You made me a superstar

Chapter 451 The last laugh

Four o'clock on the seventeenth of September.

A torrential rain made the surroundings of Yanjing City muddy and hazy.

"Mr. Zhou Yang, this is the piano part of "Wedding March". What do you think?"

In the music room, Zhou Yang chatted with Perahia about the creation of "Wedding March". Zhou Yang was greatly inspired, wrote a few lines of notes, and briefly communicated with Perahia.

Perahia looked at the lines of notes in amazement, and then chatted about Vienna.

Because the movie "Lighthouse by the Sea" caused a certain sensation in the West, people from many niche groups took to the streets to parade, and Vienna was also affected, so Kenneth's saxophone recital in "Going Home" and Perry Lasia's "Palace" concert has been rescheduled to September 27th.

Perahia wanted very much to get the piano solo of "Wedding March", even if it was partially incomplete, she would very much like it.

Perahia is a pianist, but she is still far away from being a "Piano Master". While she has gained international fame over the years, she is also trying every means to get close to the sacred title of "Music Master". First, "Wedding March" is a rare opportunity for her.

Unfortunately, it was rejected by Zhou Yang.

Every musician in the Chinese music circle attaches great importance to the "Wedding March". This is not only the wedding of An Zhibin and Tang Xiao, but also an opportunity for the Chinese music group to go to Vienna and present the Chinese symphony to the West. These people are all thinking of having this wedding on the Rhine...

[Chinese people don't understand art] Many musicians hold back their breath and intend to break this sentence. It is naturally impossible for Zhou Yang to authorize Perahia to perform.

After coming out of the music room, Zhou Yang saw Wang Jing walking over, with a cold expression on his face.

"Mr. Zhou, the Golden Horse Awards meeting is over. Their intentions are very clear. They hope that we will go to the Golden Horse Awards first, and then they will send us an invitation letter..."

"How can this be?"

"Well, the Golden Horse Awards have been considered one of the three most powerful awards in Chinese in the past few years, and because of the special relationship between Taiwan and the mainland, there are many things that are not easy to participate in directly... From an indirect explanation, the group of directors and capital this time The pressure on the Golden Horse Awards is not small..."

"Oh."

"Mr. Zhou, shall we go? After Liu Tianwang came back from Venice, he has been in a depressed mood. "Infernal Affairs" itself is his desire to prove himself... If he doesn't go to the Golden Horse Awards this time, it should be a big blow to him... But if we go in the past, it is obvious that the Golden Horse Awards have been infiltrated by capital this time, we have won so many nominations, maybe we will win some leftover awards, your best actor, I guess I may not be able to get it..."

"Okay, I get it now."

"Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"

"No, tell Liu Tianwang, I will have a movie, as long as he believes in me."

"it is good."

outside the window.

The heavy rain made the windows hazy, making it difficult to see the distance clearly.

Wang Jing nodded, took the documents and left.

Zhou Yang narrowed his eyes, walked into the office step by step, and then glanced at the news again.

In the news, there is no such thing as those directors' movies being underdrawn, or other news, and they are obviously suppressed.

However, the hot discussion among netizens has continued, and various conspiracy theories have emerged one after another, and some people have even restored the whole thing in an exaggerated way...

Zhou Yang finally understood why An Xiao's mood seemed to be under such a slight sense of pressure a few days ago.

Then...

He suddenly felt that these old-fashioned directors in the Chinese film industry were awesome, and he also felt that how could the directors in this world have the courage to sing against the relevant departments.

In the past, the directors of Huaxia in the world would criticize some things at most and make some movies, but they would never unite to make trouble like this.

He turned his head to look at the gloomy sky outside the window, and suddenly felt that the current sky was very similar to this circle...

In the past, these directors covered the sky with one hand, or suppressed those potential juniors, or absorbed them into their own camp, trained these young directors in the way of "guiding" and "teaching", and with the producers, The close relationship between the capital and the whole movie circle is decided by them.

My own blazing out of the world broke and broke many things, but these directors suddenly came out like this again at a critical moment.

Because of them, the young directors have not yet grown up and cannot become the mainstay at all, while Hollywood movies are raging in China. Without resistance, these Hollywood movies will be more fierce and directly sweep the Chinese movie circle...

This is nothing, but what is really fatal is that Huaxia Films' failure to meet the box office target in 07 will not only affect An Xiao's resume, but will also affect the morale of the entire industry.

These people really feel a little bit strangled by the throat.

Just as Zhou Yang was thinking, there was a knock on the door in the office.

Afterwards, Zhou Yilin, the smiling tiger, smiled and walked over with an agreement.

"Xiao Zhou, fortunately, Jiang Ge's "Liaozhai Painted Skin" has signed our sharing agreement. The whole movie is produced by Xinghui on the surface, but we are secretly leading the whole plate... I plan to invite Liu Tian Wang, Donnie Yen and others will participate in the performance, and I will also assist in secret, don't worry, but the special effects team is quite difficult..."

Just after Zhou Yilin chatted with Zhou Yang about "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", there was another knock on the office door.

Coincidentally……

This time it was Zheng He, the person in charge of Huaxia Special Effects Company "Pioneer" who came in.

When he saw Zhou Yilin, he was taken aback, quickly called Director Zhou, and then looked at Zhou Yang again: "Mr. Zhou, this is the purchase list of the latest equipment from our "Trailblazer" company. Besides, [Digital Domain] Selina, the Italian director of ], has contacted us. She is a fan of your "Yangcun" and is currently guiding our company on the Internet. In two days, our "Pioneer" will be able to officially start filming Already!"

Zhou Yang nodded after listening to the report, and then looked at Zhou Yilin.

He found that Zhou Yilin's eyes were full of surprises, and immediately started chatting with Zheng He about some special effects.

While chatting, Zhou Yilin couldn't wait to go to the "Pioneer" to see the new equipment, and after talking to Zhou Yang, he left the office with Zheng He.

After the two left, the office became quieter.

After Zhou Yang picked up the "Pioneer" equipment purchase list and glanced at it, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Don't doubt, each of the latest special effects equipment of "Pioneer" costs hundreds of thousands, or even millions...

This is burning money!

And the burning made Zhou Yang very painful.

Then, he was in a trance...

Two years ago, even in his dreams, he would never have imagined that he would spend hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars in every move!
Then he took another look at the company's accounts.

The investment and expenditure these days have left the company's current accounts in a depleted stage, and there is not much disposable operating funds.

He turned to look out the window.

It is now around 05:30 in the evening.

But the dark clouds in the sky did not dissipate, instead they became thicker and thicker, with gusts of howling wind.

Just when Zhou Yang thought that An Xiao's car would not come to Huaxing, Zhou Yang's cell phone rang An Xiao's voice.

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

"Yanjing has not had such a heavy rain for many years!"

"After the torrential rain is over, it is estimated that the weather will start to get cold."

The car window was hazy, and the road ahead could not be seen clearly at all.

A car flashed its double flashes and moved forward slowly.

In the car, the driver, Aunt Zhang, drove the car carefully and unconsciously sighed.

Zhou Yang and An Xiao were exceptionally quiet.

Zhou Yang noticed that An Xiao was leaning on the back of the seat very tiredly, rubbing his eyes.

She didn't seem to sleep well last night, and it seems that she has been busy all day today, and her work seems to be not going well...

Zhou Yang didn't bother her, but looked at the pouring rain outside the window and the pedestrians holding umbrellas on the road, but were finally blown away by the heavy rain.

"How many directors are there in the Huaxia Young Directors Association?"

An Xiao suddenly asked this question.

"About five members other than management..."

"No one joins?"

"There were some, but they all withdrew later."

Zhou Yang thought this incident was nothing before, but after connecting with the recent incidents, Zhou Yang was a little stunned. He vaguely knew that there must be a group of veteran directors involved in it.

Zhou Yang was suddenly a little embarrassed. In fact, after the establishment of the association, Zhou Yang basically let Feng Kai take care of it. Because he was too busy, he basically didn't participate in it. Occasionally Feng Kai would chat with Zhou Yang. He also expressed some concerns about the current situation of the Huaxia Directors Association, but Zhou Yang never took it to heart.

"Oh."

An Xiao nodded, then continued to close her eyes without speaking.

"Feel sorry……"

"It's not to blame, you're just one person after all... Besides, there are too many of them, and many things are deeply ingrained, and it's not easy to break. Take your time." An Xiao shook her head and forced a smile.

Whenever there is any reform, whenever someone's job is changed, there will be a lot of resistance.

The older generation of leaders stepped down, and after the new generation of leaders came up, they still follow some conservative lines. Although they are not corrupt, many actions are very difficult to carry out because they are held accountable for filming.

Although An Xiao has a very strong relationship behind him, it is impossible for An Xiao to really use these things.

and……

Other people are also related. Many things are as full of factions as a network. Once it really moves, the scope of involvement is too large.

Zhou Yang also understood these situations.

When the car was about to drive to the gate of the villa, Zhou Yang was silent for a while, and then made a decision in his mind.

"An Xiao..."

"Ok?"

"Tomorrow, I will ask the Huaxia Film Association to hold a meeting, and contact Director Wang Shuai, and Director Huang Jiacheng and Huang... Besides, I will also contact Director Feng Kai at night. If necessary, I will personally ask Director Feng Contact those young directors..."

"What do you want to do?"

"There are still three months, three months, enough to make a lot of movies..."

"How to shoot?"

"I have a lot of scripts in my mind, they are on strike, let them go, let's see who can have the last laugh..."
