Chapter 97: Martial Arts Building (1)
Chapter 97
Guoshu Building (Part 1)
Although "Mr. Zombie" was produced nearly two years in advance by Zhang Yi, there are not many differences in it. Uncle Jiu, played by Lin Zhengying, changed his vest and was called Uncle Ying. The other actors and character names remained the same.
Qian Xiaohao plays Qiu Sheng, Xu Guanying plays Wencai, Ren Tingting is also played by Li Saifeng, the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu is played by Wang Xiaofeng, and the security captain Ah Wei is still played by Lou Nanguang.
Of course, Yuen Hua was cast as Sato in "Ip Man" by Zhang Yi, so he didn't play the zombie who couldn't tell who the actor was. However, he is still here this time.
When Xu Guanying was cast in "Mr. Zombie", she was asked countless times by the media why she took the role of Zhang Yi. After all, due to the media's hype, in everyone's eyes, the relationship between Zhang Yi and the Xu brothers was not good.
Xu Guanjie and New Arts City have become close, and several consecutive "Best Partner" movies have failed in the hands of Zhang Yi's movies. Xu Guanwen even rejected the first movie directed by Zhang Yi, but he did not expect that the movie was extremely popular in Hong Kong.
, became the first movie to exceed 40 million. After that, Zhang Yi even used "Crazy Racing" to beat his movie "Teppanyaki" without any power to fight back.
To sum up, it seems that there is really something wrong. Of course, it is not Xu Guanying.
Why did Xu Guanying take the role? Zhang Yi didn't know. When he was asked by the media why he wanted to cast Xu Guanying, Zhang Yi smiled and asked why he couldn't be cast.
Of course, when the media questioned his grievances with the Xu brothers, Zhang Yi even laughed.
Can "The Voice" have Xu Guanjie as its mentor? Why can't "Mr. Zombie" have Xu Guanying? He also denies having any grudges with the Xu brothers.
"Mr. Zombie" combines comedy, supernatural, action, and horror, and the combination is perfect. The audience is sometimes laughing, sometimes nervous, and sometimes scared. This feeling cannot be enjoyed at the same time in other movies.
The scripts written by Zhang Yi seem to be somewhat different from other movies. It is not the protagonist who is outstanding. The most outstanding person in "Mr. Zombie" is undoubtedly Lin Zhengying. He plays the Maoshan Taoist priest vividly, especially when he does things, and he is orderly. Just watch the movie
, Zhang Yi even wondered if Lin Zhengying was really a Maoshan warlock. No wonder he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor that year.
Of course, Qian Xiaohao and Xu Guanying are both outstanding, and newcomer Lou Nanguang also performs very well. With his appearance nearly two years in advance, it is unclear whether Lou Nanguang can be nominated for Best Newcomer and Best Supporting Actor.
If the actors are outstanding, the movie will naturally be a success.
Although Zhang Yi wrote and invested in the movie, he didn't pay much attention to it after attending the premiere. This may be his habit, that is, he didn't pay much attention to the movies he shot after the premiere, let alone investing in the screenwriter.
As long as you know success, Zhang Yi feels that it doesn't make any difference if you know the extent of success. It seems that he can't find any joy and fun of success under this kind of success.
Besides, he was very busy during this time.
He is busy with the post-production of "Ip Man" and starting a technology company with Huo Zhenyu.
"The movie that Mr. Zhang's screenwriter invested in has been very popular recently! It must be making a lot of money again." Huo Zhenyu looked at Zhang Yi and said with a smile, "I don't understand. Mr. Zhang's movies are not profitable.
It’s a small amount, and the money comes quickly. Why not start your own movie company, but invest in a technology company with me?”
"Haha!" Zhang Yi smiled and said, "I said, I am not optimistic about Hong Kong movies. Do you believe it? Hong Kong movies are limited by the market, and it is difficult to develop. And Hong Kong film companies are not very competitive.
You are fighting for the market, even at the expense of both sides. If I open a film company, I don’t know how many film companies will join forces to suppress it. Now is not the right time. When I want to make a movie, I need to find a film company to cooperate. If the film is released, other film companies will
Shao Hui will fight with me on any good movies to divert the box office."
Huo Zhenyu looked at Zhang Yi with interest. Although he didn't pay much attention to the film industry, he also knew that Zhang Yi was a well-known figure in the film industry at this time. When his films were released, few people were willing to compete with him at the same time.
Last time, New Art City's "Best Partner" and Jiahe's "Teppanyaki" failed in Zhang Yi's "Crazy Racing". Now, as long as it is not a special schedule and Zhang Yi's movie can be avoided, it will
Choose to avoid.
The box office battle index of Zhang Yi's movies is too high, and no film company is willing to fight with him. Who can have trouble with money?
"But technology companies are different. As Mr. Deng said, technology is the primary productive force. With the development of technology and the progress of society, technology products will surely fill every corner of our lives. Maybe one day, everyone
Every family has a TV, or even a TV in each room, and everyone has a mobile phone, or even multiple mobile phones. As for computers, let alone computers. What we have to do now is to stay ahead of the times and stand in front of the times.
Be a pioneer in the field and build a brand with the latest products.”
"Haha, no wonder you said you should pay attention to product development and research. Technology products really need to be ahead of others." Huo Zhenyu smiled, raised his glass and said, "Happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!" Zhang Yi also raised his glass and smiled.
"Some time ago, my family gave me a sum of money to do some business on my own. The money is not very much. Does Mr. Zhang have any suggestions?" Huo Zhenyu said.
Zhang Yi looked at Huo Zhenyu and naturally knew the purpose of what he said, so he thought about it and said, "I want to open a security company recently. I wonder if Mr. Huo is interested in investing in it?"
"Security company? Can you tell me more specifically?" Upon hearing this, Huo Zhenyu looked at Zhang Yi and said.
"The security company mainly provides professional security services, special guard services, parking lot management services, security engineering, and even home anti-theft alarm systems and other services. It can provide security services for corporate units, high-end residences, financial units, shopping malls, and high-end hotels and restaurants.
.You know, the public security in Hong Kong is not very good. For example, if our technology companies develop extremely advanced products, they must naturally prevent others from stealing them, right?"
Zhang Yi said, in fact, he felt that he had too few people under his command, so he couldn't always ask people from Xin Ngee Ann to handle some things, right? Moreover, it was impossible to ask them to handle some things. He didn't want to get too involved with the people in the club.
.
"The security company seems to be competing for business with community martial arts schools? Your two bodyguards seem to be from Wing Chun, right?" Huo Zhenyu said after hearing this.
Most of the people who watch the scenes in Hong Kong are people from associations, while most private bodyguards go to major martial arts schools in Hong Kong. Opening a security company does mean to compete with them for business.
"Most of the places that clubs look at are nightclubs, which don't conflict much with our interests. As for the major martial arts schools, we can work hard on the personnel recruited from the company. Students from the police academy, retired armed police officers, and of course the most important ones are those from major martial arts schools.
Apprentice!" Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Actually, I really want to build a Chinese martial arts building and invite all the major martial arts schools in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even mainland China to integrate fighting, fitness, health care, and even social interaction. Not only can
Promoting Chinese martial arts can also make money. It can also be combined with a security company. Unfortunately, we haven't found a suitable place yet."
"Guoshu Building? You want to bring the martial arts world together in one place!" Huo Zhenyu was a little shocked when he heard Zhang Yi's words.
"Guojutsu has acting, fighting and training methods. It not only protects oneself, but also keeps fit and healthy. Children as young as three years old and as old as sixty years old can practice it. It is not just about fighting and killing! If it is managed well
, when the time comes, a city will build a Chinese martial arts building, gather all the Chinese martial arts gyms in each city in one place, and hold competitions. What kind of rankings have been achieved, like Taekwondo and Karate, where black belts and white belts are divided. I, Zhang Yi, don’t believe it.
, Chinese martial arts can still be upstaged by those little Japanese and stick bullshit boxing skills."
As Zhang Yi spoke, he seemed to recall that in his previous life, Japanese karate and stick-style taekwondo were almost popular all over the world, while Chinese martial arts were increasingly declining.
