Chapter 149: Love Is You and Me
Chapter 149 Love is You and Me
The production cost of "Resident Evil" is only 30 million Hong Kong dollars, but it is definitely worth the money, and its special effects and actions are definitely much better than the original.
The production cost of the original "Resident Evil" was more than 30 million US dollars, and at that time it was already the 21st century, and the price was no longer a grade. What's more, even if Zhang Yi's version of "Resident Evil" is now filmed in the United States, it will definitely not be produced for 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
One price for one era, one price for one place.
When the original "Resident Evil" came out, it was already the twentieth century, and at that time, the audience's tastes had been nurtured by countless blockbusters. The shock brought by this time is naturally greater and wider than that of the original in the parallel world of the previous life!
"Resident Evil" is the biggest investment film in Hong Kong's history, and it has a gimmick in itself. And it is directed by Zhang Yi, a talented man who is in the limelight. Its release naturally attracted countless audiences.
The original version of "Resident Evil" was adapted from a game, and there are naturally many game fans among the fans, and now although the game of "Resident Evil" is still under development and has not been listed, Zhang Yi has adapted it into a novel before him.
And Zhang Yi also has an identity as a best-selling novel writer. Although the sales of "Resident Evil" and "Jurassic Park" cannot be as amazing as the sales of books such as "Xun Qin" and "Sou Shen Ji", they are definitely quite a lot.
Zhang Yi's fans today are no longer just book fans, movie fans, music fans, and martial arts fans! Especially among young people, Zhang Yi's appeal definitely overshadows all celebrities, even all people!
In the parallel world of the previous life, a second-rate thriller movie with dog blood could win more than 80 million box office with Yang Meimei's popularity. Zhang Yi's popularity in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia is guaranteed to be a box office hit. Of course, if the quality of the movie is too poor, it is undoubtedly consuming its own popularity, just like the movie after Yang Meimei can no longer be on the miracle of the second-rate thriller, when it is time to hit the street, it has to hit the street.
However, Zhang Yi's movies naturally have quality assurance. Just look at how many movies written or directed by Zhang Yi are on the film list in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asian countries today.
Zhang Yi's consistent style, or his habit, is that after the movie is released, he won't pay much attention to it. "Resident Evil" is the same, after participating in the premiere, after Zhang Yi returned to the villa, he closed the door and buried himself in writing his songs.
After all, the record company is Zhang Yi's industry, and it is developing very well, but Zhang Yi has not made much contribution. When he opened a record company, it was entirely for Zhou Huimin. And the record was just to help the company become famous.
Today's Zhang Yi has become much more low-key than before with his kung fu. There are many events that I don't want to participate in at all, like attending the Academy Awards, or even the premiere of a movie. There are a lot of things, time is limited, and you have to do it selectively. Perhaps, Zhang Yi instinctively avoided the matter of throwing his face.
However, Zhang Yi has an advantage, or a disadvantage, that is, he will not reject people. Just like many people ask Zhang Yi to cooperate in movies, he has never refused. Of course, there is a factor that eating alone does not last long, but the biggest reason is that Zhang Yi will not refuse people.
Huang Zhan came to the door again and again, and Zhang Yi felt a little embarrassed, so he naturally couldn't refuse. The record company, although it is not the most profitable industry in Zhang Yi's hands now, has increased several times compared to his original investment. And I haven't done anything yet, and I seem to be a little sorry that I now account for 60% of the shares.
What's more, the original promised to the Yellow Station. I really forgot it before, but now that Huang Station has come to the door again, it is naturally necessary to hurry up.
There are many songs in Zhang Yi's mind, which can be said to be either classics or masterpieces. But I don't like much. Moreover, there are really not many Cantonese songs, whoever let himself be born in the mainland in his previous life, he has to read the subtitles to understand when watching Cantonese movies.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yi wrote seven songs, seven songs on one record, and he could barely say it.
Three Chinese songs, one of which is a chorus, two Cantonese songs, and two English songs.
Zhang Yi picked up the seven songs he had written, or copied, and then went to the record company.
"Why did you come here today, didn't you kid say that you would come back after two days, when you were busy with your movie?" Huang Zhan looked at Zhang Yi who came in and said with some surprise.
"What? Listening to Uncle Zhan's meaning, it doesn't seem to be welcome! Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"Not welcome? You're the boss of this record company, and you're welcome to fart! Huang Zhan glanced at Zhang Yi, then spread his hands and said, "What about the song?" ”
"Give! What about Xiaomin, didn't you come to the company today? Zhang Yi handed the manuscript to Huang Zhan and said.
"In the singing room!" Huang Zhan said, then turned all his attention to the manuscript handed over from Zhang Yi.
"I'm going to find her, there's a chorus song in it!" Zhang Yi said immediately, and then without waiting for Huang Zhan to speak, he turned around and left.
Huang Zhan didn't even raise his head, didn't speak, and seemed to be able to ignore Zhang Yi.
Zhou Huimin works very hard, and her singing skills are much better now than when she participated in the rookie singing contest before.
"Uncle Hui!" As soon as Zhang Yi entered the practice song room, he saw Gu Jiahui giving guidance to Zhou Huimin. Zhou Huimin learned music with Gu Jiahui and Huang Zhan before signing a contract with the company and releasing a record, and relatively speaking, Gu Jiahui taught more thanks.
"Ah Yi is here! That guy from Huang Zhan, I've been thinking about you for the past two days. Gu Jiahui smiled when he saw Zhang Yi.
"Hehe, I've brought a few songs I wrote, and one of them is going to sing with Xiaomin!" Zhang Yi glanced at Zhou Huimin, and then said to Gu Jiahui.
"Oh, is it? Then I'm going to see what kind of classics you kid has written! Gu Jia smiled, and then walked out.
"I'll check it out too!" Zhou Huimin smiled at Zhang Yi, and then chased Gu Jiahua out.
Zhang Yi shook his head, smiled bitterly, and then followed.
"How's Ah Yi's song?" As soon as Gu Jiahui entered the company, he said to Huang Zhan.
However, Huang Zhan ignored it, but still buried his head in the manuscript.
When Gu Jiahua saw it, he was not angry, but looked at Huang Zhan's expression and smiled, then walked over, picked up Huang Zhan and put it on the table and looked at it.
"Loyal to the Country"! That's a good name! Ah Yi's handwriting is also getting better and better. Gu Jiahua said, but then became silent, looking at the manuscript with dead eyes.
"Loyal to the Country" is a song that Zhang Yi liked very much in his previous life, a classic sung by Tu Honggang, very masculine, and it is also a song that is widely sung.
"You kid is still a consistent waste, two English songs aside, the other ones, any one, can probably be used as the title song of a record." After a while, Huang Zhan came back to his senses and said to Zhang Yi, who was already standing in the office with Zhou Huimin at some point.
"Huh!" Zhang Yi smiled and didn't say much.
"Do you know which of your songs I like the most?" Huang Zhan then asked.
""Men should be self-reliant"?" Zhang Yi said.
Huang Zhan shook his head.
""Loyal to the Country"?
Huang Zhan still shook his head.
"Farewell My Concubine?"
Huang Zhan still shook his head.
"It can't be 'The Legend of the Hungry Wolf', right?" Zhang Yi said with some doubts. Those two English songs, Zhang Yi directly excluded. Seven songs, in addition to two English songs, two Cantonese songs Lin Zixiang's "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", Zhang Xueyou's "Legend of the Hungry Wolf". Two Chinese songs, namely Tu Honggang's "Jing Zhong Serving the Country", and "Overlord Farewell Ji". The other is a choral song.
"Xiaomin, how about you take a look at the song you sang with Ah Yi this time?" Huang Zhan immediately smiled and said.
Zhou Huimin took the manuscript over in confusion. But Zhang Yi's eyes widened, and he looked at Huang Zhan in disbelief, and then said, "Uncle Zhan, you don't like this song, do you?" ”
"Why, no! Your songs, especially "Loyal to the Country", "Farewell My Concubine", and "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", which adapted the ancient song "General Order", are all very masculine and indeed excellent. But this song is the most moving! Huang Zhan then said.
The reason why Zhang Yi first guessed "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" is because this song is from Huang Zhan's hand, whether it is the song adaptation or lyrics, it is Huang Zhan's handwriting, so Zhang Yi thinks his favorite is this one. I didn't think it was.
As soon as Huang Zhan said this, Gu Jiahui was also interested, and Zhou Huimin immediately looked at the manuscript.
"Love is You and Me"!"
Zhou Huimin read softly, and then looked at Zhang Yi.
