Chapter 108: He's going to make a big production this time (II)

What Zhang Le didn't expect was that he didn't receive a reply from Li Jie, but he attracted Chen Ke's call. I had some doubts, but I was relieved when I thought about it.

Before Li Jie went to Hollywood, he and Chen Ke were old partners, and even Li Jie can have today in addition to his own efforts, I am afraid that Chen Ke's credit is indispensable. The two can be described as teachers and friends.

If it is said that understanding can achieve today's achievements, the most important person to thank is undoubtedly Chen Ke.

"Did Director Chen say two good words for me?" When Zhang Le heard and asked if he invited Li Zhuo to act in a new film, he immediately replied with a smile.

"Anyway, do you want to report it?" Chen Ke smiled and said.

"That's easy to say!" Zhang Le said with a smile.

"Just kidding!" Chen Ke said with a smile, "From Li Jie's words, I can hear that he is a little moved by your script, but he has some concerns." I guess he'll talk to you again. Whether you can dispel his concerns or not depends on your own ability. ”

When Zhang Le heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Then I will thank Director Chen first." I'll be able to invite you to dinner when I come back. ”

"That's a good feeling." Chen Ke smiled and said, "I thought you were holding your breath and going to make a movie to fight for the Golden Dragon Awards, but I didn't expect you to make a big move and pay attention to Li Jie." Martial arts movies are not easy to shoot now! ”

"Tough bones taste when you bite them." Zhang Le smiled and said.

"How?"

After Zhang Le hung up the phone, Yang Xin'er asked curiously.

"Li Jie is tempted, but he doesn't have much confidence in me, and he has some concerns." Zhang Le smiled and said.

"I'm sure you'll be able to make him worry about it all." Yang Xin'er smiled and said.

"We're coming to the end of our trip." Zhang Le said apologetically.

Yang Xin'er smiled and looked at Zhang Le, but suddenly asked, "Luo Xiaohu, who are you going to find to play?" ”

When Zhang Le heard this, he was stunned at first. Then seeing Yang Xin'er's smile, Zhang Le suddenly understood. Yang Xin'er starred in the film Yu Jiaolong, and Luo Xiaohu and Yu Jiaolong had an intimate scene in the film. Yang Xin'er asked with such an expression, and the meaning was self-evident.

"I'll act!" Zhang Le thought about it, then smiled and said.

Zhang Le doesn't like to be in front of the screen, which doesn't mean that he rejects it. What's more, his planned "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was originally intended to star in himself. It's also good to accumulate some acting skills first.

persuaded Li Jie and didn't cost Zhang Le much of a tongue. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" Zhang Le has a reference to the original version, and spent a lot of energy analyzing, thinking, and researching. He is undoubtedly more attentive to this movie than the previous two.

Although the first two films are classics, the artistry and the influence and achievements of the film itself still cannot be compared with this one.

Zhang Le didn't expect to achieve the same achievements as the original in his previous life, but he didn't allow himself to have an original reference and the shooting was unsatisfactory. Standing on the shoulders of giants, you must be higher than actually touching. As for the achievements of the original version, in addition to the movie itself, there are also factors in its own environment.

The movie itself can be controlled by Zhang Le, but the overall environment is controlled by Zhang Le. Just like the contenders for those awards, who can guarantee that?

Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er returned from Hawaii, and "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" has been painted, unexpectedly achieving a box office of more than 500 million, and "Crazy Stone" has won a total box office of one billion, which undoubtedly surprised many film and television companies.

What surprised me was not this box office total, but the comparison between the investment cost and this box office total. The profitability of these two films makes many film and television companies envious, jealous and hateful.

Xinle Film Studio seems to have a trend of transforming into a film and television company, and the recruitment during this period has attracted many people to join.

Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er returned to China very low-key and did not attract much attention. As soon as he returned to China, Zhang Le began to prepare for a new film.

And Zhang Le did not determine the cast in the first place, but invited Ye Ming, the leading art director in China, and Bao Zhen, the director of photography.

Cinematography and art direction were crucial to the film. Although Zhang Le has the original version as a reference, he can't be exhaustive in all the subtleties. He didn't have that ability, he didn't have that energy.

Ye Ming and Bao Zhen are very famous, and they have not signed any film and television companies, so they can be regarded as freelance filmmakers. But they have never lacked work to do, and some even pick films and directors.

Zhang Le was also very lucky, and he encountered their gap period. can convince them, but Zhang Le wasted his strength.

Zhang Le is very famous and has a strong box office appeal, but in the eyes of filmmakers like Ye Ming and Bao Zhen, he is a newcomer, and he even looks down on him.

The two are already master-level filmmakers, and they are frequent visitors to the Golden Dragon Award, and almost all of the directors they cooperate with are at the level of big directors. Although Zhang Le's two movies have caused a lot of sensation, he is still a newcomer in the circle. In terms of cinematography and art, the two films are really not good.

The formation of a movie is actually not a long time to shoot, but it is different when you count the pre-preparation and post-production.

The crew was successfully formed, and this time Zhang Le spent a lot of effort and invited many famous filmmakers, and the level of the entire crew has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Of course, Zhang Le's promotion of his crew is also an excellent opportunity.

Although Zhang Le knew the location of the filming location, he still took the crew on a field trip and discussed it again and again.

During this period, the cast was also confirmed.

Li Jie, an international action superstar, plays Li Mubai, Yang Xin'er plays Yu Jiaolong, Zhang Le plays Luo Xiaohu, and another heroine, Yu Xiulian Zhang Le, invited Yang Liu.

Yang Liu is the younger sister of dancer Yang Li, and she was also born in dance. However, instead of developing in the dance world, she used her dance foundation to achieve great success in action movies. It can be said that it is the leading female beating in China. What's even more commendable is that she is also the queen of the Golden Dragon Award, and her acting skills are excellent.

Yang Liu is now in his thirties and nearly forty years old, he was once a smash hit, and he semi-retired after getting married, and his reputation may not be as good as before, but playing the role of Yu Xiulian is still expected.

The four leading actors were confirmed, and the supporting roles were also confirmed. The extremely important role of the blue-eyed fox is played by Zhen Pei, the actor of Mrs. China in "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance". This is somewhat similar to the original versions of the two movies in the previous life.

Zhang Le is now an extremely famous director, and he is much more popular than ordinary directors, so he is still extremely concerned about his new film.

What's more, he and Yang Xin'er themselves have attracted media attention, and Zhang Le's empty-handed return at the Golden Dragon Award has caused a lot of discussion. The film "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" has polarized word-of-mouth again, and under its amazing box office comparison, it has caused a lot of topics.

is a film that has attracted much attention, and after the list of main creators was announced, it immediately shocked the entire film and television industry. Everyone can see that Zhang Le's new film is going to be a big production!
