You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 236 Invest in Zhou Yang!

   "Our movie is in Huaxia. In the face of the crazy attack of "Doomsday", we did not fall, but won applause..."

   "We have been questioned, but we are still strong. We speak up for those unknown civilians. In the face of discrimination and injustice, we will never be silent!"

   "We got $120 million at the box office with an investment of $200,000!"

   "Six hundred times the profit!"

   "This is a miracle in the history of Hollywood movies, and a whole new milestone!"

   "I have asked for Mr. Zhou Yang's approval, and I will officially announce the full version of "Chainsaw" after the drawing of "Chainsaw"..."

   "The so-called full version of "The Saw" on the Internet is twelve hours, but the real movie is fifteen hours..."

   "It will be all free! The whole journey is free!"

hard to believe.

   "Lamb", which was supposed to start last year, still hasn't started shooting.

   The plot of "Lambs" doesn't even see Christian's shadow.

He is very busy!

   These days, he seems to have become the spokesperson of "Chainsaw" in Europe and the United States, constantly leading the team around Europe and the United States to promote this artwork that he is most satisfied with.

   He arrived in every country, and he was on the throne, with a smile on his face, and said these words with passion, and he could hear bursts of warm applause after each speech.

   He even signed up for the 79th Academy Awards at the end of February this year, looking forward to this "Chainsaw" being nominated for the Oscars.

   Even though he is only the assistant director of the film…

   He saw the huge popularity of this movie, and at the same time, he also saw the crazy profits behind these huge popularity!

   This kind of income is not just for movies...

   More on things other than movies.

  Strictly speaking, although this "Chainsaw" was released by Warner, the production company was his Hollywood company "SKY".

  Christian is both the director and the boss...

   As the first movie under the name of his Hollywood company, it is naturally unimaginable that he has devoted himself to the movie "The Chainsaw".

   In fact, since the filming of the film, Zhou Yang has become the most fringe character of "The Chainsaw".

  Christian did all the work that the director should do, not only started to cooperate with Warner's publicity work for "Chainsaw" at his own expense, but also planned every step before and after the movie was released!

   The shock of netizens, the explosion of the old beauty, the madness of Hollywood, the black congressman Olson announced the election...

  Everything seems to be a coincidence, as if it is validating an old saying in Huaxia, "No coincidence is a book".

  However, how can there be so many stories in this world, the story of being a **** in World War I?

  Behind every seemingly coincidence, there is actually a superb behind-the-scenes driving force...

   They calculated everything, controlled everything, and with the help of the background of the times, weighed the interests and forces of various aspects, and launched a huge gimmick, which immersed the audience and could not extricate themselves.

   And Christian, is such an amazing pusher.

   "The Chainsaw" is a very good-looking and terrifying movie in the eyes of movie fans.

   But in his opinion, it is an opportunity to make "SKY" famous in Hollywood!

   "Lamb" is a movie he has been preparing for five years!

   But even if "Lamb" is released now, it is impossible to have the terrifying gimmicks of "Chainsaw", and it is even less likely to generate 600 times astonishing revenue!

  …………………………

"Dear Mr. Zhou Yang, we have reached a preliminary agreement with the Tomato website for the copyright of the movie "Chainsaw". Do you have anything to add? The website's revenue is 50-50%..."

   "No..."

   "Oh, then if there is no problem, I will send you the contract by email. You can see if there is any problem. If there is no problem, please sign your name?"

   "Okay...Mr. Christian. Could you please speak a little more normally? Your voice makes me shiver..."

"Dear Mr. Zhou Yang, Warners asked if they could write the script for "The Chainsaw 2" as soon as possible? Actually, I personally mean the same thing. After watching "The Chainsaw", everyone is very much looking forward to the second department……"

   "Mr. Christian, Saw 2 is fine, but can you speak a little more normally?"

   "Mr. Zhou Yang, I really want to kiss you right now, do you know? You are my lucky star. The appearance of you and "The Chainsaw" is like a gift from God to me for many years of devout prayers..."

  “…”

   China.

   Zhou Yang received a call from Christian.

  Christian on the phone certainly didn't have the seriousness that Zhou Yang had when he first met him. On the contrary, Zhou Yang sounded rather disgusting!

  Christian was very excited to tell Zhou Yang all his plans for the amazing IP of "Chainsaw".

   This made Zhou Yang sick enough, and there was a faint feeling of acid reflux in his stomach.

  Think about it, a foreign middle-aged uncle pleated, using this tone to say that he wants to kiss you...

   Who can withstand this?

The two continued to chat, focusing on "Saw 2". Christian revealed between the lines that he wanted to direct "Saw 2". Zhou Yang asked him what to do with "Lamb" and how the investors dealt with it. At that time, Christian felt that it didn't matter, the big deal was to return the money to those investors. As for "Lamb", he continued to grind slowly...

   When he heard this sentence, Zhou Yang had an inexplicable illusion that "The Chainsaw" had taken Christian's way astray.

Next, the two talked about some future development issues. After knowing that Zhou Yang owns an entertainment company, Christian naturally talked more deeply about the future cooperation between the two companies, and even talked about one item. "Strategic Cooperation" program.

   "Mr. Zhou Yang, let me tell you the truth, SKY company, it can't be just a simple Hollywood film production company, do you understand?"

   "Christian, you mean..."

   "Now it's just a production company, but in the next five or ten years, it will be a film distribution company. The eight major Hollywood studios are very powerful, but... we will be like them one day!"

  “…”

   On the phone, Christian spoke very seriously, there was no joke in it.

   Zhou Yang was a little scared by Christian's ambition.

   He originally thought that the "SKY" company was just an ordinary company that Christian registered in Hollywood for the convenience of making movies, but he never thought that Christian would have such amazing ambitions.

   Zhou Yang was silent, he didn't know what to say, he even heard that Christian seemed to have something to say.

   After hearing Zhou Yang's silence, Christian on the other end of the phone seemed a little embarrassed.

   Zhou Yang in his imagination should be shocked, amazed, and even excited after hearing the news.

but……

   What does this silence mean?

   "Mr. Zhou Yang, don't you believe me?"

   "Mr. Christian, I think what you said is too far for me..." Zhou Yang was silent for a long time, then replied.

   "It's not far away, how can it be far away, you have amazing talent, whether it's "The Bottom of the Mine" or "The Raven", or this "Chainsaw", I see the possibility of you..."

   "Uh, thank you Mr. Christian." Zhou Yang replied.

   "Mr. Zhou Yang, why do I feel that you suddenly have a sense of alienation from me? Are you worried now that my SKY company will ignore you after it grows through "Chainsaw"?"

   "Uh, I'm not worried..."

   "No, you're worried, and you're worried, I don't think you even have confidence in our cooperation!" Christian continued.

   "Mr. Christian, I'm really not worried..." Zhou Yang shook his head sharply.

"Mr. Zhou Yang, don't deceive yourself! You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. I know you are a very ambitious Chinese. You seem sincere, serious, and take everything seriously in your eyes. Below, there has always been a restless, unknown heart hidden, if you dig out your heart, it is a beast that can devour people..." Christian's voice on the phone seemed to see through everything.

   "I don't, I really don't..."

"No, you have, follow your heart, I know you've wanted my SKY shares for a long time, you can't lie to me! Come on, I'll give you ten percent of the SKY shares... you were going to give it to me Twenty percent of the box office share of "The Chainsaw", if you take out an extra ten percent of the box office share, it will be your stake in my SKY company!"

   "I don't want it." Zhou Yang shook his head sharply, he felt that Christian was tricking himself into joining the team.

"Haha, Mr. Zhou Yang, I really didn't see you wrong, you are really a very greedy person, so let's give you 15%, anyway, you have to give me 20% of the box office. , is it the same to take 10%? And in the future, you will get a share of all the movies under my SKY company, and you will earn it!"

   "Christian, that's not what I meant..." Zhou Yang shook his head again, Zhou Yang felt that he couldn't do such a cheap thing.

"Twenty percent! No more, Mr. Zhou Yang, although SKY is very small and inconspicuous now, but in the future Huaxia directors come to Hollywood to make movies, they can use SKY's company to produce, and resources can be shared, which is more important. The thing is, when SKY becomes a distribution company in the future, it will be more convenient for Chinese movies to come to Hollywood in the future..."

  “…”

  ……………………

   "Mr. Christian, I really don't understand, why do we have to let that Huaxia director take a stake in our SKY company? Although he looks talented, he is still not qualified, right?"

   "Elsa, we invest in a person, we can't just look at him alone..."

   "Mr. Christian, I still don't understand..."

"Mr. Zhou Yang's former boss of Huaxing Company is named An Xiao. An Xiao's family background is very mysterious, but as far as I know, she is very likely to be the most talkative figure in the Huaxia film industry in the future... Huaxia is a big In the market, no one can give up this big cake..."

"what?"

"Also, "Chainsaw" is an amazing IP with great potential, and it can even be developed into games, animation and other works in the future. If Mr. Zhou Yang did not take a stake in our company, no one would know about the huge IP "Chainsaw" in the future. Will it be licensed to other companies, this is a huge loss that we can't afford..."

   "..." Elus saw Christian smiling, and Elus couldn't believe it when she said these words in the office.

"There is a more important point. When filming "The Chainsaw", Mr. Zhou Yang once told me through another movie. The name of the movie was "Spider-Man". Although there were only a few words, he only talked about a general idea. , but I have a hunch that this is another movie that can fire. If it is shot well, it will be no less than "Superman". I can't see such a movie leave me... At the same time, from the occasional chat, I can Sensing that this Huaxia director has a very keen insight into the future, this insight I have never seen in other people, even like a person from the future, I am keenly aware that I need to cooperate with him, I must To invest in him, while he is still a small person, put the future of our company on him..."

  “…”

   "I saw in him the shadow of the King of Hollywood horror, James Bond..."

   "What if it's wrong?"

   "God has always looked after me and never let me miss it once!"

  In the office.

  Christian narrowed his eyes.

  …………………………

Huaxing.

   There was a knock on the door of Zhou Yang's office.

  After the door opened, Wang Jing walked in silently with SKY's information, including Christian's.

"There is no problem with the information of SKY company. Although it was established in Hollywood not long ago, it has always been in a state of profit and has always been held by Christian alone. There is no problem with Christian's own information. It has been in the 90s. He has become famous in the European international film circle. His resume is very clean, and he has never been imprisoned or kidnapped. Besides, he is not only a very talented director, but also a very sensitive to the market and human nature. A marketing genius, his first movie "Kekexili" was originally a hit movie, but he made a lot of money by relying on the movie peripherals and actor tickets..."

  “…”

   Zhou Yang opened Christian's detailed resume.

After reading   , Zhou Yang nodded.

   "Sister Jing, you mean, can you buy shares?"

   "I need to look at the other party's contract. If the other party's contract has no traps, then I can buy shares..."

   "This is a contract."

"it is good!"

  Wang Jing picked up the contract and looked at it for a long time.

After reading it, she looked at Zhou Yang: "My personal suggestion is to invest in shares, but I always feel that Christian's contract is too loose and too simple for us, and it doesn't seem like a normal contract. The shareholding contract... I'd better investigate again..."

"Um!"
