Chapter [-] Kung Fu Movie

The popularity of "Ip Man" in the mainland has been amazing, and there are countless people queuing up to buy tickets every day.When people meet, it seems that the previous "Have you eaten" has been changed to "Have you seen it".Compared with "Shaolin Temple" back then, it doesn't do much.

Perhaps Wing Chun is not as famous as Shaolin Temple in mainland China, but the movie itself is undoubtedly more enjoyable.Moreover, there is another most important reason, "Shaolin Temple" is a movie based on the thirteen stick monks saving the king of Tang Dynasty, and the story in it is naturally a movie from the Sui and Tang Dynasties.Too far away from now.

But "Ip Man" is different. It tells about the events of the War of Resistance in the Republic of China. It has only been a few decades, and many people who experienced the War of Resistance are still alive. They all remember that shameful history, and the hatred for Little Japan , many of which have not yet dissipated.

A small Japanese movie, although this movie is not a mainstream movie, but it is more attractive than a mainstream movie.Because this movie is clearly more entertaining.What the mainland lacks today is such movies.Natural sensation.

Once "Ip Man" was screened, everyone knew about Ip Man and Wing Chun.Many of them want to practice martial arts and ask around where to teach Wing Chun.During this period of time, many people from the Sun Family Taiji Research Association also came to ask questions.

"A movie can actually cause such a sensation. Wing Chun may be known to many people in the south, but in the north they are not practitioners, so maybe they have never heard of it. I didn't expect that your movie would make Wing Chun famous. I heard about it in the streets of the capital. Many people even went to various martial arts halls to inquire about learning Wing Chun." Master Sun Jianyun said with a smile.

"Hehe, Bruce Lee used movies back then to let the world know about Chinese Kungfu. Kungfu movies really played an inestimable role in promoting Chinese boxing." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

These days, he has been staying at the Sun Family Taiji Research Association to exchange boxing skills with the masters of the various Sun sects.I still know something about the popularity of "Ip Man" in mainland China. After all, many people have come to the Sun Family Taiji Research Association to inquire.

"Have you ever thought about making a movie about Sun Style Taijiquan? A few years ago, "Shaolin Temple" caused a sensation. Although there are still many people in the martial arts circle who scoff at performance-style boxing, they have to admit that it is very important for boxing. The dissemination of martial arts is of great benefit." Master Sun Jianyun said with a sigh, and said, "It is no longer a time of war, and pure martial arts has become a shackle for the development of boxing. At the beginning, the second brother was unwilling to perform, and the Sports Committee There was a lot of conflict."

Zhang Yi naturally knew something about this.At the beginning, Mr. Sun Cunzhou was unrivaled in contemporary martial arts. I don’t know how many famous masters defeated him. The sports committee invited him to come out of the mountain many times, but he repeatedly refused. He even went to Shanghai. It is not acceptable to force Mr. Sun Cunzhou to perform on stage.

"Heroes in troubled times, thugs in prosperous times. But boxing training methods, fighting methods, and performances are indispensable. I am a descendant of the Sun Clan, and I am naturally duty-bound to carry forward Sun Clan Tai Chi. However, if you abandon fighting methods for the sake of spreading boxing skills, martial arts will sooner or later It will become dance! As for movies, of course they will be made, and many will be made," Zhang Yi said immediately.Thinking of some things in my previous life, I feel a little lonely.

"Performance and martial arts really need to find a balance point. Otherwise, many boxing skills may be lost with the passage of time." Master Sun Jianyun nodded.Immediately said.

Not very likely, but certain.Even Huang Feihong died because of his second son's taboo when he was in troubled times. He believed that the practice of martial arts was unknown, and he did not pass on his skills to his descendants.But in today's peaceful and prosperous world, how many people are unwilling to pass on Kung Fu to future generations.

Martial arts practitioners are full of vigor and refuse to be humiliated. If the kung fu is not mastered, they may hurt people or even kill people. It's okay in troubled times, but in prosperous times, you have to eat guns.

Therefore, now we want to promote boxing and perform more, but if we don't find the balance between the two, we will be like Zhang Yi in the parallel world in his previous life. Come less and less.

Regarding the filming of Sun's Tai Chi, Zhang Yi naturally didn't just talk about it casually. Both Sun Lutang and Sun Cunzhou are very legendary and have great filming value.However, Zhang Yi himself does not want to shoot biographies anymore.

During the few days at the Sun Family Taiji Research Association, Zhang Yi exchanged boxing skills with the masters of the Sun family and gained a lot.However, it was time to return to Hong Kong.After all, Hong Kong still has a lot of things waiting for itself.

When Zhang Yi returned to Hong Kong this time, besides the masters of the Sun family, there was also Li Lianjie.Li Lianjie's master, Wu Bin, has a good relationship with Master Sun Jianyun. When he returned to Hong Kong this time, Master Sun Jianyun specially asked Zhang Yi to take care of Li Lianjie.

For this, Zhang Yi naturally would not refuse.Regardless of the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha, Zhang Yi will not let go of Li Lianjie's potential.In the parallel space of the previous life, among the future kung fu stars, Zhang Yi's favorite movies are not those of Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, let alone Donnie Yen's, but Li Lianjie.

And he is an important figure Zhang Yi intends to spread Chinese martial arts through movies.He undoubtedly has an advantage over Hong Jinbao and others, because he basically knows traditional Chinese martial arts. According to Yuan Heping's evaluation in his previous life, he is an encyclopedia of kung fu.Although most of them are performance-style, there are still some ideas in the performance and style of play.Whether it is to show the style of play or perform in filming, he can undoubtedly do it.

When Zhang Yi and others returned to Hong Kong, it was already December of 85, and "Face Changing", co-produced by him and Lei Daheng, had already been screened in major theaters in Hong Kong for a few days.

This film, coordinated by Zhang Yi, was screened simultaneously in Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas, and Lei Daheng's Golden Princess Cinemas.Although Zhang Yi didn't make the premiere of this film, but this point is still marked with his mark.However, this time he, as a screenwriter investor, did not overwhelm the director as before.

This film is the second collaboration between Zhang Yi and Wu Yusen. Although it is written by Zhang Yi, this film is like "The True Colors of a Hero" and has Wu Yusen's personal style. The movie's release is getting louder and louder.

Wu Yusen once again proved his ability, and also attracted the attention of Hollywood producers with this movie.

Zhang Yi asked Lin Xiao to make arrangements for the masters of the Sun family and Li Lianjie, and then prepare for the start of "Mythology".

Now, the crew has already been set up, the studio has been completed, the actors are in place, and the official shooting is short.

However, before the movie started, it was approached by Lei Daheng.

"You said that there are several film studios in Hollywood who want to represent "Face Changing"?" Zhang Yi looked at Lei Daheng, saw him nod, then smiled, and said, "Boss Lei can handle this matter on his own. I want to let Boss Lei do it." With the ability to do business, one can naturally pursue the maximization of profits.”

"Hehe, the premise of maximizing profits is an understanding of the film's popularity in the European and American markets. Mr. Zhang's understanding of the European and American film markets is second to none in the Hong Kong film and television circle. This film was also written by Mr. Zhang. The next time I came here, I just wanted to hear Mr. Zhang’s estimate of the box office of this film in the European and American markets.” Lei Daheng smiled and said, “Those filmmakers proposed two plans, one is to buy out directly, and the other is to Box office stratification."

When Zhang Yi heard it, he immediately understood.Previously, many Hong Kong films were released in North America in the form of buyouts, but both "Resident Evil" and "The Storm" earned more by way of box office dividends.

Whether it is more cost-effective to buy out, or the box office dividend is more cost-effective, the key is naturally how much box office the film can win in North America.

"I haven't watched this movie yet, but with Wu Yusen's ability, it must have achieved the effect I expected. In my estimation, the box office of this movie in North America should not be as high as that of Debao's "The Storm" "Poor." Zhang Yi thought for a while and said.

"If that's the case, then we can get more by way of box office dividends." Lei Daheng said immediately.

"With the way of box office dividends, Hollywood filmmakers are definitely not as active as buyouts in terms of publicity. However, there are many ways to distribute dividends. Boss Lei might as well distribute dividends in the way of first high and then low." Zhang Yi said.He is still optimistic about the box office of "Face Changing" in North America.

"Mr. Zhang meant that at the beginning, the higher the box office, the more layers. After reaching a certain level, the higher the box office, the lower the share gradually, to stimulate them to increase publicity?" Lei Daheng said when he heard it. Zhang Yi nodded, then said with a smile, "Hehe, this method is good." (To be continued...)
