October 20th.

It's getting colder and colder in the United States.

In the office, Zhou Yang wrapped his clothes and looked out the window.

It seems that it is about to snow on Lao Mei's side.

"Really, isn't it?"

"So far, there really hasn't been ...... The film is not very optimistic. ”

"I need a chance."

"Well, I understand, I understand you."

Zheng Jun was cramped and uneasy, and he was more discouraged in his heart.

The movie "American Gangster History" was cold in the United States, and no theater was willing to show this seven-hour movie, even if there were some invalid film schedules, no theater was willing to do so.

They were afraid that the film would not even make money on the electricity bill.

Although Zheng Jun understood this, he still felt that the whole person was panicked, out of breath, and more unwilling after being discouraged.

Zhou Yang closed his eyes.

"A History of American Gangsters" did not go well, and "Spider-Man" did not go well.

In the past two days, he has been looking for an old and beautiful actor, but the final ending is very cruel.

"Lizard Man" is being scolded to the sky, and no one wants to act in a similar superhero movie at this time to smash their own brand.

Isn't that a joke?

No one could have imagined that things would be so embarrassing.

But Zhou Yang was not discouraged, but thought more about breaking the situation and how to break the situation.

Lao Mei is a capitalist country, and the most important thing that capitalist countries see is interests, and when you can generate benefits for them, they will all come over and lick you excitedly. Fart*, but when you can't create any benefits, or even see any benefits, everyone sees you like a fly, and they want you to stay where you are cool.

Even if "Spider-Man" is released after filming, it will be released like "American Gangster History".

This is almost predictable.

Not to mention Lao Mei's side, many fans in Huaxia are also sneering at "Spider-Man", and most of them say that they have gone completely crazy and become enchanted.

So......

What to do?

"You need to prove your business value, and in addition to publicity, you need to have a variety of channels to ......"

"Since there are no theaters in the United States, then ......"

A crazy idea came to Zhou Yang's mind.

At present, the box office sharing of Huaxing and SKY Company, Zhou Yang actually does not add up a lot of money, and it is not enough to make a cinema industry, but it is almost okay to do a few cities in Laomei.

in the office.

Zhou Yang thought about it for a long time, then took out his mobile phone, hesitated for a moment, and dialed a number.

The number seemed to be very shocked after receiving Zhou Yang's call, and then it was so excited that it almost screamed.

Zheng Jun, who was a few meters away, felt the harshness of this scream.

Subsequently, Zheng Jun saw Zhou Yang follow the other end of the phone and say something about the theater, and Zheng Jun felt the screams on the other side of the phone becoming more and more excited.

After making the call, Zhou Yang didn't feel much joy, but showed a little bit of pressure on his face.

After being in the office for a long time, Zheng Jun saw Zhou Yang turn his head to look at him.

"Director Zheng......"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou." Zheng Jun hurriedly stood up straight, and somehow, after seeing Zhou Yang's serious expression, he felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, as well as a trace of expectation.

"Half a month later, we will have our own small movie theater in Laomei, and "American Gangster History" will be shown in that theater......"

"Ah, we...... Make your own movie theater, this ......" Zheng Jun was inexplicably excited, and his blood was boiling.

"It's a gamble, we won, our movie may be slightly better in the United States, but if we lose, everything will be the same as before, or even worse......" Zhou Yang said this sentence in a very calm tone, and after finishing speaking, he subconsciously looked out the window again.

In fact, he has no bottom in his heart.

He just felt a little empty.

""A History of American Gangsters" will definitely not be too bad, and it will not lose money!" Zheng Jun's blood was surging, he didn't feel Zhou Yang's complexity at all, and said very firmly, even gritting his teeth.

Zhou Yang didn't respond to him, but changed his words slightly: "If you go and calculate the sci-fi movie "Mine Bottom", how much investment will be needed......

"Mine Bottom?"

"Yes, haven't you always wanted to make 'Mine Bottom' before? I got you an assistant director...... Of course, it's more that you need to touch it and see that the bottom fit is not suitable...... If it's appropriate, it's best to talk about what happens next, and if it's not suitable, I have another plan here......"

"Huh?" Zheng Jun's enthusiastic mood stagnated slightly, and after a while, he stared at Zhou Yang as if he thought of someone: "It won't be ......"

While he was talking, there was a sudden knock at the door.

Then, Zheng Jun looked at the door sharply, and saw Koro in a suit and leather shoes. Peggy walked in, her expression excited.

His pupils shrank, and after a while, he looked at Zhou Yang in disbelief.

"Coro. Mr. Peggy......"

"Mr. Zhou Yang!"

Compared to Zhou Yang's first time seeing Coro. At the time of Peggy, now Coro. Peggy looks spirited.

When greeting Zhou Yang, his mood was also very contagious, like a general who was about to go on an expedition.

Coro. After Peggy finished greeting Zhou Yang, she glanced at Zheng Jun, and nodded with Zheng Jun, which was regarded as a greeting.

Zheng Jun looked at Zhou Yang.

Naturally, he knew Coro. Peggy, even to Coro. Peggy knows more than anyone else.

The movie "Lizard Man" Zhou Yang can only watch it if he endures it, but Zheng Jun has watched it from beginning to end.

After reading it, although he was also a little uncomfortable physiologically, he was more sorry that a few days ago, he also chatted with Zhou Yang about Coro. It's a pity that Peggy just took a fork in the road for a while, if she can correct it again, she can still be popular again, after all, the foundation of all aspects is there.

No one could have imagined that Mr. Zhou really took it to heart and really found him.

"This is a non-disclosure agreement, Coro. Mr. Peggy, no one can leak what we talked about today, you sign this agreement first, and then we will talk about ......"

"Ah, okay."

Coro. When Peggy saw Zhou Yang's solemn expression, she was naturally a little curious, then nodded, took the confidentiality agreement handed over by Zhou Yang and read it carefully.

The content in the confidentiality agreement is not complicated, and it probably means what Zhou Yang said......

See no problem later, Coro. Peggy signed her name.

Zhou Yang looked at Coro. Peggy.

Two days ago, Coro. After Peggy left, Zhou Yang endured the physical discomfort and watched "Lizard Man", and after reading it, he came to a conclusion.

"Spider-Man" is not able to compete with Corot. Peggy filmed together, his concept is far from his own concept, but the script of "Mine Bottom" written by Zheng Jun before can be filmed like this, provided that some of the "uncanny valley" effects in the movie are well adjusted.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Yang felt that Coro. If Peggy and Zheng Jun work together well, they may really be able to take "Mine Bottom" to the next level.

When this idea came out, Zhou Yang did not rush to make a decision, but looked at Corot very seriously. Some of the sci-fi movies that Peggy has made in the past......

After watching these movies, Zhou Yang felt a shock in his heart.

Even after more than ten years, these sci-fi movies still look pretty good, especially Coro. Peggy's personal style and imaginative plot images still seem to have a market now.

Eventually, it was given to Coro. Peggy made a phone call and asked Jung Jun to talk to Coro. Peggy meets each other.

"Director Zheng, it's convenient to roughly compare the project "Mine Bottom" with Coro. Does Peggy talk? ”

"Convenient." Zheng Jun nodded without any hesitation.

Even if the incident of "Lizard Man" happened, Zheng Jun was very interested in Corot. Peggy is still respectful.

Coro. Peggy is one of Zheng Jun's favorite science fiction directors in his early years, and in a sense, the script of "Mine Bottom" written by Zheng Jun borrowed from Corot. Peggy's sci-fi film "Underground".

After Zheng Jun nodded, he then took out the base book of "Mine Bottom" from his bag, as well as the map of the structure of the geocentric creatures, and began to follow Koro. Peggy introduces her thoughts on "Mine Bottom".

Coro. After listening to it, Peggy gradually became excited, and then looked at this ordinary-looking and featureless Chinese director in surprise.

He found that this Chinese director's cognition of science fiction movies is simply not inferior to any mainstream science fiction director, especially when talking about the inner world. Peggy was shocked to find that the sci-fi movie "Underground" she had made was completely incomparable to the script of "Mine Bottom......

It is more comprehensive, more extensive, and especially the theory of the center of the earth is even more amazing!

Coro. Peggy unconsciously began to yearn for the inner world depicted by Jung Jun.

in the office.

Coro. Peggy and Zheng Jun chatted very energetically.

Zheng Jun said his thoughts, Coro. On the basis of the idea, Peggy added some logic and the background of those monsters, as well as some adjustments to the appearance......

Zhou Yang listened silently.

About a few hours later, when the two of them had almost perfected the inner world, a smile appeared on Zhou Yang's face.

"By the way, I wanted to add something to the movie 'Mine Bottom'......"

"What's that?"

"Relics of the Centric Civilization ......"

"Huh?"

"I want to use the movie "Mine Bottom" to open up the super monster universe...... That's my idea, well, I also drew a few monsters, their names are Godzilla, King Kong, of course, these two monsters will not affect the main story of "Mine Bottom", some ancient geocentric ruins, you can use them as fleeting background boards, or easter eggs......"

“……”

in the office.

Coro. Peggy and Zheng Jun watched Zhou Yang take out two pictures from the drawer that had just been drawn, and then handed the pictures to the two.

Coro. After Peggy and Zheng Jun took the picture, they were both shocked.
