Chapter 293 "Jurassic Park" starts
Zhang Yi invested one billion US dollars into the Hong Kong stock market, "trapped" other wealthy people in Hong Kong, and accumulated a large amount of funds to rescue the market. The Hong Kong stock market gradually stabilized. It did not have the destructive power it caused in previous lives.
In the bailout, due to sufficient funds and proper operation, Zhang Yi did not lose much, and it was only a fraction of what he made in the United States.
And the intangible value contained in the reputation that his move brought him is immeasurable. Zhang Yi's influence is already very large in Hong Kong, but most of it is in the film and television circles and the martial arts world. But after this incident
Son, has undoubtedly risen to various fields.
After Zhang Yi killed Japanese royal instructor Yi Kaoyuan in the United States, he became the undisputed overlord in the Hong Kong martial arts world. No one can shake his status. Even Taiwan. Because, not only can he fight, but he can also hold two
It is the economic lifeline of boxing for most Chinese people in the country.
In the film and television industry, let alone that. Although his film company is located in the United States, it controls theaters in Hong Kong. Who among the bosses of Hong Kong film companies would not look at his face? What’s more, he can write and direct,
Dominating the box office charts in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia, two films even ranked third and fourth in the world box office charts.
After Zhang Yizhi came to "The Myth", he seemed to have a soft spot for big-budget movies. Each movie seemed to involve more and more investment, and all the scenes were big. Even a movie about Chinese martial arts could be as big as it was made.
scene, sweeping the world box office.
Of course, the box office success of "Boxer" is not just due to the movie itself, but also has a lot to do with Zhang Yi's performance in the hijacking case and the beating of Yi Huoyuan to death at the opening of the Los Angeles Chinese Martial Arts Building. But no matter what the reason, it exceeds
The box office of 500 million is real.
Today, nearly US$100 million has been invested in preparing a new film, which has not only attracted the attention of the Hong Kong film and television industry, but also attracted great attention from Hollywood.
Although Zhang Yi is only 21 years old now, he can definitely be regarded as a world-class director. Of course, his greatness as a director is not achieved through awards, but through box office accumulation.
"Jurassic Park" is no stranger to Hong Kong movie fans. This film appeared at the same time as the "Resident Evil" script and was changed into a novel at the same time.
Now "Resident Evil" has been filmed in two parts, and both parts have caused a great sensation in the world of film circles, especially the second part which has achieved unprecedented success.
Both "Resident Evil" and "Jurassic Park" were Zhang Yi's attempts to enter the international market at the invitation of Shao Daheng.
"Resident Evil", a film with a much smaller investment, has been successful. People are looking forward to how successful "Jurassic Park" will be. However, it has been delayed repeatedly because the special effects technology did not achieve the best results.
Zhang Yi launched the movie "Jurassic Park", which naturally attracted the attention of countless people.
When Balidile heard the news, he immediately put aside his affairs in the United States and came to Hong Kong.
Naturally, he heard that Spielberg originally wanted the rights to this film, but Zhang Yi rejected it. What's more, even if Spielberg hadn't been involved, with Bali Diller's eyes, he could naturally see the potential of this film.
potential.
In a previous life, the novel "Jurassic Park" came out, which caused many Hollywood film companies to compete for it. This shows its potential.
Bali Diller came to Hong Kong for the first time, but he couldn't wait to visit Zhang Yi's Jiying Special Effects and see the technology of Jiying Special Effects. Although he was shocked, he was even more excited.
"What! Boss, are you planning to buy an island and build a dinosaur-themed park?" Balidile's eyes widened after hearing Zhang Yi's idea, a little unbelievable.
"What? You don't think it's feasible?" Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"It's feasible! Of course it's feasible! But the risk is relatively high. If the movie is successful, it will definitely boost tourism in the park," Balidile said.
"There are some buildings built on the exteriors. It would be a pity if they were abandoned after the filming of the movie. Instead of wasting it, it is better to do it more thoroughly." Zhang Yi said with a smile, "Not only do I plan to use this film to get involved in hotel tourism, but also
Toy factories have begun to produce dinosaur toys, and even their technology companies are producing related games."
Balidile opened his mouth and looked at Zhang Yi, but was speechless. Facing such a boss, he didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky. In the end, he had to admit that he was lucky.
"What do I need to do?" Balidile asked eagerly.
"You need to do a lot!" Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Preliminary preparations, location layout, and of course actors. Except for the male and female protagonists, who I plan to use Chinese, the rest will be Westerners. Oh, the second male lead.
The number will also be Chinese."
The second male lead was promoted to the first male lead in the second film. Zhang Yi's movies can use Chinese, but they will never use Westerners.
"In your movie, or in this series of movies, the only protagonist is the dinosaur. Anyone in it will be reduced to a supporting role." Balidile said immediately. There is no such thing as Zhang Yi's arrangement above the actors.
Disagreement.
Zhang Yi smiled. Indeed, as Bali Diller said, the only protagonists in "Jurassic Park" are dinosaurs. However, although the male and female protagonists are not overshadowed by the dinosaurs, they are definitely outstanding.
"That island, where are you going to buy it?" Balidile said immediately.
"Maldives." Zhang Yi said calmly.
Zhang Yi's new film will have Chinese male and female leads, as well as the second male lead. As soon as the news came out, it immediately touched the hearts of all actors in Hong Kong. Zhang Yi is now taking an international route. Once he stars in Zhang Yi's film, it means that he will
Show your face internationally.
Look at Donnie Yen, who was still in the second and third tier before. Now he is extremely famous because of starring in Zhang Yi's "Fighter", and even has a lot of fame internationally.
Although the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" are extremely popular, for the human actors in it, the acting requirements are definitely not small. Because many scenes have to be performed in the studio, even on location, they are mostly performed out of thin air.
Those dinosaurs were all produced in post-production.
"Brother Fa, I recently took on Wu Yusen's "Across the World". I wonder when the filming will start and when it will be completed?" Zhang Yi looked at Zhou Runfa with a smile.
In terms of acting skills, Zhang Yi, the male lead, naturally prefers Zhou Runfa, and Zhou Runfa is now well-known in North America.
"The filming will start in early November, and it is expected to be completed in January." Zhou Runfa looked at Zhang Yi, somewhat nervous. Zhang Yi came to him, and he had naturally guessed something. If he missed his film due to scheduling issues,
There is inevitably some regret.
But he accepted the role of "Across the World" directed by Wu Yusen and could not break the contract. After all, he and Wu Yusen still enjoyed working together and had a good relationship.
"Then try not to take any more roles. Of course, if you are interested in the male lead in the movie "Jurassic Park"." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "This movie will probably be released in February next year.
Shooting will begin.”
"Haha! Which actor in Hong Kong would not be interested in your movie." Zhou Runfa smiled and said.
"That's not necessarily true. The biggest star in this movie is not the leading male character, but the dinosaur in it. I don't think any leading actor would want to be overshadowed by a dinosaur in a movie." Zhang Yi smiled,
said.
"I heard that you also plan to use a Chinese as the heroine? Can you tell me who will star with me in this film?" Zhou Runfa smiled.
The audience may pay more attention to the dinosaurs in the film than the protagonist, but the filmmakers are different. They couldn't possibly find a dinosaur to act in.
"Haha." Zhang Yi smiled, then looked at the door and said to Zhou Runfa, "Here we come."
When Zhou Runfa heard this, he quickly turned around and saw Lin Xiao opening the door and Zhong Lianhong walking in with a smile.
Zhong Lianhong was stunned for a moment when she saw Fa Ge, then smiled and said to Zhang Yi: "Ayi, you really think of me. Don't tell me, let me come just to drink tea with you."
"Sit down." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Since Aunt Hong has guessed it, I won't talk nonsense. Aunt Hong won't refuse to play with Fa Ge, right? I know you are busy at this time
I'm doing business, I didn't take any roles."
Zhou Huimin got involved in the business world, and among her partners was Zhong Lianhong.
"Only a fool would refuse. During this period of time, I have been supplementing my knowledge about dinosaurs, and I have almost become an expert in this field. Moreover, I haven't taken on a role in a long time, and I have become addicted to acting. Acting with Fa Ge,
Of course it couldn't be better." Zhong Liohong was not polite to Zhang Yi, and immediately sat next to Zhou Runfa and said to Zhang Yi with a smile.
She still knows Zhang Yi well. Although Zhang Yi's status has changed a lot now, the friends he was familiar with back then have not changed at all. If you appear polite and reserved, it will make Zhang Yi unhappy. (To be continued.
