Chapter 218 "Myth" Taiwan trip
Zhang Yi's current status in the Hong Kong film industry is enough to make harsh words and ban a certain film, a certain person, or even a certain film company.
Zhang Yi is not afraid of those associations that are not allowed to abide by the rules of the film industry. Back then, when he was still relatively weak, he could bring down He Zitou, not to mention the security company he has now, as well as the martial arts building.
, there are so many masters, which club is not afraid of them.
Of course, what those societies are most afraid of is the group of people in Zhang Yi's hands. They are simply the special forces in the martial arts world. More than a dozen masters from Japan, Korea, and Thailand disappeared at the last word. For themselves and others, they are worse than being pinched in the mud.
Moreover, the two major social groups in Hong Kong now, the Xiang brothers of Xin Ngee Ann and Zhang Yi have a good relationship, at least on the surface. And 14k has an unclear relationship with the Huo family. The relationship between the Huo family and Zhang Yi is unprecedented in Hong Kong.
Everyone knows that apart from Miss Huo being a disciple of Zhang Yi, the most important thing is that the two have deep interests involved.
Zhang Yi cannot be moved by force. As for movies, Zhang Yi has taken control of Hong Kong theaters.
When Zhang Yi speaks harsh words, those groups will naturally restrain themselves.
Liu Dehua left, but Li Xiao walked in again. Now that Lin Xiao is still in the United States, Li Xiao is taking care of his affairs.
"Boss, there is a man named Wang Yu outside who wants to see you!" Li Xiao said to Zhang Yi.
"Wang Yu?" Zhang Yi was a little surprised when he heard this. He had no contact with him. What was the point of him coming to see him?
"Invite him in." Zhang Yi thought for a while and then said. That Wang Yu was very popular back then, but he had a deep relationship with the Taiwan Bamboo Union Gang.
"Mr. Wang, please sit down." Zhang Yi said to Wang Yu.
Wang Yu is a movie actor, but he has a strong aura about him. That temperament is not a result of acting or a physical appearance. It is a result of character and experience.
"Thank you!" Wang Yu is also a person who has experienced great storms, but facing Zhang Yi, he still couldn't help but feel a little restrained.
"I wonder why Mr. Wang came to see me today?" Zhang Yi smiled, and then asked someone to make tea.
"Did you come today to talk to Mr. Zhang about your movie?" Wang Yu said it straight to the point for some reason.
"My movie? Are you talking about the not-yet-released "The End of the World" or the sequel to "Resident Evil" that is being prepared?" Zhang Yi looked at Wang Yu and asked immediately.
"No, it's the "Myth" that has already been painted!" Wang Yu said.
""Myth"?" Zhang Yi was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood. "Myth" was banned in Taiwan. But its ability to attract money is undoubtedly coveted. Once the profit reaches a certain level.
Then there will be many people who take desperate risks.
This Wang Yu has a close relationship with the Bamboo Union Gang. This visit is obviously not on behalf of an individual, but on behalf of the Bamboo Union Gang. "The Myth" was banned in Taiwan, and Zhang Yi's fans made a fierce fuss, but the Taiwan authorities still withstood the pressure.
There was no compromise to let "The Myth" be released. Therefore, there were still some people with good conditions who went directly to Hong Kong to watch it.
Running from Taiwan to Hong Kong to watch a movie is undoubtedly crazy. And there are many such crazy people.
"Mr. Wang wants to show "The Myth" in Taiwan? But he has been banned by the Taiwan authorities. Taiwanese theaters dare not show it." Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"Regular theaters may not dare, but that doesn't mean other theaters don't! There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. I came here this time just to sell copies of "The Myth" with Mr. Zhang." Wang Yu smiled and said.
Others, of course, are those informal and black cinemas. They are everywhere.
"Although "The Myth" was filmed by me, I am not the one who produced and distributed it. If you want to buy a copy, you should go to Yindu Agency?" Zhang Yi looked at Wang Yu and said immediately.
"Mr. Zhang is joking. Didn't you say that this movie was banned in Taiwan? If I go to the Yindu Agency, I won't tell them that I got this movie to Taiwan. This deal is shady." Wang Yu smiled,
said.
Looking for the Yindu Agency is almost like courting death. The Yindu Agency may sell it to Wang Yu, but it is not as safe as getting it from Zhang Yi.
"Since it can't be seen in the light, there's no question of copyright or non-copyright. You can definitely get it from other channels. It's not like there are no copies of "The Myth" in the hands of film studios in various countries in Southeast Asia!" Zhang Yi smiled and said.
When Wang Yu heard this, he smiled bitterly. Haven't they ever thought about it, but if they get copies from other places, they will undoubtedly offend Zhang Yi. Moreover, those film producers regard Zhang Yi as the God of Wealth, how could they commit such a taboo?
Sell them copies.
It's not that I don't want to get it from other places, but that I can't get it. Even if I get it, the trouble is not small. Why not just spend some money and get it from Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi is rich, but who would think it's too much money?
"Mr. Zhang is joking." Wang Yu said, "I wonder what Mr. Zhang thinks?"
"How much do you plan to pay?" Zhang Yi looked at Wang Yu and said immediately, "As for the box office in Hong Kong, you should also know. Although you broadcast it secretly, it will definitely affect the box office, but it will definitely not be less."
"Two, five million!" Wang Yu said immediately.
Zhang Yi looked at Wang Yu. Apparently he wanted to say two million, but then changed his mind and said five million.
Not to mention two million, even five million is just dispensable to Zhang Yi today. However, this money is earned in vain, and since he is now opening a martial arts building in Taipei, he will inevitably have to deal with Taiwanese societies. And Taiwan
There is no doubt that the Bamboo Union Gang is the largest.
Although I am not afraid of them, one more friend is better than one more enemy. Having a good relationship with the Bamboo Union Gang also saves a lot of trouble.
Five million is certainly not their bottom line. However, Zhang Yi did not plan to ask for much. Taiwan is also a part of China, and a movie was even released in mainland China. Taiwanese audiences did not have the opportunity to see it, which inevitably made Zhang Yi somewhat regretful.
It doesn't matter whether you have more money or less.
"Add another one million. I won't bargain with you anymore. I have made you your friend. The one million will be given directly to the film studio in Singapore, and I will say hello to him. There are Mandarin copies in Singapore." Zhang
Yi thought for a while and then said.
"Okay!" Wang Yu didn't expect Zhang Yi to be so straightforward. From Singapore, Zhang Yi obviously didn't want to stir up trouble. Zhang Yi co-produced a movie with the mainland, which has already made the Taiwan authorities a little angry. If it weren't for Xue Lianxin's disciples among them
Zhou Xuan, as well as Zhang Yi's great influence, made the authorities a little scrupulous, fearing that they had already issued a warning to ban Zhang Yi.
If Zhang Yi secretly sold a copy of "The Myth" to the Bamboo Union Gang, it would undoubtedly annoy the authorities even more, and the gain would outweigh the loss.
"This money?" Liao Yiyuan looked at the five million check in front of him and looked at Zhang Yi with some doubts.
"Myth" was a hit at the box office, making Yindu Organization a huge profit. This cooperation with Zhang Yi has already settled the accounts. Zhang Yi has now spent another five million, which has to make him confused.
"I sold copies of "The Myth" to Taiwanese film producers!" Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"Taiwanese film producers? The Taiwanese authorities have unblocked "The Myth"? Impossible, I haven't heard of it." Liao Yiyuan said with a frown, a little surprised in his tone.
"Haha, if the lockdown is lifted, how can we only buy 5 million?" Zhang Yi smiled and said, "The Bamboo Union Gang offered 6 million, and I asked them to go to a film company in Singapore to get a copy. Taiwan will screen "Mythology"
"This matter has nothing to do with us."
It doesn’t matter half a dime! This five million is not money!
Liao Yiyuan naturally understood what he was thinking. He looked at Zhang Yi but smiled, pushed the check over and said, "You sold this, you should take the money."
"Haha. Yindu Organization is a production and distribution company. It's not appropriate for me to accept it. Mr. Liao doesn't need to be polite. Besides, five million in my hands is not as effective as in the hands of Yindu Organization. This money is not free.
If you don’t take it, it will be in vain.” Zhang Yi smiled and said, “I just have something to do with Mr. Liao.”
This five million is no trouble. Zhang Yi asked Wang Yu to get the film source from Singapore, and all the troubles were eliminated. Moreover, the Singaporean film producers made another million for no reason, so naturally they would not talk nonsense.
Liao Yiyuan didn't want it because he felt embarrassed. But Zhang Yi didn't want it, so it was undoubtedly inappropriate to take it as he said. Besides, he didn't lack the five million.
"What's the matter?" Liao Yiyuan asked immediately after accepting the five million check.
"Brother Sanmao is going to start filming "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and needs to go to the mainland for filming, so I hope Mr. Liao will contact the mainland to provide some help?" Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"That's it?" When Liao Yiyuan heard this, he was stunned and looked at Zhang Yi and said.
"That's it! Although the movie was not written by me, it was adapted from my novel. And I invested a lot of money in it!" Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"I know what it is. No problem. Nowadays, the mainland attaches great importance to Hong Kong. Hong Kong filmmakers who go to the mainland to shoot and shoot will receive corresponding care. You don't have to worry about this." Liao Yiyuan said. (To be continued, please search Gone with the Wind.
