Chapter 335: Continuous Actions

Zhang Yi and Jiahe are collaborating on an action film starring Cheng Long, which will be filmed in Los Angeles. The news spread like wildfire in Hong Kong and then spread to Southeast Asia.

Although everyone doesn't know what this movie is, it's not difficult to guess that Zhang Yi is trying to push Cheng Long into Hollywood.

Zhang Yi has undoubtedly established a foothold in Hollywood now. And Zhang Yi's film company has also established a foothold in Hollywood. Those major Hollywood film companies that want to kill Jiying Film Company often end in failure. Especially Warner

, the last time I was directly torn to pieces by Zhang Yi’s dinosaur in "Jurassic Park", it almost broke my muscles and bones.

Learning from the past, other film companies no longer dare to bully and suppress Jiying Film Company as a small company. Bali Diller is not easy to mess with, and Zhang Yi behind him is even more difficult to mess with.

In the eyes of many film companies, Zhang Yi never seems to worry about box office.

No matter what movies Zhang Yi shoots, he never seems to lose money. And every movie makes a lot of money. It doesn't matter if he invests more or invests less.

This kind of person is so scary.

Zhang Yi's continuous investment in movies in Hong Kong is not good news for those filmmakers who thought Zhang Yi had gone to Hollywood. Especially those film companies that have no friendship with Zhang Yi, nor the power or opportunity to cooperate.

People who had some friendship with Zhang Yi came to visit one after another, seeking cooperation.

Of course, some did not come in person, but sent some people to talk to them.

"Mr. Zhou, let's go!" Zhang Yi said to Zhou Xingchi with a smile.

Today's Zhou Xingchi became famous relatively early because of Zhang Yi's appearance. He has already changed from "Xingzi" to "Xingye". However, it is obviously impossible to call him "Xingye" with Zhang Yi's current status.

It seems a little inappropriate to call him "Xingzi". After all, in terms of age, he is younger than the other party.

"Mr. Zhang, just call me A Xing, or Xing Zai." Zhou Xingchi said with some restraint. Some people said that he was a little arrogant, but in front of Zhang Yi, he obviously couldn't be arrogant, and he didn't dare to be arrogant.

Zhou Xingchi's current achievements are closely related to Zhang Yi's support. Even without this relationship, Zhang Yi still controls the entire theater chain in Hong Kong. And his influence in the Hong Kong film industry is absolutely unimaginable.

If Zhang Yi is offended, Master Xing will also turn him into a star boy.

Zhang Yi nodded upon hearing this and did not dwell on the issue, but said: "I heard that you signed a contract with Yongsheng?"

"Yeah!" Zhou Xingchi nodded and said.

The relationship between Zhou Xingchi and Yong Sheng is naturally self-evident. When Liu Zhenwei was filming "New Fist of Heroes", he was the one who borrowed money from Yong Sheng. Moreover, it is said that Zhou Xingchi wanted to immigrate to Canada because his relationship with Xin Ngee Ann was too much. But he was rejected.

, and ended up in court.

"I can pretty much guess the purpose of your coming!" Zhang Yi smiled and said.

When Zhou Xingchi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly.

"What do you mean by Mr. Zhang?" Zhou Xingchi looked at Zhang Yi and asked.

"There is no problem in cooperation. After all, we have some friendship. However, if it is just a small fight, I probably won't be interested." Zhang Yi said immediately.

When Zhou Xingchi heard this, he was immediately happy. He was not interested in making small fuss. Naturally, it was a big production. And he came to talk about it. He was probably the star of this film.

Zhou Xingchi is now in Hong Kong. He is really well-known in Southeast Asia and has good box office appeal. However, almost all of the films he made did not involve large investments. To borrow Zhang Yi's words, they are just a small effort.

Stephen Chow also wants to star in a blockbuster film.

"What do you mean, Mr. Zhang?" Zhou Xingchi looked at Zhang Yi and asked.

"We can discuss the details of the cooperation later. However, if we want to cooperate, the investment in the film must not be less than 50 million Hong Kong dollars." Zhang Yi said immediately.

With Zhang Yi's net worth, he is really not interested in investing less than 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Mr. Zhang, do you have any ideas? I wonder if you can tell me. 50 million Hong Kong dollars, I think Brother Qiang and the others will not refuse. After all, no matter how big the investment is in Mr. Zhang's movies, there is really no time to lose money.

." Zhou Xingchi said.

"I have all the ideas. But I don't know whether I will lose money." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "The World Cup is next year. I want to make a movie about football!"

"Football movie!?" Zhou Xingchi looked at Zhang Yi with some surprise. Football and sports competition movies don't seem to have appeared very often. This type is a bit biased.

"Yes! A movie about football." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "What kind of movie would it be if you combined kung fu with football and added special effects?"

"Kung fu, special effects, football?" Zhou Xingchi's eyes lit up. He obviously saw that Zhang Yi's film seemed to be preparing for the upcoming World Cup next year.

"The title of the movie is "Shaolin Football"!" Zhang Yi said calmly.

"Shaolin Football!" Zhou Xingchi seemed a little surprised and seemed to have thought of something. Then he looked at Zhang Yi with some anxiety and said, "Mr. Zhang, who is the leading actor in this movie?"

"Of course it's yours." Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"Thank you! Thank you!" When Zhou Xingchi heard this, he immediately beamed.

"Shaolin Soccer" is an extremely excellent film written, directed and starred by Zhou Xingchi. This film was a hit at the 21st Academy Awards. And in terms of box office, it is definitely not bad.

Zhang Yi actually even thought about making this movie bigger. The competition in the original version was a national competition. Here Zhang Yi wanted to make him participate in a world-class competition. However, forget about imagination. There are too many people who like football.

, if the film touches the taboos of some fans either explicitly or implicitly, or even intentionally or unintentionally, then the gains outweigh the losses.

This film has a good reputation and box office around the world. The special effects technology in it can be completed now, and it is definitely not a problem to shoot it in advance. Moreover, its shock level will definitely be much stronger.

Not long after Zhang Yi and Xu Ke's studio collaborated on the remake of Once Upon a Time, it was reported that he would invest in Xiao Hei again to shoot "Fast and Furious 2". This matter has not faded away, and it is also reported that he will cooperate with Jiahe to shoot a film.

, pushing Cheng Long to Hollywood.

But now, this matter has just begun, and it is reported that Zhang Yi and Yong Sheng will collaborate in a film, starring Zhou Xingchi.

Regarding "Speed", apart from providing the script, Zhang Yi left all other matters to Jiahe and the American Jiying Film Company. How to distribute the interests and obligations between the two parties, Zhang Yi was not involved. It is not so much Zhang Yi and Jiahe

The cooperation is better said to be a cooperation between two film companies, Jiahe Film Company and Jiying Film Company.

But "Shaolin Football" is different. This film does not involve Jiying Film Company. It can be said that it is completely a cooperation between Zhang Yi and Yongsheng Film Company.

The negotiations between the two parties went very smoothly. Zhang Yi did not bully others, and Yongsheng also made some concessions. After all, it was they who came to Zhang Yi for cooperation, not Zhang Yi who came to them.

If Zhang Yi doesn't contact them, he can find other film companies, and the film can still be filmed. Therefore, the initiative between the two parties lies entirely with Zhang Yi.

Since cooperation is a win-win situation, Yongsheng seems to have made some concessions, but it is still very profitable. And Zhang Yi can still do it even if he makes some concessions than Yongsheng.

It’s just that there’s no need, and you won’t be able to make any more money no matter how much you fight.

Those who eat alone will never last long.

Regarding the film "Shaolin Soccer", the starring role is naturally played by Zhou Xingchi, and it is impossible for Yongsheng not to ask Zhang Yi's opinion on the choice of the heroine.

Zhang Yi still knows a little bit about why Yongsheng asked the heroine so eagerly. Xiang Tai values ​​​​an actress, and Yongsheng naturally supports her. Moreover, this person is also Zhang Yi's family. She is regarded as one of the top ten sexy goddesses in Hong Kong.

Zhang Ming.

Zhang Yi had no idea whether she was suitable for the role played by Zhao Wei in the original version. After all, a great beauty was ruined beyond recognition. It doesn't matter whether the actor is beautiful or not.

Moreover, apart from the male protagonist, the most outstanding thing about the whole film is definitely not the female protagonist, but the supporting male characters.
