Chapter 354 What movie do you use to cooperate with him?

Zhang Yi's faint words had a great impact in everyone's hearts.

Oh, yes! This film is a purely American film, and it also reflects the American god Jīng. Although it was directed by a Chinese screenwriter, after all, it was filmed by American, not Chinese.

"Make American movies, make American money, and win American awards!" Wang Jing suddenly thought of a sentence, and then said, "I heard that your film has won more than 200 million US dollars at the box office in the United States, and it has also accumulated nearly 300 million at the box office in other regions." As soon as the list of Oscar nominees came out, it is estimated that it is already about to be drawn, and I am afraid that the box office will rebound immediately. The global box office has exceeded $600 million, which is already a sure thing. Ah Yi, you are content. ”

With an investment of just over 70 million and a global box office of $600 million, this film is definitely a movie that makes a lot of money, excluding theatrical sharing and other expenses.

Moreover, it is also a film nominated for thirteen Oscar awards.

Make American movies, make American money, and win American awards.

Before the filming of this movie started, such a sentence came out, although many people don't know the source of this sentence, but people like Hong Jinbao and Wang Jing still know. These words came from Zhang Yi.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Zhang Yi in surprise. This guy is too godly. At first, I thought it was a casual joke by Zhang Yi, but now it seems that Zhang Yi has already made up his mind.

There is no reason for the cow fork!

Are American movies really that good to make? Is it really that easy to make money for Americans? The Americans' award, it's even harder to win!

As soon as the box office and nomination list of "Forrest Gump" came out, it immediately caused a great sensation. Those media who said that this film would be Zhang Yi's "Waterloo" suddenly tasted the original taste of Southeast Asian media. That slap in the face can be described as loud!

Thirteen nominations for a film can fully illustrate the excellence of the film. Moreover, the call for this film to win the award is very high.

As soon as the list of nominees came out, not only the Western media were in an uproar, but the Eastern media were even more shocked. Especially in Southeast Asia and other places, it can be said that there is a crazy cháo. The media even hyped it up.

And this year's Oscars have also attracted much attention.

It's a lot of buzz outside. And Zhang Yi, as the protagonist, did not appear in front of the media at all as usual. It is so low-key that some people are angry.

Countless media went to Zhang Yi's villa to squat, but they couldn't capture Zhang Yi's whereabouts, let alone interview Zhang Yi. Regarding this matter, Zhang Yi even refused Ming Pao, and even refused Shao Daheng's personal invitation.

Zhang Yi did not respond to the nomination of his film for thirteen Oscars, as if this had never happened.

The media was helpless, especially those who rushed to other places, and they were even more depressed. However, they have become accustomed to Zhang Yi's style. If it is replaced by other directors, I am afraid that if he frequently appears in front of the media, his tail will also be raised to the sky.

And, it really is something to be proud of.

Zhang Yi will definitely break many Oscar records no matter how many awards he wins. Who made him only twenty-three years old now?

At this age, once you win an award, it is a record-breaking. Of course, if it wins the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, it won't be broken. After all, he had already broken before.

After Zhang Yi wrote the script for the sequel to "The Mummy", he revised and revised it until he was satisfied, it was the end of February. And "Forrest Gump" has been completely drawn, and the cumulative global box office is much more than the original, reaching nearly $700 million.

This is a classic film with a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth. Zhang Yi has undoubtedly left a strong mark on the world's film history.

The sequel to "The Mummy" will work with Lucas, but Zhang Yi is not satisfied, and he still wants to bring Spielbergra over. After the script of the sequel to Xie An's "The Mummy", Zhang Yi has been thinking about a question, which movie to cooperate with Spielberg?

The first thing that comes to mind is Spielberg's "Artificial Intelligence", which he wrote and directed. This film can be described as a futuristic sci-fi epic, but unfortunately the story of this film comes from a friend of Spielberg, and the idea of making such a film was already in the early seventies.

At this time, Zhang Yi wrote this script, and it was inevitable that he would crash.

Spielberg has a lot of classic movies, and in addition to "Artificial Intelligence", I am afraid that the two movies about the second station "Saving Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List" are the two movies about the second station.

"Schindler's List" is based on a novel based on real history, and the film had already fallen into Spielberg's hands a few years earlier, but he always felt that he could not make the best film, and he kept dragging it out.

When someone asked him when he was shooting, he replied: Ten years later!

And "Saving Private Ryan" is a movie released in 98 and made Spielberg win the Academy Award again. This film is also one of the classic American war movies. In particular, the Normandy landings are extremely grandiose. This is also one of Zhang Yi's preferences.

Every time I think of this film, Zhang Yi sounds the grand war scenes, the bloody Normandy landings, and Spielberg still uses documentary techniques here to show the bloody battlefield, which is shocking. In particular, it shows the relationship between people and the appearance of people in the war.

Many people commented that this is the best war film in film history. And Zhang Yi thinks so. The Motion Picture Association of America directly designated it as a "film that exaggerates war violence". However, many second-station bosses gave it a very high evaluation, calling it "the film that most truly reflects World War II".

And this film also shines at the Oscars, and the box office is also extremely amazing.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi wrote it out without hesitation. Moreover, I also wrote some of my thoughts in the script.

Because the script of this film has the original movie as a reference, Zhang Yi doesn't need to think too much at all, and it is naturally written a lot faster. By mid-March, the script for the film had been perfected.

And after the script of this film was written, Zhang Yi also had to step on a plane to the United States.

The 62nd Academy Awards ceremony is still held in a few days, and Zhang Yi's film is nominated for thirteen awards, so he is naturally embarrassed to be absent.

He knew he was going to do a miracle this time. I think that "Forrest Gump" and the strong "The Shawshank Redemption" can win six awards. And now among the other nominated films in the 62nd session, Zhang Yi has no impression at all. Films such as Best Picture winner "Driving for Miss Daisy" and Best Actor winner "My Left Foot/No Regrets in This Life" have never been heard of by Zhang Yi.

Of course, it's not that these films aren't excellent, but compared with the film "Forrest Gump", they are much worse.

It is not for nothing that "Forrest Gump" has become a big hit this year. According to many people's speculation, Zhang Yi's "Forrest Gump" will sweep this year's Oscars, and it will be even more ruthless than the previous "The Shawshank Redemption".

Zhang Yi doesn't know how many awards he can win for this film, but it will definitely not be less, and it is impossible to return empty-handed.

However, in addition to attending the Oscars, the most important reason for this trip to the United States is the cooperation with Lucas and Spielberg.

The cooperation with Lucas is basically ironclad. Spielberg, as for others, needs further negotiations. However, Zhang Yi believes that the script of "Saving Private Ryan" will definitely move Spielberg.

If the two big directors of Polar Film Company and Hollywood can cooperate at the same time, it will undoubtedly play an immeasurable role in the development of the film company.

"He won't refuse!" After reading the script of "Saving Private Ryan", Bali Diller said to Zhang Yi.

"That's what I thought too." Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"I'm afraid the investment in this film is a bit big. Especially the scene of the battle between the Terracotta Warriors and the undead after the resurrection requires a lot of special effects. Special effects are very expensive. Bali Diller glanced at the sequel to "The Mummy" and said to Zhang Yi.

"This can be done with makeup and props, which can reduce a lot of costs. This time, I wanted the Polar Shadow effects and DreamWorks to work together. Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"Do you want to talk to two special effects companies?" Bali Diller looked at Zhang Yi and asked.

Both Shadow and DreamWorks' special effects technology is at the top of the world, but they are different in some ways. And Zhang Yi is paying attention to learning from each other's strengths. Of course, this is also mutual.
