Chapter One Hundred and Four

He did it

Before the film started, Zhang Yi and Hong Jinbao found a seat and continued to chat, so much so that they ignored Zhou Huimin next to them. However, Zhou Huimin looked at Zhang Yi with a smile, but did not show any dissatisfaction.

"Brother Sanmao, how is your female apprentice training now?" Zhang Yi asked Hong Jinbao next to him.

"You said Yang Ziqiong? Ah Yi, you're not going to hit her attention, are you? Hong Jinbao looked at Zhang Yi with some surprise, and when Zhou Huimin heard this, he immediately shifted his gaze.

"She's in good shape and body. There is a more important character in my new film, and I need someone with a better figure. As you know, Mr. Pan also invested a lot of money in this film, and he called two days ago to mention it either explicitly or secretly. I'll sell him a favor. Zhang Yi smiled at Zhou Huimin, and then said to Hong Jinbao.

"I see! She worked very hard, and she didn't take advantage of the relationship with Mr. Pan. Hong Jinbao nodded, and then asked with some curiosity, "Ah Yi, can you give me an explanation?" Is your film co-produced with Shaw Brothers really as big as rumored by the outside world? ”

"I invested 30 million in the early stage, 15 million Shaw Brothers, Mr. Pan invested 5 million, and I invested the rest. As for whether or not to add it, we will find out after shooting. Zhang Yi said lightly, then glanced at Hong Jinbao, smiled, and said, "What?" Brother Sanmao also wants to cast points. If you really want to, how much to invest, I'll let you have the share. ”

"30 million is just the initial investment. Even if it is 30 million, excluding the theater share, the box office does not reach 60 or 70 million, and the cost cannot be recovered at all. And now Hong Kong's box office potential is impossible to exceed 60 million. Hong Jinbao said with some concern.

"In Hong Kong, I didn't even think about recovering my costs." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Uncle Sixth wants to make a film to enter the European and American markets, this film is just an attempt, even if the box office in Europe and the United States is not satisfactory, I think it can still recover the cost in Southeast Asia." As for how much I can earn, then I don't have a bottom. ”

"Can you really make money?" Hong Jinbao was a little moved.

"If I Zhang Yi makes a movie, I won't lose money." Zhang Yi said confidently.

"Good! I believe you, if I lose money, I didn't invest in "Mr. Zombie". I voted three million. Hong Jinbao gritted his teeth and said.

Zhang Yi nodded and didn't say anything more. Hong Jinbao's "Mr. Zombie" earned less than three million. Even the income of Hong Kong alone is not like that.

"Hey, you kid makes a movie, why don't you use Xiaomin for the heroine! She's your girlfriend, huh? You don't worry about her having an opinion. Hong Jinbao glanced at Zhou Huimin beside Zhang Yi, and then said, "Xiaomin's conditions are not bad. Playing the heroine of any movie is fine. ”

"Huh!" Zhang Yi smiled, shook Zhou Huimin's little hand, and said, "Xiaomin has just released a record, and even the music scene has just emerged. However, if she wanted to act that day. I wrote a script for her. I made her the leading actor. ”

"You kid." Hong Jinbao looked at Zhou Huimin and looked at Zhang Yi with emotion, then shook his head and said.

"The movie begins." Zhang Yi then said.

When it comes to Cheng Long's movie, we have to mention "Jǐng Cha Story". "The Story of Jǐng Cha" is a landmark film for Cheng Long, and it is also his transition from a kung fu boy comedy to a jǐng cha hero. Like him, many later works, such as the "Rush Hour" series, and even the somewhat magical "Flying Dragon Regeneration" are all starred as Jǐng Cha.

"The movie you made up helped Aaron and harmed Aaron." Hong Jinbao looked at the "Jǐng Cha Story", the car scurried down from the house, and then Cheng Long chased the fugitive with his life, and said to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi glanced at Hong Jinbao suspiciously, and realized something in his heart.

"In this movie, Aaron has found his own style. But if he doesn't want to play with his life in the movie after his rì, I'm afraid the audience won't buy it. You should have heard that Aaron made this movie and suffered a spine injury and was almost paralyzed. Hong Jinbao shook his head and said.

"The path is your own choice. If Brother Long wants to go out of Hong Kong and enter Hollywood, he has to take a different path. Zhang Yi said lightly.

"Among the Hong Kong actors, the most promising one to break into Hollywood now may be Ah Long." Hong Jinbao looked at Zhang Yi, and then said, "And Hong Kong directors, the most promising one to become famous in Hollywood may be you." ”

"Me?" Zhang Yi was stunned at first, and then fell silent. He does not deny that as a director, he is definitely the most likely, who made the buddies come through rebirth.

"Not to mention that your kid's shooting technique is very different from many directors in Hong Kong, although your "Crazy Racing" is not very good at the box office in North America, I heard that it has caused a lot of repercussions in the Hollywood director circle. And, the most important thing is that your kid has a good grasp of the market and seems to have a natural acumen. Otherwise, you kid has written so many scripts, although he didn't win a single award, but the box office income is unmatched. Hollywood, on the other hand, is more focused on business. When the film company invests in a movie, the first consideration is not whether to win an award, but whether to make money. Hong Jinbao continued.

"Hollywood, huh." When Zhang Yi heard this, he smiled, but there was an indescribable light in his eyes.

"The Story of Jǐng Cha" pioneered the jǐng Cha kung fu film, which is also full of humor, and the most impressive is undoubtedly the scene above the courtroom. And his high cháo is undoubtedly the last jump of Cheng Long.

The film is undoubtedly a success, and the best proof of this is the overwhelming applause that rang out after the movie ended.

Now, after Zhang Yi's "Nightclub", when the movie ends, almost all the filming tidbits will be played at the same time as the subtitles appear. And the tidbits of "Jǐng Cha Story", in addition to the picture of NG, there is also the process of Cheng Long's injury. This undoubtedly proves that Cheng Long is not playing a movie, but a life!

When the subtitles appeared in the movie, Zhang Yi pulled Zhou Huimin and left quietly. He didn't want to be surrounded by a bunch of media.

"Boss, Mr. Zhao is here." As soon as Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin got into the car, Lin Xiao said to Zhang Yi.

"Huh?" Zhang Yi was a little puzzled, thought about it, and then said to Shi Xia, who was driving, "Send Xiaomin back first." ”

"Ah Yi, why don't I go back by myself. With Sister Ling here, it will be fine. When Zhou Huimin heard this, she immediately said to Zhang Yi. The Sister Ling in his mouth is Lin Xiao's junior sister, the bodyguard Zhang Yi found for her.

"It's fine. It won't be long in coming. Zhang Yi smiled and said.

When Zhang Yi returned to the villa, Zhao Chenxi was watching Zhao Zixuan practice boxing, and when he saw Zhang Yi coming back, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Zhang." ”

"Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Huh? Brother Zhang, didn't I say it, you are Xiaoxuan's master, so you don't want Mr. Zhao to call Mr. Zhao, it seems to be raw. Zhao Chenxi said with a slightly angry smile.

"Then it's called Brother Zhao! Hehe. Last time, I haven't had time to thank Brother Zhao. Those three are talents. Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Hehe, they can only bury me there. When it comes to you, it is to make the best use of people. Zhao Chenxi smiled, and then his face became a little stern, and said, "The last time you were shot, as you guessed, it was indeed the person Ma Mingxiang was looking for." Obviously, the death of the two apprentices not only hated you, but also hated Xue Cheming. ”

"Ma Mingxiang is also a well-known boxer, and if he wants to avenge his apprentice, he will come over from the book. Grievances in the ring are resolved in the ring. Looking for the gunman, it seems to be a bit too much, and it seems inferior. Zhang Yi frowned and said. Although Zhao Chenxi confirmed his conjecture, it also made Zhang Yi puzzled.

"Huh. If it was ten years ago, Ma Mingxiang estimated that it would. But now, he is in his sixties, his body is declining, and his kung fu is not as good as it was back then. Against you, you obviously don't see the odds of winning. However, not to mention the last miss, and when I didn't choose a good start, I put some more news to make him have some scruples. I guess he won't be looking for a gunman again. Zhao Chenxi said.

"Thank you Brother Zhao for this." Zhang Yi thanked him.

"Don't be busy thanking me first, although Ma Mingxiang doesn't look for a gunman to kill you, he doesn't want to ruin the reputation he has accumulated for many years. But you killed his old apprentice, and this feud can't be resolved. Zhao Chenxi waved his hand and said, "As long as there is an opportunity, with his connections in the martial arts world, there will inevitably be a boxer to stand up for him." ”

"Opportunity?" Zhang Yi looked at Zhao Chenxi and seemed to have guessed the reason why he came today.

"I heard that the girl of the Huo family has always wanted to worship you as a teacher?" Zhao Chenxi suddenly asked.

Zhang Yi nodded.

"Someone introduced a Muay Thai master to the Huo family, and that person also has a Thai ** background and is an instructor of the Thai ** side. It has a great influence in Southeast Asia. And the Huo family has a lot of business in Southeast Asia. Zhao Chenxi then said.

"He wouldn't be trying to take advantage of the apprenticeship to force me to go into the ring with that Muay Thai master, right? It's Miss Huo who wants to worship me as a teacher, but I don't have to take her as an apprentice. Zhang Yi smiled and said.

In the martial arts world, there are things that happen to fight for apprentices, but in order to fight for apprentices in the ring, it is not for nothing that you have fought to the death, but it is very rare. What's more, Zhang Yi didn't have to accept Miss Huo as an apprentice. Therefore, if you want to use this to force yourself into the ring, it is obviously impossible.

"I heard that you and the Huo family are a joint venture to build a national arts building in Kowloon?" Zhao Chenxi didn't answer directly, but asked with a smile.

When Zhang Yi heard this, his eyes instantly became fierce. That Ma Mingxiang made a fuss about the Guoshu Building, and obviously did it.
