Chapter 177 "Mythology" starts

The matter of the foreign exchange market gradually came to an end, and Zhang Yi immediately put jīng into the preparation of the new film.

The script of "Myth", Zhang Yi changed a lot, and also checked the relevant information involved, this script took Zhang Yi a lot of time and jīng effort, although the story is still the original story, but it has undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Mr. Liao, what do you think of this movie?" In Yindu Institutional Company, Zhang Yi asked President Liao.

"Mr. Cheung is worthy of being the number one screenwriter in Hong Kong. This script, very good, very good! Mr. Liao said with a smile.

"So what does Mr. Liao think of the viability of this movie? To shoot this film, I'm afraid you will have to use helicopters, or even the army! Zhang Yi looked at Liao Yiyuan opposite and said.

"Using the army?" Liao Yiyuan frowned, it may not be a big problem to use helicopters, but with the use of the army, this matter is a little uncertain.

"A few war scenes, I want to shoot something grandiose. Extras of thousands of people may be able to be found, but those extras are obviously impossible to show the momentum of the army, especially the jīng sharp and strong soldiers of the Qin State! War must be like war. As the Qin State, which unified the six countries, there is no doubt that the military horses are strong. If you use ordinary extras, it is very likely that the strong soldiers will be filmed into a rabble. Zhang Yi glanced at Liao Yiyuan and said, "I want to restore the ancient battlefield in the film, and I want to show the world the military might of Great Qin thousands of years ago!" ”

Zhang Yi is really not very dissatisfied with several war scenes in the original version. Although there are many people, it can give the impression that it is a rabble, holding weapons and wielding them there. That's not a war, it's a joke.

To be honest, those war scenes were not as shocking as the new version of "Three Kingdoms" later. The war scene of a movie is not as good as a TV series, which is undoubtedly sad, although the two are not the same year.

Liao Yiyuan looked at Zhang Yi, a little shocked, and showed the world that the meaning in his words was obviously not a small fight. Then he asked, "What is the budget estimate for this movie?" ”

The original version invested more than 100 million, but the price at this time cannot be the same, whether it is the actor's salary, or the prop system, etc.

"I don't know much about the prices on the mainland, and I can't estimate how much it will cost to restore the Qin Dynasty's armaments, clothing, etc. But this film will use a lot of special effects, especially the Qinhuang Underground Palace. How much can Yindu institutions invest? Zhang Yi thought about it and then asked.

He is now making movies, he is not short of money, and in order to shoot the desired effect, he will not care how much he spends. He will not worry too much about whether he can recover the cost because of the high cost in the end.

When Liao Yiyuan heard this, he looked at Zhang Yi, thinking in his heart, Zhang Yi has made several big productions in a row, and the investment is in the tens of millions, this movie now he wants to play big, and he directs it himself, and the investment will definitely not be less than other movies.

But Yindu is not as rich as Zhang Yi is now, nor is it a private company, so it can't be as unscrupulous as him and don't invest money as money......

"Ten million." Liao Yiyuan immediately said, "Yindu institutions are not as good as those film companies of Golden Harvest Shaw Brothers. ”

"Then the rest, I invest it myself, as much as I want." Zhang Yi immediately said that he did not expect much investment from Yindu Institution. He just wanted to borrow the connections of the Yindu Agency in the mainland.

"That's good. However, there is nothing wrong with the helicopter thing. As for the affairs of the army, I need to react to the above. Liao Yiyuan immediately said.

The mainland cannot be the same as the United States now, as long as it spends money, not to mention the army, there is no problem with fighter planes and warships. The use of the army, if it is a movie with the main theme, and there is state support, then it is still possible. But "Myth" is clearly not.

"When Mr. Liao and the above reflected, you can help me ask by the way, just say that I, Zhang Yi, want to build a cinema in the mainland, and the investment may be hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and there are any preferential policies." Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"Does Mr. Zhang really want to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to build a cinema on the mainland?" When Liao Yiyuan heard this, he immediately stood up in shock. Hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars is definitely a huge investment for the mainland today, and it will certainly attract the attention of the state.

Now that the mainland is opening up, there are many people investing in the mainland, but it is definitely a sensational thing to be able to invest hundreds of millions of dollars at a time like Zhang Yi. If this is the case, for the mainland, his effect is definitely not as simple as investing hundreds of millions. The impact is definitely not only economic, but also immeasurable.

"Of course! This time I went north to make a film, and I can implement this matter. Also, I'm interested in investing in other areas. Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"Good! Good! I'll definitely report this to the above! Liao Yiyuan said with some excitement when he heard it.

"Hehe, then let's move on to the movie." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "In this movie, except for the role of Professor Gu, which was decided to be played by Yuan Hua, the other heroes and heroines have not yet been decided, I don't know if Mr. Liao has any ideas?" ”

"Just decide on this. However, I personally hope that there is an actor from the mainland among the heroes and heroines. Liao Yiyuan said.

Really! Zhang Yi had actually thought of it at the beginning.

"How about letting Li Lianjie play the actor? After all, there are many actions involved in this play, and after all, he was born in a martial arts school and has won several championships, so he naturally has no problem with the actions involved in the film. In addition, he has a lot of popularity in mainland China and Hong Kong. Zhang Yi looked at Liao Yiyuan and said.

"Well, that young man is really good. I'll get in touch with him and ask him to come to Hong Kong as much as he wants. Liao Yiyuan nodded, and then said, "I don't know who the heroine Mr. Zhang is?" ”

"I have a candidate in my heart, but I don't know if she wants to?" Zhang Yi thought for a while and said.

"Oh, who? Are there still actors in Hong Kong who are unwilling to take on Mr. Zhang's play? It can't be Miss Zhou, right? When Liao Yiyuan heard this, he immediately smiled and said. He really can't think of anyone in Hong Kong who doesn't want to take on Zhang Yi's play.

Miss Zhou in Liao Yiyuan's mouth is naturally Zhou Huimin. When Zhang Yi heard this, he was stunned, he never considered Zhou Huimin playing the role of Princess Yushu of Fanbang. Because this scene is too tiring and too tossed, he doesn't want Zhou Huimin to suffer because of filming. Moreover, Zhang Yi didn't think that Zhou Huimin was the best candidate for Yushu.

"Xiao Min is not very suitable, and the schedule is also a little conflicting." Zhang Yi said, "I'm talking about Zhao Yazhi. ”

"Zhao Yazhi. Well, a typical oriental temperament beauty, she is indeed very suitable. When Liao Yiyuan heard this, he immediately nodded, and said, "Miss Zhao Yazhi and Mr. Zhang have cooperated, so they won't refuse, right?" ”

"Hehe, if it was filming in Hong Kong or the filming cycle was shorter, she probably wouldn't refuse." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Let's ask her first." ”

Zhang Yi really thinks that the role of Princess Yushu is very suitable for Zhao Yazhi. Whether it's appearance or acting, there is no problem. It's just that Zhao Yazhi is now divorced, with three oil bottles at home, and although "Ip Man" made her popular, she has almost quit the entertainment industry now, and there are few films that she has rejected.

Although many of "Myths" can be filmed in Hong Kong and studios, there will definitely be no shortage of scenes filmed in the mainland, and they are all exterior and big scenes, which cannot be completed in a month or two.

This is also why Zhang Yi is worried that Zhao Yazhi will refuse. And this refusal is a matter of course in Zhang Yi's view. After all, at this time, she is not only an actress, but also a mother.

As Zhang Yi guessed, after Zhao Yazhi was invited by Zhang Yi to play the heroine of the new film, she did not immediately agree, but hesitated and entangled. If it were anyone else, she might have rejected it outright. But Zhang Yi, she had to hesitate.

In the end, the identity of the mother triumphed over the identity of the actor.

"Ah Yi, did Sister Zhi refuse?" Zhou Huimin watched Zhang Yi hang up the phone, frowned, and then asked.

"Miss Zhao is an amazing mother." Zhang Yi nodded, and then said. Zhang Yi still respects Zhao Yazhi's refusal, not every mother who is an actor can give up this opportunity for the sake of her children.

"Then who will play Yushu?" Zhou Huimin then asked.

Zhang Yi looked at Zhou Huimin, and then said: "Xiaomin, if you don't play it, it's just that the cycle of this film may be a little long, and it will be very tiring." ”

"Can I?" Zhou Huimin asked. She actually likes the role of Yushu very much, but she didn't think about playing it herself.

"Okay! How not. I'll find Uncle Zhan and ask him to adjust your schedule. We also took advantage of the filming to travel to the mainland. Zhang Yi immediately smiled and said. (To be continued.) )
