When people are busy, the time is not enough, and the time is really fast.

The year 2000 is the millennium, and many people around the world think that this year is very important, but when we are in this year, we also find that this is nothing damn different.

In December, this is the end of the year, but for the Chinese film industry, it is the most anticipated day of the year, because the Chinese New Year is coming.

The concept of the Lunar New Year file is still quite new in the Chinese mainland film circle at this time, and Feng Xiaogang's "Party A and Party B" in the first two years can be regarded as making this schedule hard, and now, everyone has finally woken up, and the directors of all walks of life began to want to make some articles in this schedule.

Among them, the most famous and the most promising, that is Zhang Yimou!

"Director Zhang, the casting process of "Happy Times" is very creative, but there are a lot of gossips that this happy girl is actually predetermined, and there are also ...... that you and that."

"Happy Times", which was only released at the end of December, began to be promoted at the beginning of this month, with a big director like Zhang Yimou, plus the big names in the movie "Happy Times", Uncle Benshan, Fu Biao, and the happy girl Dong Jie, there are not too many topics one by one, so it is naturally a gathering of reporters, but the problem of this reporter is too bad.

"Our casting is open and transparent......," Director Zhang didn't have to answer, and the others came to block it.

But however, the reporters never gave up, and immediately someone asked again.

"Director Zhang! Can you tell us what you think of your beloved apprentice, Zhang Ziyi? Recently, Zhang Ziyi's movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released in the United States, and the box office was red. ”

This thing...... It's also a bit of a pot that doesn't open and which pot to mention!

The movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released in Asia in the summer, and it arrived in the United States. Then it was dragged to this time, and the box office in Asia was still very ordinary, although it can't be said to be bad, but it is definitely not amazing enough, but as soon as this movie arrived in the United States, it immediately rose!

So far, it has been the highest North American box office for Chinese-language films. And there are also high evaluations, both the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars have a lot of interest in this movie, and many awards have been shortlisted!

The key is, Zhang Ziyi, she was discovered by Zhang Yimou, and the two of them are definitely teachers and friends...... Well, a lot of rumors are about that kind of relationship, which is normal, celebrities.

But. Zhang Ziyi, a student, is now out of Zhang Yimou, or out of this system, but people seem to be better mixed, which is a bit ...... Slap in the face!

So, this reporter is really good.

"The thing about purple clothes, she is very aura in acting, and the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is also very good. Very good, I've been preparing a martial arts film recently......"

Zhang Yimou. This mentality is still good, and he also talked about his future plans, obviously, this plan is, of course, that he is going to follow Kurosawa Akira to make a three-stage martial arts movie "Hero".

And such an answer is really a thousand pounds, dealing with the reporter's tricky questions. This old man has also been on the battlefield for a long time.

However, in this case, the reporter still has to make a move.

"Mr. Zhang, can you tell us about your outlook for the box office of "Happy Times"?"

By the way, we still have to go back to the box office of this movie. That's what matters.

And this problem, Zhang Yimou himself is a bit of a loser, so Zhang Weiping's people immediately came out to shout.

"As far as the lineup of our drama is concerned, no matter how you say it, it will cost 30 million."

"It's a little too much."

The staff released a satellite, and Zhang Yimou expressed his modesty again and again.

But but, in fact, just look at the lineup of this movie, 50 million dare to shout, Uncle Benshan at this time is really called a sky.

It's okay to be conservative, Zhang Yimou can be said to be on the cusp of the storm, and he has been scolded a lot, so if he can scold less, just in case......

"Teacher Zhang!" However, the reporter hasn't stopped, "There is a movie recently, it is said that it is co-produced by Taiwan and Hollywood, the actor is the famous singer Luo Yaoxiang, he has now made two movies in the United States, one is this, and the other is "X-Men", it is said that the box office and the response are good. And this movie, which we translated as "Green Flame", is also going to be released in the Chinese New Year, Mr. Zhang, do you think this movie will be the main opponent? ”

Hey, that's a good question!

The movie "Green Flame" has been recreated by Ge Fuhong and Zhang Wenhua on the treasure island, and then at the request of Luo Yaoxiang, we must be released simultaneously in Greater China, of course, it must not be the same day, but at least it must be about the same.

So, it was arranged for this New Year's file, this is the best schedule, this Luo Yaoxiang is so face-saving?

It should be said that this is the case......

"Our Luo Yaoxiang is an international superstar! is currently the most famous Chinese movie star in Hollywood! ”

"And it's not just movies, you mainlanders also know his albums, right? It's selling very well, and he's also a highlight in the American music scene now. ”

"Our film, which is a cooperation between Taiwan and the United States, and the script is still Japanese, is definitely a Hollywood production level, and we have a conscience in Taiwan......

Zhang Wenhua ran to the mainland for this release, he was so fooled......

Well, this is not a fool, because after all, it is the truth, Luo Yaoxiang is indeed doing well in Hollywood now, and he is also quite good among Chinese filmmakers, there is really no SEI, and he is also right in terms of singing, and now there are his songs on the streets and alleys of the mainland.

And the most important thing is that the mainland is not particularly familiar with Luo Yaoxiang, this person is relatively mysterious, he just came to sell records, but he didn't show up much on the mainland.

This is mainly about traditional media, although in 2000 there were at least 6 to 7 million Internet users in the mainland, but after all, TV and print media are still very strong, they occupy the largest media market, and this market, Luo Yaoxiang has hardly appeared.

But it's called mystery!

Several leaders on the radio and television side summed up, on the one hand, this is a film from Taiwan, and there is no political element in this film, the original work is still Japanese, on the other hand, this is still a Hollywood movie, and American blockbusters can make money.

So, let's just do it, what is the limit of 10 films a year, this movie will not be counted!

In fact, even if a certain amount of processing has been carried out, no one is stupid, how can you not see that this movie is made by Hollywood at all, and now, okay, since the name of Treasure Island has been added, and now the country is taking some measures against that Ah Bian, and it is best to win over some people from Treasure Island.

returned to the Hong Kong and Taiwan films, and then, "Green Flame" naturally came to the Chinese New Year file.

In terms of distribution, he contacted a guy named Yu Dong in China, this guy has a way, he is more familiar with Hong Kong, and Ge Fuhong naturally found him.

Of course, Luo Yaoxiang is familiar with the name Yu Dong, in the future, this guy will start that Berner Films, which is quite good, and it is true that what the owner of the family is doing is the introduction of Hong Kong and Taiwan films, but I didn't expect that my own movie was also introduced, which is very good!

A movie has gone through so many twists and turns before it can come to the mainland across the ocean, but how can Zhang Yimou answer the question asked by the reporter at this time?

"This, Luo Yaoxiang, this...... I'm not very familiar with it yet, really not. "Teacher Zhang Yimou told the truth.

This is indeed the big truth, Zhang Yimou really doesn't know Luo Yaoxiang, on the one hand, Zhang Yimou is mainly busy working in China now, his "Happy Times" and the next "Hero", this is all going to be done in China, and ah, there was an incident in Cannes before, Jacob, the chairman of Cannes, this guy wants to use "No One Less", as well as "My Father and Mother", hack our China, Lao Mouzi withdrew the film.

Therefore, he really stayed in China recently, and he didn't know anything about abroad, and he didn't know anything about what happened in Taiwan, and there was very little news over there.

Treasure Island doesn't communicate with the mainland, and then scolds the mainland for being closed......

But that's an interesting statement......

"Director Zhang Yimou does not refuse the challenge of Hollywood movies!"

"Zhang Yimou threatened to win the Lunar New Year champion!"

"Who is Luo Yaoxiang? I don't know ......."

The reporter's discipline is not much stronger in our country, and everyone is not afraid of small things, so with a simple extension, it becomes like this.

After Zhang Yimou saw it, he could only smile, no way, he had seen too many such things, but at this time, Luo Yaoxiang was also in China!

Click, click......

The flash flashed so hard that it could make people dizzy.

The facilities here are not bad in the Overseas Chinese Building in Beijing, and the premiere of the movie "Green Flame" is placed here.

You know, this choice is decent, and the previous premiere of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was also done here, Overseas Chinese Building, Overseas Chinese.

But to be honest, Luo Yaoxiang didn't regard himself as an overseas Chinese, sincerely.

By the way, in order to promote his movie, Luo Yaoxiang has already returned to China and come to the capital!

"Mr. Luo Yaoxiang! Can you tell us how you feel? ”

"As a Hollywood star and a famous singer, do you have any plans for long-term development in the mainland?"

"Mr. Luo Yaoxiang! Look here! ”

This reporter asked, this enthusiasm, Luo Yaoxiang is really ...... in his heart

Lao Tzu is finally on fire this time!

Well, there is a feeling of returning home.

However, the reporter always likes to ask interesting questions.

"Mr. Luo Yaoxiang, Director Zhang Yimou said before that he didn't know who you were, how do you respond to this question?"

Obviously, this is not afraid of small things...... (To be continued.) )
