A cold breeze poured into the studio.

The blow made people tremble slightly.

Xu Mei watched Zhou Yang take over the box office of the Chinese movie "History of American Gangsters".

The dazzling three-million-day box office appeared in front of Xu Mei, and Xu Mei felt an unprecedented sense of suffocation at this moment.

The movies produced by Huaxing have never pounced.

The premiere of the first "Mine Bottom" once sold more than 20 million at the box office.

And the movie "A History of American Gangsters" ......

Xu Mei didn't know what to say, and even thought that Zhou Yang would be annoyed, would sigh helplessly, would shake his head, and would be disappointed.

But she found that Zhou Yang remained calm from beginning to end, and after carefully watching the box office, she gently put the data report on the table, and then showed a faint smile as if she was nothing.

"Let's move on to the second part."

"Huh?"

Xu Mei felt that she had heard it wrong, and she couldn't believe her ears.

"The History of American Gangsters" is so low at the box office in China that it is going to become a joke in Huaxing movies, and the best choice at this time is to remove this movie from the shelves in time and replace it with other movies.

"Laughing All the Way" will be released on November 15, just at this time to make more room for this movie, no problem, right?

But Zhou Yang didn't choose to do so.

"Let's continue to play the second part......" Zhou Yang repeated again: "You can't give up halfway to do things, some movies are split and watched, and you may not be able to see the taste......"

"This movie is not adapted ......to the water and soil in China," Xu Mei subconsciously responded.

"It's okay, let's hold on for a few more days."

"Oh."

Xu Mei hesitated for a long time, then finally nodded, and then saw that Zhou Yang was still busy with the filming of "Spider-Man", so she didn't say anything.

She knew that Zhou Yang was very fond of Zheng Jun, but she couldn't have imagined that Zhou Yang would take such a fancy to Zheng Jun, and even did not hesitate to use hard-won resources to praise his movies.

…………………………

The second part of the Chinese version of "Once Upon a Time in America" was screened at Star Cinemas in the afternoon of November 10.

Zheng Jun specially learned about the attendance rate of "Once Upon a Time in America" in China.

Although it is a movie produced by Huaxing, the attendance rate of this movie is very low, and the first part is due to various reasons such as the length of the film and cultural differences, so that not many viewers come to watch this movie.

The second part is even worse.

The first part had an attendance rate of about 50 percent, but the second part had an attendance rate of less than 30 percent.

After seeing this data, although he was already prepared in his heart, Zheng Jun was extremely disappointed in his heart, and he was gloomy for a while.

It seems to be something that has been carefully cooked, but no one tastes it, and I think it is a cumbersome dross.

November 11th.

It's half past four in the afternoon in Huaxia and four in the morning in Los Angeles.

When everyone fell asleep, Zheng Jun was still watching netizens' comments on this "Once Upon a Time in America" on the Internet.

Compared with other Huaxing movies, "Once Upon a Time in America" has very few reviews on the Huaxia Film Network, only more than 200, and most of the comments are that this movie is too long, a little obscure, and has a sore bladder......

[Because it is produced by Huaxing, so although I think the title of this movie is very unattractive, I still walked into the theater to watch this "Once Upon a Time in America", after all, it is one of the few imported movies in Huaxing, and I have to support it more or less, but when I finished watching the first part, I only felt cumbersome, and the long and short things at home made people's brains hurt, the only thing that made me remember me was the girl who danced the ballet, that girl amazed me, in the afternoon, I went to the theater to watch the second part, I thought that the second part would surprise me a lot, but the second part disappointed me even more......]

[After watching the first part, I didn't want to watch the second part, but I didn't expect this movie to have a third part, my God, is this a challenge to the limits of people? I really want to give this movie a bad movie, but it doesn't seem to be so bad, if you recall it seriously, the characters are still lifelike, the atmosphere of the old United States in the last century is very strong, and there is a sense of irony from some low-level people, but if you ask me to praise this movie, I don't praise it, the movie is too long, I don't have the patience to watch it......]

[I really don't know what's wrong with Zhou Yang, I can't import movies, I make movies honestly, art films, you can make it, but you can't choose it, it's too boring, I want to sleep the whole time......]

[Jeff, was the director of "The Departed" before, right?] The American version of "Infernal Affairs", please, the American version of "Infernal Affairs" was shot too roughly, and now I want to make this kind of literary film, you can shoot literary movies well and there is a market, but, are you doing well? Damn, after I walked into the theater in the first part, what did I watch? I heard that there are two more films, my mother, I am a Chinese, I really can't understand this kind of Western culture, the only thing worthy of praise is that this movie vividly introduces our Chinese people and our Chinese culture...... At least it's much better than those directors who don't know anything and always shoot us Chinese people squinting......]

[Damn bad movie! ] Waste two hours of Lao Tzu, and return the money on the day! 】

【……】

Zheng Jun stayed up all night, reading the comments and seeing the morning sun rising in the sky.

The light of the morning sun is more healing on weekdays, and there is a slight feeling of rebirth on people, and when directing "The Departed", Zheng Jun feels that his whole person has been illuminated.

But the rising sun at this moment made Zheng Jun fall into a trough, and there was a feeling that he wanted to breathe, but he couldn't breathe.

His phone rang.

He was startled and picked up the phone as if he had been electrocuted.

"Mr. Zhou, I ......"

"What Mr. Zhou, I'm Zhang Changsheng!"

"Director Zhang......"

"The box office of the second part of "Once Upon a Time in America" has come out......"

"How much?"

"The first part is 3.2 million, and the second part is 2.1 million ......"

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Changsheng's words were very harsh, like a needle, piercing Zheng Jun's heart.

Jung Jun suddenly began to lose heart.

The box office is actually one thing, and what really makes Jung Jun breathless is the rating.

The score of the first part of "Once Upon a Time in America" on Douban is 7.8 points, and the score of the second part has dropped directly to 6.9......

Although it's not a bad movie, it also belongs to the ranks of movies that are not bad, but they don't have much to watch.

The ridicule of this movie in the comments is still secondary, and it is more that I don't know where a large group of water armies have emerged, and through this movie, they are ridiculing Zhou Yang's film selection vision, especially when he saw that the second part was not well received, Zhou Yang actually did not withdraw the file, and even forcibly insisted on the third part, which will be screened the next night, everyone felt incredible.

Some people even think that Zhou Yang is crazy, and after using his privileges to forcibly feed to fans, and even secretly talk about Zhou Yang's ascension, the future of Chinese movies will be worrying.

Zheng Jun's heart suddenly disappeared.

Although he still has faith in his films......

However, Mr. Zhou was affected by so many comments, would he still have confidence in this movie?

No matter how much I promise and insist, the box office and occupancy rate are there......

Little by little, time passed.

An hour later, Jung Jun stayed in his room, as if he were on trial, quietly waiting for the call.

Perhaps because of insomnia, he fantasized more than once in his mind that Zhou Yang called him and talked to him about the withdrawal, and even had auditory hallucinations for a while.

But......

Zhou Yang finally didn't call him, and he didn't receive any notice of calling to withdraw the file.

However, Zheng Junxin did not relax, but still spent every second in tension and anxiety.

The premiere on Lao Mei's side is about to start.

Zheng Jun had little confidence anymore and didn't even dare to open the door.

He knew that the box office performance of this movie might not be ideal, but he couldn't imagine that the box office performance in China would be so unsatisfactory......

The movie premiere in Huaxia is very bleak, and the traffic of the Xingyang Cinema Line on Lao Mei's side is very small, but this is still the case on Huaxia's side, but what about Lao Mei's side?

"Knock knock."

"Who!"

"I, Zhou Yang."

Zheng Jun suddenly became excited.

Then the door was opened.

"Zhou, Mr. Zhou......" After seeing Zhou Yang, Zheng Jun's nose suddenly became sour, and tears almost came out.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I originally thought that this movie might hit the street, but I didn't expect it to hit the street like this, I ......"

He wanted Zhou Yang to give him a chance.

But he found that he couldn't say anything.

"Say what? Pack up and go to the Star Ocean Cinema in the United States to watch the premiere......"

"Huh?"

…………………………

The U.S. premiere of "A History of American Gangsters" was not a bleak one.

On the contrary, there are a lot of moviegoers......

Journalists and countless media outlets flocked in, and in addition to the media, there were many spectators.

Zheng Jun once felt that Zhou Yang asked for "trust" for the popularity of this movie.

However......

When Zhao Zhen appeared and the mountains roared into a tsunami, Zheng Jun realized that this movie was not a trust.

Since the fire of "Lighthouse by the Sea", Zhao Zhen has countless die-hard fans in Lao Mei, and his influence is unprecedentedly amazing.

The combat effectiveness of niche fans is still amazing, especially when Zhao Zhen announced that "Brokeback Mountain" was being filmed and introduced love, a group of people were even more fanatical.

Zheng Jun saw a lot of male compatriots walking into the theater. Feeling. Eagerly awaiting the release of this "History of American Gangsters......

The Chinese version of "Once Upon a Time in America" was released in three parts, but the American version of "American Gangster History" was divided into two parts, and only one Star Ocean theater was released.

Exclusive release of the film.

Everyone took their seats one after another......

Zhou Yang also sat on the chair and quietly waited for the movie to begin.

"Mr. Zhou, I still don't understand very much...... What is the significance of a movie without box office and word-of-mouth? ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, Zheng Jun heard Xu Mei's soft words not far away.

"Director Zheng is a talented director......"

"In case of this movie, Mr. Zhou, this movie is already a loss on the surface......"

"Then let's lose money, when this movie was released, I didn't think about how much money this movie could make......"

“……”

Vaguely, Zheng Jun heard Zhou Yang's very firm voice.

Zheng Jun's nose suddenly became sore, and he felt like he was about to cry.
