Chapter 297: I know why Zhang Yi didn't shoot "Zhu Xian" (I)

Zhang Yi can indeed be called an international director now, but there are usually two more words in front of that big director: business!

A big business director!

No one denied Zhang Yi's identity.

Zhang Yi is not very old now, but his total box office income is definitely among the best in the world, and there is not even a director who can compare with him. Lucas can't, and neither can Spielberg.

"Boxer" and "Ghost Love" alone have grossed a billion dollars worldwide. Coupled with the "Resident Evil" series, "Mythology", etc., these movies that are not weak at the box office, Zhang Yi is definitely the director with the most cumulative box office.

Moreover, none of his films, whether they are small investments or large investments, lose money, and almost all of them make a lot of money. A big commercial director, Zhang Yi is well-deserved.

Zhang Yi in the north. The speech of the Beijing Film Academy still achieved good results, although some people did not agree with Zhang Yi's views, but they had to admit that they could not find any reason to refute.

As Zhang Yi said, you can't make a movie without money.

The next day, Zhang Yi took Luo Shukai and others to bid farewell to Master Sun and others, and took the train to the west. Quiet.

Zhang Yi invested hundreds of millions in the West. The most beneficial thing to build a cinema is undoubtedly the West. Ann Film Studios.

Zhang Yi to the West. Ann, West. The director of the Ann Film Studio personally greeted him, and even the governor and mayor of the province came to visit in person.

Let's not talk about Zhang Yi going north at this time. Jing, received the proximity of the chief, and these zhèngfǔ high-ranking officials were known through some channels. Even if there is no such relationship, Zhang Yi, as a big financier from Hong Kong, casually took out some funds to invest, which is a great political achievement.

As for Zhang Yi, the mainland people may not know much about it. understand, maybe it is also the two movies "Ip Man" and "Myth" before Zhang Yi, as well as the upcoming "Boxer". For Zhang Yi's other things. I still don't know much about it.

When the high-ranking officials of the zhèngfǔ department, especially Zhang Yi, were still in the west. An invested hundreds of millions of dollars to build a cinema, and they naturally knew it. In particular, Zhang Yi took out two billion US dollars to save the market some time ago, which shocked them the most.

A 21-year-old young man actually took out two billion dollars, and it was just to save the market.

Everyone knows the money to save the city, and it is likely to be a waste. Dare to take out so much, then what his own net worth is, no one can guess.

Count it up. The investment of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars is only a fraction of the money owner Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi is also happy with this. The current zhèngfǔ officials, unlike those of later generations, are still very decent, although they cannot change their ambition to make political achievements, but they are not unrestrained. At least, they invited Zhang Yi to invest, and they didn't have any other thoughts. I didn't want to get any benefits from Zhang Yi.

Now the mainland is reforming and opening up. It's the golden age of investing. The investment environment at this time may not be as good as that of later generations, but the competition is smaller. The investment policy is also definitely more favorable.

Zhang Yi is naturally optimistic about the mainland's economic development, and the investment intensity may not be as much as that of Hong Kong and the United States, but it is definitely not much.

The studio is not yet fully completed. But a lot of construction has been completed, and there are also a lot of crews, as well as tourists who come to visit.

"Has Mr. Zhang ever thought about it? When the cinema is completed, a blockbuster film will be filmed, and with the help of Mr. Zhang's international influence, the reputation of the cinema will be spread internationally, attracting more crews and tourists. The director of the West Film Studio said to Zhang Yi.

"What does Mr. Huang have to say?" Zhang Yi nodded, and then said.

"Most of the cinemas are antique buildings, and the filming is naturally based on historical stories. China has thousands of years of history, and there are too many stories worth filming. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties are all extremely valuable for filming, and they can even be filmed into a series of stories. The director of the West Film Studio then said.

"The story of Mulan, how did Mr. Huang move?" Zhang Yi nodded, and then said.

"Mulan!" The director of the West Film Studio was a little surprised, then thought about it and nodded. Although he didn't understand that the heroes in Chinese history were unknown, why Mr. Zhang would have a soft spot for female heroes. I heard that many of Mr. Zhang's movies are heroine movies. In particular, "Resident Evil" has achieved no small success internationally.

The reason why Zhang Yi loves female heroes is undoubtedly because female heroes can attract more attention in the world. Moreover, in his previous life, he watched a "Mulan" starring Zhao Zi and was very impressed.

Although Zhao Zi's Hua Mulan is full of heroism, in Zhang Yi's mind, the best candidate to play Hua Mulan is undoubtedly Lin Qingxia. It's a pity that Lin Qingxia Qing Chūn is no longer there, and has withdrawn from the entertainment industry.

But at this time, she is in the golden age of Qing Chūn, an actor, and I believe that with her as the leading actor, there is another taste.

Of course, Zhang Yi is still a little dissatisfied with the Zhao version of "Mulan", that is, the war scene.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi seems to have an interest in shooting this film. However, if you want to shoot, you have to finish filming "Jurassic Park" first.

If you say that filming "Mulan", Zhang Yi is out of interest. The filming of "Jurassic Park", the interest in movies is definitely not as great as the interest in money.

"Jurassic Park" is said to be a money-making bull fork movie.

"Titanic" is not a three-level film that does not sink the ship, who can compete with it?

Zhang Yi feels that if he doesn't put his own stamp on those popular movies, he will not only be sorry for himself, but also sorry for God.

In the West. After a few days of peace, Zhang Yi immediately got up and went back to Hong Kong.

Bali Dille moved quickly, and soon in the Maldives a small island was laid down, and at this time the construction was already underway, ready to begin.

Of course, the facilities that were built first were the facilities needed for the background of the film, and the tourist facilities such as hotels were put later.

Zhang Yi, who returned to Hong Kong, was not busy, and many of the preparations for "Jurassic Park" did not require him to appear in person, but more time was spent in the Polar Shadow Special Effects Company, paying attention to the special effects of the dinosaurs made by the technicians inside.

Of course, the skeletons of those dinosaurs are already being built.

"Boss, Mr. Cha asked you for tea and asked you when you were free?" Lin Xiao said to Zhang Yi.

"Jin Daxia?" Zhang Yi glanced at Lin Xiao, and then said, "I'll leave it tomorrow morning." ”

The next day, Zhang Yi and Jin Daxia met.

Jin Daxia looked at the young man in front of him with some emotion. remembered that a few years ago, when I saw "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", I wanted to guide Zhang Yi to put his mind on writing a book with a high manuscript fee, but I didn't want to fail anyway.

This kind of genius character will not be confined to the realm of fiction. What's more, Zhang Yi's greatest achievement now is not a novel. Although in the field of novels, Zhang Yi has not released new works for a long time, but it is still so dazzling. But compared to his other aspects, it seems a little bleak.

Zhang Yi's most dazzling thing now is undoubtedly his movies, his kung fu, and his business. Even his music is more dazzling than novels. After all, his record label has become the largest Chinese-language record label in Southeast Asia.

"I heard that Mr. Zhang bought a newspaper and a magazine in the United States?" Jin Daxia took a sip of tea and then said.

"This is an extension of the film company over there, I didn't ask about the specifics." Zhang Yi nodded, and then said.

Bali Diller did all the work. That guy was ambitious, and after getting a large amount of money from Zhang Yi, he couldn't bear it, first bought a newspaper, then bought a magazine, and now targeted a TV station. If it weren't for "Jurassic Park" that delayed him a lot of time, it is estimated that he would have started it by now.

"The development of Ming Pao has now reached a bottleneck, and perhaps in the hands of Mr. Zhang, it can glow with new things and get better development." Jin Daxia then said, with some tired sadness in his tone.

"Is Mr. Cha really planning to give up Ming Pao? He's your brainchild. Zhang Yi naturally heard Jin Daxia's potential meaning, and also heard his reluctance. In fact, it is no secret that Jin Daxia sold Ming Pao's shares. Moreover, Zhang Yi guessed that there would be such a day on the day he served as the vice president of Ming Pao, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

This is a few years ahead of the previous life.

"I'm old, and I don't have the momentum and jīng power I had back then." Jin Daxia said with some sadness.

When Zhang Yi heard this, he didn't know what to say......)
