Chapter 338 Who stars?

Make American movies, make American money, and win American awards.

This is definitely a very happy thing. Therefore, Zhang Yi has great interest in filming "Forrest Gump".

Balidile doubted Zhang Yi's ability to control this type of film, and naturally others were no exception.

Jiying Film Company was about to start filming the novel "Forrest Gump" by Winston Glum. This was nothing at all. But this movie was related to Zhang Yi, and it immediately caused a huge stir.

of attention.

Zhang Yi did not attend the 61st Academy Awards ceremony, but he won the Oscar statuette again. As a Chinese, it was extremely sensational to win the Oscar for the second time. Moreover, both times, he won for the screenplay.

"Forrest Gump" was changed by Zhang Yi himself, which is nothing. After all, he just won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. Adapting a novel is obviously what he is good at.

But for this film, he is not only the screenwriter, but also the director.

Director, Zhang Yi can be regarded as an international director. No one will doubt his ability to control a film. Especially his control of big scenes, it can be said that few people in the world can compare with him. Whether it is "Myth"

", or the later "Mulan", it can be said that there are very few directors who can handle such war scenes.

It's one thing to be able to control commercial blockbusters, but it's another thing to be able to control literary and artistic plots.

Zhang Yi has always given people the impression that he is a commercial superfluous art. Although "The Love of Ghosts" tells a love story, it also involves special effects, so it is not a pure love movie.

What's more, Zhang Yi's three films have grossed a total of two billion US dollars at the box office, and they occupy three of the top five global box office seats. It would be difficult for a director like this not to be labeled as commercial.

After "Mulan", there has been no news about Zhang Yi's new film. Many movie fans are eager to see it. It is only reported from time to time that Zhang Yi has invested in several movies in Hong Kong. But there is no news about his own.

As soon as the Oscars ceremony came out, Zhang Yi once again won the statuette. While the media was getting excited, news about Zhang Yi's new film came out in the United States. This makes people have to suspect that Zhang Yi is taking advantage of this opportunity.

But "The Shawshank Redemption" swept the Oscars, but Zhang Yi did not attend. If he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, why not attend the Oscars awards ceremony?

No matter what, Zhang Yi's new film has been released. The media immediately reported it. Now, the world's media know that as long as there is news about Zhang Yi, there will be no worries about sales.

There are more and more news reports about Zhang Yi's new film "Forrest Gump", and movie fans are learning more about Zhang Yi's film.

But the more they learn about it, the more disappointed many people feel.

A movie about Americans, but also a story about congenital mental retardation. Especially movie fans in Southeast Asia and other places are obviously a little disappointed.

Zhang Yi's later works, that movie was not a big production, and the movie did not bring shocking enjoyment to people visually. Of course, I won't talk about "Jurassic Park". The last one was completely oriental ancient "Mulan"

", the shock of its war scenes is also unparalleled.

But this time, a film about a mentally retarded person was being made. Although he also participated in the Vietnam War, he did not have many roles. Everyone knows that if Zhang Yi wanted to make a film about the Vietnam War, he would never choose a mentally retarded protagonist. He wanted to film a big scene of the Vietnam War.

The protagonist must be like Rambo in "First Blood".

Amid disappointment, there is hope.

American movie fans are undoubtedly looking forward to it the most. However, the American media is not optimistic about Zhang Yi's filming of this film, and many media are there to pessimize it. However, Zhang Yi simply ignored it.

After staying at home for a few days, I took Li Xiao and others to Los Angeles again.

The script has been adapted by Zhang Yi, and Bali Diller is naturally responsible for the preparation of the crew. He at least has the title of producer and producer on this film.

"Boss, this is Mr. Winston Glum, the original author of the novel!" Bali Diller led a person to Zhang Yi's residence and immediately said to the person, "This is Zhang Yi, the boss of Jiying Film Company.

.”

"Hello!" Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Hello! You look younger than the rumors say." Winston Glum said with a smile, holding Zhang Yi's hand, the shock in his eyes not dissipating.

Naturally, he had heard of Zhang Yi. He was a very legendary figure. He was young, but he had created miracles one after another. Many people said that he was as talented as a monster.

He is a successful young man, but he has no trace of arrogance. He is approachable and approachable, making it difficult for people to feel disgusted. Is this his state of mind? Can practicing Chinese Kung Fu really cultivate one's moral character?

"Haha, the boss is only twenty-two years old now. He is naturally young." Upon hearing this, Balidile smiled and said.

Glum smiled and said: "It's hard to imagine that Mr. Zhang, who is famous all over the world, is only twenty-two years old. Although I have heard of it before, but as a Chinese saying goes: it is better to meet than to be famous."

"Mr. Winston Groom also knows Chinese?" Zhang Yi was a little surprised that Groom's last sentence was actually in Chinese, but it was a bit unfamiliar.

"Haha. I only know a few sentences and have some superficial understanding. I have just learned it for a short time. I only became interested in Chinese culture after watching Mr. Zhang's last film "Mulan". I used to think that I had never made a virgin.

Virtue is the earliest example of a heroine. But after reading your "Mulan" and doing some research, I found out that Hua Mulan was many years earlier than Joan of Arc!" Glum smiled.

"Boss, Mr. Winston Glum is here to hear about this film and also read the script!" Balidile immediately said the purpose of this time.

"Then let's read the script first." Zhang Yi nodded, and then said to Lin Xiao, "Go to the study and take down the script."

"Mr. Zhang, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just..." Winston Glum said awkwardly.

Zhang Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Winston Glum, I also write novels. I understand how you feel. If my novels are adapted into movies, I will be extremely interested. Whether it is a script adaptation,

It’s still the actor’s choice.”

"Haha, I forgot that Mr. Zhang is also a novel writer. I have not read your Chinese novels. But I have read "Jurassic Park", "Resident Evil", and the recent "Harry Potter"

"Especially after watching "Harry Potter", I was meditating, but I couldn't feel the magic element, and I once thought I was a Muggle who couldn't practice magic." Glum laughed when he heard this.

said.

Zhang Yi took the script from Lin Xiao and handed it to Glum. Glum was not polite and started reading quickly after taking it. Zhang Yi and Bali Diller did not disturb him and just sat quietly.

.

After a long time, Glum closed the script, took a deep breath, then squinted his eyes to recall for a moment, smiled, looked at Zhang Yi, and said: "As expected of the man who won the Oscar screenplay award twice, Mr. Zhang Yi adapted this

This script is very good, very good!”

"If Mr. Glum has no objection to the script, then we will shoot according to this script." Zhang Yi looked at Glum with a smile, and then asked, "I wonder what advice Mr. Glum has for actors?"

"Mr. Zhang, you are much more professional than me in this regard. I wonder who Mr. Zhang plans to cast as Forrest Gump?" Glum said with a smile.

"Tom Hanks!" Zhang Yi said lightly.

"Haha! I have watched "Future" starring Tom Hanks. It can make a 12-year-old kid suddenly grow up into a 36-year-old man very vividly. There is absolutely no problem with his acting skills. It's a pity that although this was nominated

The Best Actor at the Oscars was awarded to "The Shawshank Redemption" written by Zhang Yi!" Glum smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Zhang did not attend this Oscar ceremony, but I didn't expect to pay attention to it.

to him."

Zhang Yi smiled. If Glum had not said anything, Zhang Yi would not have thought of Tom Cruise starring in this movie. However, in Zhang Yi's memory, even if "The Shawshank Redemption" had not happened earlier,
Chapter completed!
