Chapter 354: What kind of movie should he work with? Zhang Yi¡¯s calm words had a huge impact on everyone¡¯s hearts. yes! This film is a purely American film and reflects the American spirit. Although it was directed by a Chinese screenwriter, after all, the film was about American things, not Chinese things. "Make American movies, make American money, and win American awards!" Wang Jing suddenly thought of a sentence, and then said, "I heard that your film has already grossed more than 200 million US dollars at the box office in the United States. In other countries, The cumulative box office in the region is nearly 300 million. As soon as the Oscar nomination list comes out, it is estimated that the box office will pick up again immediately. Ayi, you are already a sure thing. Be content. " This film only had an investment of over RMB 70 million, and it has grossed US$600 million at the global box office. Excluding theater shares and other expenses, it is definitely a movie that makes a lot of money. ??Moreover, it was nominated for 13 Oscars. Make American movies, make American money, and win American awards. Before the filming of this movie started, such a sentence was circulated. Although many people did not know the origin of this sentence, people like Hong Jinbao and Wang Jing still knew it. These words came from Zhang Yi. Thinking of this, everyone looked at Zhang Yi in surprise. This guy is amazing. At first, I thought it was Zhang Yi's casual joke, but now it seems that Zhang Yi has already made up his mind. It¡¯s so ridiculous that it doesn¡¯t make sense! Are American movies really that easy to make? Is it really that easy to make money in the United States? It¡¯s even harder to win an American award! As soon as the box office and nomination list of "Forrest Gump" came out, it immediately caused a great sensation. Those media who said that this film will be Zhang Yi's "Waterloo" suddenly got a taste of what Southeast Asian media was like. That slap in the face was really loud! Thirteen nominations for a movie can fully illustrate the excellence of the film. Moreover, this film has a high reputation for winning awards. As soon as the nomination list came out, not only the Western media were in an uproar, but the Eastern media were even more shocked. Especially in Southeast Asia and other places, it can be said that there has been a craze. Various media outlets even publicized it. And this year¡¯s Oscars have also attracted much attention. There¡¯s a lot of commotion outside. As for the protagonist Zhang Yi. But as usual, he didn't show up in front of the media at all. He is so low-key that some people and gods are outraged. Countless media outlets camped outside Zhang Yi¡¯s villa, but they were unable to capture Zhang Yi¡¯s whereabouts, let alone conduct interviews with Zhang Yi. Regarding this matter, Zhang Yi even rejected Mingpao and Shao Daheng's personal invitation. Zhang Yi did not respond at all to the fact that his film was nominated for 13 Oscars. It's as if this never happened. The media was helpless, especially those who came from other places, and they were even more depressed. However, they have become accustomed to Zhang Yi's style. If it had been any other director, his tail would have been raised to the sky if he appeared frequently in front of the media. and. This is indeed something to be proud of. No matter how many awards Zhang Yi wins, she will definitely break many Oscar records. Who knows that he is only twenty-three years old now. At this age, once you win an award, you will break the record. Of course, if it wins the Best Adapted Screenplay award, it won't be a breakthrough. after all. He had already broken it before. After Zhang Yi finished writing the script for the sequel to "The Mummy", he revised it until he was satisfied with it. It was already the end of February. And "Forrest Gump" has been completely finished, and the global cumulative box office is much higher than the original version, reaching nearly 700 million US dollars. This is a classic film that has achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success. There is no doubt that Zhang Yi has left a strong mark on the history of world cinema. "The Mummy" sequel will be cooperating with Lucas, but Zhang Yi is not satisfied. He also wants to bring Spielberg over. After the script for the sequel to Xie An's "The Mummy". Zhang Yi has been thinking about a question, which movie should Spielberg collaborate with? The first thing that comes to mind is "Artificial Intelligence" written and directed by Spielberg. This film can be described as a futuristic science fiction epic film, but unfortunately the story of this film comes from a friend of Spielberg, and someone had already had the idea of ??filming such a film in the early 1970s. ?? Zhang Yi would inevitably have a crash when writing this script at this time. Spielberg has many classic films, except for "Artificial Intelligence" that has not yet been filmed. I'm afraid it will be the two movies about the second station, "Saving Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List." "Schindler's List" is adapted from a novel based on real history, and this movie has long been releasedIt has been in the hands of Spielberg for 2019, but he has always felt that he cannot make the best film for this film, so he has been putting it off. Someone asked him when he took the photo. His answer was: Ten years later! "Saving Private Ryan" was a movie released in 1998, and won Spielberg another Academy Award. This film is also one of the classic American war movies. Especially the description of the Normandy landing is extremely grand. This is also one of Zhang Yi's preferences. Whenever I think of this film, Zhang Yi remembers the grand war scenes, the bloody Normandy landing, and here Spielberg used documentary techniques to show the bloody battlefield, which is shocking. In particular, it shows the relationship between people and the expression of human nature in war. Many people commented that this is the best war movie in film history. And Zhang Yi thinks so too. The American Motion Picture Association directly designated it as "a film that extremely exaggerates war violence." However, many second-station bosses gave it high praise, calling it "the most realistic film reflecting World War II." And this film also shined at the Oscars, and the box office was also extremely amazing. Thinking of this, Zhang Yi wrote it out without hesitation. Moreover, I also wrote some of my own ideas into the script. Because the script of this film has the original film as a reference, Zhang Yi does not need to think too much at all, and it is naturally much faster to write. By mid-March, the script for the film had been completed. ¡°After the script of this film was written, Zhang Yi had to get on a plane to the United States. The 62nd Academy Awards ceremony will be held in a few days. Zhang Yi¡¯s film has been nominated for 13 awards, so he is naturally embarrassed to be absent. He knew he would create a miracle this time. I think "Forrest Gump" won six awards when it met the powerful "Shawshank Redemption". As for the other nominated films in the 62nd session, Zhang Yi has no impression at all. Zhang Yi had never heard of films such as Best Picture winner "Driving Miss Daisy" and Best Actor winner "My Left Foot/No Regrets." Of course, this is not to say that these films are not excellent, but compared with the film "Forrest Gump", they are much worse. "Forrest Gump" has become a big hit this time, and it is not without reason. According to many people's speculation, Zhang Yi's "Forrest Gump" will sweep this year's Oscars, and sweep it even harder than the previous one's "Shawshank Redemption." Zhang Yi doesn¡¯t know how many awards his film can win, but it will definitely be no less, and there is no way he will return empty-handed. However, besides attending the Oscars ceremony, the most important reason for going to the United States this time is the collaboration with Lucas and Spielberg. The collaboration with Lucas is basically set in stone. As for Spielberg, further discussions are needed. However, Zhang Yi believes that the script of "Saving Private Ryan" will definitely impress Spielberg. ¡°If we can allow Jiying Film Company and two major Hollywood directors to cooperate at the same time, it will undoubtedly have an immeasurable effect on the development of the film company. "He won't refuse!" Bali Diller said to Zhang Yi after reading the script of "Saving Private Ryan". "I think so too." Zhang Yi smiled and said. "I'm afraid the investment in this film is a bit high. Especially the scene after the resurrection of the terracotta warriors and horses and the battle with the undead requires a lot of special effects. Special effects are very expensive." Bali Diller took a look at the sequel to "The Mummy" and said: Zhang Yi said. "This can be done with the help of makeup and props, which can reduce a lot of costs. This time I want Jiying Special Effects and DreamWorks to work together to complete the special effects." Zhang Yi smiled and said. ¡°Do you want to communicate with the two special effects companies?¡± Bali Diller looked at Zhang Yi and asked. The special effects technology of Jiying Special Effects and DreamWorks are both at the top of the world, but they are good at different aspects. What Zhang Yi focused on was to learn from each other's strengths. Of course, this is also mutual.
