Chapter 60 No.[-] The Second Oscar

As Bali Diller said, Spielberg wouldn't say no.

"Saving Private Ryan" is indeed a heart-warming movie.

"Why didn't Mr. Zhang direct this film himself? Mr. Zhang is good at war scenes." Spielberg looked at Zhang Yi and asked.

"Hehe, when I make movies, I don't judge whether I'm good at it or not, but whether I'm interested in it. I really don't have much interest in this movie. Mr. Spielberg is undoubtedly the one who can make it well." Zhang Yi smiled and said.

Spielberg nodded.He can naturally understand that Zhang Yi is not only a screenwriter, director, but also the owner of a film company, and more importantly, he is also a super rich man.

For Zhang Yi's sake, the movies he shoots are really not based on what he is suitable for, but whether he is interested in it.Interesting things, even if they don't get awards, don't make money, or even get scolded constantly, they may still be photographed.

If you are not interested in something, even if it is a movie with a good reputation at the box office, you may not shoot it.

Of course, Zhang Yi's interest in "Forrest Gump" is not entirely because he knows that he can make money and win awards.

However, Zhang Yi probably won't be interested in such a movie anymore.

"How much do you plan to invest in this film?" Spielberg accepted the film, so he naturally wanted to know the filming budget of the film.

"Hehe. Mr. Spielberg may not be used to working with me. If it were Mr. Cameron, he wouldn't ask." Zhang Yi smiled, and then said, "It's not how much I invest in making my movie, but how much I invest. It's how much you need!"

"7000 million, maybe more will be added." Spielberg thought for a while, then looked at Zhang Yi.

"No problem." Zhang Yi nodded.This is the original investment.However, Zhang Yi knew that after the filming, there would be more.

"I don't think any director would want to work with you after working with Mr. Zhang." Spielberg said with a smile.

Whatever budget the director says, invest as much as you want.There is no director who does not like such investors.However, Spielberg naturally knew that, in fact, Zhang Yi also had a number in his heart.

He's not being taken advantage of.

"Who does Mr. Zhang think is suitable for the leading role?" Spielberg asked immediately.

"Who does Mr. Spielberg think?" Zhang Yi smiled.Instead of answering, he asked.

"Tom Hanks!" Spielberg said immediately.

"Hehe, there is a saying in China that all heroes see the same thing." Zhang Yi said with a smile, "I, Mr. He Bali Diller, also think so."

"Well! I will implement this matter as soon as possible. It is estimated that Tom Hanks' net worth will be different in a few days." Spielberg smiled and said.

"Oh? Mr. Spielberg is so optimistic about him?" Zhang Yi naturally heard the meaning of Spielberg's words.

"Mr. Zhang's films are not very competitive. There is not much suspense in this year's Oscars." Spielberg said immediately. "If many awards are not given to your "Forrest Gump", I guess no one will agree."

"Hehe!" Zhang Yi smiled and said nothing.

It is no secret that Zhang Yi came to the United States.Still, he's the same as ever.Rarely appears in public.

Although Zhang Yi did not appear in public, news about him and him was reported by the media from time to time.And when a report pointed out that Zhang Yi will cooperate with the two big directors Lucas and Spielberg.It still caused a great stir.

With the detailed investigation, everyone knows that Lucas will direct the sequel of "The Mummy".Put the story in China for decades.And Spielberg will direct a war movie, and its starring role is still popular for Oscar for best actor.

Both films were written by Zhang Yi.Filmed and produced by Jiying Film Company.Zhang Yi's screenwriting ability is self-evident, and he won two Oscars for Best Screenplay.Of course, one is the original screenplay award, and the other is the adapted screenplay award.

With both awards in hand, it is naturally even more powerful.

The global box office list, not to mention the top five, is the top ten. Perhaps only Spielberg and Lucas can compete with Zhang Yi.Now that the three are working together, who else can stand in the way.

Some time ago, Jiying Film Company and Columbia Film Company had a fight.In order to prevent Columbia Pictures' "Godzilla", Jiying Film Company has already invested in "Independence Day", although as for 8000 million.But now, it is reported that two films with an investment of nearly [-] million in succession have shocked many people.

Perhaps only Zhang Yi dares to invest in big productions one after another without any scruples.

On March 26, No.60's second Oscar will come soon.

This year's Oscars are highly anticipated.Especially in Southeast Asia and other places, the expectations are higher than those in North America.

A movie made by a Chinese, although the content of the movie is a typical American movie, but after all, the movie was produced by him.He is also a screenwriter, a director, and the boss of a production company.

This is the highest achievement ever made by a Chinese in Hollywood.Even if he doesn't win an award, he will become an unsurpassed legend.Of course, in the eyes of everyone, Zhang Yi may be the only one who can surpass.

"Are you really planning to walk the red carpet alone?" Bali Diller smiled and said, "The organizing committee asked if you have a female companion, obviously wanting to arrange one for you."

"Although Xiao Min didn't come to the United States due to business, it's okay to arrange a female companion." Zhang Yi waved his hand, then looked at Bali Diller, and then said, "If you want to find a female companion, don't come with me, feel free."

"You are attracting a lot of attention now, whoever can be your female companion on the red carpet will definitely become the focus of the media." Bali Diller smiled and said, "But if you change to a man, it will definitely be covered by your light .However, this suits the low-key me."

"Are you low-key too?" Zhang Yi smiled and didn't say anything more.

When Zhang Yi and Bali Diller walked towards the red carpet, there was a sudden commotion.Everyone knows Zhang Yi now, especially his attire, which has been imitated by countless people.What's more, on this year's Oscars, how many Chinese faces are there?

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang! Your "Forrest Gump" was nominated for [-] awards. How many trophies do you think you can win?" A reporter asked loudly.

Zhang Yi smiled and said, "I don't know how much I can get, but I naturally hope that the more the better."

"Among Mr. Zhang's thirteen nominations, which award do you care about the most, Best Picture? Or Best Director?" A reporter asked again.

"Hehe. I care about every award." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Well, after hearing what I said, you took it out of context and said that I threatened to win all the awards! This is just a wish .”

"Mr. Zhang has won the Best Screenplay Award twice, even the Best Adapted Screenplay. Do you still care about winning the Best Adapted Screenplay Award this time? After all, you won this award last year." A reporter said again, with some excitement in his words.

Zhang Yi listened to some convoluted words, but understood the meaning of those words. He smiled and said, "It is also an honor to be re-elected. I naturally hope to win the Best Adapted Screenplay Award again."

After Zhang Yi answered a few questions, he waved his hand and went inside.

"Well, Mr. Hanks, you look a little nervous!" Zhang Yi said to Tom Hanks with a smile.

The main creators of "Forrest Gump" naturally arranged to sit together.Before the awards ceremony started, Zhang Yi saw that Tom Hanks' face was stiff, obviously a little nervous.

"Mr. Zhang isn't nervous at all?" Tom Hanks looked at Zhang Yi in surprise. In his opinion, he should be the most nervous person.Moreover, he was nominated for several items by himself, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director, Best Film, and even Best Sound.

"If it's yours, you can't run away. If it's not yours, it's useless to be nervous." Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"Mr. Zhang's state of mind, we can't do it. In fact, we all understand these things, but we can't control ourselves and get nervous." Tom Hanks said.

He was nominated last year, but missed the Oscar winner, and now he is nominated again, and it is still very popular, how can he not be nervous.

Oscar winner, this is the honor that all actors dream of. (To be continued..)
