It is said that with the help of various media, the newspaper was snapped up by the entrants, and Yi Feiyang, who was holding a small golden man and smiling gently and humbly, occupied the front page of the newspaper.

In addition to the hype about Yi Feiyang's award, some newspapers and magazines gave sharp comments on Yi Feiyang's Oscar battle with the great director Spielberg.

"Although China Yi won Spielberg at the Oscars, we must see that this is the partiality of the Oscar organizing committee! Yes, in order to show that the Oscars are tolerant and magnanimous, they will be so generous to give many awards to an Indian film! ”

"I really can't figure out if this belongs to the Oscars of the United States or to the Oscars of the Chinese? Is this Hollywood, or India's Bollywood? I was surprised by the victory of China Yi! ”

"Support Spielberg! Boycott China Yi! ”

"Spielberg will always be the best!"

……

It can be said that there are all kinds of accusations. There's no way, this is the United States, it's Spielberg's main battlefield, plus this old man is popular, and there are many die-hard fans, of course, they are angry with Yi Feiyang.

In fact, in the previous life, there was an Oscar battle between director Li Press and Spielberg, that is, "Youth Pi Drifting" vs. "Lincoln", but unfortunately he lost to Li Press in the most critical decisive battle at the end, and Li Press also got the "greetings" from Spielberg's diehard fans, and the bloody dog who was scolded in the press has similarities with the current Yi Feiyang.

In contrast, Yi Feiyang was actually scolded relatively lightly, because his intelligence and talent have long been recognized by most people.

Anyway, after this Oscar battle. Compared to Spielberg. Yi Feiyang, a Chinese director who is only 26 years old, has once again become the focus of discussion.

This guy in Hollywood. With his box office, word-of-mouth, and awards, he once again proved his ability to create miracles, and he lived up to his name as "Son of God".

……

If the revelations in newspapers and magazines are not powerful enough, then let's take a look at the Internet.

The sensational effect on the Internet is as shocking as an eight-magnitude earthquake.

In a Yahoo feature, a fan named "Eskimo" wrote: "Oh God. China Yi is really amazing, he won seven awards without a sound! I've seen his "Slumdog Millionaire", it's so substantial! Well deserved! ”

A fan with the screen name "Angel with Broken Wings" wrote: "I look forward to China Yi's "I Am Legend" to start filming soon, and of course, his authentic zombie TV series "The Walking Dead" can premiere soon, wow, I can't wait!" ”

The screen name "Amazon Tropical Fish" wrote: "Guess how many awards China Yi can win at the next Oscars? Can there be more than seven? Ha Lu Ha! ”

……

On the Internet in many parts of Asia, national sentiment is even higher.

On a Chinese website, a netizen who signed the name "Great Qin Empire" wrote: "Yi Feiyang is the pride of our Chinese, and also the pride of young people in the world." He told us that the Oscars are no longer the world of white people, and it is no longer the self-entertainment of white directors! ”

A person signed "Yellow people are your father" wrote: "Yi Dao. Start filming an anti-Japanese movie and open the eyes of the Yankees! ”

……

It can be said that with Yi Feiyang's Oscar winning and becoming the "Seven Crowns", fans all over the world have made comments on the Internet like crazy.

All kinds of praise have flourished in the online community, and the overwhelming attention has made the whole world know the Tao of the Chinese director, the incomparable charm of this Chinese director!

Of course, nothing is perfect, and in the midst of so many compliments, there are occasionally discordant shouts, mockery, and even jealousy.

It can be said that in the United States, those guys who have racial sentiments and do not like Chinese very much, in response to Yi Feiyang's soaring popularity, began to collectively complain and shoot bricks.

"China Yi is just because of his young age and yellow skin that Oscar treats him differently. God, I can make movies for anything these days, whether it's "Happiness Knocks on the Door" or "Millionaire", they can't move me even the slightest. Oscar is really blind! ”

"He's a playboy! It was and it is! It's just that he is now well disguised, and Anne Hathaway is completely blinded by him! If you don't believe it, look at the photo where he looks at Angelina Jolie, he is a pervert! Now I heard that he is going to cooperate with Zhu Li in filming, and his purpose is self-evident, not to sleep with Zhu Li! Damn, how come our American chicks are all soaked by the Chinese? Finally, I'm going to say that I should break up with him, Anne Hathaway! ”

"Boring an Oscar, I announce that I will boycott the Oscars with China's participation from now on! If nothing else, I really don't like this Chinese who constantly make up public opinion! ”

In response to such slander and insults, Yi Feiyang's group of die-hard fans quit, and the big guys swarmed up, and the countless saliva and saliva converged into the ocean, and launched one fierce scolding battle after another with those "brick patters", Yi Feiyang made people all over the United States crazy again.

……

This head, unloading those former glories, Yi Feiyang abandoned all remarks and began his directing career wholeheartedly.

Now the first season of the TV series "The Walking Dead" is basically about to finish filming.

Yi Feiyang temporarily withdrew from it, handed over the director's power to Tom, the assistant director next to him, and let the fat Robert as the producer follow up the progress of the play.

In Yi Feiyang's view, Tom himself is a TV series director, and he has been filming with him for so many days, so it can be said that the entire filming process has become familiar; As for the fat man Robert himself is the comic author of this play, after communicating with him, he has formed a very complete storyline system, as long as he strictly checks it, nothing will happen.

Yi Feiyang's calculation is very accurate, at most, in another week, this drama will be premiered on the AMC TV station he acquired, and then he will know how effective the road is.

Yi Feiyang, who withdrew from TV production, was not idle, but immediately started to devote himself to the play "I Am Legend".

First of all, it is necessary to go through the program to write the script. Apply to start filming after the script is filed. These are cumbersome and necessary procedures. For the current Yi Feiyang. It can be said that it is easy to play.

Dream Entertainment has already set up a screenwriting team, the whole team has seven or eight people, when you say the outline of the script, or give it to them, they will be able to hand you three sets of scripts in the shortest possible time, usually three days, for you to choose the most suitable for filming.

Arguably. Dream Entertainment has officially entered the "industrial age" in film production, with production department, screenwriting department, director department, photography department, makeup department, special effects department, as well as post-editing, post-production and publicity departments.

In each of these industrial chains, it is basically the elite that Yi Feiyang has recruited from all walks of life in Hollywood. Either it's a talent poached with a high salary.

For Yi Feiyang, talent is equivalent to the thickness of the US dollar. Talent equals wealth; Of course, there will be some characters who don't love money, like to be respected, and need creative freedom. ”

Now that the script writing of "I Am Legend" has been completed, Yi Feiyang and Vice President Dures have selected the most suitable set of scripts.

Script content: The story is mainly about 2012, when humanity was finally defeated by the virus, and former military virologist Angelina Jolie became the only survivor in New York City because of the natural antibodies in her body and was not infected, and even once thought that she was the only surviving human in the world. Alone in Manhattan, New York, with only her dog Samantha by her side, she strives to develop an antidote to the virus in addition to surviving on her own......

At the end of the script, there are two endings.

The first ending is that at the moment when the protagonist successfully isolates the antibody, the zombie also invades her (his) fortress, and she can only sacrifice her surname to let the mother and son who fled for their lives leave, and finally these two people send the antibodies she bought at the cost of their lives to those human settlements who are not infected with the virus and have no antibodies.

The second ending is that after the zombies break through the protagonist's fortress, the male leader draws a butterfly pattern on the glass of the laboratory (the female zombie captured by the protagonist for experiments has a butterfly tattoo on her body), and the protagonist only then understands that the reason why the zombies are attacking his fortress is to rescue the female zombie, the male leader's lover.

In the end, the protagonist returns the female zombie to the male leader, and completely changes his three-year view that zombies have no intelligence and no feelings, acknowledging the equal existence of zombies as a new species and humans, and driving to the survivor settlement in Vermont with Anna's mother and son, who fled here.

Yi Feiyang knew that the first ending of the road was a public version in the time and space before him, and the second ending was generally seen on the Internet. He didn't know which ending was better, but for himself, he was more inclined to the second ending, so there was no need to make two endings.

For this kind of "fast food script", Yi Feiyang, who is a gold medal screenwriter, digested it quickly, and after making some revisions and annotations overnight, Yi Feiyang sent someone to give the script to Angelina Jolie, the heroine of this play, so that she could familiarize herself with the story and characters in advance.

During this period, I don't know who revealed the script to Will Smith, Yi Feiyang guessed that it was Dures, because the company kept the script very secret, and there was no one else except him.

After Will Smith read the script, he liked it very much, and immediately ran over to ask Yi Feiyang, "Can you let him star in this play."

Yi Feiyang is hard, you must know that the play itself in the previous life of Lu Dao was the work of the "black prince" Will Smith, and now he created it in advance, but he chose to let Angelina Jolie play it, he is already very sorry for this guy Will, I didn't expect Will to take the initiative to come to play, how is this good?

"I know, dear Yi, this will make you very embarrassed, but I think this play is very suitable for me, yes, I have a feeling that I have a lot of fate in this play, I hope you can think about it......" Will Smith said very tactfully and tactfully, so that Yi Feiyang was embarrassed to answer him immediately.

Afterwards, Yi Feiyang found Dures and asked him about it. Sure enough, Dures said that he told Will Smith about the script because, "In the absence of any uncertainty as to whether the main character is male or female, I felt that Will was better suited for the role in it!" ”

Dures choked Yi Feiyang with a word, yes, it seems that Dures is more sensitive to movie casting than he imagined.

That's right. Will Smith is a good fit for this play. But. The "I Am Legend" that Yi Feiyang wants to create is by no means the male version in his previous life, but to create a female version of "I Am Legend".

But what about Will?

As a trump card of fantasy entertainment, it can't make him chill.

After thinking about it, Yi Feiyang found a screenwriting team and told them this and this, and then found the great director Gore Verbinski, who was a big seller in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series and is now worth a lot of money. He is a famous golden director in Hollywood. Yi Feiyang and Gore talked for a while.

The next day, Yi Feiyang announced that the blockbuster sci-fi film "I, Robot" of Dream Entertainment will start filming in June, starring Will Smith and directed by Gore Verbinski!

That's right, this is a new drama that Yi Feiyang helped him create in order to make up for Will, and it is also a sci-fi blockbuster in which Will Smith became popular again in his previous life.

Of course, Yi Feiyang is not simply to make up for the fragile heart of Brother Will. The main reason is that this drama was very good in the previous life.

What a bullfork?

Costing more than $100 million, the American thrilling sci-fi blockbuster "I. Robot", which grossed $52.2 million in its opening weekend and was enthusiastically sought after by fans. The film presents an ingenious and dazzling futuristic world, while creating a dangerous sci-fi adventure that allows the audience to feel the thrill while contemplating the profound theme of the existential crisis of humanity.

It can be said that the influence and profitability of this "I, Robot" are not weaker than "I Am a Legend".

After reading the script, Will Smith liked the play very much, and was happy to be the leading actor of the play, and was even happier to work with the golden director Gore Verbinski.

Even after reading the script, the vice president had to admit that the actor in this play seemed to be more suitable for Will to play.

In short, the result is - everything is happy!

Looking back, Yi Feiyang began to pry himself non-stop with his "I Am Legend". In order to cooperate with the TV series "The Walking Dead", Yi Feiyang had to speed up the preparation and filming of this drama, and it is best to officially release it after the premiere of "The Walking Dead", that is, the time left for Yi Feiyang now is only one month at most.

Making a film like this a month is definitely a challenge for him.

You must know that there is no shortage of fast gunslinger movies in Hollywood, which are shot in a lot of time, but the quality of many films will not be guaranteed.

Is it speed or quality?

This presented Yi Feiyang with a difficult problem.

The outside world has also begun to talk about this.

"Oh my God, finish a "I Am Legend" in a month? It's not going to be a bad movie, right? ”

"Even if it's not a bad movie, it's a fast food movie, and it will definitely not become a classic!"

"Although China Yi is very magical, but this time, it is estimated that he is going to hit the rocks!"

……

As a Hong Kong native, I have experienced the rapid shooting techniques of Hong Kong films, for example, during the most prosperous period of Hong Kong film development, a drama can be completed in seven days, such as "God of Gamblers" directed by Wang Jing, and Yu Rentai's "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" and so on. These are all boutiques, not garbage. This also proves that if a movie is made quickly, it is not necessarily a bad movie, on the contrary, if you carefully polish it for three or four years, it is not necessarily a classic.

Thinking about this, Yi Feiyang didn't care about any worries or the discussion of the outside world, and began to fully conceive this play.

To be honest, Yi Feiyang's definition of "I Am Legend" is not exactly a disaster horror film, but more of a literary film. Because there are not many descriptions of zombies in the movie, the filming of the film is completely based on the mental activities of the protagonist. Use the performance of the protagonist to let people experience the loneliness and horror of the apocalypse, and better cherish the people in front of them.

But even so, if the depiction of zombies is still the same as "Resident Evil", the impact of visual effects is not as great as imagined.

Because the success of "Resident Evil" has attracted a lot of followers, the current zombie movie zombies are similar to Resident Evil's.

Even if the kind of movie with a small investment is trying to get closer to "Resident Evil" in terms of styling, it has now caused the audience's aesthetic fatigue, and if "I Am Legend" uses this kind of styling, it is estimated that Yi Feiyang can be drowned just by spitting.

What's more, in "The Walking Dead" directed by Yi Feiyang, the attributes of the zombies have been modified, since these two dramas complement each other and promote each other, it is necessary to modify the zombies in it.

For this reason, Yi Feiyang boldly removed the name "zombie", and then created a new terrifying race - Night Demons!

The Night Demon, as the name suggests, is a demon that appears at night, fears the sun, is cruel, bloodthirsty, moves quickly, and likes to pounce on living creatures.

Most of the zombies in the movie can wander around and eat people at night, day or night.

If you learn from Chinese zombie movies, zombies can't come out during the day, and they will be burned to death by the sun when they see the sun. And the shape of the zombie is also darker, the skin is exposed blood vessels, and the blood is black. The epidermis, like other zombies, has no hair.

These zombies are bloodthirsty, not only like to eat people, as long as they are living creatures, they are all delicious. The zombie's teeth are protruding, that is, the canine teeth are exposed to the lips, afraid of light and fire, and the strength is strong, enough to climb dozens of floors. Because they hide in the basement during the day, the skin of the zombies is pale.

Thinking of this, Yi Feiyang summoned the great director Peter Jackson, who is also the founder of Weta Digital Special Effects, and now he is behind Yi Feiyang's ass and has become the best partner.

Peter Jackson is a master of makeup and special effects, especially his "Lord of the Rings" is enough to prove his skills.

Yi Feiyang didn't say much, and directly told Peter Jackson about his "Night Demon" idea, Peter snapped his fingers and said: "This is easy to do, I'll arrange it, and you will see the results tomorrow!" ”

Yi Feiyang looked at his watch and said, "Time is running out, let's do it today, I hope to be able to see the sample before dawn!" ”

"In such a hurry?" Peter Jackson was stunned for a moment, "That's good, you're the boss, you have the final say." ”

Yi Feiyang was very tired, and planned to squint for a while to recuperate his spirit. This Jackson began to act, found his special effects makeup artist, told them Yi Feiyang's requirements, and then a large group of people began to fight non-stop.

In many movies, people just see the shocking effect of makeup special effects, such as the scene of the male protagonist's mother becoming a devil in "Zombies Playing Across the Line", and the scenes of various zombies in "Resident Evil", but they don't know that these "works" are almost all created by makeup special effects.

Seemingly ordinary silicone, dough, and even inconspicuous yarns, hair, etc., have become mysterious weapons in their hands. Under their rigorous and professional creation, soon, the original shape of a "Night Demon" appeared. (To be continued......)
