Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 617 Encountered a Problem

Soon after, this incident became the focus of entertainment news, much to the regret of many unsuspecting domestic fans.

"#Entertainment Headlines: Spider-Man's value has declined significantly! But Zhou Yang actually acquired Spider-Man for $20 billion! A sucker in the real-name system?#"

"#Insider information: The current Spider-Man is completely different from the character he was in Marvel back then! The current image is disappointing! I never expected Marvel to buy Spider-Man so recklessly! I can only sigh for Zhou Yang!"

"#CircleEightMaster: The Spider-Man who once collaborated with Marvel is gone! Due to Disney's interference, the previous glory was ruined! Now, Zhou Yang has brought Spider-Man back to Marvel for $20 billion! Is this good news or bad news?!#"

"..."

This news quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens, and a barrage of negative comments followed.

"This is outrageous!! Zhou Yang is truly unique in giving money to foreigners like this! 666!"

"This person must have gotten their head stuck in a door! If I had that kind of money, I would never spend it on something like this!"

"Zhou Yang is hopeless! I see news about him every day, it's so annoying!"

"Wasn't he supposed to be a rising star in Chinese cinema? This IQ makes me wonder if he's even alive now!"

"Does he really enjoy giving money to foreigners? Spending so much money to buy a terrible Spider-Man?"

"It's unbearable to watch! How much money people have and what they spend it on is their business!"

"Although I don't agree with Zhou Yang's approach, it's his choice, and I have no right to interfere! Everyone, let's all keep quiet!"

"..."

Zhou Yang chose to ignore these negative comments. He is currently busy filming his new movie.

While studying the script, Zhou Yang discovered that the character of Green Goblin Harry Osborn was a perfect fit for Hu Ge.

Zhou Yang immediately dialed Lao Hu's number, which was answered after ringing for a few seconds.

"Hey? Xiao Yang, what's up?" Old Hu asked.

Old Hu guessed that Zhou Yang might have a good role to recommend to him, after all, their long-standing friendship made him particularly interested in this kind of thing.

Lao Hu did not try to dissuade Zhou Yang from acquiring Spider-Man, because he understood that Zhou Yang must have his own reasons for doing so.

Zhou Yang was delighted to hear Lao Hu's voice and said directly, "Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong? I have a new role I'd like to offer you, what do you think?"

Old Hu had already anticipated this news and joked, "What kind of role? It's not like I'm asking you to be my dad, is it?"

This is actually a good idea!

Zhou Yang's eyes lit up, but he still replied seriously, "You should know that I recently acquired Spider-Man. I want to make a Spider-Man movie, and there's a role for you as one of my best buddies. Are you brave enough to play it?"

Old Hu excitedly patted his leg and replied, "How could it not work! I'm going crazy from being cooped up at home! Haha!"

"Are you even capable? As a man, why don't you get a girlfriend?"

"Finding a girlfriend can take its time! I still prefer the outside world!"

"You bastard, humph!"

"..."

Having known Lao Hu for many years, Zhou Yang has gradually grown from a young man who helped Lao Hu to the person he is today.

However, Lao Hu's identity remained unchanged; he was still single, living like a left-behind child. When the female lead was mentioned, she immediately thought of the well-proportioned Dilraba Dilmurat, whose delicate and sculpted face perfectly matched the role.

Three days later, Zhou Yang and his team built their ideal set in a film studio in Shanghai.

Zhou Yang had planned everything in advance. Some scenes needed to be filmed on location, while others could only be filmed using a green screen. Lighting was also a top priority.

The Shanghai Film City was chosen because of its excellent lighting conditions, which are suitable for both shooting live-action scenes and using green screens.

Of course, if it is necessary to go to other places to scout locations, Zhou Yang will never sacrifice quality due to time constraints.

The team remains the same as before, with excellent teamwork. For the assistant director position, Zhou Yang contacted Guo Fan, with whom he has a long-term working relationship.

In front of the camera, Zhou Yang confirmed the shooting position, and everything went smoothly.

However, there was one scene that Zhou Yang found challenging, requiring him to capture the atmosphere of the Times Square market.

At this moment, Lao Hu had changed his clothes and was wearing a pair of retro glasses, instantly exuding an elegant and retro temperament.

Seeing Zhou Yang's troubled expression, Lao Hu immediately stepped forward and joked, "Are you looking constipated in front of the camera? What's wrong?"

Zhou Yang glanced at him sideways, wondering if she should bring up the sweet potato porridge he had with her this morning.

Right now, the two of us should be the least likely to be constipated, understand?
"To film this Times Square, you need to choose a location with lots of people and a large space to create a sense of realism!" Zhou Yang said helplessly.

Old Hu, being a veteran actor who had been acting since his teens, had a lot of experience in this area, so he suggested, "Have you heard of Shanghai Plaza? There are so many people there! And the space is spacious; passersby can just hand out some money to the extras, it's great!"

Zhou Yang thought the idea was good, but there was still one problem that hadn't been solved.

“Although this suggestion is good, there’s one thing that hasn’t been handled properly, which is that some scenes require children to act in them, you know?” Zhou Yang said, looking at Lao Hu.

Old Hu looked confused. "What do you want me to do?"
Don't you think you should handle this yourself?
Zhou Yang immediately noticed Lao Hu's expression and knew that this guy wanted him to take on this trouble.

Old Hu rolled his eyes dismissively, thinking to himself that he was really happy.

Zhou Yang then contacted Chen Tianzhen. Within half an hour, Chen Tianzhen brought 100 children aged 9 to 11, whose task was to be frightened into crying or screaming.

The presence of so many children was precisely to make the whole scene appear exceptionally realistic, which was exactly the effect Zhou Yang wanted to achieve.

As a seasoned agent in the industry, Chen Tianzhen needs to put in some effort, but it's not too difficult for him.

……

During the actual filming, Zhou Yang personally guided the camera switching, from which Guo Fan benefited greatly.

The campus scenes in the film were all temporarily built in Shanghai, as Zhou Yang always strived for a realistic effect.

Fat Di arrived at the dressing room early, and her fair skin and slender legs allowed her to complete her makeup quickly.

However, upon seeing her appear wearing denim shorts, Zhou Yang circled around her.

Fatty Di scratched her head, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong, Zhou Yang?"

“Something’s still missing! Have Sister Wei dye her hair a sophisticated red!” Zhou Yang raised his chin, finally understanding the gap between his appearance and the script.

Half an hour later, when Dilraba reappeared, she instantly dazzled everyone; she truly is a goddess-level presence.

Her vibrant red hair made her look even more delicate, instantly attracting the attention of the staff present.
