Chapter Eighty-two: All's Well That Ends Well
The British Horror Movie Festival was held as scheduled, and Yi Feiyang still didn't go in the end.
The absence of the winner of "Best Horror Movie" made this event lose a lot of color.
But the more elusive Fede Alvarez is, the more mysterious he becomes. With the still lingering title of "death director", he has become the "new star" of the world horror film circle, and is hailed by many horror movie fans as America's "most anticipated" horror director.
As a "newcomer" in the horror movie circle, and a "new star" of future cult movies, many people who like him hope that he can come out from his self-enclosed state and contribute new horror movies for everyone.
However, for news media around the world, "Yi Feiyang" has become a "news symbol" that can be continuously reported on, a "gossip bread" that can fill newspaper content and satisfy reader demand.
……
"Who is Yiyang? A banned film in North America, 'Ghost Blowing Lamp', created this horror world's dark horse, and some people even mention him together with the American 80s' 'Evil Master' Sam Raimi, calling him today's most outstanding 'Young Horror Film Director', oh, and another title is 'Death Director'!" --- Reported by The Times of UK.
"We, the French audience, have always been very open-minded, just like we welcome all new immigrants to France... My God, in just ten years, Arabs already make up 8% of the population, if it weren't for the language, we'd wonder whether this is France or the Middle East! Sorry, I'm getting off track. The point I want to make is that the French people can accept anything. So no matter how scary your horror movies are, we can handle them! In terms of film entertainment, France used to be a bigger brand than America, so dear Yi, we welcome you to come and shoot here, and welcome the release of films like 'The Ghost Record'!" - Report by French newspaper "Libération".
"Fear originates from dark fantasy and gloomy life. It is the opposite side of our cognition of the world, we yearn for fear but are also afraid of it. Now a Chinese man named Yi Feiyang has shot an unconventional horror film in the US, which won an award at the London Horror Film Festival. All we can say to this is: I love giant pandas, and I love Director Yi even more!" --- Italian Fashion Forum reported.
……
A flower in the garden is fragrant beyond the wall.
Who would have thought. Yi Fei Yang's banned horror film won an award in Europe and was recognized by mainstream media, which undoubtedly gave the US rating agency a slap in the face, straightforward and loud.
At the same time, Yi Feiyang's two films "Buried Alive" and "Horror Cruise" also took advantage of this east wind, with global box office totals rising from $43 million to over $64 million, averaging around $32 million per film. The total cost of these two films was only $160,000, which means that these two low-cost films made a profit of nearly 200 times!
As for the two plays directed by Rabbit Bill and Fat Jack, they finally made a name for themselves, showing off their good fortune and achievements.
Natasha and Gyllenhaal, who starred in the two plays, also made the headlines of Hollywood Entertainment News. A former unknown AV actress and a former self-destructive young carpenter each gained their own glory.
Originally, Anne Hathaway, the star of "The Phantom", should have achieved more, but due to the film being banned and posters being banned from posting, her popularity was ruthlessly suppressed; Moreover, people over-focused on the director Yiyang, paying attention to this "death director" who doesn't follow the usual path, thus putting this beauty aside.
That is to say, Yifei Yang "accidentally" stole the spotlight from her own heroine, making Anne Hathaway a little red, but not as well-known as Natalie Portman and Jake Gyllenhaal, which can't be said to be a pity.
Anyway, this time Yi Fei Yang's hand-built Dream Movie Industry is really "famous" in the North American market. Compared to when it was first established, no one asked about it, people didn't look at it well, and even news couldn't be published, it has become a world of difference.
Now almost every day, a large number of media reporters are waiting at the company's door, waiting to interview the company's insiders, interviewing female stars and male stars under Meng Huan... Of course, mainly hoping to be lucky enough to interview that extremely mysterious "Death Director" China Yi!
But Yi Feiyang, he has not been able to rest easy lately, especially Paramount Pictures has called him several times to urge him to give a response, hoping to continue cooperating to shoot movies... mainly hoping to borrow his popularity and make another big profit.
But Yi Feiyang didn't respond to Paramount's request, only saying that he needed time to rest and start a new play, and would talk about it later.
For this, Paramount had no choice but to wait. Even when President Raymond appeared in person, the reply was still the same: "I'm not shooting any new films for now, I need a rest."
……
Time passed slowly by.
During this period, Yi Feiyang did not idle away either. The $7.5 million from the sale of the copyright for the CD was used by him in part to repay Tang Ren Jie's 300 million US dollars; another part was used as renovation funds for the company, about 1.5 million US dollars; and another part was distributed to the hardworking employees who followed his own company, about 1 million US dollars; The remaining $2 million was left as the company's later flowing capital and handed over to Pangzi for continued management.
Fatso didn't expect 7.5 million, in the blink of an eye, 5.5 million was gone, and only 2 million was left in his own hands!
20 million!
Such a large company has only 20 million in savings!
Although, nominally speaking, Fatty has also become a "millionaire", but he always feels that his "financial manager" is too cheap!
In fact, the reason why fatty has such a low-level idea is that his vision has become higher.
If he had just arrived in the US, $10,000 would have made him ecstatic for half a year; but now Yifei Yang often gives him surprises of tens of millions, so that Fatso no longer takes this $2 million seriously.
……
The fat man is "heartbroken" and "heart bleeding", while the employees of DreamWorks on the other side are cheering and jumping for joy!
One million! The boss said he'd give it, so he gave it!
This welfare is too crazy!
"Oh! Good job, boss!"
"Yeah! Boss, we love you!"
Yes. As an employee. Who doesn't want to earn more money as a worker?
……
Maria was a receptionist hired by Dream Film when they were recruiting. She is twenty years old and in the prime of her youth. Unfortunately, although she looks good, she has a low level of education and used to work at a fast food restaurant, but she quit because she couldn't stand the sexual harassment from the restaurant manager.
After quitting her job, Maria went to many companies for interviews. But all were rejected, low education in Hollywood is not popular. So she sat idle, no job was found, and the savings in her hands were spent. Maria felt very disappointed and helpless. Just at this time, Dream Factory began to post recruitment ads in newspapers...
Maria had joined this newly opened, run-down film company that looked like a garbage recycling plant because she was at her wit's end.
When Maria first joined the company, she was too embarrassed to tell others where she worked. The reason was that the company was very simple and even the entire office building had not been renovated... It was not famous at all. It had just been established, and nobody knew if it would be popular or not.
Who would have thought. It was just such a small movie company that Maria considered to be hopeless and on the verge of bankruptcy, yet it caused a stir in Hollywood.
And now... that generous Chinese boss took out 1 million yuan to reward these company employees!
Although I'm inexperienced and not a key technical staff member... I heard that the photographer Cindy, makeup artist Mickey, and lighting engineer Charlie each received at least $100,000 in benefits!
But Maria secretly calculated that there were not many employees who got $10,000 this time, yes, really not many!
Who would have such good luck to get a $10,000 benefit in less than three months after starting work?!
You want to know, she used to work in a fast food restaurant, struggling to make just tens of dollars every day!
At that moment, Maria felt proud and honored for the first time as an employee of Dream Fantasy Film!
"Yes, from now on I will definitely work hard for the company!" Maria made up her mind secretly.
Actually, like Maria, there are not a few people who have begun to take pride in Dream Illusionary Co., Ltd. These employees, who were originally "brainwashed" by Yi Feiyang, have for the first time developed a strong sense of identity with the company!
……
The Tang people's camel is also happy, these days he has been giving IOUs to the Dream Illusion Film Company non-stop. Although he didn't say anything out loud, in his heart of hearts, he was worried and anxious, fearing that if Dream Illusion Film goes bankrupt this time, wouldn't he lose even the money for his own coffin?!
However, the code of brotherhood among Jianghu people and Lu Xiao's stubbornness forced him to hold back.
Then, a miracle appeared!
Yes, a miracle really happened!
DreamWorks' three films sold well!
Camel's mood is so good and excited, at that moment he almost jumped up like a little girl and sang...
But the good mood didn't last long, Yi Feiyang's film scared people to death!
Gloomy!
Utterly dismal!
Camel's originally happy and blissful mood was messed up!
It's like falling from heaven straight into hell!
As if falling from Himalayas directly into Mariana Trench!
Camel feels very unlucky, and also thinks Yi Feiyang is very unlucky...
But just as Camellia was making new preparations and suffering this ruthless blow, good news arrived: the "Ghost Shadow" CD was selling well!
Full of twists and turns!
Camel's father was shocked and delighted by this sudden news, and he was almost numb with excitement.
And then, with a sudden turn of events, Yi Feiyang waved his hand and directly gave her 3 million!
The white strip has been cleared, and the total amount of money borrowed by Lao Ye is only 1.5 million, now there is an extra 1.5 million, which can be considered as a reward for Lao Ye!
Holding this doubled 1.5 million, Camel's grandfather was almost overjoyed to tears!
Ayan, what a good person!
Look, many heroes!
Very kind of you!
I'm so stupid! I used to lend money at high interest rates. If I had known that making movies could be so profitable, I would have gotten into the industry a long time ago!
