Chapter 349 "Forrest Gump" was released

borrowed the topic of Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures, and the promotion of Zhang Yi's new film "Forrest Gump" was done to the extreme.

Zhang Yi's new film is already highly anticipated, and after such a toss, it is even more expected by fans, especially American fans. Looking forward to the early release of the film.

"Where's that guy Cameron?" Zhang Yi suddenly asked.

"I've heard about Egyptian archaeology." Bali Diller smiled and said.

The corners of Zhang Yi's mouth twitched, then he shook his head and said, "This guy." ”

"You don't want to make Titanic, do you?" Bali Diller looked at Zhang Yi with some surprise and asked.

"It's not suitable to shoot now, and the special effects technology can be improved a little more, which can save a lot of costs." Zhang Yi then said, "I'm just curious to ask. ”

"You don't think anything else, do you?" Bali Diller looked at Zhang Yi and suddenly asked. He knew that his boss made up stories almost easily, and when he asked Cameron for no reason, most of them had a story in mind and wanted to make it into a movie.

"What can I think?" Zhang Yi smiled and asked rhetorically.

"Boss's next movie, what type of movie are you going to shoot?" Bali Diller asked.

"I didn't think about it, maybe I won't make a film in a year or two. After the release of Forrest Gump, I went back to Hong Kong, where there were still many things to be dealt with. Zhang Yi shook his head and then said.

Bali Diller looked at Zhang Yi, and then said: "The boss won't really be as the outside world says, you will shift your energy from movies to music, won't it be true?" ”

"Musically?" Zhang Yi looked at Bali Diller with some doubts, and then said with a wry smile, "It seems that the rumors outside are really boiling." But it's not groundless. My record label has reached a plateau in Southeast Asia. I really want to push him and push him internationally. It didn't take much effort, though. As for the shift from film to music, it's impossible to talk about it. If there's a movie I'm interested in, I'll make it. ”

Bali Diller nodded, he knew that the reason why Zhang Yi was in a hurry to return to Hong Kong after the release of "Forrest Gump" was to attend a concert held by Rolling Death Records.

December 24, 19**, Christmas Eve. It is also the premiere of Zhang Yi's new film "Forrest Gump".

The film made a lot of noise, and the popularity and expectations were extremely high. Naturally, it will not be released quietly.

At the time of the premiere, Extreme Shadow Film Company invited many Hollywood filmmakers and the top management of the film company. Of course, the top management of Columbia Pictures was naturally invited. However, an invitation is an invitation, and whether it will come or not is another matter.

"Mr. Zhang, we meet again." A voice said to Zhang Yi with a smile.

Zhang Yi looked back, and then smiled: "It turned out to be Mr. Spielberg, this is Mr. Lucas?" ”

"Hehe, look at me, I almost forgot to introduce you." Spielberg smiled and said, "He's Lucas." ”

"Hello."

"Hello!"

Zhang Yi shook hands with Lucas and said.

"I am looking forward to Mr. Zhang's transformational work." Lucas said.

"Transformation?" When Zhang Yi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he understood, looked at Lucas and smiled, "I don't think I will disappoint Mr. Lucas." ”

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang's directing ability is naturally beyond doubt." Lucas said with a smile, "I have seen many of your works, especially I like your "Myth", I have a strong curiosity about the mysterious China, and I even want to go to China to see it and shoot an adventure film about China!" ”

"Oh, really?" When Zhang Yi heard this, he immediately became interested, looked at Lucas, and then invited, "If Mr. Lucas really has plans in this regard, we will cooperate extraordinarily." ”

"How to cooperate?" Lucas also seems to have come to the surname.

"I provide the script and the funding, how about Mr. Lucas's directing?" Zhang Yi's eyes narrowed and said with a smile.

"I'm looking forward to your script!" Lucas smiled and said.

He is looking forward to Zhang Yi's script, which is naturally not a lie. Zhang Yi's current script can be said to be the most expensive among Hollywood screenwriters. However, it is not marketable.

Except for Extreme Shadow Film Company, no other film company in Hollywood has ever gotten Zhang Yi's script.

Zhang Yi's scripts are really expected, especially the fact that each of his scripts is a big profit, which is definitely a kind of unrefusable for a film company.

Zhang Yi naturally heard the meaning of Lucas's words. He did not refuse, nor did he agree, but wanted to read Zhang Yi's script.

Not long after Spielberg and Lucas walked into the theater, Bali Diller seemed to hear the news and immediately walked over and asked, "I heard that you are planning to work with Lucas on a film?" ”

"He seems to want to make an adventure film about China, and I'm definitely the best screenwriter." Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"The rights to Raiders of the Lost Ark are not in his hands." Bali Diller thought for a moment and then said.

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" is an adventure film by Spielberg and Lucas. Lucas wanted to make an adventure film about China, and Bali Diller naturally thought of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", thinking that he invited Zhang Yi to write a sequel to "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

"Why do you want to make a sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark, why not a sequel to The Mummy? The copyright of "The Mummy" is in our hands. Zhang Yi said.

"Are there mummies in China?" Bali Diller asked, confused.

"There are no mummies in China, but there are terracotta warriors!" Zhang Yi smiled and said.

In the previous life, the third part of "The Mummy" was a story about China, but the screenwriter of that story was obviously a person who had no understanding of Chinese culture, and the script he wrote was extremely clumsy. And some scenes are still eating leftovers from the second part. The word-of-mouth is extremely poor, and the box office has not done much.

Zhang Yi wrote it himself, so naturally he would not make such a low-level mistake. Moreover, he already has some ideas in his heart, especially on the big scene. When the terracotta warriors are resurrected and fight the undead, what kind of scene will it be.

And this story does not revolve around Qin Shi Huang, but another extremely famous figure of the Qin Dynasty: Killing God Bai Qi! And the thing is, naturally, the Battle of Changping.

Bai Qi led the troops to attack Zhao, killed 400,000 soldiers, was angry, and turned into an undead soul after his death, so that the lives around Changping were ruined, and the land was thousands of miles away.

In order to settle this matter, Emperor Qin used Bai Qi's men to fight a hundred battles with ancient secret methods to build a mercenary, and used his murderous aura to ** undead, the key of which is to have Bai Qi's sword to kill the divine sword.

The Sword of God Killing can not only resurrect those terracotta figurines, but also command them.

This is naturally the cause of the story, and the development of its story is naturally much earlier than the third part of "The Mummy", which happened in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, when the warlords were fighting.

An ambitious warlord wants to resurrect the terracotta figurines and use their power to dominate the world in the warlord melee. And our protagonist is also involved in Chinese archaeology, tourism, and then involvement.

Of course, the story will not be so simple.

There are still many of these things to be perfected, and Zhang Yi will also use this to better promote his cinema to the world.

When Bali Diller heard this, he naturally understood and didn't say much. is still very confident in Zhang Yi's screenwriting ability. It's just that I don't know how long this film will drag on.

"The guys from Columbia Pictures are coming?" Bali Diller looked outside, and then whispered to Zhang Yi.

"Hmmm! And old acquaintances! Zhang Yi looked over, saw one of them, and then smiled.

That person is naturally Sony's boss Akio Morita. He was accompanied by two people and one Westerner. I think it's the top management of Columbia Pictures today.

"Mr. Akio Morita, I haven't seen you for a long time, but my demeanor is still the same!" Zhang Yi smiled and said with a smile to Akio Morita and the others who came over.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang is better than in the past. Not only in the world film and martial arts circles, but also in the business world, the speed of development is amazing. Akio Morita also said to Zhang Yi with a smile.

With those kind words and a hypocritical smile, Zhang Yi seemed to enjoy it very much, and said to Akio Morita: "Young man, you have to be a little energetic. (To be continued.) )
