Chapter 35 Irony
January 27th.
Zhou Yang once again came to the prosperous Yanjing City.
Compared with a year ago, Yanjing City has not changed much…
Pedestrians are in a hurry, waiting for the bus, waiting for the subway, not less because of the New Year, but more crowded.
Everywhere you can see salesmen with information on the phone while eating breakfast and office workers in suits and leather shoes with briefcases.
“Dad, Mom, I won’t go back to New Year this year…”
“The annual leave is too short to stay at home for a few days…”
“The company is very busy, and now I am at a critical time of promotion. I have to follow up on this project…”
“May 1st, I may be free on May 1st…”
“…”
“…”
After seeing a young woman finish the phone call with a very surprised tone, Zhou Yang suddenly hugged her head and started crying.
In the noisy subway, someone handed her a tissue. She said thank you and wiped it away, but she couldn’t wipe away her tears.
The phone rang again.
When she heard the phone ringing, she picked up the phone almost as a conditioned reflex. After taking a deep breath, she started to introduce the advantages of their company in a serious and confident voice, and hoped that the other party would think more about them…
The older generation is very envious of the little clerks in the city who are sitting in the office blowing the air conditioner, and hope that their future children will be like them, working as a master in a big city.
People in big cities dress brightly and don’t need to be exposed to the sun, let alone do physical work like them and earn hard money.
They think this is happiness.
but……
Who knows how much bitterness and despair are filled in that brightly lit world?
Times have changed.
“What’s wrong?”
“nothing.”
Feng Kai saw that Zhou Yang had returned to the silence that he had just met. It was strange after that.
Zhou Yang didn’t say much, just looked at everyone in the subway.
For a moment, he felt that the world was like a vast ocean, with all rivers flowing into the sea.
And he is one of the duckweeds in the creek.
floats with the waves, rolls with the waves.
I don’t know where I’m going, I don’t know when I’m falling, I don’t know when I’m going to rot…
“The movie “Tianji” really made the investors miserable. Instead of making such a movie, it is better not to do anything…” Feng Kai looked at the poster of the “Tianji” movie in the subway, and was speechless. Shaking his head, “However, those sort of abstract stream-of-consciousness movies are quite liked by the literary and artistic people in Berlin. Maybe they can really fool the foreigners. Art, they are all incomprehensible things…”
“…”
“…”
Zhou Yang turned his head and looked at the poster of “Tianji”.
He saw that the actor Shen Kaifeng had disheveled hair, and his eccentric looks took up more than half of the poster.
Under the poster, there is a line of words.
(In five years, a Chinese epic movie that cannot be surpassed!)
Zhou Yang suddenly felt an indescribable sense of disobedience…
He thought of a movie called “The Promise” in the original world.
Although the movies look different and the actors are different, there are always some great directors who have become famous and have gone further and further on the road of art that is incomprehensible.
In five years, no one really understands “The Promise”. Five years later, well, at least a person with no artistic talent like Zhou Yang still can’t understand it.
Of course, in addition to the movie poster of “Promise”, there is another movie poster called “Hero”.
This is a new movie. The poster of the movie is very simple. A sword is placed in the center of the poster, and the sword’s body reflects the actors with fierce faces.
The director of this film is Shen Changwei, who is a man of the same era as the director of “Promise” Chen Kai, and is also a representative of the fifth generation of directors in China…
The shadows of Chen Wuji and Lao Mouzi appeared in Zhou Yang’s mind.
certainly……
They were too far away from him.
It was so far away that Zhou Yang didn’t dare to think about it.
The subway will arrive soon.
After arriving at the station, Zhou Yang followed Feng Kai to the elevator. After getting out of the elevator, he called a taxi. Amidst the retching sound of Feng Kai’s collapse due to the traffic jam, the two came to the door of “Xingcai Company”.
Xingcai Company, which was once a crowded city, seems a little deserted now.
There were only a few reporters squatting at the entrance of the company, playing with the camera boredly…
There are fans too, but only a few of them hold cards that say: “Song Qianqian, come on!” “He Yiming, come on.” “Please treat our family Qian Qian…” “Bingbing don’t cry” “Hu Bingqing, we are waiting for you”…
When Xingcai Company first entered this circle, Zeng was ambitious to get a good share of this industry, and spent a lot of money to build an idol girl group, including Song Qianqian, Hu Bingqing and others.
The girl group actually did a good job in the early days. Under the company’s focus, they released several chorus albums in succession. Although the album sales are not top-notch, they can attract a large wave of fans. Relying on the popularity of this wave of fans, they have appeared on variety shows. , accepting commercials, making movies, and making idol dramas, it can be considered a mix…
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.
With the progress of the times, more and more capital has entered this circle. When more capital enters this circle, there will be more open and secret fights.
The cake is so big after all…
The girl group was exposed to all kinds of same-sex, cheating, ripping off, playing big names, suppressing newcomers and other black materials overnight.
These black materials have photos, recordings, and even videos, which once rushed to various hot searches.
After finally spending a lot of money to suppress all this, the company began to have bad luck, and began to invest whatever it lost, until “Tianji”…
When invested in this film, Han Shaoping, the CEO of Star Color Company, was very ambitious.
He thinks this is a turnaround for their company!
In fact, the analyst reminded Han Shaoping, meaning that the investment of 300 million yuan is too large, and the risk is uncontrollable. The best way is to draw a big plate with director Chen Kai, and then attract capital investment, and then invest in the capital invested. Inside, make a small profit, and take a share of the box office by the way…
But Han Shaoping couldn’t listen!
Who is Chen Kai?
The representative of the five generations of directors in China!
has produced a series of classic works such as “Overlord”, “The Great Era”, “Black Land” and so on!
Do you want to make a small fortune, or choose to trust Chen Kai and create a new era of Chinese box office together?
Han Shaoping chose the latter.
But who would have thought that it was the great director Chen Kaihui in his teenage years who suddenly lost his mind and gave his heart such a brutal act?
……………………
After showing the relevant documents, Zhou Yang and Feng Kai walked into the company.
In such a big company, Zhou Yang saw a lot of people talking in private, some were calling to contact the new brokerage company, some were packing their bags and preparing to leave.
Feng Kai is not small in this circle.
As one of the most promising directors of the younger generation, Feng Kai has also been interviewed on TV and various variety shows.
After seeing Feng Kai, some people immediately surrounded him with excitement, “Director Feng” and “Director Feng”, shouting non-stop, and even Zhou Yang was filled with all kinds of pleasing smiles.
Zhou Yang recalled how he stood at the door of this company a year ago and was chased away by security guards…
Zhou Yang was taken aback when he saw one of the middle-aged women.
He remembered sitting at the door of this company all day, and then tried every means to pass the manuscript he wrote to this middle-aged woman, and very seriously begged the middle-aged woman to help show the company’s artists a look, even if he wanted to. Throw it, and hope you can take a look and throw it again.
pity……
“Well, thank you for your support to our family Qian Qian, I will show her what you wrote…”
“Please go back first, if necessary, I will contact you.”
“…”
“…”
After leaving this sentence, the middle-aged woman took away her manuscript.
Zhou Yang tried very hard to prove one thing.
Not only are fairy tales deceptive, but many online novels are also deceptive.
There may be Bole in the world.
but unlikely to be met by Zhou Yang.
“Wow, Mr. Zhou is young and promising, a talent!”
“Mr. Zhou, do you need an assistant? I’ve worked in this industry for many years, and I have a lot of experience and a good eye…”
“I used to be Song Qianqian’s assistant. If Qianqian joins your company, I hope you can also mention me at the meeting by the way…”
“…”
Zhou Yang heard the woman’s pleasing smile, and hurriedly handed himself a business card.
Zhou Yang looked at this middle-aged woman named Sun Fangfang.
She doesn’t know herself anymore.
He suddenly felt a little ironic.
He was wearing the exact same clothes as last year, and his whole body was a little darker than last year, but just because he came in with Feng Kai, he became a ‘superior talent”?
He was silent for a long, long time.
then showed a smile.
“Sister Sun, did you give Song Qianqian the lyrics I handed you last year?”
“…”
