Chapter 500: A Born Leader
A good movie can affect the audience's emotions.
Joy, sadness, despair, or anticipation......
Let the audience follow the characters in the movie, go through a short or long journey, and experience a different life.
To Charlotte. For Sally, "A History of American Gangsters" is such a movie.
The day after the first round of the film's premiere, Charlotte. Sally still walked into the screening room, this time she walked into the screening room with many acquaintances, and continued to watch "American Gangster History".
"It was like an old friend, sitting in a chair, telling me stories from the last century very slowly, and in this story, I seemed to see myself ......"
"I remember many years ago, I was secretly practicing ballet, and by chance, I saw a reckless boy whose eyes were as clear as masonry...... I just stood on the dance floor and looked into those eyes, and I wanted to say hello to him, I wanted to strike up a conversation, but the boy was finally gone......"
"Later, I searched for the figure, but in the end I couldn't find anything."
in the screening room.
Charlotte. With tears in her eyes, Sally introduced the film to her friends.
The companions were stunned, and they couldn't imagine that Charlotte, who had amazed Hollywood and time. Sally still has such an unknown past.
The soundtrack of the movie loops around, and the soundtrack is a bit sad and tactful. Sally's muttering voice gradually began to lighten.
She continued to watch the film seriously, even though she had already seen it once.
The dim light of the film shines on the eyes of the audience.
Some of the viewers in the back row inevitably feel a sense of boredom, and sometimes the literary films are shot delicately, which is really tiring, and it is really unbearable for those audiences who pursue speed and excitement, but as the plot of the movie gradually deepens, their emotions are also controlled by the movie and continue to move forward......
On the screen, those characters who laugh and scold, they can find their own shadow in each character, as if they saw their former selves.
"Amazing group drama!"
Some people can't help but sigh.
At first, when I watched "A History of American Gangsters", there was a burst of laughter from the audience, but as the movie gradually reached the second half, the screening room was extremely solemn.
The audience has seen the changes in class, the changes of the years, the human nature, and the ants under the pressure of reality......
Every shot, every melody is lamentable.
The next day's screening also came to an end......
A group of people in the front row stood up.
Subsequently......
The thunderous applause lasted for a long time......
Zheng Jun still stayed in the corner, stood up, and joined everyone with tears, but he did not praise this movie, but praised his experience during this period and the difficulties of his years.

【……】
Evening, November 11th.
No one could have imagined that an American literary film with a total duration of seven hours, a movie with a poor box office at the first end and being scolded for being cumbersome throughout, ushered in a shocking reversal in word-of-mouth the next day.
Zhou Yilin opened his mouth after looking at the comments.
Especially when I saw the famous film critic Ba Liming actually called this "Once Upon a Time in America" a "great work" on his personal social media, it was even more shocking.
He looked at every comment carefully, and then saw the various analyses and pursuits that had increased wildly on the Douban Movie Internet, and the whole person felt that his hairs stood on end, and he couldn't even believe it, wondering if Zhou Yang had invited the water army.
Of course, it is impossible to invite a water army, every comment, every account looks alive, and it is impossible for a shadow rating figure like Ba Liming to ruin his reputation for some money.
Thereupon......
The next day, he walked into the Star Ocean Cinema.
At the time of the premiere, the Star-Ocean Cinema was empty and there were no people, but when the movie was released on the third day, the entire screening room of Star-Ocean's "Once Upon a Time in America" was full.
Well......
In the entire Huaxia Cinema Chain, only Xingyang Cinema played this movie, so it naturally formed a hunger marketing effect of more monks and less porridge.
Zhou Yilin naturally has his own internal channels, and he walked in without queuing up.
Upon walking into the screening room, he noticed that Django was also inside.
Django said hello to Zhou Yilin awkwardly, and then sat down in a chair.
From the morning, the two saw the evening.
The seven-hour film, which is screened in three parts, does take almost a day to finish.
There was an interval of time in between, but it was magically not affected by the mood of the two of them, and in the last part, the two were obviously shocked by this unique way of directing the film.
On the evening of November 12.
Zhou Yilin and Django walked out of the screening room.
Both of them had very complicated faces.
"This script and movie are really masterworks......
"What's even more commendable is that the more you understand that period of American history, the more you find this movie amazing, as if you are a bystander, witnessing the changes of time......"
"Oh my God, which Hollywood director made such a masterful movie!"
“……”
Django couldn't help but admire, and then thousands of emotions continued to stir in his heart.
There is no jealousy, because the level of understanding of the movie is so different that Django can't feel jealous at all.
Zhou Yilin was silent.
He knows some inside information, but he can't say these inside information for the time being.
"The real power is ...... Zhou Yang"
After getting in the car, Zhou Yilin closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
When Django heard the words Zhou Yang again, his face turned blue and purple for a while, and finally lowered his head.
…………………………
United States.
was originally the director of the world's "Once Upon a Time in America", and the ending is a sad character.
Depressed and depressed, he passed away five years after the movie was released.
Zhou Yang had heard the director's story, and at the same time, when "American Gangster History" premiered, it was a little pessimistic.
The movie is definitely a good movie, but it may not be accepted by the mainstream society, and it is even very likely that it will take many years before the movie will be turned out in the real sense.
He has even done a good job of supporting the release of "The History of American Gangsters", which can last for a few days, and if he loses some money after holding on, it will be regarded as an encouragement to Zheng Jun.
But Zhou Yang never imagined that after the premiere of "American Gangster History" in the United States, the word of mouth actually exploded.
What's even more unexpected is that in the Chinese film industry, which thought that it was not adaptable, the Chinese version of "Once Upon a Time in America" of "The History of American Gangsters" would also be a big hit!
"Mr. Zhou, I really, can't describe my current mood, sure enough, I ...... I was so ignorant, I almost missed a great movie......"
in the office.
Xu Mei has successively received cooperation intentions from other theaters, including some theaters in the United States.
Under the sun, she looked at Zhou Yang sitting on the edge of the windowsill, she was so excited, and she was ashamed of her superficial knowledge.
"It's okay, don't blame yourself, you've done enough, next, get busy with what you should be busy with, Spider"
Zhou Yang did feel a surprise in his heart, but there was a faint smile on his face, and he looked extremely calm, as if everything was in his own hands.
In the past few months, Zhou Yang has become more and more easy to hide his emotions, and it seems to have become an instinct.
Xu Mei nodded desperately and left the office with excitement.
She has to carefully screen these cinema contracts that come to cooperate, as well as the copyright cooperation agreements from various countries.
Theaters are second......
Copyright buyout intent agreements are crazy.
"Director Zheng......"
"Ah, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, Mr. Zhou is inside."
"Well, okay, how many copyright partnerships are there now?"
"I don't know yet, I haven't sorted out ...... yet"
"Oh, good!"
When she walked out of the office, she happened to see Zheng Jun's figure.
Zheng Jun's face was slightly red, and he bumped into her, and then Zheng Jun subconsciously touched his glasses, and when he asked her, he seemed to deliberately suppress that excitement, but the anticipation in his eyes was difficult to suppress.
After learning that Xu Mei had not yet sorted out the approximate copyright cooperation agreement, Zheng Jun was inevitably a little disappointed, but finally showed a smile and knocked on the door of Zhou Yang's office.
Xu Mei subconsciously stopped.
Then I heard a burst of excitement and choking voices from the office.
Half an hour later......
Xu Mei sorted out the copyright cooperation news, and when she stood up, she saw Zheng Jun walking out of the office with his head up.
She had never seen such bright eyes......
Full of confidence and ambition, it is like a sharp blade that shines in the dark.
She subconsciously glanced at the document in Zheng Jun's hand.
The name of the document is "The Bottom of the Mine".
Zheng Jun originally wanted to maintain his image as a director, but because he was too emotional, especially when he knew that three days after the release of "American Gangster History", film departments from ten countries came to inquire about the copyright, he finally couldn't help but be excited.
"Zhou is always a natural leader!"
