Chapter [-] Zhang Yi's Waterloo?

The vision of Zhang Yi's version of "Mulan" in the war scenes is not unprecedented, but absolutely unprecedented.Compared with the war scenes in the original "Mulan", it is like children fighting.

The movie tells the story of Hua Mulan, and it is expressed in a growing way.As soon as Hua Mulan came out, she was a rookie, growing up on the battlefield.

As for her growth, there are not many scenes, and the cruelty in the war is naturally expressed through Hua Mulan shuffling wooden cards (military cards).Moreover, every time Hua Mulan shuffled the wooden cards, her identity gradually changed.This also shows her growth.

I was afraid that their family members would be sad when they saw the bloody military badge.

This is why Mulan shuffles the wooden cards.

In the end, although the war was finally won, Hua Mulan lost her love.

For the peace of this country, she can give up her life, but also has to give up her love.

"It's easy for me to give up my life, but it's hard for me to give up the person I love the most!"

The final ending is far from satisfactory, but it can better reflect the nobility of Hua Mulan.

Hearing the overwhelming applause, Zhang Yi had a smile on his face, but he didn't feel much sense of accomplishment in his heart.His film is very different from the original version, and even surpasses the original version a lot, but it comes from the original version after all.

Perhaps the only thing that really gave Zhang Yi a sense of accomplishment was his novel "Prehistoric", and he has already planned to make this novel into a movie, but the current special effects technology has not yet achieved the desired effect.

The premiere of "Mulan" is undoubtedly a success.And the box office of the premiere is quite astonishing, especially in Hong Kong. Although it did not break the record set by "Jurassic Park", it also left other movies behind.

A week later, with a box office of more than 600 million, it became the Hong Kong box office weekly champion. It may be difficult for the whole film to break through 5000 million.But if it breaks through 4000 million, there is no problem.

"Mulan" continued to be popular at the box office in other regions, especially in Taiwan, where it was nearly 2000 million Hong Kong dollars in one week of release.

Zhang Yi is still very satisfied with this box office result.

However, this result is quite different from his previous film achievements, especially "Jurassic Park".Some media directly said that this film will be Zhang Yi's "Waterloo".Some media even directly said that this film is Zhang Yi's "Waterloo"!

At a time when many people are worrying about the Hong Kong box office of tens of millions or 2000 million, Zhang Yi did not win 5000 million for a movie, and some media said that the movie was Zhang Yi's "Waterloo". strangeness.

Although, the film still made money, and a lot of it.However, many media believe that.This film with pure oriental characteristics has already achieved such a box office in Southeast Asia and other places. It is difficult to make a difference in the European and American markets.

and.When Zhang Yi made this film, he did not try to please the European and American markets.For example, there were some pseudo-scientific things in "Mythology" that could please the European and American markets.

"Mulan" is a purely oriental historical story, nothing that Western audiences dare to be interested in today.How much box office performance can this film achieve in markets such as Europe and the United States.None of the media is optimistic.

Moreover, Zhang Yi's film was first released in Southeast Asia, so he may have already seen it.

Some people don't understand.Why did Zhang Yi make such a film.With his influence in the world film market, shooting a film that caters to European and American tastes has achieved excellent results after all.Moreover, shooting such a movie, in the eyes of everyone, is not difficult for Zhang Yi at all.

Many of the films written by Zhang Yi have been screened in Europe and the United States, whether it is "The Shawshank Redemption" or "The Mummy", as well as "True Lies" directed by Cameron before the box office results are extremely impressive.Moreover, if Zhang Yi shoots it himself, with his box office appeal, after all, it will make the box office go further.

For Zhang Yi, who occupies three seats in the top five of the global box office, and has a movie that is the top box office in the world, how can it be difficult to make a movie that caters to everyone's tastes.

But Zhang Yi obviously didn't make a movie for the box office this time!

Of course, for Zhang Yi, the interest is greater than the box office, after all, Zhang Yi is not short of money.With his popularity, the possibility of accompanying money is almost zero.

A week after its release in Southeast Asia and mainland China, "Mulan" landed in the European and American markets.She didn't beat other films like "Jurassic Park" is defenseless.But in the first week, it still rushed to the top of the North American weekly box office chart.It's just that No.2 is very tight.

Although the box office of this film is not as domineering as "Jurassic Park", its reputation is much better than that of "Jurassic Park".Regardless of whether it is Southeast Asian media or European and American media, the evaluation of this film is full of praise.

Of course, most Southeast Asian media focus on the values ​​and shooting techniques shown in movies.However, European and American media focus on the visuals inside, especially the war scenes.There is no media yet, and Zhang Yi is directly called Zhang Yi, which is the top existence among the directors who control the big scene.

Zhang Yi's film became a hot topic during this time, but Zhang Yi didn't pay attention any more.

It's a rare leisure time, and I have nothing to do at home to accompany my father Zhang Dexin and my girlfriend Zhou Huimin.Read books and practice calligraphy.

"Which edition of "The Voice" is this?" Zhang Yi smiled and asked Zhou Huimin who was beside Xiang Zhi while watching "The Voice" on TV.

When Zhou Huimin heard this, she gave Zhang Yi a white look with a smile, and said, "You planned "The Voice" by yourself, and it was organized in cooperation with your record company. You don't even know?"

Zhang Yi smiled awkwardly, and said: "It happened a few years ago, I don't remember it. Although I planned this show by myself, except for the first session, I don't have anything to do with it .”

"It's the fifth time." Zhou Huimin didn't seem to want to embarrass Zhang Yi anymore, and said immediately, "Today is a competition for the semi-finals of the Luo Wen group!"

"Yeah!" Zhang Yi nodded, he was not interested in TV.Watching the show this time is just to accompany Zhou Huimin.

What he watched was TV, but what he wanted was the atmosphere.

"Huh? Who is this person?" Zhang Yi looked at a student who appeared on the stage, and felt a little familiar, but his face did not have the temperament of the future.

"It seems to be Zheng Yijian, a popular student of Luo Wen's group." Zhou Huimin said with a smile, "I heard that the record company is going to sign him!"

"Then let Uncle Zhan sign him!" Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Oh? He hasn't started singing yet? You're just so optimistic about him. Or have you heard him sing before?" Zhou Huimin looked at Zhang Yi suspiciously.

"I don't know how well he sings. However, I like his appearance, he is suitable for making movies." Zhang Yi said casually.

"Suitable for making movies?" Zhou Huimin looked at Zhang Yi, did he know that he said before that Zhang Weijian was suitable for making movies, but not for music.Zhang Weijian didn't take Zhang Yi's words seriously at the time, but now the facts have proved Zhang Yi's words.

Zhang Weijian became very popular because of Zhang Yi's "Nightclub", but now he almost has to start over.

Seeing Zheng Yijian, several favorite movies appeared in Zhang Yi's mind.

"Young and Dangerous" series, "Fengyun" series, and "Chinese Heroes"!Of course, there is also a movie starring Zhang Weijian and many stars: "Super School Overlord"!

Zhang Yi now intends to invest in some films in Hong Kong, including the comic-adapted films "The Hero of the Wind and Cloud" and "Chinese Heroes".

Nowadays, special effects technology is developing rapidly, and the production of special effects for these two films is no longer a problem.

The classic movies starring Cheng Yijian have an indispensable position in the Hong Kong film industry. Although "Young and Dangerous" has caused many bad influences, I have to say that it would be a pity if this series was missing from Hong Kong movies.

Zhang Yi still likes this series of movies very much.It's just that he has no interest in filming, but it doesn't prevent him from bringing this series to the screen.Of course, with his current status, it is indeed inconvenient to shoot such a film. (To be continued..)
