Chapter 384: The premiere of "Inception".
Chapter 384 "Inception" premiere
Time flies quickly, and at the end of June 93, Zhang Yi took the creator of "Inception" to Los Angeles by plane.
There were many people who picked up the airport, including two of Zhang Yi's apprentices in addition to Bali Diller. John and Swarzenegger.
Swarzenegger worships Zhang Yi as his teacher, and learning kung fu is just a reason, and he really likes the benefits that Zhang Yi brings to him.
Swarzenegger has political ambitions, while Zhang Yi is rich and has an unusual relationship with the Bush family, plus he also has an apprentice of the Rockefeller family. This is of great benefit to him, so every time Zhang Yi comes to Los Angeles, as long as others are there, he will go to pick him up.
And John Bai is under Zhang Yimen, which is the opposite of Swarzenegger. It's really to learn kung fu. Even in order to learn kung fu, he spoke Chinese very smoothly.
Zhang Yi saw Tang Xiaoyun's shadow in him. In the future, it will not be difficult to reach Tang Xiaoyun's realm.
At this time, John's kung fu has made rapid progress, although he has not yet entered the chemical industry, but it is not far away. It's not terrible to know kung fu, but it's very scary when kung fu reaches a certain level.
He was originally a marginal child of the Rockefeller family, but now he has gradually entered the core. The power in his hands is also gradually growing.
But in order to learn kung fu and study Chinese culture, he is very concerned about respecting teachers. Therefore, Zhang Yi came to Los Angeles, and every time he would go to pick him up.
Zhang Yi has a property in Los Angeles, and although there are a lot of people who came with him this time, they can also live.
"Ah Yi, why is your land bigger than the house in Hong Kong? It's a pity, it's a waste! Hong Jinbao walked around, and then said to Zhang Yi.
"A house in Hong Kong is a home, and it's just a temporary home. Home, it doesn't need to be big, it's just warm. And this temporary residence is just a pomp and circumstance for those ghosts. What's more, you won't stay in a hotel when you come older. Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"It's more luxurious than staying in a hotel!" Hong Jinbao said with a sigh.
"There are two more days left for you to walk around on your own." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "I still have some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you."
On the evening of July 1, the premiere of "Inception", Zhang Yi's longest-shooting film, was held. invited people from several major Hollywood studios, among which Columbia Pictures will naturally not let go.
Of course, in addition to this, countless famous directors and celebrities have also been invited.
"Mr. Spielberg, you are much more emaciated than before. I know it's a heavy movie. But if you can't get out of it, it's very dangerous. You need to rest, you need to adjust. Zhang Yi was startled when he saw Spielberg's appearance.
"Schindler's List" has been finished for a long time, but looking at Spielberg's appearance, it seems that he is still addicted to that movie.
"I think you're right. I should adjust that. So, I'm here tonight. Spielberg smiled and said.
"Welcome." Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang, I don't know if I have time. I'd like to ask you to take a look at that movie and give some comments. You know, in the words of you Chinese, one person is short, and everyone is long. I don't want any flaws in this film. Spielberg then said. The tone is very sincere.
"I'd love to see that movie too." Zhang Yi smiled and said.
Zhang Yi also watched that movie in his previous life, and he also knew some of the goofs in it. Of course, he didn't find those goofs when he watched them, but only learned about them when he watched the movie's Baidu Encyclopedia later.
If those goofs are changed, the film will undoubtedly be more rigorous and classic. The factual errors, coherence errors, display errors and anachronism errors in it are all modified, then this film may really be impeccable.
"I'm also looking forward to Mr. Zhang's film." Spielberg then said.
"Here comes Columbia Pictures. The man who walked in front was the current president of Columbia Pictures, named Ichiro Ishii. Bali Diller whispered to Zhang Yi, "That person has a good eye. Last time, if they hadn't argued with you and angered your fans, although the investment was large, they would never lose money, and they were likely to make a lot of money. ”
"Hehe, I also watched the movie. As far as the movie itself goes, it's really good. However, the box office of the movie is high, and the movie itself must not only be excellent, but also occupy a large proportion in the way of publicity. It's the release time, and sometimes it's important. Zhang Yi smiled and said.
The important surname of the release time, there are two movies in the previous life that are the most typical. And both are low-cost and high-box office.
One is "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" starring the article, if it wasn't released on Singles' Day, it is estimated that it would not have reached that box office. The other is Xu Zheng's self-directed and self-starred "Thai Embarrassment", among countless tragic movies, it is difficult not to stand out.
"Mr. Zhang, we finally met. To introduce myself, my name is Ichiro Ishii, and I am now the president of Columbia Pictures. Ishii Ichiro said to Zhang Yi with a smile.
"Hello. I'm glad you came to the premiere of my film. Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"I just want to see how Mr. Zhang got his hands dirty. People will always encounter some setbacks. Ichiro Ishii smiled and said.
"Huh. I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. Since my debut, Zhang Yizhi, I have shot countless investment films, but I really haven't planted my head. Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"Then we'll see." Ishii Ichiro said lightly. Then ignore Zhang Yi and walk directly to the other side.
Spielberg is here, and Lucas, who is his best friend and has cooperated with Zhang Yi, will naturally not be absent. The film he collaborated with Zhang Yi was not as amazing as Spielberg's collaboration at the Oscars, but it did not return empty-handed. Moreover, it is also extremely amazing at the box office. In short, both at the box office and word of mouth, it is very successful.
The main reason why Lucas came here was not because of Zhang Yi's invitation, but because he was attracted by the film itself. He has seen the trailer and can still restrain the story shown in it, but he is very interested in the special effects technology shown in it. He was curious to know how Zhang Yi and his Polar Shadow Special Effects Company did it.
Moreover, he is a director, so he naturally knows that there are definitely many of the most exciting and shocking things shown in a film trailer. Then it means that there are more shocking special effects in this film than in the trailer.
"I have a lot of expectations for the visual effects that Mr. Zhang's film shows. I'm also wondering, how are the special effects done? Or do you use props and add digital special effects? Lucas said to Zhang Yi.
"Props, special effects, plus some shooting techniques. To be honest, the special effects didn't work out what I was expecting. Obviously, the research on special effects technology needs to be strengthened. Zhang Yi nodded and said. In filming this film, Zhang Yi and others overcame many difficulties and great ones. Although the special effects did not meet Zhang Yi's expectations, they are absolutely amazing today, and even in future generations.
"Hehe, Mr. Zhang's requirements for special effects are always so strict. I've seen the special effects in the trailer, and it can be said that it has surpassed the technology of this period. However, as Mr. Zhang said, the research on special effects technology should indeed be strengthened. The movies of the future are probably special effects movies. Lucas smiled and said.
"Who's that man?" After Lucas left, Zhang Yi suddenly saw a familiar person, and immediately asked Bali Diller beside him.
Bali Diller frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "An actor, now called Nicholas. Cage, good acting. But it's not very famous in Hollywood. But he had a very famous uncle, Francis. Ford. Coppola. Why, you wouldn't want to make a movie with him? ”
"Huh. I'll talk about that later. Zhang Yi smiled and said.
Nicholas was definitely an extremely dazzling star in Hollywood in the 90s. Although he starred in "Changing Face" has been made out by Zhang Yi. But there are still many classics, but there are not. Zhang Yi didn't mind writing him out and then investing in filming. As for directing, Zhang Yi has no interest. (To be continued.) )
