Chapter 399: The Chinese at the Oscars (Part 1)

Zhang Yi and King He Gambling have no friendship, and sending invitations to the wedding was just out of politeness. After all, Hong Kong and Macau are not far away. King He Gambling's status in Macau is extremely high, and it would be inappropriate not to invite him.

Of course, inviting is one thing, coming or not is another. But Zhang Yi didn't expect that King He Du would actually come in person.

There is no doubt that He Gambling King is a legendary figure, but of course there is still some gap between his legendary status and today's Zhang Yi.

Before Zhang Yi had time to look for him, he took advantage of the opportunity to come to his door. Zhang Yi could also guess the purpose of his coming. I guess the purpose of coming was the same as that of looking for him.

"Thank you Mr. He for coming to my Zhang Yi's wedding. Please forgive me for any slightness!" Zhang Yi said with a smile when he saw King Du He.

King He Du was not young, but he was full of energy. Seeing Zhang Yi come in, he did not show off, but stood up, smiled, and cupped his hands with Zhang Yi and said: "Where! Where! Mr. Zhang can invite me He, that's all for you to see."

Come on. How could I not come over? I had something to do with Mr. Zhang, but I was afraid of affecting Mr. Zhang’s wedding, so I planned to pay him a visit in the future."

"Haha, Mr. He is polite. Although Xiao Min and I are newlyweds, we can be considered an old couple after being together for more than ten years. Mr. He has something to do with me, how about we talk about it now?"

"I'm looking for Mr. Zhang, just for one thing?" He Duwang said.

"Oh? What is it?" Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"That small aircraft carrier that Mr. Zhang bought in Russia! Although the military equipment inside has been removed, the hull is huge." King He Du looked at Zhang Yi and said, "I heard that Mr. Zhang bought it for the purpose of filming.

A movie?”

"Indeed!" Zhang Yi nodded and said immediately.

"Mr. Zhang, have you ever thought about what you plan to do with the ship after filming the movie? It can't be used as a decoration, and it can't be converted into a passenger ship or a cargo ship, right?" He Duwang said immediately.

"Haha, what's Mr. He's suggestion?" Zhang Yi said with a smile. Sure enough, he came here for this matter.

"Instead of leaving it empty after filming, why don't you and I work together to convert it into a gambling boat? I believe that with the hull of the small aircraft carrier and the gimmicks, it will definitely be able to build the largest and most luxurious casino in the world." He Gambling King said with a smile.

.He couldn't see anything from Zhang Yi's face, but he was sure that Zhang Yi would not refuse.

"We can talk about this matter!" Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"How about we leave the specific matters to the people below to discuss?" He Duwang smiled and said, "I wonder when the filming of your movie will start and when it will be completed?"

"The ship is still being refitted, and I don't know the specific progress. And I'm not sure when the filming of the movie will start or when it will be completed. I can't say for sure. I guess it will take two or three years." Zhang Yi thought.

He thought about it and said.

"The days are long. There is no rush in this matter." King He Du smiled and said.

The intention to cooperate has been confirmed. The purpose of King He Du's trip has been achieved. As for the details, he and Zhang Yi do not need to ask. Because this matter is a win-win matter, the distribution of benefits has already been determined by the two of them.

It doesn't matter anymore.

The connection of interests is the most important.

Zhang Yi's influence in Hong Kong is unparalleled, and King Ho's influence in Macau is the same. If their interests are linked together, their influence will increase.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons. Another important reason is that boat gambling is really profitable.

Zhang Yi's wedding was well known to everyone in the world. Countless media even conducted exclusive interviews with celebrities who attended Zhang Yi's wedding, specifically talking about Zhang Yi's wedding.

This matter did not gradually subside until more than half a month later, after the Oscar nomination list came out. And during these more than half a month, Zhang Yi has been on the island, even after all the guests who attended his wedding have left.

He, Zhou Huimin and his family all lived a leisurely life on the island.

As for this Oscar nomination, Zhang Yi's "Inception" is naturally extremely dazzling. The nominations include Best Director, Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects, Best Sound Editing, and Best Film Editing.

Eight Oscar nominations including Best Cinematography.

Of course, these are just nominations, and many awards are not popular, especially Best Picture and Best Director. However, the biggest competitor is also a film produced by Zhang Yi's Jiying Film Company-"Schindler"

"List"!

"Schindler's List" was nominated for twelve awards including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

There is no doubt that in this Oscar, no matter what the result is, Jiying Film Company is undoubtedly the biggest winner with these two films.

It can be said that Zhang Yi single-handedly contributed to "Schindler's List". Moreover, he gave Spielberg a great deal of help.

The film company that originally rejected this film already regretted it when "Schindler's List" came out and the global box office reached more than 300 million US dollars. Who would have thought that this film, which is not a commercial film, could reach such a high level?

box office.

Who would have thought? Of course it was Zhang Yi. As soon as the film’s box office hit, everyone was impressed by Zhang Yi’s grasp of the market.

Now, "Schindler's List" has been nominated for twelve Oscars, which directly caused the film company's executives to be furious. They refused to allow Spielberg to leave and find the executives of Jiying Film Company, which directly made him a jerk.

Although Hollywood pays attention to business, it does not mean that any film company does not value awards. Box office and awards are indispensable for a film company.

Zhang Yi received eight Oscar nominations for "Inception", which is even more shocking than the Oscar nomination for "Forrest Gump", especially for Chinese people.

Because from the front to the backstage, the main creators of this movie are all Chinese. This is a truly Chinese-language movie. And the best proof is that among the Oscar nominees for Best Foreign Language Film, "Inception" is included!

This film is undoubtedly the most dazzling discourse film, both at the box office and in terms of awards.

Of course, "Jurassic Park" also won several Oscars, but the director was Chinese and the starring role was Chinese, but there were many more Western actors than Chinese actors in it. It can't be said to be a Chinese film at all. What's more, in

The real protagonist is the dinosaur.

But "Inception" is different.

The 66th Oscars of 1994 were held on March 21 at the Los Angeles Music Center.

Zhang Yi didn’t return to Hong Kong until mid-March. This time around, Zhang Yi knew how important the Oscars would be for “Schindler’s List” and “Inception”, so it was probably unlikely. But he still felt

join.
