Chapter 397: The Collision Is About To Begin!

Chapter 397 The collision is about to begin!

August 15th at six o’clock in the morning.

Django woke up from his sleep.

Refreshed.

He has rarely slept so well since the release of “Nightcrawler”.

After getting up, having breakfast, and returning to the office, the assistant was already waiting in the office early.

“Night Walker’s box office was 17 million yesterday, and it was released for 13 days. The total box office exceeded 200 million, ranking the top five in the domestic box office of Chinese films…”

“The box office of “Infernal Affairs” fell by 3 million to 27 million. However, the box office is close to 120 million. It may be difficult to surpass “Infernal Affairs” locally.”

Django drew the curtains.

A beam of sunlight shone into the office through the window, dispelling the haze that had accumulated in my heart for a long time.

Even after learning that “Infernal Affairs” still had a box office of 27 million, he didn’t feel any depression in his heart.

“Our overseas box office is four times that of “Infernal Affairs”. Thanks to our overseas publicity investment, the popularity of “Night Walker” is gradually increasing…”

“”Infernal Affairs” is facing the next painting in many overseas regions, and North America has even notified the next painting, and made some space for “Superman 2″…”

“”Infernal Affairs” is too much. This time it’s a big somersault overseas. It’s a joke.”

“…”

The assistant    turned the page on the overseas box office.

There is a sense of fun and excitement in my heart, and I am very happy with laughter.

Django uncharacteristically did not laugh, but took over the data and looked at the overseas box office status of “Infernal Affairs” and the news that “Infernal Affairs” was about to be taken down.

After seeing Django’s silent expression, the assistant also stopped smiling and became serious.

After a long time, Django put down the data sheet, turned his head and glanced out the window: “How is the layout of “Superman 2″?”

“The ranking of “Superman 2” occupies a part of the film of “Infernal Affairs”, so the box office of “Infernal Affairs” today should not be very good, even if all the seats are full, it is estimated that it will be in the early 20 million yuan. If it explodes, “Infernal Affairs” will have fewer films… Our “Night Walker” has not been affected much. Director Cao and other seniors have communicated with the theater party and the “Superman 2″ party once. Each of our theaters will have about one-fifth less of the lineup…”

“Director Jiang, “Infernal Affairs” cannot break the record of Chinese movies. With “Superman 2″ and our operation, its box office cap is up to 500 million! No, it should not reach 500 million!”

When he heard Django ask this sentence, the assistant was beaming with excitement as he talked about the various cinemas’ plans for “Superman 2”.

But I don’t know why, after seeing the disadvantage of “Infernal Affairs”, Django, the biggest winner, couldn’t be happy at all.

Obviously, on the European and American side, his own “Night Walker” has an absolute advantage. Obviously, on the Chinese side, under the conditions of this trade and the other, his side also has an advantage.

But Django was not happy, not even the thrill of getting revenge for a big revenge.

He hated it very much, and even hated Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang’s appearance deprived him of everything that should have belonged to him!

He even thought that if this was not a legal society, he even wanted to destroy Zhou Yang with a gun, or ask the killer to kill him without a trace!

However!

At this moment, he felt an inexplicable irritability.

“Is Superman 2 director James Lee’s lecture tonight?”

“That’s right! By the way, the premiere of Director Jiang’s “Superman 2″ is almost here, you need to pack up, it’s time for us to pass…”

“it is good.”

Django nodded, but the expression on his face did not change.

It’s just that the inexplicable irritability in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.

Obviously everything is fine…

Only by stepping on your opponent can you stand out!

But……

Is this really good?

…………………………

The premiere of “Superman 2” was very grand.

More than half of the directors of Huaxia have come.

The media gave “Superman 2” a very high evaluation, and before the premiere of the movie started, they regarded this movie as a near-milestone existence of a Hollywood movie.

Zhou Yang also received an invitation from “Superman 2”, but Zhou Yang did not come.

The organizer of “Superman 2” deliberately put a nameplate on Zhou Yang’s vacant position and placed it in a very conspicuous position.

Surrounded by the great directors, the vacancy was particularly eye-catching.

Actually, you can’t say that Superman 2 is intentionally disgusting…

Although Zhou Yang is very young today, his position in the Chinese director circle is not small. He is already on par with those veteran directors. In addition, it is now a hot time, so it is right for him to give him a prominent position. Respectful and reasonable?

But, you didn’t come…

“Perhaps the impact of “Infernal Affairs” in Europe and the United States has hit him too hard, and no one can accept this sense of gap… Understandable.”

“I can understand, but I can’t say that the layout is small. After all, the sudden insertion of “Superman 2” disrupted the rhythm of “Infernal Affairs”, but you can’t say that the “Superman 2” team is targeting “Infernal Affairs”. In the month’s schedule, there is actually a “Men in Black” overseas movie. Now “Men in Black” has been rescheduled, and “Superman 2” is launched, in a sense, it is to take over the position of “Men in Black”… ”

“August is not the month for the protection of domestic films, and various emergencies do exist…”Night Walker” has also been affected to a certain extent, but there is no way, we are a country of etiquette, and naturally we will not feel uneasy because of this friction. Balanced, look, isn’t this little Jiang here?”

“”Infernal Affairs” is indeed a very good movie, but how to say it? It is really unaccustomed in Europe and America…”

“I hope Xiao Zhou can come out soon, Xiao Zhou is a young Chinese director I admire very much…”

“…”

“Superman 2” premiere.

In the face of a group of media who are watching the fun and are not too serious, staring at the empty nameplate, the veteran directors of Huaxia either shook their heads and felt sorry, or sympathized, or felt that “Infernal Affairs” was born at the wrong time, although all of them were They all speak for Zhou Yang from Zhou Yang’s standpoint, but between the lines, words such as “pattern”, “gap” and ‘strike” are revealed.

Although the media know that Zhou Yang’s backstage is unusual, they can’t resist the temptation of “heat” and “traffic”…

Before the premiere conference of “Superman 2”, they frantically hyped [Zhou Yang was absent from the premiere of “Superman 2”], [“Infernal Affairs” failed in North America, and was on the verge of painting, Zhou Yang suffered a blow], [“Infernal Affairs” China may encounter a huge impact from “Superman 2”] and other topics.

The topic    explained the incident of “Zhou Yang’s absence from the premiere of “Superman 2” in a reasonable manner, and quoted the content of the words of many veteran directors in China, causing huge controversy.

With the support of Zhou Yang’s huge traffic, this series of topics has been fired up on the Internet…

【Shame and throw it abroad! 】

【What about the pattern? What about the pattern of being the first director of China? 】

【Can’t there be a little pattern? When you see someone show up and your box office is bad, you won’t come to their premiere? 】

The premiere of “Superman 2” was very lively.

Django watched the end of the premiere, and then walked into the first screening room. Before putting on the 3D glasses, Django saw a series of comments against Zhou Yang on the Internet.

Some of the comments are very vicious, even from Django’s standpoint, they feel that the comments are too much.

Although, the following series are all the scolding of Zhou Yang’s fans for these biased comments.

He glanced at Cao Bangguo next to him, but found that Cao Bangguo still had a smile on his face.

After hesitating for a while, he looked at Cao Bangguo.

“Uncle Cao… Zhou Yang’s rhythm on the Internet, have you seen it?”

“I didn’t see it, what happened?”

“Someone seems to be taking the rhythm…”

“Oh… Zhou Yang has responded?”

“No……”

“So you have to learn more about Xiao Zhou’s belly size, and you have to be flattered…”

“Uncle Cao, these things are not you, this time he didn’t come, is it you…”

“What do you think?” Cao Bangguo’s smile froze slightly, and he shook his head in disappointment: “Xiao Zhou, a young director I admire a lot, you have to learn more from him, and you have to understand the advantages of his “Infernal Affairs” , before he falls, you must be stronger than him in every way…”

“Fall?” Django seemed to hear something.

“The big tree attracts the wind, and when the limelight is in full swing, everyone is flattering, but I don’t know how many people hold grudges. He has moved too many people’s cakes, and he refuses to integrate. He is destined to stay in this circle for a long time… You Don’t learn from his so-called “arrogance”…”

Django looked at Cao Bangguo.

Cao Bangguo told him this series of words earnestly.

Django nodded.

But a sense of confusion flashed through his heart. He always felt that there was a net that was gradually shrouding Zhou Yang…

“Superman 2” tops the box office of Chinese movies, is it better than “Infernal Affairs”?”

he asked involuntarily.

After he asked this question, Cao Bangguo turned his head sharply, and then looked at him as if he had known Django for the first time, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes.

As if he couldn’t believe these words came out of his mouth.

“Of course it’s not good! So, you have to work hard so that the shadow of Hollywood movies no longer covers China. Not only do you have to learn Zhou Yang’s talents and abilities, you also have to study “Superman” well, you have to know why he succeeded, and more importantly I know if a movie was made for you, how would you make it like Superman…” Cao Bangguo looked at the confused Django, and then added: “Western Hollywood is preparing to make a series of superhero movies, “Superman 2″ is this Part of the franchise, and now they’re all in their infancy…”

“We also learn from them and make similar superhero movies?”

“Yes! Learn from the barbarians to master the barbarians, remember this sentence!”

“Um.”

……………………

“Superman 2” at the premiere.

On the other hand, Zhou Yang had already left Huaxia and came to Laomei, and followed Christian and others to discuss the release details of the Laomei version of “Infernal Affairs”…

After multiple communication…

Finally, when a few theaters are willing to paint under “Infernal Affairs”, the old American version of “Infernal Affairs” will premiere.

And, premiering on August 16th…
