Chapter 216 Building a City of Zombies Although Shaw Brothers has stopped production, it is clear that Shaw Brothers still can¡¯t let go of movies. After all, it¡¯s so easy to let go of being together for decades. "Resident Evil" was not only successful in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, but also extremely successful in Europe and the United States. And what a coincidence, "Resident Evil" is a series of movies. The first part obviously left a suspense at the end. Of course, Shao Daheng was so impatient to find Zhang Yi that it was not because of the suspenseful ending. In the final analysis, it was because he couldn't put the movie down at all. "How big is the budget for this movie?" Shao Daheng asked Zhang Yi curiously. No matter how old he was, Shao Daheng didn't seem to have doubted that Zhang Yi would lose money on this movie. "Rush", "Face Off", and "Rush Hour" all had larger investments than "Resident Evil". Although the box office was not as good as "Resident Evil", they still made a lot of money. Since Zhang Yi¡¯s debut, no matter whether he writes, directs or invests in movies, there is not a single one that is not profitable. Of course, almost all of the movies he invested in were written by himself. Of course, except for the "Chinese rising star director". There is no doubt that Zhang Yi has a unique acumen in grasping the market. "No matter how much I use, I want to build a zombie city in the sequel to "Resident Evil"." Zhang Yi glanced at Shao Daheng, then smiled and said. When Shao Daheng heard this, he looked at Zhang Yi with some surprise, but then smiled and said, "Aren't you too excited for big scenes?" "Haha, Uncle Six has noticed this." Zhang Yi He smiled and said. He did have in mind to make Resident Evil bigger than the original. Of course, the original scenes are no longer small. However, it is much smaller than what Zhang Yi had in mind. Maybe it¡¯s because Zhang Yi has a soft spot for big scenes after filming ¡°The Myth¡±. After Shao Daheng left, Zhang Yi did not start writing the script immediately, but went to Jiying Special Effects. He hasn't forgotten it yet. There is a great director who has been stuck in Jiying special effects since he came to Hong Kong. "Where's that guy?" Zhang Yi asked Lan Naicai immediately when he arrived at Jiying Special Effects. "Inside, Mr. Cameron has some unique insights into special effects, and some ideas are enlightening." Lan Naicai immediately said to Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi nodded and immediately walked in, only to see Cameron concentrating on something with a technician from Jiying Special Effects. "Mr. Cameron." Zhang Yi said with a smile. "Huh?" Cameron looked back and saw Zhang Yi. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang. I'm talking about this movie of yours?" "Oh! You're talking about "The End of Love" "What? What do you think of this movie, Mr. Cameron?" Zhang Yi asked with a smile. "Although it is not yet a finished film, it is not difficult for me to see that it is a classic love movie. Of course, the idea of ??ghosts passing through walls in it will definitely have a shocking visual effect once the special effects are successfully produced." Cameron said Listen, and then he talked endlessly. "What do Mr. Cameron think of my special effects?" Zhang Yi asked. "It's no worse than Hollywood's special effects technology. Especially when combined with props, it's worth learning from Hollywood's special effects companies. That will undoubtedly reduce the cost a lot. I didn't expect that there is such a special effects company in Hong Kong. I heard that Mr. Zhang has invested in it one after another With hundreds of millions of dollars coming in, Mr. Zhang must be very optimistic about special effects movies," Cameron said immediately. There are many filmmakers who like special effects movies. Zhang Yi is the same as Cameron. "Of course! Otherwise. Why would I invest so much money? I never think that I am a pure filmmaker who can develop movies without asking for anything in return." Zhang Yi said. He invests in special effects companies, so he naturally likes special effects movies. According to the memory of the previous life, the next life will be very popular. Even a movie that was a hit or not, which one didn¡¯t have special effects? ? Special effects companies only need to be technologically advanced. It will definitely be a cornucopia in the future. "Mr. Zhang is a very discerning filmmaker." Cameron smiled and said. He went to Hong Kong and heard a lot about Zhang Yi. Needless to say, Zhang Yi's legendary experience undoubtedly shocked and admired Cameron. This young man seems to be born for movies. It's a pity that he didn't focus all his energy on movies. "I wonder if Jiying's special effects can meet the technical requirements of "True Lies"?" Zhang Yi asked. "Yes. It's just a bit reluctant, but it shouldn't take long to overcome the technical difficulties." Cameron thought for a while, then looked at Zhang Yi and asked, "Mr. Zhang, do you want to shoot as soon as possible?" "Then wait a little longer. ?Come on. I plan to buy a film company in Hollywood and reorganize it, or directly establish a film company, and then "True Lies" will be the company's first film. I'm counting on Mr. Cameron to make the company a hit. "Zhang Yi smiled and said. Obviously, he saw that Cameron didn't seem to want to shoot now. The technology is still barely there. For a director who pursues perfection, it is impossible to forcefully shoot. "Mr. Zhang plans to film in Hollywood. Set up a film company? "Cameron was a little surprised when he heard this. He knew that Zhang Yi controlled the Hong Kong cinema chain but had not established a film company. He thought he was not interested in opening a film company, but he did not expect that he would open it directly to Hollywood. There are many film companies in Hollywood. But there are also many bankruptcies. ¡°What, no? "Zhang Yi looked at Cameron with a smile. "Of course it's feasible. If Mr. Zhang really wants to buy a film company, I can give him some help. I know a movie company owner who seems to want to take action. His film company was perfect in terms of both distribution and production, but his vision was poor. He made many movies, but lost more. "Cameron said immediately. "Oh. Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi obviously returned his interest and immediately said, "If the price is right, that would be great." " "Haha, I will definitely not disappoint Mr. Zhang. "Cameron smiled and said. "That's okay. When will Mr. Cameron return to the United States? I will send someone to accompany you. "Zhang Yi smiled and said. "Afterwards, Zhang Yi discussed the special effects production of "Resident Evil" sequel with Lan Naicai and others. Zhang Yi made some changes to the script of the sequel to "Resident Evil" and the original version , the church scene was moved to the Chinese Martial Arts Building, and some scenes were added, which can be regarded as advertising for the Chinese Martial Arts Building. When writing the script, it was natural to find almost all the actors except Lin Qingxia, the lead actor. Since the first film, "Resident Evil" has been made into a kung fu version by Zhang Yi. Naturally, action guidance is indispensable. Zhang Yi does not want to put too much thought into the action design. However, Yuan Jiaban of Yuan Heping and Liu Jiaban of Liu Jialiang started filming the Chinese Martial Arts Master series with Zhang Yi¡¯s investment, so Zhang Yi couldn¡¯t get away from it. Find Hong Jinbao again. Whether it is Yuan Kui or Yuan De, Zhang Yi believes that he can take the responsibility. However, Zhang Yi will suffer the consequences. The reason why Hong Jinbao will not let him go is because he has already started filming "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Yuan Kui and Yuan De have experience in the traps of ancient tombs because of the filming of "Myth". The four major martial arts instruction groups in Hong Kong, Yuan Jiaban, Hong Jiaban, and Liu Jiaban are all unavailable at this time, leaving the Chengjia Ban. Now that he has gone to Yugoslavia to film "Eagle Project", he is not in Hong Kong, and it is even more impossible. In terms of style, Zhang Yi prefers Yuan Jiaban. After all, he has the experience of the first "Resident Evil". For Zhang Yi. The martial arts style required by Yi can be mastered very well. "Mr. Yuan, I know you can't get away now. However, when "Resident Evil" was filmed, your brother Yuan Xiangren was also there. This time I would like to invite him to serve as the action director of the sequel to "Resident Evil". Mr. Yuan cannot let anyone go like Brother Sanmao. "Zhang Yi found Yuan Heping and said with a smile. "I'm afraid he missed Mr. Zhang's business! " Yuan Heping said with some worry. There are naturally many benefits to cooperating with Zhang Yi, but if it is not done well, it will make Zhang Yi angry, which is not something he can bear now. The sequel to "Resident Evil" requires a huge investment, and The scenes involved are much bigger than the first one. If I were to take the entire Yuan family, I would feel a lot of pressure, but Yuan Heping would have to worry about it. (To be continued, please search.
