Chapter 406: Blocking?

Zhang Yu of the Taekwondo Federation kicked it, and finally forced Cui Zhengyang to fight him.

And he also kicked in the karate martial arts gym, and the opponent admitted it at the time.

At that time Zhang Yu was not too aggressive to be unreasonable.

It wasn't a big deal.

At least it didn't make a big fuss with the Taekwondo Federation.

The impact is naturally not great.

However, the interests are touching.

Zhang Shisan's banner is too famous.

The star effect cannot be ignored.

If you want to attack the Guoshu League, then it will undoubtedly be faster and better to start with Zhang Shisan.

With the blessing of Zhang Shisan's many movies, Lianhuaguo Kung Fu has gradually become popular all over the world.

For sci-fi films like "Transformers", Zhang Shisan can incorporate Huaguo Kung Fu into it.

This impact is even more difficult to estimate.

If Zhang Shisan's banner falls, it will be an immeasurable blow not only to the Guoshu League, but also to Huaguo Kung Fu.

But if he doesn't fall.
Then the Guoshu League will have no problems.

Zhang Shisan is the core of the Guoshu League.

Zhang Yu doesn't think Wantong's worries are unfounded.

He didn't care, it was because he had enough self-confidence.

If you want to attack him, you can only defeat him openly.

At least on the surface.

It's useless to kill him with a gun, or in other ways.

Are there any masters in taekwondo and karate?
Of course there is.

Only relying on commercial means, the Taekwondo Federation and the Karate Federation could not get to where they are today.

However, Zhang Yu is really not afraid.

He fears no one now.

Wantong didn't say anything more.

A reminder is enough.

Zhang Yu didn't seem to care, but it didn't mean he didn't pay attention.

This guy is smart.

After the Spring Festival, Zhang Shisan went to Hollywood to start preparing for his new film.

For his new film, he actually gave the script to Kevin before.

The film is already in the pre-production stage.

The current energy of Lion King Film and Television is undoubtedly on Zhang Yu's new film.

As for "The Shawshank Redemption", it has already been completed.

"The chance of winning the award for "The Love of Ghosts" should not be high." Kevin looked at Zhang Yu and said.

The film was nominated for an Oscar, which was obviously beyond his expectations.

And not only was it shortlisted for best picture, but also nominated for best original screenplay, best supporting actress, best soundtrack and best cut.

Not to mention how amazing it was, but it was definitely a surprise.

However, Kevin's confidence in winning the prize is obviously insufficient.

Even if he put a lot of effort into it.

And the bigger surprise for Kevin in this small-budget romantic film is obviously not in the awards, but in the box office.

You know, this film has a box office of more than 15 billion US dollars.

And what about film investment and production costs?

But only tens of millions.

Make a lot of money and make a lot of money.

If it weren't for this, it would be a little stressful for Lion King Film and Television to invest in Zhang Shisan's new film.

Because the investment and production cost of his film is not low.

Of course, for Lion King Film and Television, it is completely easy.

Even if you invest independently.

It's just Zhang Shisan's new film, how could there be no other investors?
It's just that Lion King Film and Television and Thirteen Film and Television are the two largest investors.

In addition, Wansheng Film and Television, Dream Film Industry, and some Hollywood film and television companies have more or less invested.

Let those companies follow suit.

Correct!
In Kevin's view, Zhang Shisan's new film will definitely be profitable.

The film has just begun preparations and has already attracted much attention.

The reason why there are so many investors is just to make the cake bigger.

Although it is a romance film, love is the eternal theme of the film.

Besides, there are other elements to this movie.

For example: disaster, drama!
Kevin had read the script and couldn't put it down.

As a well-known producer in the industry, he has a keen eye for movies.

If he can't even tell if the script is good or bad.

Then he would not have achieved what he is today.

A few days after Zhang Yu arrived in Los Angeles, the Oscars ceremony was held.

He was shortlisted for the Best Original Screenplay Award for "The Love of Ghosts", so he naturally went to participate.

There are no Chinese-language films shortlisted for this year's Oscars, and apart from Zhang Yu, there are only two Chinese-language filmmakers, Li Hua and Zhan Zi.

The two of them were present as guests of honor.

Although no Chinese-language film was shortlisted, the domestic attention is still quite high.

After all, Zhang Shisan was once again shortlisted for the Best Original Screenplay Award.

If he wins another prize, he will be re-elected.

Will Zhang Shisan be reelected?
The original film seems to have taken the award.

Competitors, however, are different.

And the Oscar jury may not give it.

After all, he already took it last year.

give it?

Whether he can win the award, I am afraid, depends on what the Oscar jury thinks this year.

Still, the film certainly deserves an award.

It's just that Zhang Yu, like Kevin, is not optimistic.

The awards ceremony begins.

"Ghost Story" failed to win Best Score and Best Editing.

".The winner of the Best Original Screenplay Award is: "The Love of Ghosts and Ghosts", Zhang Shisan."

Zhang Yu raised his head in surprise, then stood up with a smile.

He really never thought that this award would fall on him.

Just because he can get the original version doesn't mean he can get it.

Even if the box office of the film is several times higher than that of the original version.

The box office has doubled several times, largely due to market factors.

Among other things, the original version was not screened in China.

Still, it's undeniable that the film has more impact than the original.

Although the influence of the film does not play a decisive role in the selection of Oscars, it still plays a role to some extent.

Among the major film awards in the world, the Oscar is undoubtedly the most commercial.

Zhang Yu won the award again, that is, the reelection.

This is still rare at the Oscars.

It seems that this is not the first time for Zhang Yu.

"Thank you!"

"It's a pleasure to win this award again, although it's not my second screenplay in English, I like it better than Harry Potter."

"Maybe it's because it's the first romance I've ever written in English."

"Yes! I also wrote romance films before."

"I don't know if you have heard of the Chinese movie "My Sassy Girl"."

"It is said that love is an eternal theme and an indispensable element in movies."

"Many of my films have romantic elements, but the only ones that can be called romantic films are "My Sassy Girl" and "The Ghost".

"Of course, my new film is also a romance film."

"Thank you to the judges, and to the director of "The Love of Ghosts" although he has become the proof that Zhang Shisan can't make romance films."

As soon as these words came out, many people in the audience were stunned.

Everyone could tell that he was mocking those big directors who said he couldn't make romance films.

How dare he say it!

However, listening to it at this moment, many people suddenly felt how ridiculous those who questioned why Zhang Shisan didn't make "Human and Ghost Love" by himself.

If you don't shoot yourself, is that because you don't know how to shoot?

This inference is indeed untenable.

In addition, "My Sassy Girl", a popular movie in Asia, many people present have naturally heard of it.

At this time, many people reacted.

It turns out that Zhang Shisan has written scripts for romance films before!

So, wouldn't those people who ridiculed Zhang Shisan for not being able to make romantic films be even more untenable?
Zhang Yu got off the podium, and he didn't care how much trouble his "testimonial speech" would cause on the stage.

He had already given Oscar a lot of face by mocking those guys without naming them on the podium.

And what about Kevin in the audience?
At this time, there is only a wry smile.

My own boss never thought that such a sentence would cause unnecessary trouble.

Among other things, those directors are probably full of hostility.

But it's no wonder that the man who once pointed Bobby Nash's nose at the Oscars and called him a cat or a dog is not surprising.

Awards continue.

"The Love of Ghosts" won the Best Supporting Actress Award like the original version.

The role was also played by a black actor.

And the best picture missed.

This is also to be expected.

Winning two awards is actually a pleasant surprise for Zhang Yu and others.

After the awards ceremony, the reporter interviewed, and naturally the topic of "will you make a romantic movie" was inevitably asked by the media.

"The new film is a romance film, which is already planned, not to prove anything to anyone."

"Do I need to prove to them that I can make a romantic movie?"

"No need!"

"Will I make a romance movie?"

"In my opinion, for any director, there is no type of film that can be made or not, only the type of film that he likes to make and is willing to make."

"At most, it's different directors who are good at different genres."

Zhang Shisan denied that his new film was a response to those directors who said he would not make romance films.

He doesn't need to prove it to them.

However, the mockery of those directors in his words was very obvious.

But who can say what?

Moreover, he once again issued an invitation to those directors in his words.

This is a big book by the major media.

It's a pity that there is still nothing.

No one responded.

"The Love of Ghosts" is regarded as a classic love film, and no one will underestimate Zhang Shisan's new film.

Zhang Shisan doesn't know how to make romance films?
It is estimated that the directors who said this did not believe it.

They said that, at most, they were forced by the media, and they said it out of desperation.

Dead ducks have tough mouths.

If the words are spoken, whoever is spilled is forced to the corner by the media, then they can only hold on.

It's just that Zhang Shisan turned out to be serious.

Is this necessary?

Do you have to rub our faces against the ground to be satisfied?

Those directors grew resentful towards Zhang Shisan, but they forgot that they were the ones who started this incident.

Zhang Shisan's new film also entered the public's field of vision because of the Oscar awards ceremony.

Of course, Hollywood pays more attention.

Because Zhang Shisan's film is an English film, the casting is also in Hollywood.

Today, Hollywood's ability to Zhang Shisan is undoubtedly clearer.

Hollywood stars who didn't pay attention before, but now they have to pay attention.

A "Forrest Gump" almost swept the Oscars, and received a good reputation at the box office.

Although "Harry Potter" was not shortlisted for Oscars, it has won many child stars, and the box office is even more amazing.

Even if it is a low-budget romance film, not to mention the amazing box office, it even won Oscars.

All three films were hits.

As for the actors who starred in these three films, which one didn't have a surge in popularity and continuous film appointments?
Those are just films written by Zhang Shisan, but what about the ones he directed?

I'm afraid it will be on fire!

One is a coincidence, but it's impossible for all to be a coincidence, right?
And then, there was news that Zhang Shisan's romance movie cost more than [-] million US dollars to produce.

A romance film, why such a high cost?

"The Love Between Humans and Ghosts" is only tens of millions less, right?

This is doubled several times!

With an investment of more than [-] million US dollars, this is definitely considered a blockbuster in Hollywood.

Some people can't help but wonder, is it really a romance movie, instead of other types of movies with love elements?
Zhang Yu naturally didn't care about this, and the film began to test the situation.

There are many roles in this film, but the most critical ones are undoubtedly the two protagonists, Jack and Rose.

Of course, that's not to say that the casting of other roles isn't important.

Only in relative terms.

After all, this film is about the love story of the two of them.

Although they didn't know each other for a long time.

But some things cannot be measured by time.

If these two roles stand up, then the film will have a foundation for success.

Zhang Yu is preparing a new film in Hollywood.

In China, however, a rumor has intensified.

There are rumors on the Internet that Zhang Shisan and Yang Ruoxue entered the international market, and for the convenience of work, their family emigrated to country M.

None of their family are Chinese.

Now it can only be called Chinese.

This incident caused quite a stir.

After all, Zhang Shisan is now an absolute benchmark in Chinese-language movies.

And Yang Ruoxue is also the most famous singer in the music world.

The star effect, their emigration, the impact is not small.

What's more, Zhang Shisan has always been proud of being a Chinese since his debut.

If it is true as rumored, isn't it a duplicity?

"Before going abroad, Wantong also reminded myself that changing nationality is harmful and not beneficial." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "I didn't expect it to be so long before someone made a fuss about it?"

"Someone pushed?" Yang Ruoxue said in surprise, "I thought it was because fans were worried that you wouldn't go back, and then gradually raised the topic."

"In the beginning, some fans probably expressed concern. After all, my new film is an English-language film, but it has become so popular in a short period of time. I guess some people will follow suit!" Zhang Yu said, "There are so many people who are popular."

"Stuffed?" Yang Ruoxue said, "It should be easy to clarify this matter, right?"

Show a passport ID card or something, instantly clarified.

The difficulty is very low.

"It's probably to make things difficult for us. Besides, there are some ulterior motives who don't want to drink." Seeing Yang Ruoxue's puzzled look, Zhang Yu continued, "If I'm from M, it will be easier for me to integrate into Hollywood. But if I clarify, in It is inevitable that Hollywood will become more repellent."

"Some things are fine if you don't mention them. No one pays attention to them. But once they are mentioned, more people pay attention."

Zhang Yu didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was obvious.

"Then what do you mean?" Yang Ruoxue frowned and asked.

Don't clarify, this rumor has intensified and has had a great impact on their image.

Let's clarify.
"Clarification!" Zhang Yu said with a smile, "So what if there is more Hollywood rejection? Too many lice don't itch, and too many debts don't worry."

Yang Ruoxue looked at Zhang Yu, but smiled.

It's not that Hollywood rejects Zhang Yu now, it's just that there seems to be nothing to do with him.
