Chapter 96 The Name of Uncle Ying
Chapter 96
Uncle Ying's name
The day after Zhang Yi came back from Yongsheng, the filming of "Ip Man" resumed. This movie, which had been stopped several times, went much smoother this time without many twists and turns.
Even when the Academy Awards were held, Zhang Yi did not find time to attend, as he was busy filming "Ip Man". Of course, Zhang Yi might not attend if he had time. Not going would be Zhang Yi's responsibility.
It's determined by his acting style and personality traits, not because he didn't even get a single nomination.
Among Zhang Yi's Academy Awards this year, not a single award was nominated, which was a huge surprise. Of course, Zhang Yi only shot one movie, "Nightclub", and "Crazy Is Racing" will be released next year.
Moreover, everyone knows that "Crazy Racing" has such a high reputation that it will definitely have a place in next year's Academy Awards.
Zhang Yi did not go to this Academy Awards, but he became the absolute protagonist. All the films written by Zhang Yi had good box office and good reputation, but none of them was nominated for Best Screenplay. And "Nightclub" as
The first film to exceed 40 million, it failed directly and was not nominated for any awards.
Of course, some media have speculated that "Nightclub" is undoubtedly a good film, but it has a lot of criticisms, especially the full advertising placement, which reveals the naked atmosphere of money.
It exudes a disgusting smell of copper.
Although the Academy Awards does not favor literary and artistic films as much as the Golden Horse Awards, it cannot escape its discrimination against commercial films. Too many awards in the world are given to literary and artistic films.
Just like some people say they want to win awards and make artistic films, or they want to make money and make commercial films.
But Zhang Yi, a figure who is always at the forefront of the media, was not nominated for the Academy Awards this time, and many people complained about him. Many media reported it, took the opportunity to hype, and attracted attention. They even directly gave Zhang Yi a "Hong Kong"
The unjust king of film screenwriters.
The King of Injustice in Hong Kong movies! But no one thinks it is inappropriate. Zhang Yi has not received any screenwriting awards, or even nominations, but no screenwriter can compare with him. What is this if not The King of Injustice?
The Academy Awards did not give Zhang Yi a nomination, but they still sent a letter to invite Zhang Yi. But Zhang Yi was focused on filming "Ip Man", and he really didn't like to participate in any awards, so he didn't go because of the shame.
As a result, the media took this as an inference and concluded that Zhang Yi was very dissatisfied with not being nominated for the Academy Awards and protested in the name of not participating.
As long as it's not what Qianhu refers to, Zhang Yi has never cared much about the media's negative comments about him. As for other things, he doesn't even care.
He knows that if you ignore the media, after a period of time, it will lose its freshness and appeal, and they will cancel their attention and disappear automatically.
The filming of "Ip Man" was getting smoother and smoother, and just when it was about to wrap up, "Mr. Zombie" was announced to have finished filming and was entering post-production. A few days later, Cheng Long's "Police Story" also wrapped up.
After Zhang Yi's "Ip Man" is completed, Wu Yusen's "A Better Tomorrow" is still being filmed. It will take some time to see how it will look.
After half a month, "A Better Tomorrow" will be finished filming, but "Mr. Zombie" is already ready to be released.
"Mr. Zombie", a movie jointly invested by Zhang Yi and Hong Jinbao, was prepared before Hong Jinbao sold Debao to Pan Disheng, so this movie was not produced by Debao, but by Golden Harvest.
"Mr. Zombie" is a movie written by Zhang Yi, but it is not favored by everyone. Both people in the film industry and ordinary audiences are skeptical, and some media even once again threatened that it would be Zhang Yi's movie.
Yi's "Waterloo"!
But no matter how unfavorable it is, this movie written and invested by Zhang Yi is still very much anticipated.
On the premiere day of "Mr. Zombie", Zhang Yi, as a screenwriter and investor, was naturally embarrassed to be absent. Moreover, Hong Jinbao would not let him be absent.
Hong Jinbao is one of those who are not optimistic about "Mr. Zombie". Even at the beginning, he was not even willing to invest. Later, if he hadn't seen the success of Zhang Yi's "Crazy Racing" and Zhang Yi's show of not caring about it,
With such strong confidence in the film, he really would not invest in it.
"Mr. Zombie" is a movie in a parallel space that is still not popular among the public. However, it was first released in Taiwan and was released in Hong Kong only after it caused a sensation. It was also extremely popular at the box office, reaching more than 20 million yuan.
, ranking seventh on Hong Kong's annual box office list.
In the parallel space, more than 20 million is definitely a high box office. It's just a pity that Zhang Yi, a little butterfly, slapped me a few times at this time. The box office of more than 20 million seems really not that good. But I want to reach 2,000.
It is not easy to win the box office. Perhaps, only Zhang Yi is easy.
"Ayi, why do I feel a little unsure in my heart!" Hong Jinbao said to Zhang Yi next to him, "Zombie movies, in your words, are just for sale. Why do you want to make such movies?"
"What's on the street? Haha, maybe after "Mr. Zombie", he became a follower." Zhang Yi smiled and comforted Hong Jinbao, "Brother Sanmao, what are you worried about? I'm not worried at all.
What do you have to be afraid of?"
"You don't care whether the movie pays or not, but I do!" Hong Jinbao rolled his eyes at Zhang Yi and said.
"Why don't I care anymore? If this movie fails, who knows what those guys will write?" Zhang Yi smiled and said.
Upon hearing this, Hong Jinbao remembered that during this period, the media said that Zhang Yi's "Waterloo" would really come. So, he seemed to find some comfort in this matter, showing his white teeth to Zhang Yi, and smiled.
"Boss Zou from Jiahe came to me two days ago and wanted to make a sequel to Five Lucky Stars. He wanted me to ask you if you could take the time to write the script for the sequel. He also revealed in his words that he hoped that Aaron would have more roles in the sequel.
"Hong Jinbao said immediately.
Although he is Debao's pillar at this time, he still maintains a relationship with Jiahe. Hong Jinbao is like this, in fact, it is partly because Jiahe puts more resources on Cheng Long. And he, as Cheng Long's senior brother, does not
I was willing to compete with him, so Debao Company was born.
Zou Wenhuai wanted to make a sequel to The Five Lucky Stars, and also wanted to add Cheng Long's role. Instead of directly finding himself, he approached Hong Jinbao first. This move was clever. Hong Jinbao could not refuse, and he would not refuse. And it was Hong Jinbao who could not refuse.
Jin Bao came forward to find Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi naturally would not refuse. So, it is a certainty that Cheng Long's role in the sequel will increase.
"Brother Sanmao has spoken, of course there is no problem. I will send it to you in two days." Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"That's so embarrassing. I'd better get it from your place!" Hong Jinbao said.
"It's up to you, it's the same anyway!" Zhang Yi said immediately. Then he saw Lin Zhengying walking over.
"Ayi!"
Nowadays, Zhang Yi's identity is different, and there are not many people named "A Yi". Most of them are people Zhang Yi knew before. Lin Zhengying and others are naturally one of them.
Lin Zhengying was acquainted by Zhang Yi when he met Hong Jinbao. When the story of the Five Lucky Stars was told in the nightclub, he was also present. Moreover, he was not only the action director of the "Five Lucky Stars" with Yuan Biao, but also worked on the "Five Lucky Stars"
” starred in the role,
"Uncle Ying!" Zhang Yi responded with a smile.
"You kid, Uncle Ying, you call me old. Why don't you call Sanmao Uncle Sanmao? I've told you many times, I'm much younger than him." Lin Zhengying said with a slightly depressed look.
He said, "You're much younger, you're just two or three years old!" Hong Jinbao was unhappy when he heard this. "You're two or three years younger, you're much younger!" Lin Zhengying said seriously.
"Haha!" Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Maybe after this movie, the name Uncle Ying will be implemented."
In "Mr. Zombie", the original character played by Lin Zhengying was called Uncle Jiu, but here Zhang Yi changed it to Uncle Ying in a bad way.
Of course, Zhang Yi is not the only one who calls Lin Zhengying Uncle Ying. Zhang Yi mostly calls him Uncle Ying because of his past life. Others call him Uncle Ying, probably because when Lin Zhengying guest starred in many movies, most of them were Hong Jinbao and others.
People’s masters, elders, etc., such as "People Are Scary" and so on.
"What are you talking about? Uncle Ying looks depressed when he talks about it." Yuen Biao is not the main creator of the movie, but he is familiar with Hong Jinbao and others and has a close relationship, so he will naturally come to support him.
Originally, he was teasing Lin Zhengying by calling him "Uncle Ying", but he didn't expect that Lin Zhengying's already depressed face would become even more depressed as soon as he said this.
Chapter completed!
