Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 378 Everyone will receive a car!

Director Nolan came over and chatted with them pleasantly. After the movie ended, Nolan was finally able to relax completely.

"Zhou, this is quite a large investment of yours, another ten million US dollars. Aren't you worried about getting your money back?"

Nolan asked with some concern.

Zhou Yang smiled and pointed at Nolan and Hugo Weaving, saying, "With you two box office mascots around, how could I worry about the movie not being a box office success?"

Christopher Nolan's two Batman films were both box office hits, while Hugo Weaving's Lord of the Rings broke the all-time box office record.

The two can be described as the lucky darlings of the box office.

Hugo Weaving shook his head slightly and said casually, "Haha, which of your films hasn't created a box office miracle? If there were a contest for the box office king, you would undoubtedly be the king!"

“That’s right, I’m starting to suspect that you possess some kind of superpower that can attract money.” Nolan scrutinized Zhou Yang with a questioning look.

"Haha, really? Then let's set a small goal and see if my 'Matrix' can break the $20 billion box office mark. Let time be the judge."

Zhou Yang said casually, jokingly.

$20 billion is not an easy figure to achieve; reaching $15 billion would be quite remarkable for him.

However, Nolan replied without hesitation, "Okay, if this movie really makes $20 billion, I'll make another movie for you for free!"

"Haha, deal!"

Zhou Yang casually agreed, taking it as a joke.

That evening, Zhou Yang invited all the crew members to a hotel for a banquet to mark the end of filming.

At the banquet, the staff raised their glasses to toast Zhou Yang. After more than a month of collaboration, Zhou Yang's performance skills and attitude had won their approval.

After dinner, everyone enthusiastically took a group photo, which Zhou Yang also shared on Weibo.

"#Actor Zhou Yang: We've set a filming record, wrapping up in just one month! Many thanks to our staff for their hard work. We're striving to complete post-production special effects within half a month. Stay tuned for 'The Matrix'!#"

Zhou Yang just announced the start of filming not long ago, and now filming has already ended, which surprised fans.

"Holy crap, filming's over already!"

"Zhou Yang, are you even a man? How could you be so fast!"

"It seems like you've sped up the process a bit. Is the quality of the footage really acceptable at this pace?"

“Zhou Yang’s works are bound to be masterpieces. Haven’t your previous doubts been proven false?”

"Haha, I hope so. I actually look forward to it being proven false again."

"I'm really looking forward to it, I definitely have to go to the cinema to support it!"

"..."

Meanwhile, Zhou Yang is about to depart for Shanghai.

Naza bid farewell to Zhou Yang with a heavy heart. Although the two had been inseparable for the past few months, Naza still felt a little reluctant to part ways.

As Zhou Yang disembarked from the plane and walked out of the terminal with his luggage, a group of reporters suddenly swarmed around him.

Zhou Yang was slightly puzzled. How did they know he would be returning to Shanghai today?

However, the next moment, Zhou Yang immediately realized that he would return to Shanghai after posting a Weibo message about finishing filming. It was obvious that everyone knew he would be returning today, so they were waiting here in advance.

At that moment, the media grabbed their microphones, almost shoving them into Zhou Yang's mouth.

"Zhou Yang, I've heard you and Gulnazar have had quite a few rumors going on. What's going on?"

"Zhou Yang, there are rumors that you have feelings for men. What's your opinion on this?"

"Brother Yang, after filming 'The Matrix' is over, what direction do you plan to take in the future?"

"I've heard that many variety shows have invited you to participate. What are your thoughts on this?"

"Zhou Yang, there are rumors that the rapid pace of your film's production is for a specific purpose. What exactly is the intention behind this film?"

"..."

Suddenly, a barrage of questions was directed at Zhou Yang. After a moment's thought, Zhou Yang smiled and said, "This is a public place, not suitable for interviews. Please wait patiently until the film's promotional event, when I will invite you all."

Just kidding. If he were to answer all the questions from so many reporters, it would probably take forever. Besides, there are two beautiful goddesses waiting for him at home.

Moreover, Fat Di just called him and said they were waiting for him at home!
Zhou Yang is now eagerly looking forward to going home!

The reporters agreed with Zhou Yang's answer.

Moreover, Zhou Yang promised to invite them during the film's promotion, so he naturally wouldn't break his promise.

The media reporters made room for Zhou Yang, took several photos of him, and allowed him to move freely.

After some time, Zhou Yang returned home.

He held the key, unlocked the door, and prepared to experience the surprise the two women had carefully prepared.

However, he had just returned home when he received a call from Nolan.

"Zhou, the special effects for the movie are all done, and the effects are amazing. Do you want me to send them to you to take a look?"

Zhou Yang was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected the special effects for "The Matrix" to be completed so quickly.

"Okay, please send it to my email."

"no problem."

After the call ended, the two women surrounded him.

"Special effects from The Matrix? I want to see that too!" Zhang Jingyi exclaimed excitedly.

"I want to see too!"

Fat Di added.

Nolan quickly sent the film's special effects to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang turned on his computer and began to check, while the two women waited quietly to the side.

After the video finished downloading, Zhou Yang clicked the play button.

In the next instant, the screen lit up, and a dark, dreamlike scene appeared before our eyes.

The sheer scale of the visuals and the dazzling action sequences captivated the two women.

"Wow, this is so amazing! It's like the end of the world has come!" Fatty Di exclaimed in amazement.

"And it's so realistic, it feels like you're really experiencing the apocalypse!" Zhang Jingyi exclaimed.

Zhou Yang smiled slightly and raised his head, saying, "Of course, these visual effects cost over two hundred million US dollars. How can they compare to those poorly made domestic films?"

Both women nodded in agreement; these special effects undoubtedly surpassed any previous Chinese film.

Meanwhile, the trailer for the movie "The Matrix" has already been released on the internet.

The promotional video incorporates a variety of eye-catching visual effects and explores the deeper meaning of the real world, making it both captivating and profound.

This promotional video immediately won unanimous praise from netizens upon its release.

"Holy crap, these special effects are amazing!"

"It's absolutely stunning! It's like watching a Hollywood blockbuster!"

"The special effects are so realistic that it's almost impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion!"

"Holy crap, Yang is so handsome!"

"What attracts me is not just the special effects, but also the philosophical principles they contain!"

"I give it full marks! I must support it!"

"..."
