Chapter 83

boot up boot up

Zhao Chenxi and his son didn't stay for two days, and they left before New Year's Eve. They left in a very low-key way, even concealed.

In the next few days during the Chinese New Year, Zhang Yi put aside everything, either to spend time with his family or with Zhou Huimin. It was rare for him to be free for a while.

I don't know if Liu Guanwei, the first director, couldn't bear it, or Lin Zhengying, the first starring actor, couldn't bear it first. "Mr. Zombie" actually started filming on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

As the screenwriter and investor of the film, Zhang Yi will naturally not be present.Of course, Zhang Yi originally planned to invest alone, but Hong Jinbao saw that Zhang Yi was full of confidence, and seemed to be stimulated by "Crazy Racing" now, so he also invested part of the money and served as the producer of this film.

In the parallel world of "Mr. Zombie", there was only an investment of more than 400 million at the beginning, but a lot was added later.But this time, Zhang Yi directly invested 500 million, and Hong Jinbao also invested 200 million, directly hitting 700 million.

In 84, the investment of 700 million was neither high nor low.It's an above-average investment.Nearly 300 million less than "The True Colors of Heroes", which has not yet started filming.

For worshiping gods at the start of the machine, Zhang Yi had to go to the countryside to do as the Romans do.

"Brother Sanmao, I heard that you recently accepted an apprentice?" Zhang Yi smiled and said to Hong Jinbao.

"Your boy is very well informed. Why, are you planning on her? Be careful, I will tell Xiao Min." Hong Jinbao smiled when he heard this, and said, "She is in good physical condition, let alone Mr. Pan's face. Yes. He's my boss now."

"Why do you want to sell the company?" Zhang Yi said.

"The price offered by Mr. Pan is really irresistible. What's more, Mr. Pan doesn't care much about the company's affairs. He gives the money and I make a movie, which is actually very good." Hong Jinbao said with a smile.

Zhang Yi nodded. Although Debao's boss was changed to Pan Disheng, Hong Jinbao almost had the final say in the whole company.Moreover, the entire company is almost supported by Hong's family. If Hong Jinbao gives up the pick, Debao is likely to be disbanded.

In fact, Zhang Yi also knew that there was another reason, that is, Golden Harvest favored Cheng Long now, and Hong Jinbao's resources would naturally be relatively reduced.In this way, Hong Jinbao naturally wanted to get a big sponsor.

"Ah Yi, Mr. Pan came to me two days ago and said he wanted to cooperate with you!" Hong Jinbao looked at Zhang Yi and said immediately.

"How to cooperate?" Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"He didn't say anything about it, he just let me take a look." Hong Jinbao said.

"What if it's a script? That's easy to say. If you want to co-produce a film, it may take a while." Zhang Yi said with a smile, "Some time ago, Uncle Shao Liu approached me and wanted to co-produce a blockbuster film to enter the European and American markets. I have already agreed After filming "Ip Man", we will start preparations."

"Co-produced a blockbuster film and entered the European and American markets!" Hong Jinbao said in surprise, "Ayi, it is not so easy to enter the European and American markets. European and American countries have a long history of discrimination against Chinese actors. Even Bruce Lee could not I was spared. It is difficult to break into the European and American markets.”

"Hehe!" Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Bringing movies into the European and American markets is not about selling our Hong Kong actors into the European and American markets."

When Hong Jinbao heard this, he immediately understood.Nowadays, many movies in Hong Kong are supported by leading actors, but Zhang Yi's "Crazy Racing" directly told all filmmakers that even a movie led by a newcomer can be awesome.

"How much are you going to invest?" Hong Jinbao asked curiously.

"I have prepared two scripts. One is estimated to be no less than 3000 million Hong Kong dollars. The other is estimated to be no less than 5000 million US dollars, and it may even be doubled." Zhang Yi said lightly.

"What! It's 5000 million US dollars, and it may be doubled. You are crazy." When Hong Jinbao heard this, he stood up in surprise, and his voice became much louder.

And his gaffe made many people look over.

"Ayi, even if you invest 3000 million Hong Kong dollars, it will be difficult to recover the cost in Hong Kong. Golden Harvest's "Shu Mountain" is a lesson learned from the past. If it is 5000 million US dollars, have you calculated how much the box office will be able to recover the cost?" Hong Jinbao looked around. , whispered.

"Cost recovery?" Zhang Yi smiled and said, "It's not that I'm arrogant. I, Zhang Yi's film, will not consider the issue of cost recovery. I will only consider how much money I can make."

When Hong Jinbao heard this, he shook his head, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to speak.

"Brother Sanmao thinks that I have been blinded by my previous success, have lost my mind, and am arrogant?" Zhang Yi smiled, looked at Hong Jinbao and said.Hong Jinbao didn't speak, but his expression said everything.

Zhang Yi did not have enough confidence in "Crazy Racing" before. The lack is not that he thought it would lose money, but that he faced the two extremely classics "Best Partner Queen's Secret Order" and "Teppanyaki", which almost imprinted the imprint of the times. The movie lacks confidence.

After all, "Crazy Racing" is a movie of the 21st century. Although it was very successful at the time, it can be guaranteed to be successful 30 years in advance.After all, the box office of a movie needs the right time, place and people.

However, after being nurtured by so many movies, Zhang Yi has an extremely unique vision for grasping the market, which completely surpasses the limitations of the times.

He trusts his own eyes.As a time-traveling reborn, one must believe in one's own vision.

He, Zhang Yi, is also growing up. He knows that any movie will be a hit no matter whether it is ahead of schedule or after it is back, and some movies will hit the street as soon as they are cashed out.For example, "Crazy Stone" will be a success for movies with a lower cost and higher box office compared to previous lives, while "33 Days of Broken Relationship" is likely to hit the market.There are also two films in the "Lost on the Journey" series that Zhang Yi likes, which are very successful, especially the second "Lost in Thailand" is very successful.But now that it is shot, it is estimated that it can be rushed to grandma's house on the street.

"Don't worry! I'm sure of this matter. Besides, even if I lose everything, I'll just start over. I, Zhang Yi, can start from scratch once, and I can start from scratch again." Zhang Yi smiled and continued.

Hong Jinbao looked at Zhang Yi, then smiled and felt relieved.He still admires Zhang Yi very much.He also hoped that Zhang Yi would succeed.

It seems to be a new year with a new atmosphere. After attending the opening ceremony of "Mr. Zombie", within two days, I was invited by Cheng Long to participate in the opening ceremony of "Police Story". Of course, this time I only participated as a screenwriter. Movies will make money, but Golden Harvest fully invests in it.

"Miss Lin, we met again. I haven't had time to thank you for what happened last time." After the opening ceremony, Zhang Yi said to Lin Qingxia, the heroine of "Police Story".

"Mr. Zhang is polite." Lin Qingxia smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Zhang's new film is ready, when will it start shooting?"

"It's probably only a few days." Zhang Yi said, "I don't know if Ms. Lin has any other arrangements after filming this "Police Story"?"

Lin Qingxia shook her head, and a group of people looked at Zhang Yi.

"That would be great. Ms. Lin can leave the schedule to me. After I finish filming the film in hand, I plan to co-produce a big production with Shaw Brothers. I want to invite Ms. Lin to be the heroine. Don't refuse Ms. Lin." .” Zhang Yi said immediately.

Lin Qingxia looked at Zhang Yi and said, "It's my wish to be the heroine in Mr. Zhang's movie. However, I really want to know, is it because of the reason you invited me last time, or because of my own factors?"

"Hehe! Both!" Zhang Yi smiled and said the truth.

"Mr. Zhang is so direct." Lin Qingxia looked at Zhang Yi, saw that he was smiling sincerely, and said immediately, "Then I will wait for Mr. Zhang's script."
