It is said that with the promotion of various media, newspapers were sold out by readers, and Yi Feiyang, who was holding the statuette in each picture and smiling gently and modestly, occupied the front page of the newspaper.
In addition to the huge publicity for Yi Feiyang's award, some newspapers and magazines also gave sharp comments on the Oscar battle between Yi Feiyang and the great director Spielberg.
"Although China Yi won the Oscar award from Spielberg, we must see that this is the partiality of the Oscar organizing committee! Yes, in order to show that the Oscars are tolerant, they will be so generous.
Give so many awards to an Indian film!”
"I really can't figure out whether this is the Oscars of the United States or the Oscars of the Chinese? Is this Hollywood or the Bollywood of India? China Yi's victory surprised me!"
"Support Spielberg! Boycott China Yi!"
"Spielberg is always the best!"
…
It can be said that there are various accusations. There is no way, this is the United States, Spielberg's main battlefield, plus the old man is very popular, there are many die-hard fans, of course they are unhappy with Yi Feiyang.
In fact, there was an Oscar battle between Director Li Yin and Spielberg in the previous life, which was "Life of Pi" versus "Lincoln". Unfortunately, they lost to Li Yin in the final and most critical decisive battle, and Li Yin also got Spielberg.
The "greetings" given by die-hard Pielberg fans were scolded bloody in newspapers, which is similar to the current Yi Feiyang.
In comparison, Yi Feiyang was actually scolded relatively lightly, because his intelligence and talent have long been recognized by most people.
No matter what, after this Oscar battle, compared with Spielberg, Yi Feiyang, a 26-year-old Chinese director, has once again become the focus of discussion.
This guy who dominates Hollywood has once again proved his ability to create miracles with his box office, word-of-mouth, and awards, and he has lived up to his reputation as the "Son of God."
…
If the revelations in newspapers and magazines are not convincing enough, then take a look at the Internet.
The sensational effect on the Internet was as shocking as a magnitude 8 earthquake.
In a special report on Yahoo.com, a fan named "Eskimo" wrote: "Oh my God. This guy Yi from China is really amazing. He won seven awards without making any noise! His "Slumdog Millionaire"
"I've read it, it's so meaningful! It's well deserved!"
A fan with the online name "Angel with Broken Wings" wrote: "I am even more looking forward to the filming of China Yi's "I Am Legend" starting soon, and of course, his authentic zombie TV series "The Walking Dead" to premiere soon,
Wow, I can’t wait!”
The online name "Amazon Tropical Fish" wrote: "Guess how many awards China will be able to win at the next Oscars? Can it be more than seven? Haha!"
…
On the Internet in many parts of Asia, national sentiment is running high.
On a Chinese website, a netizen signed "Da Qin Empire" wrote: "Yi Feiyang is the pride of us Chinese people and the pride of young people all over the world. He told us that the Oscars are no longer a white people's world.
It’s just a white director’s own entertainment!”
A person signed "The yellow man is your father" wrote: "Director Yi. Start shooting a big anti-Japanese movie to open the eyes of the Americans!"
…
It can be said that as Yi Feiyang won the Oscar and became the "seven-time winner", movie fans from all over the world went crazy and posted their testimonials on the Internet.
Various praises and praises are booming in the online community, and the overwhelming attention has made the whole world aware of the unparalleled charm of this Chinese director!
Of course, everything is not perfect, and among so many compliments, there are occasionally some discordant scoldings, ridicules, and even jealousies.
It can be said that in the United States, those who have racial sentiments and don't like Chinese people very much have begun to collectively complain and criticize Yi Feiyang's rising popularity.
"China's Yi is so young and yellow-skinned that the Oscars treat him differently. God, anyone can make a movie these days, whether it's "Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door" or "The Millionaire,"
They can't even move me at all. Oscar is really blind!"
"He is a playboy! He was before, and he is now! It's just that he is disguised very well now, and Anne Hathaway is completely deceived by him! If you don't believe it, look at the way he looks at Angelina Jolie in the photo,
He is a real pervert! Now I heard that he is going to film a movie with Julie. The purpose is self-evident, and it is not just to sleep with Julie! Damn it, why are all our American girls picked up by Chinese? Finally, I want to say something
, break up with him quickly, Anne Hathaway!”
"It's a boring Oscars. I announce that I will boycott any Oscars in which China is involved from now on! For no other reason than that I really don't like this Chinese who is constantly in the limelight and fabricating public opinion!"
In response to such slander and insult, Yi Feiyang's group of die-hard fans gave up, and they all swarmed forward. Countless spits and saliva formed an ocean, and they started fierce battles with the "brick-shooters" one after another.
In the empty scolding war, Yi Feiyang made people across the United States go crazy again.
…
At this point, Yi Feiyang abandoned all his previous glory and devoted himself to his career as a director.
The first season of the TV series "The Walking Dead" is almost finished filming.
Yi Feiyang temporarily took a break and handed over the director's power to his assistant director Tom, and asked Fatty Robert to serve as the producer to follow the progress of the drama.
In Yi Feiyang's view, Tom himself is a TV drama director. After filming with him for so many days, it can be said that the entire filming process is already familiar; as for Fatty Robert himself, he is the comic book author of this drama. After communicating with him, he has formed a lot of ideas.
A complete storyline system, as long as he strictly controls it, nothing will happen.
Yi Feiyang's calculations are very accurate. In at most one week, the drama will be premiered on the AMC TV station he acquired, and then he will know how the effect will be.
Yi Feiyang, who had taken a break from TV production, was not idle, but immediately started working on the drama "I Am Legend".
First of all, you have to go through the procedures to write the script. After the script is filed, apply for filming. These tedious and necessary procedures can be said to be easy for Yi Feiyang now.
Fantasy Entertainment has already established a screenwriting team. There are seven or eight people in the whole team. When you outline the script or give it to them, they will hand you three sets of scripts in the shortest possible time, usually three days.
, you can choose the most suitable one to start shooting.
It can be said that Fantasy Entertainment has officially entered the "industrial era" in film production, and has established production departments, screenwriting departments, directing departments, photography departments, makeup departments, special effects departments, as well as post-editing, post-production and publicity departments, etc.
In each of these industry chains, there are basically elites recruited by Yi Feiyang from all walks of life in Hollywood. Or they are talents poached with high salaries.
For Yi Feiyang, talent is equivalent to the thickness of US dollars. Talent equals wealth; of course, there will also be some people who do not love money, like to be respected, and need creative freedom. For them, Yi Feiyang,
It’s even more so: “How big your dream is, how big your stage is!”
Now that the script creation of "I Am Legend" has been completed, Yi Feiyang and Vice President Dures selected the most suitable script together.
Script content: The story mainly tells that in 2012, mankind was finally defeated by the virus. Angelina Jolie, a former military virologist, became the only survivor in New York City because she had natural antibodies in her body and was not infected.
She once believed that she was the only surviving human being in the world. She was alone in the smoke and grass of Manhattan, New York, with only her dog Samantha as a companion. In addition to surviving on her own, she also worked hard to develop this kind of
The antidote for infectious viruses…
At the end of the script, it is divided into two endings.
The first ending is that at the moment when the protagonist successfully isolates the antibody, zombies also invade her (his) fortress, and she can only sacrifice her own life to let the mother and son who fled here leave. In the end, these two people take her
The antibodies obtained at the cost of life are sent to human settlements that are not infected with the virus and have no antibodies.
The second ending is that after the zombies break through the protagonist's fortress, the male leader draws a butterfly pattern on the glass of the laboratory (the female zombie captured by the protagonist for experiment has a butterfly tattoo), and the protagonist finally understands the nature of zombies.
So the crazy attack on his fortress was to rescue the female zombie - the male leader's lover.
In the end, the protagonist returned the female zombie to the male leader, and completely changed his three-year view that zombies have no IQ and no emotions. He admitted that zombies as a new species exist equally with humans, and drove to Vermont with Anna and her son who had fled here.
Survivor settlement in the state.
Yi Feiyang knew that the first ending was a public release in his previous time and space, and the ones he watched online were usually the second ending. He didn't know which ending was better, but for himself, he preferred the second ending.
kind of ending, so there is no need to have two endings.
For this kind of "fast food script", Yi Feiyang, who is a gold medal screenwriter, digested it very quickly. After making some modifications and comments overnight, Yi Feiyang sent someone to send the script to the heroine of the play, Angelina Jolie.
Let her familiarize herself with the story and characters in advance.
During this period, it was not known who disclosed the script to Will Smith. Yi Feiyang guessed it was Dures because the company kept the script very confidential and there was no outsider except him.
After Will Smith read the script, he liked it very much and immediately ran over to ask Yi Feiyang, "Can I let him star in this drama?"
Yi Feiyang is so miserable. You must know that this drama in his previous life was the work of "Black Prince" Will Smith. Now that he created it in advance, he chose Angelina Jolie to play it. I feel sorry for Will.
I didn’t expect that Will would take the initiative to ask for the role. What should I do?
"I know, dear Yi, this will make you very embarrassed, but I think this drama is very suitable for me. Yes, I have a feeling that I am very destined for this drama. I hope you can consider it..." Will
Smith spoke very tactfully and tactfully, making Yi Feiyang embarrassed to reply to him immediately.
Afterwards, Yi Feiyang found Dures and asked him about the matter. Sure enough, Dures said that he told Will Smith the script because, "When I was not sure whether the protagonist was a boy or a girl, I felt threatening.
You are more suitable for the role in it!"
Dures's words made Yi Feiyang choke up. Yes, it seems that Dures's sensitivity to movie casting has exceeded his imagination.
Yes, Will Smith is very suitable for this drama. However, the "I Am Legend" that Yi Feiyang wants to create is definitely not the male version of the previous life, but a female version of "I Am Legend".
But what should Will do?
As a trump card of Fantasy Entertainment, we cannot let him down.
After thinking about it, Yi Feiyang found a team of screenwriters and told them this and that. Then he found the great director Gore Verbinski, whose "Pirates of the Caribbean" series was a hit and is now worth a lot of money.
He is a famous golden director in Hollywood. Yi Feiyang and Gore had been talking secretly for some time.
The next day, Yi Feiyang announced that Fantasy Entertainment's blockbuster science fiction film "I, Robot" will start filming in June, starring Will Smith and directed by Gore Verbinski!
Yes, this is a new movie that Yi Feiyang helped him create in order to make up for Will. It is also a science fiction blockbuster that made Will Smith popular again in his previous life.
Of course, Yi Feiyang is not simply trying to make up for Brother Will's fragile heart. The main reason is that this drama was very good in his previous life.
How awesome?
Costing more than US$100 million, the American thrilling science fiction blockbuster "I Robot" starring Hollywood superstar Will Smith grossed US$52.2 million at the box office during its opening weekend and was enthusiastically sought after by movie fans. The film shows an ingenious and exciting story.
The dazzling future world also creates a crisis-ridden science fiction adventure, allowing the audience to experience the thrills while thinking about the profound theme of the crisis of human existence.
It can be said that the influence and profitability of this "I, Robot" are no less than that of "I Am Legend".
After Will Smith read the script, he liked the play very much and was happy to be the leading actor in the play. He was even more happy to be able to work with the golden director Gore Verbinski.
Even after reading the script, the vice president had to admit that the male lead in this drama seemed more suitable for Will.
In short, the result is--everything is happy!
Looking back, Yi Feiyang began to work non-stop on his "I Am Legend". In order to cooperate with the TV series "The Walking Dead", Yi Feiyang had to speed up the preparation and filming of this drama. It is best to premiere on "The Walking Dead"
After that, it will be officially released, which means that the time left for Yi Feiyang is only one month at most.
Shooting a movie like this in a month is definitely a challenge for him.
You know, there is no shortage of fast-shooting movies in Hollywood. They are shot in a lot of time, but the quality of many movies is not guaranteed.
Do you want speed or quality?
This posed a problem for Yi Feiyang.
The outside world has also begun to discuss this.
"Oh my god, can you finish "I Am Legend" in one month? It won't be a bad movie!"
"Even if it's not a bad movie, it's still a fast food movie and will never become a classic!"
"Although China's Yi is amazing, this time, he is probably going to run into trouble!"
…
As a Hong Konger, I have experienced the rapid shooting techniques of Hong Kong movies. For example, during the most advanced period of Hong Kong movie development, a movie could be completed in seven days, such as "God of Gamblers" directed by Wang Jing, and "The God of Gamblers" directed by Yu Rentai.
"The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" and so on. These are all high-quality products, not rubbish. This also proves that if a movie is shot quickly, it does not necessarily mean a bad movie. On the contrary, if you polish it carefully for three or four years, it may not be perfect.
It's a classic.
After understanding this, Yi Feiyang began to comprehensively conceive of the play regardless of any worries or outside opinions.
To be honest, Yi Feiyang's definition of "I Am Legend" is not entirely a disaster horror film, but more of a literary film. Because there are not many descriptions of zombies in the film, the filming of the film is completely based on the inner activities of the protagonist.
Come on. Use the performance of the protagonist to let people experience the loneliness and terror of the doomsday, and better cherish the people in front of them.
But even so, if the description of zombies is still the same as in "Resident Evil", the impact of the visual effects will not be as great as imagined.
Because the success of "Resident Evil" has attracted many followers, the appearance of zombies in current zombie movies is similar to that of "Resident Evil".
Even a movie with a small investment strives to be closer to "Resident Evil" in terms of styling, which has now caused the audience's aesthetic fatigue. If "I Am Legend" uses this style again, it is estimated that just spitting will be enough to make the audience feel tired.
Yi Feiyang drowned.
What's more, in "The Walking Dead" directed by Yi Feiyang, the attributes of the zombies have been modified. Since the two dramas are to complement each other and promote each other, it is necessary to modify the zombies in it as well.
For this reason, Yi Feiyang boldly removed the name "zombie" and then created a new terrifying race---night demons!
The Night Stalker, as its name suggests, is a demon that appears at night. It is afraid of the sun, cruel, bloodthirsty, quick-moving, and likes to pounce on living animals.
The zombies in most movies can wander around and eat people no matter it is day or night.
If we learn from Chinese zombie movies, zombies cannot come out during the day, and they will be burned to death by the sunlight. The appearance of zombies is also darker, with blood vessels exposed in the skin, and the blood is black. The epidermis is the same as that of other zombies, without any
Hair.
These zombies are bloodthirsty and not only like to eat people, but also any living creature is their delicacy. The zombies have protruding teeth, that is, the canine teeth are exposed from the lips. They are afraid of light and fire, and are powerful enough to climb dozens of tall buildings.
Since they hide in the basement during the day, the zombies' skin is pale.
Thinking of this, Yi Feiyang summoned the great director Peter Jackson, who is also the founder of Weta Digital Special Effects. Now he is following Yi Feiyang and has become the best partner.
Peter Jackson is a master in makeup and special effects, especially the "Lord of the Rings" he directed is enough to prove his skill.
Yi Feiyang said nothing more and directly told Peter Jackson about his "Night Devil" idea. Peter snapped his fingers and said: "This is easy to handle. I will arrange it. You will see the result tomorrow!"
Yi Feiyang looked at his watch and said: "We don't have much time, just today. I hope to see the sample before dawn!"
"So urgent?" Peter Jackson was stunned for a moment, "Okay then, you are the boss, you have the final say."
Yi Feiyang was very tired and planned to squint for a while to recuperate his energy. This Jackson started to take action, found his special effects makeup artist, told them Yi Feiyang's request, and then a large group of people began to work non-stop.
Get in order.
In many movies, people only see the shocking effect of makeup special effects, such as the scene where the male protagonist's mother turns into a devil in "Zombies", and the scenes of various zombies in "Resident Evil"
The camera, but they don’t know that these “works” are almost all created by makeup and special effects.
Seemingly ordinary silicone, dough, or even inconspicuous yarn, hair, etc., turned into mysterious weapons in their hands. Under their rigorous and professional craftsmanship, soon, a "Night Demon"
