Chapter 349 "Forrest Gump" Released Using the topic of Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures, Zhang Yi's new film "Forrest Gump" was promoted to the extreme. Zhang Yi¡¯s new film is already highly anticipated. After all this effort, it is even more anticipated by movie fans, especially American fans. Looking forward to the film¡¯s early release. ¡°Where¡¯s that guy Cameron?¡± Zhang Yi suddenly asked. ¡°I heard that I went to Egypt for archeology.¡± Balidil smiled and said. Zhang Yi's mouth twitched, then he shook his head and said, "This guy." "You don't want to make "Titanic", do you?" Bali Diller looked at Zhang Yi in surprise and asked. "It's not suitable to shoot now. The special effects technology can be improved, which can save a lot of costs." Zhang Yi said immediately, "I just asked out of curiosity." "You don't have any other ideas, do you? ?" Balidile looked at Zhang Yi and asked suddenly. He knew that his boss was pretty good at making up stories. When he asked Cameron about it for no reason, he probably had some story in mind that he wanted to make into a movie. "What ideas can I have?" Zhang Yi smiled and asked. "What type of movie are you planning to make for your next movie?" Balidile asked. "I haven't thought about it, maybe I won't make a movie within a year or two. After "Forrest Gump" is released, I will go back to Hong Kong. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with there." Zhang Yi shook his head and said immediately. Balidile looked at Zhang Yi and then said: "Boss, it's not true that you will shift your energy from movies to music as the outside world said. Isn't it true?" "Music?" Zhang Yi was a little confused. Looking at Bali Diller, he smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that there is really a lot of noise outside. But it is not groundless. The record company I own has reached a bottleneck in Southeast Asia. I really want to push him. It won't take much effort to promote it internationally. As for switching from movies to music, it's hard to say. If there is a movie that I am interested in, I will make it." Bali Diller nodded. He knew the reason for Zhang Yi. After the release of "Forrest Gump", I rushed back to Hong Kong to attend a concert held by Rolling Death Records. December 24, 1989, Christmas Eve. It is also the premiere day of Zhang Yi's new film "Forrest Gump". This movie has made a lot of noise, and the popularity and expectations are extremely high. Naturally, it won't be released quietly. During the premiere, Jiying Film Company invited many Hollywood filmmakers and film company executives. Of course, the senior executives of Columbia Pictures were also invited. However, the invitation is an invitation, it doesn¡¯t matter whether you come or not. It's another story. "Mr. Zhang, we meet again." A voice said to Zhang Yi with a smile. Zhang Yi looked back and smiled: "So it's Mr. Spielberg. Is this Mr. Lucas?" "Haha, look at me. I almost forgot to introduce you." Spielberg smiled. laugh. Said, "He is Lucas." "Hello." "Hello!" Zhang Yi shook hands with Lucas. "I'm looking forward to Mr. Zhang's transformational work," Lucas said. "Transformation?" When Zhang Yi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he understood, looked at Lucas and smiled, "I don't think he will disappoint Mr. Lucas." "Haha, Mr. Zhang's directing ability is natural. There is no doubt about it." Lucas said with a smile, "I have seen many of your works, especially "The Myth" that you shot. I am very curious about the mysterious China and even want to go to China. Look, let¡¯s make an adventure film about China!¡± ¡°Oh, really?¡± Zhang Yi suddenly became interested and looked at Lucas, then invited him, ¡°If Mr. Lucas really has this plan. , let's work together." "How to cooperate?" Lucas seemed to be interested. "I will provide the script and funds. How about Mr. Lucas's direction?" Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes and said with a smile. "I'm looking forward to your script!" Lucas smiled and said. ¡°He is looking forward to Zhang Yi¡¯s script, so it¡¯s certainly not a lie. Zhang Yi's current scripts can be said to be the most expensive among Hollywood screenwriters. However, it is priceless and unmarketable. With the exception of Jiying Film Company, no other film company in Hollywood has ever obtained Zhang Yi¡¯s script. Zhang Yi¡¯s scripts are really expected, especially since every script he writes makes a lot of money. This is definitely an irresistible temptation for a film company. Zhang Yi naturally heard itThe meaning behind Lucas' words. He didn't refuse or agree, but wanted to read Zhang Yi's script. Not long after Spielberg and Lucas entered the theater, Bali Diller seemed to have heard the news, and then came over and asked: "I heard that you plan to collaborate with Lucas on a film?" "He seemed to want to "I am undoubtedly the best candidate to write an adventure film about China," Zhang Yi said with a smile. "The copyright of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is not in his hands." Balidile thought for a while and then said. "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is an adventure film co-produced by Spielberg and Lucas. Lucas wanted to make an adventure film about China, and Bali Diller naturally thought of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and thought he would invite Zhang Yi to write a sequel to "Raiders of the Lost Ark". "Why make a sequel to "Raiders of the Lost Ark"? Why not make a sequel to "The Mummy"? The copyright of "The Mummy" is in our hands." Zhang Yi said. "Are there mummies in China?" Balidile asked doubtfully. ¡°There are no mummies in China, but there are terracotta warriors and horses!¡± Zhang Yi smiled and said. The third part of "The Mummy" in the previous life is a story about China, but the screenwriter of that story is obviously a person who has no understanding of Chinese culture, and the script he wrote is extremely deceptive. And some scenes are leftovers from the second film. The film's reputation was extremely poor, and it didn't do much at the box office. Zhang Yi wrote it himself, so naturally he would not make such a low-level mistake. Moreover, he already has some ideas in mind, especially for big scenes. What will it be like when the terracotta warriors and horses are resurrected and fight against the undead. And this story does not revolve around Qin Shihuang, but another extremely famous figure in the Qin Dynasty: Bai Qi, the God of Death! And the thing is naturally the battle of Changping. Bai Qi led the troops to attack Zhao, and killed 400,000 surrendered soldiers. His resentment was soaring, and he turned into an undead after his death, causing all life around Changping to be devastated and the land was covered with red land for thousands of miles. In order to calm the matter, Emperor Qin used Bai Qi's warriors who had fought hundreds of battles and used ancient secret techniques to build servants, and used their murderous aura to suppress the undead. The key to this was Bai Qi's sword, the Killing Sword. The Killing God Sword can not only resurrect those pottery figurines, but can also command them. This is naturally the origin of the story, and the development of the story is naturally much earlier than the third part of "The Mummy". It took place at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, when warlords were fighting. An ambitious warlord wants to resurrect the pottery figurines and use their power to unify the world amidst the melee of warlords. And our protagonist also got involved because he went to China for archeology and tourism. Of course, the story is not that simple. There is still a lot to be done to improve these, and Zhang Yi will also use this to better promote his movie theater to the world. When Balidile heard this, he naturally understood and didn¡¯t say much. I still have great confidence in Zhang Yi¡¯s screenwriting ability. However, I don¡¯t know how long this film will be delayed. "Is someone from Columbia Pictures here?" Balidile looked outside, and then whispered to Zhang Yi. "Well! There are old acquaintances here too!" Zhang Yi looked over and saw one of them, then smiled. That person is naturally Sony¡¯s boss Akio Morita. There were two Japanese and one Westerner who came with him. I think he is the current senior executive of Columbia Pictures. "Mr. Morita Akio, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still have the same style!" Zhang Yi said with a smile to the approaching Morita Akio and others. "Haha, Mr. Zhang is even better than before. Not only is he a major influence in the world of film and martial arts, but he is also overcoming obstacles in the business world. The speed of development is amazing." Akio Morita also said to Zhang Yi with a smile. Zhang Yi seemed to enjoy the polite words and hypocritical smile, and said to Akio Morita: "Young people, you must have some energy."
