You Made Me a Superstar

  Chapter 520 Give him a part-time job, shit!

Cafe.

  The saxophone of "Going Home" rang over and over again.

  Graceful, ethereal, lingering.

  Since the concert in Vienna, many public places in China have obtained the rights to play the "Going Home" saxophone, and they are playing it continuously.

  Jiang Ge used to like to come to the coffee shop. He liked the atmosphere in the coffee shop and the mellow sense of literature and art.

  This kind of environment can stimulate a very strong desire to create.

  But after that concert, he rarely came to the coffee shop, and even if he came to the coffee shop, he would not stay until the coffee shop was about to close.

  That will give him a feeling of being dominated by Zhou Yang, and it will remind him all the time that that annoying character has already stood at the peak at this moment, overlooking him.

  Being in the same era as Zhou Yang is definitely a painful thing and a blow to self-confidence.

  You have no choice but to witness his rise, and then, when you really react, you can only see his back, you can only look up, as if you are not in the same class.

   But today, he sat in the coffee shop for a long time.

Feng Kai kept pestering him and talked to him about the past. He chatted with him about movies, Yan Film Academy, how much he envied Jiang Ge when he became famous, and how much he loved him. How longing to be shoulder to shoulder with him, this has become an obsession.

   Later, Feng Kai talked about the past when he knew Zhou Yang.

   "When I first met Zhou Yang, I was in a disdainful, even irritable attitude..."

   "He is too serious about things, serious to the bone, and he is too paranoid, paranoid like a lunatic, so crazy that people feel speechless..."

   "No one believes that he will board Berlin. After all, some things are said, it is too absurd. In fact, I still think it is ridiculous..."

   "..."

   Django listened, a little fidgety, instinctively sick.

Feng Kai admired Zhou Yang very much. When talking about the past, he naturally carried a lot of personal emotions. Jiang Ge said several times that he had something to do and that he was leaving. If so, I am afraid that the investor will be held accountable...

  But Feng Kai shook his head.

   "Director Jiang, if the investor wants to pursue responsibility, you can come to me. I will pay you as much liquidated damages as they want you to pay. You can record what I am saying now, or make a video..."

   "Director Jiang, I'm talking about the future with you now. Really, you believe me, something I told you today may change your life, at least the development of the next ten years..."

  Feng Kai was smiling. This kind of smile made Jiang Ge very uncomfortable, as if he knew something, but Jiang Ge vaguely felt that it was impossible.

   But he finally sat down, listening impatiently to Feng Kai's eloquence.

   Time passed a little bit, and finally arrived at the coffee shop to close.

   "Join us Huaxing! Really!"

  When Feng Kai said this suddenly, Jiang Ge suddenly wanted to laugh, really wanted to laugh.

   It turned out that he was soliciting himself.

  He deserves it?

  Is he a Huaxing match?

  Jiang Ge had this idea in his mind, and looked at Feng Kai jokingly: "What can you give me? How much money can you give me to betray Xinghui?"

"It's not about money, it's about good birds choosing trees to live in. The next five years of China's film industry will definitely be dominated by Huaxing! You have seen what happened in the second half of this year. When everyone is questioning Zhou Yang's At that time, he supported the film industry by himself. Not only that, but also discovered many directors who had been suppressed. Couldn't films like "Crazy Stone" and "Laughing Flowers All the Way" prove anything? Director Jiang, Zhou Yang In fact, I appreciate you very much, but there are some reasons, I can’t tell you why I admire you for the time being, but Huaxing’s platform is definitely better than Xinghui’s!”

  Jiang Ge made it more and more ridiculous, and finally couldn't help laughing: "Director Feng, you look serious and humorous. Okay, I have to go, otherwise, I will laugh until my stomach hurts!"

   Then, under Feng Kai's serious expression, he shook his head and left the coffee shop.

Feng Kai did not give up, but chased after him, and continued to chat with him about job hopping. Jiang Ge became impatient: "Zhou Yang! Zhou Yang! You never leave Zhou Yang in three words, and the whole world is like Zhou Yang." Is Yang talented? My movie "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is definitely not worse than any of Zhou Yang's movies! If you want to poach me, you Chinese stars are not qualified enough! After "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is released, you will know why I did it. Say those words!"

  In the cold wind, Jiang Ge was furious at Feng Kai.

   But Feng Kai was not angry, but looked at him seriously: "Yes, we all believe in your talent, "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" will definitely become popular!"

"Neuropathy!"

  Django cursed, and finally got in the car to go home.

   Along the way, the more Jiang Ge thought about it, the more inexplicable he felt, and then he remembered the reaction of those Huaxing staff members to him when "Infernal Affairs 2" was released today, and the more he thought about it, the more weird he felt.

   But in the end, he shook his head.

   "It's king to make my own movie well!"

   "They just mess with my mentality!"

  ………

   With a burst of snowflakes falling.

  The bell of 2008 finally rang.

  Accompanied by the bell, everyone saw the box office of "Infernal Affairs 2".

  Thirty million three million premiere box office.

   It was higher than expected, even more than two million yuan higher than the premiere box office of "Infernal Affairs 1".

  If it was placed in the past, such a box office would be shocking, but if it is placed in the present, although such a box office is good, it is not amazing.

   This year is less than a year, it seems that the times have changed.

  【The premiere box office is just one aspect! The key is to look at the follow-up, the follow-up box office! 】

Although the reputation of "Infernal Affairs 2" is very good, Liu Tianwang is almost praised by many film critics. Many people are saying that this script was written for Liu Tianwang. All other characters, including Chen Yongren, played by Zhou Yang before, are all Responsible for Liu Tianwang, the premiere box office is also very good, but there are still people questioning "Infernal Affairs 2" on the Internet...

   This kind of questioning did not disappear until January 2nd, after the box office data of the next day came out.

  【"Infernal Affairs 2" had a box office of 35 million on the second day, second only to "Time Travel" and became the runner-up of the daily box office, with 700 million, a sure thing! 】

  35 million box office, higher than the box office on the premiere day, such an astonishing record, really made many doubts and trolls unable to speak.

   Unable to spray the box office, they began to spray the movie "Infernal Affairs 2" itself.

There are too many actors in this movie, this movie is too mixed, the narrative of this movie is a bit messy, it is not comparable to the previous "Infernal Affairs", it belongs to the work of the dog-tailed sable, and even the quality of the script written by Zhou Yang is going downhill …

  This world is so strange, as long as they want to criticize or belittle, they can always find a point, and then cite many messy points.

   Then, after such a comparison, based on preconceptions, the rating of "Infernal Affairs 2" on Douban is naturally not as good as that of "Infernal Affairs".

   "Infernal Affairs" has a score of 9.0, and "Infernal Affairs 2" has a score of 8.7.

  But the box office is not affected by the ratings, it still maintains at 30 million points, and it lasts for four days, and then it slowly slides down to 30 million...

   Time passed day by day, and the weather became colder and colder.

   Part of China began to snow one after another.

  Someone broke the news on the Internet that Liu Tianwang terminated his contract with Huaxing inexplicably and joined Wang Jing's artist studio, essentially jumping to Huaxing.

  The moment this incident was first revealed, it caused a sensation, but then the sensation was suppressed by another series of entertainment news.

  Xinghui spent a huge amount of money to invest. In "The Beast" directed by the famous director Zhang Liansong, the male protagonist Lu Zitao and the female protagonist Zhang Yan hit the hot searches because of the romantic atmosphere of the play. It is rumored that the two kissed in the street.

   Then…

Weibo, Tieba, and major media are all all kinds of news about Lu Zitao, a little fresh meat, and then broke out all kinds of news. These news indirectly pushed the movie "The Beast" to the top of the list. , once occupied Weibo for a whole day.

After this Weibo post came down, Zhang Liansong, the director of "The Beast", made a bold statement on Weibo: This movie has been honed for ten years, and he is very ambitious for this movie. Even if he encounters "Time Travel" at its peak can fight with it.

Zhang Liansong's amazing words naturally aroused the excitement of countless netizens, and even broke the news that the movie "The Beast" was originally released in December. After the news was released, countless film critics came forward, saying that they were very excited after watching the screening of the movie "The Beast", and felt that this movie was a masterpiece. The vicious film critic Ba Liming even stood up and said some good things about the film.

  Under such astonishing enthusiasm, on January 8, "The Beast" directed by Zhang Liansong was finally released in the eyes of everyone.

  After the premiere, the audience was disappointed.

   It’s not a bad movie, but it’s definitely not a masterpiece, and some plots and plots are very clichéd. Although the special effects in the movie are not bad, they are really not as good as "Time Travel".

  On the Internet, there are all positive reviews, and there are actually no bad reviews.

  The box office of the premiere also reached an astonishing over 40 million, which made countless filmmakers feel that this is another amazing blockbuster movie.

   However, the premiere box office seems to be the limit.

  After the second day, the box office of "The Beast" began to plummet, falling directly to 30 million, a total drop of 10 million. On the third day, the box office was even lower by more than 10 million.

  Many people began to realize that "The Beast" was accused of being reviewed on Douban, and only positive reviews were allowed, not negative reviews.

  The box office will not lie, even if there are a lot of positive reviews on the Internet, the mentality of the audience is still realistic whether they are willing to spend money to buy tickets.

After the fourth day, Xinghui finally stopped spending money to control reviews, and a large number of comments were "disappointed", "don't hype it so high", "anticipating it in vain", "this is an ordinary movie, don't blow it so high". With the whole Douban...

  ………

   "What? What did you say? Zhou Yang will go back to China to watch the premiere of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin"?"

   "Wait, what are you talking about? He also promoted "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" on Weibo?"

   "Is this person really big-hearted, or really sick?"

   "..."

   The failure of "The Beast" made Li Zhongjun of Xinghui feel a little overwhelmed, and then set his sights on another movie "Liao Zhai Painted Skin".

  He has seen the sample of this movie, it is very amazing!

but…

  When Li Zhongjun saw Zhou Yang's Weibo, he was instantly stunned.

   Then frown!

   "Wait, go and investigate the capital of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin"!"

   "Mr. Li, this capital comes from abroad. It has been investigated very clearly before..."

   "No, you should investigate in detail. I suspect that this capital might have something to do with Zhou Yang. Maybe we're all working for him!"
