Chapter 329: I hope you can push him

Evasion cannot stop the war; Fear will only make us lose more!

This sentence exhausts the cruelty of war. In the face of war, there is only courageous resistance. This is also a reflection of the good of the war in the land of China back then.

Zhang Yi can be said to be the originator of movie trailers, and he is familiar with how to use trailers to arouse the interest of others. This trailer has naturally attracted great attention. Although it is not as expected as before, it is too much to look forward to Zhang Yi's movie, and the TVB that broadcasts the trailer suffers from an unwarranted disaster.

This time, Shao Daheng did not complain to Zhang Yi again.

The investment in "Mulan" is actually not big. Those props, because they were made in the mainland, didn't cost much at all. Those soldiers did not give money, but only the food during the filming Zhang Yi. The price of goods in the mainland is not high, and although the food given by Zhang Yi is very good, it does not cost much.

As for the actors' salaries, except for Lin Qingxia and Zhang Guorong, which are higher, the others are almost negligible. And it is the highest Lin Qingxia salary, and it is also a rich price. It's about the same as the salary of those second- and third-tier actors in Hollywood.

Shooting, making zuò, and even adding publicity, it only cost 30 million, and it's not dollars, it's Hong Kong dollars! The cost of this production, filmed like this, if those Hollywood producers knew about it, it would definitely surprise the eyes of the whole place.

Zhang Yi planned to leak this news to Hollywood film companies to induce them to invest in films on the mainland and promote the development of the mainland's film industry. Of course, the main thing is to promote his studio.

However, this news will have to wait for the success of its release in North America and other places.

The trailer of "Mulan" has become a hot topic in Hong Kong and other places. Of course, there are also many fans of Zhang Yi who have some doubts. Why did Zhang Yi shoot "Mulan", instead of filming a historical story about the Three Kingdoms or the Ming Dynasty? After all. Zhang Yi once wrote books about the Three Kingdoms and the Ming Dynasty. Especially the book about the Ming Dynasty, but Zhang Yi's first book.

Among those book fans, the Three Kingdoms fans naturally have the most, after all, there are too many heroes in the Three Kingdoms.

After a week of playing, the trailer was replaced by a new trailer that was accompanied by a song. There was nearly five minutes before and after.

As soon as this new trailer came out, it immediately caused heated discussions in the media, and then it was known from media reports that this is the MV of the movie's theme song.

The theme song "Mulan Star" is sung by a newcomer. An unfamiliar face, called the princess, is said to be a stage name. Although she sings beautifully, people pay attention to her because of the songwriter.

Zhang Yi has not released a musical work for a long time, even if the soundtrack and theme song of the previous movies were all copied by Zhang Yi, but later there were fewer and fewer of them, and gradually disappeared.

So far, the episode "I Have No Money, I'm Shameless" has appeared in "Five Lucky Stars". It's still a must-order song for many people who go to karaoke halls. As for the songs that appeared in Zhang Yi's first film "Nightclub", they are even more talked about.

"Mulan Star", an atmospheric and poignant song. It makes people listen to it for a long time and can't forget it. Through the song guò, people feel the inner world of Mulan.

At this time, Zhang Yi's fans understood why Zhang Yi didn't sing it himself.

Zhang Yi's film has not yet been released. But because of a song, a newcomer who made a new debut became popular.

However, no one was surprised in any way. Zhang Yi's star-making ability. Not to mention the whole Hong Kong, the whole world who does not know.

The movie has not yet been released, but the theme song of the movie has spread all over the streets, which is undoubtedly a good start.

In 1989, on February 1, there was still a month before attendance, and "Mulan" was the first to be released in Southeast Asia and mainland China. As for Europe and the United States and other regions, Zhang Yi plans to postpone the release. Not all movies have to be released globally, although this film is completely possible to be released globally because of the extremely fast review in the mainland, but Zhang Yi gave up.

On the night of the premiere, the stars were shining. Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin walked across the red carpet hand in hand, and did not stop much, but waved to the media and fans on the way. No interviews were given.

In addition to Zhang Yi, the last thing to pay attention to is naturally Lin Qingxia, the absolute star of this movie.

"Mr. Zhang!"

"Oh, Boss Zou and Mr. He!" Zhang Yi looked at the two people walking towards him, smiled, and responded.

"Hehe, in front of Mr. Zhang, I can't afford the word 'boss'." Zou Daheng smiled and said, "After Mulan is released, I don't know what Mr. Zhang's plans are?" ”

Zhang Yi used to make movies, almost all of them were just released this film, and he was preparing for the next film, with an average of two films a year. However, now Zhang Yi's speed of making films is much slower, but he can also achieve the speed of three films in two years.

After the release of "Mulan", with Zhang Yi's previous rules, the top ten ** has a plan for a new step.

However, this time Zhang Yi really has no plans for movies.

"In terms of movies, I haven't thought of the stories I'm interested in. If possible, he may invest in a few films on the mainland. Zhang Yi thought for a while and said.

Zou Daheng looked at Zhang Yi, but he didn't see any fakes, but said: "How many movies with historical themes? This kind of film is a bit biased, and the market is afraid that it will not be very good. Of course, Mr. Zhang's "Mulan" is naturally no longer listed. After all, not every director has the box office appeal of Mr. Zhang. ”

"I'm afraid Mr. Zhang has figured out these films to promote your cinema in the mainland." He Guanchang interjected and said, "Although I haven't been to Mr. Zhang's studio, from the trailer of "Mulan", I can see that the scale is shocking. ”

"Promoting the cinema is really one of the purposes." Zhang Yi nodded, and said without denying it, "However, in China's thousands of years of history, there are still many stories that can be put on the screen." ”

"Western audiences, I'm afraid they won't buy it." Zou Tycoon said with a frown. Although, his grasp of the market is far inferior to Zhang Yi. Although Zhang Yi invested in historical films this time, he still has some doubts about the market for such films.

"Huh. If they don't buy it, they won't let me lose money. Zhang Yi smiled and said, "If "Mulan" can open the script in the European and American markets, it will undoubtedly make Western audiences curious about Chinese historical stories. And this curiosity will create a demand for this kind of film in the film market. As long as it wasn't shot too badly, the box office was impressive. ”

"Mr. Zhang never thought of making modern or futuristic films?" He Guanchang said.

Zhang Yi looked at Zou Daheng and the two, smiled, and said: "Americans can't shoot historical stories because they don't have a long history, so most of them are modern and science fiction films." If you want to be recognized by the North American market, it is more appropriate to shoot movies with sci-fi or heroic themes. ”

Chinese like to photograph the past, while Americans like to photograph the future. This may be one of the reasons why their special effects technology is developing so quickly.

Zou Daheng and He Guanchang said so much to themselves, in fact, Zhang Yi had already guessed a few points. Cheng Long is now a symbol of Golden Harvest Company, but several large-scale productions in a row have made great achievements in North America and other places, but Cheng Long has not been completely promoted to Hollywood.

"Rush Hour" has been filmed three times, but Cheng Long is still half-popular in Hollywood, and his situation is a little embarrassing, and it feels even worse than Donnie Yen, who only starred in one movie of Zhang Yi.

Jiahe made a lot of efforts, but unfortunately the effect was not ideal, so he found Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi's success in Hollywood is indisputable. Moreover, Hong Kong has an unrivaled grasp of the international market. If Zhang Yiken helped, Cheng Long's situation would definitely change.

"Mr. Zhang, in fact, I came to you this time to ask for your help. Aaron wants to break into Hollywood, and I hope you can push him. He Guanchang looked at Zhang Yi and no longer talked nonsense, but directly stated the purpose of this visit. (To be continued......)
