You Made Me a Superstar

  Chapter 523 Various Arrangements

   "The special effects team of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is called [Pioneer], the boss is Zheng He, but the boss behind the scenes is Zhou Yang. Before the filming of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", Zhou Yilin, the director, set up the bridge..."

"I didn't trust Huaxia's special effects company before, and I also heard that [Trailer Special Effects] company was on the verge of bankruptcy. At first, I resisted, but later Zhou Yilin told me that [Trailer Special Effects] had been reorganized and got the corresponding compensation. The funds were paid, and I contacted the other party's special effects company, and I did see that the other party's special effects equipment and professionalism were good, so I didn't think much about it...I didn't know about this relationship until the end of the filming..."

"I didn't know the source of the song "Painting Heart" at the beginning. I only knew that it was contributed by an anonymous singer. Yilin did it all by himself, so I didn't think too much about it. I didn't know it was sung by Jiang Shushu and written by Zhou Yang until halfway through the filming of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin". ..."

   “As for investing…”

   "..."

  In the huge conference room, there was a sense of coldness.

  Jiang Ge's expression changed from excitement to gradually stiff, and then his eyes were full of disbelief, and finally he sat down on the chair dumbfounded.

"So... except for the script, most of the resources of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" are...huaxing's? The reason why I can get part of the official support and channels is also... all of this is a scam, and I, completely changed Become a fool?"

   Django said this.

  There is a dry feeling deep in the throat.

  He suddenly thought that these days, everyone in Huaxing is very polite to him, so polite that every smile is very close, as if he is in his own camp.

  Thinking of Zhou Yang suddenly and inexplicably starting to promote his "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", he once felt that Zhou Yang was out of his mind...

   Immediately, he thought about the details of the crew, as if everyone knew something, but tried their best to cover it up.

  At this moment, he felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body, like a deflated rubber ball, and he felt extremely mocking in his heart, wishing he could find a hole in the ground to get in, and then never come out again.

  Qian Wei did not reply, but stood in front of Django, as if he had done something wrong.

   "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

  Jiang Ge clenched his fists, his expression finally became ferocious, his eyes were red and he stared at Qian Wei like a beast.

   "I... Director Zhou won't let me say..."

   "I'll call Zhou Yilin, I'll call him!"

  His face was distorted with anger, then he took out his phone and called Zhou Yilin.

  Thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind, and even the tone of scolding almost spewed out of my throat.

   "Haha, congratulations, Xiao Jiang, the number one young director, this title is considered solid! Hahaha, not bad, not bad! Let me say that your movie is not inferior to any blockbuster movie!"

   "Thank you Director Zhou, Director Zhou, I will work harder!"

   "Okay, okay, okay! Take a good rest, if you have the idea of ​​making a second film, I will definitely give you resource support again!"

"it is good…"

  Before picking up the phone, Jiang Ge thought about roaring, thinking about greeting the eighteenth generation of Zhou Yilin's ancestors, and even thinking about various extreme ways to vent his emotions.

  However, when the phone was connected, Jiang Ge found that he had changed in an extremely disappointing way. It was as if his head had been lowered. The growling words in his throat instantly turned into thanks.

   I don’t know if it was the words “the number one young director” that pierced Django’s heart, causing Jiang Ge to be in a mess. He found that after he finished the phone call, there was still a smile on his face.

   There was an embarrassment in the air.

   "Jiang, Director Jiang, I... Shall I go down first?" Qian Wei shrank his head.

   "Well, let's go down first."

   "Okay!" Django nodded subconsciously with a stern face: "No one can tell you what you know!"

"I know."

   "Go!"

  Qian Wei left the office.

   Then I heard the sound of something being smashed in the office.

   But soon the voice became calm again.

  ………

  【Ten years of hard work, Jiang Ge has brought a gluttonous feast to Chinese movies! 】

  【The premiere was 40 million, the box office broke 200 million on the 6th, Huaxia Film is about to usher in a new milestone of 800 million? 】

  【Related departments: Due to special reasons, some Hollywood blockbusters have been rescheduled to March...】

  【Relevant departments are supporting "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" in their own way? 】

  【A real oriental magic movie! 】

  【The ideal fox demon Liu Tingting! 】

  【…】

  January of 2008 is definitely the most anticipated month for Chinese movies.

   "Infernal Affairs 2" and "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" made a good start for Chinese films, and even lowered the daily box office of "Time Travel", which is in full swing.

  Especially "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", after the premiere of this movie, it became a phenomenon-level movie in an instant, and it exploded!

  In the week since the movie "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" was released, almost all the front-page news of the movie pages were reports about "Liao Zhai Painted Skin".

  From costumes, actors' acting skills, to screenplays, to directors, to special effects...

Countless filmmakers have seen the hope of Chinese blockbusters from the movie "Liao Zhai Painted Skin". Some people even compared this "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" with Hollywood superhero series, and then concluded that this movie is completely different from any other. The capital of the superhero movie World War I!

  Jiang Ge ranked first in the most searched list of Chinese film directors on Weibo, and even surpassed Zhou Yang in real-time popularity.

  In addition to Django, the protagonists of the movie are also popular.

  Especially Liu Tingting's **** and charming appearance in the movie made the nerds in front of the screen want to stop after watching it!

sometimes…

  This is the era.

  Before filming "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", Liu Tingting was just a second-tier artist, and had no actual endorsement...

  But after the filming of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", the popularity went straight to the first-line artists, and countless endorsements flew to the hands of the agent like a snowflake. The agent was surprised to go crazy when he saw each heavyweight endorsement.

finally…

  Liu Tingting accepted a coconut milk endorsement advertisement of about 8 million a year.

The popularity of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" lasted until late January, until the box office of "Laughing Flowers All the Way" exceeded 500 million in one and a half months after its release, and after the movie "Crazy Stone" exceeded 600 million, the popularity of this movie reached its peak. Slowly it stopped.

Then…

   Huaxing has become popular again with an unknown actor. This person's name is Chen Shuangbao, and he was one of the members of the murder duo when filming "Mine Bottom".

"Liao Zhai Painted Skin" became popular with Liu Tingting, while "Crazy Stone" became popular with Chen Shuangbao, a dark-skinned coal miner who speaks a fluent dialect. After the thief Heipi, the still photo of the messy hair was turned into an emoticon by countless netizens, laughing so much that the netizens all had a stomachache.

  ………

   "The financial report for the second half of this year is very gratifying. In addition to the necessary expenses and year-end bonuses, the revenue of the movie alone has exceeded 500 million yuan!"

   "Although the distance from big companies such as Xinghui, Shengshi, and Huaxin Brothers is still not small, it is already a miracle..."

   "..."

  January 27th.

  Wang Jing called Zhou Yang.

   On the phone, they reported Huaxing's revenue in the second half of 2007 in detail.

  Zhou Yang nodded after listening, but did not show joy or excitement, and maintained a peaceful attitude from beginning to end.

  After the premiere of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", Zhou Yang immediately brought everyone in the special effects team of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" to Laomei and the special effects team of "Spider-Man".

   Even met An Xiao once, but there was no time for a meal, so he left again.

   "Mr. Zhou, aren't you coming back this year for the Chinese New Year?"

   "No, wait until the filming of "Spider-Man" is finished."

"Oh…"

  Wang Jing asked about Zhou Yang's situation, but Zhou Yang smiled and shook his head, but a slim figure appeared in his mind unconsciously.

   Then, he closed his eyes.

  He has a lot of things to do in Laomei, and many emotions can only be temporarily suppressed.

  Wang Jing on the other end of the phone was silent, seemingly regretful, but also understanding.

  Sometimes, people really need to sacrifice a lot of things.

  After chatting with Wang Jing on the phone, there was a knock on the office door.

   "Mr. Zhou, Xingyang Cinemas' "Infernal Affairs 2", "Crazy Stone", and "Laughing Flowers All the Way" have released at the Laomei premiere box office..."

"How many?"

   "$680,000..."

"How many?"

   "680,000 US dollars, "Infernal Affairs 2" 320,000, "Crazy Stone" 180,000! "Laughing Flowers" 180,000..."

   "..."

   Zhou Yang looked at the box office data, and then saw the very embarrassing attendance rate.

  Three movies that are very popular in China, but they all rushed to Laomei's side.

   There are reasons why Xingyang Cinemas is half-dead in Laomei, and there are also reasons why the environment is not acclimatized.

   After reading it, Zhou Yang felt a little disappointed.

   "Any more news?"

"The Hong Kong Island Awards sent us an invitation to participate in the 27th Hong Kong Island Awards. Many of our films were shortlisted for the Awards, um, "Infernal Affairs 2", " Crazy Stone" and other films were also shortlisted..."

"Oh."

   "Any more?"

"The movie "Brokeback Mountain" written by you anonymously has finished filming. The premiere date is scheduled for February 25th. Ms. Mary Vane invited us to attend the premiere of "Brokeback Mountain". I don't know if you are free...Of course , she emphasized on the phone that the screenwriter of "Brokeback Mountain" will do a good job of keeping secrets..."

""Brokeback Mountain"..." Zhou Yang was silent for a while, then glanced at the schedule of "Spider-Man", and finally shook his head: "Forget it, now the focus is on "Spider-Man", everything else, first put aside…"

"it is good!"
