Chapter 303: The Establishment of the Film Academy
Chapter 303 Founding of the Film Academy
The completion of "Jurassic Park", Zhang Yi and others returned to Hong Kong and caused quite a stir. However, although Zhang Yi was busy planning his sister Zhang Jing's wedding, the post-production of the film was busy.
Although Zhang Yi is a public figure, his sister Zhang Jing is not, and she is low-key. The wedding that Zhang Yi planned for him will naturally not be known to everyone. However, the news still leaked.
Although the Zhang family has developed in just a few years by relying on Zhang Yi alone, it has the taste of nouveau riche, but there is no doubt that the Zhang family is definitely a super "wealthy family" in Hong Kong. It's just that the population of this "wealthy family" seems to be a little thinner. In addition to Zhang Yi himself, there are only his sister Zhang Jing, and Zhang Yi and his father Zhang Dexin.
Although Zhang Jing and Zhang Yi are sisters and brothers, they have no inheritance rights to the property under Zhang Yi's name. But who in Hong Kong doesn't know that Zhang Yi and his sister Zhang Jing have a very good relationship, and Zhang Jing almost gave up college for her younger brother Zhang Yi, who was still very unrighteous at that time. And Zhang Yi's industrial finance in Hong Kong is now all in charge of his sister Zhang Jing, and Zhang Yi has never asked at all. It can be seen from here that Zhang Yi's trust in Zhang Jing.
Zhang Yi will definitely not treat Zhang Jing badly.
Because of Zhang Yi, the media took great interest in Zhang Jing's wedding, and also gossiped about Zhang Jing and his fiancΓ© Li Bin.
However, although Zhang Yi didn't care about these, he had to consider the feelings of Zhang Jing and Li Bin. A warning was given to some excessive gossip tabloids.
Zhang Yi now has a very special identity in Hong Kong, and his name will be sold in both black and white. As soon as Zhang Yi spoke, the gossip tabloids had to die down. and did not listen to the warning, Zhang Yi resolutely cracked down, either directly bought it, and then fired those people's squid, or used some means, not to be forced to close the door. It's to be seized.
Kill the chicken and the monkey! Zhang Yi's move made everyone understand Zhang Yi's influence in Hong Kong and how much Zhang Yi cares about Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing and Li Bin's wedding was not luxurious, but it was grand. There are many government dignitaries, business celebrities, and celebrities who came to cheer.
"I heard that your father urged you to get married, and you used your sister as an excuse to shirk it, and now that your sister is married, how do you plan to do the wedding wine? It won't be delayed. Until we old guys are in the ground, we can't drink your wine? Shao Tycoon looked at Zhang Yi and said.
Zhang Yi glanced at Shao Daheng, then looked at Jin Daxia and other ordinary old guys who were sitting with him, smiled bitterly, and then said: "Sixth uncle, I am only twenty-one years old!" Moreover, Sixth Uncle, you are all living a long life, and you still have decades to live, my happy wine. How could you not drink. β
"You kid! Send us away with less of these. You've been talking to Zhou Yatou for several years, right? Shao Tycoon said with a smile.
"It should be five or six years." Jin Daxia said with a smile.
"You young people." Shao Daheng looked at Zhang Yi's appearance, and then said with a smile and some sighs. He knew the relationship between Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin, and he also knew that Zhang Yi was not the kind of person who gave up from the beginning, let alone because of his high achievements now. The one who abandoned his childhood sweetheart.
He is still a pure heart, whether it is for his old guys or some of his former friends, there is no change.
"Listen to Lan Naicai. Uncle Six plans to shoot the third part of "Resident Evil"? Zhang Yi didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he immediately changed the topic and asked.
"Why, you don't think it's the right time?" Shao Tycoon looked at Zhang Yi. Then he asked. In the movie, he had to admire Zhang Yi's grasp of the market. Regarding Zhang Yi's opinion, it is estimated that no boss of a film company does not care.
"That's not it. I just don't know when Uncle Six plans to start filming? Zhang Yi smiled and said. Seeing that Shao Daheng looked at it suspiciously, he immediately explained, "After the release of "Jurassic Park", I plan to make a movie with the theme of ancient war, and I am also ready to use Lin Qingxia as the starring role, I am afraid that there will be some conflicts in the schedule. β
"Ancient war films? Lin Qingxia is the starring role, you won't make another movie with the heroine as the main line, right? Shao Daheng looked at Zhang Yi and asked curiously.
"I plan to bring Mulan's story to the screen." Zhang Yi said, "There are many legendary figures to be photographed in ancient China, but as far as the Western market is concerned, I am afraid that female heroes are more likely to be recognized than male heroes." β
"When will your "Jurassic Park" be released? When will the new film start filming? Shao Tycoon then said.
"It will take some time for the post-production of "Jurassic Park", and it is estimated that it will be released in the summer in July. "Mulan" is estimated to start filming in August. Zhang Yi thought about it and then said.
"In August, there are still more than two months. There are some conflicts in the schedule. "Resident Evil" is still just an intention, and preparations have not begun at all, and the filming will definitely not be completed in a month or two. Why don't you put it off? Shao Daheng thought for a moment in his heart, and then said.
"Since Uncle Sixth said so, let's stand back." Zhang Yi thought about it, then smiled and said, "Oh, that's right. Uncle Six, are you interested in opening a film school in Hong Kong? β
"Start a film school?" When Shao Daheng heard this, he looked at Zhang Yi in some surprise.
Zhang Yi nodded, in fact, he had long wanted to set up a film school in Hong Kong. If you want to open a film school, it is definitely a great benefit to pull in Shao Daheng.
Not to mention that Shao Tycoon has been in the Hong Kong film industry for decades, and he has accumulated countless network resources, but his wireless power artist training class is extremely successful. Just think about how many of those actors and actresses in the Hong Kong film industry came out of that training class.
"It's not that simple to run a film school." Shao Tycoon thought about it, but he was still a little moved. The opening of a film academy has definitely many benefits for the Hong Kong film and television industry, and for him, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages. Of course, the premise is that he can occupy a place in the film school.
If you don't participate, once the film school is established, it will definitely have a great impact on the training class of his TV station.
"That's why I'm looking for Uncle Six." Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"Let me think about it." Shao Tycoon thought about it and said. Before, Zhang Yi got some Chinese rising stars to export, although some lost a lot of money, but most of them still made money. Moreover, many directors have grown up, and now most of them are under the umbrella of Shaw Brothers, and in general, Shaw Brothers has gained much more from that new star director than Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi now focuses on the United States, and once the film school is established, if he participates in it, he will definitely get much more than Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi looked at Shao Tycoon and smiled, he knew that Shao Tycoon was moved.
As Zhang Yi expected, Shao Daheng agreed.
And the news that Zhang Yi and Shao Daheng were jointly preparing to establish a film academy spread immediately, which immediately caused a great sensation.
Hong Kong films are developing rapidly and becoming more and more formal, and now they are in urgent need of talents. Moreover, most of the filmmakers in Hong Kong today are from the same wild path as Zhang Yi, and there are not many real academy students.
Zhang Yi was born as a screenwriter, and he has not systematically learned to write scripts. And that Cheng Longhong, Jin Bao and others were born as dragon and tiger martial artists.
Of course, it doesn't mean that filmmakers from Yeluzi are inferior to those academics, but I have to admit that academics are based on theory, and in practice, it is easier to grow. Like Zhang Yi, who groped in practice, I don't know how many detours they have taken.
Zhang Yi is a miracle that cannot be replicated at all. Such as Hong Jinbao and others, they have been in the crew for many years before they gradually grew up. And only they know the joys and sorrows.
As soon as the news of Zhang Yixiang and Shao Daheng establishing a film academy came out, they immediately received the support of almost all filmmakers in Hong Kong.
Let's not talk about how much Zhang Yi's achievements in film have a role in the film school, but with the support of Zhang Yi's funds, everyone will be optimistic about this film school.
Everyone can see that Zhang Yi's establishment of this film academy has the meaning of supporting Hong Kong films. Of course, some people say that Zhang Yi founded the film academy, which is to do business to education.
There are many private schools in Hong Kong, and there are some profits and losses. But with Zhang Yi's appeal, I don't know how many young people in Hong Kong who have dreams of stardom will go away like moths to a fire.
It's a sure-fire deal. (To be continued......)
