Chapter 399 The Chinese on the Oscars (I)

Zhang Yi and He Gambling King have no friendship, and the wedding invitation is just out of politeness. After all, Hong Kong and Macau are not far away. The status of Ho Gambling King in Macau is very lofty, and it is inappropriate not to invite him.

Of course, it's one thing to invite, and it's another thing to come or not. It's just that Zhang Yi didn't expect He Gambling King to come in person.

He Gambling King is undoubtedly a legendary character, of course, there is still a gap between his legendary surname and today's Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi hadn't had time to look for him yet, but he found the opportunity to come to the door, and the purpose of his coming, Zhang Yi could guess a few points. Thinking about coming and looking for him by yourself is a goal.

"Thank you Mr. He for coming to my Zhang Yi's wedding, please forgive me for any neglect!" Zhang Yi saw He Gambling King and said with a smile.

He Gambling King is not young, but he is in good spirits. Seeing Zhang Yi coming in, he didn't hold it up, but got up and smiled and said to Zhang Yi: "Where!" Where! Mr. Zhang can invite me to someone, that's because he looks up to me. How could I not come for a trip. Originally, I was looking for Mr. Zhang, but I was afraid that it would affect Mr. Zhang's new marriage, so I planned to visit him again in the future. ”

"Hehe, Mr. He is polite. Although Xiaomin and I are newly married, after all, we have been together for more than ten years, and we are also old husbands and wives. Mr. He has something to do with me, how about we talk about it now? ”

"I'm looking for Mr. Zhang, but it's actually just one thing?" He Gambling King said.

"Oh? What? Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"That small aircraft carrier that Mr. Zhang bought in Russia! Although the military equipment inside was dismantled, the hull was huge. He looked at Zhang Yi and said, "I heard that Mr. Zhang bought him to make a movie?" ”

"Indeed!" Zhang Yi nodded, and then said.

"Did Mr. Zhang ever think about what the ship was going to do after the filming? It can't be used as an ornament, and it can't be converted into a passenger ship or a freighter, right? He Gambling King then said.

"Hehe, then what is Mr. He?" Zhang Yi smiled and said. Sure enough, it came for this.

"Rather than leave the movie empty, you and I can work together and convert it into a gambling ship. I believe that with the hull of the small aircraft carrier itself, as well as the gimmick, it will definitely be able to build the world's largest and most luxurious casino. He said with a smile. He couldn't see anything from Zhang Yi's face, but he was sure that Zhang Yi would not refuse.

"You can talk about this!" Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"How about leaving the specific matter to the people below?" He Gambling King smiled and said, "I don't know when your movie will start filming and when will it be completed?" ”

"The ship is still being refitted, I don't know the specific process, and I can't tell when the movie will start filming and when it will be finished. I can't say for sure. It is estimated that it will take two or three years. Zhang Yi thought for a while and said.

"Come and say Fang Chang, this matter is not in a hurry." He Gambling King smiled and said.

The intention of cooperation has been determined, and the purpose of He Gambler's trip has been achieved. As for the details, there is no need for him and Zhang Yi to ask. Because, this matter is a win-win situation, and the distribution of benefits is no longer important in the eyes of the two of them.

The most important thing is the connection of interests.

Zhang Yi's influence in Hong Kong is unparalleled, and Ho's influence in Macau is the same. If the interests of the two are linked, then the influence of the two increases for each other.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons, and another important reason is that the gambling boat thing is really profitable.

Zhang Yi's wedding is well-known in the world, and countless media have also done exclusive interviews with those celebrities who participated in Zhang Yi's wedding, specifically talking about Zhang Yi's wedding.

It wasn't until more than half a month later, because the list of Oscar nominees came out, that it gradually subsided. And for most of the month, Zhang Yi has been on the island, even if the guests who attended his wedding are gone, he, Zhou Huimin and his family are all on the island, living a leisurely life.

And this time for the Oscar nomination, Zhang Yi's "Inception" is naturally dazzling. The nominations include eight Oscar nominations, including Best Director, Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Visuals, Best Sound Effects, Best Sound Cut, and Best Cinematography.

Of course, this is only a nomination, and many awards are not very popular, especially Best Picture and Best Director, and the biggest competitor is a film produced by Zhang Yi's Extreme Film Company - "Schindler's List"!

"Schindler's List" was nominated for twelve awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay, which can be described as infinitely popular.

There is no doubt that this year's Oscars, no matter what the result is, Polar Film Company is undoubtedly the biggest winner with these two films.

"Schindler's List" can be said to have been facilitated by Zhang Yi. Moreover, Spielberg was of great help.

The film company that rejected the film at the beginning, after "Schindler's List" came out, the box office reached more than 300 million US dollars worldwide, and it already regretted it. Who would have thought that this movie, which is not a commercial film, would reach such a high box office.

Who would have thought? Naturally, it's Zhang Yi. As soon as the box office of this film came out, everyone was impressed by Zhang Yi's grasp of the market.

And now, "Schindler's List" has been nominated for twelve Academy Awards, and the direct director of the film company executives were furious, and they refused to allow Spielberg to leave to find the executives of Extreme Film Company, and directly let him be a bastard.

Although Hollywood focuses on business, it doesn't mean that any film company doesn't value awards. Box office, awards, for a film company, indispensable.

Zhang Yi's "Inception" won eight Oscar nominations, which is more shocking than the Oscar nominations for "Forrest Gump", especially for Chinese people.

Because from the front to the back of this movie, the main creators of the movie are all Chinese. This is a real Chinese movie. And the best proof of this is that among the Oscar nominations for Best Foreign Language Film, there is "Inception"!

This film is undoubtedly the most dazzling discourse movie. Whether it's at the box office, or in the awards.

Of course, "Jurassic Park" also won several Oscars, but the director is Chinese and the starring role is Chinese, but there are many more Western actors than Chinese actors in it. It's not a Chinese movie at all. What's more, the real protagonist in it is the dinosaur.

But Inception is different.

The 66th Oscars in '94 were held at the Los Angeles Music Center on March 21.

Zhang Yi only returned to Hong Kong in mid-March. This time for the Oscars, Zhang Yi knows how important the award "Schindler's List" wants to get when he encounters "Schindler's List", and it is estimated that his surname may not be big. But he still felt involved.

Not only did he want to participate, but he also had to take those creators of "Inception" to participate. He wants to take Chinese filmmakers to show their faces on the red carpet of the Oscars. (To be continued.) )
