Chapter 241: dry them

Chapter 241 Dry them

A typical movie script takes at least one to two months to produce concrete results.

It is a level-to-level audit, usually after this unit has passed the audit, it will go to the next level to continue a new round of audit...

During this process, the elderly can cut in the queue, while the newcomers can only wait.

And waiting is often the most tortured.

Zheng Jun once wrote six consecutive scripts in a month, and each script was perfect. After waiting for two months, only the rectification opinion of "history is empty, not recommended for shooting" came.

Zheng Jun’s heart is not wrong. Many of the movies released are obviously bigger than his scripts. The so-called historical nihilism is even more embarrassing.

Later, after getting older and failing many times in the review, Zheng Jun became more skilled in writing books. In addition to realizing that he was not enough, the way he wrote the books began to change. He no longer made up plots by "imagining" stories, but Begin to move closer to the mainstream.

"This... it came down so soon?" Zheng Jun got the script submission for "Struggling".

When he saw the seal above, Zheng Jun couldn't believe it!

The script review process for "Struggle" was very fast.

On the first day, the two of them handed over the script to the relevant departments in person, and the script was reviewed on the second day, without even the corresponding rectification opinions.

"Well, yes, in addition, this is a support policy for "Struggling", there are some tax deductions and exemptions, and in addition, there are some priority arrangements for film arranging..."

After Zheng Jun watched Zhou Yang take out a large amount of support materials, he felt that his eyes were full of flowers.

He stared blankly at this scene, swallowed his saliva, was a little excited, and looked at Zhou Yang eagerly: "Mr. Zhou, is this a privilege?"

"I used to think it was a privilege, but in fact..." Zhou Yang showed a bit of helplessness on his face: "This is basically the standard for a director of Zhao Sicheng's level. Of course, Django's script review is faster..."

Zhou Yang, who used to be a layman, may also be as shocked as Zheng Jun and feel inexplicably honored.

But the more he came into contact with this industry, the more he understood the truth and met some people, the more complicated Zhou Yang felt in his heart. He is the purest and easiest person to live.

The smile on Zheng Jun's face disappeared, and the excitement in his eyes gradually turned into a trace of complexity.

Some people are struggling at the bottom, desperately trying to climb up, every step is difficult, full of all kinds of despair and darkness.

And some people were born on it, enjoying the sunshine and rain, and wasting their time recklessly.

After being at the bottom for so many years, what reality does he have that is unclear?

Various experiences over the years appeared in his mind.

Sad, deplorable, and ridiculous.

He took a deep breath and stared at the script of "Struggling".

At this moment, all complicated emotions disappeared.

He felt extremely hot all over, like a warrior about to go out.

"Mr. Zhou!"

"What's wrong?"

"I'm going to prepare." Zheng Jun wanted to say something proud, but when he got to his mouth, he found that he couldn't say anything, and finally he choked out such a sentence.

"Okay! Let's go."

"Um."

Zheng Jun turned and left.

After so long, it's time for him to come forward!

………………………………

February 8th.

Feng Kai walked into Huaxing again.

When came back again, his emotions were very complicated. He even stood at the door of the office for a long time, hesitating whether to go in or not.

He didn't know how to face Zhou Yang.

The former Xiao Zhou and Zhou Dao, marginal figures who were despised by themselves...

The little guy who stood beside him and kept silent at the meeting...

At this moment, he has become the boss of Huaxing, and he has become the most controversial director in the entire Huaxia director circle. Witnessing the rise of Zhou Yang with his own eyes, you said that it is impossible for Feng Kai to have no sense of gap in his heart.

He finally knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

After a quiet voice sounded, Feng Kai pushed open the door.

"Jin Yiwei" is officially finished.

is scheduled to be released next month, but next month is really not a good day.

Not only is a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster called "Interstellar" released, but also the blockbuster "Golden Armor" with Zhou Yilin's investment of nearly 300 million, and the gorgeous combination movie "Mechanical Man" with Django's investment of 80 million. Movies are like wolves, ambitiously staring at the film circle in March.

As for his "Jin Yiwei".

Although his film was successfully filmed, he was in a very embarrassing situation!

This movie has a budget of just over 10 million with the investment plus the publicity. It is a low-budget movie!

Such a small-budget movie is suitable for an unpopular schedule, and it is really not suitable to be released in March when monsters and monsters are raging...

Otherwise, I don't know how to die!

"Director Feng, long time no see, Director Feng looks more energetic, sit down, sit down."

After pushing the door open, Feng Kai saw Zhou Yang standing up with a smile on his face, and greeted him warmly to sit down.

"Mr. Zhou, it's alright..." Feng Kai clearly felt that Zhou Yang had changed.

Yes, Zhou Yang has changed a lot since the last time we met.

The last time in the relevant department, when the two of them were together in the conference room to shame those directors in public, Zhou Yang was shocked, but his words and deeds could still vaguely find out what he looked like a year ago.

And this time to meet again, he found that Zhou Yang had completely lost his original appearance.

He has been reborn.

He is smiling, but his smile is full of spring breeze, and every movement is filled with an indescribable momentum...

Feng Kai felt restrained and inferior in front of him. It was obviously very close, but it was very far away, especially when Zhou Yang helped him pour tea, Feng Kai was actually flattered, he just sat down and immediately stood up again. stand up.

The clock was running second by second on the wall.

The sun shines through the window, and it is very warm on people.

The two began to reminisce. Feng Kai found that Zhou Yang's voice was still very sincere, and people couldn't help but feel a touch of intimacy, but they began to talk more and more.

They talked about "The Crow" when they were filming "The Bottom of the Mine"...

The previous scenes were like a movie, passing by Feng Kai's eyes, Feng Kai was deeply moved.

We chatted, and naturally we also talked about the theme of Feng Kai's visit today: "Director Zhou, the situation in March is not good for "Jin Yiwei", I want to change the schedule, what do you think?"

Feng Kai told Zhou Yang about the movies released in March, and analyzed the predicted box office of each movie!

His attitude looked pessimistic.

Maybe it's because I care too much about the movie "Jin Yiwei", I care too much, but I don't want anything wrong with this movie.

Zhou Yang silently listened to Feng Kai's analysis.

Until Feng Kai could no longer say anything, he nodded, but did not speak, just asked Feng Kai to show him the sample film of "Jin Yi Wei".

The ticking of the clock on the wall in the office struck the hearts of the two of them.

"Jin Yiwei" on the computer is playing the plot.

After more than two hours, the "Jin Yiwei" on the computer came to an end.

After finished playing, Zhou Yang returned the sample to Feng Kai, but did not speak.

Feng Kai felt that the atmosphere was getting more and more strange, and at the same time he felt a little depressed, especially Zhou Yang's unintelligible eyes made Feng Kai breathless for some reason.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yang glanced out the window and sighed: "Director Feng... What do you think is the most fundamental reason for a movie to be successful?"

His voice was very complicated, as if he was asking Feng Kai, and he seemed to be asking himself.

"Publicity, film arrangement, popularity, follow-up word of mouth, and of course, the market..." Feng Kai answered a lot.

After being silent for a long time, Zhou Yang continued to ask: "Director Feng, you have said a lot, what is the most important factor that affects a movie?"

"Market and word of mouth..." Feng Kai thought for a while and finally replied.

"What determines the market and word of mouth?" Zhou Yang continued to ask like a curious baby.

"It's the quality of the movie itself." Feng Kai thought for a while.

"Director Feng, don't you have confidence in the movie "Jin Yi Wei"?"

"There is confidence, it's just..." Feng Kai suddenly found himself unable to speak.

He found himself terrified...

He is too eager to succeed, and this desire for success makes him unable to bear the consequences of failure.

"Do you think your "The Guardian" is inferior to Django's "Mechanical Man"?"

"..." Feng Kai was silent.

Naturally, I don't want to admit it in my heart, but I don't know why, but I can't say anything when I talk about it.

"Feng Kai, how high-spirited you used to be, why are you now like this?"

Feng Kai glanced at Zhou Yang, his eyes were full of helplessness, and then smiled: "Director Zhou, high-spirited people have been suppressed so many times, it's not bad if their mentality doesn't collapse..."

During this year.

Not only Zhou Yang has changed, Feng Kai has also changed.

Those who used to have no self-confidence have become extremely confident, and those who used to be confident have become uneasy, fearful, and sensitive, and their hearts have long been wiped out by reality.

"What if we win?" Zhou Yang said suddenly.

His expression was very strange, but his eyes were very serious, even exuding a trace of fiery energy.

When he heard this sentence, Feng Kai suddenly felt familiar...

His heart trembled slightly.

The time seems to go back to when the two of them were filming "The Bottom of the Mine" a year ago.

On that day, on the mountain, the young man who seemed to be inferior to his bones, but stubborn to his bones, suddenly said such a sentence when facing his own cynicism.

"What if "The Bottom of the Mine" is shortlisted for Berlin?"

That day, when he heard this sentence, he couldn't believe it...

He couldn't laugh to himself.

Not only him, but even the entire crew of "The Bottom of the Mine" were laughing along...

laughed at his ignorance and his ignorance...

However!

That day!

When "The Bottom of the Mine" received an invitation from the Berlin International Film Festival...

When he stepped on the stage of the Berlin International Film Festival and got the trophy, he raised the trophy in the spotlight!

Those who laughed at him suddenly realized that they were the biggest joke.

That day!

Zhou Yang wrote a legendary page when everyone was not optimistic about him...
