You Made Me a Superstar

  Chapter 570 Today is different from the past

   "Don't squeeze everyone, our storm comics company just opened, and currently only the first comic of "Spider-Man"..."

"Yes, the first picture is Peter Wang being bitten by a spider. It was filmed in the movie. However, there are some discrepancies between the comics and the movie. The world of "Spider-Man" in the comics is bigger than in the movie, and there will be more characters... "

   "Currently, we update a painting about once a week. We made a very simple comic website..."

"In addition to superhero comics such as "Spiderman" and "Wolverine", there are other comics on the comic website. We welcome everyone to come and contribute. If the number of hits and readings on the Internet is good, we will consider publishing it, or It was adapted into a movie by Huaxing’s famous director and screenwriter, and put on the big screen..."

   "Everyone, don't squeeze. Currently there is only the first drawing of "Spider-Man". However, the manga and animation of "Slam Dunk" are already being produced simultaneously. The animation version will be premiered exclusively on the Soku video website..."

   "..."

   With an old classmate like Zhou Yang, the general feeling is pain and happiness.

  On the Monday after Zhou Yang's video speech, Zhang Xiaoya had just installed the "Storm Anime" sign when she saw a large group of people surrounding her.

  With experience as a reporter in the entertainment industry, Zhang Xiaoya was not very nervous when faced with the sudden arrival of netizens and fans. She calmly talked a lot about the plans for "Storm Animation" among the crowd.

  But answering the questions of the onlookers over and over again still made Zhang Xiaoya feel very tired.

  Busy until noon, and finally waited for the people to disperse a little bit, she reluctantly sat on the chair and took a sip of water.

   "I didn't expect so many people to come all of a sudden, Mr. Zhang, your English is really good..." Next to it, Liu Qing, the manuscript director of the comics department who just came from Huaxia, wiped off his sweat and felt sincerely.

"It's okay, otherwise, how could I come to Laomei without a translator..." Zhang Xiaoya was very concerned about foreign languages ​​when she was studying in the past. Although she experienced some twists and turns in the circle, her spoken English did not fail. , Zhang Xiaoya is naturally very proud of coming to Laomei this time.

"However, Mr. Zhou is really good...By the way, Mr. Zhang, I just received a call from Mr. Xue from Huaxia. Mr. Xue said that the first five paintings of the "Slam Dunk" comics have been drawn. On the official website of "Storm Anime", try the first painting first, but I still have no idea..."

   "It's okay, Mr. Zhou told me a few days ago, don't think about making money in the first year, and build word of mouth first..."

"Ok…"

Zhang Xiaoya then chatted with Liu Qing about the general content of the first painting of "Spiderman", and personally interviewed a few students who just came from China who dreamed of becoming "cartoon artists", and then returned to her own independent work area, began to open the official website of "Storm Animation" and looked at it.

In fact, the official website of "Storm Anime" already had a plan when it was "Those Things That Rabbit That Year", but at that time, apart from "That Rabbit", there were no projects that could be sold. Take out the "Jing Wu Little Heroes" that hit the street and continue?

   Isn’t this bullshit?

  Later, after "Spider-Man" was completely popular in China, Zhou Yang put this plan on the agenda again, and personally chatted with Xue Ning, Zhang Xiaoya and others about many familiar comic projects.

The two didn't care at first, but when some comic projects, such as "Hokage", such as "Pirate", such as "Dragon Ball", such as "Slam Dunk" and other stories were told, the two felt their heads buzzing. ring.

   Not to mention whether these comics will be popular or not, and what the future of the story will be like, but Zhang Xiaoya was shocked by the dazzling plot of the comics. She wanted to open Zhou Yang's head several times to see what was hidden inside...

   "Perhaps, not long after, the entire era will dance because of him."

  After looking at the simple pages and seemingly insignificant comic projects on the official website of "Storm Anime", Zhang Xiaoya suddenly expressed a sincere emotion.

  ………

  【Oh my god, this person is so bold that he directly challenged the DV company! 】

  【Is he crazy? This is really a lunatic, "Spider-Man" is an exception, and "Spider-Man" has not had much box office in Laomei, so he dares to directly talk about superheroes to DV companies? 】

  【A movie cannot be judged from its box office! 】

  【But the box office determines the essence of a movie, doesn’t it? 】

  【Then "King Kong Tiger" is now overwhelmed by "Spider-Man" at the box office in China? what do you say? 】

  【Damn it, everyone knows that Zhou Yang is a man who overshadows the sky in China... How can "King Kong Tiger" compare to it! 】

  【What about the box office in North America other than the United States? Have you seen today's box office? The box office of "Spider-Man" in North America has exceeded 10 million. Although the United States is not yet 10 million, but because the four major theaters did not give "Spider-Man" many films, if "Spider-Man" is a movie under the DV company , How can "King Kong Tiger" compare? 】

  【Yes, there are only a few theaters in Los Angeles that line up for "Spider-Man", and there are not a few of them. They have been in theaters for more than ten days, and they are still full every day! I can't get a seat at all! I have always heard people say how promising "Spider-Man" is, but I have never watched it. I strongly urge theaters to line up more films! 】

  【…】

  July 5th.

  The box office of "Spider-Man" is getting higher and higher, and its influence has also begun to explode.

  On the major social networking sites in the United States, DV companies and some people in Hollywood wanted to suppress it, but found that it was completely impossible.

   Many netizens began to discuss on their social media how difficult it is to buy tickets for "Spider-Man", how much they want to see...

  The fans who watched "Spider-Man" were unanimously praised, and even the ratings they gave suppressed "King Kong Tiger".

  Under this increasingly lively trend, some media and capital that had been completely closed to "Spider-Man" began to gradually loosen.

  Even on the evening of July 5th, everyone discovered that the American Film Network, which had blocked "Spider-Man", began to re-list the "Spider-Man" project and re-rated it.

  The furious DV executives immediately greeted the American Film Network executives, but they heard that the American Film Network executives were very helpless and even speechless.

   "Have you heard of the movie website "Movie House"?"

   "In just ten days, the number of daily visits to Movie House has grown from a few thousand to tens of thousands. These tens of thousands of active users are all from the American Movie Network!"

   "Privately, our own movie network began to be complained by users about various unfair, shady, black-box operations..."

   "Dude, it's okay if "Spider-Man" can really be suppressed, but after you suppressed it for a long time, "Spider-Man" became popular in North America instead..."

   "A few days ago, the leaders of AMD talked with me... They saw the potential of "Spider-Man" and were considering buying the screening rights of "Spider-Man..."

   "They are still complaining, saying that "Spider-Man" is obviously a money-making movie, and you let them make a lot of less money. Their theaters in North America except the United States have made a lot of money!"

   "And superhero movies are not exclusive to you, you can make them, and others can too!"

   "..."

   Capital is very realistic.

  They can unite for a short time and block them for the sake of profit and the so-called friendship they once had.

  However, when they realize that the so-called ban will not bring them much benefit, but will instead cause them to lose their benefits, they will shamelessly tear off the so-called camouflage.

Tony Auman, the director of "King Kong Tiger", heard this conversation, and when he learned that AMD Cinemas had prepared to contact Zhou Yang for the right to screen "Spider-Man", his face wrinkled , He realized that following the fall of North America, the fast seal in the American base camp area will soon be unsealed!

  An extremely tragic strangulation will start from now on...

  And he had to face the cruelest and most powerless moment in his career!

  He immediately found the senior management of the DV company and the person in charge of the marketing department, and began to discuss countermeasures anxiously.

  When the meeting was halfway through, they not only failed to discuss a suitable countermeasure, but heard another news.

  The next July, they will not only face the siege of "Spider-Man", but also a movie called "Klein the Magician" will be released.

   This is a blockbuster movie that Warner Bros. has invested close to 300 million US dollars. Warner Bros. is going to spend huge sums of money to promote this movie...

  ...

  The movie "Spider-Man" laid an extremely solid foundation for Zhou Yang's future direction.

   It also let Huaxing's previous predicament be unblocked again.

Delaware.

   "Mr. Zhou Yang, hello, I am Karin from AMD Cinemas, we have contacted before, I am very sorry for the previous missed appointment, this time, I came here with full sincerity..."

  Zhou Yang brewed a cup of tea, and looked at the tall and slender Western woman in front of him.

  Zhou Yang looked at it and compared it a little. His figure was similar to An Xiao's, but not as pretty as An Xiao's.

but…

  But there is an invisible mature charm, especially when smiling, there is a sense of fox charm, which makes people unable to help but immerse themselves in it.

  Her name is Karin, and she is a Product Manager for AMD Cinemas.

  On the eve of the release of "Spider-Man", she personally contacted herself, saying that she wanted to buy the screening rights of "Spider-Man".

  At that time, the chat in all aspects was relatively pleasant, and when the electronic contract was about to be signed, she suddenly announced that she would not buy it for the time being.

  At that time, Zhou Yang was taken aback, but then expressed his understanding.

  Hollywood really wants to completely block itself.

   "Miss Karin, hello, is the contract the same as before?"

"yes!"

   "I'm afraid it won't work now!"

   "Huh? What's wrong?"

   "Split! The original split of "Spider-Man" was six to four, six for you, four for us, but now, this price is no longer acceptable!"

"what!"

Zhou Yang looked at Karin, and was not confused by Karin's smile. Instead, he slowly brewed a cup of tea and smiled: "It's different now, drink a cup of tea first, let's talk slowly... oh, I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone first... Regal Cinemas seems to have called me too..."
