Chapter 185 Kung Fu Movie

The popularity of "Ip Man" in mainland China has been astonishing. Countless people line up to buy tickets every day. When everyone meets, it seems that the previous "Have you eaten?" has been changed to "Have you seen it?". Compared with the "Shaolin Temple" back then

》Don’t try to give in too much.

Perhaps Wing Chun is not as famous as Shaolin Temple in mainland China, but the movie itself is undoubtedly more enjoyable to watch. Moreover, there is another most important reason. "Shaolin Temple" is a movie based on Thirteen Stick Monks Saving the King of Tang Dynasty.

The film described in it is naturally from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is too far away from today.

But "Ip Man" is different. It tells the story of the Anti-Japanese War in the Republic of China. It was only a few decades ago. Many people who experienced the Anti-Japanese War are still alive. They all remember that shameful history and their hatred for little Japan.

, many have not dissipated yet.

Although this movie is not a mainstream movie, it is more attractive than mainstream movies because it is obviously more entertaining. What is lacking in mainland China today is this kind of movie. It is a natural sensation.

As soon as "Ip Man" was screened, everyone knew about Ip Man and Wing Chun. Many of them wanted to practice martial arts and asked where to teach Wing Chun. Many people came to the Sun Family Tai Chi Research Association during this period to inquire.

.

"A movie can actually cause such a sensation. Many people in the south may know about Wing Chun, but in the north if you are not a practitioner, you may have never heard of it. I didn't expect that a movie of yours would actually make Wing Chun famous.

I heard about it in the streets of Beijing. There are even many people who come to various martial arts schools to inquire and want to learn Wing Chun." Master Sun Jianyun said with a smile.

"Haha, Bruce Lee used movies to let the world know about Chinese Kung Fu. Kung Fu movies really played an immeasurable role in promoting Chinese boxing." Zhang Yi smiled and said.

These days, he has been staying at the Sun Family Tai Chi Research Association to exchange boxing skills with masters from various Sun sects. He still knows a little about the popularity of "Ip Man" in the mainland. After all, many people have come to the Sun Family Tai Chi Research Association to inquire.

"Have you ever thought about making a movie about Sun Style Tai Chi? A few years ago, the movie "Shaolin Temple" caused a sensation. Although many people in the martial arts world sneered at performance-style boxing, they had to admit that it was of great significance to boxing.

It is of great benefit to the spread of boxing." Master Sun Jianyun sighed and said, "Nowadays, it is no longer a time of war. Pure martial arts has become a shackle for the development of boxing. At the beginning, the second brother was unwilling to perform, and the sports committee

The conflict was very deep."

Zhang Yi naturally knew something about this matter. At that time, Mr. Sun Cunzhou was unparalleled in martial arts, and countless famous masters were defeated by him. The Sports Committee invited him to come out many times, but he repeatedly refused. He even went to Shanghai and the Shanghai Sports Palace once.

The person in charge directly distributed posters and forced Mr. Sun Cunzhou to perform on stage using a settled method, but it failed.

"Heroes in troubled times, thugs in prosperous times. However, boxing training, fighting methods, and performances are indispensable. I am a descendant of Sun Sect, and I naturally have no shirk in carrying forward Sun Sect Tai Chi. However, if fighting skills are abandoned in order to spread boxing skills, martial arts will sooner or later

It will become a dance! As for movies, of course I will make them, and I will make a lot of them." Zhang Yi said immediately. Thinking of some things in his previous life, he felt a little lonely.

"Performance and martial arts really need to find a balance point. Otherwise, many boxing skills may be lost as time goes by." Master Sun Jianyun nodded and said immediately.

It's not very possible, but certain. Even when Huang Feihong was in troubled times, his second son died due to jealousy. He thought that martial arts training was unknown and would not pass on the kung fu to his descendants. But in today's peaceful and prosperous times, how many people are unwilling to pass on the kung fu?

The kung fu of future generations.

Those who practice martial arts have strong blood and refuse to be humiliated. If they do not practice martial arts well, they may hurt or even kill people with their attacks. In troubled times, it is easy to say, but in prosperous times, you have to take the gun.

Therefore, today we must promote boxing and focus more on performances. However, if we do not find a balance point between the two, we will be like Zhang Yi in the parallel world in his previous life. Not only martial arts has become dance, but also the practice of Chinese Kung Fu has become more and more popular.

Come less and less.

Naturally, Zhang Yi did not just talk casually about making a movie about Sun's Tai Chi. Both Sun Lutang and Sun Cunzhou are extremely legendary and worth filming. However, Zhang Yi himself does not want to make biographies anymore.

During the few days at the Sun Family Tai Chi Research Association, Zhang Yi exchanged martial arts with masters from the Sun Family and gained a lot. However, it was time to return to Hong Kong. After all, there are still a lot of things waiting for him in Hong Kong.

Zhang Yi returned to Hong Kong this time, in addition to the masters of the Sun Sect, there was also Li Lianjie. Li Lianjie's master Wu Bin had a good relationship with Master Sun Jianyun. When he returned to Hong Kong this time, Master Sun Jianyun also gave special instructions to Zhang Yi.

Li Lianjie took more care of him.

Naturally, Zhang Yi would not refuse this. Regardless of the monk's face or the Buddha's face, Zhang Yi would not let go of Li Lianjie's potential. In the parallel space of the past life, several kung fu stars in the future, their

When it comes to movies, what Zhang Yi likes is not Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, let alone Donnie Yen, but Li Lianjie.

And he is an important figure in Zhang Yi's plan to spread Chinese martial arts through movies. He undoubtedly has an advantage over Hong Jinbao and others, because he basically knows traditional Chinese martial arts. According to the evaluation of the previous life Yuan Heping, he is

An encyclopedia of kung fu. Although most of it is performance-based, there is still something thoughtful in the performance and fighting style. When shooting a movie, whether it is to show fighting style or performance, he can undoubtedly do it.

Zhang Yi and others returned to Hong Kong. It was already December of 1985, and "Face Changing" co-produced by him and Lei Daheng had been released in major theaters in Hong Kong for a few days.

This film, coordinated by Zhang Yi, was released simultaneously in Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas, and Ray Tycoon's Golden Princess Cinema. Although Zhang Yi did not plan for the premiere of this film, the film is now

It still bears his mark. However, this time, as a screenwriter and investor, his limelight did not overwhelm the director as before.

This film is the second collaboration between Zhang Yi and Wu Yusen. Although it is written by Zhang Yi, this film, like "A Better Tomorrow", has Wu Yusen's own style, and the four following "aesthetics of violence"

The release of this movie has become more and more popular.

Wu Yusen once again proved his ability and attracted the attention of Hollywood producers with this film.

Zhang Yi asked Lin Xiao to arrange the Sun Clan's masters and Li Lianjie properly, and then prepared to start filming "Myth".

Now, the crew has been formed, the studio has been completed, the actors are in place, and the official shooting is just around the corner.

However, before the movie started filming, Tycoon Lei came to visit.

"You said there are several studios in Hollywood who want to represent "Face"?" Zhang Yi looked at Tycoon Lei, saw him nodding, then smiled and said, "Boss Lei can just handle this matter on his own. I want to do it with Boss Lei

When it comes to business, you can naturally pursue maximizing profits."

"Haha, the premise of maximizing profits is to understand the impact of this film in the European and American markets. Mr. Zhang's understanding of the European and American film markets is second to none in the Hong Kong film and television industry. This film was also written by Mr. Zhang.

The reason I came here is to hear Mr. Zhang’s box office estimate for this movie in the European and American markets.” Tycoon Lei smiled and said, “The film producers proposed two plans, one is to buy out directly, and the other is to

Box office tiering.”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he immediately understood. In the past, many Hong Kong films were released in North America in the form of buyouts, but "Resident Evil" and "Resident Evil" both made more money through box office dividends.

Whether it is more cost-effective to buy out the movie or to distribute box office dividends, the key is naturally how much box office the movie can win in North America.

"I haven't seen the finished movie yet, but with Wu Yusen's ability, it has definitely achieved the effect I expected. In my estimation, the box office of this movie in North America should not be as high as Debau's "The Rescue"

"Bad." Zhang Yi thought for a while and said.

"If that's the case, then we can get more through box office dividends," Tycoon Lei said immediately.

"In terms of box office dividends, Hollywood studios are definitely not as active in publicity as buyouts. However, there are many ways to distribute dividends. Boss Lei might as well distribute dividends first high and then low," Zhang Yi said. Regarding "

He is still optimistic about the box office performance of "Face" in North America.

"What Mr. Zhang means is that in the beginning, the higher the box office, the more layers there will be. After reaching a certain level, the higher the box office, the lower the share will be to stimulate them to increase publicity?" Lei Tycoon said after hearing this.
