You Made Me a Superstar Chapter 568

  Chapter 568 Wolverine!

   July 4th, early morning.

  The night is lingering, and the sky is full of stars.

  Zhou Yang woke up from his sleep, and wanted to fall back to sleep again, but found that he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

  When filming "Spider-Man", he turned his day and night upside down. After filming, he couldn't tell when it was morning and when it was night.

  Take out your phone and check the time, it happens to be around one o'clock.

   There was a text message in the mobile phone, which was sent by An Xiao. In addition to telling Zhou Yang to pay attention to rest, he also asked Zhou Yang when he would come back.

   During the period when "Spider-Man" was released, Zhou Yang and An Xiao kept in touch every day, but it was only a simple contact through text messages.

The Olympic Games are getting closer and closer. In addition to many foreign athletes who have come to familiarize themselves with the Chinese arena in advance, several world-renowned singers have also been invited to China to help out for the opening ceremony of the Chinese Olympic Games. The rehearsals are in full swing. An Xiao and others Some staff members also started to get busy.

  What promotional video, what stage, what scene special effects...

  As the most grand event in China and very likely to be recorded in history, the official will naturally not be sloppy.

   "Come back before the Olympics..."

   Zhou Yang read the text message and felt a little warm. After expressing a strong sense of concern, he finally responded with this sentence.

  After replying to the text message, Zhou Yang stretched his waist, just in time to see the stars in the distant sky, and suddenly recalled the scene when he first met An Xiao in his heart.

  Thinking about it, he smirked unconsciously, and then felt a little emotional. Unexpectedly, time flies so fast, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye.

  Vaguely…

Zhou Yang still remembers that An Xiao told him a series of words about cultural invasion and cultural war very seriously. Zhou Yang, who was not enlightened at the time, was a little dazed. He felt that these things were too far away from him, and he had never thought about them. It has nothing to do with me, but now that I think about it carefully, these things are very close to me.

  After the short memory was over, Zhou Yang got up from the bed, got dressed and walked towards the office next door.

  The office next door is Xu Mei's office.

  Xu Mei has been staying up until three or four in the morning for the past few days, and then goes back to sleep after the box office statistics of "Spider-Man" are calculated.

At first, it was because the movie "Spider-Man" was related to Huaxing's follow-up survival. Later, when "Spider-Man" performed well in China, Xu Mei wanted to witness with her own eyes that the movie "Spider-Man" could go well. How far, especially yesterday, after George Lusek bought the North American screening rights of "Spider-Man", Xu Mei's originally excited interest became even more excited.

In Lao America, "Spider-Man" couldn't compete with "King Kong Tiger" for a while, but in North America, "Spider-Man" has not much fewer films than "King Kong Tiger", and the response after "King Kong Tiger" was not as strong as expected , but "Spider-Man" has a very high audience cohesion. After watching it, almost 70% of the audience praised it, which inevitably made Xu Mei place great hopes.

"Wow!"

   As soon as Zhou Yang came to the office next door, he heard bursts of excited voices, and then Zhou Yang heard the sound of high heels.

   "President Zhou, are you awake?"

"Ok."

   "Mr. Zhou, our North American box office grossed $8 million! The premiere grossed $8 million, which is not much worse than "King Kong Tiger". Tomorrow we will have more films, and we are really going to explode!"

  Xu Mei's excited voice shook Zhou Yang's eardrums.

   Zhou Yang nodded.

  Although she was also happy in her heart, her face remained calm, telling Xu Mei to take a good rest.

  Xu Mei nodded desperately, but she didn't intend to take a break. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and kept calling everyone in the main creative team.

   Zhou Yang didn't say much when he saw this. On the way to his office, he began to recall the plan for the next "superhero" movie in his mind.

Regarding superhero movies, Zhou Yang has a lot in his mind. There are many superhero names that are familiar to him. He didn't know which one to choose for a while. Just in deep thought, he saw the information about "King Kong Tiger" on the table. .

   He narrowed his eyes.

  DV company.

  For Tony Auman, tonight's night is really too long.

   A few days ago, he who was once ambitious, felt a sense of humiliation today.

  Yesterday, the box office of "King Kong" in North America was extremely unsatisfactory, only 12 million US dollars.

  12 million U.S. dollars, the box office in North America excluding the United States, this figure is not bad, and it is even the result of a blockbuster blockbuster.

  However, if this movie is "King Kong Tiger", then it is indeed not enough to watch...

   "King Kong Tiger" comics were born in the 1980s. When the comics were born, they were once popular all over the world and had countless fans.

  The DV company attached great importance to the manga adaptation project of "King Kong Tiger", and at one point even invited the comic creators of "King Kong Tiger" to supervise the production.

   But comics can be drawn well and can make manga fans mesmerized, but mangadapted movies have not become a blockbuster like comics, or in other words, the explosion is not complete, and it has not bombed the world!

  【I feel no sense of expectation! 】

  【The plot seems to be no different from Superman, the scene is big enough, but after watching it, I can't remember it】

  【The hero and heroine are not well chosen...】

  He read the comments with the lowest ratings on the "American Film Network", but after reading it, he still felt at a loss.

  The comic adaptation of "King Kong Tiger" respects the original work, and the plot is almost the same as the original work.

  【Unfortunately, if there is no "Spiderman", "King Kong Tiger" should become a hit, right? My companion has been bragging how good "Spiderman" is, how good it is, I don't even have the heart to watch "King Kong"...].

  When I saw this comment...

  Tony Auman gritted his teeth.

  He couldn't figure out why "Spider-Man" could still survive under such pressure from Hollywood...

This is a film that has no basis in comics, and it happens to be another similar "Lizard Man" hit the market, and encountered a financial storm. Everyone's interest in superhero movies has reached a freezing point, and it was almost blocked by Hollywood. Not even Spider-Man is on MovieNet!

  All the unfavorable conditions are gathered in one point, but this movie is still popular!

"Why is that!"

office.

The bloodshot Tony Auman thought of the Chinese man named Zhao Sicheng who found him a few days ago, and kept saying that Zhou Yang must completely crush him to death, otherwise if there is even the slightest chance, he will counterattack...

  At that time, Tony Auman felt that Zhao Sicheng was making a big fuss.

   And now...

  Tony Auman closed his eyes.

   A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door in the office.

   Afterwards, Dila, the person in charge of the external marketing department of the DV company, walked in through the door with a gloomy face.

   "FUCK, what can I do? What else can I do? Is "King Kong" not enough for you guys? Before it's released, let's see how popular "Spiderman" is, and how popular our "King Kong" is!"

   "Why are the results not satisfactory? Now the investors have a lot of opinions, and the boss has even more opinions. Just now, he scolded me for four or five hours. Tell me, Mr. Tony Auman, what did you do?"

   "This is the movie that our DV company hopes for the most! How could the performance in North America be like this!"

  Tony Auman was scolded bloody.

   "King Kong Tiger" is actually not that bad.

  It has been a week since it was released on June 28 to today, July 4.

  The total box office in North America has reached 140 million US dollars. The king of horror films, James Bunter's "Jaws" did not even reach this level!

However…

  The high-level expectation of the DV company for "King Kong Tiger" is actually to exceed 200 million US dollars within a week!

   Of course, this is not the most important...

  The most important thing is that, with the movie "Spider-Man" as a reference, the box office of "Spider-Man", a movie without any resources, is still rising steadily.

  The executives of the DV company felt an unprecedented sense of provocation and crisis, and naturally lost control of their emotions.

  Dilla was tired of cursing.

   Finally stopped cursing.

   Afterwards, in the office, the two began to discuss how to deal with the follow-up of "King Kong Tiger".

   This discussion went straight to dawn!

  After dawn, the exhausted and groggy Tony Auman finally couldn't stand it anymore and went home to sleep.

  After this sleep, I woke up until evening.

  In the evening, when he was in a daze, he was awakened by a phone call.

   The call was from Dila.

  The phone call is very simple, I just hope he can come to the company.

  Tony Auman frowned.

  On weekdays, Dila would not call him at this time for no reason, and Dila's voice on the phone seemed to be full of anger, which made Tony Auman have bad thoughts in an instant.

   After answering the phone, he hurried back to the DV company.

When he came to the DV company, all the staff looked at him strangely. The executive who had a good relationship with him even teased him. Go in first, be sure to restrain your emotions.

  He pushed open the door of the conference room.

meeting room.

  The main creative team of "King Kong Tiger" and even the legal team of the DV company are here...

  After seeing Tony Auman coming, everyone nodded. Under everyone's eyes, Dila turned on the projector and played a video...

  The video is a sporadic fragment of Zhou Yang's interview. It comes from Delaware, an official promotional video of a company called the Delaware Freedom and Democrats.

   "Next movie, we're going to do The Wolverine!"

  Tony Auman's first sentence, he heard Zhou Yang speak to the camera in not-so-pure English.

  Tony Auman was stunned when he heard the name "Wolverine".

   "WHAT?"
