Chapter 593: Epilogue (5)
2008, 6 August.
Zhou Yang woke up from the bed, full of energy.
After returning to Huaxia, Zhou Yang has maintained a good night's sleep.
Well, originally Zhou Yang was going to participate in various planning and on-site directing for the Olympic Games, and many people from relevant departments had invited him, and even Shen Changwei wanted Zhou Yang to follow him to give advice on the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, but in the end he was rejected by Zhou Yang.
On the one hand, I was very tired when I was in Lao Mei before, and I naturally wanted to have a good rest when I was finally free, on the other hand, I have been a little lazy recently, and I feel that this kind of national-level event is laborious, except for being able to talk a few words on the side, Zhou Yang really can't do anything else.
After Zhou Yang exercised for half an hour and had breakfast, he heard the phone ringing.
The call was from Christian on the side of the United States, and the call told Zhou Yang a good news, black congressman Olson's support rate in various states has skyrocketed, and there is already a trend of suppressing white congressmen, and it is very likely to become the first black congressman in the United States. After telling him about this, Christian talked to Zhou Yang about Hollywood and the Oscars, which roughly means that after Congressman Olson is elected president, some measures will be introduced, and when the time comes, Zhou Yang can naturally return to Hollywood to make movies, and Christian talked to Zhou Yang about a lot of things in the future of the American film industry......
In the past, Zhou Yang would be very happy to hear these news, but since he came to Delaware, since the fire of "Spider-Man", Zhou Yang has no waves in his heart about Christian's plan for the future, and it is even like listening to a story from someone else......
Christian naturally felt Zhou Yang's indifference to this matter, and finally began to ask Zhou Yang some sensitive questions tentatively.
But Zhou Yang's answer was with a smile on his face, and he shook his head very calmly: "I don't need it anymore, after I left Hollywood, I didn't think about going back......
"It is undeniable that "Spider-Man" has become a dark horse among superheroes, but Hollywood is the world cinema palace, where the resources, the film industry, and the film assembly line ......
"I know all these things, but ...... Mr. Christian, these have nothing to do with me anymore, I have my own theater chain, although it is very weak, but as long as there is a movie released and the reputation is not bad, I will not lose money......
"Do you have that many movies?"
"Yes! And it's not just movies......
"More than just movies? So what's more?"
"A lot of things ......"
When the other end of the phone heard Zhou Yang's answer, he was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed and said nothing more.
After hanging up the phone, the sun shone on Zhou Yang's face, Zhou Yang narrowed his eyes, and after looking at the sky by the window, Zhou Yang changed his clothes and walked out of the villa.
Outside the villa......
Xu Mei has been waiting for a long time.
When she saw Zhou Yang come out, she opened the car door as soon as possible, and after Zhou Yang got in the car, she began to report to Zhou Yang about the box office of movies such as "Spider-Man" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Inside the car.
She excitedly told Zhou Yang that the box office of "Spider-Man" in China has reached 1.5 billion yuan!
After a few days, it is very likely to rush to the astonishing height of 1.6 billion, which is completely a milestone work of "superheroes", even if it is placed in the world, this is still an extremely amazing movie.
Zhou Yang was very calm and just nodded, as if a movie with a box office of more than one billion yuan was just a number.
After Xu Mei reported the closing time of "Spider-Man", she told Zhou Yang about the Hollywood movie "Mine Bottom", and Zheng Jun, the director of "Mine Bottom", set his sights on another Hollywood movie "Wizard Crane", and planned to release it with "Wizard Crane" and fight with it.
When Xu Mei said this, she actually disagreed with it in her heart.
The movie "Crane the Magician" is a film based on a world-class bestseller, and Warner itself invested $300 million, and Warner is ambitious.
Although in the chaotic times of China
wait, "Crane the Magician" chose to change the file, but the background of this movie is extremely amazing......
And "Mine Bottom", this movie called "Journey to the Center of the Earth" does not have any mass base at all, although Zheng Jun has emerged in the United States with "American Gangster History", but after all, he is only a Chinese novice director, such a movie meets "Wizard Crane", it is definitely an extremely unwise behavior, and more importantly, "Spider-Man" has made a lot of money, all of which have been invested in the special effects shooting of "Mine Bottom", if it is crushed by "Wizard Crane" on the street, then Huaxing will not return to the pre-liberation period onceBut also an absolute loss......
However, after listening to this, Zhou Yang laughed and did not have any worries.
"Director Cheng is a very talented and capable director...... There's no guarantee of what level the film will reach, but it definitely won't hit the streets."
Xu Mei opened her mouth and looked at Zhou Yang, who was shining with confidence in her eyes, as if she was in control of everything, Xu Mei nodded after all, and then chatted with Zhou Yang about today's itinerary.
"Mr. Zhou, go to the headquarters of Storm Animation today, the first episode of "Slam Dunk" will officially premiere on Soku Video...... Xue Ning, Mr. Xue is now waiting in the company, just waiting for the premiere after you have completed the review......
"Oh, good." Zhou Yang nodded.
………………………………………………………
Storm Anime was formerly known as Storm Studios.
It is a studio formed by several animation enthusiasts, and once produced an animation "Jingwu Little Hero", but unfortunately the results are too bad, and later when the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, he met Zhou Yang and met "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year", so that the studio officially got up from the brink of collapse, and drank the first sip of soup in this upcoming big era.
Xue Ning was wearing black silk professional clothes and had been waiting at the door of the company for a long time.
She was both expectant and nervous, and looked in the mirror next to her from time to time, seeing that although she was a homebody girl who stayed in front of the computer all the year round, her face was still beautiful and her figure was tall, especially when she was wearing black silk professional clothes, and after having a little bit of charm, she had a little more confidence.
"Mr. Xue, don't be nervous......
"I'm not nervous, by the way, Mr. Zhou has a few minutes to come over?"
"I just contacted Sister Xu Mei, about five minutes......
"Oh, so I'll go to the toilet first?"
"Ah, Mr. Xue, are you going to the toilet now?"
"Then I'd better hold it for a while."
「……」
"Slam Dunk" is the second animation of Storm Company, although the anime "That Year's Exemption from Those Things" was very successful and made a lot of money for the company, but Xue Ning still had a sense of apprehension in his heart, especially when he thought of seeing Zhou Yang, there was a feeling that the emperor came out to inspect in ancient times, and the magistrate trembled.
Zhou Yang is in her heart, just like a god, last night, she stayed awake all night, her mind simulated the situation when Zhou Yang came to the storm company to check but it was close to the side, but those simulated pictures couldn't be put out, and even a heart was so nervous that it was beating like a pop, as if it was about to jump out of her throat at any time.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Xue Ning heard a noise coming from the parking lot in the distance.
Then she instinctively walked over, and when she saw Zhou Yang get out of the car, her mouth was open for a long time, and she couldn't hold back the sentences she had pondered.
"Mr. Xue......"
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, please, please ...... quickly."
Xue Ning didn't know why he was so nervous, he only knew that his tongue was knotted, and after barely keeping his composure and welcoming Zhou Yang in, he only felt that his back was wet.
Subsequently, she took Zhou Yang into the first hall of the first version of "Slam Dunk", and took Zhou Yang to watch the first four episodes of "Slam Dunk" in the pilot broadcast......
When the anime started playing, her attention was not on the anime at all, but looked at Zhou Yang's cheeks from time to time, for fear that the first four episodes of "Slam Dunk" would not meet Zhou Yang's expectations.
These things were all done by Zhang Xiaoya before, although she is the person in charge of Storm Animation
, but these days, she somehow becomes more and more like a slightly socially phobic otaku, especially after seeing Zhou Yang's movies break through various records on the Internet, and how terrifying the international influence is, the sense of pressure is even greater, for fear that after Zhang Xiaoya runs away from the United States, she will drag the back of Storm Anime......
But fortunately, Zhou Yang was very satisfied after watching the first four episodes.
When Zhou Yang nodded and praised the anime with a smile for doing a great job, she subconsciously became excited, and was about to say something when footsteps came from outside the hall.
When she turned around, she saw Miao Miao from Soku Video Network, and Mr. Miao came......
Miao Miao, as the president of Zhou Yang's fan support association and Zhou Yang's partner, although her Xingyang Cinema Line has been established for a short time in China, with the help of several of Zhou Yang's movies, its momentum is no longer inferior to other veteran theaters, coupled with the legendary experience of "Spider-Man" overseas, Miao Miao has become a business goddess with both wealth and appearance sought after by countless young people......
"Mr. Miao, why are you here now? We'll go to your Soku video headquarters in more than ten minutes......
"I'll pick up Mr. Zhou's ......"
"Huh?"
"I bought a Rolls-Royce to celebrate Soku's imminent traffic to the top of China's No. 1 video website, and I'm ready to celebrate in advance that "Slam Dunk" surpassed "Iron and Blood Slam Dunk" to become the first anime to defeat the Japanese comic and dominate the whole R book!"
「……」
Miao Miao walked in happily, slightly coquettish, and said this sentence with domineering, and then ignored Xu Mei's stunnedness, and trotted towards Zhou Yang excitedly, and under Xue Ning's dazedness, he took Zhou Yang's hand and said a lot of things excitedly......
………………………………………………
August 7.
The countdown to the Olympics is 24 hours.
Following the news that "Spider-Man" reached the top in the Chinese film circle, there was also an incredible but extremely exciting news in the Chinese animation circle.
The animation created and planned by Zhou Yang, a subsidiary of Huaxing Company, topped the first place in Chinese animation in terms of clicks and broadcasts on the premiere day of "Slam Dunk", approaching the R region......
This news stunned Zhao Yan, Xu Mei's former best friend, who was once in charge of animation peripheral operations, and missed "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year" because of contempt.
