Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 372 The director actually had a sex change?

After some banter, the three of them started having fun on Weibo, sharing interesting things that happened there.

"Wow! Honey, look at this! Your giveaway Weibo post has over 100 million reposts and comments!"

Zhang Jingyi suddenly handed her phone to Zhou Yang, saying excitedly.

Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, picked up his phone, and found that the number of reposts and comments had indeed exceeded 100 million.

This demonstrates his popularity, unlike some online celebrities who use bots to generate 100 million reposts and comments; these are all from real Weibo users.

The two women were also happy for Zhou Yang.

Excessive excitement is not a good thing. The three of them couldn't sleep at all, so Zhou Yang had to play with them for several hours before he finally wanted to rest.

The next day, as soon as Zhou Yang arrived at the office, Chen Tianzhen delivered some exciting news to him.

"Boss, the profit sharing from the cinemas has been distributed, totaling a whopping 13 billion RMB!" Chen Tianzhen said excitedly.

Making money has become so easy by following Zhou Yang!
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your personal assets have reached 40 billion. You have unlocked the skill "Screenwriter Rewind," which instantly generates scripts for movies and TV series you have previously watched.]

The system, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly spoke in Zhou Yang's mind.

The screenwriter has rewound the script?

Zhou Yang stared angrily at the system before him, his tone unfriendly: "Why didn't you tell me about this skill sooner?"

The system responded in a calm voice: "Your wealth value is less than 40 billion, so naturally you cannot obtain it."

He was silent for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "Alright."

Zhou Yang, his thoughts returning to reality, stared at Chen Tianzhen: "Sister Tianzhen, have you received the script I asked you to buy?"

Chen Tianzhen smiled and revealed, "It's all settled. At first, they hesitated and wanted to direct it themselves, but after I agreed to sponsor their gender reassignment surgery, they immediately sold the script to me. I'll show it to you now."

Immediately, Chen Tianzhen handed over the script. Zhou Yang took it and saw four large characters on the cover: "The Matrix".

He carefully read through the script and found that the plot was exactly the same as the movie he had seen in his previous life.

After closing the script, Zhou Yang felt conflicted.

He originally planned to have the Wachowski brothers helm The Matrix, but their subsequent gender reassignment as the Wachowski sisters caught him off guard.

As a super handsome guy, he has to protect himself.

Zhou Yang, who urgently needed to reconsider who should direct "The Matrix," fell into deep thought.

A moment later, Zhou Yang personally contacted director Christopher Nolan.

"Hey, Director Nolan, I have a film project about to start. The script is excellent. Would you be interested in directing? The pay won't disappoint. Let me give you a brief overview of the plot; I'm sure you'll like it..."

On the other end of the phone, after hearing the plot, Nolan said without hesitation, "Zhou, this script is brilliant! No need for a fee, I'll direct it!"

Zhou Yang said with a smile, "How can you do this for free? We'll do it according to market standards. How about we give you a ten million dollar directing fee?"

"..."

After reaching an agreement with Nolan, Zhou Yang contacted Hugo Weaving, Yuen Woo-ping, and others, inviting them to join the cast of "The Matrix".

Two days later, Zhou Yang finally reached an agreement with all the teams and actors and arranged a schedule.

In addition, today is the day the 100 million yuan grand prize will be announced.

The official Weibo lottery platform announced the list of lucky winners within the specified time.

Zhou Yang immediately forwarded and liked the post about the lucky list.

"#Actor Zhou Yang: Congratulations to @ZhouYangInvincibleHandsomeGuy @LoveYangForLife @ZhouYangGirl and 10,000 other users for winning the grand prize! Please contact the Weibo lottery platform as soon as possible to claim your prize. Also, here's a little surprise: my new film, 'The Matrix,' which I will be filming and starring in soon, will feature top international actors! Stay tuned!#" This post immediately sparked heated discussions among many fans.

"Holy crap, my luck has turned! I won!"

"Oh my god! I won! I want to especially thank Brother Yang, my parents, CCTV, CCTVBA, WC, and WC, and thank everyone who supported me!"

"I'm so envious! Why am I not so lucky? Sigh..."

"Haha, I won the lottery! I'll definitely give my full support to Brother Yang's new movie!"

"Even though I didn't win the prize, I'll still support the cause by buying a movie ticket!"

"Is The Matrix about cyber hackers? It seems so mysterious."

"This topic is very novel. I haven't seen any movies or TV shows about hackers before. I'm really looking forward to it!!"

"..."

Zhou Yang sighed softly at the fans' interpretations of "The Matrix," feeling that everyone's imagination was still lacking.

But Zhou Yang also understood the reason: Chinese science fiction was just starting out. "The Wandering Earth" opened this door, but "The Fortress of Shanghai" closed it again, and the audience's enthusiasm for science fiction was fluctuating.

Therefore, Zhou Yang decided to launch a unique press conference to ignite the hype surrounding "The Matrix," allowing moviegoers to experience the charm of the film and arouse their anticipation.

In today's film industry, the publicity process also occupies an important position.

As the saying goes, even the best wine needs advertising.

Moreover, the production cost of "The Matrix" was as high as $3 million, and Zhou Yang invested most of his wealth into it.

From project initiation, filming, promotion to release, Zhou Yang cannot tolerate any negligence or mistakes.

This press conference was held in Beijing.

Although the press conference had not yet started, the venue was already packed with media reporters and fans.

Zhou Yang is currently one of the most sought-after superstars in the entertainment industry. Whether it's a new film release conference or a solo performance of crosstalk, he attracts the full attention of countless media and fans.

To ensure order at the event, fans who are allowed to enter must register in advance and are selected based on luck.

"Yang Ge's new movie is here! I can't wait!"

"I heard that Brother Yang personally invested in this movie; it seems like a pretty big investment!"

"Brother Yang has spared no effort in improving the quality of domestic films, and thanks to his reputation and talent, he is highly respected in Hollywood!"

"That's right, Brother Yang has already made some success in Hollywood."

"Brother Yang likes to try different styles and genres of films. What style will he choose this time? We're looking forward to it."

"The Matrix, it's probably a story about computer hackers..."

Fans are eagerly anticipating Zhou Yang's new film, "The Matrix," because Zhou Yang's works are always satisfying.

Zhou Yang's works, having stood the test of time, are undoubtedly masterpieces.

"Zhou Yang!"

Suddenly someone shouted, and all eyes in the room turned to the entrance of the venue.

Christopher Nolan, Zhou Yang, Hugo Weaving, Nazar, and others are walking this way.

The fans were incredibly excited to see them.
