Chapter 173 The Coolest Dad in History (Part 1)
Many people have heard that Zhang Yi is good at calligraphy, but have never really seen it. This time, Zhang Yi donated this calligraphy. Although the writing is only a few seal characters, not many people know it, but everyone can feel the meaning of the calligraphy.
Majestic.
Moreover, not only does the character have a divine shape, but the power of the writing goes straight through the back of the paper. It is definitely a rare masterpiece. Coupled with Zhang Yi's current fame, this character is not said to be priceless, but I think it can be compared with those famous people.
Calligraphers are comparable to, or even better than, calligraphers.
Of course, this is not talking about the artistic value of the word, but the commercial value.
In the end, the calligraphy was bought by Shao Daheng for five million yuan. Shao Daheng had accumulated a lot of prestige over the past few decades, so naturally no one would compete with him. What’s more, it was just a charity auction, just a calligraphy.
"Uncle Liu really gave me face. It's just a word. You paid such a high price and you won't be afraid of me falling down if you lift me up." Zhang Yi smiled and said to Shao Daheng.
"If I don't take action, I'm afraid your reputation will be even more popular. It's best if you don't get into the limelight. Otherwise, the atmosphere of the entire venue will change." Shao Daheng then said with a smile.
Zhang Yi listened and immediately understood. If Zhang Yi's words sell for a sky-high price, although it is a good thing for raising funds, it may not be a good thing for other people. You, Zhang Yi, donate something and sell it.
Millions and tens of millions, but the things he donated only sold tens of thousands. What would the ignorant public think of this comparison?
To other people, especially those who strive for fame, it seems a bit unfair. This charity auction was initiated by Shao Daheng, and he naturally wanted to prevent this kind of thing from happening.
Perhaps many people understand this truth, so even those who have grudges against Shao Daheng did not bid.
The heart of comparison exists in everyone's heart.
"Haha, if the money raised this time is not enough, I can still support a little." Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"Nothing is enough. As a saying goes, when it comes to charity, as big as the pot is, as much rice goes into it. As much as you raise money, you will do as much as you want. If you are determined, the door of the Hong Kong Charity Federation is always open for you, and you can
You can talk to Yu Weng directly, he is now the president of the Hong Kong Charity Federation." After hearing this, Shao Daheng said immediately.
Zhang Yi nodded and said nothing more. Charity is a very strange thing. It is not measured by the amount of money you donate.
"Speaking of charity, I have an idea, something about movies?" Zhang Yi suddenly said.
"Oh, do you want to make a movie that's not about charity?" Shao Daheng suddenly became interested when he heard this. He had experienced Zhang Yi's unbridled imagination before. Often when he talks about one thing, inspiration suddenly occurs.
told a story.
"No! I thought of a 'Chinese New Star Director's Plan'. I want to invest some money to help some new Chinese directors and fund their filming. After all, newcomers need opportunities to show their talents. I will not put pressure on those directors.
, at most give some guidance to measure the feasibility of the script. However, Uncle Six knows that I have no plans to open a film and television company in Hong Kong. This plan cannot be completed by myself and requires the support of a film company." Zhang Yi immediately told Shao Daheng
said.
"Is this a money-losing plan?" Shao Daheng looked at Zhang Yi and said.
"Haha, that's not necessarily the case. Besides, Hong Kong movies need fresh blood. Besides, I've already made a lot of money from movies." Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"I still can't figure it out, why don't you open your own film company?" Shao Daheng looked at Zhang Yi and said.
"There are already enough film companies in Hong Kong. The market is only so big. If we continue to fight among ourselves, how much will be left. If I open a film company, I don't know how many film companies in Hong Kong will regard me as a strong enemy and will suppress me."
"Fighting back will undoubtedly make the fight for Hong Kong movies even more intense. If we don't fight back, then why open a film company? If we win, if one company is dominant, the film market will lose its vitality." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Besides, I am like this
It’s not the same. I invest in movies the same way, although I often cooperate with other movie companies, but at least once the movie I invest in is released, the flagship movies of other movie companies will not compete with mine, and the box office will not be divided.”
"Shao Brothers can take part in the plan directed by a rising Chinese star like you. If someone is suitable, Shaw Brothers can also invest in it." Shao Daheng looked at Zhang Yi and said immediately.
In fact, he himself still hopes that Zhang Yi will open a film company. After all, now that Shaw Brothers has reduced production, his theater chains need film sources.
"Uncle Six, can I discuss something with you again?" Zhang Yi smiled and nodded, and then said.
Shao Daheng looked at Zhang Yi, narrowed his eyes and said, "What's the matter? Are you kidding me again?"
"Haha, do you think the film I co-produced with New Art City can be arranged to be released at Shaw Brothers Cinemas at the same time?" Zhang Yi said with a chuckle.
"That "Face" directed by Wu Yusen you are talking about?" Shao Daheng looked at Zhang Yi and said, "Do you want that film to be released at the same time in Shaw Brothers Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas?"
"There is also Jiahe Cinema Line! I want all three theater lines to release the movie at the same time." Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"Then will Zou Wenhuai agree?" Shao Daheng frowned, glanced at Zou Wenhuai not far away, and said.
"Haha, he will agree." Zhang Yi said.
"Are you so sure?" Shao Daheng said with some disbelief.
"I will convince Boss Lei that as a condition, the "Rush Hour" co-produced by Golden Harvest and I will be released at the Golden Princess Cinema at the same time. Of course, if Shaw Brothers can also release "Rush Hour" at the same time, I can
Convince Boss Zou that the sequel of "Resident Evil" will also be released in Jiahe Cinema by then." Zhang Yi said calmly, and then looked at Shao Daheng.
"You kid, you made a good calculation." Shao Daheng smiled and said.
"This is good for everyone, why not do it? Who would have trouble with money? As for who earns more and who earns less, it depends on how popular their respective films are with the audience," Zhang Yi said with a smile.
.
"I need to think about this matter." Shao Daheng glanced at Fang Yihua beside him and said immediately.
Zhang Yi smiled and nodded. However, he knew that Shao Daheng was already a little moved. And when the interests are displayed in front of everyone, it is not impossible to unite major theaters. At least, the films he co-produced with other companies,
It is very likely that it will be released in major theaters at the same time. As for whether their wholly-owned movies can be like this, it has little to do with Zhang Yi.
The next day, Zhang Yi met with Boss Lei and discussed the schedule of "Wind Rescue". Although it did not achieve the ideal results, it was still rewarding.
After he finished talking, Hong Jinbao couldn't wait to come over and ask.
"One week. The first week the movie is released, Golden Princess Cinema will be released at the same time." Zhang Yi said to Hong Jinbao calmly.
"Only one week?" Hong Jinbao seemed a little dissatisfied.
"Brother Sanmao, you told me a few days in advance that the Golden Princess Cinema has already arranged its schedule. How do you want me to talk to Boss Lei! It's already a big deal if they squeeze out a week to release the movie at the same time. You
Still not satisfied?" Zhang Yi said with a bitter smile.
"Oh! That's what you said." Upon hearing this, Hong Jinbao smiled awkwardly, then looked at Zhang Yi and said, "I didn't think of this until I met you."
"Can you blame me?" Zhang Yi rolled his eyes at Hong Jinbao, then remembered something and said, "By the way, tell Yuan Hua and ask him to learn more Mandarin."
"Learning Mandarin? I heard that you are going to the mainland to shoot a film in the second half of the year. Is it related to this?" Hong Jinbao said immediately after hearing this.
Zhang Yi nodded and then said: "I'm going to let him play the big villain in the film. Oh, by the way. If Yuan Kui is free, let him also learn. Then he can come with me, director and action
Guidance, I need a deputy."
Hong Jinbao looked at Zhang Yi and then said: "I want to thank you on behalf of both of them! Especially Yuan Kui."
"Haha!" Zhang Yi smiled, not much. Obviously, Hong Jinbao thought he was supporting Yuan Kui, but how did he know that Yuan Kui's future achievements in directing and action guidance would go further than him.
Especially after he met Li Lianjie, he was even more out of control.
"Yuanhua plays the villain, what about the male protagonist?" Hong Jinbao suddenly asked, looking at Zhang Yi with expectation.
"Although this time it is said to be a co-production with the Yindu Agency, he is actually the one taking the lead. The real co-production is with the film company from the mainland. The leading actor will most likely be from the mainland." Zhang Yi glanced at Hong Jinbao and said,
In fact, he knew what Hong Jinbao meant.
It is no secret in the entertainment industry that Hong Jinbao supports his junior brother. He asked this just because he wanted to find out if it was Yuan Biao and to fight for him. After all, Zhang Yi's "Ip Man" made him
Now he is extremely popular. For Zhang Yi's new film, he naturally hopes that it will still be Yuan Biao.
When Hong Jinbao heard this, he was not very disappointed.
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Zhang Yi smiled and patted Hong Jinbao's shoulder and said.
In fact, the original version of "Myth" starred Cheng Long, and the style was also marked with Cheng Long's style. However, compared with previous Cheng Long movies, it obviously lacked a lot. Perhaps, when that movie was filmed, Cheng Long was a little older
As it gets bigger, some movements become incompetent.
But Zhang Yi did not plan to find Cheng Long, but thought of another future international action star. Obviously, Zhang Yi wanted to change his style. Moreover, Zhang Yi also changed a lot of the script. At least, that one and the heroine
General Nangong, who had been underground for more than two thousand years, gave him a hard time.
A man and a woman alone have stayed in an underground palace like a secret chamber for more than two thousand years, which inevitably makes people daydream. And that kind of daydream is undoubtedly a fatal stain in the face of love that has traveled through thousands of years.
Awkward. This is how Zhang Yi felt when he first watched the original version of "The Myth". As long as he is not a eunuch, even if General Nangong has Liu Xiahui's virtue, normal and abnormal men and women will think that way.
Chapter completed!
