You Made Me a Superstar Chapter 323

   Chapter 323 Men in Black

   "Chainsaw" has been painted under the old beauty for a long time, but its influence is still amazing.

   Hundreds of thousands of investment.

   More than $100 million at the box office.

   Shooting does not require any difficulty, just a blood-soaked survival scene.

  Low risk, high reward, and many hungry fans eagerly awaiting the arrival of Saw 2…

  Everything is enough to drive many old American filmmakers crazy.

   This February.

  Old America's similar escape room movies almost showed a blowout shooting state.

   And these finished films are almost all crowded into April.

  Zhou Yang opened the pre-sale tickets for the movie that will be released in the United States in April, or the upcoming movie.

After reading   , he was stunned.

No one could have imagined that since the popularity of "Interstellar" has faded, it is not other blockbusters that occupy the film schedule of the old America in April, but "Chainsaw Massacre", "Chainsaw Night", "Chainsaw Grave" and "Chainsaw". Movies with similar names like My Chainsaw.

   Moreover, the box office of these films is actually quite good. After watching it again and again, Zhou Yang didn't find one that hit the street.

   After seeing the introduction of these scripts, Zhou Yang felt a sense of familiarity.

   Almost every movie has a hapless black friend, a villainous white backstage contestant, and a string of swearing lines.

   All the movies seem to have a template, but you can't sue them for plagiarism or infringement.

   "Mr. Zhou, your "Chainsaw" set off a wave of chainsaws in old America. The game company saw the potential of "Chainsaw" and hoped to buy the game adaptation rights and authorship rights of the movie..."

   On the phone, Zheng Jun's voice was excited and frantic.

   is like making a fortune.

  This year's Cannes Film Festival has a serious and suffocating atmosphere inside and out.

  Although many participating filmmakers tried their best to cover up this feeling of depression with smiles, fans could feel the extraordinaryness of this year's Cannes.

Chairman Steve Ferres used to be a Norwegian director. In the 1980s, he made many bold art films in the international film circle. He was boycotted, threatened and banned for several times, but he did not. As a result, he fell into a slump, and on the contrary, his status in the film circle is getting higher and higher, and he is even regarded as a god-like existence by many filmmakers.

   In a way, art doesn't need mediocrity.

   Not only is it not necessary, but it must be maverick and fanatical, preferably the kind that devotes itself to art.

   The same is true of the so-called cinematic art.

  Steve Ferres appeared in the premieres of twenty-eight Cannes films this year, and every time he appeared, he would attract a lot of attention, just like the king of Cannes.

  This year's Cannes Film Festival has been controversial.

  Although anti-war films have always been a frequent visitor to film festival awards.

   The anti-war film "Bella's End", which won the Berlin Golden Bear Award last year, received rave reviews.

   But this year's "911 Celsius" was too bold and explicit.

"Bella's Last Day" only focuses on shooting civilians in Iraq, and the depiction of the war is very limited and obscure, while this "Celsius 911" almost pulled off all of Lao Mei's underwear and presented it in front of everyone naked. , With the premiere of "Celsius 911" in Cannes, the incumbent of the old beauty was criticized and cursed by many media, public opinion once fell to the lowest point of taking office, and there were even protests and denunciations on a large scale.

   The depressing and suffocating atmosphere of this year's Cannes is basically all from this film.

   A few days after the premiere of this film, filmmakers from all over the world thought that Michael Morgan might not survive the awards ceremony, and even predicted that he would be shot when he walked on stage, received the award, or even did not accept the award.

   Of course, director Michael Morgan doesn't care about these things at all.

   Artists are all fanatical, especially for an artist like him who is paranoid in his bones, if he can really die on the stage, then he will definitely be famous in history.

   February 24th.

  Michael Morgan finally met Zhou Yang, who he was thinking of.

   In Christian's mouth, he has heard the legendary story about Zhou Yang many times.

   Zhou Yang in the story is full of wisdom, alertness, paranoia and fanaticism...

  Artists are all lonely, like a lone wolf forever living in a corner no one knows about, but they also need recognition and companionship.

   He felt that Zhou Yang should also be such a person.

   A fighter, a hero!

   Michael Morgan was actually very surprised when he saw Zhou Yang for the first time.

The Dongfang director seemed to be immersed in his own world. When facing himself, he was taciturn and handsome, but he revealed a cold sense of chill, and he didn't like excessive interviews and attention from reporters just like himself. The windbreaker wrapped him to score. The outside is firm, as if separated by two worlds, instinctively resisting the reporters outside.

   He rarely talks about movies.

   When facing himself, he just nodded and greeted him. When eating together, he ate all the dishes on the plate as if they had been cleaned.

After eating, he politely declined the invitation of himself, Christian, and even Chairman Steve Ferres to hide in the room, not even going to the screening room of "Struggling", let alone accepting any name from any reporter. interview.

"He doesn't like crowded places, and most of the time, he likes to be alone. Of course, his personality changes a lot. Sometimes he is crazy about blood, sometimes he feels disgusting. He hates interviews, at least when I know him. At that time, he never took the initiative to conduct interviews. His personality was actually very paranoid. Of course, his personality was also very eccentric, and he seemed to be suppressing the violent tendencies that he couldn't..." Christian took a sip of tea and looked at Cannes. It was dark outside.

   "I think he is more like a sensitive, lonely dark night traveler..." Chairman Steve Ferres was not disgusted by this, and said in his heart: "This reminds me of myself when I was young..."

   "I think he's a proud person. When I ate with him, I felt a hint of arrogance in his bones. He seemed to look down on anyone..." Michael Morgan nodded, he agreed.

   "Boss, Mr. Christian invited you to dinner, will you come?"

   "Don't go."

   "Oh, boss, and Mr. Cameron, the photographer, would like to take a picture of you, so that it is convenient to take?"

"forget it."

   In the room, Xu Mei nodded and left.

   Zhou Yang looked out the window with complicated eyes.

   He didn't look down on anyone.

   He simply felt that he should keep a distance from these people, the farther the better.

   He saw Christian and felt that Christian seemed more fanatical than before. His remarks were full of all kinds of dangerous remarks, which made Zhou Yang's spine go cold.

  Christian was at the dinner table, chatting about the current old beauty, chatting about the people, criticizing, and even clapping the table.

He met the chairman Steve Ferres. Steve Ferres gave Zhou Yang the impression that he was a very sensitive and paranoid artist. Although his remarks were calm, Zhou Yang felt that this person was very dangerous, as if he was a A time bomb that could explode at any time, especially the way he stared at him, made Zhou Yang's heart beat wildly.

He also met Michael Morgan, the director of "Celsius 911". His thinking is quite dangerous. During the speech chat, he even imagined with Christian that he might be shot by a fanatic on stage. If this is the case, I hope Christian can be well Photographed him being shot and told his son that he was a hero!

   Immediately afterwards, he began to talk a lot about how he would die, whether the bullet would penetrate his head or his chest, and how he should fall to be decent.

   After Zhou Yang listened to Michael Morgan's words and saw the fiery anticipation in his eyes, his mind went blank.

   He thought this guy was a lunatic.

  The evening of February 25th.

   Zhou Yang heard a knock at the door.

   Then…

Here comes   Vill Smith, with a short, short, old black American director with a flat head. His name is Chelsea.

  Will Smith is the most normal person Zhou Yang has ever seen. He did not chat with Zhou Yang about the old beauty, but introduced the black director Charles to Zhou Yang.

   Zhou Yang glanced at Chelsea subconsciously, and inexplicably began to be vigilant again.

  Chels wants to make a sci-fi movie.

   There is a vague concept and idea, but this idea is very vague and cannot form a specific script. Cheles found a lot of screenwriters to tell them his ideas, and also tried to get people to write a lot of scripts, but they were not satisfied.

   So Will Smith introduced Zhou Yang to him. It happened that this time in Cannes, Chelsea also had a work shortlisted, so he came to talk to Zhou Yang about the script.

   "Mr. Zhou Yang, I like your "The Chainsaw". I heard that a game company bought the adaptation rights of "The Chainsaw" from you?"

   "Haha, thank you, I also like your "Sunset", if I remember correctly, this should be the only science fiction film in Cannes, right?"

"Yep."

  Under the rendering of some conscientious people in the old beauty, Zhou Yang's popularity among the black community is very strong.

Chels actually didn't hold any hope for this trip. In his inherent impression, Zhou Yang has always made realistic literary films, tending to the grassroots at the bottom. The films he wants to make are science fiction films. The best commercial movie with a comedy atmosphere is really the opposite of Zhou Yang, but it is actually quite good to meet Zhou Yang and chat.

   Zhou Yang chatted with Chels and found that Chels is also a normal person, without any paranoia or fanaticism, he then showed a smile, and his sense of vigilance slowly disappeared.

   Then…

   They chatted about the new movie.

"Mr. Zhou Yang...Are you alright?" After Chelsea finished speaking his thoughts, he found that Zhou Yang didn't seem to be listening seriously. Instead, he frowned slightly when he kept looking at Will Smith. .

   "Mr. Chels, wait a moment."

   After about ten minutes...

  Chels stared blankly at Zhou Yang handing over a script outline.

   He subconsciously took it.

   He saw three Chinese characters for the script name.

"Man in black".
