Chapter 208 Again to the United States

Strike first!

Hong Kong's filmmakers have a discerning vision. Countless film companies approached Zhang Yi and wanted to cooperate with him to change "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" into a movie. Among them, there are many Shaw Brothers, which have been nearly discontinued, and Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest, which are still in the limelight. It was the Yongsheng of the Xiang brothers who put forward their intentions.

However, it is clear that they are much slower than Hong Jinbao.

Hong Jinbao immediately became high-profile, and directly announced that he would take over the copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and its adaptation was also put on the rì process, and the filming was carried out immediately afterwards.

However, Zhang Yi ignored these. He is already preparing to go to the United States with Zhou Huimin to shoot "People and Ghosts".

Zhang Yi has not changed much in "The Love of People and Ghosts", and the background has not changed to Hong Kong, and it is still in the United States. Except for the hero and heroine who were replaced by Chinese, the rest didn't even change their names.

Participating in "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" was not Zhang Yi's whim to get over the addiction of an actor, but promised Zhou Huimin at the beginning. As for why Zhang Yi didn't change the background together, one is nothing more than troublesome, and if the movie is all Chinese, its influence will inevitably be out.

Zhang Yi not only wants to use this film to make money from those ghosts, but also wants to promote Zhou Huimin to the world.

Of course, this trip to the United States is not only to shoot the film, but also to promote "Myth".

The North American release of "Myth" was seized by Fox, and the conditions he gave were extremely generous. The higher the box office, the higher Zhang Yi gets. Since he went to the United States to shoot the film, it is not difficult to promote "Myth" by the way.

What's more, Zhang Yi of "Myth" has given a lot of expectations, hoping that this film with pure oriental culture can succeed in the United States.

On this trip to the United States, many people accompanied him, in addition to Li Xiao and others, Xu Liang also brought many people. And his apprentice Luo Shukai is also among them.

Zhang Yi's original intention was not to let Na Luo Shukai accompany him, but he did not force him to stay. Na Luo Shukai has a knot in his heart because of what happened last time, and if he doesn't untie it as soon as possible, it will definitely affect the practice of boxing.

"Ah Yi, can I speak English?" On the plane, Zhou Huimin said to Zhang Yi with some worry.

"No problem. It's really not good, I use Cantonese dialogue when shooting, and I have to dub it in the later stage anyway. Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"But this will inevitably affect the cooperation with other actors." Zhou Huimin said immediately.

"Hehe, it's fine. If you have language problems, you can't cooperate. A lot of the scenes that talk to the air can't be filmed. Zhang Yi smiled and said.

There are many plots in it, but you have to turn a blind eye in front of you, and you have to say a lot of dialogue, which is undoubtedly a test of acting skills, especially in the eyes, if you are not careful, you will make mistakes.

When I got off the plane, I was greeted by Fox staff. This also saved Zhang Yi a lot of trouble.

"Mr. Zhang, welcome to the United States." The person in charge of Fox's reception said to Zhang Yi with a smile.

"Hehe, it's Mr. Robert, hello." Zhang Yi said with a smile. The person who came, Zhang Yi met in Hong Kong, and it was this guy who persuaded the Fox executives to seize the distribution rights of "Myth" in North America on extremely high terms.

"Mr. Zhang has a lot of entourage, it seems that it is really as rumored in Hong Kong, Mr. Zhang's new film is going to be filmed in the United States?" Robert glanced at the two dozen people accompanying Zhang Yi and spoke.

Zhang Yi smiled and did not speak. Of the more than 20 people, Xu Liang and their security personnel accounted for half of them. Zhang Yi didn't dare to hope that this movie would be smooth. Joseph hated himself to the core. Luo Shukai fell in love with the mafia last time, in fact, a large part of it was because of Zhang Yi.

If it hadn't happened suddenly last time, he was in a hurry to return to Hong Kong, and he would have given up halfway, otherwise Joseph would have been solved and settled once and for all. However, Zhang Yi didn't want to cause trouble this time, after all, Zhou Huimin came together. But if Joseph didn't know what to do, Zhang Yi would definitely give him a ruthless one.

Zhang Yi doesn't know if it's because he fought black boxing in his previous life, or because he has been with Li Xiao and others for a long time, and he is also tainted with ruthlessness. All enemies, who are worthless, are to be destroyed.

On top of the publicity of "Myth", Zhang Yi, a person who is not famous in the United States, is naturally the best choice for hype. In the United States, Zhang Yi may not have many fans, but there are many martial arts fans.

"Mythology" is on top of propaganda, and naturally takes Chinese kung fu as the starting point.

Fox seems to care about this film very much, and naturally a premiere is indispensable. On the premiere, just like "Resident Evil", many directors and stars were invited.

Zhang Yi, a young director from Hong Kong, may not be as famous as a Hollywood actor in the directorial circle.

Although "Resident Evil" is Zhang Yi's best movie at the Hollywood box office, what makes many directors talk about it is the extremely dismal box office "Crazy Racing".

"Hey, it's Mr. Cameron?" Zhang Yi didn't expect this Cameron to come to see his movie again, after "Resident Evil" last time, I wanted to get acquainted with him, but I didn't find anyone, and this time I sent it to the door, Zhang Yi naturally won't let it go.

"Well, you know me?" Cameron didn't seem to expect that Zhang Yi would actually know him.

"Hehe, Mr. Cameron's Terminator is fantastic, I love it. Moreover, the sequel to "First Blood" written by you is also very jīng彩. Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"Hehe, thank you. I've also seen movies that you've directed and even written. The most memorable ones are "Resident Evil" and "Changing Face"! Cameron smiled and said.

"If Mr. Cameron is interested, how about we work together?" Zhang Yi looked at Cameron, and then said with a smile.

"Cooperation?" Cameron looked at this young director from Hong Kong with some surprise. However, then his eyes widened, and he suddenly remembered that this person was not only a director, a screenwriter, but also a producer.

"Yes, cooperation! I want to invest in a film about American secret agents. Mr. Cameron is undoubtedly the best person to direct. Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"The story of the agent? Why don't you shoot it yourself? ”

When Cameron heard this, he looked at Zhang Yi and asked with some curiosity. Zhang Yi's screenwriting ability, whether Cameron is a director or a screenwriter, naturally knows and even admires it.

"Hehe, you're more suitable than me. Moreover, this film needs the support of the United States. Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"U.S. zhèngfǔ support?" When Cameron heard this, he looked at Zhang Yi with some confusion.

"It's a big scene, and it requires the U.S. Air Force to send Harrier fighter jets. It may even be necessary to release air-to-surface missiles to coincide with the plot of the film. Zhang Yi said.

Cameron looked at Zhang Yi with some dumbfounded sounds, and the shock in his heart was indescribable. From this Zhang Yi's words, he can guess what kind of film this is.

"You, you, how much are you going to invest in this movie?" Cameron then asked.

"No less than $100 million!" Zhang Yi said indifferently.

100 million US dollars, not to mention in Hong Kong, even in Hollywood, it is definitely a big production. Cameron didn't expect that the young man in front of him would be so bold.

He either has a bad head, or he has money and no place to spend it. Either that, or with a lot of faith in the film.

"I started to get interested in the film." Cameron then smiled and said.

There's no doubt that Cameron was moved. In the face of a $100 million production, it is estimated that any director will be moved.

"So let's find a time to talk in detail?" Zhang Yi smiled and then said.

Cameron is a money-burning director, there's no doubt about it. But he is also a director who makes money, which is beyond doubt. And Zhang Yi is relieved to invest in him to shoot, that's because this guy's pursuit of perfection in movies has reached a perverted point.

A director who pursues the perfection of the film, spares no money, and does not care about time is undoubtedly reassuring. This is also why, every time this guy increases the budget, he annoys the producer, but there are still so many film companies who give him money.

"As you wish. However, can you tell me the name of this film, so as to calm my curiosity at this time. Otherwise, I'm not in the mood to enjoy your movie in the future. Cameron then said with a smile.

"True Lies!" Zhang Yi then said. (To be continued.) )
