You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 246 Zhou Yang's "gift" to Zhao Sicheng

   Zheng Jun once thought that the most important thing in a movie is investment.

   As long as the investment is in place, nothing else is a problem.

but……

  When he actually got the investment and was ready to shoot, he realized that he was wrong.

   "Struggle" is a one-man movie.

   From the first shot to the last shot, there is only one character from beginning to end.

Therefore, the protagonist must have strong enough acting skills to perfectly reflect the protagonist's extremely intense emotional experience through the big screen. At the same time, he needs sufficient personal charm and charisma, so that he can be imprisoned within 90 minutes. It firmly restrains the nerves of the audience, pressing down on the hearts of the audience like a big rock, making them breathless.

   This is undoubtedly a huge test for casting.

   At the same time, the filming of this film is also very difficult.

  As the director himself, he needs to skillfully use the language of the lens to present a desperate and narrow space under the dim light. The lens cannot be shifted, and the audience cannot have a single aesthetic or even produce visual fatigue.

  These days, he has rummaged through various books at home and abroad, and searched for countless shooting cases, even those underground banned films...

   He was eager to find even a similar movie.

pity……

   No one in the Chinese film industry has made such a film.

  No one in the international film industry has ever made it. There was a similar three-actor dialogue movie, but it was so sloppy that Zheng Jun fell asleep after watching it twice.

   There must be no market for a movie like this. What's the point of making a movie without a market?

  Compared to the problem of borrowing shooting skills, the casting is even more desperate for Zheng Jun.

  The walls in the dormitory are covered with photos of various actors and their representative works.

   He stared at the wall, stared at these actors day and night, substituting them into the movie plot of "Struggle" in different ways.

   Then, unfortunately…

   None of them will do!

   February 26th.

   "Mr. Zhou, I... can't seem to make this movie..." Zheng Jun knocked on Zhou Yang's office with a haggard face.

After    walked into the office, he lowered his head and said this sentence with great pain.

   After saying this, he felt a sense of despair in his heart.

   For the first time in his life, he questioned his shooting ability, and even felt that he overestimated his shooting talent.

   "What's the matter? Sit first, don't stand..."

"it is good."

   Zheng Jun sat down, his hand shaking the script of "Struggling".

   He was disheartened and told all the difficulties he encountered.

After    finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the office.

   Zheng Jun heard the sound of his own heartbeat, and Zheng Jun was overwhelmed by nervousness...

   He didn't look up.

  The more you care about something, the more afraid of losing it, the more afraid that it will be destroyed by yourself and become a joke.

  Invisible pressure pressed on his heart like a boulder.

   "Have you been to the Oscars?"

   Zhou Yang looked at Zheng Jun who lowered his head, and did not answer anything else, but suddenly asked such a question after a long silence.

"what?"

   Zheng Jun raised his head and looked at Zhou Yang, his eyes were a little blank.

He saw Zhou Yang smiling and holding the invitation letter of the Academy Awards and gently touched it: "At the Oscars, there will be many famous movie stars and actresses, when the time comes, you can go to the scene and choose slowly select……"

   Zheng Jun stared blankly at Zhou Yang.

   He opened his mouth, his mind went blank at first, and then he kept repeating Zhou Yang's words.

   His heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

   Then, his eyes widened in disbelief: "Mr. Zhou, this, this... You mean, I, can I go to the Oscars?"

   "Let's pack up, I just need an assistant..."

   "Okay!" Zheng Jun nodded excitedly.

  ………………………………

  Aircraft flying in the clouds.

   Zheng Jun held the script of "Struggling" and stared at the plane window with great excitement.

   This is the first time he has taken a plane to the United States, and it is the first time he has stepped into Hollywood, the world's film palace!

   As a Huaxia director, this is his dream place!

Zhou Yang next to    is looking at the white clouds outside the window, but his heart is surprisingly calm.

   No expectations.

Yes!

   He had absolutely no expectations for this trip to Oscar. He just took it as a way to see the world in the past, and by the way, see what the legendary Oscar looks like...

   As for whether he can win the award, to be honest, Zhou Yang has no hope at all.

   It is highly probable that he ran with him in the past.

   This is a film that exposes the essence of old beauty.

  Some of the content shot in "Chainsaw" is too explicit. Every character seems to be a pair of hands, completely tearing up the old beauty's coat of freedom, peace, and equality, revealing its ugly essence.

Huaxia Media's attitude towards "The Chainsaw" going to the Oscars is very abnormal. In the past, under the control of some invisible forces, a group of media would suppress Zhou Yang in all directions and leave no room for it. I wish Zhou Yang disappeared in the entertainment circle, but this In the past two days, the popularity of "Chainsaw" has been continuously increased, and "Chainsaw" has been praised to the sky. Even Zhou Yang's personal report has been widely publicized, as if Zhou Yang has already won the award...

And those media close to Zhou Yang would invariably use "congratulations" when they wrote about the Oscars ceremony of "The Saw". "The grievances and grievances are not even compared with "Fatal Crisis"...

   Everyone knows that "Fatal Crisis" has a high probability of winning!

  As a white supremacy Oscar, are the judges willing to win a "Chainsaw" that exposes domestic scandals, or another "Fatal Crisis" that flatters white people and wanders in prosperity?

   The answer seems to be self-evident.

   More than ten hours later...

  The plane landed smoothly on the edge of Los Angeles Airport...

   Zhou Yang carried his luggage and took Zheng Jun off the plane.

   The airport in Los Angeles is clear and clear, and the wind blowing not far away is no longer cold and chilling, and seems to be a little warm.

   After Zhou Yang left the airport, he took out his mobile phone and put on an international card.

   He didn't call Christian, but dialed Zhao Sicheng's number immediately.

   "Hello, Director Zhao?"

   "Yes, I'm Zhou Yang, I'm coming to America now, I want to meet you..."

   "Yes, I don't mean anything else, I just want to chat with you today, we all chat calmly..."

   "I'm not free today? Then when are you free? I brought you a present, if it's late, the present will be out of order..."

"Yes, this time I am indeed full of sincerity. You are an American now, and we are not of the same nationality. I thought about it for a long time on the plane just now, and felt that some of the things I said and did are true. It's too out of date, I'm deeply ashamed so I brought a present here and plan to come to see you in person..."

   "I'm very sincere, no, I called you as soon as I got off the plane..."

   "Yes, although I can't guarantee other things, I can guarantee that you will never forget this gift..."

   "Okay, I get it, I'll go to your apartment right now, I won't disturb you for a long time, I'll leave the gift with you, this is a special thought from Director Huang and I..."

  “…”

   Zheng Jun was slightly taken aback after hearing Zhou Yang's call.

   He saw Zhou Yang smiling brightly.

   He was a little dazed.

   He rummaged through his luggage, but couldn't find the so-called gift.

   And Mr. Zhou and Zhao Sicheng...

   seems not to deal with it?

   Could it be because Mr. Zhou knew that "Fatal Crisis" would win an Oscar, and speculated that Zhao Sicheng would most likely become an international famous director in the future, so he came over in advance to eliminate the previous estrangement?

   When thinking of this possibility, Zheng Jun sighed slightly in his heart.

   After calling Zhao Sicheng, Zheng Jun saw Zhou Yang take out his mobile phone again and called Christian.

  Because the airport was quite noisy and Zhou Yang deliberately lowered his voice, Zheng Jun didn't understand what Zhou Yang was talking about, but vaguely felt that Zhou Yang was talking about some topics such as security.

  …………………………

   "Everyone is young and frivolous..."

   "However, people grow up."

   "I suddenly admire Zhou Yang. He has enough talent, and he knows how to bow his head. He understands that this time is different from the past, and he came to me to repair the relationship."

   "Only those who can bend and stretch are worthy of training."

  “…”

   in the apartment.

   Zhao Sicheng smiled happily.

   He sighed a word or two with his wife, then pushed on his glasses, immersed in his identity as an American citizen.

   Judging from the official attitude of the Oscars and Fox Tom's attitude towards himself, the award for "Fatal Crisis" is almost a certainty.

Today is different from the past. When he was a Chinese, he was obedient to everyone, and he had a natural feeling of inferiority, but now when he became an American, he instantly felt that he was a noble and superior person... …

   His future is bright!

After "Fatal Crisis" won the Oscar, the box office of South Korea and R is bound to be even hotter. By then, it will not be a problem for "Fatal Crisis" to break through the total box office of 100 million US dollars. Although the box office is much lower than expected, but At least give Fox an explanation.

at the same time.

   Those overseas investors will also look at him highly and will continue to invest in his new movies...

  The situation is very good.

   When he thought of this, he suddenly felt a little regretful.

  Why didn't you make the decision to come to the United States earlier, but had to guard the nationality of Huaxia?

   "Are you going to forgive him like this?" the wife asked suddenly.

"Of course it's impossible to forgive him like this. Although he understands the situation, it doesn't mean that the disrespect for me was let go so lightly... Of course, I have to see what he can bring to make me unforgettable for the rest of my life. one's gift……"

   "What present will he bring?"

   "I don't know, but it's definitely not cheap." Zhao Sicheng smiled brightly.

Just at this time……

  Ding dong!

   He heard a knock on the door.

  He asked his wife to open the door...

   But then his wife came over and said that Zhou Yang had been standing at the door and refused to come in, saying that he had to go out by himself.

   Zhao Sicheng shook his head, thinking that Zhou Yang was probably nervous.

   He stood up and walked over with a smile.

   "Yo, who am I supposed to be, it turns out to be our director Zhou Da, what's wrong? The sun is coming out from the west today?"

   "Director Zhao..."

   "Yo, yo, yo, I can't bear your voice, Director Zhao, I can't compare to you, you are so powerful at such a young age..."

   "Director Zhao, I came to visit you this time with great sincerity..."

   After Zhao Sicheng saw Zhou Yang lowered his head and his expression was slightly twisted, the irony became deeper: "Yo, how can I be worthy of your sincerity as a big director..."

   "Director Zhao, I brought you a present, can you come over a little bit? I'll give you the present, and I'll leave..."

   "Tsk tsk, what gift is so mysterious..." Although Zhao Sicheng's expression was slightly mocking, he subconsciously leaned over his face, his eyes slightly mocking.

Just at this time……

"Snapped!"

   He could not have dreamed that Zhou Yang, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head and gave him a big mouth.

   There is only one update today, sorry, I will try my best to write tomorrow... It seems to be hot after the massage~
