You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 187 The prelude kicks off!

   "Patting the table, showing no respect and arrogance!"

   "The story behind the success of "The Bottom of the Mine", after the chicken soup of the little people's counterattack, there are many hidden talents of the predecessors..."

   "The new-generation director Zhou Yang openly provokes the older-generation directors, claiming to disagree with their actions..."

   "The Huaxia Directors' Guild Plan" was declared bankrupt due to the opposition of two young directors. Which is more important, the interests or the pattern? Young people can't just get into the eyes of money..."

   "Zhou Yilin: Young people are too impetuous. Only by guarding against impatience and arrogance can great things happen!"

"Director Cao Bangguo: I admire Xiao Zhou's talent, but after this meeting, I am very worried about Xiao Zhou's future. The people who can really stay in this circle for a long time are the kind of people who can endure and endure. People who can live with loneliness always love to show their maverick in everything and show their own way, contradicting the older generation, and those who only focus on the interests in front of them have been short-lived since ancient times..."

   "Django: I don't agree with Zhou Yang's talent. In my opinion, Zhou Yang achieved such great results with the help of his predecessors. Otherwise, how could he stand on the award stage in Berlin alone?"

  “…”

   After the meeting, the media headed by "Southern Evening News" and "Kyoto Morning Post" immediately began to report part of the meeting with a large banner interface.

   Many veteran directors jumped out at the first time, and from various channels, began to openly and secretly question Zhou Yang's award in Berlin, as well as Zhou Yang's personal directing level.

Every word of    is like a sharp blade shining with cold light, as if to tear Zhou Yang's image to pieces.

In addition, all kinds of slanderous public opinions came from all directions on the Internet for the first time. One piece of so-called evidence was cited, and it was overwhelmingly pressing on Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang's image collapsed into **** in an instant. Looking at the past, almost all kinds of accusations against Zhou Yang...

   Veteran directors are questioning Zhou Yang, and the new generation directors headed by Django even directly tear up their faces, dissing Zhou Yang crazily in various channels, and can't wait to nail Zhou Yang to the pillar of shame forever!

   It is even a shame that Zhou Yang is the "six generations of directors" of the new generation!

   Zhou Yang was scolded bloody, and Feng Kai's life was even more difficult. All kinds of black materials in the past were exposed. I don't know if it's true or not.

   Not long after returning to the cast of "Jin Yiwei", Feng Kai received countless calls from investors...

   Investors have asked to change the director. If the director is not changed, the investment will be withdrawn, and the "Jin Yiwei" that has been shot half of the film will be wasted.

  The actors in the "Jin Yiwei" crew also began to state Feng Kai's various actions during filming in various public occasions, claiming that Feng Kai did not understand filming at all...

  Associate director Xu Hongbing even openly declared that Feng Kai came to the top through his relationship. He should have been the director of "Jin Yiwei", but he was temporarily replaced by Feng Kai.

"Feng Kai, after he got the directorship, he never thanked anyone. Instead, he secretly scolded Wang Shuai and Director Wang for arranging such a bird crew for him. He even called Director Wang a **** when he was drunk once... Why did you work so hard to film "The Crow" for him, but this treatment turned out to be so underestimating him!" Facing the camera and interviewing reporters who heard the news, Xu Hongbing looked serious, as if he was Like the parties, they restored the dialogue at that time almost word for word.

  Feng Kai was furious…

   He angrily denounced Xu Hongbing's nonsense in front of reporters. Seeing Xu Hongbing gloating in misfortune, his lungs exploded with anger, and he couldn't help clenching his fists.

Before he did anything, he was accused by Xu Hongbing that Feng Kai had violent tendencies, saying that Feng Kai treated all actors like this in the crew and many actors were slapped by Feng Kai because of a scene that was not well shot. The actor even suffered from depression because of it.

Feng Kai's clarification not only had no effect, on the contrary, it attracted several young actors and heroines in the crew to jump out and reversed the black and white of the platform's deputy director Xu Hongbing, saying that everything was true, and the starring Zou Qi also got in several times because of this. In the second hospital, there were even some thoughts of suicide.

  ………………

   October 18th.

   Feng Kai sat on a chair in the crew office, smoking a cigarette silently.

   His eyes were blood red.

   After reading the various warnings from the investors, Feng Kai only felt various dry emotions surging in the depths of his throat.

   In fact, he didn't sleep last night, and he has been reflecting on the various things he had done before.

  I felt annoyed, regretted, felt that I was too young and frivolous and wanted to slap myself hard, and even hated myself for being irrational.

  The power of the older generation of directors is deeply ingrained. If these new generation directors want to have the right to speak, they have to rely on the directors of the older generation. After they really stand on their heels, they can do something and change something.

   He should keep a low profile, and even if he has something in his heart, he should hold back and endure it.

   A candle in the wind just lit will not last long.

   It really becomes a fire, a forest fire, and only by the wind can it burn more and more prosperously.

   And now…

   He lost a crushing defeat before he even started!

   He suddenly felt that Zhou Yang was like his nemesis. When he didn't meet Zhou Yang before, he was so happy. Although he couldn't compare to Django, he was also one of the most promising directors after Django.

  Join the circle, slowly build up your qualifications, and wait for those five generations of directors to gradually step down, then take control of the right to speak, step by step to gain a firm foothold in the director circle, and become an old man in the director circle...

  When he met Zhou Yang, he found that his predetermined destiny seemed to be at a fork in the road. He gradually turned away from the road he had traveled, and began to walk on a dark and deep road.

   But when he looked back again, he suddenly felt that he had nothing to regret.

   A lot of words, a lot of things, he actually always wanted to do.

Eight in the morning.

   Assistant director Zhou Wei knocked on the door and walked into the office.

   "Director Feng..."

"What's wrong?"

"The investor withdrew its capital, and the lead actor Zou Qi couldn't leave the crew because of the contract, but he began to disagree, saying all kinds of weird things in front of reporters every day, and the assistant director Xu Hongbing and some actors were arguing about changing directors. Although Brother Entertainment, the production company behind it, has not made any decisions, the executives are still quite angry. I heard that they are considering changing directors..." Zhou Wei lowered his head, and after reporting everything to Feng Kai, he only saw Feng Kai. Nodding, then waving...

   After Zhou Wei left, Feng Kai knew that the crew of "Jin Yi Wei" was about to fall apart.

   He laughed suddenly.

   "Still too young..."

   He shook his head, his smile was somewhat self-deprecating, somewhat helpless, and more of a sigh.

Just at this time…

   He got a call.

   "Director Feng?"

   "Director Zhou..."

   "I heard about your situation." Zhou Yang said unhurriedly on the other end of the phone.

   "Hey, why do you think our brains are so hot that our arms can't twist our thighs..." Feng Kai didn't blame Zhou Yang much, but felt that the two sides felt a little bit like brothers and sisters.

   "Is the total investment of "Jin Yiwei" seven million?"

   "Yes, what's wrong? Now that 4 million has been withdrawn, Brother Entertainment, the project sponsor, is expected to change the project..."

   "Director Feng, what do you think of the script of "Jin Yi Wei"?"

   "The script is not bad. Director Wang has seen it, and there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that the actors who are plugged by the investor are really..."

   "Director Feng, do you remember when we filmed "The Bottom of the Mine"?"

   "Of course I remember, I will never forget it in this life..." Feng Kai smiled bitterly.

  How can you forget!

  Feng Kai has been reciting all the way since "The Bottom of the Mine" for more than a year. Judging from this situation, he has to be even more unlucky.

"Investment is not a problem at all. When we were filming "The Bottom of the Mine", didn't we all come here from nothing? Why can't we start from scratch again? I believe in your ability, really, "The Bottom of the Mine" is really not me One person's credit, without your participation, "The Bottom of the Mine" is really difficult to complete..." Zhou Yang said this sentence on the phone.

"Zhou Yang, I feel like you are a different person all of a sudden. You seem to have become very confident. At the same time, you have become too unfamiliar to me. I really don't get used to your sudden change..." Feng Kai After feeling Zhou Yang's calm voice, he finally said this sentence.

"Director Feng, I'm not panicking, I'm stating a fact. I firmly believe in this fact. In fact, we are much better than before. In the past, I didn't have a penny... Such difficult days have come, why can't I be more confident now?" On the phone, Zhou Yang seemed to have drunk a little bit of alcohol, and his emotions were not high, but full of indescribable power.

"Zhou Yang, you're right! Anyway, nothing can be worse than this!" Feng Kai, who fell into a slump, found that he was more or less infected by this kind of power, and his mood was not so depressed. Take a deep breath.

"Director Feng, if you are free now, come to Huaxing, bring the detailed information of "Jin Yiwei", let's talk about the movie together, and then talk about the future situation. Zhang Genshui is also here. The movie is very interesting…”

   After Zhou Yang finished saying these words, Feng Kai suddenly heard a series of scolding voices on the other end of the phone.

   "Seven million investment is a piece of shit! I invested all of this Jin Weiwei... Damn, my brother can still be bullied by others..."

   "Director Zhou, tell me, what should we do? The money is in the bank, and we can't have children. Sooner or later, inflation will blow through..."

   "Come on, Director Zhou, let's have another drink. We won't be mad at these bird directors. Let's shoot it ourselves. If you don't have enough money, tell me, it's a big deal. I'll sell houses and cars..."

   "Anyway...I have nothing left to lose!"

   "Mr. Zhou, I think you are the great director. What about Zhou Yilin, whoever wants to watch the bird things he shoots, I never watch it anyway!"
