Chapter 322 is a remake of Huang Feihong

Zhang Yi does not have a film company in Hong Kong, but recently he has focused on the United States in terms of films, and his cooperation with Hong Kong filmmakers is becoming less and less. Except for a cooperation with Hong Jinbao on "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", he has not cooperated with anyone or any film company.

Last time, Zou Daheng wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attend the premiere of Zhang Yi's "Jurassic Park" to talk to Zhang Yi about cooperation, but he didn't want to wait until the end of the movie, and he didn't have a chance to speak, and the matter was over. And this matter is not a secret in the Hong Kong film industry.

Today's Zhang Yi is no longer the same as before. His business is getting bigger and bigger. Movies are just one of his industries. Moreover, he has not yet focused on Hong Kong. In other words, he no longer looks down on the Hong Kong film market.

can't look down on Hong Kong's film market, for Zhang Yi, it is true. Today, he can turn the clouds and rain in the world film market system. He alone occupies three of the top five films in the global box office list, and he ranks first on the list, and the only film that exceeds one billion dollars is in his hands. And left the second place far away.

The Hong Kong film market is too small to meet Zhang Yi's demand for box office.

Zhang Yi's footsteps are obviously too fast, and Hong Kong filmmakers can no longer catch up with him. Can't keep up with him, how can you get him to work with you?

But I have to say that the rise of Zhang Yi has indeed brought great impetus to the development of Hong Kong films. In the past, films with an investment of tens of millions were simply rare, but now tens of millions are just an average investment, and many films are twenty or thirty million at every turn. It's 50 million, and there are a lot of them.

Of course, this is the Hong Kong dollar, not the US dollar. Zhang Yi may be the only one who directly uses dollars to calculate the cost of making zuò. Not to mention hundreds of millions of dollars, it is more than 50 million dollars. It is estimated that no film company dares to be as wholly-owned as Zhang Yi.

Xu Ke was not even sure whether Zhang Yi would participate in the premiere of "Zhu Xian", but he didn't want to be invited by Zhang Yi, which made him a little surprised.

Zhang Yi asked himself to drink tea, naturally it can't be as simple as just drinking tea. And the only thing he can have to do with himself is movies.

Movie! Zhang Yi must have asked himself to talk about movies.

That film has a relationship with Zhang Yi, that is the guarantee of the box office. I don't know that because Zhang Yi's popularity is unmatched now, and his achievements in all the movies related to him over the years, it can be said that it has become a brand effect.

"Sit down, they're all old acquaintances." Zhang Yi smiled and pointed to the opposite position. said to Xu Ke and the others.

"Thank you." Xu Ke said. In the words, there is still some restraint. He is a filmmaker, but he still understands the sophistication of human feelings. What's more, he is not stunned, he naturally knows what the result will be if he accidentally offends Zhang Yi.

Of course, Xu Ke also knows that Zhang Yi is not the kind of narrow-minded person. But after a person has a high status. When facing him, it was inevitable that there was an estimate in my heart. After all, Zhang Yi controls the entire Hong Kong cinema chain, and he wants to ban a filmmaker. It's still very easy.

"Your "Zhu Xian" was released on October 1st?" Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Hmm. Don't know Mr. Zhang? Xu Ke then nodded and said.

"I'll go." Zhang Yi said, "It will take some time for me to prepare for a new film, and it should take some time before the mainland." ”

"Then thank you, Mr. Zhang. If you participate. I guess the media won't scream nonsense. When Xu Ke heard this, he said with some excitement.

He doesn't have a relationship between Hong Jinbao and Zhang Yi. When "Ghost Blows the Lamp" was released, Zhang Yi did not participate in the premiere. was said by the media that Zhang Yi was dissatisfied with the film. If it weren't for Zhang Yi's stiffness later, how could there be such a high box office.

Xu Ke didn't think that Zhang Yi would be tough on "Zhu Xian", after all, he was not optimistic about this film from the beginning. The promotion of "Zhu Xian" is in full swing, but Zhang Yi has not made any remarks about it. Of course, the main reason is that although Zhang Yi is often the focus of the media nowadays, he rarely appears in front of the media.

I couldn't find anyone, I couldn't even interview him, so naturally I couldn't ask Zhang Yi what he thought of this film adapted from his novel.

"I came to Mr. Xu this time, mainly because I wanted to collaborate with Mr. Xu on a few movies." Zhang Yi took a sip of tea and then said.

"How many movies?" Xu Ke looked at Zhang Yi with some surprise. A few, it seems a little impossible.

"I'm going to make a remake of Wong Fei Hung!" Zhang Yi said lightly.

When Xu Ke heard this, he immediately understood that the remake of Huang Feihong is naturally a series of movies, and it is normal to make a few films. After all, there are many parts of the old version of Huang Feihong.

Zhang Yi has made many remakes before, and they have all been successful. For example, the remake of Li Hanxiang's "A Chinese Ghost Story" and the remake of Cheng Gang's "The True Color of Heroes". Now, he plans to remake "Once Upon a Time".

"Once Upon a Time" doesn't know what he plans to remake again.

"Remake of Wong Fei Hung?" Xu Ke frowned and looked at Zhang Yi.

"That's right! However, since it is a remake, it is necessary to shoot something new. Therefore, I plan to shoot Huang Feihong when he was young, and raise the chivalry of eliminating violence and peace to the height of worrying about the country and the people. Zhang Yi nodded, and then said.

"Can you elaborate on that?" When Xu Ke heard this, he was interested.

The story takes place in 1975, when the Qing government signed an unequal treaty with Lieqiang, allowing foreigners to demarcate borders in China and claim the throne, and Foshan is no exception. Huang Feihong, one of the Ten Tigers in Guangdong, is the head of the Black Flag Army and the head of the militia group," Zhang Yi immediately briefly narrated "Huang Feihong's Top Gun".

The film itself is from Xu Ke's hands, and the film changes Kwan Dexing's image as Wong Fei Hung's highly respected grandmaster, which is refreshing. The story retains many of the characters of the original version, but it is based on the love between Huang Feihong and Aunt Thirteen, and the film breaks into the political conflict between Chinese and Western culture and China's Yuezi, placing the contradiction between the old and the new, the traditional and the modern.

This film has undoubtedly risen to a new level.

"Mr. Zhang is a person who figured out Guò Huang Feihong, showing the epitome of that era. Let the film have a new aesthetic meaning? ”

After listening to Zhang Yi's story, Xu Ke's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he asked with some uncertainty.

When Zhang Yi heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "It seems that I have found the right person." ”

Xu Keben is the screenwriter and director of this film. Of course, he is not the only screenwriter.

The original film, not to mention how successful it was at the box office, but being able to win four awards at the 11th Hong Kong Film Awards for "Best Director, Best Cut, Best Music, and Best Martial Arts Direction" is enough to show the quality of this film.

If there is no Wong Fei Hung series of Hong Kong movies, it is definitely a pity in Zhang Yi's opinion. Although, without his own promotion, this film may still appear, but Zhang Yi can't wait.

"I took this series of movies. I don't know who Mr. Zhang is absolutely suitable to play Huang Feihong? Xu Ke smiled and then said. After listening to Zhang Yi's story, he obviously became interested in the film.

What's more, he didn't think he could refuse Zhang Yi.

"What do you think of Li Lianju?" Zhang Yi smiled and said. Zhang Yi did not have any surprises about Xu Ke's promise.

"Li Lianjie!" Xu Ke was a little surprised, then looked at Zhang Yi and said, "Will he take this scene?" ”

Li Lianjie doesn't have to be down in his previous life now. Because of Zhang Yi's appearance, he did not be silent for two years, and because he starred in Zhang Yi's "Myth", he had a relationship with Zhang Yi, and was recommended by Zhang Yi to Hollywood not long ago to play the role adapted from Zhang Yi's prototype in the hijacking case.

Although this movie has not yet been released, everyone can see that once it is released, Li Lian's price will definitely rise. It is not a problem to go international with the support of Zhang Yi. He should be facing Hollywood now, playing Huang Feihong, I'm afraid it's a little impossible.

"If you think he's a good fit, he'll take it." Zhang Yi smiled and said.

When Xu Ke heard this, he immediately reacted. Zhang Yi came forward, and Li Lianjie naturally would not refuse. It's just that he is a little puzzled, Zhang Yi doesn't plan to push him to the international market, is he not confident in the movie starring Li Lian in Hollywood?

"Among Hong Kong actors, he is indeed the most suitable." Xu Ke thought about it and then said. (To be continued......)
