You Made Me a Superstar Chapter 534

  Chapter 534 Trivial

  Storm Studio.

A studio that was on the verge of bankruptcy a year ago, happened to meet Zhou Yang when they were having a breakup meal, and later got the investment from Zhou Yang, and forcibly lived on "Things About That Rabbit That Year" down.

  The second half of 2007 was extremely busy for the studio.

  I spent almost every day in "Those Things That Rabbit That Year", from the composition, from the voice actor, from the technology, and then after the script outline provided by Zhou Yang was cut off, I started to write the follow-up story and realize the animation internally...

   Along the way, this group of young men **** hard.

  With a little bit of luck, coupled with hard work and hard work, Baofeng Studio finally stabilized its foothold, and handed over a satisfactory answer amid thousands of troops.

  At the end of 2007, the boss Xue Ning counted the income of the studio. Leaving aside various production costs and various operating expenses, the studio earned more than 9 million yuan from the pure profit of animation alone.

   Touring the assembly line-like studio, looking at the energetic employees one by one, Xue Ning looked at the poster of "Things That Rabbit That Year", and another thought came to his mind.

  In addition to "Things About That Rabbit That Year", they want to make another anime...

   It just so happens that this year is the Olympic year, and sports-themed animations are the main theme, so Xue Ning wanted to get closer to this aspect.

  She chatted with Zhang Xiaoya about her ideas, and then the two hit it off. It took nearly two months to create a basketball-themed animation called "Slam Dunk" in great detail.

  Generally, the characters and story settings are basically following the popular "Iron Slam Dunk" in the R book, and even the names of the protagonist and supporting roles are imitated from "Iron Blood Slam Dunk".

  Matsumoto Ichiro, Kyoto Saburo, Inoue Shatian...

  After finishing all this, Zhang Xiaoya contacted Zhou Yang immediately, and chatted with Zhou Yang about her own views and the concept of future animation.

However…

   "Isn't this exactly the same as "Iron Slam Dunk"? It's a low-profile version of "Iron Blood Slam Dunk"..."

   "Besides, this plot, if you copy "Iron Blood Slam Dunk" so hard, aren't you afraid that the other party will sue you for plagiarism?"

   "More importantly, your character design... the protagonist also has an afro head, wears glasses, and often shouts the name of the slam dunk skill passionately, which is too embarrassing..."

"This…"

  In the office.

  Zhang Xiaoya and Xue Ning listened to Zhou Yangli's complaints.

The two were extremely embarrassed, Xue Ning was a little unconvinced, and explained to Zhou Yang that this was "crossing the river by feeling the stones, it would be safer to do so, and Huaxia Animation plagiarized R's animation, and there were actually quite a lot of plagiarized old American animations. Sue, there is no way to sue..."

  The other end of the phone was silent for a while, then hung up immediately.

  Xue Ning originally puffed out his cheeks, but his unconvinced expression suddenly collapsed like a deflated ball.

   "You said... Zhou will not be angry?" She glanced at Zhang Xiaoya with some confidence.

   "Mr. Zhou is not such a person..." Zhang Xiaoya shook her head, but felt uneasy in her heart.

   I carefully recalled the animation and character design of my "Slam Dunk", and suddenly realized that it was unreliable...

   There was a brief silence in the office, and then Xue Ning boldly made another phone call with Zhou Yang, only to find that no one answered the phone immediately.

  Xue Ning suddenly panicked.

  Storm Studio won't offend Zhou Yang, the God of Wealth, just because of her words, right?

  She thought for a while, and immediately sent Zhou Yang an apology text message. After sending the text message, she began to send Zhou Yang an apology email again, and conducted a series of in-depth self-criticisms.

  Starting from originality, from the interests of the company, from all aspects...

  In the next two days, Xue Ning kept working with this anxiety, while checking the responses of Zhou Yang's emails and text messages.

  She didn't receive a reply, nor did she receive any emails. When she occasionally called Xu Mei to inquire about Zhou Yang's status, Xu Mei replied that Mr. Zhou was always busy.

  She doesn't even know what Mr. Zhou is doing...

  Waiting is often quite uneasy.

  She even wanted to go to Laomei immediately and apologize to Zhou Yang in person.

  However, on the third day, Zhang Xiaoya hurried over and looked at her excitedly with her mobile phone.

   "I'm back, I'm back, Mr. Zhou is back..."

   "What did you return?"

   "Mailbox, hurry up, open the mailbox, it is a new animation plan!"

"it is good!"

  The two little girls opened the mailbox with excitement, and then Xue Ning saw a new email appeared on the mailbox.

  After clicking on the email, it was a document with a thickness of more than 500M.

open a file…

   The two saw four words.

   "Slam Dunk".

   Afterwards, the two stared at the profile.

  【After Zhao Yingmu, a red-haired delinquent who was dumped by 50 female students in junior high school, entered Shonan High School, he fell in love at first sight with Liu Wanqing, a girl of the same grade whom he met by chance. Under Wan Qing's expectations, Sakuragi, who knows nothing about basketball rules, joins the basketball team. Driven by the rigorous training of Wanqing's elder brother, the captain of the basketball team, Zhao Gangxian, and his sense of confrontation with "super rookie" Shen Chuanfeng, the hidden talent in Sakuragi's body finally emerged. At the same time, he was also attracted by the sport of basketball Conquered by the charm of…]

  After reading the introduction, the two of them immediately clicked on the character design inside.

   After the two of them watched it, they were shocked instantly!

  Time seems to be the least valuable thing.

  March 15th.

   "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" was finally under the spotlight, with an astonishing box office of 800 million.

  After the movie was released, the special effects company behind the movie was officially picked up by netizens.

  The name of that company is "Pioneer", and the boss of the company is Zheng He, a man with the same name as a well-known navigator in the Ming Dynasty.

   It was once looked down upon by others, and even filmmakers in the industry unconsciously formed a concept that "domestic special effects are rubbish", which seems to be broken at this moment.

  Domestic special effects do not seem to be as **** as imagined, and are on the rise.

The movie "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is like a good advertisement. It put "Pioneer Special Effects" on the hot search. Countless Chinese filmmakers began to become interested in this special effects company and began to find ways to contact "Pioneer special effects"...

   But it's kind of weird...

   "Trailblazer Special Effects" seems to be very mysterious, it does not take orders, and is not even interested in the quotations of other films, let alone those producers and directors who came from thousands of miles to discuss cooperation.

   Someone specially went to the "Pioneer Special Effects" company and squatted for a full day or two...

  But it is very speechless that the entire "Trailblazer Special Effects" company has only one not-so-big facade, a front desk and a few financials.

  伱 Even the boss Zheng He couldn't be contacted at all. After finally contacting the boss, the other party's response was only a simple sentence.

   "Sorry, I can't take orders at the moment"

   This awesomeness left everyone speechless.

  When there were more rejections, gradually this group of filmmakers began to find less...

  However, there are not many revelations about "blazer special effects" on the Internet. On the contrary, they can be seen every day in China's technology and movie circles.

  Someone broke the news that this is a special effects company from Hollywood. In essence, it is a company controlled by the famous Hollywood special effects company "Weta Special Effects". Zheng He is just a worker...

  Someone broke the news that this is a company acquired by Zhou Yang last year, and all the special effects teams of this company are involved in the production of the film "Spider-Man"...

  Some people said mysteriously that this company is not actually controlled by Weta Company, but that Zhou Yang specially invited talents from Weta Company to help guide...

   Countless revelations made netizens wonder whether it was true or not.

   But they realized one thing...

   That is, Zhou Yang seems to have really disappeared these days!

   Except that Zhou Yang was the screenwriter of "Eavesdropping" which was released on the 15th, Zhou Yang doesn't seem to have any new news.

  Like the "blazer" special effects company.

  Although there is no news about Zhou Yang on the Internet, rumors or revelations have continued!

  【He was suppressed by Hollywood, but he refused to return to China. He still insisted on filming his "Spiderman" in Laomei. I don't know how long he can last...】

  【I heard that Zhou Yang has some financial problems, and there is no money to invest in other projects...】

  【He has encountered a difficult situation. A friend of mine in Laomei said that Zhou Yang's health is worrying. He often stays up late to make movies and has been admitted to the hospital several times...】

  Similar revelations come one after another...

   But there doesn't seem to be any good news here.

  On the evening of March 16th...

  The 80th Academy Awards, the best nominations were announced.

   James Bond's "Jaws" and "Time Travel", two films that reached the top of the world film scene last year, were impressively included in the nomination awards.

In addition to these two films, "Brokeback Mountain", which is currently being screened, has also been nominated for an Academy Award, and the screenwriter J is impressively listed. In addition to the screenwriter J, the Chinese movie star Zhao Zhen was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor nomination.

  After the announcement of the Academy Awards, there was a sensation in the Chinese film circle, and they all said that this year's Oscars was a wonderful night of fighting...

  The major video platforms tried their best to contact the Golden Image Awards after the award company, hoping to get a live broadcast authorization.

   But it's a pity...

  Oscar officials don't seem to be interested in China's video sites, and none of them have any authorization. If they want to watch the live broadcast of the Oscars, filmmakers can only go over the wall, or broadcast live through the text and photos of some enthusiastic overseas netizens.

   "The box office of "The Overheard" premiered at 30 million, and it exploded again!"

"Oh."

   "Mr. Zhou, are you really not going to the Oscars?"

"not going…"

"Mr. Zhou, there is another bad news. The movies exported by our company are the movies shown in Xingyang Overseas Cinemas. All of them are on the street. Xingyang Overseas Cinemas has lost money this quarter, and it has lost a lot. Miao The person in charge of the general manager has begun to feel overwhelmed...Mr. Zhou, do you want to discuss with Mr. Miao to close some theaters?"

   "Let's hold on for a while."

evening.

  Sunset is all over the sky.

   Zhou Yang heard a very bad news on the plane.

  Zhou Yang closed his eyes.

  This year's winter is not cold, but in spring, it is too cold.
