    Chapter 241 Oscar Nomination For Barry Diller, he dared to switch from Fox, one of the seven major Hollywood film companies, to Zhang Yi's Jiying Film Company, a company that is still in the development stage. Naturally, it is impossible not to do something to Zhang Yi.  After some investigation, he agreed easily.  He has studied movies written by Zhang Yi and was shocked by Zhang Yi's unbridled imagination.  Moreover, he also noticed that the commercial value of movies written by Zhang Yi is much higher than the artistic value.  He is indeed as he said, more like a businessman than a filmmaker.  It's just that he is a very talented businessman in movies.  Barry Diller had to admit that his boss was dubbed a monster by the Southeast Asian media, which was not without reason.  He is a monster.  After reading the three scripts written by Zhang Yi, with Barry Diller¡¯s eyes, I can naturally see his value.  The movie "Titanic" is naturally the movie that Zhang Yi mentioned with an investment of 200 million US dollars.  I have to say that this movie is indeed worth investing in.  However, the risks are extremely high.  Well done, it is undoubtedly a classic among classics.  If the photo is not good, then you will have to go through the whole process.  Of the three scripts, the one with the most obvious commercialization is "The Mummy", a film with a slightly magical color.  As for the degree of liking, Bali Diller's favorite is "The Shawshank Redemption".  Zhang Yi looked at Barry Diller and smiled without disturbing him.  After Barry Diller finished reading the three scripts, he closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, then looked at Zhang Yi, his eyes changed obviously.  "The boss of "Titanic" really plans to let Cameron direct? He is not the best candidate now." Barry Diller looked at Zhang Yi and asked immediately.  "Haha, he is not now, but he will definitely be in the future." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, this movie will only take a few years. It will definitely not be shot. Let's take a look at his filming of "True Lies" first.  How about writing the story I mentioned? "There's no rush for this movie!" "Who are you going to direct for "The Mummy" and "The Shawshank Redemption"?" Barry Diller asked again.  "It's not who I plan to direct, but who you plan to direct." Zhang Yi shook his head and then said, "I just provide the script, and I don't care about other things. When you think it's suitable, you can film it. You  Whoever is suitable for directing will direct it!" Barry Diller looked at Zhang Yi and smiled.  He nodded and said: "How long are you going to stay in the United States this time? Have you never thought about staying in the United States?" "After the sequel of "Resident Evil" is released, I will return to Hong Kong. After the Spring Festival, I will come to the United States to film a movie about Chinese Kung Fu.  Movies. The focus of work may shift in the second half of the year. I can trust you about the film company. At the end of next year, if there are no surprises, I will increase my investment in the film company." Zhang Yi said with a smile.  Barry Diller nodded and said nothing more.  For a hands-off boss like Zhang Yi.  He still quite liked it.  This gave him greater room for free expression.  As for Zhang Yi's increased investment in the film company, he was not too surprised.  This can be seen from the fact that Zhang Yi invested a lot of money in researching special effects technology in Hong Kong.  Zhang Yi is busy promoting the sequel of "Resident Evil".  Because of the background of the first film, this film still attracted a lot of attention.  and.  Zhang Yi is now extremely famous in his own right.  At this time, he was well known to American audiences, not only for his kung fu, but also for his movies.  The first part of "Resident Evil".  Let everyone know that Zhang Yi is not only a kung fu master, but also a director.  Next, "The Myth" further established Zhang Yi's reputation as director.  after all.  It was unimaginable before that a film with pure Eastern culture could actually win the weekly box office championship in North America.  Of course, Zhang Yi's most famous movie is undoubtedly his "The Love of Ghosts". A movie with an investment of less than 10 million US dollars, it actually earned nearly 500 million in box office, ranking among the global box office rankings.  The third place.  Second only to Spielberg's "et" and Lucas's "Star Wars" movies.  ¡°Boss, what a happy event!¡± Barry Diller held a newspaper and walked into the office with a smile and said to Zhang Yi.  Zhang Yi looked over doubtfully, made a joke, and said, "Oh, what's the happy event? Did you pick up money when you went out?" "Oh!" Barry Diller was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and put the money in his hand.  The newspaper was handed to Zhang Yi and he said, "Your movie "The End of the World" was nominated for several Oscars!" "Really?" Zhang Yi responded calmly, and then looked at the newspaper handed over by Barry Diller.  , looked at it, and then handed it back and said, "I know." Barry Diller looked at Zhang Yi, took the newspaper handed back by Zhang Yi in a dull manner, and asked after a while: "You don't have it?"A little excited, or happy?  In addition to Best Supporting Actress, Best Picture, Best Editing, and Best Screenplay, are they all yours?  A film has been shortlisted for four awards. Are you acting too calm?  " "It's just a nomination, not an award.  What is so happy and exciting about?  "Zhang Yi said calmly, with a little doubt in his tone. "You are awesome!  "After a long while, Barry Diller only gave Zhang Yi two words. "For any director, knowing that his film has four awards nominated for Oscars, and he has three. It is absolutely impossible to behave as calmly as Zhang Yi is now  Not to mention that he is only twenty years old, even those directors who have won numerous awards will never act so calm when they learn that they have been shortlisted for four awards. This guy is really a monster! He is as calm as if the movie has nothing to do with him.  It¡¯s nothing to do with it. It¡¯s impossible to say that Zhang Yi is unhappy. He is happy, but not to the point of being excited. Zhang Yi doesn¡¯t think that the film¡¯s award has much to do with him.  "" also received these nominations, and even won Best Supporting Actress and Best Screenplay. Zhang Yi filmed this film not only because he likes the movie, but also because it can make a lot of money.  I didn¡¯t think about winning any awards. It¡¯s just that Zhang Yi didn¡¯t expect that the announcement of this year¡¯s Oscar nominations would immediately cause a sensation. Zhang Yi is now promoting the sequel of ¡°Resident Evil¡± and frequently appears in front of the American media, which has already attracted a lot of media attention.  Attention. Now, as soon as the Oscar nomination list came out, Zhang Yi suddenly became the focus of media attention, and the attention of his new film "Resident Evil" has also increased a lot. The Oscar list almost surpassed Zhang.  Yi's previous promotion of the sequel to "Resident Evil" made Zhang Yi sigh. Because Zhang Yi performed kung fu on TV, it set off a kung fu craze in North America and stimulated its box office.  Now, because of the Oscar nomination list, Zhang Yi believes that the box office of the "Resident Evil" sequel will definitely increase. It is better to come early than to come by chance. On January 20, 1987, the "Resident Evil" sequel was released simultaneously around the world.  It is also the first Chinese-language movie to be released simultaneously around the world. The sequel to "Resident Evil" is much weaker than the first one in terms of suspense, but the action is more exciting and the scenes are more spectacular.  It is unprecedented to create a city of zombies as Zhang Yi said. The original version was released at the time, but it was definitely a big scene nearly 20 years ago.  Shocking effect. What's more, Zhang Yi's Kung Fu version of "Resident Evil" is much better than the original version in terms of scenes and visuals. Especially the guest appearances of Zhang Yi and other martial arts masters, although they don't have many scenes, they are definitely highlights.  It¡¯s unforgettable. Especially when Zhang Yi used a large sword to kill a group of zombies like chopping melons and vegetables, and even split the licker in half, it is definitely a classic.  The martial artist who played a guest role finally let Alice and others go first to fight the monster. Of course, it was said to be a big battle, but it didn't start. After all, there was a duel between Alice, played by Lin Qingxia, and the monster, so she couldn't take the lead.  Therefore, Zhang Yi left room for imagination here. Zhang Yi jumped up and struck the monster with a knife, and then the camera turned and nothing happened.  It makes people want to scold their mother.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
