Chapter 506: Crazy Thoughts!
In general, everyone will encounter all kinds of difficulties in this life.
The higher you stand, the more visible you are, and the more difficult it will be.
In a sense, this is the norm.
"I'm sorry, I thought about it for a long time, and finally chose Mr. Zhou......"
"It's an irrational decision, it's almost devastating for you, have you forgotten the lessons of the past?"
"I remember, but I decided to say no."

November 23rd.
Linda, head of Fox's film department, looked at Jung Jun in surprise.
Jung Jun didn't dare to look at him, and since he walked into the office in the morning, Jung Jun had kept his head down or looked away, never making eye contact with her.
A charming smile appeared on Linda's face, and after seeing Zheng Jun's resolute words, she finally flashed a trace of regret, but she didn't say anything, and finally just nodded: "If you are willing to come over, our Fox door is open for you at any time......"
"Thank you."
After Zheng Jun said these two words, he turned around and left the office.
Along the way, he felt a myriad of surprised glances and a series of whispers, and he quickened his pace, instead walking faster and faster.
In fact, his mind has always been indecisive, and he is afraid that if he stops a little, he will regret it and change his mind.
On the one hand, there is a splendid life, on the other hand, there is an extremely tenacious persistence and something in essence, both of which have been lingering in the chest, and even when I walked out of the door, a trace of regret flashed in my mind......
But he finally took a breath.
Relief flashed on his face, and then he made a phone call to Zhou Yang, and said these words half-jokingly: "Mr. Zhou, next, we may have to live a hard life......
When he heard the sound of laughter on the other end of the phone, Jung Jun also began to laugh.
…………………………
The actors who "Spider-Man" finally recruited have gone for most of this time.
Some famous people were poached, and some unfamous people couldn't stand the hard action scenes of "Spider-Man", in fact, except for Cruise and Trenster, the rest of the people were more or less arranged to practice some basic skills, and they could still stick to it at first, but after practicing, they practiced and ran away.
Most of the positions in the entire crew are vacant......
Of course......
These are not the worst, the worst thing is that Li Qiang followed the staff to find a college of higher learning in Laomei, ready to be used as the filming point of "Spider-Man", all the conditions were negotiated, and all aspects of the equipment were brought over, but the other party suddenly repented, and in the end Li Qiang could only return to the crew and choose a school according to Zhou Yang's requirements.
In addition to the tax of "Spider-Man", it will also check some tax conditions of "Chainsaw", which will be calculated in detail for a few dollars, fortunately, Zhou Yang himself is quite meticulous about taxation, and after checking for a long time, they finally didn't find anything, and finally they could only regret it.
The bad news came one after another, and the newly built crew of "Spider-Man" began to fall apart, and in the end, all the hard work of months came to naught.
"Damn ......"
"Now they're looking at "American Gangster History", and although there is nothing wrong with "American Gangster History", the movie can't be released normally during the inspection......"
"It's going to drive us out of Los Angeles!"
“……”
On the afternoon of November 23.
Xu Mei's face became even haggard.
He pushed open the door and told Zhou Yang about the company's current situation.
was inspected for taxes in three days, and faced with the investigation of its films, what is speechless is that the movies are basically checked by Zhou Yang, and as for the movies released by Sky Company, such as "Men in Black", such as "Jaws" and other movies, there is no problem at all.
It is clearly aimed at Zhou Yang.
After Zhou Yang listened to Xu Mei's words, even if he had always been very optimistic, his mood brought out a little gloomy.
Just now, Christian and Zhou Yang also made a phone call, and Christian, who has always been very bold, began to become a little distracted, and it took him a long time to say a complete sentence.
Probably the Hollywood Film Union, including the eight major film companies, are all targeting Zhou Yang, although Christian reconciled it through his own channels, but with little effect, but got a more helpless news, unless Zhou Yang leaves Los Angeles and leaves Hollywood, otherwise such a similar suppression will only be more severe.
After Zhou Yang recalled Christian's words, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and finally closed his eyes.
"Spider-Man" seems to be unable to be filmed in Los Angeles, so it can only return to China.
But in Huaxia, make superhero movies like "Spider-Man......
Patting around, are they all Chinese people entertaining themselves?
Filming "Spider-Man" Zhou Yang himself has the idea of bringing some Chinese culture to the people's cognition of Lao Mei, at least to correct some people's cognition.
Otherwise, in the future, the old American movies will be all kinds of squinting eyes and villains for the Chinese people, isn't this disgusting and insulting?
"There's another call over there, and someone has come to check on the crew again......"
Xu Mei's phone rang, and after answering the phone, Xu Mei left the office very irritably.
The office fell silent again.
Tens of millions of thoughts flashed through Zhou Yang's mind, thinking about the plan to shoot "Spider-Man" after returning to Huaxia, and after a long time, Zhou Yang's mood gradually calmed down.
His phone number also remembered.
The call came from An Xiao......
An Xiao first asked about Zhou Yang's recent situation with concern, and asked Zhou Yang to rest well and not stay up late, and then vaguely said that if he couldn't hold it in Haolaiwu, he could go back to Huaxia.
Of course, if you really want to shoot "Spider-Man", then you will shoot it, but when "Spider-Man" was released in Lao Mei, it was exported to Lao Mei through the channel of Chinese export movies.
Over the years, the relationship between Huaxia officials and Lao Mei has been quite close, not a honeymoon period, but at least the two sides are extremely harmonious, and there is no problem at all in exporting movies to each other in this way.
Zhou Yang did not refuse An Xiao's proposal, and after chatting about some topics, Zhou Yang hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone......
Zhou Yang stayed in the office and reflected on what he should do next.
Whether to take the entire crew of "Spider-Man" back to Huaxia to shoot and release it in the form of export after filming, or continue to stay in Laomei and release it in the way of export after filming.
Thinking about it, Zhou Yang looked at the book "The Road to Good Dock" next to the office.
The book "The Road to Hollywood" is about the birth of Hollywood......
When he turned the first page, Zhou Yang saw some extremely old stories......
The laws of each state in the United States are different, the "patent troll" Edson registered a "film patent, as long as it is a producer or filmmaker who makes a movie, he will send thugs to collect taxes, filmmakers are forced to have no choice but to leave their hometowns, choose places, choose places where thugs can't find, at the beginning of the 90th century, this place in Los Angeles was actually a wild land, and then the first batch of filmmakers came to this place to make movies because of the so-called "film patent tax". The number of filmmakers who came one after another increased, and gradually the city of Los Angeles became the film capital of the world......
After reading this story, Zhou Yang felt that a flame appeared in his heart, and this flame could not be extinguished for a long time.
He heard a noise outside the house.
He stood up.
When he walked out, Zhou Yang saw the personnel of the tax department walking in, and then checked Zhou Yang's company again, while Xu Mei kept dealing with these personnel.
After tossing for a long time, the tax officer could only leave empty-handed......
Outside the office, a group of "Spider-Man" actors were around, looking around, curious and a little worried.
After closing the door, Xu Mei sat opposite Zhou Yang in frustration, tired and angry.
She has never encountered anything like this in her career.
Now things have reached a point where they can't be resolved, and in a way, they have to leave Los Angeles to clear up a bit.
"Mr. Zhou, let's go, staying here for a day is a loss of a day, Congressman Sergei has a lot of energy in Los Angeles, and Christian can't ...... it"
"Sister Xu Mei......"
"Mr. Zhou, what's wrong?"
"You go and find out what states in the United States have slightly lower taxes......"
"Huh?"
"Don't ask, you can check it for me first."
"Oh, okay."
Xu Mei was a little puzzled, but still nodded.
About a few minutes later, Xu Mei brought information about some states in Lao Mei and handed it to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang nodded after looking at it for a while, and then made a call to Christian.
"Mr. Christian, can you contact the governors of these states in the United States? If it's convenient, can you introduce me? ”
"Mr. Zhou Yang, what do you want to do?"
"I want to make a movie, or rather, I want to move over there and make a movie......"
"Huh? This ......"
"I have a lot of movies, and as long as I can make them, I don't think they will necessarily be worse than these movies in Hollywood...... I just watched "The Road to Hollywood" and I was thinking, since Hollywood can start from scratch, can I ......"
“……”
On the other end of the phone, Christian seemed to be shocked by Zhou Yang's astonishing words, and he didn't respond for a long time.
A few minutes later, he exclaimed.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, you're crazy, you don't think you can resist Haolaiwu, right? Unless every movie you go on next can be as crazy as Jaws...... It's okay to go somewhere else to make a movie, but you still have to dispel these crazy thoughts......"
