    Chapter 324: Xu Ke is a talented person. Hong Kong movies are too small.  Many Hong Kong filmmakers have already realized this, and Lin Jianyue certainly knows it.  But he also knows that not everyone can achieve the huge appeal Zhang Yi¡¯s films have in the European and American markets.  Therefore, he set his sights on the mainland.  Moreover, several of Zhang Yi¡¯s movies released in mainland China, whether they are the previous "Ip Man" and "Myth", or the current "Jurassic Park" and "Fighter", all have a box office of more than 100 million in the mainland.  Moreover, ticket prices in mainland China are now much lower than elsewhere.  ??The ticket price is so much lower, it can still reach 100 million.  Then, the potential of the mainland market is naturally terrifying.  However, as Zhang Yi said, it can be said that mainland China¡¯s review of movies has reached a harsh level.  Generally speaking, if a film wants to be released in mainland China, in addition to the film itself, it must also have connections.  Zhang Yi¡¯s connections in mainland China go all the way to the central government, but only a few of his many films have been released in mainland China, which shows how difficult it is for movies to be released in mainland China.  "What good suggestions does Mr. Zhang have?" Lin Jianyue asked immediately.  "Cooperate with mainland film companies!" Zhang Yi said lightly.  Lin Jianyue nodded after hearing this.  He knows in his heart that Zhang Yi is already ahead of everyone in the mainland film market.  Let's not talk about Zhang Yi's relationship with mainland film companies. It can be seen from the fact that he invested hundreds of millions to build movie theaters in mainland China a few years ago.  Although Xu Ke's version of "Zhu Xian" is adapted from Zhang Yi's novel, it has little to do with Zhang Yi after all.  There were many celebrities who came to show their support, but when the film with Zhang Yi was released, the stars still seemed much dim.  There are not two heavyweights.  However, it is much better than other films released. After all, with an investment of 50 million, it is still considered a blockbuster in Hong Kong today.  There are only two film companies in Hong Kong that can invest 50 million yuan.  "The novel "Zhu Xian" is too long and it is obviously impossible to adapt it into a film.  Xu Ke's film ends with Baguio dying after saving Zhang Xiaofan, and there is more than a minute of follow-up footage, leaving the entire film suspenseful.  This kind of cutting has obviously been used by many film directors since Zhang Yi's "Resident Evil".  This is almost always the case for films that have the potential for sequels.  The person who plays Zhang Xiaofan is Liang Jiahui, who was born as an actor.  Zhang Yi naturally had no objections to this actor. He believed that given the changes in Zhang Xiaofan's character and Liang Jiahui's acting skills, he would be able to handle it well.  Baguio¡¯s character Ben Xu Ke was interested in Zhou Huimin, but was blocked by Zhang Yi.  Later, I chose Li Suzhen, who will definitely take the third-level route in the future.  Of course, at this time, she still showed her pure appearance on the screen.  I just don¡¯t know if, after this "blockbuster", she will go to the third level and be exposed.  Female stars in the entertainment industry go to the third level, largely for the sake of popularity.  Hong, for those who work in the entertainment industry, the temptation is too great.  If you are not red, you are dead.  Of course, there are also people who become popular and say: If you become popular, life will be worse than death. ???????????????????? But these words are no deterrent to those who are not red.  Besides, it is better to die than live.  Li Suzhen seemed to regard this film as an opportunity to become famous, and she spent a lot of effort to bring the role of Baguio to life.  Of course, maybe this has something to do with the training of director Xu Ke.  As for the other heroine, Lu Xueqi, what Zhang Yi didn¡¯t expect was that Xu Ke actually found Lin Qingxia.  Needless to say, Lin Qingxia's acting skills, but it always gave Zhang Yi an awkward feeling.  Maybe Lin Qingxia's Dongfang Bumo impressed Zhang Yi too deeply.  At this time, he asked Lin Qingxia to play Mulan, with preconceptions.  The story is very compact, and in addition to the special effects and fighting, it also has something new and shocking that is different from those previous films.  The background scenery inside was taken by Xu Ke in the mainland, although it is not as beautiful as Zhang Yi believed, like a fairyland.  But it's still not satisfactory.  After all, today's audiences have not yet been exposed to the scenery in "Avatar."  In "Zhu Xian", the audience naturally feels a fairyland-like vision.  The only thing that makes Zhang Yi feel inadequate is naturally the visual aspect that Zhang Yi has always been passionate about.  Especially when the Zhuxian Sword Formation was activated at the end, although it was shocking, it still did not achieve the effect that Zhang Yi had in mind.  However, no matter what, in the late 1980s, being able to do this can already be called a classic.  Zhang Yi knows that this film cannot be judged from his own perspective in the 21st century.  "Mr. Zhang, what do you think of this film?" After the film ended, Lin Jianyue heard the overwhelming applause in the theater and asked Zhang Yi with a smile.  Zhang Yi¡¯s faceAs usual, there was no change, which made Xu Ke on the side a little uneasy.  If this film does not receive Zhang Yi's approval, it will not only affect the film's box office, but it will inevitably have some impact on his future development.  "Very good!" Zhang Yi smiled and said.  Lin Jianyue frowned slightly, and he naturally heard a trace of politeness in Zhang Yi's words.  There is obviously something about this film that dissatisfied Zhang Yi.  He intentionally looked at Xu Ke, but Xu Ke looked at Zhang Yi with a questioning look on his face.  "For 50 million Hong Kong dollars, it is the ultimate to be able to produce this kind of effect. I have to say that this film is a classic." Zhang Yi glanced at the two of them and continued.  When Lin Jianyue heard this, he smiled and said, "I wonder what Mr. Zhang thinks of the box office of this film?" Lin Jianyue was naturally satisfied with the film's excellence.  However, what he is most concerned about is whether this film, with such a large investment, can recoup its costs in Southeast Asia.  He wanted to release it in the mainland, but now it's obviously impossible due to the mainland's censorship.  In Europe and the United States, it is inevitable that there will be some acclimatization, and the only place we rely heavily on is the Southeast Asian market.  "Haha. You can tell by looking at the expressions of the audience." Zhang Yi smiled and then looked into the theater. There were many people who had not left the theater and were talking excitedly.  Lin Jianyue smiled and didn't ask any more questions.  Although after watching the film, he felt a little more confident about this film, he still had no idea.  ?Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Zhang Yi's answer.  But he couldn't show it.  This film, because of its weak visual effects, may not be successful in the European and American markets.  After all, due to the cultural differences between East and West, Western audiences may not be able to understand the storyline of this purely oriental film.  If you can't catch their attention with visual effects, it's hard to make a difference.  However, there is still no problem in recovering costs in Southeast Asia.  For Media Asia, recovering costs is victory.  After all, this film's reputation won't be too bad.  At least it will increase the company's visibility.  "Xu Ke is a talented person, please try to win over him more." Lin Baixin and Lin Jianyue said.  After listening to his father's words, Lin Jianyue said: "This film is really good. But from Zhang Yi's expression, it seems that the box office of this film will not be too high." "Since he said this film is  It's a classic. The reputation will not be bad. This is a victory for the company. At least the company's reputation will be spread with the film's reputation, and it will also let people in the film industry know the strength of the company.  If you can invest in a blockbuster film, Media Asia can do the same. Besides, Zhang Yi never thought that this film would lose money from the beginning. It just won't make any money. It is much better than the "Swordsman of Shushan" that Golden Harvest invested in.  Lin Baixin said with a smile.  "If he doesn't lose money, then why doesn't he invest? And if he can't make money, why did dad support Xu Ke in making the film?" Lin Jianyue asked with some confusion.  "Haha, you see, the movie Zhang Yi invested in didn't make a lot of money! It's just to recover the cost, so why did he invest? After all, he doesn't have a film company in Hong Kong. But Media Asia is different. It needs a movie to build its reputation, even if it loses money  It doesn¡¯t matter if you pay for it. And Zhang Yi is so famous, does he need this film to make his name?" Lin Baixin said with a smile.  ¡°I heard that Zhang Yi is planning to cooperate with Xu Ke again!¡± Lin Jianyue said.  "So Ke Xu is a talented person, and we need to win over him more. Zhang Yi has a very sharp vision. Whether it is his grasp of the market or his exploration of talents, no one in Hong Kong can match him." Lin Baixin said, with a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.  .  As for Zhang Yi, no matter what class you are in Hong Kong, you may be able to find people who don¡¯t like him, but you will definitely not find people who don¡¯t admire him.  At the age of twenty-two, how could one not be impressed by such an achievement?  (To be continued.)
