Chapter 242 The scolding in the praise
Chapter 242: Curses among good reviews
The sequel to "Resident Evil" was released simultaneously around the world, and with the success of "Resident Evil" receiving four Oscar nominations, it attracted many people to watch in theaters...
The fiery action and strong visual impact will undoubtedly make movie fans hooked.
Steve was originally a crazy kung fu fan. When Bruce Lee made Chinese kung fu famous all over the world, he became addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself. With extremely favorable financial conditions, he never missed a kung fu movie.
Unfortunately, until Bruce Lee passed away suddenly, he had never seen a Kung Fu movie that deeply fascinated him. He was disappointed but unwilling to let it go. He couldn't let it go, but in the midst of disappointment, he had to let it go.
Until one day, he accidentally heard from a friend that a teenage director in Hong Kong had made a very good kung fu movie called "Ip Man".
How could a teenage director make a good kung fu movie? He didn't have high hopes, but he walked into the theater with the habit of not letting go of the wrong person. But he didn't expect the movie called "Ip Man".
It immediately aroused his hidden passion for Kung Fu movies.
He has watched it more than ten times in a row and is still not satisfied with it. Kung Fu movie, this is Kung Fu movie!
Because of this movie, he learned about a powerful teenage director in Hong Kong.
When "Resident Evil" was promoted in the United States, he was looking forward to it. He wanted to know what kind of surprise he would get when Chinese kung fu and science fiction were combined.
Surprise, "Resident Evil" really gave him a big surprise. What surprised him even more was that Zhang Yi, a teenage director, was actually a kung fu master himself.
After "Resident Evil" was released, he was shot dead and was reported by countless media. Then Zhang Yi showed his skills on the TV station, which immediately caused a sensation in the entire United States.
Steve knew that he was in trouble. Immediately, he spent a lot of money to get the video of Zhang Yi on the TV station and fighting with that Muay Thai master.
He didn't even know how many times he had watched these two videos.
The more he watched, the deeper his admiration for Zhang Yi became. There is no doubt that he became Zhang Yi's most loyal fan in the United States. And people like him are definitely not a minority in the United States.
"The Myth" was released in North America, which undoubtedly gave fans like Steve another surprise. Chinese Kung Fu is not only about fists and feet, but also weapons. The killing charm of weapons is amazing.
However, this film also made Steve a little regretful. Because this was a film directed by Zhang Yi, not a movie he starred in. He really wanted to see Zhang Yi show off his skills in the film.
I finally looked forward to the movie "The Love of Ghosts" starring Zhang Yi, and I immediately ran to watch it with great interest, but I was disappointed.
"The Love of Ghosts" is indeed touching and a classic. But martial arts fans like Steve, who are fans of Zhang Yi's movies, can't help but feel regretful.
Now in the sequel to "Resident Evil", Zhang Yi will show off his skills and fight against those zombies, those lickers, and that monster.
Looking forward to it, extremely looking forward to it!
However, after watching it, I was hooked, and I was even more delighted with the martial arts displayed by Zhang Yi. But I didn't expect that it only lasted a few short scenes, and ended abruptly in a deceiving manner.
After killing a group of zombies and splitting open the lickers, Zhang Yi and the big monster appeared to fight before they could finish their thoughts. Anticipation, immeasurable anticipation! But just when the anticipation reached its peak, it unexpectedly stopped abruptly, without even an explanation.
No. This undoubtedly made Steve feel itchy.
Swear loudly!
Steve, who has always been gentle, couldn't help but cursed when he saw this.
Needless to say, Steve was definitely not the only one who scolded me. Especially in Southeast Asia and other places, the scolding continued.
Of course, the scolding was just a complaint. A complaint that was not fully understood.
However, some people speculate that the martial arts master Zhang Yi guest-starred in is not dead and will definitely appear in subsequent films.
The sequel to "Resident Evil" has achieved both good reviews and box office success. Although it was not unanimously praised, it was also well received. Within one week of its release, the film topped the box office for the week in North America and Southeast Asia.
However, this can be considered a later story.
After the film was released, Zhang Yi wanted to return to Hong Kong immediately, but was delayed due to matters at the Guoshu Building.
The news that Zhang Yi and the Huo family are about to open a guoshu building in the United States has spread to the Chinese martial arts community in the United States. However, there are countless large cities in the United States, and many of them meet the conditions. There is a dispute among the Chinese martial arts community in the United States as to where to open a guoshu building.
Zhu Hongzhi hoped that Zhang Yi would open a Chinese martial arts building in New York, while Huang Xinzhuang hoped to open a Chinese martial arts building in Los Angeles.
Zhang Yi was not sure whether to pay attention to where it was open.
"Master Huang, Master Zhu, can you allow me to go back and discuss this matter with others?" Zhang Yi said looking at Huang Xinzhuang and Zhu Hongzhi.
"Mr. Zhang, I heard that your plan is to open martial arts buildings in every city in the world. Have you never thought about opening two martial arts buildings in the United States at once?" Huang Xinzhuang's apprentice Wang Zhe said.
The last time Hongmen and the Mafia had a boxing bet, Wang Zhe went on to win the game with a lose-lose style. Hongmen seized control of the black boxing market, and his status in Hongmen also randomly increased. However, in Huang
He still had no qualifications to sit in front of Xinzhuang. However, there was nothing wrong with speaking.
When everyone heard what he said, their eyes suddenly lit up. With the financial resources of Zhang Yi and the Huo family, it is not impossible to open martial arts buildings in New York and Los Angeles at the same time.
Zhang Yi smiled and did not come back immediately. How could things be as simple as just starting a fight together?
"It's not impossible to open them all together. But which Guoshu building will take the lead?" Zhang Yi shook his head and said, "Since Guoshu buildings are to be opened in every city in the world, then every country or region will have a headquarters. Only in this way can it be better
Just like the headquarters of Taiwan's Guoshu Building, it is naturally the one that opened in Taipei not long ago. It will also be the largest one in Taiwan. When other cities in Taiwan build Guoshu Buildings in the future, they will naturally be led by the Taipei one.
Radiation all around.”
Wang Zhe didn't say anything after hearing this. Although he controlled the black boxing market in Los Angeles, his business philosophy was completely different from that of the Guoshu Building. He also understood the meaning of Zhang Yi's words. The Guoshu Building that was built first
The building was later to be the headquarters of the American Martial Arts Building.
"Lin Xiao, do you think it is better to open the Guoshu Building in Los Angeles or New York?" Zhang Yi asked Lin Xiao with a smile after seeing off Huang Xinzhuang and others.
"Los Angeles!" Lin Xiao thought for a moment and then said.
"Why?" Zhang Yi asked.
"Because there is Hollywood in Los Angeles!" Lin Xiao said immediately.
"Haha, I don't have much appeal in Hollywood!" Zhang Yi smiled and said.
He really doesn't have much appeal in Hollywood now. The opening of the Hong Kong Martial Arts Building can attract all the big names in the Hong Kong film and television industry. It's obviously not possible in Hollywood.
Zhang Yi didn't even know those big celebrities, let alone have any friendship with them.
"Boss, do you prefer New York?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.
"Let's take a look first and then talk about it. Let someone investigate first and make an analysis of the pros and cons." Zhang Yi shook his head and said immediately.
"Get ready, let's go back to Hong Kong." Zhang Yi said immediately.
Zhang Yi's film "The Last Love" was nominated for four Oscars, and the news has spread to Southeast Asia, causing a huge sensation.
Zhang Yi, who has only won some marginal awards at both the Academy Awards and the Golden Horse Awards, has now been nominated for four Oscars. Among them is a heavyweight award: Best Picture.
Being nominated for an Oscar is undoubtedly a great honor for filmmakers. Especially for Chinese filmmakers. How many great directors have competed for Oscars, but all failed. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi, a young man in his twenties, did it.
No, to be precise, it should be nineteen! Because when this movie was filmed, Zhang Yi was not yet twenty.
Regardless of whether Zhang Yi wins the award in the end, he is already ahead of others, and his achievements in movies have been beyond the reach of countless filmmakers.
Proud! Zhang Yi is definitely the pride of Hong Kong and the pride of the Chinese people!
After the Hong Kong media got the news, they reported it like a chicken blood, almost exaggerating and making Zhang Yi a national hero. Unfortunately, Zhang Yi is now in the United States and cannot be interviewed at all.
But the unwilling media directly sent people to guard the airport 24 hours a day, vowing to get first-hand interview information.
Chapter completed!
