Chapter 404. ['Journey to the West']

After Yi Feiyang finished speaking, the reporters in the audience were talking a lot. At this time, another reporter raised his hand and asked: "Hello, China Yi. I heard that in addition to these outstanding Chinese actors, there are also some Hollywood stars who have joined this drama.

, is this true?”

"That's a good question." Yi Feiyang smiled and said, "Yes, although this is a top-notch Chinese film, I have considered the needs of the Hollywood market, so I have also arranged some more interesting roles for everyone.

Familiar Hollywood stars... For example, Mr. Keanu Reeves, I arranged for him to star in my movie Erlang Shen. This is a very important role. He is a heavenly war god comparable to the Monkey King. In Western terms

It is said that he is a combination of Apollo and Athena, with handsome appearance and super fighting power. Yes, in my opinion, no one can play this role perfectly except Reeves!"

"And this Mr. Jordan, you must have no idea what role I assigned him, right? Then I can tell you clearly again that the role I assigned him is the Giant Spirit God! A tall, powerful man

The heavenly warrior is also the first enemy that Monkey King Sun Wukong challenges. Although Mr. Jordan is very dark, I believe that as a giant spirit god, his figure and size are definitely qualified!"

"Of course, the director also saw the beautiful Latin queen Beyoncé next to me, but she will not play a role in this drama, but will sing the theme song of this drama... To be precise, she is

The theme song for the Hollywood version of this show."

"In addition to these stars, other actors from our Fantasy Entertainment will also make guest appearances in this movie appropriately according to their respective schedules. It has been confirmed that Robert Downey Jr. will guest star in the Dragon King of East China Sea, Nicolas Cage and Johnny De

Pu's guest stars Clairvoyance, Shunfeng Ear, and other stars will actually appear as easter eggs. You can look for them in the movie if you are interested..."

"Dear Yi, what about these Chinese actors? What are their respective roles?" another reporter asked.

"I think we should let them all introduce themselves!" Yi Feiyang stopped speaking appropriately and gave the right to speak to Brother Cheng Long and others. In his opinion, this is a good publicity opportunity that can help these people.

Chinese actors expand their visibility in Hollywood.

How could Brother Cheng Long and others not know Yi Feiyang's kindness? While grateful, they each took the microphone and started introducing themselves. The content of the introduction mainly included who they were, the character and story of the character they were going to play, etc.

Brother Cheng Long took the lead and said: "I think many people know me, I am Jack Chen. My Chinese name is Cheng Long, and I have acted in several movies in Hollywood. These include the "Rush Hour" series and the recently released "

"Around the World in Eighty Days". But unfortunately, the box office of this drama is not very satisfactory, and my foreign boss said that I may not get the dividends..."

This half-laughing sentence directly expresses the sorrow of Chinese actors. Working hard in Hollywood depends on people's faces. If you do well at the box office, you will be rewarded with a piece of bone. If you have a bad box office, you won't even have a bone to chew.

"But it doesn't matter. I don't care if I get dividends or not, because I have already spent enough money, and I don't need to risk my life to do it anymore. Besides, now I have accepted a very good role, which is in this "Havoc in Heaven"

The starring role is the Bull Demon King...a bull with extraordinary magical powers. He has a big nose, which looks very similar to mine. I think the director gave me this role because he was interested in my nose!"

Brother Cheng Long's humorous speech aroused bursts of laughter.

"Okay, I won't say any more, let's hand the microphone to my friend next to me. We all call him Fa Ge, which is an honorific title, because he is a great actor, and his acting skills are even more top-notch, in your Hollywood terms.

, he is a talented actor!" Cheng Long handed the microphone to Zhou Runfa while he was joking.

Zhou Runfa was not polite and took the microphone and said directly, "When it comes to acting, I may be better than Jack Chen, but when it comes to Chinese Kung Fu, I feel inferior!"



The next half hour was almost exclusively for Chinese actors. After Fa Ge finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Li Lianjie, then Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi, and Lin Yuling.

Among them, they told everyone about the roles they were going to play, such as Fa Ge as the Jade Emperor, Li Lianjie as King Li Tianwang, Michelle Yeoh as Guanyin Bodhisattva, Zhang Ziyi as the Seven Fairies, and Lucy Liu as the Queen Mother.

After the Chinese faction finally finished introducing their roles, Yi Feiyang took the microphone again. At this time, the reporters were full of energy again and interviewed him: "My dear Yi, such a powerful actor

Lineup, what do you think are the weaknesses?"

When Yi Feiyang heard the reporter's question, he couldn't help but frowned and said with a faint smile: "Weakness? Yes, just like the formation of troops, any lineup has weaknesses. And the biggest weakness of our lineup is

---They are all so good! Yes, just because they are so good, I was afraid that during filming, they would take away the protagonist's role, and sadly, that protagonist is me!"

Yi Feiyang's words immediately aroused a commotion in the scene.

A reporter excitedly said: "So, dear Yi, are you really going to star in this drama? Are all the previous rumors true?! Are you joking and hyping up?"

Seeing the reporter's excited stuttering, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but feel funny, "Do you think I'm joking? Besides, even if I really want to make a hype, I won't throw myself into the pot.

You know, acting is very hard!"

Those reporters ignored Yi Feiyang's teasing. What they were all concerned about was that Yi Feiyang was really going to act!

There are many big directors in Hollywood who make guest appearances in their own movies out of interest. For example, Quentin, the weird Hollywood director who directed the "Kill Bill" series, likes to appear in his own movies, and everyone is more familiar with it.

He played the younger brother of the male protagonist in "Dawn Until Dawn", a neurotic bastard. But this also became a very interesting part of his wonderful film life.

In addition, Hollywood actor Mel Gibson is a model for success in transitioning from an actor to a director. Mel Gibson became famous earlier and is well-known to everyone for "The Sky Cannon". Later he acted and directed.

With the help of Yi Feiyang, he filmed "The Passion of the Christ". And now he is preparing to film another drama of his own, "The Revelation of Maya".

In addition to them, there are many talented actors or directors in Hollywood who go back and forth between the two. If they act well, they will direct, and if they direct well, they will act.

Now, the legendary Chinese Yi and Miyang are finally embarking on this path. How can you not be excited?!

"Hello, dear Yi. Can you tell me why you want to star in this play? What unique insights do you have about this play? What do you know about the character?" a reporter asked.

Yi Feiyang was speechless, this time there were three questions again.

"How can I put it, I was forced to star in this play, because in my opinion, no one except myself can play the image of the Monkey King in my mind. In my mind, no one can play this role.

The story told in "Havoc in Heaven" is itself a myth with a very rebellious spirit! As the protagonist in the mythical story, the Monkey King Sun Wukong, he is a symbol. He is persevering and full of fighting spirit! He has great magical powers,

Despise the powerful, not be restrained by worldly forces, and be able to liberate yourself! In my opinion, he is very similar to me, neither likes to be restrained or comfortable, likes constant challenges, and likes to fight. Only with struggle can you constantly reinvent yourself.

, improve yourself. Only with a fighting spirit can you stay young and high-spirited forever!"

"Of course, those are some of the reasons why I starred in this movie. In addition, there is another reason, that is, I want to use this movie to compete with the great director Cameron's "Avatar". Yes, he is a

It is a big production. Regarding this, although I hold the mentality of not caring about box office gains and losses, not caring about word of mouth, not caring about winning or losing; but one thing is very important, even if you don’t despise your enemies, you must respect your opponents! I respect Ka

Mr. Cameron, so I will take the initiative to star in this drama and use my greatest strength to have a real contest with Mr. Cameron!"

"So, let me ask you, regarding this competition, do you think your "Havoc in Heaven" can really be successfully released in North American theaters? When such a movie is brought to the North American market, have you ever considered the audience's acceptance? After all,

This is a Chinese-language film, and there is a huge generation gap with the North American and even Western markets. Whether Western audiences like it or not is the key, isn’t it?" a reporter wearing a New York Daily News plaque asked eagerly.

When Yi Feiyang heard such a question, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, and said calmly: "Hollywood is a world movie factory, and it will not exclude any valuable movie! Although my movie uses oriental colors,

Chinese classical mythology is a magical theme shot from behind, but the shooting techniques and the scenes presented are still according to Hollywood specifications, such as Hollywood-style magic special effects, makeup special effects, and Hollywood-style

Blockbuster mode, etc... I believe that because of its novel oriental color, this movie will bring you more unexpected visual enjoyment!"

In fact, Yi Feiyang's horizons had already been extremely broadened at this time, and he was no longer just focused on the North American film market. As he shot more and more movies, his box office results continued to hit highs, both in terms of popularity and influence.

He was far ahead of others, and at this time, Yi Feiyang was already confident that he could support the drama "Havoc in Heaven" with his unparalleled popularity alone.

In addition, as Yi Feiyang said just now, with his understanding and understanding of Hollywood movies, he is no longer as at a loss as before in the field of blockbuster films. On the contrary, he has a "vision" that modern people cannot match.

", the inspiration brought to him by many super blockbusters in his previous life has made him twenty years ahead of his contemporaries!

With these twenty years of valuable experience, Yi Feiyang believes that he will be able to use the best special effects and makeup effects in Hollywood to create his own magical blockbuster.

Finally, another reporter stood up and asked an extremely direct question. She asked: "Yi, aren't you afraid that your play will fail?"

Yes, aren't you afraid of failure?

Are you afraid that your first starring movie failed miserably to Cameron?

You support Chinese-language films but want to shine in Hollywood. This is undoubtedly a tightrope to walk!

Everyone looked at Yi Feiyang, waiting for his answer.

Yi Feiyang smiled and then said: "As a Chinese director, I have a dream. That is to shoot an excellent Chinese film. Now, I am doing such a thing. "Havoc in Heaven" is mine.

Dream, admittedly, many people in Hollywood and Americans may not accept such a Chinese-language film, but I still want to make it! No matter what lies ahead, I will complete this work and promote it to North America, to the world, and to the world.

worldwide!"

Push it to North America, push it to the world, push it to the whole world!

Everyone in the audience was stunned, no one would have thought that Yi Feiyang would answer like this.

Be straightforward, direct, and not pretentious!

Although many people had guessed this before, they were still slightly touched when they heard it from Yi Feiyang. Especially the Chinese people present could deeply understand Yi Feiyang's good intentions.

Helping Chinese-language films go abroad and to the world is the dream of many people!

But this dream is too heavy. In the history of Chinese-language films, it has been dashed and broken again and again; hopes have been gathered, but the result is a complete failure!

Now, Yi Feiyang wants to use his own practical actions to realize this dream. Will the dream still be shattered?

No one knows!

But one thing is clear to everyone, and that is Yi Feiyang’s unparalleled courage! The courage to challenge the structure of the world film industry!

To push Chinese films to the top of the world, who else but me?!



The press conference ended successfully.

But what is not over yet is the impact of this press conference.

The whole of North America was in an uproar because of this incident.

"China's Yi is confirmed to star in "Havoc in Heaven" and challenge "Avatar" with a Chinese-language film!"

"Magic Yang will transform into the Monkey King, and Chinese magic and North American science fiction will face off!"

"With all the stars joining the cast of "Upheaval," the popularity will surely surpass that of Cameron!"

In addition to these big and small titles, there are also some Hollywood filmmakers who sneer at it. Among them, Yi Feiyang's opponent Cameron is even more disdainful. In his view, Yi Feiyang's most threatening movies are science fiction and horror films.

Isn't it just asking for death to make a Chinese fantasy movie and compete with myself? What bullshit "Havoc in Heaven", how many people in the United States have heard of this story? And how many people know that there once was a monkey named Sun Wukong?!

Yes, not only did Cameron dislike Yi Feiyang's drama, but many filmmakers couldn't figure out why Yi Feiyang would be so stupid as to oppose Cameron with this drama.

This is simply seeking death!

Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?!

There are times when China is confused!

Let’s see how he cries in the future!



Yes, Yi Feiyang actually realized this, that is, the story of "Havoc in Heaven" is not popular in North America or even the West.

Except for those Americans who have been exposed to Chinese culture, few people know about such a magical story.

Of course, compared with before, when Yi Feiyang announced the filming of this movie, the entire United States was probably talking about this topic, so the Monkey King Sun Wukong was probably picked out from the Internet world and the library by many people.

However, in Yi Feiyang's view, such intensity is not enough. Although his popularity has made Americans crave the Monkey King story, many people still don't understand it, so they must really like it.

.

what to do?

A very wonderful idea suddenly appeared in Yi Feiyang's mind.

Maybe, this will work!



Yi Feiyang's idea is very simple, which is to make the story of "Havoc in Heaven" into an online game. To be precise, make this story, and the characters in the story, into an online game to make people familiar with it!

Yifeiyang has a good partner here, which is Blizzard Game Company, which has established an extremely close relationship with Fantasy Entertainment.

Since this game company cooperated with Fantasy Entertainment, with the strong support of Fantasy Entertainment funds, it has become a giant in the gaming industry in North America and even the world. Produced by Blizzard, "Warcraft" and "Dark God of Destruction"

》 series has become a hot topic among everyone.

Now, Yi Feiyang intends to let Blizzard develop "Havoc in Heaven" and make it an online game, so as to get a head start before the movie starts shooting.

However, game development does not happen overnight. Sometimes it takes three to five years to develop a new game. How can Blizzard complete this impossible task in the shortest time?

Yi Feiyang has already prepared for them, that is, "stealing the game"!

Specifically, Yi Feiyang played a very classic online game called "Westward Journey" in his previous life. This game is simple, easy to play, and attractive.

A few years ago, Yi Feiyang summoned people from Blizzard to develop the game he came up with. However, this game project has remained mysterious and has not been made public.

Now, the production of this game has basically been completed, and it just needs to be launched and launched.

It happened that Yi Feiyang was filming "Havoc in Heaven" at this time, which means that the two things came together very cleverly.

Considering these factors, Yi Feiyang came up with a very bold idea, which was to change "Westward Journey" to "Havoc in Heaven"!

Secretly change the name of the game to completely promote your own movie!

Of course, although Yi Feiyang is the CEO of Fantasy Entertainment and the largest shareholder of Blizzard Games, this matter still needs to be discussed with Blizzard's executive and the company's top figure, Alan Adham. (To be continued, please contact us.)
