Chapter [-] I Know Why Zhang Yi Didn't Make "Zhu Xian"

Zhang Yi can indeed be called a great international director now, but there are usually two more words in front of the great director: business!

Great business director!

No one denied Zhang Yi's identity.

Zhang Yi is not very old now, but his total box office revenue is definitely among the best in the world, and no director can even compare with him.Lucas couldn't, and neither could Spielberg.

"Boxer" and "Ghost Story" alone have grossed over a billion dollars worldwide.Coupled with the "Resident Evil" series, "Mythology" and other films that are not weak at the box office, Zhang Yi is definitely the director with the most cumulative box office.

Moreover, no matter whether the investment was small or large, none of his films lost money, and almost all of them made a lot of money.Zhang Yi is well-deserved as a great commercial director.

Zhang Yi's speech at the Beijing Film Academy still achieved good results. Although some people did not agree with Zhang Yi's point of view, they had to admit that they could not find any reason to refute it.

As Zhang Yi said, you can't make movies without money.

The next day, Zhang Yi took Luo Shukai and others to bid farewell to Master Sun and others, and took the train to Xi'an.

Zhang Yi invested hundreds of millions to build a movie theater in Xi'an, and Xi'an Film Studio will undoubtedly benefit the most.

When Zhang Yi arrived in Xi'an, the director of Xi'an Film Studio greeted him in person, and even the governor and mayor of the province came to visit him in person.

Not to mention that Zhang Yi went to Beijing at this time and accepted the approach of the chief. These senior government officials knew about it through some channels.Even if there is no such relationship, Zhang Yi, as a big donor from Hong Kong, can invest some funds casually, which is not a small political achievement.

For Zhang Yi, the mainland people may not know much about it.I understand, perhaps through Zhang Yi's previous two films "Ip Man" and "Mythology", as well as the upcoming "Boxer".Regarding Zhang Yi's other matters.Still don't know much about it.

When senior government officials, especially Zhang Yi, invested hundreds of millions of dollars to build a movie theater in Xi'an, they naturally knew about it.In particular, Zhang Yi took out 20 billion US dollars to rescue the market some time ago, which shocked them the most.

A 21-year-old young man actually took out 20 billion US dollars, and it was just to save the market.

Everyone knows that the bailout money is likely to be wasted.If he dares to take out so much, then no one can guess how much his own net worth is.

count.The investment of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars was nothing more than a fraction to Zhang Yi, the financial backer.

Zhang Yi is also happy with this.Today's government officials are not as decent as those of later generations. Although they can't change their ambitions to make political achievements, they are not without integrity.At least, they invited Zhang Yi to invest without any other thoughts.He didn't even want to gain any benefits from Zhang Yi.

Now the mainland is reforming and opening up.It is the golden age of investment.The early bird pays attention. The investment environment at this time may not be as good as that of later generations, but the competition is smaller.The investment policy is also definitely more favorable.

Regarding the economic development of the mainland, Zhang Yi is naturally optimistic. The investment may not be as much as that of Hong Kong and the United States, but it is absolutely indispensable.

Although the cinema is not yet fully completed.But a lot of construction has been completed, there are also a lot of crews, and tourists who come to travel.

"Mr. Zhang, have you ever thought about it? After the studio is completed, a blockbuster movie will be shot. With the help of Mr. Zhang's international influence, the studio will be famous internationally and attract more crews and tourists." Xi The studio director said to Zhang Yi.

"What suggestion does Mr. Huang have?" Zhang Yi nodded and said immediately.

"Most of the cinemas are antique buildings, and the shooting of movies is naturally at the price of historical stories. China has thousands of years of history, and there are too many stories worth shooting. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties are all very worthy of shooting, and they can even be filmed into a series of stories." West The director of the studio said immediately.

"How did Mr. Huang rate the story of Hua Mulan?" Zhang Yi nodded and said immediately.

"Mulan!" Xiying Director was a little surprised, then nodded after thinking about it.Although he doesn't understand that there are so many heroes in Chinese history, why Mr. Zhang has a special liking for female heroes.I heard that many of Mr. Zhang's movies are heroine movies."Resident Evil" in particular has achieved considerable international success.

The reason why Zhang Yi loves female heroes is undoubtedly because female heroes attract more international attention.Moreover, he had watched "Mulan" starring Zhao Xiaoyanzi in his previous life, and he was very impressed.

Although Hua Mulan played by Zhao Xiaoyanzi is full of heroism, in Zhang Yi's mind, the best candidate to play Mulan is undoubtedly Lin Qingxia.It's a pity that Lin Qingxia was no longer young and had quit the entertainment industry.

But at this time, she is in her youth, the golden age of an actor, and I believe that starring her will have another flavor.

Of course, Zhang Yi is still somewhat dissatisfied with Zhao's version of "Mulan", which is the war scene.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi seems to be interested in shooting this film.However, if you want to shoot, you have to finish shooting "Jurassic Park" first.

If it is said that Zhang Yi filmed "Mulan" because of interest.When shooting "Jurassic Park", I am definitely not as interested in movies as I am in money.

"Jurassic Park" is said to be a bullshit movie that makes money.

Who can compete with "Titanic" if there is no third-level film about sinking a ship?

Zhang Yi felt that if he was reborn through time travel and still played movies, if he didn't put his own mark on those popular movies, he would not only be sorry for himself, but also for God.

After staying in Xi'an for a few days, Zhang Yi got up and went back to Hong Kong.

Bali Diller moved very quickly, and quickly got off a small island in the Maldives. At this time, construction has already begun and is ready to start.

Of course, the first thing to be built is the facilities needed for the background of the film, and the tourist facilities such as hotels are put behind.

Zhang Yi, who returned to Hong Kong, was not busy. Many of the preparations for "Jurassic Park" did not require him to appear in person. He spent more time in Jiying Special Effects Company, paying attention to the technicians in the company to make dinosaurs. special effects.

Of course, the skeletons of those dinosaurs are already being built.

"Boss, Mr. Cha invited you to drink tea, and asked when you are free?" Lin Xiao said to Zhang Yi.

"Golden hero?" Zhang Yi glanced at Lin Xiao, then said, "Let's leave it to tomorrow morning."

The next day, Zhang Yi and Jin Daxia met again.

Jin Daxia looked at the young man in front of him, feeling a little emotional.I think of a few years ago, when I saw "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", I wanted to use a high manuscript fee to guide Zhang Yi to focus on writing a book, but I didn't want to fail.

Such a genius-like character will not be bound in the field of novels.What's more, Zhang Yi's biggest achievement today is not a novel.Although in the field of novels, Zhang Yi has not released a new work for a long time, but it is still so dazzling.But compared with other aspects of him, it seems a bit bleak.

What Zhang Yi shines the most these days is undoubtedly his movies, his kung fu, and his business.Even his music is more dazzling than the novel.After all, his record company has become the largest Chinese record company in Southeast Asia.

"I heard that Mr. Zhang bought a newspaper and a magazine in the United States?" Jin Daxia took a sip of tea and said immediately.

"This is an extension of the film company over there. I don't have any details." Zhang Yi nodded and said immediately.

This matter was arranged by Bali Diller.That guy was ambitious, and after receiving a large sum of money from Zhang Yi, he couldn't hold back. He first bought a newspaper, then a magazine, and now he has his sights set on a TV station.If "Jurassic Park" hadn't delayed him a lot of time, he would probably have started by now.

"Ming Pao's development has reached a bottleneck. Perhaps in Mr. Zhang's hands, it will be able to radiate new things and achieve better development." Jin Daxia said immediately, with some tired and sad tone in his tone.

"Mr. Cha really intends to give up Ming Pao? He is your brainchild." Zhang Yi naturally heard Jin Daxia's hidden meaning, and also heard his reluctance.In fact, it is no secret that Jin Daxia sold shares in Ming Pao.Moreover, Zhang Yi had already guessed that such a day would come when he was the vice president of Ming Pao, but he never expected it to come so soon.

This is several years earlier than the previous life.

"I'm old, and I don't have the drive and energy that I used to have." Jin Daxia said sadly.

When Zhang Yi heard this, he didn't know what to say. (To be continued..)
