You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 214 Contradiction

   Anger was like a wild beast, which briefly engulfed Zhao Sicheng's sanity.

   The strong unwillingness in his heart turned into reality, and he couldn't help clenching his fists. He stared at Zhou Yang, even disregarding his demeanor.

   January next year must be the time for him to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood. It is not only the day when he rose to fame, but also the anniversary of the Chinese director's expansion of overseas films!

   He firmly believed in this sentence, and at the same time, he had paid too much for this day.

   Therefore, he cannot fail, let alone his own failure.

   "Otherwise, we'll be fine in February."

   Zhou Yang's light-hearted, seemingly foolish words echoed in Zhao Sicheng's mind over and over again, and every word felt like a knife pierced into Zhao Sicheng's heart.

   What does he mean?

   He thinks that the film I have prepared so carefully for so many years is not as good as the film he shot in half a month?

   Still feel that he is invincible in the world and feel that he is giving to himself?

   Zhao Sicheng felt that he was not only despised, but also insulted, he stared at Zhou Yang coldly.

  The office suddenly became extremely silent.

   Facing Zhao Sicheng's sudden roar, Zhou Yang was obviously frightened. He looked at Zhao Sicheng with puzzled eyes.

   In addition to being puzzled, I also fell into reflection, wondering if I was wrong...

Gipps looked at Zhao Sicheng, and then at Tom, his face was very ugly, but he was someone who had seen the scene after all, and his ugly expression instantly turned into a kind smile: "Mr. Zhao, I have no other intentions, I just think that the two films of the company collided, in your Huaxia idiom, it is "cannibalism"..."

"Mr. Gipps, I have signed a contract with you. It will be released in January or in January. The filming of "Fatal Crisis" cannot be changed!" Zhao Sicheng realized his gaffe, but the toughness in his heart was not. Support him, so that he refuses to take a half step back.

   He had to fight for the rights of his movie "Fatal Crisis".

  January in the United States is the off-season for movies, and his "Fatal Crisis" can just be killed in the off-season.

   And February is the start of the peak season!

Naturally, he had heard about "Iron Wolf" in February. It was a blockbuster that was not inferior to "Superman". When he hit such a blockbuster, no matter how confident he was in "Fatal Crisis", he knew that he would be overwhelmed. street……

   After working so hard for so long, how could he allow to see his movie fail?

   He cannot fail!

   He shoulders the hope of Huaxia movies, and is also the representative of Huaxia directors to expand their territories overseas. He must fight for himself!

  "..." Gipps, though still smiling, glanced at Tom.

   "Mr. Zhao, let's go down first. We will continue to talk about the schedule. I hope you believe me and I will fight for your corresponding rights..." Tom pulled Zhao Sicheng's clothes.

"Mr. Gipps, if you're afraid of competition, then don't sign Chainsaw. I can guarantee that Fatal Crisis will have more box office revenue than Chainsaw in January. I bet I can earn no money at all!" Zhao Sicheng didn't seem to want to leave after facing Tom's dissuasion. Instead, he stared at Gipps, every word, all of which showed great determination.

  The air in the office suddenly became colder.

  Charlotte Sally sighed slightly when she saw this Chinese director who had lost all his grace and was desperate to prove the value of his films.

"Mr. Zhao, don't be angry, you can talk about this matter slowly, since you want to release it in January..." Gipps still smiled after facing Zhao Sicheng's expression: "Tom, Mr. Zhao is a little tired. Now, take him down to rest first."

"Mr. Gipps, I don't mean anything else, I just hope that the things we talked about before will not change, I apologize to you for my recklessness, please forgive me, I was really angry just now, after all, I am for "Fatal Crisis" Giving too much..." After hearing Gipps' reply, Zhao Sicheng's originally firm eyes relaxed a little, and then a trace of apology flashed on his face.

"Understood, Mr. Zhao, you are a person who loves movies very much. I believe that Tom cooperated with you because of this. Well, you are too tired recently. Go down and rest first." Gipps faced Zhao Sicheng's apology still kept a smile.

   His voice is very gentle, like a spring breeze, even giving people a warm feeling.

   "Yeah." Zhao Sicheng nodded, then left the office with Tom.

when it is time to leave……

   He glanced coldly at Zhou Yang from the corner of his eye, as if he had made up his mind.

   Zhou Yang was stared at by Zhao Sicheng, and he felt speechless.

   He has no deep hatred with Zhao Sicheng. Strictly speaking, since that meeting, Zhao Sicheng has been targeting him.

   He naturally knew that his "Chainsaw" most likely touched Zhao Sicheng's cake...

   But this cake is very big, Zhao Sicheng can never eat it alone, without him Zhou Yang, there will be others too.

   "Mr. Zhou Yang, let's go too, we don't have to sign the contract anymore." Charlotte Sally suddenly looked at Zhou Yang with a smile.

   Zhou Yang was taken aback.

   Gipps was also stunned for a moment, then looked at Charlotte Sally: "Ms. Sally, are you dissatisfied with our Fox?"

"Sorry, Mr. Gipps, we are friends, we were friends in the past, and we will be good friends in the future... I don't want you to disrupt your previous plans because of the movie "Chainsaw", and I don't want to see Zhou Mr. Yang and this Huaxia director have a competitive relationship in resources in the same company..." Charlotte Saily laughed.

"what?"

   "Mr. Zhou Yang, let's go..."

  …………………………

   "Mr. Zhao, you are too reckless. Mr. Gipps is a man with a strong desire to control. He does not want anyone to challenge his authority in front of guests. You once made him unable to step down."

   "Sorry, but Tom, I have reasons to hold on to myself."

   After leaving the office, Zhao Sicheng heard Tom sigh and said this to himself.

   Zhao Sicheng naturally knew that he was too reckless and did not control his emotions, and he knew that he would make Gipps unhappy because of this.

   But he has no regrets. He needs to prove himself in Hollywood, and to prove himself, he only needs a movie. He must become famous in battle.

  The United States is a commercial country. As long as it has value, it doesn't matter if you even scold him in front of Mr. Fox.

   "I understand your mentality of sacrificing and desperate for the movie." Tom said this after seeing Zhao Sicheng's expression.

   While the two were chatting, the door to Gipps' office opened.

  Gipps walked out with a smile on his face, sent Charlotte Celie and Zhou Yang to the elevator, and then waved at them.

  When he saw the two leave, he turned around and walked towards Zhao Sicheng and Tom.

   "Mr. Zhao..."

   "Mr. Gipps."

   "I trust Tom's vision, and I also trust your talent. I apologize for changing the schedule without your consent before..." Gipps looked at Zhao Sicheng, his eyes full of busy sincerity, showing very kindness.

   "Ah, Mr. Gipps, I was just impulsive." Facing Gipps' sudden apology, Zhao Sicheng suddenly had some indescribable fear and shame, and he lowered his head subconsciously.

"It's okay, it's normal for talented people to be impulsive. We didn't sign "Chainsaw". At the same time, I will give feedback to the top management and leave most of the schedule in January to your "Fatal Crisis", and let the company focus on promoting this. Movie..." Gipps patted Zhao Sicheng on the shoulder and said seriously.

   "Ah, this, thank you so much..."

"But..." Gipps looked at Zhao Sicheng: "Because of this decision, I also carry a lot of risks, so I will sign a sharing contract with you. If the box office of "Fatal Crisis" can reach 100 million US dollars, you will share the corresponding share. I won't lose a penny, if not a hundred million dollars..."

   "I don't want a penny!" Zhao Sicheng clenched his fist and nodded.

   "Haha!" Gipps laughed, and then asked Tom to draw up a contract.

  Tom looked at Gipps, and then looked at Zhao Sicheng, who was so excited that he almost wanted to worship Gipps.

  Tom didn't have a smile on his face. Instead of a smile, he was full of complicated emotions that couldn't be described.

   He didn't believe that Gipps would suddenly give up "Chainsaw" because of Zhao Sicheng's few words, and he didn't think Gipps really liked Zhao Sicheng's talent...

   After signing the contract, Tom finally couldn't help reminding Zhao Sicheng after leaving the Gipps office.

   "Mr. Zhao..."

   "Mr. Tom, what's the matter?"

   "The box office of "Fatal Crisis" must exceed 100 million, and it must be suppressed by "Chainsaw". If it can create a sensation, it will be better otherwise..."

   "Otherwise what?"

   "It's fine." Tom shook his head.

   "The big deal is that all these years of hard work are in vain, I'm fine."

   "Come on!" Tom looked at Zhao Sicheng's optimistic appearance and stopped talking.

  ……………………

  Charlotte Sally's position in the film industry is still scary.

After    left Fox, Charlotte Sally took Zhou Yang to Warner Bros.

   Zhou Yang saw that Andrew, the general manager of Warner's distribution department, greeted Charlotte Celie on the first floor in person. When he saw Charlotte Celie, he hugged her with an extraordinarily enthusiastic expression.

The signing of the distribution contract was very smooth, and the treatment was no different from that of local Hollywood movies. He even deliberately remarked a high box-office split in the funding of "Chainsaw", and promised that in January Warner's film business would only be responsible for "The Chainsaw". The Chainsaw movie...

   Zhou Yang signed the contract smoothly here, and while waiting for the release, the Chinese film circle ushered in the darkest moment...
