Chapter 247: Among the Hostages, Those Guys Are Dead (Part I)
Chapter 247 There is him among the hostages, and those guys are dead (I)
Zhang Yi won the Best Original Screenplay Award at the 59th Academy Awards, and spread to the world through live TV, broadcasts, and other channels.
And that's just the beginning!
In this sentence, Zhang Yi's light tone revealed a sky-high confidence. Whether this is talking about him alone, or all Chinese filmmakers. No one doubted him.
Today, Zhang Yi is only 20 years old, whether he is the youngest Oscar winner for Best Screenplay or not, he still has a long way to go.
Bali Diller looked at Zhang Yi with a calm face, and had to admire this boss in his heart, who won the Oscar, and was the first Chinese to win the Oscar, he was so indifferent, you can imagine how terrifying his state of mind was.
There are people who win Oscars, there are people who burst into tears and even cry, and there are people who are incoherent or even faint directly. But like Zhang Yi's indifferent face, calm as if he had nothing to do with him, I'm afraid there is no one else except him.
"Ah Yi, show me!" Zhang Yi walked down, and Zhou Huimin couldn't wait to grab the trophy and look at it over and over again.
"I'm curious to know, why are you so calm? Is it because you don't care about this award? Or is your state of mind already reaching something, well, how do you say it in Chinese, don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a young man. Cameron asked curiously.
And the Bali Diller also looked at it with a curious face.
"Pretended!" Zhang Yi smiled and said.
When Cameron and Barry Diller heard this, they were all stunned, and then they laughed bitterly, and Cameron said: "You are an excellent actor!" Oss Best Actor, you definitely have a chance to win him. β
"Huh!" Zhang Yi smiled and did not speak.
"If the best picture was won by "The Love of Ghosts", would you still be so calm?" Cameron asked.
"No play!" Zhang Yi said lightly.
"And who do you think it will be?" Cameron then asked.
"Field Platoon." Zhang Yi smiled and said. Anyway, tonight has already revealed the "heavenly opportunity". Wouldn't care about coming back again.
"How come you don't have faith? "The Love of People and Ghosts" is extremely competitive both in terms of its own quality and its influence. Cameron looked at Zhang Yi with some confusion. The guy next to him, sometimes full of confidence, sometimes no confidence makes people feel inferior.
"If the starring roles weren't me and Xiaomin, maybe it might be." Zhang Yi said lightly.
Zhang Yi stood on the basis of the original version, and the shooting was definitely better than the original, at least the goofs in the original version all disappeared in the film. But he still doesn't have confidence, not how good other films are. It's because the male and female lead actors are Chinese.
The two films are the same as Cheng DΓΉ, and the films related to the Chinese will definitely fail. Even if that movie is better, if it is not excellent, then it will fail.
Xenophobia, it's the same everywhere.
Except, of course, in some places in the land of China. Foreign imports, that's a good thing. To sum it up in one lyric, that is: the moon in foreign countries is relatively round.
Those who worship foreign flattery have lost themselves.
Cameron listened. He opened his mouth, but stopped talking. He couldn't find any reason to refute Zhang Yi's words. Not to mention anything else, he can foresee that if the male and female protagonists of "Human Ghost Love" are Westerners. Its box office will be much higher in Europe and the United States.
As Zhang Yi expected, the best picture was won by "Field Platoon".
The 59th Oscars came to an end, and Zhang Yi's first expedition to Hollywood came to an end. But as Zhang Yi would say, this is just the beginning.
Four nominations for "People and Ghosts". won Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Screenplay, and although Best Cut and Best Picture failed, they won the first award. It's quite a success.
The awards are over, but the rest is not over.
"There's a cocktail party tomorrow, which is jointly organized by the Oscar organizing committee and Vanity Fair. At that time, many people in the circle will participate. Boss, whether as the owner of a film company or as a director, you should not be absent. After the end, Barry Diller said to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi looked at Zhou Huimin and listened, then nodded and said, "Xiaomin and I will participate, and you will come to the hotel to pick us up when the time comes." β
"Good!" Barry Diller nodded and said.
The next day, all major media reported on the grand occasion of the 59th Oscars yesterday, and many of them focused on Zhang Yi's award.
When the news spread to Southeast Asia, it immediately caused a great sensation, especially in Hong Kong, where major media outlets reported on the front page and invited countless commentators to express their views.
Best Picture and Best Cut didn't win, but for everyone, Zhang Yi achieved unprecedented success. It has achieved great glory for Chinese filmmakers.
At this time, Zhang Yi took Zhou Huimin, Li Xiao and others to follow Bali Diller to attend a cocktail party.
Coming to the door of the hotel, Zhang Yi suddenly stopped and frowned.
"Ah Yi, what's wrong?" Zhou Huimin saw Zhang Yi's appearance, and then asked.
"It's okay! I just remembered something. Zhang Yi smiled and said.
Zhou Huimin did not doubt him, and followed Bali Diller in front of him.
At the reception in the hall on the fourth floor, when Zhang Yi and others walked in, there were already many people inside. And Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin and other Oriental faces are very conspicuous, not to mention that Zhang Yi has a high reputation in the United States itself, and yesterday he showed his face at the Oscars.
Of course, what attracted Zhang Yi to them was naturally not his popularity, but his own value. For those actors in Hollywood, Zhang Yi is not only an excellent screenwriter and director, but also the owner of a film company. Although his film company can't be compared with a big film company like Warner Fox, the first film of his film company is a large-scale production with an investment of hundreds of millions.
This is undoubtedly a demonstration of the power of his film company. has a good relationship with Zhang Yi, and even a familiar face, who can guarantee that the next big production invested by his film company, ZuΓ², will not use him?
"Li Xiao, take a look around. When I came in, something didn't feel right. Zhang Yi whispered to Li Xiao.
When Li Xiao heard this, his face suddenly became stern. He was the highest kung fu among Xu Liang, and when he started to mix with Zhang Yi, he was already at the peak of his dark strength, and after he became a personal bodyguard for Zhang Yi, he often exchanged boxing skills with Zhang Yi.
The higher the kung fu, the more you feel, and the more you feel the mystery of kung fu. For Zhang Yi's perception of approaching, not seeing, hearing, and avoiding danger, he naturally understands it. Zhang Yi said that it didn't feel right, it was definitely not untargeted, and there must be potential dangers.
"Ah Yi, what did you say to Li Xiao? God mysterious. Zhou Huimin glanced back at Zhang Yi and asked with some curiosity.
"Hehe, it's fine. Li Xiao didn't like the atmosphere here, so I asked him to wander around. Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"Oh!" Zhou Huimin nodded, looked to the side, and said, "Cameron and a big one are here." β
"Hmm!" Zhang Yi looked over and smiled. Isn't the big guy in Zhou Huimin's mouth the Swarzenegger who played the male protagonist in "True Lies".
"True Lies" appeared several years in advance, but the actor did not change. Perhaps, Cameron and Swarzenegger have a very happy cooperation.
"Hi. Mr. Zhang, let me introduce to you, this is Swarzenegger, a very good actor, and he starred in "True Lies". Cameron said, and introduced to Swarzenegger, "This is Zhang Yi from Hong Kong, and he is also the boss of Jiying Film Company, "True Lies" is not only invested by him, but also written by him. And this beautiful lady beside him is his girlfriend Miss Zhou Huimin. β
"Hello, Mr. Zhang. Your name is like thunder. Nice to see you. Swarzenegger smiled and stretched out his hand and said to Zhang Yi.
"Hello, Mr. Swarzenegger! I'm glad to meet you too. Zhang Yi smiled and reached out to shake it.
