Chapter [-] What kind of movie do you want him to cooperate with?

Zhang Yi's indifferent words had a great impact on everyone's hearts.

yes!This film is a purely American film, reflecting the spirit of the United States.Although it was directed by a Chinese screenwriter, it was filmed after all of American things, not Chinese.

"Make an American film, earn American money, and win American awards!" Wang Jing suddenly thought of a sentence, and then said, "I heard that your film has won more than 2 million US dollars at the box office in the United States. The cumulative box office in the region is nearly [-] million. As soon as the nomination list for the Oscars is released, it is estimated that the draw is almost over, and I am afraid that the box office will pick up again immediately. The global box office exceeds [-] million US dollars, which is already a sure thing. Ah Yi, you Contentment."

The investment in this film is only over 7000 million, and the global box office has won [-] million US dollars. Excluding the theater share and other expenses, it is definitely a movie that makes a lot of money.

Moreover, it was nominated for thirteen Oscars.

Make American movies, earn American money, and win American awards.

Before the filming of this movie started, such a sentence spread out. Although many people don't know the source of this sentence, people like Hong Jinbao and Wang Jing still know it.These words came from Zhang Yi.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Zhang Yi in surprise.This guy is amazing.At first I thought it was Zhang Yi's random joke, but now it seems that Zhang Yi has already made up his mind.

There is no reason for the bull fork!

Are American movies really that good?American money is really so easy to earn?The American award is even more difficult to win!

As soon as the box office and nomination list of "Forrest Gump" came out, it immediately caused a great sensation.Those media who said that this film will be Zhang Yi's "Waterloo" suddenly got a taste of what the Southeast Asian media had in the past.That slap in the face is very loud!

Thirteen nominations for a film can fully explain the excellence of the film.Moreover, the award-winning voice of this film is very high.

As soon as the nomination list came out, not only the Western media was in an uproar, but the Eastern media were even more shocked.Especially in Southeast Asia and other places.It can be said that a frenzy was set off.The media is even more hyped.

And this year's Oscars have also attracted much attention.

There was a lot of buzz outside about it.As the protagonist, Zhang Yi, as usual, did not show up in front of the media at all.It's so low-key that some people and gods are indignant.

Countless media went to stay outside Zhang Yi's villa, but they couldn't capture Zhang Yi's whereabouts, let alone interview Zhang Yi.Regarding this matter, Zhang Yi even rejected Ming Pao, and even rejected Shao Daheng's personal invitation.

Zhang Yi did not respond to the nomination of thirteen Oscars for his film, as if it never happened.

The media were helpless, especially those who rushed from other places.It was even more depressing.However, they were already used to Zhang Yi's style.If it were any other director, he would probably have his tail raised to the sky if he frequently appeared in front of the media.

And, it's really something to be proud of.

No matter how many awards Zhang Yi wins, he will definitely break many Oscar records.Who told him that he is only 23 years old now.

At this age, once an award is won, it is a record.certainly.If it wins Best Adapted Screenplay, there is no breakthrough.After all, he was already broken before.

After Zhang Yi finished writing the script for the sequel to The Mummy, he revised it.By the time I was satisfied, it was already the end of February.And "Forrest Gump" has been completely drawn, and the cumulative global box office is much higher than the original version, reaching nearly [-] million US dollars.

This is a classic film with a double harvest at the box office.Zhang Yi has undoubtedly left a strong mark on the history of world film.

"The Mummy" sequel will be with Lucas.Zhang Yi was not satisfied, he still wanted to pull Spielberg over.After Xie An's "The Mummy" sequel script, Zhang Yi has been thinking about a problem.Get Spielberg to work with that movie?

The first thing that comes to mind is "Artificial Intelligence" written and directed by Spielberg.This film can be described as a futuristic sci-fi epic film, but it is a pity that the story of this film comes from a friend of Spielberg, and someone already had the idea of ​​​​shooting such a film in the early 70s.

At this time, when Zhang Yi wrote this script, it was inevitable that he would crash.

Spielberg has a lot of classic movies. Except for "Artificial Intelligence", the ones that have not been filmed yet belong to the two movies about the second station, "Saving Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List".

"Schindler's List" is adapted from a novel based on real history, and the film has fallen into the hands of Spielberg a few years ago, but he has always felt that he can't shoot the film at its best. , has been dragging.

When someone asked him when to shoot, his answer was: ten years later!

And "Saving Private Ryan" was released in 98, and Spielberg won the Oscar again.This film is also one of the classic American war movies.Especially the expression of the Normandy landing, the scene is extremely grand.This is also one of Zhang Yi's preferences.

Every time Zhang Yi thinks of this film, Zhang Yi will hear the grand war scenes, the bloody Normandy landing, and Spielberg still uses documentary techniques to show the bloody battlefield, which is shocking.In particular, it shows the relationship between people and the performance of humanity in war.

Many people commented that this is the best war movie in film history.And Zhang Yi also thinks so.The American Film Association directly designated it as an "extremely exaggerated war violence film".However, many second station bosses gave it a very high evaluation, calling it "the film that most truly reflects World War II."

And this film also shined brightly at the Oscars, and the box office was also extremely amazing.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi wrote it down without hesitation.Moreover, I also wrote some of my own ideas in the script.

Because the script of this movie has the original movie as a reference, Zhang Yi doesn't need to think too much at all, so it is naturally much faster to write.By mid-March, the script of the film had been perfected.

And after the script of this film was written, Zhang Yi also had to set foot on the plane to the United States.

There are still a few days before the No.60 [-]nd Academy Awards Ceremony will be held. Zhang Yi's film has been nominated for [-] awards, so I am naturally embarrassed to be absent.

He knew that he would create a miracle this time.Back when "Forrest Gump" met the powerful "Shawshank's Redemption", it could win six awards.Now, Zhang Yi has no impression of the other nominated films of No.60 Second Session.Zhang Yi has never heard of such films as the best picture winner "Driving Miss Daisy" and the best actor winner "My Left Foot Has No Regrets in This Life".

Of course, it doesn't mean that these films are not excellent, but compared with the film "Forrest Gump", they are much worse.

It's not without reason that "Forrest Gump" has become a big hit this year.According to many people's speculation, Zhang Yi's "Forrest Gump" will sweep this year's Oscars, and it will be even more vicious than the previous "Shawshank Redemption".

Zhang Yi doesn't know how many awards he can win for this film, but there will definitely be no less, and it is even more impossible to return empty-handed.

However, apart from attending the Oscars, the most important reason for going to the United States this time is the cooperation with Lucas and Spielberg.

The cooperation with Lucas is basically done.As for Spielberg, further negotiations are needed.However, Zhang Yi believes that the script of "Saving Private Ryan" will definitely impress Spielberg.

If the two big directors of Jiying Film Company and Hollywood can cooperate at the same time, it will undoubtedly have an inestimable effect on the development of the film company.

"He won't refuse!" Bali Diller said to Zhang Yi after reading the script of "Saving Private Ryan".

"I think so too." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"I'm afraid the investment in this film is a bit high. Especially the scenes after the resurrection of the terracotta warriors and horses and the undead battle require a lot of special effects. Special effects are very costly." Bali Diller glanced at the sequel to "The Mummy", and was very impressed. Zhang Yi said.

"This can be done with the help of make-up and props, which can reduce a lot of costs. I want to work with Jiying Special Effects and DreamWorks to complete the special effects this time." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Do you want to communicate with the two special effects companies?" Bali Diller looked at Zhang Yi and asked.

Both Jiying special effects and DreamWorks special effects technology are at the top of the world, but they are different in some aspects.What Zhang Yi played was to learn from each other's strengths and make up for our weaknesses.Of course, this is also mutual. (To be continued..)
