Chapter [-] Going to America Again

Get started first!

There is no shortage of unique vision of filmmakers in Hong Kong.Countless film companies approached Zhang Yi, wanting to cooperate with him to turn "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" into a movie.Among them are Shaw Brothers, which has almost ceased production, and New Art City and Golden Harvest, which are still in the limelight.It was Yongsheng of the Xiangshi brothers who expressed their intentions.

However, it was obvious that they were much slower than Hong Jinbao.

Immediately, Hong Jinbao became high-profile, directly announcing that the copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was taken down, and its adaptation was also put on the agenda, and the filming followed immediately.

However, Zhang Yi ignored these.He is already preparing to go to the United States with Zhou Huimin to film "The Love of Ghosts".

Zhang Yi didn't change much in "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts", the background didn't change to Hong Kong, and he was still in the United States.Except that the male and female protagonists were changed to Chinese, the rest did not even change their names.

Participating in "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts" was not because Zhang Yi wanted to become an actor on a whim, but because he promised Zhou Huimin at the beginning.As for why Zhang Yi didn't change the background together, it's nothing more than troublesome. If the film is all Chinese, its influence will inevitably not be as good.

Zhang Yi not only wants to use this film to earn money from those ghosts, but also wants to promote Zhou Huimin to the world.

Of course, in addition to filming the film, this trip to the United States also has to promote "Myth".

The distribution of "Myth" in North America was captured by Fox, and the conditions he gave were extremely favorable.The higher the box office, the higher Zhang Yi gets.Now that the movie was filmed in the United States, it was not difficult to promote "Myth" by the way.

What's more, "Mythology" Zhang Yi gave a lot of expectations, hoping that this film with pure oriental culture can succeed in the United States.

During this trip to the United States, many people accompanied him, besides Li Xiao and others, Xu Liang also brought many people with him.And his apprentice Luo Shukai was among them.

Zhang Yi didn't want Luo Shukai to accompany him, but he didn't force him to stay.Because of what happened last time, Luo Shukai has a knot in his heart, if he doesn't untie it as soon as possible.It will definitely affect the practice of boxing.

"Ayi, can I speak English well?" On the plane, Zhou Huimin asked Zhang Yi worriedly.

"No problem. It's really not possible. During the filming, the dialogue will be in Cantonese. Anyway, it will be dubbed later." Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"But this will inevitably affect the cooperation with other actors." Zhou Huimin said immediately.

"Hehe, it's okay. If it's because of language communication problems, we won't be able to cooperate. Then many scenes that speak into the air will not be able to be filmed." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

Many plots in it were originally in front of you.But you have to turn a blind eye and say a lot of dialogue. This is undoubtedly a test of acting skills, especially in the eyes. If you are not careful, you will make mistakes.

After getting off the plane, Fox staff will receive you.This also saved Zhang Yi a lot of trouble.

"Mr. Zhang, welcome to America." Fox's person in charge of reception said to Zhang Yi with a smile.

"Hehe, it's Mr. Robert. Hello." Zhang Yi said with a smile.The person who came, Zhang Yi met in Hong Kong, was also the guy who persuaded Fox executives to offer extremely high conditions.Won the distribution rights of "Myth" in North America.

"Mr. Zhang's entourage is really quite a lot. It seems like the rumors in Hong Kong are true. Mr. Zhang's new movie is going to be filmed in the United States?" Robert said after glancing at the twenty or so people accompanying Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi smiled.Did not speak.Among the more than 20 people, Xu Liang and his security personnel accounted for half of them.Zhang Yi didn't dare to hope that the filming would go smoothly this time.That Joseph hated himself to the bone.The last time Luo Shukai fell for the mafia, in fact, a large part of it was because of Zhang Yi.

If it hadn't happened suddenly last time.The rush to return to Hong Kong caused the matter to be abandoned halfway, otherwise Joseph would have been resolved long ago, once and for all.However, Zhang Yi didn't want to cause trouble this time, after all, Zhou Huimin came together.But if Joseph didn't know what to do, Zhang Yi would definitely give him a hard time.

Zhang Yi didn't know whether it was because of the black boxing in his previous life, or because he had been with Li Xiao and others for a long time, and he also got a bit of ruthlessness.All enemies, worthless, will be wiped out.

In addition to the promotion of "Mythology", Zhang Yi, who is well-known in the United States, is naturally the best candidate for hype.In the United States, Zhang Yi may not have many movie fans, but there are many martial arts fans.

"Mythology" naturally uses Chinese Kung Fu as the starting point on top of its propaganda.

Fox seems to be very concerned about this film, and naturally a premiere is indispensable.After the premiere, just like the original "Resident Evil", many directors and stars were invited.

Zhang Yi, a young director who came to Hong Kong, may not be as well-known among Hollywood actors as he is in the director circle.

Although "Resident Evil" is Zhang Yi's best-grossing movie in Hollywood, it is the extremely poor box office "Crazy Racing" that many directors talk about.

"Huh, it's Mr. Cameron?" Zhang Yi didn't expect Cameron to watch his movie again. After "Resident Evil" last time, he wanted to get acquainted with him, but he couldn't find anyone. The next time it was delivered to the door, Zhang Yi naturally would not let it go.

"Well, you know me?" Cameron didn't seem to think that Zhang Yi would know him.

"Hehe, the "Terminator" directed by Mr. Cameron is very good, I like it very much. Moreover, the sequel to "First Blood" written by you is also very exciting." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Hehe, thank you. I have also watched the movies you directed and even wrote. The most memorable ones are "Resident Evil" and "Face Changing"!" Cameron said with a smile.

"If Mr. Cameron is interested, how about we cooperate?" Zhang Yi looked at Cameron and said with a smile.

"Cooperation?" Cameron looked at the young director who came to Hong Kong with some surprise.However, his eyes widened immediately, and he suddenly remembered that this person is not only a director, screenwriter, but also a producer.

"Yes, cooperation! I want to invest in a movie about American secret agents. Mr. Cameron is undoubtedly the best candidate for the director." Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"A secret agent story? Why don't you film it yourself?"

When Cameron heard this, he looked at Zhang Yi and asked curiously.Whether as a director or a screenwriter, Cameron is naturally aware of Zhang Yi's screenwriting ability, and he even admires it.

"Hehe, you are more suitable than me. Moreover, this film needs the support of the US government." Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"Supported by the U.S. government?" Cameron looked at Zhang Yi in a daze when he heard that.

"The scene inside is grand, and the U.S. Air Force needs to dispatch Harrier fighter jets. It may even be necessary to launch air-to-surface missiles in line with the plot of the film." Zhang Yi said.

Cameron looked at Zhang Yi dumbfounded when he heard this, and was indescribably shocked.From Zhang Yi's words, he can guess what kind of movie this is.

"You, you, how much do you plan to invest in this movie?" Cameron asked immediately.

"No less than [-] million US dollars!" Zhang Yi said calmly.

[-] million US dollars, not to mention in Hong Kong, even in Hollywood, it is definitely considered a big production.Cameron did not expect the young man in front of him to be so courageous.

Either his head is broken, or he has money and nowhere to spend it.Or, it is full of great confidence in this film.

"I'm starting to be interested in this movie." Cameron said with a smile.

There is no doubt that Cameron was moved.Facing a production of [-] million US dollars, it is estimated that any director will be tempted.

"Then let's talk about it in detail some time?" Zhang Yi smiled and said immediately.

Cameron is a money-burning director, there is no doubt about it.But he is also a director who makes money, which is beyond doubt.And Zhang Yi invested in his filming with confidence, that's because this guy's pursuit of the perfection of the film has reached a perverted point.

A director who pursues film perfection, spares no expense, and doesn't care about time is undoubtedly reassuring.That's why, every time this guy increases the budget and annoys the producers, there are still so many film companies eagerly giving him money.

"As you wish. However, can you tell me the name of this movie, so that I can calm down my curiosity at the moment. Otherwise, I won't be in the mood to enjoy your movie anymore." Came Long then said with a smile.

"True Lies!" Zhang Yi said immediately. (To be continued..)
