MTL - You Made Me a Superstar-Chapter 5 Executive director Zhou Yang?

   Chapter 5 Executive Director Zhou Yang?

   Zhou Yang is very busy.

Busy rolling out the red carpet, the broken camera was on the shelf, and for the sake of image, the damaged plastic part was repaired and beautified, and he climbed the ladder and pulled it up. ” banner.

  After doing this...

   Zhou Yang looked at the planning sheet, and then began to place the incense burner to invite God.

These are transmitted from Hong Kong Island. In the early years, Hong Kong Island would shoot some ghostly or murder movies. During the filming, I was afraid that some invisible friends would run into the crew to join in the fun, so they would be placed before the start. Such a ritual of burning incense and worshipping the gods, I hope the gods can bless the filming of the movie smoothly, so that those little friends stay far away.

   Zhou Yang felt that this thing was superstitious and unscientific, but after thinking about it, he honestly bowed first, said some words of blessing, and solemnly put on the first incense stick first.

After    worship, Zhou Yang looked at the "Mine Bottom" opening ceremony on the red banner.

  It turns out that this new movie is called "The Bottom of the Mine".

   He studied these two words for a long time.

   suddenly became curious about the script.

What kind of story is    a movie about?

   The name seems to be a literary film.

Um……

  I don't know how different this movie is from "Blind Well"...

  …………………………

  Auspicious time is 4:08 pm.

  The auspicious time arrived, and the county town called Xinyang was surrounded by audiences and extras. Besides them, there were also some interview cars that Zhou Yang had never seen before.

  The reporters came down from the interview car with photographic equipment. The reporters looked very enthusiastic, they were excited and worked hard to interview some extras, and asked them what they thought about this moment.

   The extras were generally very excited and nervous, and some people couldn't hold back a word after bumping into the camera for a long time.

   Instead, a fashionable woman named Liu Tingting faced the camera and talked with a slightly natural expression. The content was that she would cherish such an opportunity and work hard.

   Zhou Yang thought these reporters were strange.

  No matter what the extras answer, their expressions are always only uniform and monotonous smiles.

   This kind of smile is very intimidating. Looking closely, Zhou Yang has the illusion that they are all wearing the same mask.

  When the interview was almost done, they started searching the crowd for something…

   Zhou Yang wanted to go to the van to continue fiddling with the interview tools that needed maintenance after he was done with all this...

   After all, there are so many things to fix, he has to race against time.

   But just as Zhou Yang left the crowd and was about to approach the van, suddenly those reporters swarmed towards him as if they had discovered a new continent, and their eyes seemed to become a little hot!

   "Director Zhou, hello, I would like to ask, do you have any expectations for this movie?"

   "Director Zhou, hello, we have a simple question..."

   "Director Zhou, hello, can I take a few minutes for you? We heard that you understand the script very well and have a set of your own opinions..."

   "Director Zhou, I've been working hard recently..."

  “…”

   The lights of the camera flickered so that Zhou Yang couldn't open his eyes.

   Like a silly dog ​​blinded by a searchlight, he foolishly listened to the mess around him.

  Bewildered, overwhelmed, and the brain is blank.

   Director Zhou?

   Is this calling me?

  Why do they call me Director Zhou?

   Looking at the more intriguing, yet brighter expressions on the faces of these reporters, Zhou Yang did not feel the splendor that has attracted much attention.

   He just felt scared.

   As if these reporters are some kind of beast, they are about to be swallowed up.

   Did they misunderstand something?

   "I'm not a director, I...I'm just a migrant worker..."

   "Sorry, I'm really not a director..."

  “…”

   He was nervous, and his answer was a little bumpy.

   He kept shaking his head and kept denying.

   "Be humble, Director Zhou..."

   "Director Zhou is really young and promising!"

   "Director Zhou..."

  “…”

   However, these reporters seemed to be answering the wrong question, and their eyes were even hotter!

   Zhou Yang felt as if he was surrounded by these hot gazes.

   He couldn't breathe.

   The microphone during the interview is also very strange.

   Sometimes it is towards oneself, and sometimes it is towards others.

  The reporters came quickly, like a heat wave, and they left quickly...

   In a series of flattering remarks, he immediately dispersed to interview other people.

   Although Zhou Yang didn't understand what an interview was, he felt that these reporters seemed to be targeted, as if they were carrying out some kind of task.

what is the problem?

   Zhou Yang was stunned on the spot.

   "Xiao Zhou..." Zhou Yang's doubts didn't last long when he saw Liu Yi hurriedly running towards him.

   "Director Liu..."

   "Xiao Zhou, Han Chong will be here soon. This time there are more people coming. Our executive director is not in place yet. You will replace it when you take the stage..."

   "Ah? Replacement? Director Han, I don't understand!"

   "It's okay if you don't understand, we will introduce you to it!"

   "But, I..."

   "No but, it's as simple as letting you save a game, and I'll give you a big red envelope later!" Liu Yi said anxiously looking into the distance.

   "How much?" Zhou Yang asked subconsciously.

   "It's a big red envelope anyway, go up, go up now!"

"Oh."

   "By the way, I bought you a suit, you can put it on."

   "Money for suits..."

   "Not included in the debt, we sent you to thank you for your rescue..."

   "Ah, how can..."

  …………………………

   In the midst of beating gongs and drums, Han Chong came.

   Not only Han Chong came, but also some other familiar faces Zhou Yang had seen on TV.

   Some seem to be advertising stars…

   In addition to them, some local leaders also came, and I heard that there are also some investors.

In short, the assistant director nodded and bowed in front of this group of people, very much like the little Er in the ancient teahouse and the "Guru Turtle" in the brothel, while the director Hong Xiang had a stern face, tied his long hair in a knot, dressed in A long shirt looks very literary.

   Zhou Yang looked at Hong Xiang.

   He found that Director Hong seemed to be a different person.

It became very cold, and at the same time, he stood out from the crowd in the interview sound of the reporter bag, and the content of the answer was also very simple, basically, um, or oh, as if he was not used to these scenes, and even put it in disgust. He waved his hand and walked onto the red carpet very independently. In the camera, his face seemed to be colder.

   Zhou Yang stupidly stood in front of the banner.

   He was wearing a suit and stood like a wooden stake. No matter how he looked, he felt that he was out of tune with these people.

   As if they were two worlds.

   Moreover, he felt that the suit seemed a bit too big and didn't fit well.

   Inadvertently his eyes glanced at the camera...

Um?

  In front of the broken camera, I didn’t know when a buddy appeared. This buddy controlled the camera very smoothly and took some pictures.

   Is the camera ready?

   he wondered.

Just at this time……

   Liu Yi, who was holding the microphone, came to the stage.

   ""The Bottom of the Mine" is a realistic film. Our Director Hong has worked hard for four years to prepare for the expedition to the Berlin Film Festival..."

   "We know that our Huaxia films have gone abroad many times, but unfortunately, they all went away in a hurry and came back disheartened, year after year..."

   "Here, thanks to the media, to the distinguished guests, and my work team..."

  “…”

  “…”

  Associate director Liu Yi's eloquence and Mandarin ability are really good, and his words are very provocative, especially when it comes to the Berlin Film Festival, the voice is even more cadence, ups and downs...

   Zhou Yang, who was not far away, felt a little sad.

   None of the Chinese films in this world has ever won an award at the Berlin Film Festival.

  Many great directors of theatrical films went one after another, but they all returned with regret in the end, and gradually lost their confidence...

   And Hong Xiang, as the fifth-generation director of literary film directors, he has sufficient talent and ambition!

   Carrying the burden side by side, carrying the hopes of the seniors, and vowing to win glory for the country.

Um.

   At least that's what Liu Yi said.

   Zhou Yang wanted to applaud.

  The leaders of the relevant departments of Xinyang County nodded again and again, and were so excited that they took the lead in applauding.

   After introducing director Hong Xiang, Liu Yi then changed the conversation.

   "Here, we would like to solemnly introduce our executive director, Zhou Yang and Zhou..."

   "He's a talent!"

   Zhou Yang was shocked when he heard his name...

what's the situation?
