Chapter 377 Boot Release
Chapter 377 was released
There is no doubt that Zhang Yi's film is a blockbuster, even an unimaginable blockbuster.
Supporting roles and cameo appearances are two different things entirely. And Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao, two of Hong Kong's top big names, play supporting roles in this film. In addition to the relationship with Zhang Yi himself, I am afraid that it still has a lot to do with this theater.
With Zhang Yi's consistent style of employing people, the protagonists are likely to use newcomers, not to mention any supporting roles. And now, starring Zhou Runfa, a big name among the big names. And the supporting role is also a big name among the big names.
The tycoon is played by Hung Jinbo, and the outpost Arthur is played by Yuan Biao. Then among the important characters, there is only one pharmacist, Eames the pretender, and Fisher, the target.
Pharmacist Zhang Yi gave the role to Liu Dekai in Taiwan, and the pretender to Ren Dahua. As for Fisher, this one is relatively more demanding than the first two, and it was given to Tony Leung.
Of course, Zhang Yi's choice of these actors did not cause much of a sensation. Although Liu Dekai has also starred in many movies, he has also acted in many TV series in Taiwan. The reason why Zhang Yi chose him was nothing more than to gather actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait to make this film.
If there is no Taiwanese actor, it will be impossible to say.
As for Ren Dahua's star journey, although it is much better than in his previous life because of Zhang Yi's appearance, he is not a big name.
As for Tony Leung, he is not well-known in the film industry now, and the TV series is very promising. But I have to say that his acting skills are indeed very good.
The implementation of these actors did not cause anything. But the cameo of one person caused a great sensation. Shao Tycoon will actually make a cameo in this film. This news caused quite a stir in Southeast Asia. Especially in Hong Kong.
Who is Tycoon Shao? I guess the whole thing no one doesn't know. He actually made a cameo appearance in Zhang Yi's film, which is undoubtedly the first time in the world. I also have to admit that Zhang Yi's face is big enough.
And Shao Tycoon's cameo appearance is naturally Fisher's father.
When the film was prepared and ready to start, it was already the end of 91, which was Michael's concert. Not to mention those in Taiwan, even those in Hong Kong have already ended.
At this time, Rolling Stone Records was preparing to invite those rock singers from the mainland to come to Hong Kong for a concert. And this time it is no longer only the "Three Heroes of Magic Rock", but also Cui Jian, the pioneer of mainland rock.
The launch ceremony of Inception was held in Hong Kong. On that day, media from all over the world flocked to the site. They were very surprised, Zhang Yi has always been very low-key when filming films. I didn't expect this film to hold a high-profile opening ceremony.
Worshipping God at the start of Hong Kong movies seems to be an indispensable tradition.
Worshipping God, Zhang Yi naturally stood in front and stood in a row behind. There are starring Zhou Runfa and Zhou Huimin. Gong Li, in addition, there are naturally Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao, as well as the action directors of this play, Yuan Kui and Yuan De. As for the other actors, they can only be relegated.
A lot of media came, Zhang Yi naturally didn't finish worshipping God, and started filming directly. In that case, don't even think about taking a picture of tranquility.
At the press conference. Zhang Yi looked at the media below and said with a smile: "I can answer." I replied. If you can't answer, you have to understand. Interview me less and interview them more! ”
"I heard that Mr. Zhang's film invested nearly 200 million US dollars, but I don't know if it's true. Are you so confident that you will recoup your costs? A reporter asked.
"Hehe, invest 200 million US dollars, I don't know who you listened to. I'm Zhang Yi making a movie, when did you hear that there is a quota number? Shoot it down, how much it takes. However, every penny will be used on the cutting edge. You don't want to spend money on making movies. You can't make a good movie. Of course, making a movie is not something that can make a good movie even if you are willing to spend money. Zhang Yi smiled and said, "As long as it's a good movie, I won't worry about recovering costs." The movie I made Zhang Yi really didn't even recover the cost of that movie. Not before, not again. Naturally, this is not the case with this movie. ”
Zhang Yi is willing to spend money when making movies. The whole world knows this. Even the films that Zhang Yi invested in have always been generous, and they are very adequate in terms of budget.
Just like Cameron's filming of "911" directly cost 150 million yuan, and he made 200 million dollars after filming. But Zhang Yi also gave it very happily. As a result, Extreme Shadow Film Company also made a lot of money because of this movie.
And Zhang Yi's movie, not to mention. At most, there is a basic budget. And it's not very detailed. How much to spend, how much. Perhaps only a person like Zhang Yi, who has deep pockets and an extremely good grasp of the film market, dares to do so.
If you change any director, any investor, or any film boss, it is estimated that you will not be able to do what he does.
"Mr. Zhang, can you give us a brief introduction to what this film is about?" A reporter asked. And this reporter is now a reporter from Zhang Yi's Ming Daily.
"Absolutely. This film will tell the story of dreams and space. You should think of it when you hear the name of this film. "Inception" is naturally a matter of dreams and space. Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"Mr. Zhang, Columbia Pictures is now ready to invest in a big production and invite popular Hollywood superstars to star, ready to fight you, and you don't use all Chinese actors in this film. At the box office, are you sure to outperform Columbia Pictures' film? A North American reporter said loudly. He spoke English, but Zhang Yi understood it very clearly.
"If a film relies on celebrities to support the box office, it has already come to an end." Zhang Yi shook his head, and then said, "My Zhang Yi's film will only invite good actors, not popular stars." I hope that the films they make will pique my interest. ”
Only good actors are invited, not red stars. Of course, there are good actors among the red stars, and there are also popular actors among the good actors. The two are contained, but not equivalent.
Zhang Yi's words were very light, but he gave an extremely implicit answer. The meaning of his words is undoubtedly that the big production invested by Columbia Pictures has fallen into the lower echelons of the film by the big-name stars who actually took the test to support the film. Now, he's not even interested in the film.
In other words, Zhang Yi doesn't treat the film as an opponent at all.
It may be a bit crazy for others to say it. But from Zhang Yi's mouth, everyone took it for granted.
He has the qualifications to say so.
It is true that Zhang Yi's films rarely invite popular celebrities, and each film has been a great success. Every actor who starred in his film has gained a lot of fame after the film that played him was completed. Tom of Forrest Gump in the front part. Isn't that what Hanks is all about?
The starring role of this film is very famous in Hong Kong and even in Southeast Asia, but if it is changed to Hollywood, the European and American markets, it will not be much famous. And Zhang Yi is like this, he can ask for a popular superstar in Hollywood.
But he didn't! It seems that as he said, his films will only invite good actors, not red stars.
Dare to say this, in addition to Zhang Yi's own incomparable box office appeal, he is also in a confidence in his own films.
Relying on stars to prop up the box office, rather than relying on the film itself, is indeed as Zhang Yi said. Such a film has fallen to the lower echelons.
Although Zhang Yi's words were light, the media was extremely excited when they heard it, and one of the reporters hurriedly asked loudly, "What Mr. Zhang means is saying that the big production invested by Columbia Pictures can't arouse your interest now, and that movie can't be your opponent at all?" ”
"Columbia Pictures is not what it used to be!" Zhang Yi looked at the reporter, and then said with a smile, "Let's wait until it shoots a film that satisfies many fans." ”
Zhang Yi didn't answer directly, but there was no doubt that in those words, he acquiesced that he didn't regard Columbia Pictures as an opponent at all. And his words are undoubtedly another American self-esteem.
After Columbia Pictures was acquired by the Japanese, it was not even qualified to become a rival of the Chinese.
