MTL - You Made Me a Superstar-Chapter 507 Intimidation and inducement?

   Chapter 507 Coercion?

hang up the phone.

   Zheng Jun's expression was dazed.

   The experience of "American Gangster History" is very similar to the years when I won the award at the Russian Film Festival many years ago.

   is very honorable, but when he was about to step into the peak, he was severely poured a basin of cold water.

  The cold water froze through the bone marrow, as if it had penetrated into the depths of the soul, making people shiver.

   The past ten years have been the most painful ten years.

   Kong has a talent, but he can only let the years go by, watching the movie theaters showing bad films, but none of them are his own works, and even in the list of Huaxia directors, he is on the blacklist.

   How many days and nights have you spent in unwillingness and pain?

   He began to compromise, began to regret, and even reflected in depression for a time...

   But the reality is very cruel. There are too many underappreciated people in this world, and he is just one of these people, nothing more.

  The sun shines on Zheng Jun's face, Zheng Jun wakes up from his memory, then put on a suit, put on a hat and walked out the door.

   A Lamborghini parked in front of the door.

   A slender blonde in sunglasses greeted him from the cab.

   He took a few more glances at the slender blonde, and then got into the co-pilot.

   The other party is the person in charge of the Fox movie block. His name is Linda. Although she is 30 years old this year, she is quite charming in both body and appearance, especially the perfume on her body, which makes Zheng Jun a little obsessed.

"Mr. Zheng Jun, you are really the best, most charming and most talented Huaxia director I have ever seen... I have been shocked by your amazing knowledge since I saw "American Gangster History", I am honored to invite you to sit My co-pilot..."

   in the car.

  Linda complimented Zheng Jun. Although Zheng Jun was a little defensive, he was still blown away, and for a time he was a little self-absorbed.

   Fragrant car beauty, winner in life...

   This is something that Jung Joon can only think of in his dreams when he is at a low point.

   Zheng Jun unconsciously followed Linda's rhythm and chatted with Linda. The more he chatted, the more lost Zheng Jun found himself.

  Linda is quite knowledgeable, especially when it comes to movies, Linda can always express her own unique insights, these insights surprised Zheng Jun, and then she seemed to have found a confidant, and she couldn't help but opened the chat box.

   The chat along the way was very pleasant. The brief contact made Zheng Jun deeply trapped and unable to extricate himself. Even when he arrived at the door of Fox, Zheng Jun felt that his legs were soft.

like…

   The dream is almost coming true.

   He followed Linda up the stairs and came to Linda's office.

When sitting in the chair, he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. Whether it was the soothing music playing in the office or Linda's admiring and admiring eyes, Zheng Jun felt the satisfaction of being a successful person. , and even, I don't know since when, the sense of alertness on his body disappeared completely.

   "We at Fox need talents, especially in 2008, we had several movie investment plans, all of which were plans for more than 200 million US dollars..."

  Linda started talking about Fox's plans for 2008. Zheng Jun was pleasantly surprised by every plan. The other party seemed to have hit his vitals and chatted with him about sci-fi blockbusters.

   The feeling of being a confidant is getting stronger and stronger, and Zheng Jun even has a desire to talk...

   Confessing that I have encountered too many announcements in China over the years, confiding about the hard times during that time, and how difficult it is to confide in myself.

   But he finally held back.

Linda, on the other hand, blinked her beautiful big eyes, looked at him seriously, and when he was silent, she talked about his experience in China over the years, and said the movie that he won in Russia. The film expresses sympathy and regret from time to time, saying that some directors of Huaxia are simply "eyeless", "arrogant" and "cover the sky with only one hand".

   She understands Chinese idioms very well, and from her mouth, Zheng Jun feels that his bones are a little soft.

   Zheng Jun finally controlled himself and kept himself calm: "I will not leave Mr. Zhou Yang, nor will I turn my back on my country."

   "I always feel that you need a bigger platform. Following Mr. Zhou Yang, you can't display your talents..."

"I do not think so…"

"It's a fact, it's very difficult for Mr. Zhou Yang to survive in Hollywood. The movie "Spider-Man" can't get any resources in Hollywood. At the same time, "The History of American Gangsters", Mr. Zheng Jun, let me tell you the truth Well, if "American Gangster History" is an American movie, this movie will become a great classic movie in the film industry. It will not only receive an invitation from the Oscars, but will also be praised by countless people in future generations. At the same time, you will There will be countless believers, and they will all look at you with adoring eyes...but unfortunately, it is not..."

   Zheng Jun fantasized about countless pictures for a moment, and his eyes were uncertain.

   I have lived at the bottom for too many years and have endured for too many years.

   He is very eager to reach the top of the movie and leave his name in this era.

"It can only be shown in a small theater chain. Although there are many fans, it will gradually be forgotten, and some people will be amazed, but soon these amazements will gradually be buried... Buried with you, you come to Hollywood, It's like a dream. After you wake up, you are still the little director who is unknown... In this industry, there will be many talented directors emerging next year. You may think that you can stand out with your talent, and you will be better after returning to China. But you are no longer young...and you may not have the opportunity to return to Hollywood again in this life...because the real right to speak is in the hands of those of us, we think a classic movie is a classic, it can on the Oscars..."

   Zheng Jun knew that what she said was true.

   Zheng Jun's face was complicated, and his eyes were also complicated.

   Looking at Zheng Jun's silent appearance, Linda didn't say any more, but continued to talk about the conditions that Fox offered with a smile.

   There is no doubt that every condition is very tempting…

"If you think that leaving Mr. Zhou Yang is a kind of betrayal, then you are wrong, each of us is an individual, free, and no one owes anyone, as long as you come over, we will fight for " "American Gangster History" more resources, it's still a classic movie..."

  "..." Zheng Jun was silent.

   After seeing Zheng Jun's silence, Linda didn't say anything, just made Zheng Jun a cup of tea, giving Zheng Jun enough time to think.

  ………………

  November 22 at noon.

   Zhou Yang lay down in the office for a while.

   After staying up all night, people will be somewhat tired.

   A knock on the door woke him up, and when he got up, he saw Zheng Jun come out with a complicated look in his eyes.

   After seeing Zheng Jun's complicated eyes, Zhou Yang woke up with a smile on his face: "What's wrong? Is it going well?"

   "The other party's offer is very tempting, so tempting that one can't resist..." Zheng Jun forced a smile, then sat on the sofa where Zhou Yang had been lying before, and closed his eyes.

   "Oh, talk about it?" Zhou Yang's smile remained unchanged, still looking at Zheng Jun.

   In the past two years, he has experienced a lot, and he is used to seeing some people coming and some leaving.

   These things made him feel uneasy, no matter what choice Zheng Jun made, Zhou Yang felt that it didn't matter.

"I don't know what to say... President Zhou, the treatment at Fox is really good. We Chinese people, who have not joined the American Film Union, are destined to be bullied and discriminated everywhere. Although Christian is to a certain extent He can help us, but in the face of such a behemoth as the eight major Hollywood film companies, there is no way he can do anything..." Zheng Jun looked up at the ceiling and muttered to himself: "In these years, I have encountered too many in China. So many things, I used to be ambitious, ambitious, and even the day before yesterday, I was so confident that I could prove to the world that I was going to be a great director, but...I realized again that I might need to be realistic Bow your head and compromise with reality..."

   Zhou Yang listened.

   felt that Zheng Jun suddenly became a little decadent.

   He wanted comfort.

   But there was no comfort for a while, so he could only look at Zheng Jun.

"Mr. Zhou, why don't we talk to Fox, Miss Linda of Fox is actually very optimistic about you, she has always wanted to chat with you... She also told me that the real person behind the scenes is Zhao Sicheng, these suppressions Zhao Sicheng told some people about your affairs, Zhao Sicheng became a lobbyist, explained your harm, and said that you disrupted Hollywood's layout of China..."

   "Isn't Zhao Sicheng unable to get along in the United States, why..."

   "Some people saw that Zhao Sicheng was deeply involved with some directors of Huaxia, and they hoped that Zhao Sicheng could be an intermediary..."

   "Traitors?"

"That's probably what it means... But other things, Linda didn't tell me, these things, she also took the risk to tell me, now Hollywood's attitude towards you basically wants to crush you, um, before The "Chainsaw" incident, because of the protests of some black people, offended another white congressman, Sergey, who has a lot of energy behind him... In short, I can only say so much, Linda said that if you want, she will use relationship protection I'll take you down... and I will try my best to get you to join the director's union, if you can change your nationality, that's the best, if you don't want to change your nationality, it doesn't matter, Mr. Zhou, how do you think about it?" Zheng Jun said a lot of things , looked at Zhou Yang.

   The smile on Zhou Yang's face gradually stiffened, but he looked out the window without saying a word.

   "The pressure of the whole Hollywood is overwhelmed, and we can't bear it. Unless "Spider-Man" can pull an actor from the street to play...otherwise, we have nothing to do..."

  “…”

   "Mr. Zhou, this is reality. Although it is cruel, we have no choice..."

  “…”

   Zheng Jun said a lot, but after seeing that Zhou Yang was still silent, he finally stopped talking.

   "Director Zheng, if I refuse, what will you choose?" Zhou Yang looked at Zheng Jun.

   Zheng Jun's eyes were cloudy and uncertain, with a wry smile on his face, and lowered his head: "Are you really going to be tough?"

"What do you think?"

   Zheng Jun didn't answer, but heaved a long sigh and fell into a long silence.

   About ten minutes later…

   He raised his head and smiled even more bitterly: "It should have left you, this is the best choice, but I don't know what's going on, I seem a little irrational..."
