Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 780 Give Me Some Face!
Zhou Yang did not expect that this film would cause such a sensation overseas, and many foreign netizens even chose to watch it again.

Many viewers also actively recommended the film on social media.

"Highly recommended! This is the best film I've seen recently! Everyone should definitely go and support it!"

"Anything produced by Zhou Yang is bound to be a masterpiece! It's absolutely brilliant, I give it a perfect score!"

"I never expected that Zhou Yang could portray the story of theft by ordinary people so profoundly. Everyone says this movie is funny, but I have to praise Zhou Yang's acting skills!"

"Highly recommended! It's absolutely the best film of the year, I give it a perfect score!!"

"Those who like me should all go watch 'Crazy Stone,' and after watching it, comment 'Honey, let's date!'"

"Ready for a second viewing! It's not the stones that's crazy, it's human nature! This comedy contains profound philosophical insights!"

"..."

Moreover, classic lines from "Crazy Stone" have been widely disseminated.

Let me tell you, when I was in middle school, my 12-meter sprint time was 5 seconds!

This is purely a moral issue, and I don't want to argue with you!

Is this a public restroom? Can you just come in and go as you please?

You not only insulted my character, but also my intelligence!

This is absolutely infuriating!

[A master of archery, a blend of East and West; if you were a designer, those other people would be out of a job!]

……

Amid this surge in popularity, the box office of "Crazy Stone" continued to climb.

This put pressure on other films released at the same time, who all regretted not paying more attention to Zhou Yang's schedule.

Today, their films are relegated to the background in the competition, and even basic facilities are inadequate.

I thought Zhou Yang's film production would take more than two months, but he completed it in just over a month.

Their investigation yielded no results, and the progress was even faster than the official announcement.

However, they also understood that Zhou Yang could not enter Hollywood, so they had to try to avoid his release dates.

In the office of a senior executive at Huayang Film and Television Media Company, Zhou Yang sneezed.

"Ah sneeze!!"

"Who is talking badly about me behind my back?"

Seeing Zhou Yang sneeze, Chen Tianzhen asked with concern, "Have you been too busy lately? The movie is still showing and you're already choosing scripts. Don't you need to take a break?"

"It's okay, Sister Tianzhen, you know I'm an iron man!" Zhou Yang said, showing off his muscles.

Chen Tianzhen smiled slightly, while Zhou Yang continued to flip through the scripts on the table and said, "There must be over a hundred of these, right?"

"Yes, about a hundred and some!" Chen Tianzhen nodded in confirmation.

Zhou Yang flipped through several scripts in succession, his brows gradually furrowing: "These scripts don't have any obvious problems, but the plots are all outdated! Sister Tianzhen, don't you have any better scripts? Sigh!"

After browsing through several scripts, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel helpless. Chen Tianzhen explained, "Most of these scripts are written by recent college graduates, and their writing lacks polish, so they seem outdated."

Zhou Yang nodded in agreement. Indeed, an experienced director would not compete with these young people for opportunities.

An hour later, Zhou Yang finally found a script that he was relatively satisfied with.

The words "New World" are prominently displayed.

Zhou Yang's impression of the work deepened, and despite the many shortcomings of the script, it was undoubtedly much better than the scripts he had seen before.

He felt the theme was quite novel and planned to shoot a high-quality film. Zhou Yang planned to communicate with the director immediately after making the selection, make revisions, and start filming.

After several hours of screening, he had only one script left.

At first, Zhou Yang thought that only this script was attractive, but when he saw the words on the script, his eyes lit up instantly.

The story of Hachiko, the loyal dog!

After quickly skimming through the script, Zhou Yang put down the book, feeling extremely excited.

At this moment, Chen Tianzhen poured Zhou Yang a cup of coffee. Seeing how excited he was, she asked curiously, "Have you found a good script? You look so excited!"

"This script tells the story of a Chinese rural dog and its owner! I've never tried this kind of subject matter before! And this script is really wonderful!" Zhou Yang was so moved that he could hardly contain himself, and his eyes were a little sore.

Hearing Zhou Yang say that, Chen Tianzhen curiously flipped through the script and suddenly said, "Chen Tiesheng? Is it someone with the same name?"

Zhou Yang was startled. This Chen Tiesheng was no ordinary person; his debut film was shortlisted for the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.

He was quite influential back then and was considered a strong contender for the Sixth Generation of directors. At that time, almost everyone knew Chen Tiesheng.

Zhou Yang was puzzled by this. Why would such an experienced middle-aged director submit a script to him?
Chen Tianzhen sighed. She shared Zhou Yang's thoughts, but she seemed to know more inside information.

"This Chen Tiesheng, he's been declining ever since his first film! The quality of his movies has been getting worse and worse, and his early success seems to have become a stumbling block for him!"

After listening to Chen Tianzhen's words, Zhou Yang finally understood.

It turns out that Chen Tiesheng had never been able to break through his own bottleneck, and the films he made later failed to achieve the effect he wanted. Investors were obviously unwilling to continue to work with him, and gradually no one was willing to invest in his films.

However, in this submission, Zhou Yang saw Chen Tiesheng's determination to rekindle his dream of becoming a director.

He thought to himself, "This is exactly the work I've been looking for!"
Seeing that Zhou Yang had chosen two films, Chen Tianzhen asked, "Which one are you planning to choose?"

Zhou Yang suddenly remembered "New World," but comparing the two, he felt that Chen Tiesheng needed this opportunity more. "Sister Tianzhen, could you please contact Chen Tianke, the author of 'New World'?" Zhou Yang said after careful consideration.

"Are you going to choose the New World?" Chen Tianzhen asked curiously.

Zhou Yang shook his head and replied, "Chen Tianke is indeed too young! Although his works have good subject matter, they always feel a bit too sharp and lack a sense of realism. There are still many problems to be solved in the script."

Chen Tianzhen nodded in agreement, believing that it was already quite remarkable for a young person who had just graduated to reach such a level.

However, compared with senior figures like Chen Tiesheng, Chen Tianke's competitiveness is clearly insufficient.

"Then what's the point of you making me make this call?" she asked, puzzled.

Zhou Yang smiled and replied, "Of course, it's to help him improve. I told him that to write truly excellent scripts, you have to be closer to life. His scripts are too detached from reality, so I suggested he go out and see the real world more often before creating!"

Chen Tianzhen suddenly realized: "I understand! I'll go call him right now!"
