Chapter 196: The National Art Building and the Kung Fu Movie (Part II)
Chapter 196 Guoshu Building and Kung Fu Movie (II)
Kung fu films in the style of gods and ghosts, "A Chinese Ghost Story" can be regarded as "A Chinese Ghost Story", and the fantasy genre of "Mr. Zombie" is barely considered. and the traditional style of martial arts, the previous "Wong Fei Hung" series, "Ip Man" and so on. Urban comedy style, there are more, whether it is the "Five Lucky Stars" series, or "Plan A", "Jingcha Story", etc. As for the combination of science fiction genres, the most representative today is undoubtedly Zhang Yi's "Resident Evil".
Invest 100 million to shoot kung fu movies, even if you invest 10 million in a movie, you can shoot ten. This is undoubtedly a big deal. It has to be surprising.
Zhang Yi is rich, this is known to everyone. Especially Hong Jinbao, he took a check of 30 million from Zhang Yi, and he knows better than anyone how much Zhang Yi has earned in the foreign exchange market. But even if you have money, not everyone has the courage to shoot kung fu movies with 100 million at a time.
Zhang Yi invested in the filming of kung fu films, but he wanted to expand the influence of the Guoshu Building. When Chinese kung fu is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the Guoshu building is open all over the world, will you still worry about no business?
"Mr. Zhang's "Ip Man" made Yongchun boxing a household name. Traditional kung fu films in the genre of biographies have a very intuitive understanding of the promotion of Chinese kung fu. Liu Jialiang said.
"Mr. Liu is right. Since the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there have been many famous martial arts masters at home and abroad, and the experience of each of them is very legendary. Whether it is Tai Chi Grandmaster Yang Luchan, Bagua Grandmaster Dong Haichuan, or Sun Lutang, the founder of Sun's Taiji, who is known as the world's first-hand Sun's Tai Chi, as well as the Eight Extremes Grandmaster Li Shuwen, Wudang Sword Immortal Li Jinglin and so on. Cheng Xiaodong then said.
"Although "Ip Man" has made Yongchun boxing a household name, it is limited to the Chinese area. In Europe and the United States, the influence of "Ip Man" is naturally not as influential as "Resident Evil", a film combining Chinese kung fu and science fiction. If you want to spread Chinese kung fu culture to the world, you must conquer European and American fans, and combining it with science fiction is undoubtedly the most suitable for their taste. Yuan Heping said.
"The reason why "Resident Evil" has caused a sensation in North America and other places, the role played by the movie itself may not be as big as that played by Ah Yi alone." Hong Jinbao said.
As soon as he said this, everyone did not refute it, as Hong Jinbao said, "Resident Evil" caused a sensation in North America, in addition to the movie itself, I am afraid that it is inseparable from Zhang Yi personally. If it weren't for Zhang Yi's exposure to both hands on TV, especially the dodging bullets, which shook North America and set off a Chinese kung fu craze, it is not clear whether the box office of "Resident Evil" can beat "Rescue by the Hurricane".
"I think the actual combat style of killing enemies based on the national art style of "Rescue of the Hurricane" is more acceptable to European and American fans." Hong Jinbao continued.
"The gunfight action movie of "Rescue of the Wind" is better than a kung fu movie, and there are not many places in it that reflect kung fu. And "Rescue of the Hurricane" is loved by European and American fans, in addition to the action style in it, the plot also plays a great role. Hong Jinbao's junior brother Yuan Kui said.
Hong Jinbao glanced at Yuan Kui, so that he was not angry because of his rebuttal. Moreover, what Yuan Kui said is not wrong, there are mostly gunfights in "Hurricane Rescue", even if you do it, it is a clean and neat blow to force your life, and there is no superfluous action. And the plot of the movie itself is also a highlight.
Zhang Yi looked at many famous martial arts with the examples of movies he shot or screenplayed, and he didn't have much pride in his heart, let alone pride. copied it, no matter how successful the movie is, Zhang Yi's sense of accomplishment is getting weaker and weaker. The only thing I'm happy about may be that he copied the ghost, but he used it to make the ghost's money.
In the end, no one could convince anyone. However, Zhang Yi has confirmed his investment intention to invest in several films, among which the traditional kung fu movies co-directed by Liu Jialiang and Yuan Heping are the largest.
The title of the film is "The Grandmaster". Of course, this is not the movie that the Wang family used in the previous life to tell the story of martial arts in the north and south with Ip Man as the protagonist.
This is a series of movies that will make all the martial arts masters in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China into biographical films, showing the entire martial arts Tong guò movie. And the first part is the Tai Chi master Yang Luchan, the founder of Yang's Tai Chi who is invincible all over the capital. Secondly, it is the gossip master Dong Haichuan.
After Zhang Yi discussed with Hong Jinbao and others, he returned to the villa, but met Zhao Zixuan walking up.
"Master, my dad is here." Among the three apprentices, Zhang Yi taught the most is Zhao Zixuan. It's not that Zhang Yi likes his own boxing skills to be passed on by him, but that he has been with Zhang Yi for the longest time.
Zhang Yi nodded, and when he walked in, he saw Zhao Chenxi sitting on the sofa in the living room talking and laughing with Zhou Qinglin.
"Brother Zhao!" Zhang Yi greeted with a smile, and then sat down.
"Brother Zhang, I heard Master Zhou say that Master Sun Jianyun will also come to Hong Kong this time?" Zhao Chenxi smiled at Zhang Yi and said.
"Well, it's already on our way. It is estimated that it will arrive at noon tomorrow. He was accompanied by many boxers from the mainland martial arts world. Zhang Yi nodded and said.
"Hehe, it seems that the opening of your Guoshu Building is really a martial arts event! It's no wonder that some people are in a hurry. When Zhao Chenxi heard this, he immediately said.
Zhang Yi's eyes narrowed, then smiled, and said, "Brother Zhao has something to say, is someone going to make trouble?" ”
"Recently, the Thai martial arts community has jumped up and down, and it has been extremely close to the RI martial arts world and the Korean martial arts community, whether it is in Southeast Asia, or the United States and other places, because of your influence, their martial arts gyms have suffered a lot." Zhao Chenxi did not answer directly, but said.
A boxer's influence is limited, no matter how high your kung fu is. But Zhang Yi is different, he is very popular in his own right, compared to those big-name stars, and is sought after by the audience.
The trivial matters of some celebrities' lives can be hyped up by the media, and even any celebrity who opens a restaurant can be known to everyone. Not to mention that Zhang Yi, a kung fu master, opened a martial arts gym.
An action star, even if not very famous, is probably more attractive to the media than a boxing master. Zhang Yi, a celebrity who is a legendary Xing himself and a master of boxing, has naturally attracted a lot of media attention.
Those media are pervasive, and they have naturally heard of things in the martial arts world, such as Shao Daheng daring to broadcast live, not to buy favors to Zhang Yi and help him promote the Guoshu Building, not only the celebrities who attended that day, but also many celebrities. Rather, he knew that there was a high chance that there would be conflict.
Where there is a conflict, there is a flashpoint.
"Huh!" Zhang Yi smiled, and then said coldly, "If they dare to come, I will dare to step on their heads to preach national arts." They want to be a stepping stone for the development of the Guoshu Building, and I welcome it. ”
When Zhao Chenxi heard this, he looked at Zhang Yi but smiled. For the domineering revealed in Zhang Yi's words, he didn't feel the slightest awkwardness. Now Zhang Yi has that ability. Just now, he had already learned about Zhang Yi's kung fu this year from Zhou Qinglin. What's more, there is no shortage of masters around Zhang Yi now, unless the top masters in the martial arts world of the Three Kingdoms come, otherwise he doesn't even need to do it.
"Hehe, he is worthy of being the descendant of the Sun Sect! Let me try your kung fu. ”
A voice suddenly sounded, and a person appeared in the living room at some point, and a few flashes came to Zhang Yi, and smashed it with a Tai Chi move.
As soon as the voice sounded, Zhang Yi was already shocked, the hairs on his body exploded, his hair stood up instantly, and he got up at the same time, and the sofa behind him hissed and shattered.
The person who came slammed it, it seemed to be dull, as if it was weak, but Zhang Yi's eyesight now couldn't see that his hammer had returned to its roots, with strong strength, dense dark gold, and great strength. So without hesitation, a gossip swam away to dodge, and then poked at the man's second child with a blow of his palm.
And Zhou Qinglin and Zhang Yi reacted generally, that person spoke when he came, and he started before the words fell, and he was shocked in his heart, Zhang Yi's villa's defense now is that it is impossible for him to come in quietly, but he didn't expect this person to do it. Moreover, he and Zhang Yi actually realized when people entered the living room.
This person's kung fu is so high and his qi and blood are locked so stable that people can't reach it. Dan Jin master must be the legendary Dan Jin master.
This kind of master is not something that one person can fight. Siege!
This thought flashed through Zhou Qinglin's mind in an instant, and then he jumped forward and joined the battle group. (To be continued.) )
