Chapter 394: Dominating the World
Chapter 394 dominates the world
Zhang Yi has written a lot of novels, but he has never adapted his own novels.
Whether it's "Jurassic Park" or "Resident Evil", it's a novel that has a script first and then is written. It can be said that it is an adaptation of a script into a novel, rather than a novel adapting a script and being filmed into a movie.
It's not that Wang Fatzi hasn't read "The Flood Wilderness", but he didn't think that Zhang Yi would make this novel. However, now listening to Zhang Yi's tone, I understand it when I think about it.
Perhaps, when Zhang Yi wrote this novel, he rushed to adapt it into a movie. Moreover, this novel directly integrates ancient Chinese myths and legends. From above, Wang Fatzi saw Zhang Yi's ambition.
At this point, he understood. Why was the sales of "Zhu Xian" so amazing, countless fans of "Zhu Xian" expected Zhang Yi to put the novel on the screen, but he sold the copyright to Xu Ke for one dollar.
"Zhu Xian" writes love, and Westerners may not like it. But "The Flood" is different, if he is really put on the screen, then the Lich War, etc., its visual shock will definitely make Western fans stunned.
"I'll shoot that novel, and if it's not popular, I guess I'll have to wait a few years. Today's special effects technology is too far from what I imagined. Zhang Yi shook his head and said, then looked at Wang Fatzi, and continued, "You came to me, didn't you just say these inconsequential things?" ”
"Keong's movie is coming out soon. You're one of the investors, so you won't not participate in the premiere, right? I know you're busy preparing for your wedding all this time? But it shouldn't be a delay in the night, right? Wang Fatzi then said.
"Ahh Liu Wei Wall? What movie is he? Zhang Yi looked at Wang Fatzi and said, "You don't mean that "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", right?" ”
"Which one do you think is the other?" Wang Fatzi glanced at Zhang Yi and said. The resentment in his eyes seemed to say that you invested in him to shoot that film, don't you remember?
"I didn't expect this movie, it's all filmed." Zhang Yi smiled and said. There was some exclamation in his tone.
"You think everyone who makes movies is like you. It took nearly two years to shoot. Wang Fatzi smiled and said. Then he looked at Zhang Yi and waited for the result.
"How long will it premiere?" Zhang Yi then asked.
"December 1st, that is, the day after tomorrow." Wang Fatzi then said.
"I'll go." Zhang Yi nodded, and then said.
On December 1, 93, "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" premiered. This film, which was released several years in advance, did not change the two leading actors, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun are still played by the original actors. And these two actors are now singers of Zhang Yi's record company.
However, another big supporting role, that is, the actor Chiba Shinichi, who won the Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards for this film, did not play Xiongba.
The actor who played Xiongba became Hong Kong actor Qin Pei.
Shinichi Chiba is an excellent actor, this is true. But after all, he is the ** who accompanies the mountain, and he can be regarded as a person in the martial arts world. And the grievances between the martial arts world and Zhang Yi are known to the whole world. Liu Weiqiang and Wang Fatzi naturally would not find such an actor to play Xiongba.
What's more, Zhang Yi also invested a lot in this film. It is reasonable to say that Chiba Shinichi will not be able to win this role equivalent to the third protagonist.
"Storm and Storm" is the first comic-style film in Chinese cinema. On top of the publicity, this will naturally not be spared. Of course, the word "Zhang Yi" is the most publicized.
At the premiere of the film, Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin appeared on the red carpet of the premiere, which immediately detonated all the media.
Looking at the crazy media reporter, Wang Fatzi smiled bitterly, and then said to the literary association around him: "I regret that I came to him." As soon as this guy came, he stole all the limelight. Those media's interest in movies, after seeing him, all left behind. ”
"Huh!" The Literary Association smiled disapprovingly and said, "When the media reports on him tomorrow, this film will definitely be mentioned." After all, this is the first time he has appeared in front of the public since announcing his marriage. As soon as he is mentioned, it is natural to mention that he came to the premiere of this film. ”
"Why do you look nervous?" Wang Fatzi then looked at Liu Weiqiang on the other side and said.
"I'm afraid that Mr. Zhang will not be satisfied with this film." Liu Weiqiang immediately voiced his concerns. His ability to be a director is completely supported by Zhang Yi. Of course, without Zhang Yi's support, he will also direct sooner or later. It's just because Zhang Yi's appearance was advanced.
However, now in the Hong Kong film circle, many people seem to be able to be a director, that is, Zhang Yi's support. "Crazy Boy" is undoubtedly a success, but the investment in the film is not large. But this film involves a lot of special effects. Moreover, Zhang Yi happens to be the most authoritative in the special effects release. This authority, not only in Hong Kong, but also in Hollywood, Zhang Yi's attainments in special effects are also an authority.
"He'll be satisfied." Wang Fatzi then said.
"Originally, I had this confidence. But after reading Mr. Zhang's "Inception", my confidence was completely shattered. Liu Weiqiang shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"How does your film compare to Inception?" Wang Fatzi looked at Liu Weiqiang and said with a wry smile.
And at this time, the Literary Association just said two words lightly: "Looking for abuse!" ”
"Ah Qiang, Inception has invested more than 100 million, or even 200 million dollars. And the investment in "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" is only tens of millions, which is still Hong Kong dollars. There is no comparison in terms of the amount of money invested. Wang Fatzi smiled and said, "What's more, do you think there are any Hong Kong or Hollywood films that can be compared with Ah Yi's "Inception" in terms of special effects?" What's more, the genre styles of the two films are different, and there is no comparable surname. ”
"Mr. Zhang has gone in front of all Chinese filmmakers, and we seem to have lost the qualification to compare with him, so we can only follow his footsteps and keep chasing." The Literary Association said with some emotion.
The influence of "Inception" in the world film industry is not only due to its achievements at the box office, but also from the value revealed by the film itself. Especially on top of special effects, the imagination will be endless.
Special effects technology can show dreams, so what else can't it show? Moreover, "Inception" has a high demand for many awards at the next Oscars, especially the best visual effects, which is estimated to be ironclad.
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin answered a few questions from media reporters, and then walked over to Wang Fatzi and others.
"Hehe, let's talk about how many awards you can nominate for the Oscars next year, and how many awards you can win!" Wang Fatzi smiled and then said.
"Really? I'll find out after a while. Zhang Yi smiled, he naturally heard that Wang Fatzi was not talking about this at all, but there was no need to delve into it.
"Maybe the Oscar nomination is just the right time to make your wedding even more joyful." Wang Fatzi smiled and said.
"Huh!" Zhang Yi smiled and did not answer.
He doesn't care about any Oscar awards, even if he sweeps the Oscars, in Zhang Yi's opinion, he can't talk about adding joy to his wedding.
In Zhang Yi's view, the joy of winning the award is too different from the joy of getting married.
There may be only one thing that can really be happy.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi looked at Zhou Huimin, and then took her hand and walked inside.
Throughout the premiere, Zhang Yi was naturally the biggest name in the show. Of course, this is not to say that Zhang Yi is a big name, but to talk about his status and influence in the film and television industry.
Today, Hong Kong is unrivaled. is Shao Daheng, who can only be regarded as highly respected now. It cannot be said that his status is higher than Zhang Yi, and his influence is greater than Zhang Yi.
The investment in "Storm and Storm" is also a big production in Hong Kong. Nowadays, almost all major productions have premieres. This film is no exception.
And the theme song of the film is naturally sung by the two leading actors of this film, Zheng Yijian and Guo Fucheng.
At the premieres of many films, the theme song is almost put to the end, but this time it starts with the theme song, which has some freshness. (To be continued.) )
