Chapter 242: Curses Amid Praise - The sequel to "Resident Evil" was released simultaneously around the world, and thanks to Dongfeng's four Oscar nominations for "Resident Evil", it attracted many people to watch it in theaters. . The fiery action and strong visual impact will undoubtedly make movie fans hooked. Steve was originally a crazy Kung Fu fan. When Bruce Lee made Chinese Kung Fu famous all over the world, he became addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself. With extremely favorable financial conditions, he never misses a Kung Fu movie. "It's a pity that until Bruce Lee passed away suddenly, he never saw a Kung Fu movie that fascinated him deeply. He was disappointed but a little unwilling. He couldn't let it go, but in the midst of disappointment, he had to let it go. Until one day, he accidentally heard from a friend that a teenage director in Hong Kong had made a kung fu movie called "Ip Man", which was very good. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out What kind of good kung fu movie can a teenage director make? He didn't have high hopes, but he left the theater with the habit of not letting go of the wrong person. But he didn't expect that the movie "Ip Man" would immediately arouse his hidden passion for Kung Fu movies. He watched it ten times in a row, but he was still not satisfied. Kung Fu movie, this is Kung Fu movie! Because of this movie, he knew that there was a powerful teenage director in Hong Kong. When "Resident Evil" was promoted in the United States, he was looking forward to it. He wanted to know what kind of surprise he would get when Chinese kung fu and science fiction were combined. Surprise, "Resident Evil" really gave him a big surprise. What surprised him even more was that Zhang Yi, a teenage director, was actually a kung fu master himself. After "Resident Evil" was released, he was shot dead and was reported by countless media. Then Zhang Yi showed off his skills on the TV station, which immediately caused a sensation in the entire United States. Steve knew that he had fallen. Immediately, he spent a lot of money to get the video of Zhang Yi on the TV station and competing with that Muay Thai master. He doesn¡¯t even know how many times he has watched these two videos. The more he watched, the deeper his admiration for Zhang Yi became. There is no doubt that he has become Zhang Yi's most loyal fan in the United States. However, people like him are definitely no longer a minority in the United States. "The Myth" was released in North America, which undoubtedly gave fans like Steve another surprise. Chinese Kung Fu is not only about fists and feet, but also weapons. The killing charm of weapons is amazing. However, this film also made Steve somewhat regretful. Because this is just a movie directed by Zhang Yi, not a movie he stars in. He really wanted to see Zhang Yi show off his skills in the movie. I finally looked forward to the movie "The Ghosts of Man Ghosts" starred by Zhang Yan himself, and immediately ran to watch it, but it was a lot of hope. "The Endless Love between Humans and Ghosts" is indeed touching and a classic. But martial arts fans among Zhang Yi's fans like Steve can't help but feel regretful. Now in the sequel of "Resident Evil", Zhang Yi will show off his skills and fight against those zombies, those lickers, and that monster. Looking forward to it, looking forward to it! However, after watching it, I was hooked, and I was even more delighted with the force shown by Zhang Yi. But I didn't expect that there were only a few short scenes and it ended abruptly. After killing a group of zombies and splitting open the lickers, when the feeling was still lingering, Zhang Yi appeared to fight with the big monster. Looking forward to it, extremely looking forward to it! But just when the anticipation was reaching its peak, it suddenly came to an abrupt halt without even an explanation. This undoubtedly made Steve feel itchy. Swearing loudly! Steve, who has always been gentle, couldn't help but curse when he saw this. Needless to say, Steve was definitely not the only one scolding. Especially in Southeast Asia and other places, there are constant scoldings. Of course, the scolding was just a complaint. Unfulfilled complaints. However, some people speculate that the martial artist Zhang Yi guest-starred in is still alive and will definitely appear in subsequent films. The sequel to "Resident Evil" has achieved both good reputation and box office success. Although not unanimously praised, it was well received. Within a week of its release, the film took the top spot at the box office for the week in North America and Southeast Asia. ???????????????????? However, this is a thing for another time. After the film was released, Zhang Yi wanted to return to Hong Kong immediately, but was delayed due to matters at the Guoshu Building. The news that Zhang Yi and the Huo family are about to open a martial arts building in the United States has spread to the Chinese martial arts community in the United States. However, there are countless large cities in the United States, and many of them meet the requirements. There is a dispute in the Chinese American martial arts community about where to open a martial arts building. Zhu Hongzhi hopes that Zhang Yi will open a martial arts building in New York, but Huang Xinzhuang hopes that??Opened the Chinese Martial Arts Building in Los Angeles. Where exactly it is open, Zhang Yi is not sure to pay attention at this time. "Master Huang, Master Zhu, can you allow me to go back and discuss this matter with others?" Zhang Yi looked at Huang Xinzhuang and Zhu Hongzhi and said. "Mr. Zhang, I heard that your plan is to open martial arts buildings in every city in the world. Have you never thought about opening two martial arts buildings in the United States at once?" Huang Xinzhuang's apprentice Wang Zhe said. The last time Hongmen and the Mafia had a boxing bet, Wang Zhe won the game with a lose-lose style. Hongmen took control of the black boxing market, and his status in Hongmen also randomly increased. However, he still had no qualifications to sit in front of Huang Xinzhuang. However, there is nothing wrong with speaking up. When everyone heard what he said, their eyes suddenly lit up. With the financial resources of Zhang Yi and the Huo family, it is not impossible to open martial arts buildings in New York and Los Angeles at the same time. Zhang Yi smiled and did not return immediately. How could things be as simple as starting things together? "It's not impossible to open them together. But which Guoshu building will take the lead?" Zhang Yi shook his head and said, "Since Guoshu buildings are to be opened in every city in the world, then any country or region will have a headquarters. Only in this way can it be better The management of the Guoshu Building in Taiwan is naturally the one opened in Taipei not long ago. It will also be the largest Guoshu Building in Taiwan in the future. It will naturally be led by the one in Taipei. Radiation all around." Wang Zhe didn't say anything after hearing this. Although he controls the black boxing market in Los Angeles, his business philosophy is completely different from that of the martial arts building. He also heard the meaning in Zhang Yi's words. The Guoshu Building that was built first would later become the headquarters of the American Guoshu Building. "Lin Xiao, do you think it is better to open the Guoshu Building in Los Angeles or New York?" Zhang Yi asked Lin Xiao with a smile after seeing off Huang Xinzhuang and others. "Los Angeles!" Lin Xiao thought for a while and then said. "Why?" Zhang Yi asked. "Because there is Hollywood in Los Angeles!" Lin Xiao said immediately. "Haha, I don't have much appeal in Hollywood!" Zhang Yi smiled and said. ¡°He really doesn¡¯t have much appeal in Hollywood right now. The opening of the Hong Kong Guoshu Building can attract celebrities from the Hong Kong film and television industry. Apparently not in Hollywood. Zhang Yi doesn¡¯t even recognize those celebrities, let alone have any friendship with them. ¡°Boss, do you prefer New York?¡± Lin Xiao asked curiously. "Let's take a look first and then talk about it. Let someone investigate first and make an analysis of the pros and cons." Zhang Yi shook his head and said immediately. ¡°Get ready, let¡¯s go back to Hong Kong.¡± Zhang Yi said immediately. Zhang Yi¡¯s film ¡°The Last Love¡± has been nominated for four Oscars. The news has spread to Southeast Asia and caused a huge sensation. Zhang Yi, who has only won some marginal awards at the Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards, has now been nominated for four Oscars. There is also a heavyweight award: Best Picture. Being nominated for an Oscar is undoubtedly a great honor for filmmakers. Especially for Chinese filmmakers. How many great directors have competed for Oscars, but all failed. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi, a young man in his twenties, could do it. No, to be precise it should be nineteen! Because when filming this movie, Zhang Yi was not yet twenty. Regardless of whether Zhang Yi wins the award in the end, he is already ahead of others, and his achievements in movies have been beyond the reach of countless filmmakers. pride! Zhang Yi is definitely the pride of Hong Kong and the pride of the Chinese people! After the Hong Kong media got the news, they reported it as if they were given a shot of chicken blood, almost exaggerating and making Zhang Yi a national hero. Unfortunately, Zhang Yi is now in the United States and cannot be interviewed at all. The unwilling media directly sent people to guard the airport 24 hours a day, vowing to get first-hand interview information. And this really surprised Zhang Yi. He was originally extremely low-key, but he didn't expect to be blocked by the media as soon as he got off the plane. (To be continued.)
