    Chapter 399: The Chinese at the Oscars (Part 1) Zhang Yi and He Gambling have no close friendship. They sent invitations to the wedding just out of politeness.  After all, Hong Kong and Macau are not far away.  King Ho's status in Macau is so high that it would be inappropriate not to invite him.  Of course, invitation is one thing, whether you come or not is another.  It¡¯s just that Zhang Yi didn¡¯t expect that King He Du would come in person.  King He Gambling is undoubtedly a legendary figure, but of course there is still a gap between his legend and today's Zhang Yi.  Before Zhang Yi had time to look for him, he took the opportunity to come to the door. Zhang Yi could also guess the purpose of his coming.  I want to come here and find him for the same purpose.  "Thank you Mr. He for coming to my Zhang Yi's wedding. Please forgive me for any slightness!" Zhang Yi said with a smile when he saw King He Du.  King He Gambling is not young, but he is full of energy.  When he saw Zhang Yi come in, he didn't ask for help. Instead, he stood up, smiled and said to Zhang Yi, "Where! Where! If Mr. Zhang invites me to someone else, he thinks highly of me. How could I not come?"  I have something to do with Mr. Zhang, but I am afraid that it will affect Mr. Zhang¡¯s wedding, so I plan to visit him again later. ¡°Haha, Mr. He is polite. Although Xiao Min and I are newlyweds, we are still an old couple after being together for more than ten years.  Mr. He has something to do with me. How about we talk about it now? " "I'm looking for Mr. Zhang just for one thing?" said King He Du.  "Oh? What is it?" Zhang Yi smiled and said.  "That small aircraft carrier that Mr. Zhang bought in Russia! Although the military equipment inside has been dismantled, the hull is huge." King He Du looked at Zhang Yi.  He said, "I heard that Mr. Zhang bought him to make a movie?" "Indeed!" Zhang Yi nodded and said immediately.  "Mr. Zhang, have you ever thought about what you plan to do with the ship after filming the movie? It can't be used as a decoration, and it can't be converted into a passenger or cargo ship, right?" He Duwang said immediately.  "Haha, what suggestions does Mr. He have?" Zhang Yi said with a smile.  Sure enough, I came here for this matter.  "Instead of leaving it empty after filming the movie, why don't you and I work together to convert it into a gambling boat. I believe that with the hull of the small aircraft carrier and the gimmicks, it will definitely be able to build the largest and most luxurious casino in the world." He Gambling King said with a smile.  .  He couldn't see anything from Zhang Yi's face, but he was sure that Zhang Yi would not refuse.  "This matter can be discussed!" Zhang Yi smiled and said.  "How about we leave the details to the people below?" He Duwang smiled and said, "I wonder when the filming of your movie will start and when it will be completed?" "The ship is still being refitted, and I don't know the specific process.  . And I¡¯m not sure when the movie will start shooting or when it will be completed. I guess it will take two or three years." Zhang Yi thought for a while and said.  "The days are long. There is no rush in this matter." King He Du smiled and said.  Confirmed the intention to cooperate.  The purpose of King He Du's trip has been achieved.  As for the details, neither he nor Zhang Yi needed to ask.  Because this matter is a win-win situation, the distribution of benefits no longer matters to the two of them.  The connection of interests is the most important thing.  Zhang Yi¡¯s influence in Hong Kong is unmatched, and King Ho¡¯s influence in Macau is the same.  If the interests of two people are connected, their influence will increase.  Of course, this is only one of the reasons. Another important reason is that boat gambling is really profitable.  Zhang Yi¡¯s wedding has become well-known in the world. Countless media have conducted exclusive interviews with celebrities who attended Zhang Yi¡¯s wedding, specifically talking about Zhang Yi¡¯s wedding.  This matter did not gradually subside until more than half a month later, after the Oscar nomination list came out.  For more than half a month, Zhang Yi has been on the island. Even after all the guests attending his wedding have left, he, Zhou Huimin and his family are all on the island, living a leisurely life.  And this time for Oscar nomination, Zhang Yi¡¯s "Inception" is naturally extremely dazzling.  Nominations include eight Oscar nominations including Best Director, Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects, Best Sound Editing, and Best Cinematography.  Of course, these are just nominations, and many awards are not popular, especially Best Picture and Best Director. However, the biggest competitor is also a film produced by Zhang Yi's Jiying Film Company-"Schindler"  "List"!  "Schindler's List" was nominated for twelve awards including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay.  There is no doubt that in this Oscar, no matter what the outcome is, Jiying Film Company is undoubtedly the biggest winner with these two films.winner.  "Schindler's List" can be said to have been promoted by Zhang Yi.  Moreover, it gave Spielberg a great help.  The film company that originally rejected this film already regretted it after "Schindler's List" came out and the global box office reached more than 300 million US dollars.  Who would have thought that this movie, which is not a commercial film, could reach such a high box office.  Who would have thought?  Of course it¡¯s Zhang Yi.  As soon as the film hit the box office, everyone was impressed by Zhang Yi's grasp of the market.  Now, "Schindler's List" has been nominated for twelve Oscars, which directly caused the film company's executives to be furious. They refused to let Spielberg leave to find the Jiying Film Company executives, which directly made him a jerk.  Although Hollywood pays attention to business, it does not mean that any film company does not value awards.  Box office and awards are indispensable for a film company.  Zhang Yi's "Inception" received eight Oscar nominations, which is more shocking than the original Oscar nomination for "Forrest Gump", especially for the Chinese.  Because the main creators of this movie, from the front to the backstage, are all Chinese.  This is a real Chinese movie.  The best proof is that "Inception" is among the Oscar nominees for Best Foreign Language Film!  This film is undoubtedly the most dazzling discourse film.  Whether it's at the box office or in terms of awards.  Of course, "Jurassic Park" also won several Oscars, but the director was Chinese and the starring role was Chinese, but there were many more Western actors than Chinese actors.  It can¡¯t be said to be a Chinese-language movie at all.  What's more, the real protagonist in it is the dinosaur.  But "Inception" is different.  The sixty-sixth Academy Awards of 1994 were held on March 21 at the Los Angeles Music Center.  And Zhang Yi didn¡¯t return to Hong Kong until mid-March.  This time at the Oscars, Zhang Yi knew how important the award was for "Schindler's List" and "Inception", so it was probably unlikely.  But he still felt like participating.  Not only will he participate, but he will also bring the creators of "Inception" to participate.  He wants to bring Chinese filmmakers to the Oscars red carpet.
