Chapter 400 The Chinese at the Oscars (Part 2)
Zhang Yi saw Bali Diller who was picking him up at the airport. The guy was smiling all the time. In the past few years, Jiying Film Company has been extremely successful in the Oscars.
Jiying Film Company is developing very fast in Hollywood. Although it does not have the background of several major film companies, in terms of power, it is definitely much stronger.
Not to mention awards, Jiying Film Company has never returned home empty-handed from Oscars in recent years. As for the box office, look at the global box office list and see how much of it is produced by Jiying Film Company.
Two movies with a box office of over one billion US dollars were both produced by Jiying Film Company, and the director and screenwriter are also the bosses of Jiying Film Company.
Jiying Film Company is extremely popular in the world. If there is a film company that the big names in Hollywood want to cooperate with most, it is undoubtedly Jiying Film Company.
Jiying Film Company's movies now feel like they are either box office hits or have been nominated for numerous awards.
Whether an actor stars in a movie that is a hit at the box office or in a movie that is nominated for multiple awards, there are many benefits to the actor himself. At least, his own value will increase a lot.
"It seems you are in a good mood." Zhang Yi said to Balidile with a smile.
"Anyone in my position would be in a good mood." Balidile said with a smile. At this time, he is no longer the same as when he just jumped from Universal to Jiying.
At that time, Balidil was under great pressure. No one could understand it at the time, and many media even said a lot of unpleasant things. But now, with the development of Jiying Film Company, Balidil has become a target of the entire Hollywood.
Diller's cynicism turned to jealous admiration.
It’s impossible not to admire it. Zhang Yi bought a film company that was about to go bankrupt and renamed it Jiying Film Company, then poached Bali Diller. He gave Bali Diller a huge salary and became the shopkeeper himself.
Of course, the current development of Jiying Film Company has a lot to do with Zhang Yi himself. But I have to say that it is Bali Diller who really plays a key role.
Except for a few movies and a few scripts, everything Zhang Yi gave to Jiying Film Company was all due to Bali Diller.
In Jiying, Bali Diller's abilities have been fully utilized. This is something he could not move to in his previous film company. And everyone also admires Zhang Yi. His vision is too vicious.
"You have a lot of people here this time?" Balidile looked at the people behind him and said immediately.
This time, Zhang Yi came to Los Angeles with, in addition to Zhou Huimin, Zhou Runfa, Gong Li, Hong Jinbao, Yuan Biao, etc., as well as the photographer of "Inception".
The photographer of "Inception" is still somewhat famous in Hollywood, but of course not very famous. And his fame is mainly because of Zhang Yi. He shot the sequels of several Zhang Yi movies. Moreover, he is still Zhang Yi
One of the main persons in charge of Jiying Special Effects Company.
He is Lan Naicai. This is the director who directed the third part of "Resident Evil" and the second part of "Jurassic Park". But who knows, he started out as a record clerk, then worked as a camera assistant, and then
I just started working as a photographer, and finally I turned from a photographer into a director.
Zhang Yi's filming of "Inception" this time involved a lot of special effects and a lot of props. As for the use of props, Lan Naicai is definitely very good in Hong Kong. Therefore, he not only served as the director of this movie
The photographer is actually the assistant director of the film.
But maybe he didn't expect that he would actually be nominated for an Oscar for Best Cinematography for this movie.
The sound effects of this film were made by Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui. They were also nominated for Best Sound Effects and Best Sound Editing. Therefore, Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui also came. Of course, in terms of the film's sound effects,
Zhang Yi also contributed a lot, but he didn’t sign his name.
"There are still some who haven't come." Zhang Yi smiled and said. What he said was that the number of people he brought was too few.
It is true that someone did not come. Neither Simon Yam nor Tony Leung came.
"I heard that this year's Best Actor, Tom Hanks, is very popular for winning the Best Actor again?" Zhang Yi suddenly asked, "I remember that he was also shortlisted last year, but he didn't win."
“The one who received the highest demand besides him is Liam Neeson in Schindler’s List.” Bali Diller said with a smile, “Whichever of them wins the Oscar, it will be a good thing for Jiying Film Company.
.”
"Haha. You mean "Once Upon a Time in Philadelphia" is also produced by Jiying Film Company?" Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"Haha, I took it from Columbia Pictures." Balidile said with a smile.
When Zhang Yi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Well done."
Zhang Yi knew from the memory in his mind that "Once Upon a Time in Philadelphia" was indeed produced by Columbia, and Tom Hanks really became emperor with this movie. But he didn't expect that Bali Diller would actually take the copyright to this movie.
It was snatched over.
At this time, Columbia Pictures is probably going to vomit blood.
Zhang Yi's residence in Los Angeles is not so lively, but it is always managed, so naturally all of them live there.
Most of Hong Jinbao and others were not here for the first time, and they were very casual.
Zhang Yizheng, Hong Jinbao and others were chatting and laughing in the hall, but at this moment Lin Xiao came in and whispered to Zhang Yin: "Boss, Master Wang Zhe is here."
Zhang Yi glanced at Lin Xiao, then nodded, stood up and walked out.
"Master Wang, why don't you go in and sit down?" Zhang Yi looked at Wang Zhe and said immediately.
"Master Zhang, I'm afraid my master is dying. I heard you came to Los Angeles and wanted to meet you." Wang Zhe said directly without being polite to Zhang Yi.
"Master Huang?" Zhang Yi was startled and said immediately, "We'll go right away."
Zhang Yi did not hesitate and immediately left.
"Master Huang has always been in good health, why did he fall so suddenly?" Zhang Yi asked his doubts on the way to the car. When he got married, Huang Xinzhuang, Wang Zhe and other Hongmen boxers came to have a wedding banquet, but he didn't look at it at the time.
Something went wrong.
Although Huang Xinzhuang is over ninety years old, if he has practiced martial arts to his level, if nothing unexpected happens, living over a hundred years will not be a problem at all.
"Master met a mainland boxer at your wedding and learned a set of inedia skills from them. After I came back, I tried to practice it, but I didn't expect that it would cause an old injury from back then." Wang Zhe said with a sigh.
"Master Huang? Doesn't he know that Du Xinwu died of old injuries in his later years due to practicing the Bigu Kung Fu? Du Xinwu was a master who had been holding pills for a long time. His practice of Bigu would cause old injuries, not to mention that Master Huang couldn't move them
Although Qi, blood and bigu can excrete impurities in the body, if the void is not broken and the spirit is not broken, it will not be able to penetrate into the body, and practicing it will be harmful and useless." Zhang Yi said with some sigh.
"Hey!" Wang Zhe sighed, a little annoyed.
Zhang Yi could tell that although many of Wang Zhe's senior brothers had achieved enlightenment, none of them had reached Huang Xinzhuang's kung fu level. Huang Xinzhuang was the authority among their senior brothers. He practiced Bigu.
Gong, no one knows how to persuade.
When Zhang Yi saw Huang Xinzhuang, he had lost his former grace, was depressed, and had run out of energy.
"I never thought that I would be able to see Master Zhang before I left. I have no regrets in this life. I heard from Wang Zhe that you were coming to Los Angeles to attend the Oscars, so I took the liberty of asking Wang Zhe to invite you." Huang Xinzhuang
I saw Zhang Yi forced a smile.
"Master Huang, I won't talk about this anymore. I heard that you don't want to go to the hospital, so why bother. Nowadays, with the advanced technology, your injuries may not be hopeless." Zhang Yi sighed and said.
"Haha. Master Zhang, you and I are both practicing boxing. How could you not know your own body?" Huang Xinzhuang smiled and then said self-deprecatingly, "I didn't expect that I would also follow Du Xinwu's old path. Master Zhang,
Your boxing skills are higher than mine, can you tell me, can people really live without grains?"
"Of course there is such a thing as fasting. It's just that many people have misunderstood it. Not eating or drinking means not eating grain. Moreover, the time of fasting should not be too long. It is just to excrete impurities in the body." Zhang Yi said immediately, "It's not subtle.
The environment is not suitable for fasting."
"Enter the subtle world? With a clear mind, you can see your surname, and you can see the Tathagata? Is there really such a state? Has Master Zhang already reached this state?" Huang Xinzhuang looked at Zhang Yi, his eyes suddenly brightened.
When Zhang Yi saw Huang Xinzhuang's shining eyes, his heart suddenly sank and he said: "I haven't reached this realm yet, but I have touched the threshold. I believe this realm is not a legend."
When Huang Xinzhuang heard this, he smiled and closed his eyes.
