You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 135 Director Zhou, I will invest in you!

   Filming "The Raven" was not a very happy thing.

   After the filming of "The Crow", I saw the movie released and caused a huge sensation. The box office even suppressed Hollywood movies for several days, but Zhou Yang did not feel excited.

   That is a kind of sadness based on reality, and he just played a role well, that's all.

   In fact, his emotions have been quite depressed these days.

   Especially after seeing Zhang Jinquan and his wife struggling in front of the major media, and seeing the reunion of their relatives, but without their daughter, this sadness even affected Zhou Yang.

   Zhou Yang decided not to make such movies in the future.

   In such a heavy movie, the more you portray the characters incisively and vividly, the more indescribable feeling you have.

The arrival of   Zhang Genshui released Zhou Yang's suppressed emotions for a short time, but then, for some reason, he was taken down.

  …………………………

   June 16.

  The dim light on the balcony, mosquitoes flying.

   "I...we still broke up!"

"I can pay a lot for her. Although my mine has been seized, I still have money, a lot of money, and I still have a house, one building in Yanjing Center, five buildings in Hangzhou, and five shops... …”

   "In this life, as long as you follow me, I will let her live and breathe, and I can buy her anything she wants..."

   "But why, why did you break up with me, why?"

   "I divorced the one at home for her..."

   "The entertainment industry, is it really that good?"

   "Without me, what would she do..."

  “…”

   Zhou Yang made a few dishes and placed them in front of Zhang Genshui.

  Zhang Genshui babbled a lot while drinking a goblet of Maotai.

   As he spoke, he lost control of his emotions. He picked up a napkin and wiped it dry, but he couldn't tell whether it was snot and tears.

   At the end, Zhang Genshui even complained, and there was a lot of hatred in his words, but this hatred turned into a burst of lament.

   Zhou Yang was listening, but for a while he didn't know how to comfort the upstart who had been kind to him.

The reality is very cruel!

After the    "Mining Bottom" incident, many grievances who died in vain have been vindicated, but the state has also promulgated very clear mining regulations.

  Many private mines that did not meet the regulations and requirements were hit, and Zhang Genshui's industry was also completely shut down in this attack, and no more mining was allowed.

   Having spent most of his life in the coal mine, when he was suddenly informed of this bad news, he fell into an unprecedented confusion, coupled with the sudden departure of Xu Li, Zhang Genshui suffered a severe emotional blow.

   He felt that in this world, he had nothing but money.

   You mean ex-wife?

   His ex-wife has long since remarried with his compensation, and his children have the same surname as his ex-wife. If he goes back now, he might be beaten up with a broom.

   The story of the nouveau riche and the mistress ended with such an endlessly embarrassing ending.

   At this moment, Zhang Genshui is like a fat man who is so poor that he only has money left, dazedly facing the future at a loss.

   "Condolences."

   Zhou Yang finally choked out this sentence from his mouth.

   But then I felt that this sentence was particularly out of place. There was no dead person in the family, it was just the girlfriend who ran away with the person. My condolences.

"The fortune-teller in the mine is gone. People say that he was talking nonsense, and he was forcibly sent to a mental hospital by his family. Now no one recognizes him... When I go to ask him again, he will say that I am Fu Xing Gao. I took a picture, and later said that I was a **** disaster... I felt like I had a dream, and then I woke up and lay on the bed like a fool." Zhang Genshui poured another bottle of wine, and his throat was so hot that he finally drank it. He ripped off his clothes, revealing his fat beer belly, as if he had come to his senses, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

   "..." Zhou Yang listened silently.

   After searching all over the body, I felt that I could only find the word "Sorrow", but I couldn't find anything else.

"Director Zhou! Xiaoli signed with an entertainment company called Xinghui. I heard that the director was interested in inviting her to be the third female lead in the movie... You said, I'm going to be an investor in this movie, can you? Make her change her mind?"

   "Brother Zhang, as long as you are happy."

"I'm not happy, this is so **** cheap, is the entertainment industry really that good? I thought she just wanted to be addicted to movies, but I didn't think she wanted to be a star, she thought I was She is too low-grade, uneducated, ugly and lowly, not worthy of her..." Zhang Genshui slapped the table fiercely, not knowing whether he was angry or sad, his face was ashen and his whole body was shaking.

   After venting his emotions, he slumped to the ground and stared at the ceiling lights for a long time.

   "Brother Zhang, sleep here, you will be fine tomorrow." Seeing Zhang Genshui's appearance, Zhou Yang shook his head.

   "Director Zhou, tell me, is the entertainment industry really that good? Being a star is really that good?"

   "..." Zhou Yang was silent.

   This thing, he felt that no matter how he answered it, he was wrong.

   He actually has no interest in this circle, and he is not a star in his positioning.

"Director Zhou! I'll invest 10 million for you, can you help me make a movie? If it's not enough, I'll give you a little more. If it's a big deal, I'll sell a few houses... You help me make a movie, you help me I'm fighting with that big director, you help me beat him! I want her to know, I want her to recognize the reality, only by following me can she become a big star..." Zhang Genshui suddenly grabbed Zhou Yang's hand like crazy , his eyes were very excited, and his arm hurt when he grabbed Zhou Yang.

   "Brother Zhang, you are drunk, that, brother bodyguard, please help Brother Zhang..."

   "I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk! I want Xiaoli to know that she can only be happy if she follows me, she can only..."

  “…”

  …………………………

   Huaxing signed a group of newcomers.

  The old team of the original "Mine Bottom" and "Crow", Zhao Zhen, Chen Shuangbao, Liu Tingting and others were signed into the company one by one.

   Xu Li was also in the ranks of signing the contract, but for some reason, the contract was not signed for a long time. Later, An Xiao learned that Xu Li chose Xinghui.

  An Xiao didn't care much after learning this news, everyone has their own right to choose, she has no right to interfere with her...

In fact, the ratio between Huaxing and Xinghui is really too far. Although Zhou Yang has risen strongly and the "Crow" is a big seller, after all, the "Crow" movie is owned by Brother Entertainment, and Zhou Yang's box office commission is completely gone. The personal account has nothing to do with the company at all. The only money earned by "Mining Bottom" is after it is divided with the theater party, and then with Zhang Genshui. After the tax is deducted, the real gain is very limited...

   Although Jiang Shushu's album made a lot of money, it still can't fill the hole of "Warring States" investment.

  Which of the two companies, Huaxing and Xinghui, has a future, everyone with discernment knows how to choose.

   June 17.

  An Xiao, who was making plans, heard a knock on the door.

   Then...

After opening the door, she saw Zhou Yilin, the director of "Warring States", walk in with the script.

   "General Manager An..."

   "Director Zhou." After seeing Zhou Yilin, An Xiao put down her work and looked at Zhou Yilin silently.

""Warring States" made you lose some money, I'm very sorry..." Zhou Yilin still looked at An Xiao with a smile on his face as usual, "The film "Warring States" is my intentional pursuit of art, away from the fans. I'm used to making the same mistake as director Chen Kai, and after reflecting on it for a long time, I feel that if I directed "Warring States" again, it would be a little better..."

   "Director Zhou, don't take it to heart when everyone makes mistakes... things are over..." An Xiao shook her head lightly, revealing a charming smile.

"This time, I'm here with a new script. It's an ancient court script. It's full of love and hatred, as well as my understanding of machinations..." Zhou Yilin laughed and took out a thick stack of The script was then placed on An Xiao's table.

  An Xiao glanced at the title of the script "Golden Armor in the City", and was stunned for a while.

   "Director Zhou, aren't you going to take a break? Shooting "Warring States" consumed a lot of your energy, right?"

"Haha, it's nothing to be tired of, I'm in my prime now, and the movie "Hero" made me see another possibility of Chinese costume movies. After I accidentally saw this movie, I was very excited. I have seen a lot of scripts, but the ones that can excite me overnight like this one are really rare, I want to prepare the movie starring Liang Jinlong, Donnie Yen, and Zhang Shaolei in "Heroes"..." Zhou Yilin With a bright smile, he told An Xiao about his plans for a new movie. It could be seen that his tone revealed a sense of excitement.

   "Will the investment of these actors join..." When An Xiao heard the names of these Chinese superstars, he immediately frowned.

   "This movie, I plan to invest 130 million, and really make a blockbuster comparable to "Hero"..."

   "..." An Xiao frowned even more after hearing 130 million.

"Mr. An, of course, these investments will not let the company out. I have already talked with Xinghui. Xinghui will pay 60 million. I expect to get 40 million from other investors, and you will get three more. It's fine." Zhou Yilin looked at An Xiao and said this data with a smile.

   "I'm afraid the company won't be able to provide so much money." An Xiao was shocked when he heard the figure of 30 million.

"I have considered the reasons for this. Now we can make the plate of "Golden Armor in the City" together. Let's do it, Mr. An, the company account has 10 million yuan, and then I will discuss with the investor for the remaining 20 million yuan. Gambling agreement..." Zhou Yilin looked at An Xiao.

"Director Zhou, this is not a small amount after all, so let me ask Guan Tong and Zhou Yang to come over and read the script together, and then decide whether we will make this plate or not, what do you think? After all, the company's Funds are very tight." An Xiao neither agreed nor refused, but just said this.

   "Well, yes, you really have to be careful..." Zhou Yilin's smile froze for a while, and then he laughed again.

   After about half an hour...

   Guan Tong and Zhou Yang walked in together.

   When Zhou Yang looked at the name of "The Golden Armor of the City", he was stunned, and felt that the name was similar to "The Golden Armor of the City" in the original world.

   Then...

   After he opened the script and read it for a while, he felt as if there were thousands of grass and mud horses passing by suddenly in his heart, and the whole person was shocked.

  Although the characters are different in all aspects and the plot is slightly wrong, the story direction is almost the same, just like the low-profile version of "Golden Armor in the City"!

   "Director Zhou, what do you think?" Zhou Yilin looked at Zhou Yang and smiled.

   "Director Zhou, that... can our script be slightly changed?" Zhou Yang was silent for a long time, then suddenly said this.

   "How to change it? Do you have any comments?" Zhou Yilin, who was originally smiling, suddenly condensed again, his eyes flashed a hint of unhappiness, and then returned to normal.

   "That's right, I... don't know how to change..." Zhou Yang held back for a while, but in the end he couldn't even hold back his farts.

   "Director Zhou, have you read the script? I think you just glanced at it a little bit." Zhou Yilin narrowed his eyes, although he was smiling, he stopped looking at Zhou Yang.

   "..." Zhou Yang was silent.

   He really only read the outline of the script, and then flipped through the script, that's all.

the other side……

   Guan Tong read the script repeatedly for a long time.

"I don't understand the script..." She finally said bluntly, "However, the film made by Director Zhou should not be a problem, but the investment is a little bigger, 120 million investment, and it takes a horror box office like "Hero" to return Ben?"

"This movie is going to surpass "Hero"." Zhou Yilin looked at Guan Tong, and still smiled: "The movie "Time Machine" has dominated the Chinese film circle for too long, it's time to move …”

   He made no secret of his ambitions.

   At this moment, Zhou Yang's cell phone rang.

   "Well, I'm going to pick up the phone, you guys continue to chat? I don't really know much about movies, Director Zhou, President An, Guan Dao, you don't have to take what I just said to heart..."

  An Xiao and Guan Tong nodded at Zhou Yang.

   And Zhou Yilin ignored Zhou Yang from beginning to end.

  …………………………

   "Huh? The passport has already been processed."

   "Cannes International Film Festival? In three days?"

"Okay, I know."

   The call was from Wang Shuai, who informed Zhou Yang that the Cannes International Film Festival Gala was about to start.

   "The Raven" was shortlisted in Cannes.

   And shortlisted two units, one is the main competition unit, the other is a kind of attention unit award.

   In the main competition unit, Zhou Yang personally had a nomination for the Best Actor Award, and Wang Shuai naturally asked him to try his luck with him.

   Just after Zhou Yang answered the phone, the door to An Xiao's office opened.

   Zhou Yilin followed Guan Tong out of the office with a smile.

   They were talking and laughing. When passing by Zhou Yang, he didn't know whether it was intentional or because he didn't see it. He didn't even look at Zhou Yang.

   Then An Xiao came out.

   She sighed lightly as she watched the backs of the two leave.

   "Mr. An, what's wrong?"

   "Director Zhou is about to leave the company and go to Xinghui."

"what?"
