Chapter 432 I Can Have It Anytime I Want! (The Third Update! Extra Update for Smashing the Stress Monster!)

Lacey stood quietly beside Zhang Sheng.

He didn't dare to look at anyone, and was as reserved as a little puppy in the deep jungle, not knowing what kind of danger he would face in the future.

People's faces will generally change.

When he was the king of the underground in Rossinia, Leo John had a fierce face. He looked at everyone as if he was looking at fish on the chopping board. He would lick his lips slightly, which would make people feel inexplicably scared.

Inevitably, he became notorious, and was even demonized as a "cannibal demon" who ate children in the slums of Brazil.

The first time Leo John saw him was when he was about ten years old. At that time, Leo John led a group of armed lunatics through the muddy alleys of the slums.

At that moment, his parents hurriedly pulled him into the house...

Then...

He heard a sharp gunshot.

The gunshot almost pierced his eardrums. For a long time, that memory tortured him like a nightmare.

In the office.

Leo John was fat, but he looked at Lacey with a kind expression and asked Lacey a few words in a friendly manner.

After seeing Lacey answer respectfully, he vaguely felt that this young man was quite familiar.

Later, he thought about it and remembered that this young man had been on stage as an award presenter at the first Southern California International Film Awards...

"Mr. Lacey..."

"Yes, Mr. Zhang Sheng..."

"Sit down!"

"I'll stand..."

"Do you want to talk to Mr. Leo John while standing and let Mr. Leo John look up at you?"

"Ah..."

Although Leo John became more and more kind and looked very approachable, Lacey still didn't dare to sit down.

However, after a few words from Zhang Sheng, Lacey broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and then sat aside more stiffly, not daring to move.

He heard Zhang Sheng talking to Leo John about the future employment in the slums of Rossinya.

He listened attentively. After a while, when Zhang Sheng mentioned him, he was shocked and quickly took out the plan he had prepared in advance.

Fear made him speak tremblingly, and Leo John frowned for a while.

Seeing the frown, Lacey became more afraid, his mind went blank, and he couldn't even organize one tenth of his usual language ability.

However, he managed to finish his words.

After he finished speaking, he found that his back was sweating.

But Zhang Sheng patted his shoulder and encouraged him with his eyes not to worry.

Then, looking at Leo John, he talked about the future [Trade Pilot].

"Mr. Lacey, you can be the person in charge of this project..."

When he heard this...

Lacey was stunned!

………………………………

Days passed by.

When more and more young Chinese directors brought their films to the [Southern California International Film Awards], the entire [Southern California Film Trade Zone] began to become extremely crowded.

The booths were free at the beginning, then one thousand, then ten thousand, and then one hundred thousand...

It even reached the point where it was hard to grab a booth!

When a gimmick was hyped up, more and more people rushed in.

Especially when the [screening] of the participating films ended, the remaining [screening booths] became one of the resources that filmmakers scrambled for crazily...

In just three days!

The price of screening a movie was hyped up from ten thousand yuan to three hundred thousand!

The screening booths frequented by international film critics and film distributors are even more expensive...

The screening of "My Sassy Girl Sadako" was a big hit, and countless producers, directors, and investors started to dream.

The dream was to be like "My Sassy Girl Sadako", that their own movies would be noticed by large overseas companies during the screening, and then they would compete for the version, and the box office would be a big hit after the screening, and they would return to China to be gilded, and become international directors and producers overnight, taking on so many films and making so much money.

Don't doubt it!

Some directors, under pressure from capital, know that they are making bad movies, but they still grit their teeth and make them.

For example, Ke Zhanchi...

But in fact, there are many directors who make bad movies, who don't know how bad their movies are. They just think that their movies are not successful because they have few resources, or because of the times, and there are many famous scenes of "watch this movie again in five years".

The countless movies that have flooded in have made the judges of the [Southern California International Film Awards] numbed!

There are too many movies that are charged for registration and screening, and the screening area is quite limited, but the higher-ups have stipulated that the films must be carefully reviewed...

So...

It often happens to watch movies all night.

However...

Sometimes it is really a qualitative change that is caused by quantitative changes.

Among the registered movies of varying quality, there are always one or two movies that become a dark horse in a corner that no one cares about, and then break through the siege!

A movie with a very tacky name called "Big Diamond" was listed in the new film section of the [Southern California Film Exchange Zone] and topped the copyright trading list...

The director's name is Zheng Hao...

A typical sixth-generation director in China, he was banned for two years by relevant departments for illegally participating in international film festivals without review by professional departments.

Two years later, when he appeared in the film circle again, the circle had changed a lot, with various factions everywhere, but he couldn't squeeze in.

He couldn't really go home and sell sweet potatoes, could he?

then……

Bite your teeth!

I worked hard to make a movie called "Big Diamond", and happily went to the Southern California International Film Awards to try my luck.

Hey, I didn’t expect that the copyright sold really well.

A movie with an investment of 4 million has not yet been officially released, but the overseas copyright has been purchased for more than 7 million!

Stable!

November 18th.

The night before the [Southern California International Film Awards] ceremony.

"Big Diamond" ranked second in the screen rights block of the [Southern California Film Exchange Area], with a gratifying data of twelve Japanese rights, second only to "My Sassy Girl Sadako"'s fourteen... …

Director, producer and part-time screenwriter Zheng Hao followed the assistant director Lin Ge and was so excited that he couldn't sleep...

The two of them ran out of the hotel in the middle of the night, drinking beer and eating Brazilian barbecue, talking about the future and life, and they felt more and more promising about the future.

Rociniya was still noisy in the early morning.

In the [Southern California Film Awards Screening Area], all-night screenings have been launched.

The seven big screens are crazily showing all kinds of movies from China every day, and the directors and producers are very busy.

"Three hundred thousand! Well spent!"

Zheng Hao took a sip of beer and remembered how he flinched when he paid for the screening for the first time. He felt more and more that his original idea was right!

Now……

The screening is coming to an end!

The [Southern California International Film Awards] award ceremony is about to begin, and the price of screening space has skyrocketed again, already reaching half a million per movie!

Not only did no one find it too expensive, but there were also a lot of movies queuing up for spots...

Oh shit!

This world is simply magical!

Just as Zheng Hao and Brother Lin were chatting about the future, his phone rang.

It's an unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Hello, are you director Zheng Hao?"

"Yes, may I ask who you are..."

"I am Zhang Sheng!"

"Eh? Mr. Zhang?" After hearing Zhang Sheng's name, Zheng Hao was so excited that he thought he heard it wrong!

Oh my god!

The big boss behind the [Southern California International Film Awards].

From the tepid performance of the first [Southern California International Film Awards] to the excitement of the second [Southern California International Film Awards]...

This man is like a god!

"Yes, where are you?"

"We are eating barbecue here, right next to the pine trees. Well, you are..."

"Okay, I'll be right over!"

"Eh?"

The evening breeze blows.

Although it was early in the morning, it was still not too cold.

Zhang Sheng didn't let the two of them wait too long. After about ten minutes, Zhang Sheng found his seat.

"Zhang, Mr. Zhang..."

Zheng Hao was stunned and stood up subconsciously, but saw Zhang Sheng wave his hand, indicating that the two of them should sit down.

Then, Zhang Sheng looked at Zheng Hao with a smile: "Director Zheng, the filming of "Big Diamond" was a bit interesting. May I ask if there is a distribution company in China that "Big Diamond" cooperates with?"

"Ah, no, "Big Diamond" is our own company, [Toho Studio]... When we signed up for the [Southern California International Film Awards] to be screened, we used the name [Toho Studio] …”

"Oh, are you interested in cooperating with our company?"

"Ah?" After seeing Zhang Sheng's enthusiastic expression, Zheng Hao's mind went blank. After a moment, he hesitated and said with an excited face: "Yes, yes, but how to cooperate?"

"Tomorrow is the award ceremony. At the award ceremony, there will be a [Best Copyright Sales] award... If there are no accidents, we will award the [Best Copyright Sales] Silver Award to your "Big Diamond"..."

"Ah, is there such an award? Wait, Mr. Zhang, we don't seem to have signed up for the award..." Zheng Hao was a little confused.

When he brought "Big Diamond" to the Southern California International Film Awards, it was already very late and he had no chance to participate in the official competition program.

I have never heard of this award before.

"It didn't exist before, but as long as I want, it can be there anytime... I have always felt that the [Southern California International Film Awards] is not only an awards platform, but also hope that it will become the world's largest film trading platform in the future... …We must encourage the creative achievements of directors and producers…”.

"Oh oh oh." Seeing Zhang Sheng's serious expression, Zheng Hao felt a light flashing in his mind, but he couldn't catch it. He finally opened his mouth and held it in for a long time, but he didn't know how to respond.

But the assistant director Lin Ge next to him reacted very quickly. After kicking Zheng Hao under the table, he stared at Zhang Sheng excitedly: "Mr. Zhang, we want to integrate into the [NC Entertainment] system... You said, we [ In what way does Toho Studio] integrate into the [NC Entertainment] system..."

Lin Ge realized...

A broad road lies in front of them!

Take a step forward!

No worries about food and clothing.

Zhang Sheng looked at the two of them with a smile: "I want to sign two contracts and help them soar to the sky!"

In fact...

When the copyright sales of the movie "Big Diamond" reached the second place, he noticed this "Big Diamond".

Then……

He watched this movie.

After reading this...

The first thought was surprise.

This is a black humor movie, similar to the movie "Crazy Stone" in the original world.

The second thought is to give this "Big Diamond" an award!

Let it become another "grassroots rise" myth after "My Sassy Girl Sadako" in the [Southern California Film Exchange].
