Chapter 338 Who starred

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

It's definitely a pleasure. Therefore, Zhang Yi has a great interest in filming "Forrest Gump".

Bali Diller doubts Zhang Yi's mastery of this type of film, and others are no exception.

Polar Shadow Films is about to start filming and change to Winston. Glum's novel "Forrest Gump" is nothing in the book. But this movie is related to Zhang Yi, and it immediately attracted great attention.

At the 61st Academy Awards, Zhang Yi did not attend, but he won the Oscar again, and as a Chinese for the second time, it was an extremely sensational thing. Moreover, both times won awards for the script.

"Forrest Gump" was changed by Zhang Yi himself, so there is nothing, after all, he just won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. Adapting a novel, that's obviously what he's good at.

But in this film, he is not only the screenwriter, but also the director.

Director, Zhang Yi can be called an international director. No one doubts his mastery of a film. Especially the control of the big scene, it can be said that few people in the whole world can compare with it. Whether it is "Myth" or the later "Mulan", the kind of war scenes, directors who can control them can be said to be rare.

It's one thing to be able to control a commercial blockbuster, but it's another thing to be able to control a literary plot.

Zhang Yi has always given people the impression that it is commercial and superfluous. Although "Ghost Love" tells a love story, it also involves special effects, and it is not a pure love movie.

What's more, Zhang Yi's three films have checked the box office of two billion US dollars in total, and occupy three of the top five positions in the global box office. It is difficult for such a director not to be labeled as commercial.

After "Mulan", there has been no news of Zhang Yi's new film for a long time. Many fans are looking forward to it, but from time to time it is rumored that Zhang Yi has invested in several movies in Hong Kong. And his own, there was no movement.

As soon as the Oscars came out, Zhang Yi won the little golden man again, and when the media was excited, the news of Zhang Yi's new film came out in the United States. This makes people have to suspect that Zhang Yi is taking advantage of this east wind.

But "The Shawshank Redemption" swept the Oscars, but Zhang Yi did not attend. If he wants to take advantage of this east wind, why don't he go to the Oscar ceremony?

No matter what, Zhang Yi's new film has already landed. The media immediately reported on it. Nowadays, the world's media know that as long as there is news of Zhang Yi, there will be no worries about sales.

There are more and more news reports about Zhang Yi's new film "Forrest Gump", and fans know more about Zhang Yi's film.

But the more I learned, the more disappointed many people felt.

A film about Americans, or a story about congenital retardation. Especially fans in Southeast Asia and other places are obviously a little disappointed.

In Zhang Yi's later works, that movie was not a big production, and that movie did not bring people shocking enjoyment visually. "Jurassic Park" will naturally not be talked about. is the last "Mulan" that was completely ancient in the East, and the shock of its war scenes is also incomparable.

But this time he filmed a mentally retarded movie, although he also participated in the Vietnam War, but there were not many scenes. Who knows that if Zhang Yi wants to film the Vietnam War, he will definitely not choose the protagonist as a mentally retarded person. If you want to shoot a big scene of the Vietnam War, the protagonist must be like Rambo in "First Blood".

In the midst of disappointment, there is also anticipation.

And the most anticipated is undoubtedly American movie fans. However, the media in the United States are not optimistic about Zhang Yi's filming, and many media are singing about it there. However, Zhang Yi didn't pay attention to it at all.

After staying at home for a few days, he took Li Xiao and others to Los Angeles again.

The script Zhang Yi has been adapted, and the preparation of the crew is naturally solved by Bali Diller, who at least has the title of producer and producer on this film.

"Boss, this is Winston, the original author of the novel. Mr. Glum! Bali Diller came to Zhang Yi's residence with a person, and immediately said to the man, "This is Zhang Yi, the owner of Jiying Film Company." ”

"Hello!" Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Hello! You're younger than you seem. "Winston. Glum smiled and shook Zhang Yi's words, and the shock in his eyes never dissipated.

Zhang Yi's name, he naturally heard of it, this is a very legendary character. is young, but he has created one miracle after another. Many people say that he is talented to the point of a demonic Cheng dù.

The young man is ambitious, but there is no trace of arrogance. Approachable, it is difficult to generate a trace of disgust. Is this his state of mind? Could it be that practicing Chinese kung fu can really cultivate one's self.

"Hehe, the boss is only twenty-two years old now. Naturally younger. When Bali Diller heard this, he smiled and said.

Glum smiled and said, "It's hard to imagine that Mr. Zhang, who is famous all over the world, is only twenty-two years old. Although I have heard of it before. But as a Chinese saying goes: it's better to be famous than to meet. ”

"Winston. Mr. Glum also knows Chinese? Zhang Yi was a little surprised, the last sentence of Na Glom actually spoke in Chinese, but it was a little rusty.

"Huh. I just know a sentence or two, I know a little bit of fur, and I haven't been learning for long. It was only after I watched Mr. Zhang's last film "Mulan" that I became interested in Chinese culture. I used to think that Joan of Arc was the earliest example of a heroine. But after watching your "Mulan" and then querying, I found out that Mulan was many years earlier than Joan of Arc! Glum smiled.

"Boss, Winston. Mr. Glum came to hear about the film and read the script by the way! Bali Diller then opened his mouth to say the purpose of this time.

"Then let's read the script first." Zhang Yi nodded, and then said to Lin Xiao, "Go to the study and take down the script." ”

"Mr. Zhang, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just" Winston. Glum said with some embarrassment.

Zhang Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Winston. Mr. Glum, I also write novels. I understand your feelings. When my novels are adapted into films, I am also extremely interested. Whether it's the script adaptation, or the choice of actors. ”

"Hehe, I forgot that Mr. Zhang is also a fiction writer. I haven't read your Chinese novels. But I've seen "Jurassic Park", "Resident Evil", and "Harry Potter" not long ago. Especially after watching "Harry Potter", I was not meditating, but I couldn't feel the magic element, and I once thought that I was a Muggle who couldn't practice magic. When Glum heard this, he said with a smile.

Zhang Yi took the script handed by Lin Xiao and handed it to Glum. And Glum was not polite, and took it and hurriedly looked at it. And Zhang Yi and Bali Diller didn't disturb him, just sat quietly.

After a long time, Glum closed the script, took a deep breath, then squinted and recalled for a moment, smiled on his face, looked at Zhang Yi, and said: "It is worthy of being a person who has won the Oscar for screenplay twice, and Mr. Zhang Yi's adaptation of this script is very good, very good!" ”

"If Mr. Glum has no opinion on the script, then let's shoot according to this script." Zhang Yi looked at Glum with a smile, and then asked, "I wonder what Mr. Glum has for the actors?" ”

"In this regard, Mr. Zhang, you are much more professional than me. I don't know who Mr. Zhang plans to let play Forrest Gump? Glum said with a smile.

"Tom. Hanks! Zhang Yi said lightly.

"Huh! Tom. I have seen "Flying to the Future" starring Hanks, which can suddenly grow a 12-year-old child into a 36-year-old man, and act vividly, and there is absolutely no problem with acting skills. It's a pity that although he was nominated for Best Actor in Oss this year, he was given "The Shawshank Redemption" written by Zhang Yi! Glum smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Zhang didn't attend this Oscar ceremony, but I didn't expect to pay attention to him." ”

Zhang Yi smiled, Glum didn't say it, Zhang Yi really wouldn't think of Tom. Cruise starred in the film. However, in Zhang Yi's memory, even if it is not as advanced as "The Shawshank Redemption", he Tom. Cruise is also unlikely to win the Oscar for Best Actor for "Fly to the Future".
