Chapter 350: "Forrest Gump" Released (continued)
Chapter 350 "Forrest Gump" released (continued)
Young, energetic.
The meaning of Zhang Yi's words naturally means that Akio Morita is old.
Akio Morita naturally heard the irony in Zhang Yi's words. What's more, what he said to Zhang Yi just now sounded like a compliment, but with his tone and demeanor, it was not the same sarcasm for Zhang Yi.
Moreover, he mentioned movies, he mentioned the world of martial arts, he mentioned the world of business. And in these three aspects, Zhang Yi and him have conflicts.
"Young people just have faith. Everyone knows that Mr. Zhang is good at shooting commercial blockbuster films, but now he has transformed into a film with a very literary surname. It is said that this film is a purely American film. Could it be that Mr. Zhang filmed it in order to curry favor with the Americans? This is not Mr. Zhang's style! And people don't necessarily appreciate it. Akio Morita didn't get angry because of Zhang Yi's sarcasm, and still said with a smile, "If you smash it, it will make you lose your wisdom!" ”
"Smash? Hehe. Mr. Akio Morita doesn't seem to know me yet. I, Zhang Yi, made my debut at the age of sixteen to make movies, and now I am twenty-three years old. screenwriter, there are countless films filmed, but none of the films are afraid of smashing. Zhang Yi smiled and said, "After playing movies for so many years, my understanding of movies, Mr. Akio Morita definitely doesn't know how to drop." ”
"Then we'll see." Akio Morita naturally heard Zhang Yi's sarcasm that he didn't understand movies, so he didn't say much, so he took people inside.
"After watching the movie, I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep tonight." Bali Diller watched Akio Morita and the others go in, and said to Zhang Yi with a smile. He is an excellent producer, and after watching "Forrest Gump", he can naturally see the excellence of this film.
Make American movies, make American money, and win American awards!
After watching the film, Bali Diller remembered a sentence from the Southeast Asian media. It's just that he doesn't know the source of this sentence, which is his boss Zhang Yi.
"It's time to come, let's go inside. The film is about to begin. Bali Diller swept through the countless media outside, and then said to Zhang Yi with a smile.
"Hmm!" Zhang Yi nodded, and was about to turn around, when he suddenly heard a twitch, and then looked up, with surprise in his eyes.
"He's here!" Bali Diller looked over and got out of the car alone, the security work of that person was very special. And that person's identity is also extremely special. Because he is the son of George W. Bush, the current president of the United States.
A movie that attracted the praise of the President of the United States is somewhat incredible.
When the outside media saw this, they were stunned at first, and then went crazy. This is a breaking point, a very explosive news. U.S. President George W. Bush actually appeared at the premiere of "Forrest Gump."
How did he show up?
Rushing to the movies? Or did you come to Zhang Yi? Or is it some other purpose?
Whatever the reason, this will be the front page headline of the next day, and this is not a film, but it will definitely attract a new round of popularity.
Zhang Yi and Bali Diller glanced at each other, and then stepped forward.
Zhang Yi and Bali Diller stepped forward, and Bush's bodyguards turned their eyes from the vigilant surroundings to Zhang Yi and the two, especially when they saw Zhang Yi, the vigilance was extremely strong. Obviously, he sensed that Zhang Yi was the most threatened.
"York, relax. With Mr. Zhang here, it's very safe. Bush said to the bodyguard with a smile, then walked up to Zhang Yi and said, "Mr. Zhang, I hope you will forgive me for coming uninvited." ”
"Hello, Mr. Bush. Welcome. Zhang Yi smiled and shook hands and said.
Bush's arrival was somewhat unexpected by Zhang Yi. But it was undoubtedly a surprise. News needs gimmicks, and the president's participation in "Forrest Gump" is undoubtedly a very explosive gimmick.
Zhang Yi is naturally not as surprised as Bali Diller, he knows that this guy is coming, so he will naturally not simply come to cheer.
Zhang Yi and Bali Diller led the president in, and although it was low-key, it also caused a sensation. In this information-exploding society, the president of the United States, a public figure in the political circles, is naturally known to people in the theater.
The film has not yet started to play at this time, and the lights in the theater are still on, so it is natural to see.
However, the scuffling quickly subsided, after all, most of the people who came with the money this time had seen the world. Moreover, although the president of the United States is high, he is far from being as far away as the emperor in the hearts of the Chinese people.
The lights go out in the theater and the film begins. The eyes of the people in the theater are focused on the screen. Of course, there are exceptions. That's Bush's secret service. This is because Bush came here purely out of mid-hour, and in terms of safety, he did not sit down at all. After all, time is too rushed.
Bush himself simply could not pay attention to the nervousness of his secret service personnel. He is still very relieved of his safety. He knew Tang Xiaoyun and knew that kung fu had reached their level, if it was not safe by his side, then there would be no safe place.
When Zhang Yi avoided the plane crash and survived the shipwreck, and the outside world was in a uproar, he also specially asked Tang Xiaoyun to inquire.
And the answer he received shocked him.
Because, he didn't expect that this world could really be able to avoid people who don't see or hear danger.
Because of this, he became curious about Zhang Yi, and then watched the detailed investigation of Zhang Yi by the Intelligence Bureau, and finally had to sigh that this world is really crazy.
"Forrest Gump" can be said to be a romance, comedy, or a drama, but the theme he reveals is inspirational.
A person with an IQ of only 75 actually went to college because of "running", became a football superstar, and was received by the president. It is also related to many things in the United States.
The Vietnam War, Watergate, table tennis diplomacy with China, and even Elvis Presley and John. Lennon and the two music superstars have crossed paths. He has experienced various historical periods of the changing world and is undoubtedly a microcosm of American history.
This is undoubtedly a truly American movie.
The film is undoubtedly a success, as evidenced by the overwhelming applause in the theater after the film ended. Moreover, many of those who applaud are critical film critics.
While accepting the congratulations of the US president, Zhang Yi couldn't help but smile when he saw Akio Morita leave with a gloomy face.
The success of this film is more fulfilling than the success of any of Zhang Yi's previous films, even if it is the greatly modified "Boxer".
Of course, the sense of accomplishment of these two movies is just a little different.
The sense of accomplishment of "Boxer" is because many things in the film come from Zhang Yi himself, rather than copying the original version. There's something in it that's funded. Rather than completely plagiarizing the original.
And "Forrest Gump" Zhang Yi can be said to be a complete plagiarism of the original, except for some goofs of shots, Zhang Yi has changed, there is almost no difference in the others, it can be said that it is a gourd painting. But the success of this movie still brought Zhang Yi a great sense of achievement.
Perhaps, plagiarizing American movies to make American money, it is very likely to win American awards next. It's definitely something to be proud of.
After the premiere, Zhang Yi left in the president's car, and no one knew what he and the president of the United States talked about in the car. The only thing that can be guessed is what agreement the two have reached.
The next day, the media was extremely lively, and President Bush appeared at the premiere of "Forrest Gump," which naturally became the headline on the front page. Moreover, most of the pictures of Zhang Yi and Bush wanting to talk happily are used as front-page illustrations.
The film's word-of-mouth was one-sided, and the evaluation was extremely high, and most of the film critics invited that night were praise. Some media even directly threatened that this film will become another film by Extreme Film Company that swept the Oscars after "The Shawshank Redemption". Both films are American novels adapted by Zhang Yi.
The only difference may be that you directed this film by Zhang Yi himself.
It's hard to imagine that a Chinese person actually adapted and shot such a pure American film.
Under the incredible, I have to admire Zhang Yi's adaptation and directing ability. Obviously, after this movie, Zhang Yi is no longer just known as a big director in business.
He is a veritable great director.
When "Forrest Gump" had a bumper harvest in word-of-mouth and box office, Zhang Yi got on the plane back to Hong Kong. Because, the first stop of the concert held by Rolling Stone Records is in Hong Kong, which is about to start. (To be continued.) )
