    Chapter 224: Charity, the Elderly, and the Dream Show (Part 1) When Zhang Yi returned to Hong Kong from the United States, "The Love of Ghosts" was performed in nearly 3,000 theaters in North America.  Bali Diller has been in Hollywood for so long, and his connections are naturally beyond what Zhang Yi can match.  Of course, apart from the 500 or so theaters controlled by Zhang Yi, this film is not all because of Bali Diller.  After all, the value of Zhang Yi's movies is not low in the eyes of Hollywood film producers.  ??Especially a movie like "The Last Days" that caused a huge sensation in Southeast Asia.  The bosses of those theater chains still have a certain degree of vision.  They still know more or less which movies can help him make money.  Although the scene in "The Last Love" is not as big as "The Myth", the production cost is higher than that of "The Myth", and this does not include the salaries of Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin.  After all, the costs of shooting in mainland China and Los Angeles are naturally not comparable.  What's more, the nearly 10,000 troops and 500 good horses are free.  "The Love of Ghosts" topped the North American box office chart with a box office of nearly 30 million in its first week. This is also Zhang Yi's third film to top the North American box office chart.  And the film¡¯s box office reputation is showing an upward trend. If there is no movie with a huge box office next week, it will be a sure thing to win the box office championship for the week.  However, Zhang Yi no longer paid attention to these.  "The Hong Kong Charity Federation and TVB jointly held a charity performance at the Coliseum, and I have sent invitation letters to you and me. I have already agreed. Look at you" Zhou Huimin handed it to Zhang Yiyi  He opened the invitation and said.  "Haha, where does Uncle Six plan to build a school again?" Zhang Yi smiled, took the invitation letter over and looked at it, but was stunned.  "This time it was not Uncle Liu who initiated it, but the Charity Federation. Later, when Uncle Six heard about it, he took over the matter. However, this time we are not going to build a school. We are planning to build a nursing home!" Zhou Huimin  Then he said.  "A nursing home, a shelter for the homeless!" Zhang Yi shook his head, and then said, "I participated in this benefit performance. In addition, I will donate some money. I don't do charity, but I have to support charity. Uncle Liu can still be trusted to do charity.  "In his previous life, many charity funds had scandals. Zhang Yi had no trust in those so-called charity funds.  But Zhang Yi had to admit that Shao Daheng's sincerity towards charity is indeed admirable.  Charity performance.  Naturally, it¡¯s a performance that doesn¡¯t pay or pays less.  No one has calculated how much Zhang Yi¡¯s appearance fee is now.  After all, Zhang Yi stopped performing a long time ago.  Of course, even the Mainland China Spring Festival Gala had no plans to appear at the beginning.  Although Zhang Yi is now the most popular star in Southeast Asia, no one is looking for him to act in commercials, nor to shoot any commercials, let alone to make TV movies.  Can¡¯t afford to ask, or simply don¡¯t dare to ask.  Moreover, everyone knows the result of asking.  The invitation letter for this charity performance was sent to Zhang Yi.  More polite than expected.  The Charity Federation and TVB never thought that Zhang Yi would nod to participate.  Zhang Yi agreed to participate in this charity performance, which is undoubtedly a great surprise.  Unsure, Shao Daheng personally called Zhang Yi to ask.  Zhang Yi¡¯s participation in this charity performance immediately brought this charity performance to a new level.  At the same time, this benefit performance attracted much attention.  The tickets for this benefit performance immediately increased and became hard to get.  Some celebrities and artists who had not planned to participate called and took the initiative to participate.  A nursing home?  Every time I think of this.  Zhang Yi would always unconsciously think of a movie about an old man in his previous life.  "Flying Over the Nursing Home"!  After watching this movie, which was extremely poor at the box office, Zhang Yi felt a lot.  Although it was mostly filled with happy laughter, there were several scenes that brought Zhang Yi to tears.  Especially the words that Lao Ge told his grandson.  Let Zhang Yi's memory remain fresh.  The question and answer about "what's on the tree" makes people think deeply.  To write, or not to write it out?     shoot.  Still not filming it?  Zhang Yi struggled with it, but finally decided to write it out and find someone to film it.  If you really lose, it doesn't matter.  The story of "Flying Over the Nursing Home" takes place in a private nursing home. The lives of Lao Ge and other elderly people are like a stagnant water. No matter who steps into this place, they will smell the smell of death.  Lao Zhou, an old man with advanced bladder cancer, in order to cheer up Lao Ge who attempted suicide, and also to stop letting other old people live in confusion, organized everyone to do more meaningful things, using the old people's favorite TV programs,  Awaken everyone's sleeping courage and participation spirit, realize their dreams, and let everyoneBe free and unrestrained for once.  Rehearsing, having fun, escaping from the nursing home, driving a car on the highway, the passion for life is ignited again, and the meaning of life is gradually revealed The script was not written quickly, and some parts need to be revised.  "Ayi, what script have you written?" Zhou Huimin put a cup of tea on Zhang Yi's desk and asked immediately.  "Write a movie that might break my box office record?" Zhang Yi looked up at Zhou Huimin and said immediately.  "It's not easy for a movie to break your box office record. Now several of your movies have a box office of over 50 million." Zhou Huimin smiled and said.  "It's not about breaking the record of 50 million, but breaking the record of 20 million." Zhang Yi picked up the dish sent by Zhou Huimin and took a gentle sip.  "Break 20 million?" Zhou Huimin frowned upon hearing this, and then his eyes widened, looking at Zhang Yi in disbelief, and then said, "You mean, this movie will probably not reach 2000 in Hong Kong."  A box office of 10,000 yuan?¡± Zhang Yi nodded and handed the almost-written script to Zhou Huimin.  Zhou Huimin glanced at Zhang Yi, a little confused. Since she knew it would break the record, why did she write it out again?  There is no movie written by Zhang Yi that has sold less than 20 million yuan, which has become an unbreakable record in the film and television industry.  "Flying Over the Nursing Home?" Zhou Huimin looked at the title and immediately understood a little bit. After reading it for a while, she looked at Zhang Yi and said, "It's a very good story. I believe the box office must be good. Why didn't A Yi?  Where is your confidence?" Zhang Yi was stunned when he heard this.  This film was released in 2012, but it only had a total box office of more than 5 million. I have to say that some of it is ridiculously low.  But, then again, just because the box office was low at that time does not mean that it is low now!  Moreover, the main reason why it was so low at the beginning was that it was included in Hollywood blockbusters, which made it difficult not to be sad.  Moreover, at that time, the tastes of the audience had already changed. For movies starring old people, they had to be said to be too unattractive.  However, Zhang Yi still doubts that it can reach 20 million.  But Zhang Yi still decided to make the movie. The fact that the movie he wrote has not achieved a record of less than 20 million is just a false reputation.  Zhang Yi doesn't care about this at all now.  "No matter how big the box office is, I will vote for this film and even make a cameo in it. When the time comes, I will invite Fa Ge and the others to make guest appearances, not to increase the box office, but I just hope that because of this film, more people will pay attention to elderly parents.  "Zhang Yi smiled and said.  "Yeah! I also want to make a cameo in it!" Zhou Huimin nodded and said.  "Haha! You are indispensable. No matter how big the box office is, this film will never lose money." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "I can do it with nothing in "Nightclub", and I can do the same with this film."  "Ah! Ah Yi, you want to insert advertisements into this film! I'm afraid it's not good." Upon hearing this, Zhou Huimin looked at Zhang Yi in surprise.  "After "Nightclub", most of my films were commercial, but they rarely included advertisements. How could it be possible to insert advertisements in this film?" Zhang Yi waved his hand and said with a smile.  "Then how could you make this film without spending any money? Even if every actor appears in a friendly role, it wouldn't be possible!" Zhou Huimin looked at Zhang Yi in confusion.  "What do you think?" Zhang Yi said with a smile.  "Huh? I can't guess it!" Zhou Huimin thought for a moment and couldn't figure out the key. She took Zhang Yi's arm and said coquettishly, "Ayi, just tell me, how can you do it?"  Do you remember those variety shows in movies that old people like to watch?" Zhang Yi said with a smile.  ""Asian Dream Show"? Is there such a variety show? Why haven't I heard of it?" Zhou Huimin thought for a while, then her eyes lit up and she looked at Zhang Yi, as if she had thought of something.  "No! But it will happen soon." Zhang Yi said with a smile.  (To be continued)
