I'm just trying to ride the wave of popularity!

Chapter 34 Complete Madness?

evening.

[Feihe Cinema] By the window in the office.

Director Shen Long glanced at the grumbling audience below...

He lit a cigarette and took a drag with great frustration.

Oh shit!

He aspired to become a great director and pursued his dream, but he actually made this movie!
They're a menace to society!
He closed his eyes bitterly.

My life is probably over!
wrong!

I……

He opened his eyes and looked at the script of "Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen" not far away.

She looked at Zhou Yang with a sense of frustration.

At this moment...

Zhou Yang was leaning against another window, holding his cell phone, trying to find a signal while making a call.

"Yes, yes, I want a big one, absolutely a big one, preferably one that wobbles..."

"I don't do that kind of thing, I'm not that kind of person, but you guys in 'Love Ferris Wheel' all know about handsome men and beautiful women, wouldn't it be great if our movie had more innocent female college students?"

"Yes, the new movie is definitely going to be exciting, otherwise who would watch it?"

"No, it's not that kind of passion..."

"..."

It seemed like the call was disconnected.

Zhou Yang shook his head speechlessly and put down his phone.

Seeing this, Shen Long took a deep breath, his gaze becoming even more aggrieved as he looked at Zhou Yang: "President Zhou, we really want to... film that kind of... that kind of..."

Before he could say two words, his face turned bright red and he couldn't continue!

"Go ahead and take pictures. Didn't you notice how excited the movie fans were after we started handing out tickets? Don't you want to make money?"

"But, that...that's level three...I...I can't do it..." Shen Long trembled slightly, his face as white as a sheet of paper.

"Wait, Director Shen, what are you thinking? We're making a proper movie, why would I let you make that kind of movie?"

"But you specifically asked them for pure female 'college' students..." Shen Long shrank back, his face turning red.

"You like watching ugly women as the female lead?"

"I did not mean that……"

"Don't worry, we're making a legitimate movie. We don't do any of those weird or crooked things. I'm just like you; I have dreams and I pursue art!" Zhou Yang patted his head.

"Oh, oh..." Shen Long nodded.

Just at this time……

There was a knock on the office door.

Immediately afterwards...

Ding Rong, whose head had already been shaved, walked over with his face flushed red.

"Mr. Zhou, I heard that next, we're going to shoot that kind of movie, that kind of movie?" Ding Rong asked, looking down shyly at Zhou Yang.

"Yes!"

"I heard you're looking for a pure, innocent female college student to play the lead role?"

"Yes...what's wrong?"

"I, I... I can't do it, I, I can't get past my mental hurdle..." Ding Rong coughed lightly, sat down on the chair next to him, and became even more hesitant!
This former production assistant inexplicably became the lead actor in a movie, and was then inexplicably told to play the "flower monk" in the new film!
It felt like a dream!
"You couldn't get over your mental block, so you just shaved your head?" Zhou Yang stared at his shiny bald head, somewhat stunned.

"I, I...I...I didn't know we were going to film that kind of thing, I..." Ding Rong's face turned even redder, and he couldn't utter a single fart even after trying for a long time!
Just yesterday, when he learned that he would be starring in a film with explicit content alongside an innocent female college student, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

I've been single for so many years, and I'm still a virgin. How could I possibly film that kind of... thing?

When I opened my eyes this morning, I felt that my hair was the reason I couldn't sleep, so I shaved my head completely bald.

"Okay, it's not the kind of movie you're thinking of... We're going to go through proper censorship and be released in regular theaters..."

"Then why did the movie 'Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen' premiere at midnight?"

"Can't a serious movie premiere at midnight?"

"I……"

"What's with that disappointed look on your face? You don't actually think I'm going to make you take off your underwear and act in one of those 'high-octane' movies with an innocent college girl, do you?"

"I, I, I'm not, I, I... I mean, I..." Ding Rong was so embarrassed when he heard this that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into...

"Alright! I've found you guys to be really despicable, always thinking about all sorts of nonsense... Alright, Director Shen, have you finished writing the script yet?"

"I can't write it, I, I..."

"No inspiration?" Zhou Yang looked at Shen Long, who seemed dazed.

Shen Long stared at the title of the movie script, "Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen," with a look of deep resentment, and finally nodded. Damn it!

How could he possibly have any inspiration for this kind of film?

"I've already given you a hint: it needs to be exciting, it needs to excite men and make women blush... and it's showing in the middle of the night, it's already very obvious!"

"Mr. Zhou, are you sure you don't want us to film those kinds of Category III movies? I..."

"Oh dear, why is your thinking so limited? Does it have to be that kind of movie? Aren't supernatural movies shown in the middle of the night?"

"What? This name? Are we making a supernatural movie?" The cigarette butt at the corner of Shen Long's mouth instantly slipped off, and his pupils shrank sharply.

He felt like he was going crazy!

"Yes, as Hong Kong films have gradually declined, martial arts films and supernatural films have gradually faded away. Director Shen, as a talented person with dreams, have you never thought about saving these two genres and becoming a great hero?"

Shen Long's eyes were glazed over, and his mind felt completely blank.

What is President Zhou saying?
Zhou Yang walked to the window, looked at the setting sun, pushed up his glasses slightly, and smiled: "Yes, our films need to be creative, to build on the past and usher in the future. They need to have the heritage and depth of the old era, as well as the exploratory spirit of the young people of the new era. They need to carry on the past and open up the future, and integrate them. In this way, we will create a new genre for Chinese films, which is martial arts and supernatural!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Long stared dumbfounded at the script of "Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen"!

What the hell is this martial arts and supernatural stuff?

Ding Rong's ears were ringing, and he felt a current rushing towards him along the script of "Lin Daiyu vs. Lu Zhishen"!

His scalp tingled instantly!
Just at this time……

Zhou Yang's phone rang.

Zhou Yang glanced at his phone, then looked at the two dejected men in the office, and smiled as if he had just thought of something: "Gentlemen, this time the budget is very generous, I'll give you 8 yuan! Of course, this time, the time is also quite ample, you have a full twenty days to shoot the film... Twenty days to polish it up properly... I suddenly remembered that the Venice International Film Festival starts in August, right? After we finish shooting this film, we'll go to Venice for the premiere! Let those foreigners see our talent!"

? ? ? ?
Shen Long looked at Zhou Yang as if he'd seen a ghost, gasped, and pointed incredulously at himself: "Me...we? To the Venice International Film Festival, for the premiere? This...movie that took twenty days to make?"

"Correct!"

..............................

night.

It's too deep.

The opening day box office figures for "Monkey King vs. Superman 2" have not yet been released.

In the chairman's office of Feihe Cinema, sat several shifty-looking young men.

The leader was Li Dongqiang, who was involved in pirated movies.

"Everyone!"

"Everyone, let me introduce myself..."

"My name is Zhou Yang. I am a director, screenwriter, and CEO of an entertainment company..."

"Today, despite my busy schedule, I have only one purpose in inviting you all here..."

"I've received a rumor that the government is about to launch an unprecedented crackdown on pirated movies!"

"Gentlemen, the situation is extremely serious! You can't keep doing piracy forever; you'll be sued sooner or later!"

"From now on, we need to transform!"

"I happen to have a batch of genuine DVD copies here!"

"..."

Zhou Yang looked at the group of shifty-eyed young people and smiled. Then, he asked actor Chen Jianfeng to bring over a box of DVDs.

Li Dongqiang suppressed his shock and looked at the names of the discs!

Superman 2

Superman 2: The Secret Mission

Superman II: Invincible!

Superheroes 2

Super Monkey King 2

Superman: The Monkey King 2

Ghost Rider 2

Mechanical Knight Superman...

……

He prided himself on being knowledgeable and having a strong mentality, but he was still completely stunned by these explosive names.

In particular, when he saw a disc titled "Beasts and Supergirl 2: Passionate Bed Battle" next to a stack of discs, his hand holding the disc trembled slightly...

Followed by.

He stared at Zhou Yang as if he'd seen a ghost...
