You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 226 Conflict

   Zhang Jianguo walked in with a smile on his face.

   He naturally felt the strange atmosphere of this large conference room.

   But he didn't care, he acted as the host, and after saying hello to everyone, he started talking about today's theme.

The projector behind    projected the policy arrangements and statistics from last year.

   The data is pretty ugly.

   The box office of China's local movies has been crushed by various overseas blockbusters. Even if there is a movie like "Hero" that can hold the trip, it can't stop the embarrassing 20% ​​box office ratio.

   This data is like a fig leaf, it completely ripped off all the face of Chinese local movies, and the shame is down to the core.

"Our film market in China is developing rapidly. In the past three years, it has received more and more attention from Europe and the United States. With the friendly exchanges and communication between the two countries' economies, I have a hunch that this market will change in the next three years. of course, the trials and challenges that come with us will also be more severe..."

   "We will import 20 films this year, which is double the number of last year. It will inevitably squeeze the living space of some domestic films..."

   "Here I would like to thank Zhao Sicheng, Director Zhao. Among the twenty films this year, the first one to be released is "Fatal Crisis". Although it is not our local film, it is of great significance..."

  “…”

   There was thunderous applause in the conference room.

  Zhao Sicheng stood up, smiled brightly, said something like "It's everyone's support", and thanked the relevant departments of Huaxia.

   Zhou Yang also applauded.

   After Zhang Jianguo finished talking about Zhao Sicheng, he talked about Zhou Yang again.

"At the same time, Director Zhou Yang and Zhou's "The Chainsaw" is also among the projects we introduced. This film set off a storm in the United States, although the content... um, in short, whether it can be successfully introduced depends on Director Zhou. It depends on the editing of the movie "Chainsaw". After all, the content of it... Of course, in any case, I am very grateful to Director Zhou for playing another piece of the sky for our Chinese director overseas, and even more grateful to Director Zhou for participating At this meeting, I hope Mr. Zhou Yang can give more opinions, and at the same time..." Zhang Jianguo took the lead in applauding after he finished speaking.

   However, the applause was fragmented. Several young directors, like Django and William Song, looked at Zhou Yang coldly from beginning to end.

   Zhou Yang didn't care, he stood up and smiled naively at Zhang Jianguo.

   When he sat down, Zhou Yang vaguely heard a "hush" that came from nowhere.

   Meetings of relevant departments are always long and boring.

When Zhang Jianguo started to read the instructions of the leaders and some mandarin words such as his expectations for the future, Zhou Yang's brain was confused. Many things sounded very reasonable, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt as if he didn't say anything... …

   After finally waiting for Zhang Jianguo to finish a series of words, the meeting finally got to the point.

Zhang Jianguo came up with a plan and report. The report was full of support policies for Chinese blockbusters. In addition to some support policies, the report also focused on the appropriate opening of some standards for Chinese films, synchronizing with imported films and no longer It is as tight as before. At the same time, in principle, on the premise of not violating discipline and not committing crimes, the relevant departments of Huaxia encourage directors to make more movies and make movies with positive energy.

   After saying this sentence, he won a burst of warm applause.

   But after the applause, when the shooting standards were released, and when the Chinese authorities announced that some directors who had been banned from directing would be released, the faces of some directors changed!

"Zhang Ke, I oppose this proposal!" Director Cao Bangguo stood up and looked at Zhang Jianguo for the first time: "What are those directors who have been banned from directing, they all shot some messy things and went abroad to participate in the exhibition... Many movies have three wrong views, and this is a complete traitor during the anti-Japanese period!"

   "Director Cao, we will lift the ban in order. Not all directors will lift the ban. We will focus on reviewing their new works..." Zhang Jianguo laughed.

"Some people's butts are crooked, and it is useless to review them. Moreover, Zhang Ke, the banned directors, were all submitted by our Directors Association. At the same time, there are real-name reports from the general public. These directors are full of bad deeds, and many The directors have not been systematically trained, making movies is completely whimsical, they are the cancer of the Chinese film industry, I do not agree with lifting the ban on them!" Cao Bangguo shook his head.

   After he shook his head, Zhao Sicheng and the directors also stood up and denied it together.

Zhou Yilin watched from the side. When he saw that the atmosphere was a little weird and Zhang Jianguo was a little speechless in his seat, he subconsciously stood up and looked at the directors with a smile on his face: "Director Cao, don't be so excited, Let’s give them some opportunities to make corrections, so, Zhang Ke, our association will carefully consider it, and we will conduct a preliminary review first, and then submit the review list to you, what do you think?”

   "The lifting of the ban means the above..." Zhang Jianguo shook his head after seeing Zhou Yilin's smile, his voice was quite helpless.

"Well, Zhang Ke's work is difficult, we understand, so, Zhang Ke, over there, we will actively respond, so let's vote on this matter first, what do you think? After all, we all hope Huaxia Movies is booming, only when this pond is big can the fish in it swim happily..." Zhou Yilin continued to laugh happily.

   "Yes." Zhang Jianguo nodded.

   Voting began soon.

   In a huge conference room.

   Only a few of them agreed with the lifting of the ban, and the rest of the directors shook their heads.

   "If the wrongdoer is forgiven so easily, what's the use of the police..."

   "Yeah, these laymen who make movies indiscriminately can make movies casually, aren't they being laughed at by the big international directors in Europe and America?"

   "That's right! If you make a mistake, the punishment will be harsher. You can't be lifted so easily!"

   "Yes, no..."

   "I think we should review the works of those directors and investigate their backgrounds. I suspect that they are controlled by foreign forces!"

"right."

   "I think the director needs to be verified!"

   "Yes, it must be investigated clearly, and then it will be reviewed by a specialized agency before taking up the post with a certificate..."

   There was a loud noise in the conference room.

   Zhou Yang watched everything from the side.

   He put away his smile, and narrowed his eyes as he watched the directors express their opinions, and even continued to mention the fact that the director should hold a special director's certificate to make a movie.

   After reading it, he glanced at Wang Shuai.

   Seeing Wang Shuai sitting next to him, he happily lit a cigarette and smoked, as if he was watching something lively.

   then took another look at Huang Jiacheng.

   Huang Jiacheng is playing with his mobile phone with his head down, like an outsider.

   Zhou Yang withdrew his gaze.

   was silent for a long time, then put on his coat amid the noise, and tucked the chair into the edge of the seat and stood up.

   Wang Shuai, who was smoking, looked at Zhou Yang in surprise.

   Huang Jiacheng also put down his phone and looked at Zhou Yang's abnormal behavior.

   "Zhang Ke, I have something to do, I'll go back first, you guys continue the meeting."

   Zhou Yang showed a naive smile and said this.

   The noise stopped completely at this moment.

  Everyone stared at Zhou Yang.

   "Director Zhou, you are..." Zhang Jianguo looked at Zhou Yang in a daze, his eyes a little stunned.

"All the people present are seniors. As a layman, I really can't understand the professional terminology of the seniors. I have a lot to learn, and the foresight of the seniors has made me fall into the ground, especially the seniors' determination to maintain Huaxia Films. I admire him from the bottom of my heart, I am still quite self-aware, a director like me who has not even studied Yan Ying for a long time, I think if I listen to it any more, I am not worthy of carrying a camera..." Zhou Yang continued. Showing a silly smile.

   "What do you mean! Zhou Yang, what do you mean by your yin-yang attitude?"

   Zhou Yang had just finished speaking, and Song William, who was sitting behind him for a long time, abruptly stood up and stared at Zhou Yang fiercely.

"Director Song, I don't mean anything, I'm just telling the truth, where did the yin and yang qi come from..." Zhou Yang smiled slyly afterward: "Am I sitting here, even telling the truth and expressing my innermost thoughts? Can't you? You have to deprive me of my right to speak?"

   "Boom!"

   As soon as Zhou Yang's words fell, he was instantly heard a slap on the table.

   "Zhou Yang! What do you mean inside and outside of your words? Do you think we are here to cover the sky with our hands and prevent you from speaking? Or are you metaphorical for something?" Zhao Sicheng's face changed greatly, and he stood up suddenly.

  The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became very cold.

Zhou Yang put away his smile, but he was not timid, but looked directly at Zhao Sicheng, his expression neither humble nor arrogant, and his voice was even more gentle: "Director Zhao, I found that you like Lenovo very much... I just said something, that is, I want to leave. That's all, it really doesn't mean anything else, and I didn't say you mean to cover the sky with your hands, you talk about you, I'll leave with mine, this is not a conflict at all, don't I want to stay here and applaud you , said that Director Zhao is amazing, and Director Zhao is simply a role model for Chinese directors?"

   "You, you..." Zhao Sicheng blushed and panted heavily. He never imagined that Zhou Yang would choke him like that.

  Wang Shuai became more and more surprised after facing Zhou Yang's expression.

   He found that every time he saw Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang seemed to be different from before.

   After Zhou Yang finished speaking, he shrugged and turned to leave.

At this moment, a figure stood up: "Stop! Do you really think you are a scallion? A director who only knows how to hype, what qualifications do you have to speak up in front of your predecessors? It is a fluke that a movie has a little box office in the United States, and you will I think you are..."

Before the figure could finish speaking, he felt a pat on the shoulder, he turned his head abruptly, but saw a smile in his eyes: "Okay, Xiao Song, you are almost listening, the next The content may be a bit deep for you, you don't understand, go out first..."

   "Director Huang, don't, it hurts, it hurts..."

  Song William was suddenly grabbed by the shoulders. He wanted to resist, but saw that his shoulders were stuck and hurt. Then he found that his heels were lifted off the ground by Huang Jiacheng on the spot.

   "Boom"

The door was slammed shut by Huang Jiacheng.

  In the conference room.

   Zhao Sicheng, Cao Bangguo and others stared at Huang Jiacheng with a cold expression.

"It's really rude for adults to talk and children to interrupt, but it's a lot quieter now..." Huang Jiacheng laughed, and then patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder: "Xiao Zhou, Director Zhao is a cultural person, and cultural people like it. Think about it, some literati even have persecution paranoia..."
