Chapter 337 Zhang Yi's new film

Zhang Yi does not direct the sequel to "Ip Man", which is also expected by Hong Jinbao and others, after all, Zhang Yi is less and less interested in movie sequels. Even, it is rumored that even the sequel to "Jurassic Park", Zhang Yi has no intention of directing.

The sequel to "Resident Evil", if it weren't for Shao Tycoon, it is estimated that Zhang Yi would not have filmed it. However, I have to admit that the sequel to "Resident Evil" is the most successful among the many movie sequels.

The third part of "Resident Evil" directed by Lan Naicai, although it has achieved good results at the box office and word of mouth, it has to be said that it is not as classic as the first two.

"I want to use the original team, Miss Zhao, I'm afraid I want you to come forward!" Hong Jinbao looked at Zhang Yi and then said.

Miss Zhao is naturally Zhao Yazhi who plays Ip Man's wife Zhang Yongcheng.

"I heard that she made a comeback last year and filmed a TV series called "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds". Brother Sanmao came forward, it should be no problem. Zhang Yi looked at Hong Jinbao and said.

"I've actually tried it. She was a little hesitant, and the TV series filmed last year had some other reasons. She is not yet officially making a comeback. Hong Jinbao then said, "The sequel to "Ip Man", if she is missing, it will inevitably have some regrets. Zhang Yongcheng, played by her, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”

"Then I'll give it a try. Miss Zhao must buy my face, but she refused my invitation to "Mythology" at the beginning. Zhang Yi nodded and then said.

As Hong Jinbao said, Zhang Yongcheng played by Zhao Yazhi is indeed a classic, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, if it is a sequel to change actors, it is inevitable that there will be some shortcomings. Although Zhang Yi doesn't shoot this movie, it depends on the situation whether he even invests or not, but he just looks at the face of Hong Jinbao and others. It's also worth his appearance.

Actually, Zhang Yi didn't know that Zhao Yazhi had some scruples because he rejected Zhang Yi's invitation at the beginning, and now he is coming back. That's why I went to Taiwan to develop and took over the "Jinghua Smoke".

Zhang Yi cooperated with Debao Film Company to shoot the sequel to "Ip Man", and starred in the original cast, the only regret is that Zhang Yi did not direct this film. But. Zhang Yi participated in the creation of this film.

The sequel to "Ip Man" tells the story of Wing Chun grandmaster Ip Man after he came to Hong Kong, which is undoubtedly good news for Hong Kong locals. However, it has to be known whether this film will appear when Bruce Lee was a child.

Zhang Yi is in Hong Kong, acting continuously, screenwriter, and investing in several movies. But there has been no news of his new film.

What to shoot? Zhang Yi didn't think about it for a while.

"The Flood". Zhang Yi wanted to shoot, but unfortunately the special effects technology has not yet achieved the desired effect, and shooting it is just a waste of things. As for the rest, either there is no interest. Those who are interested still have to run aground because the special effects technology has not been reached. For example: Inception!

The visual shock shown in "Inception" is naturally still impossible with today's special effects technology. Especially the dream collapse. Extremely high special effects requirements are required. After all, you can't actually build the buildings in your dreams to the shore and blow them up.

When used to shaking off the shopkeeper. Suddenly stopped making movies, and Zhang Yi became leisurely.

"Why don't you go to this year's Oscars? Are you nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay award again this time? Zhou Huimin said to Zhang Yi with a smile.

The shortlisted film is naturally "The Shawshank Redemption" that was handed over to Bali Diller before. This film was not only nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, but also won Best Cinematography, Best Sound, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, etc.

The original version was equally excellent because it encountered "Forrest Gump", but unfortunately "Forrest Gump" had an advantage in other aspects, and finally directed the defeat of "The Shawshank Redemption".

This time, because of Zhang Yi's appearance, it came out a few years ahead of schedule, so I don't know how many awards I can win.

What's more, this 61st Oscars doesn't seem to have that film that can compete with it.

"Forget it! You know I'm not interested in any awards. Zhang Yi waved his hand and said.

Although "The Shawshank Redemption" is not very good at the box office, it is now shortlisted for so many Oscars, which can be regarded as a chance for Polar Film Company to shine.

However, Zhang Yi, as the boss, had no interest in participating.

Thinking of "The Shawshank Redemption", Zhang Yi sounded "Forrest Gump" that defeated it at the beginning. This movie seems to have swept not only its opponents at the Oscars, but also at the box office. The North American box office alone is as high as more than 300 million US dollars, and the overseas box office is also more than 300 million. And the cost of its production is only more than 50 million yuan.

"Shoot it!" Thinking of this, Zhang Yi suddenly smiled.

"Shoot it? What to shoot? Zhou Huimin looked at Zhang Yi suspiciously and asked.

"I know what I'm going to make." Zhang Yi smiled, and then said, "I want to make an American movie, to earn their money, to get their awards." ”

"Huh. You can do it. When Zhou Huimin heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said.

If you want to make this movie, you must first get the copyright of this movie.

I don't know if this film is still in the novel author Winston. Glum's hand.

When it came to winning the copyright, Zhang Yi naturally didn't need to go to the United States in person, so he made a transatlantic phone call to Bali Diler, and then sat in Hong Kong and waited for news.

The news of the copyright of "Forrest Gump" did not wait, but waited for an expected, but unexpected, good news.

"The Shawshank Redemption", a tragic classic movie, shined at the 61st Oscars without the sniping of the bull fork movie "Forrest Gump", winning seven awards for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Sound, Best Cinematography, and Best Adapted Screenplay, becoming the biggest winner of this Oscar.

As soon as this incident came out, it immediately caused a sensation. Zhang Yi has once again become the focus of the media.

Zhang Yi won the second Oscar statuette, although it was still because of the screenwriter, but the puppeteer is the statuette. What's more, that film was produced by Zhang Yi's film company.

Zhang Yi did not participate in this Oscar, but he left his legend in this Oscar.

"Boss, congratulations!" Bali Diller's voice came out of the phone with excitement and joy.

However, on the other end of the phone, Zhang Yi looked very calm and said: "It's just joy and joy." What happened to the last time I told you? ”

"The copyright of Forrest Gump?" Bali Diller said.

"Yes!" Zhang Yi said.

"The copyright is still in Winston. Glum's hand. Originally, he was still a little hesitant, but as soon as Oscar was over, he immediately agreed. Boss, you adapted Stephen King's novel and won seven Oscars, and that guy probably couldn't find a better candidate. Bali Diller then said.

"Did you really take it?" Zhang Yi's tone fluctuated with a hint of emotion at this time.

Bali Diller on the other side of the phone naturally heard the change in Zhang Yi's words, and suddenly had some doubts, and vaguely guessed something.

"The Shawshank Redemption" won seven Oscars, and his boss was not the slightest surprise, even if he knew in advance that the film had won those awards, he would not be so calm.

At this time, there is a change in love, and the only explanation is that this "Forrest Gump" may be more violent. Not only will it be rich at the Oscars, but it will also be above the box office.

"Naturally! Boss, haven't you already written the script? When Bali Diller heard this, he immediately asked.

"It's written! You can start preparing, I will go to the United States every few days, and my new film will be filmed in this "Forrest Gump"! Zhang Yi said lightly. The tone was calm.

"What, you shot this film yourself?" When Bali Diller heard this, he was a little surprised.

He still knows Zhang Yi, his boss, who pursues visual shock when making movies, and most of them are not aimed at the box office. For any awards, in his opinion, they are all floating clouds, and there is no box office.

He actually wants to shoot "Forrest Gump" in person!

Bali Diller has read the novel of "Forrest Gump", and in his opinion, Zhang Yi is not suitable for filming this film. He, like everyone else, thinks that Zhang Yi is completely comfortable with commercial films. But there are some doubts about making films that are more artistic than commercial.
