Chapter 448 It’s time to go home
The maturity of a person is often accompanied by stumbles.
[The first of six generations of directors], [The backbone of Chinese film], [the first person to export Chinese film culture], [Hope of Chinese film].
When he was studying at Yanying University, Django was naive, thinking about how his future self would be honored and how it would be engraved into the milestones of Chinese movies and become an indelible part.
After graduating, I met Cao Bangguo and joined the famous director Cao Bangguo through his father’s relationship. With his help, he made several well-received and popular movies. Most of the directors who graduated at the same time were wasted in the crew. He is full of envy, jealousy…
Cao Bangguo set a ten-year plan for him.
The former Django also moved forward step by step according to this plan, and regarded his teacher Cao Bangguo as a god-like figure, and respected him extremely.
Zhou Yang’s appearance shattered Django’s sweet dream.
It seems like a big dream. After the dream is broken, it is a **** and cruel reality.
I was jealous, angered, unwilling, and even gnashing my teeth and wanting to peel it off and cramp it…
In addition to these countless negative emotions, there are panic and anxiety.
How many times has he been awakened from a nightmare, recalling nightmares, but he can’t remember what he was dreaming about. He only knew that he was very desperate in the dream, and only knew that he couldn’t sleep after waking up from the dream. Yang’s various hot searches once made him think that he was still immersed in a nightmare and did not wake up.
After “Night Walker”, his pride and self-confidence all collapsed, he fell into self-doubt for a time, and even the sacred image of his teacher, Cao Bangguo, began to gradually shatter.
He began to doubt whether his teacher’s actions were right. He was clearly learning from the barbarians to control barbarians, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was cooperating with the West to make their culture more open to wreak havoc on China…
“Uncle Zhou.”
“You’re welcome, sit down, have you brought anything?”
“Bring me, “Liao Zhai Painted Skin” is a story I adapted from “Strange Tales from Liao Zhai”, about the oriental magic story between man and fox… The investment is about 150 million, but if you can find a similar DV company I can save 30 million yuan, and I have personally invested 40 million yuan. At the same time, I plan to mortgage all the assets in the villa and my personal name, so that I can make up an additional investment of 20 million yuan. Ten million, I still need fifty million…”
Zhou Yilin’s office.
The lights are shining.
Django kept talking to Zhou Yilin about movies.
When he spoke, his head was lowered, and his whole person was humble but very eager, like a drowning person desperately trying to grab a life-saving straw.
repeated blows, let him know that he is an ordinary person.
After realizing that he was an ordinary person, Django started desperately trying to seize every opportunity he could.
“Why don’t you find Lao Cao?”
“Uncle Cao is busy with “The Man of Righteousness” and can’t find time…”
Django has approached Cao Bangguo, and more than once
Cao Bangguo suggested to him that it is no problem to shoot “Liao Zhai Painted Skin”, but after the completion of the “Righteous Man” project, he hoped that he could join the “Righteous Man” crew to assist Wu Tong in filming, and give the future The leaders of the film department left a good impression.
He once looked down on Cao Bangguo, but he was obedient, but he had an indescribable sense of rejection and separation towards “The Man of Righteousness”.
Especially in the casting of this movie, he chose those ugly Chinese actors with narrowed eyes, which made him feel uncomfortable in his bones, and he was unable to change these things. After all, he was just a little director under the shadow of Cao Bangguo, but deep down he was deeply troubled. I don’t want to be involved in the filming of these ugly Chinese actors…
“What about other directors?”
“Other directors are busy with the China Directors Association. This time the support plan has been cancelled. They are very perfunctory to me…”
“Then why don’t you go? You can be a little more gregarious, and you are also the vice president, right?”
“They didn’t tell me to go…Uncle Zhou, you should know that my so-called vice president is just a name, and Uncle Cao pushed me up…”
In the office, Django smiled wryly.
The rights and positions he was once proud of, but now he realizes that they are all empty.
When was working, he took him to do all the work, but he never got the real rights and respect. Everyone looked at him and still looked at Cao Bangguo’s face.
“50 million is not a small amount… In recent years, although there have been many hits in Huaxia movies, they are still in an embarrassing stage.”
“I know…”
“I’ll take a serious look at the script first.”
“OK.”
Time seems to be slowing down.
Django watched Zhou Yilin pick up the script of “Liao Zhai Painted Skin” and read it carefully for a long time…
Django was uneasy in his heart, and once looked out the window to try to get himself back to normal, but instead he became more and more nervous.
He even heard his own heartbeat.
In the evening, Zhou Yilin finally put down the script, and after asking some expectations and the shooting situation of “Liao Zhai Painted Skin”, he finally narrowed his eyes.
“Xiao Jiang, as an elder who watched you grow up, I am very pleased with your changes over the years. I will help you no matter what… However, this task is very difficult, and everyone in the capital circle is very happy. Knowing that “Dark Night Walker” is mostly in the hands of Lao Cao, I have to give this old face to help you pull it, and perhaps sign a guarantee, an agreement, and the price for helping you is still quite high…”
“I can sign it, and I can sign it too!”
“No no no, that’s not what I meant…”
“Uncle Zhou, then you are… Uncle Zhou, no matter how much the box office is, I am willing to give you half of the reward!” Django was stunned for a moment, then stood up abruptly.
“Hehe, it’s too outlandish to talk about remuneration, but seeing that you have this heart, I can try it for you for the time being… I’ll make a phone call first.”
“Please, Uncle Zhou!”
“Hold on.”
“…”
In the office.
Django watched Zhou Yilin leave.
As the sun sets, it will soon be night.
Two hours later, Zhou Yilin finally pushed open the door of the office with a complicated expression on his face.
“A friend of mine made a movie support plan, and he wanted to contact Feng Kai with this support plan. He is quite stubborn, and Feng Kai is in the limelight among young directors, and there are independent blockbusters. Works, he is actually very optimistic about “Jinyiwei 2″…”
“Uncle Zhou, please help me, please, please help me, I only need a chance, please!”
“I’ll make another call…you wait…”
“it is good!”
Another two hours passed.
Django was waiting in the office, his stomach growling, his mood became more and more uneasy, and the feeling of worrying about gains and losses made him unable to breathe for a while.
After waiting for a long time, I heard the door open again.
Zhou Yilin looked at Django with a little tiredness.
“Little Jiang, this support plan is for you!”
“Ah!” Django gasped in surprise, then wanted to stand up, but because of the great joy and sorrow, he sat down on the chair.
Immediately, he stood up again and wanted to say something, but tears could not help but flow out first.
That huge sense of gratitude kept surging in his chest, making him choked up for a while…
And Zhou Yilin patted him on the shoulder with a smile on his face: “I’ll sign a contract with you later, my friend will give me the contract, don’t embarrass me, at least let him make money…”
“Uncle Zhou, if I don’t make money, I will pay the debt even if I sell iron… I can sign a gambling agreement with you…”
“There is no need for a gambling agreement, I believe you!”
………………
Huaxing.
Zhou Yang finished reading the script of “Liao Zhai Painted Skin” again.
He was quite satisfied.
At the moment of the first script of “Liao Zhai Painted Skin”, he was immediately surprised.
The plot of “Painted Skin” that this movie gave to the original world is very similar. After Zhou Yang watched it, he once suspected that Django was a transmigrator.
Later, after reading the story of “Strange Tales from a Liaozhai” on the Internet, he suddenly realized that the story line of “Strange Tales from a Liaozhai” in this world is exactly the same as that of “Painted Skin”.
“Xiao Zhou, if there is no problem, then I signed the contract?”
“Sign it.”
In half a day, Zhou Yilin himself came to Huaxing twice.
The first time I came here with the script, the second time I discussed with Zhou Yang how to sign the contract and how to plan and formulate the outline of the [Huaxia Film Capital Support Plan].
Zhou Yilin is still a smiling tiger.
has always been doing things that please both sides and benefit both sides.
Although he is one of the members of the Huaxia Directors Association, he is also the vice president of the Huaxia Youth Directors Association.
While following the Director’s Association, I occasionally said a few words on the Internet that the Huaxia Youth Directors’ Association was not good, while secretly making a lot of money.
He eats the support funds of the China Directors Association, and he also eats the support funds of the China Youth Directors Association.
Well, his new movie “Di Renjie” only has an outline, so he took all kinds of support funds and publicity channels on both sides.
Although he thinks Zhou Yilin is quite shameless, after having been in contact with Zhou Yilin for so long, Zhou Yang realizes that in addition to being selfish and occasionally doing some shady actions, Zhou Yang can still distinguish between right and wrong, and he is right. The movie also has its own unique insights, which is much better than the filming of “Warring States”. At the same time, Zhou Yilin is very keen on the future, and someone who has a blueprint for planning…
“Xiao Zhou, I think the movie “Liao Zhai Painted Skin” can make money… Well, I will sign a gambling agreement, if it doesn’t meet his requirements…”
“There is no need for the gambling agreement, Uncle Zhou, I believe you.”
The second time they came over, the two had a dinner together. After the meal, Zhou Yilin vowed to pat his chest, and even signed a gambling agreement with Zhou Yang.
After seeing Zhou Yilin like this, Zhou Yang smiled and shook his head.
After returning to the office together, the two only signed a non-disclosure agreement and an investment agreement, and then Zhou Yilin walked away.
Late at night.
Zhou Yang suddenly felt a little pitiful for Django.
was covered in drums.
Just at this time…
Zhou Yang’s phone rang. He looked at the number and saw that the call was from An Xiao.
“It’s time to go home.”
“what?”
