July 4th, early morning.

The night is dark, and the sky is full of stars.

Zhou Yang woke up from his sleep and wanted to fall down again to sleep, but found that he couldn't sleep.

When filming "Spider-Man", he was a little reversed day and night, and after filming, he couldn't tell when it was morning and when it was night.

I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was about one o'clock.

There was a text message on the phone, the text message was sent by An Xiao, in addition to telling Zhou Yang to pay attention to rest every day, he also asked when Zhou Yang would come back.

During the period when "Spider-Man" was released, Zhou Yang and An Xiao kept in touch every day, but it was only a simple contact on the text message.

The Olympic Games are getting closer and closer, in addition to many foreign athletes who have come to familiarize themselves with the Chinese arena in advance, several of the most famous international singers have also been invited to China to help the opening ceremony of the Chinese Olympic Games.

What promotional video, what stage, what scene special effects......

As the most grand event in China and very likely to be recorded in history, the official will naturally not be sloppy.

"Come back before ...... Olympics"

Zhou Yang read the text message, felt a little warm, and after a strong sense of concern, he finally responded to such a sentence.

After replying to the text message, Zhou Yang stretched his waist, and happened to see the starlight in the distant sky, and suddenly recalled the scene when he first met An Xiao.

Thinking about it, he himself unconsciously smirked, and then felt a little emotional, he didn't expect time to pass so quickly, three years passed in a flash.

Vaguely ......

Zhou Yang still remembers that An Xiao told him a series of words about cultural invasion and culture war very seriously, and Zhou Yang, who was not enlightened at the beginning, was a little dazed when he heard it, feeling that these things were too far away from him, and he never thought that these things had anything to do with him, but now that he thinks about it carefully, these things are extremely close to him.

After the brief memories were over, Zhou Yang got up from the bed, got dressed and walked towards the office next door.

The office next door is Xu Mei's office.

Xu Mei has been staying up until three or four o'clock in the morning for the past few days, and then go back to sleep after "Spider-Man" has counted the box office.

At first, it was because the movie "Spider-Man" was related to the subsequent survival of Huaxing, and later when "Spider-Man" performed well in China, Xu Mei wanted to see with her own eyes how far the movie "Spider-Man" could go, especially yesterday, in George. After Luxenke bought the North American screening rights of "Spider-Man", Xu Mei's originally excited interest became even more excited.

In Lao Mei, "Spider-Man" couldn't do "King Kong Tiger" for a while, but in North America, "Spider-Man" has a lot less film schedule than "King Kong Tiger", plus the response to "King Kong Tiger" after its release was not as strong as expected, but the audience cohesion of "Spider-Man" is extremely high, after watching it, almost more than 70% of the audience is praising it, which inevitably makes Xu Mei pinned great hopes.

"Wow!"

As soon as Zhou Yang came to the next office, he heard a burst of excited voices, and then Zhou Yang heard the sound of high heels.

"Mr. Zhou, are you awake?"

"Hmm."

"Mr. Zhou, we got eight million dollars at the North American box office! The premiere got eight million dollars, which is not much worse than "King Kong Tiger", and tomorrow we will have more films, and we are really going to explode! ”

“……”

Xu Mei's excited voice shook Zhou Yang's eardrums.

Zhou Yang nodded.

Although she was happy in her heart, her face remained calm, and she told Xu Mei to go and rest.

Xu Mei nodded desperately, but she didn't mean to rest, but took out her mobile phone and kept talking to everyone in the main creative team.

Zhou Yang didn't say anything when he saw this, and on the way to his office, his mind began to recall the plan for the next "superhero" movie.

Regarding superhero movies, Zhou Yang has a lot of superhero names in his mind, and there are many familiar superhero names, and he didn't know which one to decide for a while, but in deep thought, he saw the information about "King Kong Tiger" on the table.

He narrowed his eyes.

………………………………

DV Corporation.

For Tony. For Auman, the night was too long.

A few days ago, he was once ambitious, but today he feels a sense of humiliation.

Yesterday, "King Kong Tiger" did not do well at the box office in North America, with only $12 million.

12 million US dollars, the box office in North America except the United States, this data is not bad, and it is even a blockbuster achievement.

However, if this movie is "King Kong Tiger", then it is indeed not enough to watch......

The "King Kong Tiger" comic was born in the 80s, and when the comic was born, it was once popular all over the world and had countless fans.

The DV company attaches great importance to the "King Kong Tiger" manga project, and even invited the comic authors of "King Kong Tiger" to supervise the production.

But comics can be drawn well, which can make comic fans fascinated, but manga movies have not become a hit like comics, or rather, they are not completely exploded, and they have not bombed the world!

[I feel like I don't have a sense of expectation! 】

[The plot seems to be no different from Superman, the scene is big enough, but after reading it, I can't remember it]

[The choice of the hero and heroine is not very suitable......]

【……】

He read the lowest-rated comments on "American Movie Network", but after reading it, he still felt at a loss.

The manga of "King Kong Tiger" respects the original work, and the plot is almost no different from the original.

[It's a pity, if there is no "Spider-Man", "King Kong Tiger" should be a hit, right? ] My companions have been bragging about how good "Spider-Man" is, how good it is, I don't even have the heart to watch "King Kong Tiger" ......].

After reading this comment......

Tony. Auman gritted his teeth.

He couldn't understand why "Spider-Man" could still survive under such pressure from Hollywood......

This is a film with no comic book foundation, and it just happens to be another similar "Lizard Man" hitting the street, and it has encountered a financial turmoil, everyone's interest in superhero movies has reached the freezing point, and it has been suppressed by Hollywood almost like a ban, and even the "American Movie Network" does not have "Spider-Man"!

All the disadvantages are all gathered in one point, but on the contrary, this movie can still be popular!

"Why is that?"

Office.

Tony's bloodshot face. Ou Man thought of the Huaxia man named Zhao Sicheng who found it a few days ago, and chattered that Zhou Yang must completely crush him, otherwise if there is the slightest chance, he will counterattack......

At that time, Tony. Auman felt that Zhao Sicheng was making a little fuss.

And now......

Tony. Auman closed his eyes.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the office door.

Then, Dilla, the head of the external marketing department of the DV company, walked in from the door with a gloomy face.

"Fuck, what can I do? What else can I do? Is "King Kong Tiger" not hot enough for you? Before the release, you see, how popular "Spider-Man" is, and how hot our "King Kong Tiger" is! ”

"Why are the results not ideal, now the investors have a lot of opinions, and the boss has even more opinions, just scolded me for four or five hours, and told me, Tony. Mr. Auman, what exactly have you done? ”

"This is the movie that our DV company hopes for the most! How could the performance of North America be like this! ”

“……”

Tony. Auman was scolded bloody.

"King Kong Tiger" actually didn't do so badly.

It has been a week since it was released on June 28 and today on July 4.

The total box office in North America has reached 140 million US dollars. Bonthe's "Jaws" was released without this result!

However......

DV executives' expectations for "King Kong Tiger" are actually to break $200 million in a week!

Of course, this is not the most important ......

The most important thing is that with the movie "Spider-Man" as a reference, "Spider-Man", a movie without any resources, is still rising at the box office.

The top management of DV felt an unprecedented sense of provocation and crisis, and naturally lost control of their emotions.

Dilla was tired of scolding.

Finally stopped scolding.

Subsequently, the two were in the office and began to discuss how to deal with "King Kong Tiger" in the future.

This discussion was discussed directly until dawn!

After dawn, tired and groggy Tony. Auman finally couldn't stand it anymore and went home to sleep.

This sleep, I woke up in the evening.

In the evening, he was awakened by a phone call.

The call was from Deira.

The call was simple, I wanted him to come to the company.

Tony. Auman frowned.

On weekdays, Dilla doesn't call him at this point for no reason, and Dilla's voice on the phone seems to be full of anger. Auman instantly had bad thoughts.

After answering the phone, he hurried back to DV Company.

When he came to the DV company, all the staff looked at him with a strange look, and the executives who had a good relationship with him also teased him, holding back something, wanting to say, but he wanted to say it and stopped, just let him go in first, and he must restrain his emotions.

He pushed open the door to the conference room.

Conference room.

The main creative team of "King Kong Tiger" and even the legal team of the DV company are here......

See Tony. After Auman came, everyone nodded, and Dilla turned on the projector and played a video under everyone's gaze......

The video is a sporadic clip of Zhou Yang's interview, from Delaware, an official propaganda video for the Delaware Liberal Democracy Newspaper.

"In the next movie, we're going to make Wolverine!"

Tony. As soon as Auman said the first sentence, he heard Zhou Yang say such a sentence in front of the camera, in English that was not pure.

Tony. Auman was stunned the moment he heard the name "Wolverine".

“what？”
