You made me a superstar

Chapter 313 What is Zhou Yang!
At the end of the 20s in this world, French director Joseph Erkin felt the arrogance of fascism rising in Germany and Italy at that time, so he shot a documentary film called "The Rise of the Demon", which thoroughly exposed that scene. The ugliness of the Fascist war and the madness of those in power were openly shown in major theaters, which aroused great repercussions in the society at that time...

In the end, Joseph Erkin was tied to the gallows by the fanatics, and died a heroic sacrifice in front of thousands of civilians.

In order to commemorate the sacrifice of that pioneer, coupled with the rising anti-war sentiment in the country, literary and artistic personnel have made related films to satirize the war, so the official accepted the opinions of those filmmakers and established an international film festival in Cannes.

In the following decades, the film festival has been committed to peace, anti-war, and revealing the truth. With the strong support of the government, the Cannes Film Festival seems to have a tendency to become the top three international film festivals.

After the millennium, with the fierce international competition, after a certain country began to become a world beacon, many filmmakers deliberately avoided certain factors when commenting on movies. This trend also began to faintly blow to Cannes. Many Cannes judges The wind began to change.

It's okay to shoot any shortcomings of other countries, but it's not okay to shoot some sharp things about a certain country.

Some filmmakers are dissatisfied, some people are angry, feel that art knows no borders...

however……

The characterization of "Struggle" is very embarrassing.

It has limited release in the United States. On the one hand, it is indeed a documentary film that is more realistic and pays tribute to life. On the other hand, it is sensitive.

Its sensitivity is not only to this war, but also to the chaos and discrimination under the bright beacon system of Laomei.

but……

This year's Cannes seems to be completely different from previous Cannes.

"A lot of people are against it, everyone thinks it's a sensitive time..."

"However, Mr. Steve Ferrez, the chairman of the Cannes International Film Festival this year, is very enthusiastic about this film. He not only shortlisted "Struggle" against the crowd, but also created a unique award for this film. The name of this award is the Special Palme d'Or..."

"Not only our "Struggle" was shortlisted, but also another anti-war film "Celsius 911/[-]". I was shocked to see this movie, the scale is very large..."

"This year's Cannes International Film Festival should be a big event!"

"..."

At the other end of the movie, Christian was as excited and enthusiastic as ever.

Zhou Yang had no doubt that even if he was asked to blow up the Statue of Liberty, this guy would rush over with a bomb strapped on without hesitation.

After hanging up the phone.

Zhou Yang directly removed the battery of the "Polaroid" counterfeit phone and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.

The speaker of Polaroid's mobile phone was too loud, and there were more and more problems recently, especially Christian's voice pulling his throat. Zhou Yang even doubted that the group of directors in the conference room could hear it clearly.

When Zhou Yang returned to the conference room, Zhou Yang saw everyone looking at him with complicated eyes.

"Cough, cough, President Zhou, congratulations!"

Huang Jiacheng twitched his muscles slightly, coughed lightly again, and then clapped his hands first.

Zhou Yang glanced at Huang Jiacheng in embarrassment: "There are always problems with this copycat phone, the speaker is a bit loud..."

"Well, I understand, I understand, next time I will also buy a mobile phone with a bigger speaker."

"..."

After Zhou Yang's episode, the taste of the meeting suddenly changed.

seem……

The enthusiasm that started the meeting was missing.

Some Hong Kong directors smiled like flowers on their faces, but their emotions were extremely sad and indignant behind their backs.

Special!

If you are shortlisted, you are shortlisted. Is it necessary for you to turn up the speakers so loudly?

Are you going to be shortlisted with all the shitty movies in the world, and get a special award?
Jiang Ge continued to chat about his views on the revival of Hong Kong Island movies and his "Night Walker".

Although he still looked passionate and full of expectations, he was a little absent-minded at the beginning, and even avoided contact with Zhou Yang all the time.

An inexplicable sense of irritability rose in his heart.

Two hours later.

The meeting finally came to an end with An Xiao's concluding remarks.

In fact, there was not much content in the meeting. Apart from announcing the official support of the film "Nightwalker" as the second cooperation film after "The Grandmaster", it was to gather some well-known directors from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan to chat about cooperation. , express their views.

When the meeting ended, An Xiao passed by Zhou Yang and said softly to Zhou Yang, "Come to my office."

The voice was very soft. If Zhou Yang's hearing was not quite sharp, Zhou Yang would have thought he had heard it wrong.

...........................

The night is haunting.

The moonlight shone on the land through the clouds, bright and quiet.

in the office
An Xiao stood in front of the window and looked into the distance. A gust of breeze blew her long, smooth hair, and her slim back was uneven.

"Zhou Yang, there are some false rumors on the Internet recently, don't pay attention to them."

"Ah? What rumor?" Zhou Yang was stunned.

"It's nothing."

An Xiao turned around.

When she saw Zhou Yang's blank expression, she smiled, and instead of talking about the matter, she chatted with Zhou Yang about movies.

March and April in the Chinese film circle is a grand occasion for the Chinese film circle.

The Chinese film circle, which has been sluggish for a long time, is even said to be vulnerable under the pressure of Hollywood movies. There are small hits such as "Mechanical Man" and "Jin Yiwei", and there are also "The Grand Master" and "The Golden Armor", " Movies like "Struggle", besieging "Interstellar"...

If this is a war, then it is definitely one of the most enjoyable battles in the history of Chinese movies since the decline of Hong Kong Island movies.

Of course, there are reasons for the quality and appeal of the film itself, as well as the adjustment and efforts of relevant departments.

Although the domestic film protection month mechanism has been cancelled, relevant departments have postponed some overseas blockbusters and done a lot of work behind the scenes to protect domestic films.

Many blockbuster films similar to "Interstellar" have been postponed, or are scheduled to be in the same period, and are preparing for internal friction.

however……

The pressure on Chinese films this year is still great.

Last year, it imported ten overseas blockbusters, and this year it directly imported twenty, directly doubling.

Zhou Yang listened quietly to An Xiao and thought about the plans of the relevant departments for the second half of the year and the severe situation in the future...

Zhou Yang nodded from time to time, but he couldn't speak. He just felt that An Xiao was a little abnormal today. Although he was as cold as ever, he seemed to have a lot of things to say, and when these words reached his mouth, they became work again.

Vaguely, Zhou Yang seemed to feel a little pressure on An Xiao.

Or, a little anxious?

Zhou Yang felt that this was an illusion.

Time passed unconsciously, Zhou Yang looked at the clock on the wall, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

The office suddenly fell silent.

An Xiao didn't know what to say for some reason, and Zhou Yang himself was an audience with no other ideas at all, and for some reason, he felt like listening to a teacher's lecture on politics.

After this awkward silence lasted for a while, An Xiao also glanced at the clock on the wall.

"It's been so long since we talked..."

"Oh, yes."

"I didn't delay you, did I?"

"No."

"Oh, I will continue to fight for "I'm Not the God of Medicine", and I'll fight for it in July..."

"Oh, thank you Mr. An." Zhou Yang nodded.

"Do you have anything to say to me?"

"Mr. An, I will work hard." Zhou Yang nodded seriously: "I know the responsibility is heavy."

"Is there any more? Well, do you have any questions to ask? There is no one else here, so you can ask any questions..."

"No more." Zhou Yang shook his head.

"Oh, okay, then, today is..." An Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said.

"Yeah, Mr. An, go to bed early."

"You too."

"correct……"

"what happened?"

"After the script of the new movie is finished, if you need any support and help, tell me immediately, it will not be worse than "Night Walker"!" An Xiao hesitated for a while, and said this sentence again.

"it is good."

........................

Zhou Yang left the office.

He felt that An Xiao had said a lot to him today, but he still couldn't grasp the key points in the words.

Zhou Yang went to the bathroom to take a tuba, and when he was about to get up and walk out, he heard a choking smell of smoke coming from the bathroom.

Then, he heard a familiar voice.

"Secretary Chen, you mean... Zhang Ke will probably be promoted?"

"Shh, be quiet."

"Why is he so popular just because of "The Grand Master"? He is not as capable as Xu Kangnian and Xu Ke in all aspects, and his qualifications are not as good as him. Why can he..." Zhou Yang heard Jiang Ge lower his voice and say this sentence.

"This is an organizational arrangement. The organization has its own considerations. Don't talk about your tongue. You should make the movie "Nightwalker" well and don't be distracted by Zhou Yang..."

"Zhou Yang, huh, Secretary Chen, let me tell you this...he is a well-connected household. Since his debut, which movie has he made himself? Was he the one who made the award-winning "Mine Bottom"? That was directed by Wang Shuai and Wang. He filmed "Chain Saw"? It was filmed with the help of the world-renowned director Christian. Speaking of which, it was luck to shoot a documentary film "Struggle", but It's all based on the gimmick of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Tell me, since his debut, which movie has he made by himself? Who in the entire director circle is willing to convince him? The director Wang Shuai and Wang who worked with him may not think highly of it. he……"

A few hours ago, Jiang Ge, who was extremely enthusiastic and even respectful to himself, seemed to be a different person at this moment. Although his voice was very low, Zhou Yang could hear him clearly.

"How do you say this kind of thing... Some people are lucky enough to be reincarnated." Secretary Chen agreed implicitly.

"It's because his parents gave him a good skin..." Jiang Ge's voice was full of unwillingness.

"You can just tell me about it. I'll treat you as a bullshit after drinking some wine... Don't shout about it to other people!"

"I understand. Now is the time when this guy is gaining power. I don't want to offend him. If the person behind me suddenly blocks me, I will lose a lot. After all, he is...hehe."

"Keep your voice down, don't court death at this sensitive time..."

"I'm quiet enough, don't worry, it's so late, everyone is gone, but Secretary An is really beautiful... I don't know how many times more beautiful than those goddesses in the entertainment industry, Zhou Yang, a ****, can catch up with her." This line is so fucking nonsense..."

"Shhh! Be quiet."

"Alright, alright."

"Snapped."

"Who!" Jiang Ge, who was originally drunk, was taken aback when he heard the sound.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the door on the other side of the bathroom pushed open.

then……

His pupils shrank.

Seeing Zhou Yang come out.

　one more

　　Before ten o'clock!
