You Made Me a Superstar Chapter 70

  Chapter 70 The copyright was sold for no reason

   "Sengoku" has a very strong lineup.

There is Zhang Shaolei, a new tough actor in mainland China, Liu Yufei, one of the four little actresses, and Li Keming, a veteran actor from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Even the small roles in the crew are also familiar to China. Jiao Chanping, Zhang Zuoxiang and others .

It stands to reason that if you want to have acting skills and a good-looking crew, you can definitely produce a terrifying chemical reaction. Not only can you blow up various awards in Berlin, overseas copyright sales will soar, and you can go back to China before sweeping away. The box office decline brought by "Tianji" has set a box office record in the film industry, and even once again became the leader of Chinese blockbusters!

   Xu Xiaoming, who was sent to the hospital by Zhou Yang, thinks so, Zhou Yilin thinks so, and even An Xiao thinks so.

However…

   When the gorgeous picture appeared on the screen and the strange protagonist dressed up in front of Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang was dumbfounded.

  The movie is similar to the original "Warring States" in the world, except that the protagonist becomes Pang Juan, and the villain becomes Sun Bin.

   This is a huge sense of subversion.

   Of course, if you shoot this movie from a subversive perspective, it's okay to be able to tell why, but it will even cause a burst of applause.

  It can even become a masterpiece if it is well shot!

But!

  The image of the psychopath-like protagonist and the neurotic emperor in the magnificent imperial palace, dressed in fancy clothes, and shouting in front of all the ministers like a madman made Zhou Yang feel extremely disconnected.

   He felt that he couldn't understand what these nonsense were talking about...

   And the editing of the movie is very problematic. Generally, the movie will start with more or less about the background of the characters in the movie. If it is bad, the identity of this person will be pulled out in the lines.

However, after the plot was released for five minutes, there were about twenty characters that appeared sporadically, and basically every character was an unpopular character that Zhou Yang had never heard of, and the relationship between these unpopular characters made it easy to see In the fog, I didn't know the logical relationship between them at all. Some characters seemed to give enough shots and cards, but Zhou Yang was in a trance for a long time before realizing that this character was a marginal character.

   The first 20 minutes were basically foggy and foggy. I only felt that everyone wore different clothes. I only felt that the pictures and special effects were really gorgeous, and the overall atmosphere was very different…

   After twenty minutes, Sun Bin finally appeared in the movie.

   Then, Sun Bin, played by veteran Hong Kong Island actor Li Keming, looks very wretched. Not only does he have a hunchback, but he deliberately cut his patella in the plot, and then came to frame Pang Juan.

   Zhou Yang looked very divided, and the whole person was almost stunned.

  Although history is written by successful people, Zhou Yang always feels a little different when he deliberately fabricates history in order to create an alternative movie.

   Of course, these are all plots that Zhou Yang can understand.

  When the movie entered the second half, he found himself like a fool.

   Not only can he not understand the dialogues of the characters in the movie, but the plot in the movie is going more and more in a direction that he can't understand.

  There is a love story in this movie, but the love is very inexplicable. Because of a trivial matter, the hero and heroine kissed for no reason, and the kissing time was 30 seconds long, interspersed with a memory that appeared from nowhere.

   Zhou Yang finally understood what Wang Shuai meant by the evaluation of Zhou Yilin as a director.

   At the same time, he was a little dazed.

  Why Zhou Yilin, such a big director as Chen Kai, obviously did a good job in making movies before, but why did they start to make things that people don't understand when they were filming?

From the next to the end of the plot of "Warring States", Zhou Yang was stunned that he did not understand what the movie was talking about. He always felt that the plot of the movie was obscure and difficult to understand. With the suspense left in the last scene, Zhou Yang always felt that Zhou Yilin was scolding himself across the screen!

   scolds himself for not having artistic talent, scolds himself for poor understanding, and scolds himself for not being worthy of sitting in the cinema to watch movies…

  When the lights came on, Zhou Yang, who was dealing with a dazed state, heard a round of applause from the back row.

   "GOOD!"

   "Well shot! This movie is really well shot, a classic!"

   "Fantastic, this is one of the few masterpieces of Chinese movies!"

   Zhou Yang turned his head subconsciously, and found that a large group of people in the back row looked very excited.

   "It's so touching!"

   Is it my problem?

   Maybe, it's really my problem?

   Maybe I don't know how to appreciate…

   Subconsciously, Zhou Yang also applauded.

   The premiere of "Warring States" is over.

   A group of reporters swarmed around Zhou Yilin, blowing wildly at him.

   Zhou Yang and a group of people left the theater.

  Zhang Genshui walked out with Xu Li in his arms...

   "Brother, your purring is too loud, too impolite!"

   "This movie makes me dazzled, I'm sleepy watching it..."

  Xu Li glanced at Zhang Genshui with some anger, while Zhang Genshui shook his head speechlessly.

  Chen Shuangbao and Zhao Zhen also came out. Their expressions were the same as Zhou Yang. They were dazed from beginning to end. After watching the movie, I felt like I didn't watch anything...

perhaps…

   They are a bunch of people without artistic talent.

   "This movie, Director Zhou, what do you think?" Liu Tingting approached Zhou Yang and asked seriously.

   "This movie..." Zhou Yang thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out how to describe this movie.

   "I think it's a bad movie!" Liu Tingting replied, "The people sitting next to me, like extras, started crying for no reason..."

   Zhou Yang never commented on anyone or any movie.

After    left, Zhou Yang didn't talk to anyone about "Warring States".

He only knew that the fans who watched the movie that day gave the movie a high rating, and some people even commented that the movie was a masterpiece that did not lose to "Heroes", saying that he would do it twice, even three times, four times. brush…

   It stands to reason that such a high-rated movie should sell like crazy for the copyright of "Heroes", but the copyright of "Warring States" is not very good.

   Not to mention the comparison with "Hero", that is, it is far worse than some low-budget films at the same film festival!

   After tossing and turning for a long time, in the end, only an Italian filmmaker bought the copyright of "Warring States" at a moderate price.

   Zhou Yang began to understand the world more and more.

   February 24.

   It is only one day before the first screening of "The Bottom of the Mine".

  Wang Shuai took Zhou Yang to the No. 6 screening hall to familiarize himself with the scene. When passing by the screening hall of "Warring States" and seeing a large group of fans rushing to the screening hall to grab a seat, Wang Shuai showed a sneer.

   "Oh, cheating!"

   "Director Wang, what do you mean." Zhou Yang looked at the group of people, and when he saw a few familiar figures among the group of "fans", Zhou Yang suddenly understood.

   "Just a little emotional, let's go." Wang Shuai narrowed his eyes, and then walked towards the No. 6 screening hall.

  The movie "Kardashian's Holiday" is being played in the No. 6 screening hall at this moment.

   This is a pure romantic love feature film, the producer and director want to create a "New Era Charlotte Sally".

  The filming is very good, and the director's level is quite high, even if Zhou Yang does not understand foreign languages, he can understand the plot.

  Unfortunately, this film could not be shortlisted in Berlin. The official opinion given by Berlin is that "love" can indeed be praised, but it is not deep enough, and some are too empty.

  Wang Shuai's expression suddenly became very ugly after seeing this movie.

  The movie came out early without watching the movie for a while.

   "What's the matter, Director Wang?"

   "It suddenly occurred to me that this is an Italian movie!"

"and then?"

  Wang Shuai didn't speak, just looked at Zhou Yang silently.

   Zhou Yang was a little hairy when Wang Shuai stared at him, and then his eyes widened as if thinking of something.

   "Could it be Director Zhou..."

   Could it be that Zhou Yilin squeezed out the time for "The Bottom of the Mine" in private, changed the schedule, and gave the normal time to "The Kardashian Holiday" in exchange for the copyright of the Italian film company?

   "There is a possibility...but not necessarily." A cold light flashed in Wang Shuai's eyes.

   In the evening of February 24th.

   The night before the premiere of The Bottom of the Mine.

  After the second round of screenings, "Warring States" finally sold the copyright in Serbia and the copyright in Berlin, Germany.

   When the assistant told An Xiao the good news, there was no happy expression on An Xiao's face, instead it became colder.

   "Warring States" situation is terrible.

   Worse than expected.

   Not to mention the battle between "Warring States" and "Heroes", and even if it is compared with other niche literary films released, "Warring States" may not be able to compare.

   The overseas data of "Warring States" may be about to hit the street, not to mention the return, it is a good thing to lose a little money.

  An Xiao began to review the investment projects since he started the company to the present.

   The early film "The Bottom of the Mine" was cheated of an investment!

   The box office of the movie "Youth" was okay, but it was only okay, it didn't reach the point of explosion, and it didn't make much money.

   "Warring States"?

   The situation of "Warring States" seems to be much worse than that of "Youth", and the dilemma of this film can be seen from the fact that overseas filmmakers are not very interested in this film.

  It is understandable that domestic stars go overseas and have no box office appeal at all.

In fact, after watching the sample of "Warring States", An Xiao had a feeling that something was not quite right. There were many discrepancies between the sample of "Warring States" and the content of the script. She realized that Zhou Yilin was taking investors' money, Go and let go of yourself to make the movie he wants to make.

Based on Zhou Yilin's brilliant achievements and the trust of the data, An Xiao did not say anything, and although she is the largest investor in this movie, there are actually a lot of scattered investors. She also hopes to rely on this movie. Come to open up overseas markets and train more overseas superstars.

   But data like this from overseas markets appeared in front of An Xiao, and no matter how stupid An Xiao was, she realized that the situation was wrong!

   In two days, only three copyrights were sold!

This!

   "General Manager An..."

"What's wrong?"

   "There is news from China!"

"what news?"

""Flying Against the Wind" was overtaken by "The Girl Who Waving Wings", and, once the song "Meet" was released, it reached the top ten of the new song list in just three hours, and now two songs are on the singles list. It has completely surpassed "Fireworks" and "Meet You"..." Assistant Zhong Tingting excitedly pushed open the door of the hotel and said the news.

   After the news was over, An Xiao, who was originally disappointed, was slightly taken aback.

   Almost at the same time, there was a knock on the door.

   "General Manager An..."

   "Director Zhou, please take a seat, eh? Director Zhou, what are you holding in your hand?"

   "The copyright contract for "The Bottom of the Mine"..."

   "Huh? Isn't the premiere of "The Bottom of the Mine" tomorrow? If it hasn't premiered, how can I sell the copyright?" An Xiao was taken aback.

"I don't know the specifics. When Director Wang and I were hanging out in the exhibition hall just now, I saw a few film dealers who came to the door. I couldn't understand what Director Wang was saying to them, but somehow they gave it to us on the spot. Five buyout agreements, what do you think the price is, is it appropriate?" Zhou Yang put the contract on the table in shock to An Xiao and his assistant, and said these words with a puzzled face.
