You made me a superstar

Chapter 337 Those Years

May [-]nd.

evening.

Zhou Yang sat alone on a chair in the office, looking at the shooting plan of "Infernal Affairs" over and over again.

The plan is very detailed.

However, Zhou Yang always felt that something was missing.

"The Art of Film Introduction" once said that film is an art composed of sound and picture.

The "Introduction to Film" in the elective course textbook of the Directing Department of Yenching University has a detailed introduction to film art.

A truly classic movie, it not only makes ordinary audiences addicted to the plot of the movie, but also allows thoughtful audiences to interpret the stories in the movie and understand the story that the creator wants to present to the movie. What kind of intuitive feeling.

How to be immersive depends on the rhythm of the movie, the attractiveness of the story, the soundtrack that renders the scene, and the performance ability of the actors.

These things are indispensable.

The evening wind was blowing on Zhou Yang's face. He closed the shooting plan, then went to the window sill and closed his eyes, motionless like an old monk in meditation.

He is recalling.

Try to recall all the information about "Infernal Affairs" in my memory as much as possible.

The Infernal Way is the Infernal Hell, which comes from the No.19 volume of the Nirvana Sutra: "The Buddha said: Receive the inextricable body and never die, and longevity is the great calamity in the Infernal Hell." The old translation was Avii Hell.

When he first saw the title of "Infernal Affairs", Zhou Yang thought it was a ghost movie.

The blazing flames did not bring warmth and light, but slowly sank into the abyss against the background of the cold and dark hell. The weird soundtrack was like a mysterious call from the other side, repeating itself in the ear, adding a black dominant tone, It makes the movie more intrusive.

When Zhou Yang was a student, he subconsciously clenched the handle of the chair after watching the title, and his hair stood on end unconsciously, for fear that in the dark and hazy world, something scary would jump out and cause cardiac arrest.

After many years, looking back now, he can still feel the thrill of being there in the depths of his memory.

However, this movie is not a horror movie after all.

Scenes of the screen flipped.

There were bursts of singing in his ears.

The melody is soft and sad, as if something is gradually moving away from it until it disappears.

That's the melody of Goodbye Cops.

One picture after another was looming along with the melody deep in his memory. He wanted to see clearly, or wanted to make the picture clearer, but he couldn't see it clearly.

Then there was a burst of indescribable exhaustion, and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but sigh a long time.

He knew that his thinking had reached its limit.

Just as he was packing up, he heard a knock on the door.

"Mr. Zhou, the air ticket to Hong Kong Island has been bought. Team leader Li Qiang found a shooting scene on Hong Kong Island. I don't know if it meets your requirements. I hope you can go and see for yourself."

"it is good!"

"President Zhou, should we just leave it like this?"

"What's the matter?"

"The Departed Walker..."

"If the crew is short of anyone, they will transfer. Help me to spread the word, saying that the cast of "Infernal Affairs" will audition in two days..."

"Ok."

"By the way, the director invites you to have a cup of coffee. The time is tomorrow morning. Are you free?"

"All right."

"Okay, I'll reply to the supervisor."

"Ah."

After Xu Mei left.

Zhou Yang packed his things and returned to the chair.

Then, his phone rang.

The phone was an unfamiliar American number, and the English greeting on the phone seemed familiar. After hesitating for a while, he finally realized who that person was.

Then, I felt very surprised!
On the other end of the phone was James Bunter.

"Dear Mr. Zhou Yang, I plan to shoot "Jaws"!"

"Congratulations, Mr. James."

"Haha, by the way, have you received the script payment? I sent someone to your company account!"

"Huh? Haven't watched it yet..."

"Haha, Mr. Zhou Yang, I'm calling this time to invite you to be the guidance consultant for "Jaws"... Are you interested in coming to Martha's Vineyard to sunbathe? I have many beautiful girls here, and they treat you very well." Interested, I believe that you will "linger and forget to return" when you come here, haha..."

Martha's Vineyard is where Jaws was filmed.

When he parted from James Bond, he once mentioned it to Zhou Yang. He never thought that James Bond was a man of action. In just a few days, the whole movie was ready to be shot.

He called Zhou Yang this time to invite Zhou Yang to be the scene consultant for "Jaws". When he learned that Zhou Yang was also going to shoot a movie and he really couldn't spare time, James Bond instantly felt very regretful.

Of course regrets are regrets. When James Bond confirmed that Zhou Yang could not join the crew of "Jaws" as a consultant, he changed his method and continued to chat with Zhou Yang about movies like an old friend. Zhou Yang suddenly remembered that in "Infernal Affairs" there seemed to be some places where the scene was rendered, and this is what James Bond is good at, so he asked James Bond some questions about the atmosphere of the movie...

At first it was chatting, but later on, it was basically James Bunter talking about Zhou Yang's study.

The notebook in hand has recorded a lot of things.

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

Hong Kong Island.

SPPD Café.

Guan Tong seems to like that kind of quiet place with strong piano flavor.

The crew of "The Youth I Chased Together in Those Years" has already been set. It was originally planned to be set in Taiwan Island, but when it seemed that Zhou Yang's "Infernal Affairs" was going to be filmed in Hong Kong Island, Guan Tong temporarily changed it to Hong Kong Island, and it is about ten minutes away from the filming location of "Infernal Affairs".

The investor was dissatisfied, and hoped that Guan Tong would give him an explanation on the phone, but Guan Tong was not used to him, and kicked him without saying a word.

There is no shortage of those millions of investments.

The sound of piano music filled the air, and Guan Tong sat opposite Zhou Yang in a long black dress, looking intellectual and elegant.

In this movie circle that costs tens of millions or hundreds of millions, "The Youth I Chased Together in Those Years" is really a low-cost movie.

The total investment is only about 1000 million.

Guan Tong personally invested 300 million. After kicking away the investors, the remaining 700 million was invested by China Star.

Although Zhou Yang didn't know how much box office this movie would have in the future, he liked the script very much. After finalizing the approximate investment contract in the coffee shop and stamping it, Guan Tong didn't seem to want to leave, but pushed Pushing up the black-rimmed glasses, he looked Zhou Yang up and down, with a smile flashing across his face.

"Mr. Zhou... I know you are good at writing songs, and I want you to write a theme song for a movie."

"Forehead."

Seeing the expression on Guan Tong's face, Zhou Yang was momentarily taken aback.

"I want the film to present a feeling of regret, a feeling of dreaming back to youth..." Guan Tong began to tell Zhou Yang the feeling she wanted the film to present.

For an infectious movie, in addition to the plot itself being good enough and infectious enough, the background soundtrack is definitely a plus.

After Zhou Yang listened to Guan Tong's words, he fell into a trance for a while, and smiled again after a while.

"Do you have a pen and paper?"

"You have?"

"Write and see."

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

The editor-in-chief of "Hong Kong Island Entertainment Weekly" Zheng Dayong was investigated.

I heard that some old cases were involved, and even human lives were involved.

But rarely, there was not much report on Weibo, and even the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan media did not expose this matter.

Even [Zhou Yang's Love Exposure], which had originally become "explosive" or "boiling", suddenly disappeared overnight.

As if deliberately downplaying something.

In the chaotic years before the return of Hong Kong Island, there were already a lot of missing people, and many things could not be excavated deeply. If they were to be excavated, most of Hong Kong Island would shake. This is definitely not conducive to the peace and stability of Hong Kong Island.

Django didn't know what happened and what was the truth, he only felt chills.

of course……

There was another hint of instinctive disdain.

The world is always unfair.

Just as Jiang Ge felt that Zhou Yang was lucky to fall in love with a rich woman, but he wanted to be talented and good-looking, but he couldn't get the favor of a rich woman of this level.

And this rich woman is very likely to be in charge of movies in the future.

There is jealousy, anxiety, and envy.

"Get ready, I will meet John Williams later..."

"John Williams is..."

Jiang Ge's phone rang, and Cao Bangguo called from the other end of the phone.

After hearing the content of Cao Bangguo's phone call, Jiang Ge was stunned for a while. He only thought that he had heard of this reputation before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Hollywood's top soundtrack master, who has participated in the soundtrack of "Superman", "Jurassic", "Paradise Cinema"..."

"God! Uncle Cao, can you invite such a character?"

"I talked about it in Cannes before..."

"Oh, thank you Uncle Cao!"

"Thank you, it is the kingly way to make a classic, and this matter is still uncertain. When you meet John William Puss, talk to him about the core of the movie "Night Walker" and try to focus on art. Sublimation from above, he has always been interested in good movies, by the way, he likes drinking coffee and piano music, you can find a better coffee shop on Hong Kong Island..."

"Ok, I know."

no doubt.

"Night Walker" has a Hollywood soundtrack master like John William Puss joining in, and it will definitely become a high-quality international film.

The afternoon sun streams in through the windows.

Django smiled brightly after looking at the cast and behind-the-scenes list of "Nightwalker".

Afterwards, he put away his smile, carefully analyzed the content of "Night Walker", and grasped the key points and the core of the sublimated part of the movie.

He will use his talent and language ability to impress John William Pus, the master of soundtrack in Hollywood.

Two hours later...

Django came to the door of the SPPD coffee shop.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the coffee shop, he saw a commercial vehicle stop.

Then...

He saw Cao Bangguo and John Williams getting out of the commercial vehicle.

He suddenly felt a little nervous for no reason.

This was his first contact with a big shot of this level.

　It's really a vicious circle, it's getting later and later, I don't know what to say to apologize today, this author is too annoying...
