Chapter 337 Zhang Yi¡¯s new film Zhang Yi will not direct the sequel to "Ip Man". This is also expected by Hong Jinbao and others. After all, Zhang Yi is becoming less and less interested in movie sequels. There are even rumors that Zhang Yi has no plans to direct the sequel to "Jurassic Park". "Resident Evil" sequel, if it weren't for Shao Daheng, Zhang Yi probably wouldn't have filmed it. However, we have to admit that the sequel to "Resident Evil" is the most successful among many movie sequels. Although the third part of "Resident Evil" directed by Lan Naicai has achieved good results at the box office and word of mouth, it has to be said that it is not as classic as the first two parts. "I want to use the original team, but Miss Zhao is afraid that you will have to come forward!" Hong Jinbao looked at Zhang Yi and said immediately. Ms. Zhao is naturally Zhao Yazhi who plays Ip Man¡¯s wife Zhang Yongcheng. "I heard that she made a comeback last year and filmed a TV series called "Beijing Smoke and Clouds". It should be no problem for Brother Sanmao to come forward." Zhang Yi looked at Hong Jinbao and said immediately. "I have actually tried it out. She was a little hesitant. The TV series filmed last year had some other reasons. She has not officially come back yet." Hong Jinbao said immediately, "If she is not included in the sequel of "Ip Man", it will inevitably be a little bit It¡¯s a pity. Her role as Zhang Yongcheng is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ¡°Then I¡¯ll give it a try. Ms. Zhao definitely refused my invitation to play ¡°Myth¡± at first. Point said immediately. ¡°As Hong Jinbao said, Zhang Yongcheng played by Zhao Yazhi is indeed a classic and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If the actors were changed in the sequel, there would inevitably be some shortcomings. Although Zhang Yi is not filming this movie, and even whether to invest in it or not depends on the situation, he is just looking at the face of Hong Jinbao and others. It's also worthy of his presence. Actually, Zhang Yi didn¡¯t know that Zhao Yazhi had some scruples about coming back just because he rejected Zhang Yi¡¯s invitation. That¡¯s why I went to Taiwan to develop my career and took on the role of ¡°Beijing¡±. Zhang Yi cooperated with Debao Film Company to shoot the sequel of "Ip Man", and the original cast starred in it. The only regret is that Zhang Yi did not direct this film. but. Zhang Yi participated in the creation of this film. "The sequel to "Ip Man" tells the story of Wing Chun master Ip Man after he came to Hong Kong. This is undoubtedly good news for Hong Kong locals. However, there is no question as to whether Bruce Lee will appear as a child in this film. You have to know. Zhang Yi is in Hong Kong. Continuous action, screenwriting, and investment in several movies. But there has never been news of his own new film. What to shoot? Zhang Yi didn't think about it for a while. Zhang Yi really wanted to shoot "Prehistoric", but unfortunately the special effects technology has not yet reached the ideal effect. Shooting it is just a waste of things. As for the others, I either had no interest in them, but those who were interested still had to put them on hold because the special effects technology was not up to par. For example: "Inception"! The visual shock shown in "Inception" and today's special effects technology. Of course it still can't be done. In particular, dream collapse requires extremely high special effects requirements. After all, you can't actually build those buildings that appeared in the dream to the seaside and then blow them up. Being used to being a shopkeeper, Zhang Yi suddenly stopped making movies, and Zhang Yi became more relaxed. "Why don't you really attend this year's Oscars? Are you nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award again this time?" Zhou Huimin said to Zhang Yi with a smile. The shortlisted film is naturally "The Shawshank Redemption" that was previously given to Bali Diller. This film was not only nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, but also won Best Cinematography, Best Sound, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, etc. The original version met "Forrest Gump". Both films were equally good. Unfortunately, "Forrest Gump" had advantages in other aspects, which ultimately led to the defeat of "Shawshank Redemption". This time, because of Zhang Yi¡¯s appearance, it was released a few years earlier, so I don¡¯t know how many awards it will win. What¡¯s more, there seems to be no film that can compete with it at the 61st Oscars. "Forget it! You know I'm not interested in any awards." Zhang Yi waved his hand and said. Although "The Shawshank Redemption" is not very good at the box office, it is now nominated for so many Oscar awards, which can be regarded as giving Jiying Film Company a chance to shine. However, as the boss, Zhang Yi has no interest in participating. Thinking of "Shawshank Redemption", Zhang Yi recalled "Forrest Gump" that defeated it in the first place. This movie seems to have swept away not only its opponents at the Oscars, but also at the box office. The North American box office alone is over 300 million US dollars, and the overseas box office is also over 300 million US dollars. And its production cost is only more than 50 million yuan. "Shoot it! "Zhang Yi thought of this and suddenly laughed. "Shoot it? What to shoot? "Zhou Huimin looked at Zhang Yi doubtfully and asked. "I know what movie I want to make. Zhang Yi smiled and then said, "I want to make an American movie to make their money and win their awards." " "hehe. You can definitely do it. "When Zhou Huimin heard this, he was stunned at first, then smiled and said. "To make this movie, we must first get the copyright of this movie. "I don't know if this movie is still available or not. The author of the novel, Winston Grew, To obtain the copyright, Zhang Yi naturally did not need to go to the United States in person. He directly made an overseas phone call to Bali Diller, and then waited for news about the copyright of "Forrest Gump". Waiting, but waiting for an expected, but unexpected good news. "The Shawshank Redemption" is a sad classic movie, without the sniper of the awesome movie "Forrest Gump". Next, it shined at the 61st Oscars, winning seven awards including Best Director, Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Sound, Best Cinematography, and Best Adapted Screenplay. The biggest winner of this year¡¯s Oscars. As soon as this happened, it immediately caused a sensation. Zhang Yi once again became the focus of the media. Although it was still because of the screenwriting, the Oscar winner was the Oscar winner. What¡¯s more, that film was produced by Zhang Yi¡¯s film company. Zhang Yi did not participate in this Oscar, but his participation in this Oscar left a legacy. ¡°Boss, congratulations! Balidile's excited and joyful voice came from the phone. However, on the other end of the phone, Zhang Yi looked very calm and said: "It's just the same joy. What happened to what I told you last time? " "The copyright of "Forrest Gump"? " Balidile said. "Yes! "Zhang Yi said. "The copyright is still in the hands of Winston Glum. He was a little hesitant at first, but as soon as Oscar was over, he immediately agreed. Boss, you adapted Stephen King's novel and won seven Oscars. I'm afraid you couldn't find a better candidate. Balidile said immediately. "Really won?" "Zhang Yi's tone showed a hint of emotion at this time. Bali Diller on the other side of the phone naturally heard the emotional changes in Zhang Yi's words. He was suddenly confused and vaguely guessed something. "The Shawshank Redemption" won With seven Oscars, his boss was not surprised at all. Even if he knew in advance which awards the film had won, he would not be so calm at this time. The only explanation for the change in mood is this "Forrest Gump". "Biography" may be more powerful not only at the Oscars, but also at the box office. "Of course! Boss, have you written the script yet? Balidile asked immediately after hearing this. "It's written!" You can start making preparations. I will be arriving in the United States in a few days. My new film will be "Forrest Gump"! "Zhang Yi said calmly. His tone returned to calmness. "What, you shot this film yourself? Bali Diller was a little surprised when he heard this. He knew Zhang Yi well. This boss of his pursues visual shock when making movies, and most of them do not aim at box office. As for any awards, they are just a cloud in his opinion. , there is no real box office. He actually wants to film "Forrest Gump" himself! Bali Diller has read the novel "Forrest Gump". In his opinion, Zhang Yi is not suitable for filming this film. . He, like others, believes that Zhang Yi is perfectly capable of handling commercial films, but he has some doubts about making such a film that is more about art than business.
