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

Chapter 231 The King of Traffic!

"Make way! Make way! Damn it, make way!"

What time will Zhou Yang's flight arrive?

"Ten o'clock! But I heard it might be earlier..."

"Damn it, it's only 5 a.m.! Are these people all crazy? Damn it, I should have come at this hour to reserve a spot!"

"I heard that Zhou Yang's team changed their flight schedule at the last minute, but I don't know the exact time. However, they will definitely be back early!"

"Damn it! Make way for me, I need to collaborate with Zhou Yang!"

"Get in line! I was here first!"

5 month 9 day.

Beijing Yanjing International Airport was brightly lit at 5 a.m.

Countless media outlets, carrying cameras, scrambled to find suitable shooting spots, camping out at the entrance of the arrival hall. Despite repeated warnings from security personnel that Zhou Yang wouldn't arrive for at least five hours, the media continued their frantic lingering...

During his month-long absence, the film "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Rings," in which he starred and directed, grossed an astonishing 110 million at the box office!
Despite disappearing for a month, the buzz surrounding him on [Kuaibo] and various media outlets has never died down; in fact, it's only intensified!
[Quickbo] Part 1:

The hashtag #China'sFirstRacingMovie# has garnered over 10 million views!

The hashtag #ZhouYangMissing# has garnered over 30 million views!
The hashtag #AudiOffersMillionDollarRewardForFindingMiss# has garnered over a million views, with countless comments below...

The hashtag #F1InternationalRacing# has garnered over seven million views...

And this morning!
Hashtags like #ZhouYangNewMovie# and #Hollywood# quickly trended on social media, with all sorts of unverified messages appearing below them!

Someone revealed that Zhou Yang's movie was filmed in less than 14 days, and that he filmed it while he was filming "Twilight"!
Someone revealed that Hollywood's copyright department approved Zhou Yang's new film immediately after seeing it...

Some claim that Zhou Yang is officially declaring war on the directors in the Chinese film industry!
……

The revelations from all directions swept across the internet in an instant, shocking countless people!
"This is insane! This is absolutely insane!"

"A low-budget horror film? What did he even make?"

"I heard it was filmed using leftovers from the Twilight crew, and it only took less than a month... and they were filming the movie while also taking time out to film it... it was all props borrowed from Twilight!"

"One month? Global release? What the hell is this monster?! Holy crap..."

"..."

The clamor grew louder and louder, and traffic in the airport terminal outside was completely paralyzed.

From the internet to offline, all sorts of news flew around, leaving countless people who heard it both shocked and bewildered.

As a last resort, the airport temporarily deployed 50 special agents to maintain order. Security personnel quickly set up a temporary cordon to prevent the frenzied media from rushing into the passageway and disrupting order!
................................................

The terminal building of Yanjing Airport at 6:00 AM.

The lights illuminated faces that were so excited they were almost distorted.

Xu, a reporter from [China Film Weekly], had his shoulders aching from being jostled, but he still held onto the microphone tightly, making sure the photographer's lens was pointed towards the other party's VIP passage.

Four hours before Zhou Yang disembarked, the VIP lane was already packed with over twenty mainstream media outlets.

Many media outlets rushed over as soon as they received the news in the early morning and secured their positions early.

For them!

At this moment, they no longer care about being banned or not!
Zhou Yang is a magnet for attention. Whoever can be the first to interview Zhou Yang, or even secure an exclusive interview, or even just get a few words from him...

Then magazine sales and traffic will definitely skyrocket!

after all!

Zhou Yang has reached a cooperation agreement with Paimon Pictures. Paimon has acquired the global distribution rights to his self-written and directed low-budget horror film, *Twilight Saw*, and may also receive a box office revenue sharing agreement!

This news is absolutely insane!
What are Hollywood movies?
For filmmakers worldwide, it represents the pinnacle of the global film industry and a coveted hall of fame for countless filmmakers around the world!
It dominates the global film industry and has created one box office legend after another that is admired and marveled at!
What is Paimon Pictures? It's one of the eight major Hollywood studios, one of the architects of Hollywood's Golden Age, and the production company behind the globally popular fantasy film "The Lord of the Rings"...

Over the years, China's five major film companies have made a fortune from Hollywood movies, and have fought tooth and nail for the distribution rights to these films, arguing countless times in public. Meanwhile, China's three major cinema chains and five major film studios, through their combined efforts with Hollywood films, have virtually monopolized the entire Chinese film industry, becoming utterly arrogant...

In the early hours of this morning, Zhou Yang, this madman, actually dared to storm into Paimon's headquarters all by himself, bringing with him an R-rated film shot with scraps from the movie crew!

Not only did he single-handedly storm in, but he also secured the cooperation while standing still!
This is the first time since Hollywood began dominating the world in the 1990s!
Everyone knows what this message means!
This means that the landscape of China's film industry will be completely changed starting tonight!

This also means that they are about to witness the rise of a new era!
Xu, a reporter from [China Film Weekly], kept a close eye on the VIP passage!

The media behind him were rushing in one after another, and even a series of physical altercations broke out in the struggle for positions...

"I heard Zhou Yang will arrive ahead of schedule!"

"You'd better hold your position tight!"

As he watched the increasing number of media outlets, he couldn't help but suddenly shout!
....................................

"Mr. Lin, I just confirmed the flight information. Zhou Yang's plane will land at Beijing Capital International Airport at 8:00 AM sharp..." The assistant ran over, his voice trembling with excitement, "But the details of the cooperation with Paimon haven't been fully disclosed yet. Should we wait..."

"Wait? Wait for what! I said I'd sign Zhou Yang at all costs! Is the contract ready?"

"Ready!"

"Okay!" Around 7 a.m.

Under the protection of bodyguards, Lin Guodong squeezed in and sat in the VIP lounge of Shanghai Airport.

The series of messages on the screen in the lounge made him feel slightly nervous.

Sometimes when you calm down and think about it, this whole thing is really fucking ridiculous!

Damn it!
Who would have thought!

Will he one day be in a rush to give money to someone?

I even felt anxious at one point, fearing that the other party wouldn't want the money...

That's utter bullshit!
He shook his head, then looked out the window at the sea of ​​media, and then at the waves of online buzz...

Over the course of a month, the film's use of techniques such as "drainage ditch bends" has sparked nationwide discussion!
Seeing the once niche world of motorsports rapidly expand its reach, with a surge in forum users and a dramatic increase in race viewers, we're receiving a flood of phone calls every day inquiring about it...

Even though it's a fleeting moment of popularity, he wants to seize that fleeting moment!
He breathed a slight sigh of relief and glanced down at the various news items about Zhou Yang's new movie!
At that moment, the anxiety of the past few days instantly transformed into a boiling ambition; he had already seen the dawn!

At 7:30 a.m., sunlight shone into the VIP lounge.

The assistant, who was keeping a close eye on everything, suddenly lowered his voice.

"Mr. Lin, we just received word that Zhou Yang's plane may land twenty minutes early and is already going through customs!"

At that moment, Lin Guodong suddenly stood up...

"Check the contract again! And tell the security team that no matter what happens, they must maintain a three-meter safe distance!"

"Ok!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a deafening roar erupted from the terminal building.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he saw that the regular arrival area a hundred meters away had completely spiraled out of control, with countless media outlets frantically scrambling to get into the VIP lane!

He quickly moved to the best position under the protection of security guards...

"It's Zhou Yang!"

"Mr. Zhou, look this way!"

"Mr. Zhou Yang, is it really true that 'Saw' was filmed in just two weeks?"

"Mr. Zhou Yang, I am Chen Fangkai from the 'Daily High' learning machine. We would like to collaborate with you on a 20 million yuan project and would like to invite you to be our spokesperson..."

"Mr. Zhou Yang, look at me. I'm the head of the China market for Suzuki Motors. We'd like to discuss a collaboration with you. We'd like to sponsor your new movie! Mr. Zhou..."

"..."

As waves of screams kept pouring into the VIP area!

Lin Guodong saw the metal door of the special customs channel slowly open.

Zhou Yang, dressed in a suit, walked out, escorted by a group of security personnel who were already prepared, pushing his suitcase with one hand.

"President Zhou!" Lin Guodong's booming voice instantly drowned out the airport announcement.

He saw Zhou Yang pause slightly, take off his sunglasses, and smile at him.

Zhang Jingya, who was standing next to him, was explaining something to him with her head down...

After listening, Zhou Yang was taken aback, then smiled and nodded. He then walked towards Lin Guodong under the protection of more and more security personnel.

Excuse me.

"I'm sorry, I can't give any interviews today!"

"Sorry, sorry..."

"..."

"President Lin, hello! I've heard Jingya mention you before, but I didn't expect you to come all this way in person..."

"Oh, not at all, Mr. Zhou, it's not easy to get an appointment with you. For the past two weeks, I've been going to your [Xuan Shi Entertainment] every day. I've never been this frequent even when I drive a sports car..."

"Hahaha!"

Lin Guodong saw Zhou Yang walking over and shook hands with him!

Lin Guodong took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and then, amidst the cacophony of voices, quickly pushed through the crowds under the escort of his bodyguards!

Just as he walked past the door and was about to get into the car, he suddenly heard a frantic figure squeeze in under the protection of security personnel, excitedly shouting at Zhou Yang.

"Mr. Zhou, we are Suzuki Motors. We are willing to spend 5000 million to have you endorse our cars. We would also like you to make a movie for Suzuki Motors. Here is the contract, Mr. Zhou. Please take a look and contact us... You must contact us. Tell me what your requirements are, and I will apply to the head office for more subsidies. We also need to find a spokesperson in the Asian region... Mr. Zhou, make the call, make the call!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Guodong hurriedly instructed the security personnel to push away the man in the suit who was rushing towards him.

He then quickly invited Zhou Yang to get in the car.

Theirs!
The competition for our business is here!
