Chapter 331 Zhang Yi's Waterloo? (below)

The vision on the war scene in Zhang Yi's version of "Mulan" is not the last, but it is absolutely unprecedented. The war scenes of the original "Mulan", compared to it, are simply children fighting.

The movie tells the story of Mulan, and it is expressed in a way of growing up. As soon as Mulan came out, she was a rookie and grew up on the battlefield.

And her growth has not many scenes, and the cruelty in the war is naturally expressed through guò Mulan shuffling wooden cards (military cards). Moreover, every time Mulan shuffles the wooden cards, her identity gradually changes. This also shows her growth.

I'm afraid that their family will be sad when they see the bloody military badge.

That's why Mulan shuffles the wooden cards.

In the end, although the war was finally won, Mulan lost her love.

For the sake of the peace of the country, she could give up her life and also had to give up her love.

"It's easy for me to give up my life, but it's hard for me to give up the person I love the most!"

The final ending is not a happy ending, but it can better reflect the nobility of Mulan.

Listening to the overwhelming applause, Zhang Yi had a smile on his face, but there was not much sense of accomplishment in his heart. His film is very different from the original, and even surpasses the original by a lot, but after all, it comes from the original.

What really makes Zhang Yi feel a sense of accomplishment may only be his novel "The Flood", and he has planned to shoot this novel into a movie, but the current special effects technology has not yet achieved the desired effect.

The premiere of "Mulan" was undoubtedly a success. And the box office of the premiere is also quite amazing, especially in Hong Kong, although it did not break the probability set by "Jurassic Park", but it also made other movies unreachable.

A week later, with a box office of more than 16 million, it topped the Hong Kong box office week, and it may be difficult for the whole film to break 50 million. But with 40 million, there is no problem anymore.

"Mulan" continues to be hot at the box office in other regions, especially in Taiwan, where it is converted into Hong Kong dollars in one week of release, nearly 20 million.

Zhang Yi is still very satisfied with this box office result.

However, this result is very different from the results of his previous movies, especially the results of "Jurassic Park". Some media directly said that this film will be Zhang Yi's "Waterloo". There are even media outlets who directly say that this film is Zhang Yi's "Waterloo"!

At a time when many people are struggling with the Hong Kong box office of tens of millions or 20 million, Zhang Yi did not win 50 million in a movie, and some media actually said that the movie was Zhang Yi's "Waterloo", which is really strange.

Although, the film still makes money, and it earns a lot. However, many media outlets believe. This film with pure oriental characteristics has already done so at the box office in Southeast Asia and other places, and it is difficult to make a difference in the European and American markets.

And. Zhang Yi filmed this film, and he did not try to please the European and American markets. For example, there were some pseudo-scientific things in "Mythology" that could please the European and American markets.

"Mulan" is a purely oriental historical story, and there is nothing that Western audiences dare to be interested in today. How much box office results can this film achieve in markets such as Europe and the United States. None of the media outlets were optimistic.

Moreover, Zhang Yi's film was first released in Southeast Asia, and it may have been seen.

Some people don't understand. Why did Zhang Yi make such a film? With his influence in the world film market, making a film that caters to European and American tastes has achieved excellent results after all. Moreover, shooting such a movie, in the eyes of everyone, is not difficult for Zhang Yi at all.

Many of the films written by Zhang Yi have been released in Europe and the United States, whether it is "The Shawshank Redemption", or "The Mummy", and the box office results of "True Lies" directed by Cameron before are extremely impressive. Moreover, if Zhang Yi shoots it in person, with his box office appeal, after all, it will make the box office go further.

For Zhang Yi, who occupies three of the top five seats at the global box office and has one movie that is the world's box office, how can it be difficult to shoot a movie that caters to everyone's tastes.

But Zhang Yi obviously didn't make a movie for the box office this time!

Of course, for Zhang Yi, interest is greater than the box office, after all, Zhang Yi is not short of money. With his popularity, the possibility of accompanying money is almost zero.

A week after its release in Southeast Asia and Chinese mainland, "Mulan" immediately landed in the European and American markets. She didn't fight other films like "Jurassic Park" and was powerless. But in the first week, it still rushed to the weekly box office champion of the North American charts. It's just that the second place is very tight.

Although the box office of this film is not as domineering as "Jurassic Park", its reputation is much better than "Jurassic Park". Whether it is the Southeast Asian media, or the European and American media, the evaluation of this film is full of praise.

Of course, Southeast Asian media mostly focus on the values expressed in the film and the filming techniques. The European and American media, on the other hand, focus on the visuals inside, especially the war scenes. There is no media yet, directly called Zhang Yi, who is the top Cun Zài among the directors who control the big scenes.

Zhang Yi's film has become a hot topic of discussion during this time, but Zhang Yi has not paid attention to it anymore.

It's rare to have leisure, and I have nothing to do at home to accompany my father Zhang Dexin and my girlfriend Zhou Huimin. Look at the book and practice the words.

"How many editions of The Voice is this?" Looking at the "good voice" played on the TV, Zhang Yi asked Zhou Huimin next to Xiang Zhi with a smile.

When Zhou Huimin heard this, she glanced at Zhang Yi with a smile and said: ""The Voice" was planned by you, and it was also held in cooperation with your record company, don't you know? ”

Zhang Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "It happened a few years ago, where do I remember it." Although I planned this show, except for the first one, I didn't have anything to do. ”

"It's the fifth." Zhou Huimin didn't seem to want to embarrass Zhang Yi anymore, and then said, "Today is a competition for the top four of the Rowan group!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Yi nodded, he had no interest in TV. Watching the show this time, it's just to accompany Zhou Huimin.

He watched TV, but he wanted the atmosphere.

"Huh? Who is this man? Zhang Yi looked at a student who appeared on the stage and felt a little familiar, but his face did not have the temperament that he would have in the future.

"It seems to be called Zheng Yijian, a popular student of the Rowan group." Zhou Huimin said with a smile, "I heard that the record company is ready to sign him!" ”

"Then let Uncle Zhan sign him!" Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"Oh? He hasn't started singing yet, has he? You're so optimistic about him. Or have you heard him sing before? Zhou Huimin looked at Zhang Yi suspiciously.

"How he sings, I don't know. However, I like his appearance, he is suitable for filmmaking. Zhang Yi said casually.

"Good for film?" Zhou Huimin looked at Zhang Yi, he knew that he had said before that Zhang Weijian was suitable for filmmaking, but not for music. Zhang Weijian didn't think much of Zhang Yi's words at the time, but now the facts have proved Zhang Yi's words.

Zhang Weijian became a smash hit because of Zhang Yi's "Nightclub", but now he is almost starting anew.

Seeing Zheng Yijian, Zhang Yi had several favorite movies in his mind.

"Crazy Boy" series, "Fengyun" series, and "Chinese Heroes"! Of course, there is also a movie starring Zhang Weijian and many stars: "Super School Bully"!

Zhang Yi now plans to invest in a number of films in Hong Kong, including comic book adaptations of "The Heroes of the World" and "Chinese Heroes."

Nowadays, special effects technology is developing rapidly, and it is no longer a problem for the special effects of these two films.

The classic movies starring Zheng Yijian have an indispensable position in the Hong Kong film industry. Although "Crazy Boy" has caused a lot of bad effects, I have to say that it is definitely a pity if Hong Kong movies are missing this series.

Zhang Yi still likes this series of movies very much. It's just that he has no interest in filming, but it doesn't prevent him from putting this series on the screen before. Of course, with his current status, it is indeed inconvenient to shoot such a film. (To be continued......)
