Chapter 393: You want to shoot "The Flood"!?

The news that Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin will get married early next year has lost its heat, and Zhang Yi has stopped a lot.

As for what Huo Zhenyu said about the fighting tournament between South Korea and Thailand, Zhang Yi still doesn't have much interest. Kung Fu has been practiced to his level, and in his opinion, the general fighting competition is like a child's play.

As for the exchange of well-known boxers after the fighting competition, I am a little interested, but I don't know if those Danjin masters will appear. However, Zhang Yi did not hold out much hope. Dan Jin master, like a land immortal, the dragon sees the head but does not see the tail, it seems that this can show his difference.

What's more, if this fight really gets to that point, I'm afraid it will have to go next year.

Zhang Yi prepared for his wedding with peace of mind, and said that he was leisurely.

During this period, a film adapted from Zhang Yi's novel was released all over the world, causing a great sensation. Especially in the West, the film has caused a lot of buzz. The film has achieved extremely dazzling results at the box office and word of mouth.

Zhang Yi's novel is also Zhang Yi's only Western novel "Harry Potter" today!

Zhang Yi's former novel caused a great sensation in the West, and after reading it, many people were confused by the way of cultivating magic described in it, and many people even tried it themselves. Among them is Bali Diller, president of Polar Shadow Films.

Moreover, the best-selling time of this novel coincided with the news that Zhang Yi had died, and then it was rumored that Zhang Yi miraculously escaped the plane crash and survived the shipwreck.

The news of that story is miraculous, and it is still a little unbelievable, even today. According to this novel, many people directly think that Zhang Yi is magical.

In a way, that book also played a great role in promoting the development of the Guoshu Building in various parts of the West. Because, people can't practice magic, so they think that there is no magic foundation. And the foundation of magic, that is, the cultivation of Chinese kung fu.

So I didn't look at the novel, but I still couldn't practice magic according to the book, so I went to learn Chinese kung fu, thinking that I could learn magic after learning Chinese kung fu.

The impact of this novel is so great that it exceeds the imagination of many. Bali Diller, as an excellent president of a film company and a very discerning producer, will naturally not let go of the adaptation of this novel.

It turned out to be an extremely wise decision.

The investment cost only 20 million, and the box office reached hundreds of millions of dollars. And that's just one of the stories. Zhang Yi's novel, based on the length and story surname, it is not impossible to adapt five or six films.

If each film could reach hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, it would be an unimaginable money-making franchise.

There is no doubt that this film is the most profitable adaptation of Zhang Yi's novel. Of course, apart from this one, not many of Zhang Yi's other novels have been changed into movies, but they have also made a lot of money. That is naturally the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series led by Hong Jinbao and others.

Of course, there are also "Zhu Xian" who didn't make money and almost lost their money!

Although "Zhu Xian" has a good reputation, and even shines at the Hong Kong Film Statue and Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, it is a little unsatisfactory at the box office. Especially in the West, it can only be described as bleak. If it weren't for the fact that the Southeast Asian market was unusually popular because of Zhang Yi, it would have been possible to lose money.

The success of "Harry Potter" immediately attracted many people to Zhang Yi's novels, among which Hong Jinbao started and directly attracted huge funds to shoot the third part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Of course, among the huge sums of money, Zhang Yi is naturally indispensable.

"Ghost Blows the Lantern" has a good and bad reputation, but it is very good at the box office, especially in the Western market, it is definitely a very high-grossing Chinese movie. Of course, the highest-grossing Chinese movies were shot by Zhang Yi, especially the previously released "Inception", which directly broke the record of "Jurassic Park".

Actually, it's funny. Whether it is "Jurassic Park" or "Inception", in a sense, both movies are Chinese-language movies.

And Chinese films have done nothing at the world box office, but they firmly occupy the top spot at the box office.

In addition to Zhang Yi's films, other Chinese-language films, whether at the box office or in international awards, especially the Oscars, are difficult to achieve. In this regard, many media have raised their own concerns.

It is impossible for Chinese filmmakers to rely on Zhang Yi to support him alone. Although Zhang Yi is still very young now, only in his twenties. For a director, his twenties are indeed very young, and it is not surprising that there are at least decades to film.

But this matter fell on Zhang Yi, and it was obviously a little hanging.

Although Zhang Yi is young, no one is sure how long he can be afraid of movies. After all, Zhang Yi is not your average film director.

He is not only a film director, but also a big boss of a film company, and he has many theater chains. It's all easy to say, after all, it's related to movies.

But Zhang Yi is still an extremely successful businessman, and his other industries are very extensive and growing. In addition, he is also a world-renowned martial artist, with countless martial arts halls under his command, and even started to hold a Chinese kung fu performance and fighting event.

Who can guarantee that Zhang Yi will always spend his energy on movies, and how many more movies he will shoot himself?

As far as "Inception" is concerned, although the box office is more than one billion US dollars, in addition to the cost of filming and publicity, as well as the dividends of the theater, there are not many people who really go to Jiying Film Company and Zhang Yi.

Of course, the profitability of this movie is very amazing, so amazing that countless film company bosses are envious and jealous. But after all, he spent a lot of time on Zhang Yi,

During that time, Zhang Yi's other industries brought him far more profits than "Inception" brought him.

Of course, Zhang Yi's energy trade-offs will not be determined by how much he earns. Everyone on the earth knows that Zhang Yi does things mostly out of interest. But how long can Zhang Yi's interest in movies be maintained?

Although no one can give a definite answer. But everyone can see that in the past few years, Zhang Yi has shot fewer and fewer films, and each film has been shot for longer and longer.

In the past, Zhang Yi had two films a year, but now it is difficult to have one film in two years. Moreover, now Zhang Yi has stood at the top of the world, both at the box office and in awards. In front, there is no one he is chasing, so how long can his interest in movies be maintained?

Chinese movies can't be supported by one person.

Chinese filmmakers know it, and Zhang Yi knows it too. Therefore, what Zhang Yi needs to do now is not only to promote Chinese actors to the world, but also to promote Chinese directors and other filmmakers to the world.

"Why do you have time to hang out with me?" Zhang Yi smiled and looked at the fat man Wang who walked in.

Wang Fatzi glanced back at the person who left, and then looked at Zhang Yi and replied: "Then Old Monster Xu doesn't really want to change your novel and ask you for copyright, right?" ”

"Oh, how do you know." Zhang Yi smiled and said with some surprise.

"Hehe, your Harry Potter book made a lot of money, and I don't know how many people are targeting your other novels. Didn't Hong Fatzi shoot "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" again? Wang Fatzi smiled and said, "What's more, the people who play special effects in Hong Kong, except for you, belong to Xu Laowei, and he is still before you." Still, he certainly can't play you. It is said that the guy from your "Inception" doesn't know how many times I have watched it. ”

"Do you really think so?" Zhang Yi looked at Wang Fatzi and then said.

"Alright! I still guessed a little bit of Old Monster Xu's thoughts. Wang Fatzi spread his hands, then sat down, and said to Zhang Yi, "The story of Western magic told in "Harry Potter" has been a great success in the world. And whether Xu Ke is filming "Shushan Swordsman" or filming your "Zhu Xian", it will be a magical story of the East, and the result is a little unsatisfactory. He was a little unconvinced. Why can the magical stories of the West be so successful and the East not? ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he nodded, and Wang Fatzi said that it was just one of the reasons. In fact, Zhang Yi still knows that if the Oriental myths and stories are recognized by the Western market, then so many Chinese myths and stories will be a massive theme, which will definitely play a great role in the export of Eastern culture.

"You promised?" Wang Fatzi looked at Zhang Yi and asked.

"I won't give the copyright to that novel to anyone!" Zhang Yi shook his head and said.

"Don't give it to anyone. Do you want to shoot it yourself! You're going to shoot "The Flood"! When Wang Fatzi heard this, he looked at Zhang Yi with some surprise. (To be continued.) )
