Chapter 233 Guoshu version of "Boxing"

The Guoshu Grandmaster series filmed by Yuan Heping and Liu Jialiang, although it cannot be as good as Zhang Yi's "Ip Man", is extremely influential both at the box office and at the box office. However, the film can be regarded as a success.

At least, both word-of-mouth and box office have made Zhang Yi earn a lot.

However, it did not cause the slightest sensation. In Zhang Yi's view, that is failure.

Now, the Guoshu Building in Taipei is about to open. Huo Zhenyu looked for Zhang Yi some time ago, and the meaning revealed in his words was that he wanted to open the Guoshu Building to the United States.

Movies are undoubtedly an excellent way to promote them. This is also why Zhang Yi will add the scene of the National Art Building in the sequel to "Resident Evil", and even made a cameo appearance himself, showing his skills.

"Mr. Zhang plans to make a national art movie by himself?" Yuan Heping asked curiously. But in the tone, there was some embarrassment. After all, Zhang Yi invested in him and Liu Jialiang at the beginning, if the expected effect was achieved, Zhang Yi would definitely not direct and shoot one by himself.

"The Huo family and I plan to wait for the National Art Building in Taipei to enter orbit, and then open a National Art Building in the United States, so make a movie about the National Arts to warm up." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Although my film involves various schools of national martial arts, it is not a traditional kung fu movie. I don't know if Mr. Yuan will have time by then, but I would like to invite you to be the action director of this movie. ”

"This?" Yuan Heping smiled awkwardly and said, "Some time ago, Uncle Sixth asked me to shoot a sequel to "Thunderbolt Baby", I'm afraid there are some conflicts on the schedule. ”

"Hehe, I forgot about it. Uncle Sixth seems to have mentioned it to me before. Zhang Yi smiled and said, "That's a pity." Only next time we will work together. ”

"Breaking Bad" was invested by Zhang Yi's screenwriter, but the production company was Shaw Brothers. Although the film has a lot of controversy, the box office is extremely impressive, whether it is Southeast Asia. Or North America. Therefore, Shao Daheng paid attention to it and asked for the copyright from Zhang Yi.

Of course, this copyright Zhang Yi will naturally not give away in vain. Moreover, he also intends to invest in points.

"Why doesn't Mr. Zhang take on the action design himself?" Yuan Heping glanced at Zhang Yi, and then said, "Listening to the meaning of Mr. Zhang's words just now, it seems that I want to shoot the pith of the national art play. To be honest, among the many martial arts in Hong Kong, I am afraid that only Liu Jialiang is good at national arts. But. He is a descendant of the Hongquan True Sect and knows a lot about the southern fist method. But he is not good at Tai Chi, Bagua, Xingyi, and Baji and other northern schools. Mr. Zhang is a disciple of Sun Sect, and Jīng is proficient in all kinds of boxing techniques, especially Tai Chi and other internal boxing. I'm afraid no one is more suitable than you. ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he fell silent.

Zhang Yi has filmed a lot of action movies, but only "Ip Man" was designed and directed by himself. And accidentally won a prize. However, the water of this award is relatively large. One is because there is a reference to the original version, and the other is because Huang Chunliang, the head of the Yongchūn Association, acts as an advisor on the side.

However, as Yuan Heping said. If Zhang Yi wants to show the jīng marrow guò shot of the national art play, he is indeed the best candidate. After all, he is a kung fu master who is good at fighting and has extremely rich actual combat.

"Huh. There's no rush beforehand. Zhang Yi smiled and said, "This movie is just a flash of inspiration just now." There is only one summary of the story. The script is even more unsettled. I'm still a few months away. ”

Zhang Yi said this, but Yuan Heping and Donnie Yen were shocked when they heard it. In a flash of inspiration, there is a story. Before the story is perfected, the actors are directly determined, and then they are ready to start filming.

Does this seem too fast? And it seems a little casual.

If it were someone else, Yuan and Ping would definitely think that the other party was crazy. However, if the object is Zhang Yi, there is only admiration.

Whether Zhang Yi is making up stories or writing scripts, in addition to the speed is commendable, his quality is more talked-about.

Even if it is so casual, no one will think that Zhang Yi's movie will be bad. It will not become his "Waterloo"!

Zhang Yi's "Waterloo" has been hyped by the media countless times, but he has been slapped in the face again and again. Nowadays, no matter what Zhang Yi shoots, even the screenwriter's movie, no media will threaten that it will be Zhang Yi's "Waterloo" before it is released!

In this movie, Zhang Yi did have a flash of inspiration after seeing Donnie Yen.

Using movies to promote the country's martial arts, to be honest, the most successful in the previous life was not China, let alone Rì Ben and South Korea. It's Thailand.

Thailand's "Boxing Fighter" made Muay Thai popular all over the world.

If Bruce Lee passed a few movies, coupled with his own influence, let the world know Chinese kung fu. Thailand, then, used a "Boxing Fighter" to let the world know Muay Thai.

Therefore, Zhang Yi plans to make a national version of "Boxing"! And, in order to increase its influence, the background was directly placed on the United States.

Naturally, the script will be changed a lot. In the original version, the plot is very simple, that is, the Buddha's head in a small mountain village is stolen, and the protagonist goes to the city to recover the Buddha's head.

And this plot is placed in the national version of "Boxing", which is naturally inappropriate. There are also people in China who believe in Buddhism, but their belief in Buddhism has not yet reached such madness. Moreover, Zhang Yi is not filming Shaolin boxing and promoting Buddhist kung fu. Instead, it is based on Tai Chi, Xingyi, and Bagua.

Therefore, Zhang Yi changed it into an extremely precious cultural relic. Moreover, in the end, the protagonist recovered the cultural relics, and instead of bringing them back to the small mountain village, they donated them to the National Museum.

And in the original, Tony. Jia rushed through the streets and broke through layers of obstacles, and indeed jīng Cai. But Zhang Yi intends to integrate into this plot, which is extremely popular in later generations. Guoshu plus cool running, there is definitely the feeling of flying on the wall.

The original version claims to have no special effects, no stand-ins, no Wia, and is a real kung fu that is completely fist-to-flesh. And Zhang Yi's Guoshu version of "Boxing", he doesn't plan to use special effects, he doesn't plan to use Weiya, as for whether to use a stand-in, it depends on whether Donnie Yen can meet Zhang Yi's action requirements.

Anyway, it is necessary to show the true side of national art. It shows its national art to the world on the screen. Let them know the true side of Chinese Kung Fu.

After the finale reception, Zhang Yi devoted himself to the post-production of the sequel to "Resident Evil" and conceived the script of "Boxer".

In January, it took a whole month for Zhang Yi to complete the script. Because the changes are too big, this is undoubtedly the longest time Zhang Yihua has spent time. Moreover, it is still standing on the shoulders of the original, which is not original.

However, in terms of scenes, I don't know how much bigger it is than the original. Especially the chase scene of the tricycle in it was directly changed to a car chase by Zhang Yi.

The protagonist is determined to be played by Donnie Yen, and the heroine in it is actually not a heroine.

In the audience's subconscious, the heroine has an ambiguous relationship with the male protagonist. But whether it is the original version or Zhang Yi's Guoshu version of "Boxing", the heroine in it has an ambiguous relationship with the second male lead.

Whether it is the second male or the first female, although there is not much difference between the identity background and the xìng grid, because the background has been changed to the United States, it is natural to understand English. And the actress of the Hong Kong camera, Zhang Yi's first thought was Weng Meiling. However, Shao Tycoon wants to make a sequel to "Breaking Baby", and the schedule is obviously conflicting.

However, in terms of actors, Zhang Yi is not unavailable. What's more, the female number one doesn't necessarily have to know English.

"Blackie! Are there any arrangements for early next year? Zhang Yi smiled and said to Ke Shouliang, who was a little restrained.

Ke Shouliang shook his head and looked at Zhang Yi, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"How about going to the United States with me?" Zhang Yi continued.

"To the United States?" Ke Shouliang looked at Zhang Yi suspiciously.

"I'm going to shoot a movie in the U.S. early next year, and I'm going to use a lot of stunts." Zhang Yi said.

There are a lot of speeding car shots in the sequel to "Resident Evil", and in "Boxer", there are not only motorcycle speeding shots, but also cars. As far as flying car stunts are concerned, Ke Shouliang is definitely an expert.

The flying car stunts in "Food Truck" left a deep impact on Zhang Yi, so when filming the sequel to "Resident Evil", Zhang Yitong guò Hong Jinbao got Ke Shouliang into the crew.

And through guò contact, Zhang Yi still admires Ke Shouliang's daring to think, dare to do and dare to fight.

"No problem!" Ke Shouliang smiled and agreed. I am very happy to be able to cooperate with Zhang Yi. This is not only because Zhang Yi has a special identity, but because Zhang Yi is much more generous than others. (To be continued......)
