Chapter 385 will not make such a film in the future

Writing a novel, or writing a series of novels, mixed with the name of a best-selling author, Zhang Le just thinks about it. Comparatively speaking, he was far more interested in making films than in writing novels.

However, it is not impossible to write in your spare time in the future.

After accompanying Bao'er at home for a while, Zhang Le and his wife gradually returned to work. And the preparation of "The Grandmaster" has been basically completed, and the start of shooting is imminent.

At this time, "Tomb Raider" was painted in China. Although the box office performance is not as good as the previous "Xin'er in Wonderland", it has also broken through the one billion box office mark, and it doesn't seem to be much of a problem to win the annual box office championship. Because judging from the unreleased works of other film and television companies, there seems to be no film that has a chance to break the billion box office mark. Unless there is a dark horse!

The box office champion of the year, it seems that as long as Zhang Le releases a film, he is the only one.

And a week later, North America and other places also painted one after another, and the box office statistics came out, and countless film and television companies shook their heads and sighed again. "Tomb Raider" does not have the big scenes of "Xin'er in Wonderland", nor does it have the impeccable logic and suspense and shocking visual effects of "Inception", why is "Tomb Raider" still a great success in the Western market?

What is the secret of Zhang Le's success?

"Tomb Raider" was painted in North America, with a total box office of nearly 400 million US dollars, while the box office in Europe, America and Southeast Asia was as high as 500 million, and the global total box office exceeded 1 billion US dollars.

What is the success of this film? Why is it so sought after by Western movie fans?

Many filmmakers, especially those in China, can't guess. "Tomb Raider" is not very good in terms of media evaluation or film critics, both at home and abroad. But why is the box office so amazing?

"Inception" achieved such a high box office, not only because the film itself is excellent, but also because this film is the world's first 3D film. This gimmick can make an immeasurable box office.

"Xin'er in Wonderland" achieved such a high box office because the beautiful scenery inside attracted countless fans, and there were unimaginable scenes in it. That visual treat. is also enough to support the box office of this film.

But what's inside Tomb Raider? After watching the film, when I walked out of the theater, I even forgot what this film was about, except for those exaggerated action scenes, I am afraid that Yang Xin'er was wearing a cautious T-shirt to show off her wild sexiness.

Of course, in addition to these, there may also be a different visual experience created by 3D technology.

Since Zhang Lezhi's debut, he has shot countless films, but he has succeeded again and again, and it seems that he has never failed. Especially at the box office. And since "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it has opened up the Western film market step by step and won the recognition of countless Western fans. Today, among Chinese directors, Zhang Le is undoubtedly the director with the most box office appeal in the West, and he is also the most well-known Chinese director.

Films like "Tomb Raider" are undoubtedly easy for many big directors in China to control, but why are others shooting them, but they have never been recognized by Western fans. This confuses many people.

What kind of magic does Zhang Le have?

"The Grandmaster" is based on the background of the northern fist going south seventy or eighty years ago, and tells a corner of the rivers and lakes at that time with fist. The protagonist is Ip Man, the grandmaster of the Wing Chun generation of Southern Boxing, but the heroine is the daughter of Gong Haneda, the grandmaster of Northern Boxing, a woman destined for a tragic life. Perhaps it is this tragic color of hers that makes the actress who plays her.

The preparations for "The Grandmaster" are very well prepared. Whether it is the story background, costume design, or even the martial arts design inside, it is very exquisite. But even so, after the film was launched. Zhang Lecai found that making a film like this was far more difficult than he imagined.

The classics are up front. Zhang Le took this as a reference and vowed to surpass, but when it was time to shoot, he realized that it was difficult to surpass, not to mention surpassing, even if he was filming in his previous life. Now Zhang Le knows why this film was filmed for so long in his previous life.

Of course, there are too many factors for the reason why this film was filmed for so long in the previous life. And many of these factors cannot be restrained by Zhang Le. Zhang Le is a person who practices martial arts, and he still has a certain understanding of the northern fist going south seventy or eighty years ago, and he also has a certain understanding of the rivers and lakes at that time. I also know a lot about boxing. Compared with the sunglasses of the previous king, it naturally has an innate advantage.

But I have to admit that the use of Wang sunglasses in the lens and the artistic sense presented by the picture are still inferior to Zhang Le, who is now good at shooting commercial films. If you really want to achieve the ultimate in the film, it is completely beyond Zhang Le's current ability. Just like when Zhang Le filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it was a little reluctant, if it wasn't for the original version as a reference, I'm afraid the shooting would be difficult to see.

Zhang Le is not a perfectionist, but he is unwilling to use the original as a reference, and the shooting is not as good as the original. He seemed to feel that he couldn't afford to lose someone like that. So when it comes to shooting, some shots are dozens or hundreds of times at a time, which directly tosses the actors and crew to the point of almost collapse.

The crew almost collapsed, but it was undoubtedly Zhang Le who was under more pressure. He gave too much ambition in this film.

"Are you alright?" Yang Xin'er said to Zhang Le, who was frowning.

"What can I do, it's just a little distressed." Zhang Le said with a wry smile, "Do you think I'm asking too much?" ”

"You're just trying to be the best you can be." Yang Xin'er smiled and said, "Actually, everyone understands you." Everyone wants to make this film well. ”

"No matter how well this film is filmed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a difference at the box office! Especially at the foreign box office. I really don't want to make such a film in the future. Zhang Le shook his head and said. This film is not going to the box office at all.

"Everyone can see that your film is not rushing to the box office." Yang Xin'er said with a smile, "Why, are you afraid that when the time comes, those media will directly regard this film as your 'Waterloo' and sneer at you?" ”

"If those media are like that, I'm afraid their faces will be swollen. I expect them to sneer at me. It's best to say that I'm exhausted, and that I'm in a slump and want to quit the film and television industry. Zhang Le said with a smile.

Today's media, after the release of Zhang Le's film, seems to have room for wording. That room was naturally reserved for themselves. At the beginning, Zhang Leke swollen the faces of those media. Now, Zhang Le obviously doesn't have that opportunity, and the media will not give Zhang Le this opportunity. Because today's Zhang Leruo slapped their faces, I'm afraid that their faces will not be swollen, but broken.

"If those media knew that you had reshot a shot hundreds of times in order to get it to the extreme, they wouldn't have sneered at the film." Yang Xin'er said with a smile.

Zhang Le's films have always been shown to be high at the box office, and if there is suddenly a film with a very poor box office (for Zhang Le), taking the opportunity to hype it is naturally the best feature of those media, and it is inevitable to take the opportunity to sneer.

The media used the box office to be too different from Zhang Le's previous films and sneered, but when Zhang Le won awards again and again with this film, it naturally swollen the media's face.

Zhang Le is well known for his expertise in commercial films. But in art films, Zhang Le also has a deep attainment, but it is just covered up by his amazing commercial achievements. Just like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", is the artistry poor? It's just that its box office is too amazing, especially breaking the box office record of Chinese films in the West. So they forget about its artistry.

Zhang Le is not optimistic about the box office of "The Grandmaster". However, others such as Yang Xin'er have great confidence. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can win such a high box office, why can't "The Grandmaster"? They all have a strong literary atmosphere. (To be continued.) )
