Chapter 229: The Highest-Grossing Movie
Chapter 229 The highest-grossing movie
Zhang Guorong jumped ship, shaking the Hong Kong music scene, and the final blow was none other than Huaxing Records.
The Chinese rookie singing contest cooperated by Huaxing Records and TVB was extremely bleak because of the "The Voice" planned by Zhang Yi, although it is still ongoing, whether it is in the ratings or in terms of quality, there is a world of difference from "The Voice".
Zhang Guorong's jump to Zhang Yi's record company undoubtedly made Huaxing Company worse. However, they can't help Zhang Yi.
The matter was hyped up by the media, and just when the media threatened that Tan Zhang would be inclined to fight for hegemony, a news suddenly broke out that caused a sensation in the Hong Kong music scene again.
Tan Yonglin succeeded Zhang Guorong and left Polygram and also jumped to Jiayi. This completely detonated the music scene.
The protagonists of Tan Zhang's hegemony all jumped to Jiayi, and the fans of the two were collectively sluggish. This, what's going on?
Could it be that Zhang Yi wants to come forward to mediate the fight between the two?
The media and fans speculated, but there was no response from the person involved. Whether it is the two protagonists of Tan and Zhang's hegemony, or Jiayi who is involved, Zhang Yi does not accept any interviews at all for Zhang Yi to shoot the sequel to "Resident Evil".
"Boss." Lin Xiao came in and shouted Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi looked back at Lin Xiao and frowned at the media, and said, "Another reporter wants to interview?" β
"It's not! It's a call from the U.S. side. "The Love of People and Ghosts" has been fully painted in Europe and the United States, and the box office has been counted. Lin Xiao said, with a hint of excitement in his tone and demeanor.
"How much?" Zhang Yi asked.
In addition to Southeast Asia and other places, "Ghost Love" is distributed by companies in the United States. In other words, the box office in Europe and the United States is in the hands of Polar Movie Company.
"The North American box office has exceeded 100 million, and the global box office is nearly 500 million." Lin Xiao said, and then added, "Dollars! β
The original "Ghost Love" has a global box office of more than 500 million, but the 500 million at that time obviously cannot be compared with today's 500 million. Of course, Europe and the United States and other places are a little less than the original. But Southeast Asia has a lot more reasons for Zhang Yi than the original version.
If it can be released in the mainland, it is estimated that there will be more. However, at this time, it is obviously impossible for such a film to be released in the mainland.
In Southeast Asia, it directly broke the myth of Zhang Yi's previous film "Mythology" and refreshed the box office list in various places, especially in Taiwan, where its box office reached a reversal of the sky.
It's not that "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" is better than mythology, I'm afraid that many people watch it, and many of them are because Zhang Yi went. After all, as far as the popular Cheng dΓΉ is concerned. In terms of genre, "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" is weaker than "Myth".
Although the cost of "Ghost Love" is much higher than that of "Myth", it can be converted into US dollars, which is less than 10 million. The global box office of 500 million US dollars, in addition to the cost of production, publicity expenses, and theater dividends, etc., the net profit is definitely the largest among all Zhang Yi's films.
And in terms of box office, it is also the highest box office of Zhang Yi's films. is that "Mythology", which has more release locations than him, is not as good at the global box office as "People and Ghosts".
What's more, "Myth" is co-produced with Yindu Organization, and although the box office in the mainland is very high, there is not much in Zhang Yi's hands.
The film. As far as the box office brings Zhang Yi a profit, it is definitely above 200 million. And that's not counting the others.
I have to say, the movie is really fucking fast!
"Jean Barry. Diller set aside $100 million to fund the company's operations, and I called me the rest. Zhang Yi thought about it and then said.
The Polar Shadow Film Company in the United States is in the development stage. Funding is needed. However, when Zhang Yi left, in addition to investing 100 million funds in "True Lies". There are still tens of millions of funds left, which are enough for this stage of development.
At this time, Zhang Yi has been slowly accumulating funds and preparing for the stock market crash in October next year.
Lin Xiao nodded, and then went out. However, he came back after a while and whispered to Zhang Yi: "Boss, Zhu Hongzhi is here." came with him, as well as his apprentice Liao Jianguo! β
"You settle them down, I can't pull away from it. By the time I've been busy here, it's probably late. Tomorrow morning, I'll go look for them. Zhang Yi thought about it and then said.
The sequel to "Resident Evil" is mostly filmed at night, and by the time the filming is over, it will be very late. As for what Zhu Hongzhi and others came to do, Zhang Yizhi didn't think about it.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yi habitually practiced boxing in the courtyard, and was about to go to find Zhu Hongzhi, but he didn't want him to come first.
"Boss, Master Zhu Hongzhi, they're here." Lin Xiao said to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi watched the charity performance Lin Xiao, and wondered in his heart, then Zhu Hongzhi seemed to be in a hurry to find himself!
"Master Zhu, I was about to go to you, but I didn't expect you to come first. Is there something urgent? Zhang Yi walked into the living room and said to Zhu Hongzhi with a smile.
"Hehe, Master Zhang! It's not me looking for you this time. It was my apprentice's family who asked Master Zhang for something, and I was just making a recommendation. Zhu Hongzhi smiled, and then said, looking at a middle-aged man in his forties and wearing a Mao suit beside him. And behind him there are several young men, who, judging from their posture and appearance, seem to be soldiers, or former soldiers.
Liao Jianguo's family? Zhang Yi seemed to have something in mind. That Liao Jianguo can be regarded as a princeling-like figure in the mainland. One of his cousins was a divisional officer. Moreover, Zhang Yi knew that the force behind Song Xinran was the source of Liao Jianguo's family.
"Hello Mr. Zhang. My name is Liao Qihua, and I am Jianguo's uncle. I heard that Master Zhu and Mr. Zhang knew each other, so I asked Master Zhu to introduce him. I hope you will forgive me for the smell. The middle-aged man in the tunic then stretched out his hand and said.
Zhang Yi shook hands with him, feeling that his hands were calloused at this time, he glanced at him and said, "There and there." Have a seat. I don't know what Mr. Liao is looking for me? β
"I heard that Mr. Zhang has an apprentice named Luo Shukai, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Liao Qihua looked at Zhang Yi and said with a smile.
When Zhang Yi heard this, he frowned, glanced at Liao Jianguo, and naturally knew that he should come because of Luo Shukai's injury, so I am afraid that it has something to do with that incident. So, he said, "There is such a thing! What's the matter, my apprentice is causing trouble on the mainland? β
"That's not it! Your apprentice is now in the Sun Taijiquan Association, although he is not very happy with some people in the Beijing martial arts world. But that doesn't hurt. Liao Qihua shook his head and said. glanced at Zhang Yi, smiled, and asked, "I heard Jianguo say that your apprentice is looking for him in both black and white in the United States?" β
Really! This guy is here for what he has in his hands. It seems that the mainland still has news channels in the United States. Obviously, knowing what Luo Shukai got from the mafia.
Zhang Yi glanced at Liao Qihua, smiled, and said, "There is such a thing, so I asked him to take refuge in the mainland." Speaking of which, he was also implicated by me. When I was in the United States, I gambled with a guy who was close to the American mafia, and I won him a lot of things. That's when it got into a bit of trouble. β
Then Liao Qihua naturally knew the whole story. However, these are clearly not his concerns. Not to mention that Zhang Yi gambled to win tens of millions of dollars for Joseph, and finally won hundreds of theaters in the hands of others.
Winning or losing gambling involves so much money, and it is no wonder that so much money has been invested in the mainland at one time, which has attracted the attention of many central leaders.
Liao Qihua was going to say something again, but he didn't want Xu Liang to walk in at this time, and whispered in Zhang Yi's ear: "Boss, that ghost master from the United States is here in Hong Kong!" β
When Zhang Yi heard this, his face suddenly changed, the ghost master in Xu Liang's mouth was needless to say that it was Tang Xiaoyun, a senior official of the CIA.
As soon as Liao Qihua and the others came, Tang Xiaoyun followed closely, and the matter was clear without saying.
When Luo Shukai arrived on the mainland, the United States naturally would not fail to find out. Just checked, it won't be in the north. Kyo went to arrest people. After all, on the go to the north. It is still very difficult for Beijing to catch a master. Not to mention that the mainland is not open enough now, even if it is like in later generations, it will be difficult for the CIA to arrest people.
Luo Shukai is in the mainland, but people from the mainland come to Hong Kong. Then it is not difficult to speculate that what Luo Shukai got to go to is obviously not on him.
Where, of course, it goes without saying.
Mother. Target! Zhang Yi scolded in his heart. (To be continued......)
