Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 581: Filming Inception?
The two were discussing cooperation matters, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Shortly afterward, a statement about filming Spider-Man surfaced online, sparking heated discussions.

"#SonyMovies: Our Spider-Man movie with Disney is about to start filming, with an investment of $3 million and starring Matt Damon! This is definitely a project full of sincerity! We never cram at the last minute, we only want to present the best results! @DisneyOfficial#" Almost simultaneously, Disney's official account also retweeted this news.

"#DisneyOfficial: Stay tuned for our work!! We only produce the highest quality content!#"

There was a hint of sarcasm in these remarks, which industry insiders naturally understood, as Zhou Yang's works have always had short production cycles!

"Disney and Sony teaming up! This is exciting! Both are established film studios!"

"I don't deny the amazing chemistry between Marvel and Spider-Man, but I'm also looking forward to this collaboration between the two companies!!"

"I support this project! After all, it's my favorite Spider-Man, and I believe Zhou Yang lost the opportunity to collaborate because he was too confident!"

"The comment upstairs has already sentenced Zhou Yang to death? Do you even know the truth of the matter? If you don't understand the whole story, you need to be careful what you say!"

"Sharpening your spear at the last minute? Is this a sarcastic remark about Zhou Yang?"

"What kind of hero only knows how to make sarcastic remarks? Our Brother Yang speaks frankly and never resorts to these petty tricks!"

"Matt Damon stars! It feels like Brother Yang is facing a lot of danger this time!"

"..."

While the two companies were active online these past few days, Zhou Yang was at home buried in writing his script.

Two days later, Disney and Sony held a grand press conference in the capital of the United States.

The event attracted media from home and abroad, and its large scale clearly indicated a huge investment.

On that day, superstar Matt Damon also made a personal appearance, creating an unprecedented buzz.

The sheer scale of the event caught the attention of Zhou Yang, who was engrossed in his work, but he paid it no mind.

No matter how much money is invested or how grand the scale is, it's all in vain without outstanding works.

Soon after, information about Spider-Man spread widely on the internet.

Videos of the press conference have been leaked one after another. Although the work has not yet been released, the publicity work has been done quite well.

Domestic and international media outlets seized upon this trend, vying to report on it online.

"#CircleEightMaster: Disney and Sony team up to launch Spider-Man, investing up to $3 million! Zhou Yang's Huayang Film & Media faces new challenges! Is Marvel no longer Disney's competitor?#"

"#EntertainmentDaily: A grand press conference was held in the US, focusing on the Spider-Man collaboration between Disney and Sony! This press conference fully demonstrated the determination of both companies. Between the veteran film studio and Zhou Yang, who will ultimately prevail?"

"#A day's work is not as good as a hundred days' work: Zhou Yang encounters his biggest opponent yet! Can Disney achieve a comeback with Spider-Man? Zhou Yang has had a smooth ride for years, is he really indifferent to this challenge? What will the results be after a year's wait?#"

"..."

Many fans online believe that Zhou Yang is complacent and that if he doesn't seize the opportunity to strike now, when will he?
"Zhou Yang is really getting cocky! He's definitely no match for these two established film studios! Need I say more? Plus, they have superstars joining them!"

"I'm not targeting Zhou Yang! I just think he's too arrogant. How can he speak so recklessly without knowing his own strength? It's really disgusting!"

"I admire Brother Yang's attitude! He faces difficulties with a positive attitude! He's always been like that! Whether you like it or not is irrelevant!"

"I don't think so. I believe Brother Yang can win! There's nothing he can't do!"

"Do you understand the concept of turning the tide when things are going badly? Brother Yang will definitely win!"

"666! Zhou Yang's fans are still desperately struggling! Isn't this an obvious reality?"

"The comment upstairs is wrong! Where is the reality? Where is the finished product? Using this kind of gimmick, people will think he's already filmed it!"

"..."

Three days later, Zhou Yang finally finished his script.

He stretched, and Fatty Di handed him a glass of hot milk, saying gently, "Honey, you must be exhausted! Have some milk and relax!" Zhou Yang was touched by this scene and thought to himself, what more could he ask for than a wife like this?
Zhou Yang was very efficient at work. He glanced at the script on the table and immediately thought of his old friend Christopher Nolan. He dialed the number, and it was answered a few seconds later. Nolan's enthusiastic voice came from the other end of the line.

"Oh, dear Zhou, you're calling me because you have a movie you'd like me to direct?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang replied with a smile, "Director Nolan, can't I just miss you?"

Nolan had known him for many years and knew his style of doing things well. "Buddy, don't I know you?"

Zhou Yang touched his nose and said directly, "I have a great script that I'd like you to give me your guidance on. What do you think?"

A glint flashed in Nolan's eyes. If Zhou Yang called it a good script, then it must be true.

Send it to my email!

"It's already in your email!"

"Great!"

The sound of typing could be heard on the other end of the phone, followed by a period of silence.

Then came the sound of a chair scraping across the floor. Nolan stood up excitedly and exclaimed, "This script is absolutely fantastic! The person who wrote it is a genius!"

Zhou Yang coughed shyly and said, "That genius is me."

Nolan praised Zhou from the bottom of his heart: "Zhou, you are absolutely the greatest genius of this era! Director, actor, screenwriter, you are truly amazing!"

"How could it be such an exaggeration?"

Zhou Yang immediately interrupted, "Wait a minute! Can you just say whether it's okay or not?"

On the phone, Nolan excitedly replied, "Zhou, we're good friends! Who else would you give this script to but me? Even if you don't pay me, I still want to make it!"

For a director, such a high-quality script is a rare opportunity.

Zhou Yang smiled slightly and said, "Of course!"

"That's great!" Nolan exclaimed.

"Looking forward to our next collaboration!"

"By the way, what's the name of this movie?"

"Inception".

"..."

Three days later, Zhou Yang confirmed the female lead and personally called Dilraba.

Fat Di was surprised that Zhou Yang would call her, and filled with excitement, she immediately agreed.

Soon, Zhou Yang and his creative team arrived in Dongjin, the capital of R country, by plane.

Nolan arrived at the airport early and personally came with his assistant to pick him up.

After a brief hug, Nolan said happily, "Zhou, long time no see! You've gotten even more handsome! Haha!"

"Are you trying to please me on purpose for the sake of the script?" Zhou Yang teased dramatically, feeling that Nolan had become a completely different person.

Nolan patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder and said earnestly, "I really mean it!"

Zhou Yang thought to himself: How can I find this so hard to believe?
Next, Zhou Yang introduced the female lead, Dilraba, to Nolan.

Upon meeting the renowned director Christopher Nolan, Dilraba excitedly exclaimed, "Director Nolan, I've heard so much about you!"
