You Made Me a Superstar - Chapter 409
if…
If Zhou Yang didn’t appear at the beginning.
Mostly, he should be the first person to be a veritable young director in China.
With the momentum, “Night Walker” broke through the 700 million box office, officially becoming the first Chinese commercial film box office, the leader of the six generations of Chinese directors, and the savior of Chinese films.
After the five-generation directors of the older generation retired, he would naturally become the president of the China Film Association, and led many of his directors to compete with Hollywood films, creating a new era of Chinese films in the fight.
Django has confidence in himself, and is even more convinced that this is his future leadership path.
He has been working really hard.
Not only did he work very hard in professional skills, but he also worked very hard in filming. Whether it was shooting “Mechanical Man” or “Night Walker”, he did everything to his best. Even looking back now, he doesn’t feel that he was in the movie. There is nothing to spend any day.
However…
The birth of Zhou Yang disrupted all his rhythms.
The once proud and talented him began to become insignificant in front of Zhou Yang and gradually became a ridiculous supporting role.
An ordinary person born with a college degree and non-film major can make a debut film casually, and he can enter the Berlin International Film Festival and win an award that the Chinese film industry has never won.
An ordinary person who has never learned acting skills, the second film even won a lot of prizes. Although it didn’t win, it was brilliant in Cannes and praised countless times.
An ordinary person who has never been to the United States made a horror movie in Hollywood. After its release, the box office exceeded 100 million US dollars, which was shocking to the eyes…
An ordinary person who has never studied music seriously, composing a piece casually, can actually make some overseas composers admire…
…
in the room.
The lighting is dim.
Django sat alone in the corner, smoking a cigarette.
Coughing while smoking.
After all, he doesn’t smoke very often, and a little smoke will make him choking, but it is precisely because of this choking that he truly feels that he is alive.
This world is so magical, after leaving Zhou Yang’s company, Django even felt that he was living in a nightmare that he couldn’t wake up from.
The cruel reality has devastated Django’s heart.
“Beep, beep.”
in the corner.
The phone rang.
Django coughed for a long time, then looked at the phone.
The number displayed on the phone was from the United States, so Django knew that this number was called from Zhao Sicheng.
He answered the phone.
“I got a movie here, you help me make it well, it doesn’t matter if you sign your name…”
“I know you are very uncomfortable right now, I can understand your feelings, don’t worry, uncle will not harm you… We are a community of interests.”
“Look, even if this kind of thing happened, you’re fine, right? So, be more courageous… This is the difference between you and Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang is a despicable person, no matter what, he is willing to do it… “
“…”
The voice of greetings on the phone rang in Django’s ear.
Django felt a little harsh all of a sudden, and for some reason, he began to feel ashamed.
He didn’t know what Zhao Sicheng was going to do, but he knew that Zhao Sicheng could never benefit him in vain.
How can there be a pie in the sky?
A month ago, because of jealousy, he was blinded by hatred, and he dealt with demons and did some absurd things.
And now, he’s awake.
At least he didn’t want to have any contact with Zhao Sicheng.
Zhao Sicheng is American, and he, at least he is Chinese…
“I’m sorry, uncle…”
On the other end of the phone, he seemed shocked that Django would suddenly refuse, and was silent for a while.
“I will win once by myself…”
“Don’t you really think that Zhou Yang won by his own efforts? Don’t you know how the few films he succeeded were successful? “Infernal Affairs”, all composed by himself? Xiao Jiang, you really are He is too young, how much John Williams has helped him! Do you understand… In this world, honest people can’t survive… Zhou Yang looks honest, but in fact he is good at calculating, even I am not an opponent… I I’ll show you a set of data, and after you read the contents in the mailbox, you’ll know how bad Zhou Yang was when he was filming…”
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Sicheng kept instilling various contents into Django, and asked people to send some so-called “evidence” to Django’s mailbox.
Django didn’t check the mailbox, but hung up the phone silently.
The phone rang again.
Zhao Sicheng’s phone call was no longer persuasion, but a threat.
“You don’t want other people to know that you contacted me, right? You don’t want your fans, fans know that it was you who called me and asked me to help with the box office of “Nightcrawler”, right? Your chat record with me , I have a recording, and I can guarantee that if I release the nasty words you said, Cao Bangguo will not be able to protect you! Do you really think that you are clean and pure when you are still building an archway?”
“If your scandal is exposed, how many people do you think will go to the cinema to watch “Dark Walker”? I remember that you signed a gambling agreement with Capital, right? According to the current box office, you have just satisfied the gambling, if you draw it in advance , you have to pay at least more than 200 million… Cao Bang will help you pay?”
“Speaking of Cao Bangguo, do you really think Cao Bangguo is clean? Do you know what he did when he was young? In the chaotic era, he was very cruel, and you really thought that after you failed again and again, he would continue to help Are you up? What are you kidding…”
“…”
Django turned pale, and suddenly the world was spinning.
A picture of the future popped up in my mind!
Pairs of indifferent eyes, disappointed expressions, and waves of abuse and accusations…
The feeling of being a high-profile young genius who has been highly anticipated has become a prisoner in an instant, which made it difficult for him to accept.
His whole life seems to have collapsed because of this.
Moment…
He suddenly felt that the darkness around him was getting thicker and thicker, and he couldn’t breathe. He began to suffocate gradually, and was gradually submerged by the darkness.
He lowered his head.
listened to it for a long time.
Zhao Sicheng’s threatening voice became more and more serious, and he even said something about what Cao Bangguo and others did in the chaotic era.
Django felt that his three views gradually cracked, and then he became a little cold, as if he recognized his teacher for the first time.
But then…
suddenly laughed.
Why should I listen to such a person, don’t I have the ability to judge for myself?
And, why should I be afraid of him?
I rushed into Zhou Yang’s office and told Zhou Yang all these things. I had already thought about the consequences of doing so in my heart. Are I still afraid that Zhao Sicheng will announce everything?
There was an abyss ahead, and he couldn’t take another step forward.
“Speak! You tell them! You tell the world, I have nothing to do with me, I’m not afraid! I have nothing to be afraid of now!” He suddenly yelled on the phone.
The other end of the phone was stunned for a moment…
“Abandoned by Uncle Cao, I can only say that I am incompetent… I don’t care what he was like before, but at least, I should believe him, not you!”
“Go away, go away!”
He hung up the phone.
Then smashed the phone into pieces.
But he was not angry. Instead, he went to the window, opened the curtains, and let a ray of moonlight shine on him, and he felt very happy.
It seems that at this moment, he has no fear.
Then, he posted on Weibo, and without even the slightest hesitation, @周阳 sent a private letter of apology on Weibo.
After sending a private apology letter…
Immediately @ the charity organization on Weibo, and publicly announced that all personal profits from “Night Walker” will be donated.
Then, he gritted his teeth again!
In the end, a public apology letter to the “Infernal Affairs” crew was released on Weibo for the first time…
………………
“Fuck!”
“Damn, Django is crazy!”
“The movie has made big news, my mother, this is so special, it turns out that “Zhao Sicheng” did this series of nasty things, and it turned out to be Django contact…”
“This person is virtuous, looks handsome, and is a talented director. I didn’t expect that there is such a thing behind the scenes!”
“Dog traitor, damn, helping outsiders to oppress compatriots, Cao Nima, how can such a person still stay in the movie circle!”
“It’s too pitiful, Director Zhou is too pitiful!”
“Hey, this line of water is too deep, Zhou Yang’s rise is too exaggerated, he must be hated by others…”
“However, he apologized by himself, and he can’t stand the condemnation of his conscience. At least this person is not bad. Should he be saved if he knows how to return?”
“Save the shit, he thought that donating this amount of money would make his conscience feel better? He has the ability to donate all the box office proceeds of “Infernal Affairs” just like Zhou Yang, he just wanted to get that little bit of peace of mind…”
“…”
August 26th.
An earthquake occurred in the entire Chinese film circle again.
When everyone thought that “Nightcrawler” stole the box office of “Infernal Affairs” completely, and almost stopped, no one could have imagined that director Django suddenly revealed himself on Weibo.
He apologized to netizens and the “Infernal Affairs” crew in the form of apology, and explained the cause and effect of this incident, as well as the irrational things he did because of his jealousy, and felt deeply guilty.
Netizens were stunned!
Not only netizens were stunned.
Even Zhou Yang was stunned when he saw the news.
He never imagined that a director like Django, who has always been arrogant and even narrow-minded, would suddenly make such a scene out of nowhere.
On the Internet, Zhou Yang saw netizens swearing at Django for a while, full of all kinds of gangsters, trash, cerebral palsy and other words.
This is an operation that almost ruined his career!
is so irrational!
“Does this person not want to be in this line of work?”
“This is a fatal injury to the movie “Nightcrawler”!”
In the office.
Xu Mei muttered to herself when she saw the big commotion made by Django.
Zhou Yang didn’t know what to say.
He turned his head and looked out the window for a long time.
Thinking from the aspects of business, sophistication, and the future, the more I think about it, the more I think Django is like an idiot.
But, if you think about it in terms of human nature…
“I seem to understand what he’s doing…”
Just when Xu Mei was in a trance, Xu Mei’s phone rang.
Then, he looked at Zhou Yang in disbelief.
“Mr. Zhou, our “Infernal Affairs” was shortlisted for the Taiwan Island Golden Horse Award and nominated for 15 awards…”
“How many?”
“Fifteen Awards!”
