will shoot well, it will not be worse than the movie made by Zhou Yang! I'll definitely prove myself! ”

"I believe in you!"

………………………………

Sunset.

Feng Minrui was surrounded by countless directors and left the conference room.

Silence returned to the conference room of the Huaxia Film Association.

Feng Ruirui and Chen Kai did not leave.

Chen Kai followed Feng Rui into the office, constantly slapping the table, scolding this and that, expressing his dissatisfaction in his heart.

The directors were united passively because of common interests, and then began to fall apart because of the damage to personal interests, which finally turned this so-called unity into a joke that lost all face.

Feng Minrui listened carefully, neither angry nor disappointed, but felt that sometimes it was quite sad, and at the same time there was a little bit of absurdity.

Especially when I saw that the box office of "The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years" has reached more than 10 million, and it is very likely that the box office of this movie will exceed 20 million after its premiere, this sense of absurdity is even stronger.

This movie seems to be going to be popular again!

After Chen Kai finished scolding, he finally sat opposite Feng Minrui and stopped talking.

"It's over?"

"I feel sad, Lao Feng, when you were young, you were high-spirited, and your gestures were full of momentum, why did you become like this dog now?"

"Maybe you're old, Lao Chen, this matter will end here, now you have seen it, the directors below, and even Shen Jinsong and Director Shen have begun to have opinions, everyone has capital pressure, you can stop......" Feng Rui looked at Chen Kai and shook his head.

"Can't drag on for months? The relevant departments are under so much pressure at the box office now, I still say the same thing, what does he Zhou Yang take? 900 million box office, so many Hollywood blockbusters in the second half of the year......"

"Just to let An Xiao leave a professional stain, and then change to another position to sacrifice the interests of so many directors? You're being a little selfish! ”

"Selfish? Or else? Both of them wear the same pair of pants, to put it mildly, this is a collusion between officials and businessmen! Maybe the film industry in the future will be how smoky and dirty Zhou Yang will be! ”

"Okay, okay, Lao Chen, I know you are angry, "Tianji" has really hit you a lot, this movie is ......"

"It's not that I didn't shoot "Tianji", Lao Feng, it's the first year, it's still the same sentence, five years, when everyone watches this movie again, they will be able to see my thoughts and connotations of this movie, everyone will be amazed by it, it's bad because it's not a product of this era......" After Chen Kai saw Feng's sharp expression, his face turned blue in an instant, and the whole person clenched his fists excitedly.

"Okay, okay, Lao Chen, you came to me today, just to talk to me about this?"

"I'm going to make a new movie!" Chen Kai looked at Feng Rui and took out a script.

"Oh? What movie? ”

"The historical movie of "Hongmen Feast" analyzes the history of Chu and Han from another angle, with an investment of about 300 million...... This script is the most amazing script I've seen in the past ten years, and I'm in pretty good shape now, similar to ......when I was filming "Overlord", Chen Kai introduced his new movie.

He's actually just that.

Sometimes like a confident and unruly literary poet, he has his own set of logic, and the pride of a literati is oozing in his bones.

Feng Minrui saw that Chen Kai was going to make a new movie, and after saying it so eloquently, he was quite interested, so he took the script and read it for a while, and then found that the second act of the script was a little incomprehensible, but he still looked at Chen Kai with a smile: "Old Chen, let's say, you are looking for me ...... this movie."

"I'm almost investing, you help me figure out a way......"

"How much worse?"

"About 100 million."

"100 million...... Have you looked for Starlight? ”

"Found."

"What did Starlight say?"

"There was an investment of 150 million over there, and I also pulled 50 million ...... myself."

"Historical films are ...... to engage in such a big battle"

"Really good movies cost money, and there are some things that can't be saved...... This movie, I'll give you all the Oscars for foreign language films and the Berlin International Golden Bear Award......" Chen Kai looked at Feng Rui, his eyes revealing a strong confidence.

"Let me think again." After Feng Minrui heard this data, he suddenly fell silent, and only said such a sentence after a while.

………………………………

Evening.

An Xiao worked overtime in the relevant department, and could only come to pick up Zhou Yang after work.

Zhou Yang also happened to be busy with some things.

When he was busy until about eight o'clock, Zhou Yang saw Zhou Yilin knock on the door and walk in, sitting on the sofa in the office.

"Director Zhou, the meeting went well?"

"Smooth, the meeting went quite smoothly, the Huaxia Directors Association compromised, did not fight for the so-called support and through train, and said that they would fully support the filming of "Liaozhai Painted Skin", Xiao Jiang just sorted out a shooting plan, he plans to shoot this movie for two months, if it goes well, it will be released in this year's Spring Festival......"

"Oh, good." Zhou Yang nodded.

"By the way, this time I came to talk to you about the investment in another movie, Chen Kai just called me, his movie "Hongmen Feast" lacks 100 million yuan of investment, are you interested in investing tens of millions? It's his script......"

"Chen Kai ......"

"Although Chen Kai has a bad mouth, since we are ready to go on the road of capital, we naturally need some workers who can fool around......" Zhou Yilin said happily after seeing Zhou Yang's expression.

"Director Zhou, I don't mean to be capital." Zhou Yang frowned, and then shook his head for the first time.

He felt that Zhou Yilin seemed to have misunderstood something.

"Xiao Zhou, don't frame me, don't you know what your arrangements are? Your company is now expanding like this, you say that you don't do capital, who believes it! This is another cartoon, a theater, and a video website, oh, by the way, now even the special effects company is not spared, you tell me that you don't make capital, who believes ......"

"Except for anime, everything else is a company that I am a fan of......"

"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand ......" Zhou Yilin saw Zhou Yang's appearance, he didn't believe it at all, and then didn't delve into these things, but asked: "Xiao Zhou, this is the script of "Hongmen Feast", I got it for you, can you take a look?" ”

"Oh, good."

Zhou Yang finally took the script and read it seriously.

But the more he looked at him, the more frowning he became, and he found that after reading the script of the entire "Hongmen Feast" for a long time, he didn't know if it was because of his reserves of history or what the reason, he couldn't understand this movie at all.

Even when he saw it a second time, he was still confused and didn't know what the story was about......

There are too many characters on the scene, the stories that appear are too messy, and the dialogue is not good, some of the dialogues have to check the ancient texts, and there are even some words he doesn't know.

The incomprehensible movie made Zhou Yang invest, and Zhou Yang had a sense of resistance in his heart.

"The investment in this movie is 300 million?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Well, forget about this movie."

"Do you think this movie could be the second Overlord?"

"I ......" Zhou Yang hesitated for a long time, and when he saw Zhou Yilin's gaze, he suddenly didn't know how to answer this sentence.

"Really, don't vote?"

"No, no, no."

"Oh, okay, forget it, right...... Xiao Zhou, can you let Xingyang Cinema Line let go a little bit of film scheduling? ”

"Huh?"

"The movie "Our Country" wants to be released in prime time, and I have talked about other theaters, but Xingyang Cinemas has recently been lined up with all your movies, or ...... You make a phone call and let the movie squeeze in a little? Zhou Yilin looked at Zhou Yang.

"......" Zhou Yang was silent.

After watching Zhou Yang be silent, Zhou Yilin naturally knew that Zhou Yang was embarrassed, so he looked at Zhou Yang with a smile: "I don't mean anything else, it's just that the director Zhao Fang and the Huaxia Film Association have not had a very pleasant quarrel recently because of "Our Country", and I called him privately when I came, and people's thoughts are quite complicated now...... Xiao Zhou, let me tell you straight, I know you want to control the lifeblood of the entire Chinese film, but there are some things at present, you are too easy to do, I will help you do it, the next election of the president of the Huaxia Directors Association is about to start, and when the time comes, I will be the president...... On the surface, you are you, I am me, behind the scenes, I follow the general direction of your company, and I will talk to you about the investment and directing of every film in the association, how about you control the power of life and death? ”

"Director Zhou, you're the one who is really ambitious, right?" Zhou Yang suddenly stared at Zhou Yilin, feeling that this guy was a bit like the Chinese version of Christian.

"Hahaha...... Just take what you need. ”
