Jung Jun lit a cigarette and smoked it while pondering the script of "Mine Bottom".

Smoking is a habit he has been contaminated with in Hollywood, at first everyone around him smokes, he smokes along, and then gradually it becomes that only when he smokes, there is a little inspiration in his mind.

"The Bottom of the Mine" is a science fiction film, a dream of his childhood, and later in order to make a living, he was forced to sell this dream to others, and after many years, this dream came back to his hands.

Sometimes, Zheng Jun also laments the impermanence of life.

""The History of American Gangsters", there is a high probability that it will not be released, a movie of this length, after all, will not be able to get any commercial benefits, movies, are originally the products of entertainment, you have to add art to the products of this kind of entertainment, isn't this a maverick?"

"People, sometimes you have to accept reality, really...... Now this society is becoming more and more impetuous, and no one watches serious literary movies, let alone your seven-hour literary movie, I dozed off after watching half of it......"

Director Zhang Changsheng, who directed the road movie "Laughing Flowers All the Way," called Zheng Jun and talked to him about a lot of advice about "American Gangster History."

Zhang Changsheng used to be a very good comedian in his early years, and later changed his career to become a director, and made several movies with mediocre responses, and finally was banned because of the company's contract problems and Xinghui's falling out.

Now although "Laughing Flowers All the Way" has not yet been released, the situation in China is very good, as one of the suppressed directors, Zhang Changsheng naturally feels that Zheng Jun is in a fog and wants to help him recognize himself.

After Zheng Jun received Zhang Changsheng's call, he didn't say much.

In essence, he is very different from Zhang Changsheng, Zhang Changsheng is more commercial, and his mind is full of thinking that he will make movies to cater to the audience and be able to become popular.

Without a doubt, comedy is definitely the most lucrative and easily successful film in this field.

Zheng Jun is a little more inclined to literature and art, thinking more about how to use movies to express his understanding of this society and the world, followed by what kind of sense the film can present to the audience, and finally the commerciality of the movie, of course, Zheng Jun is not ignorant of business, the American version of "The Departed" is a successful commercial example, but there is always a literary dream in his heart, nothing more.

"Hey......"

"I don't know what Mr. Zhou said, whether our own theater can work......

"However, is Mr. Zhou really willing to get a theater for "American Gangster History"?"

Although he has always felt that what he shoots is a unique and irreplaceable work, countless people have said to themselves that after letting themselves recognize reality, Zheng Jun's heart will inevitably become gloomy.

He sighed.

I think of the movie "American Gangster History".

A seven-hour movie, if it is really to be released in theaters, is indeed a very bad thing for the senses.

He suddenly began to lose confidence in Zhou Yang, after all, how to think about it was unrealistic.

Although he filmed "The Departed", in a sense, he has proved himself, but if he really tastes it carefully, he really doesn't deserve to let Zhou Yang go to such a big effort.

However, since it's all filmed, don't think about so many things, whether it's released or not, it's up to destiny.

Jung Jun shook his head and continued to immerse himself in the world of "Mine Bottom......

The movie "American Gangster History" has been filmed, and the post-production has been completed, and then, there is basically nothing to do with him.

Just when he was relaxing and seriously pondering the filming of "Mine Bottom", he received a call from Zhou Yang.

…………………………

Chinese.

The movie "Sword God" really pounced.

The box office of the premiere was barely okay, but the box office of the subsequent follow-up movies continued to pull the hips.

Finally, at the end of October, the film's schedule was finally reduced to a very embarrassing point.

A movie that can't surprise the audience, and it's a martial arts movie, in today's era, it's really difficult to produce a hit.

The audience doesn't buy it much, and the theater side naturally can't make any money, so naturally they can only vacate the film schedule for other movies.

However, "Sword God" was not ridiculed much, from the time before the release to the reduction of the film schedule, there was no one talking about this movie on the Internet at all, with a score of 7.3 on Douban, a total of thousands of people commented, and there are some film critics who feel that it is a water army at a glance are evaluating this movie.

"The older generation of directors seems to be really bad...... Since Chen Kai "Overlord", the movies he has made have become more magical than the other, I originally thought that Shen Jinsong was a little more powerful, but no one could have imagined that Shen Jinsong also pulled ......"

"Isn't there still Shen Changwei?"

"Shen Changwei? There is only one Shen Changwei in Huaxia, who else is there besides Shen Changwei? ”

"Zhou Yang!"

"Is Zhou Yang considered an older generation of directors?"

“……”

Shen Jinsong, who came out of the theater, was depressed, especially when he heard someone talking like this in front of him, his emotions fluctuated, and naturally there were countless unwillingness.

But there was nothing he could do, he got into the car, wrapped himself up, and silently returned to Starlight's office.

After the election of the Huaxia Directors Association, Xinghui's film department did not become deserted, but began to become more and more lively.

The high-spirited Zhou Yilin always brings some young directors over to talk about the project with the boss Li Zhongjun, and at the same time, Shen Jinsong finds that the people around him are beginning to become less and less recognizable.

Clear-eyed people are knowing that Zhou Yilin is forming his own team.

Half a year ago, who knew that this smiling Zhou Yilin would suddenly make trouble, and then directly turn the Huaxia Film Association upside down?

After carefully reviewing what Zhou Yilin has done in the past six months, Shen Jinsong unconsciously felt a chill down his spine, and even felt that under Zhou Yilin's smile, there was a face that he couldn't understand at all.

Feng Minrui suddenly made trouble with Zhou Yang's side and put pressure on the relevant departments, although Zhou Yilin could not be seen from beginning to end, but Shen Jinsong always felt that Zhou Yilin was inseparable from this matter, it was very likely that this was a bureau set up by Zhou Yilin, and then Feng Minrui and others jumped down for the sake of interests.

In fact, at the end of September, the atmosphere of the entire Huaxia Film Association began to be wrong, full of resentment everywhere, regarding Zhou Yang as an enemy, even Shen Jinsong himself was infected by this atmosphere, and he was full of a sense of crisis and wanted to trample Zhou Yang to death.

It is only when people are calm that they can see through things in the true sense of the word.

"President Zhou......"

"Director Shen, I have already formulated a part of the project plan with Mr. Li of Xinghui...... I also talked to Mr. Li about your "Sword God", in the past, the association has been talking about unity, but basically they are fighting for their own interests, everyone is a little careful, this time I plan to reform it, "Sword God" I chatted with the relevant departments, and this movie will be used as a special export film for martial arts movies, and the relevant departments will come forward and export to Southeast Asian countries, you don't have to worry about copyright, it is the level of the relevant departments to come forward......"

"Thank you, President Zhou."

"Thank you, it's all your own brother."

Shen Jinsong looked at the back of Zhou Yilin leaving with a more complicated emotion.

I have to say that Zhou Yilin does have some energy, and if there is no accident in the movie "Sword God", the mainland box office may be cold.

After the mainland box office cools, you can only count on overseas copyrights.

Lao Mei and Europe don't think about it, unless it is a movie of the level of "The Grandmaster", otherwise they are a little disdainful of such martial arts movies, and there are problems of geographical and cultural barriers, so they can only count on selling the copyright of Southeast Asia to return blood.

Naturally, there is no wind and waves to promote the copyright of "Sword God", but if the relevant departments come forward, it will be different.

Although he knew that Zhou Yilin was winning people's hearts, Shen Jinsong still had some inexplicable emotions in his heart.

After a long time, he sighed again.

He probably resigned himself to his fate.

When he went home in the evening, Shen Jinsong heard Xiao Chen, the driver and assistant, chatting with him about Zhou Yilin's dynamics.

Zhou Yilin not only brought a group of young directors to Xinghui to discuss cooperation, but also went to Tianxia Entertainment, Shengshi and other companies to talk about movies, and also brought a group of screenwriters.

Shen Jinsong was not surprised, Zhou Yilin was different from Feng Minrui, Feng Minrui would occasionally hold a shelf and pose with some companies, but Zhou Yilin was exquisite.

"Except for Huaxing, Zhou Yilin has found all the cooperation he should be looking for."

"Oh...... At least there is a little bottom line......" Shen Jinsong nodded.

Huaxing's side is now a point of shame for the older generation of directors.

Their emotions towards Huaxing are quite complicated, they hate it, and even grit their teeth, but they have to admit that they can't shoot Huaxing, and at the same time, they have a sour feeling.

At this stall, Zhou Yilin seems to know that he can't get too close to Huaxing.

Then Xiao Chen followed Shen Jinsong and chatted about Huaxing's news.

When talking about Hua Xing and Xing Yang getting a theater in the United States and preparing to release an inexplicable seven-hour American movie, Shen Jinsong was stunned.

"Really? A seven-hour movie? Released on November 10? Who is the screenwriter? ”

"Jeff ......"

"Who's Jeff?" When he heard this unfamiliar name, Shen Jinsong frowned, and then seemed to think of something: "Wait, it's the director of "The Departed", right?" ”

"I don't know, who is Jeff Huaxing, there is a lot of hidden over there, but according to some unreliable information, this Jeff may be from Huaxia...... But Christian has made a vague statement that Jeff is a black man......"

"What the hell is Zhou Yang going to do? Crazy, right? ”
