Chapter 245: Fighting for the Oscars (Part I)
Chapter 245 Fighting for the Oscars (I)
Zhang Yi didn't expect that he would be forced to marry. To be honest, Zhang Yi is really not ready to be a husband at this time. In desperation, Zhang Yi had no choice but to pull his sister Zhang Jing out as a shield.
Zhang Jing's current boyfriend Li Binqi is a person, and Zhang Yi has also seen it, and then did an investigation without Zhang Jing. Today, Zhang Yi has a lot of business in Hong Kong under his control. And that Li Bin is very capable.
In fact, there is no need for Zhang Dexin to remind him, he has already done that. It is impossible for his property to be completely handed over to outsiders to take care of.
rested until the end of the Lantern Festival, it was the end of February 87, and Zhang Yi began to prepare for the start of filming of "Boxing". At this time, Donnie Yen has undergone some training in the Guoshu Building, and the three major internal martial arts have already taken on their shapes, especially Tai Chi, which itself is his family's national art and is even more god-shaped.
I have to admit that as Yuan Heping said, Donnie Yen is indeed talented in martial arts.
"Mr. Zhang is not satisfied with these flying cars?" Xiao Hei frowned when he saw Zhang Yi looking at his plan, so he said with some apprehension.
"Good. However, it's a bit petty. Xiao Hei, I rarely think about budget when making movies, especially for the visual effects shown by the scenes, and I never reduce the budget and compress the scenes. Zhang Yi smiled and said, "In this way, after we arrive in the United States in a few days, you can survey the shooting site again and expand the scale a little." ”
Xiao Hei looked at Zhang Yi, then smiled and nodded.
At the beginning of March, Zhang Yi took Donnie Yen, Zhang Manyu, Xiao Hei and Billy Zhou, who played the villain, to the United States, of course, there were some crew members. However, most of the crew was raised by the American Polar Film Company.
"You don't lack money, why do you stay in a hotel every time you come to the United States. Why not spend money on one. Not to mention the manor, it's still easy to buy a villa, right? ”
In the hotel where Zhang Yi lived, Barry Diller said to Zhang Yi.
When Zhang Yi heard this, he was stunned, then smiled and said, "What you said is right, you see where it is suitable, help me buy it." Maybe I will spend a lot of time in Los Angeles in the future. Have been staying in the hotel, it is indeed not very aspect. Zhang Yi nodded and said.
"Oscar's invitation is still in the company. I didn't bring it this time. I wonder if Miss Zhou will participate then? She is the heroine of "Ghost Love"! Barry Dille said.
"Although she was not nominated for Best Actress, it would be good to show her face on the Oscar red carpet." Zhang Yi nodded and said, "When the time comes, she will go to the United States." ”
"Since Miss Zhou is here, then I don't have to help you find a female companion." Barry Diler then said.
"Does the Oscar red carpet have to be matched by men and women?" When Zhang Yi heard this, he smiled and said.
"Oh, that's not necessary. I just think you're such a handsome teenage genius. How can you not be accompanied by beautiful women. When Barry Dile heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said.
The combination of men and women is a beautiful landscape. This also tends to attract the attention of the media more.
Zhang Yi's new film "Boxer" was launched in Los Angeles in a low-key manner, and did not attract much attention from the North American media, and even rarely mentioned it by the media. However, there are quite a few media reports in Southeast Asia.
Following "Ip Man". Zhang Yi makes a kung fu movie again, and for Zhang Yi's martial arts fans, he is still looking forward to it. Though. This movie is not starring Zhang Yi. But he is not only a director, but also an action director.
A "Ip Man" Zhang Yi won the two best action designs of the Golden Statue and the Golden Horse, and there are still many unique points in action directing. It's just that he knew that the action movies "Myth" and "Resident Evil" series were not his action director.
"This time, there is Master Lao Wang." In a bar, Zhang Yi said to Wang Zhe.
"Master Zhang is polite." Wang Zhe said with a smile.
"Hmm. It won't affect your business, will it? Zhang Yi suddenly thought of something and said, "You should be a formal place here, do you want to give a close-up of this bar sign in the film?" ”
"Then thank you, Master Zhang." When Wang Zhe heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he said. He had heard of this kind of advertising placement, and he was naturally happy to see it.
He gave this bar to Zhang Yi to shoot a movie, and it didn't affect the business, which was naturally impossible. Although Zhang Yi also paid a small fee, it was only a symbolic charge. Now Zhang Yi has reciprocated the favor and given the bar an advertising placement, which can be regarded as another harvest.
In the bar, there were several scenes, but it didn't take a few days to shoot. The most difficult and time-consuming part of the whole film is the street chase scene. And in this scene, Zhang Yi integrated the elements of parkour, and the difficulty coefficient undoubtedly increased a lot.
Therefore, Zhang Yi first filmed mostly indoor scenes. As for the scene of the car chase, it was put to the end.
After filming the scenes in the room, Zhou Huimin came to the United States on the first day of the 59th Academy Awards. And she was accompanied by Cameron in Hong Kong.
The post-production of "True Lies" has actually been completed, but Cameron's guy is nested in Hong Kong, often running to Polar Shadow special effects, obsessed with the study of special effects, and seems to have forgotten what Zhang Yi gave him.
This time he returned to the United States entirely because he was nominated for Oscars for Best Sound Editor, Best Visual Effects, Best Cut, Best Art Direction, Best Sound and other technical awards for "Alien 2" released last year. And with Zhang Yi's memory, "Alien 2" won two awards: Best Sound Editor and Best Visual.
On March 30, 1987, the 59th Oscars were held at the Los Angeles Music Center in California.
On the red carpet, celebrities from all walks of life competed for beauty, in a vain attempt to attract the attention of the media and become the focus of the red carpet. Especially those female stars, they seem to have appreciated the true meaning of the word "dew".
And Zhou Huimin is quietly opposite to those actresses.
Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin walked on the red carpet of the Oscars hand in hand, both dressed in Tang costumes and stepping on the bottom of a thousand layers. Especially Zhou Huimin tied a ponytail, revealing a heroic spirit in the overflow of youth.
Zhang Yi was dressed in a cyan Tang costume and Zhou Huimin was dressed in a purple Tang suit, and the two walked together and complemented each other. And the oriental charm revealed by the two of them is even more elegant compared with other red carpet stars.
Zhang Yi's kung fu is superb, and that kind of temperament can't be imitated by other celebrities. Although Zhou Huimin's kung fu is not as terrifying as Zhang Yi's, it can be regarded as a slight success, and his form and demeanor are generous and elegant.
The appearance of the two immediately attracted the attention of all the media, and on the entire red carpet, the two suddenly became the focus.
"Oh, are they wearing oriental dresses?" A foreign journalist was shocked by the temperament of Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin.
"It doesn't matter if it's an oriental dress or not, it's undeniably oriental, and I don't know where to sell it." said another foreign correspondent.
A Chinese reporter listened, and the corners of his mouth twitched, with a smile. But in my heart, I despise shì, even if you wear it, you can't wear such a temperament.
Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin undoubtedly raised their faces for the Chinese on the red carpet of the Oscars this time.
Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin walked into the music center. Gordonberg walked over and greeted Zhang Yi with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang! Miss Zhou. "Whoopi. Goldenberg said.
"Hello, Miss Goldenberg." Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"Thanks to Mr. Zhang, now I am better than ever." Goldenberg said with a smile.
At this time, she reached an unexpected height in her career because of a "Ghost Love", especially because after the film was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, she was invited to many movies at once.
This is what she didn't expect when she took over the filming of "Ghost Love". In this way, it can be regarded as an unexpected surprise, and I am still very grateful to Zhang Yi.
"Mr. Zhang, I've always wanted to ask you something?" After talking to Gordonburg for a while, Cameron came over and asked.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Yi looked over with some doubts.
"Why didn't you send 'Myth' to the Oscars? I dare not say anything else, but the best foreign language film and the best visual effects will definitely not be missing a nomination for it. Cameron then said.
The visuals of "Myth" are absolutely shocking. Even for Cameron, a director who is good at visual impact, every time he thinks about it, he can't hide the shock in his heart.
The war scenes of tens of thousands of people are not something that all directors can control.
"I said I forgot, do you believe it?" Zhang Yi smiled and said to Cameron.
When Cameron heard this, his face twitched a few times, and he looked at Zhang Yi with a speechless expression.
Actually, Zhang Yi didn't forget, but he didn't think about this stubble at all. (To be continued......)
