Chapter 195: The National Art Building and the Kung Fu Movie (Part II)
Chapter 195 Guoshu Building and Kung Fu Movie (Medium)
Zhang Yi has undoubtedly been busy recently.
There are too many things involved in the Guoshu Building, and Zhang Yidu has rarely participated in the post-production of "Mythology". Overseas Chinese boxers were invited to Hong Kong to participate in the opening of the Guoshu Building, and some of the most famous boxers, Zhang Yi had to come forward.
And the American master Zhu Hongzhi, one of the most influential grandmasters among overseas Chinese boxers, Zhang Yi personally went to the airport to greet him. And with him was his apprentice Luo Shukai.
Luo Shukai fell into the mafia in the United States, boxed for him, injured Zhu Hongzhi's closed disciples, and finally broke away from the mafia, Zhu Hongzhi also made a lot of efforts. What's more, this time he was invited to come, and it was reasonable for Zhang Yi to greet him in person.
"Master Zhu!" Zhang Yi took Luo Shukai and others to greet him, and said with a smile.
"Master Zhang!" Zhu Hongzhi also smiled and said.
Zhang Yi glanced at Zhu Hongzhi's side, but did not see Liao Jianguo, frowned, and glanced at Luo Shukai beside him.
"Hehe, Jianguo went back to the mainland, so I didn't come this time. He competed fairly with the apprentices, won or lost without complaints, and Master Zhang had to worry about it. Zhu Hongzhi smiled, seemed to see what Zhang Yi was thinking, and then said. The meaning in the words is nothing more than to sue Zhang Yi that Liao Jianguo did not come, and he didn't care about what happened last time.
"Hehe, last time Shukai, I didn't thank Master Zhu for his help." Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"They are all Chinese, and they should help. What's more, it's just a gesture. Zhu Hongzhi waved his hand and said.
"Master Zhu, please. We'll talk about it later. Zhang Yi then said.
In the car, Zhu Hongzhi looked at Zhang Yi, and then said: "Master Zhang's Guoshu Building this time has a great impact, and there are many media reports in the United States. Moreover, Master Zhang set off a Chinese kung fu craze in the United States last time, and many Chinese martial arts gyms benefited from it. ”
When Zhang Yi heard this, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the American boxer would take the initiative to ask. After all, if they went to the United States Founding Art Building, their martial arts business would be affected after all.
Is this a temptation? Or is it an invitation? Zhang Yi was a little unsure.
At the beginning, in the Hong Kong Founding Building, the resistance was not small, if it were not for the support of Master Chen, the great master of Taiji, and the Dasheng Splitting Association and the Yongchun Association, it would be difficult for the Hong Kong Guoshu Building to be opened. Moreover, even if they supported it, Zhang Yi had to fight a game to calm the scene.
After being surprised, Zhang Yi was immediately relieved. If you don't have some real skills to open a martial arts hall overseas, it is simply impossible. But even if you can fight, without the support of forces behind you, it is difficult to move an inch. The American Chinese Martial Arts Center is inextricably linked with Hongmen. Either they are from Hongmen, or they are attached to Hongmen.
Zhu Hongzhi, as a well-known big boxer in Hongmen, has a very high prestige, and there are few people in the Hongmen in the United States who can compare with him.
"The son of the Huo family came to me before and wanted to build another Guoshu building in Taipei. I was about to take advantage of Master Xue Lianxin's visit to Hong Kong to ask him for his opinion. As for the Jianshu Building in the United States, I don't know what Master Zhu's opinion is? Zhang Yi smiled and said. did not answer directly, but probed Zhu Hongzhi's tone.
Zhu Hongzhi naturally heard Zhang Yi's intentions, then smiled and said: "Whether it is Hong Kong or Taipei, it can be said that we Chinese have their own land. The Founding Art Building is only facing the Chinese martial arts community, and the source of resistance is nothing more than the internal Chinese boxers. But in the United States, there is a difference. Between Chinese boxers, although there is no lack of secret fighting, they are still very united on the surface. If Mr. Zhang is in the Jianshu Building in the United States, the Chinese boxers will naturally support it. Resistance, naturally, comes from the outside. ”
Zhang Yi nodded, understanding the meaning of Zhu Hongzhi's words. Chinese boxers in the United States are not tempting, but inviting.
"Who is the most powerful and influential in the American martial arts world?" Zhang Yi then asked.
"The martial arts world, followed by the Chinese martial arts world. Master Zhang showed his hands on American television, setting off a Chinese kung fu craze, and the Chinese martial arts community has a tendency to catch up. When Master Zhang went to the United States Jianshu Building, the greatest resistance naturally came from the martial arts world. Secondly, South Korea and Thailand also have a lot of influence in the martial arts world. Zhu Hongzhi said.
"Guoshu Building, I will open all over the world. However, now is not the best time to go to the American Building of Nations. My influence in the U.S. is far less than in Southeast Asia. Zhang Yi then said.
Zhu Hongzhi nodded when he heard this. The reason why Hong Kong's Guoshu Building is so sensational has a lot to do with Zhang Yi's influence in Southeast Asia. Although Zhang Yi is not famous in the United States, his influence is far less than in Southeast Asia.
Let's take the simplest example. Zhang Yi is in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even all over Southeast Asia, and he invites celebrities from all over the world. Those celebrities and big names will give Zhang Yi face and be invited to go. But in the United States, there are definitely not many people who are invited.
Zhang Yi's influence and the influence of various celebrities have contributed to the sensation of Hong Kong Guoshu Building!
After settling down Zhu Hongzhi and the others, and talking to them about some boxing experience, Zhang Yi said goodbye and left.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
Zhang Yi walked into a conference room and said with a smile.
"Ah Yi, when did you become so polite." Hong Jinbao waved his hand and said.
At this time, in the conference room, in addition to Hong Jinbao, there were also his senior brothers, as well as the major martial arts instructors in Hong Kong, such as the Chengjia class, the Liu family class, the Yuan family class, and Cheng Xiaodong.
"Mr. Zhang, you asked us people this time, I don't know what happened?" Liu Jialiang said. In fact, he vaguely guessed a few points in his heart. Because the people who come here all have a common characteristic. Combined with the recent boiling Guoshu Building, if you can't guess a few points, then you don't need to mix it up.
"You are all Hong Kong's premier martial arts instructors, and I bring you all together to naturally want to discuss kung fu movies with you!" Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"Exploring kung fu movies?" Everyone looked at each other, and there was some anticipation in their eyes. Zhang Yi's "Ip Man" has achieved a box office of hundreds of millions in the mainland, which makes everyone have a higher understanding of Zhang Yi's ability to control kung fu films.
"Kung fu movies are famous all over the world for Mr. Bruce Lee, but they are also gradually declining because of Bruce Lee's death. Subsequently, comedy kung fu films became the dominant kung fu film in Hong Kong. However, although comedy kung fu films are all the rage in Southeast Asia, they are not recognized by European and American fans. Zhang Yi smiled and said, "You all know that I, Zhang Yi, am a person who practices martial arts, and I am responsible for the spread of martial arts." And kung fu movies are undoubtedly the best way to promote Chinese kung fu. Today, let's talk about how to use guò kung fu movies to carry forward our Chinese kung fu. also give us Hong Kong's kung fu films to explore a feasible way. ”
"Kung fu films, in fact, are martial arts films, martial arts films, and films with the theme of showing Chinese martial arts skills. Other monster films, sword films, etc. are actually a kind of martial arts kung fu films. I think all of you here are much better than me in this research, so I won't be here to do anything. Zhang Yi swept the people in the conference room, and then said, "How about everyone express their opinions?" ”
"Mr. Zhang plans to make a kung fu movie?" Yuan Heping then asked.
Zhang Yi has now finished filming "Myth", but his next film plan has been heard of by people in the circle, but he has not heard of a plan for a kung fu film. Then, when he invited so many martial arts fingers to come, he must not just discuss the development of kung fu films, but have a plan to make kung fu films, and this plan is probably not as simple as one or two.
"I plan to invest 100 million, or even more, in kung fu films. Combined with the style of gods and ghosts, traditional martial arts, urban comedy style, combined with science fiction style, etc., I want to export Chinese kung fu culture to the world! Zhang Yi smiled and said lightly.
Zhang Yi's tone was very light, but the impact was extremely strong. In particular, the word "100 million" shocked everyone in the conference room. (To be continued.) )
