Chapter 336: The most expensive TV series in history is about to start

In the film "King Kong", Zhang Le has actually made some changes, especially the background of the characters, and even the location where he stood in a high-rise building to fight a jerk off at the end has changed.

In the film, Zhang Le ridiculed the bad taste of the Dubai royal family's pets. Raising lions and tigers, where can such a big orangutan show their essence as a tyrant.

And in the end, the high-rise building was not somewhere else, or the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building.

Next, Zhang Le and Yue Yang began to discuss some issues about the movie, and seemed to forget that there was a Yang Xin'er next to them, and Bao'er who was running around the house and laughing from time to time.

They discuss that the Jedi don't just need imagination for the pseudo-prehistoric natural landscapes that will appear in the film.

In the film, it also involves fist-sized mountain mosquitoes to be strafed with machine guns, alien-like terrifying creatures, and of course, the blue-faced and fanged barbarian tribe, ancient dinosaurs, and the "male number one" King Kong. The image design of these things requires a lot of brains.

Moreover, there are earth-shattering and thrilling orangutan dragon battles, human insect wars, and human ape wars, which will be the focus of the vision.

Of course, the scene where King Kong stepped on the top floor of the Burj Khalifa and fought with fighter jets at the end must be filmed so that the palms of those who are afraid of heights break out in cold sweat and their legs are weak.

These scenes must be shot with amazing effects, and the audience must experience a real blockbuster feeling vividly.

Naturally, the film will be shot in 3D.

Of course, in addition to these discussions, the two also discussed the film's theme implications, emotional brewing, and plot details.

In fact, it is not so much a discussion, but rather a discussion of Zhang Le's instillation of some things in this film in his previous life to Yueyang.

This film, which stews fantasy, thriller, adventure, disaster, action, love and other common elements of Hollywood blockbusters, arouses the pride in Yue Yang's heart to do a big job.

However, there are too many restrictions on a big job, and the most important of them is naturally funding. Blockbuster. Almost all of them are piled up with money.

As for the selection of scenery in Dubai, Zhang Le has a prince apprentice, which is naturally not a problem. Moreover, even if Zhang Le doesn't make a move, he can do it by himself.

"The investment in this film is probably a staggering number." Yue Yang said.

"He has never been stingy with his investment in films." Yang Xin'er said with a smile, "What's more, with your connections, it's not easy to find investment." But. This film, Xinle Film and Television can fully support it independently. ”

Yue Yang smiled and said, "I'm naturally not worried about investing. My concern is how to recoup the cost. ”

How much money Xinle Film and Television has, Yue Yang doesn't know. But he knows that investing in one or two films worth hundreds of millions of dollars has no pressure on today's Xinle Film and Television at all.

"Inception" grossed no less than a billion dollars at the box office and beyond. I don't know how many film and television companies are envious.

The most profitable movie in history, "Inception" is now well deserved. Excluding the costs of shooting, production, publicity and other costs, this film has also made a lot of money, and the unit is recorded in hundreds of millions of dollars.

"This "Godzilla", Yue Yang's evaluation is not low. You probably didn't plan to shoot it yourself, so who are you going to go to? ”

After Yue Yang left, Yang Xin'er looked at Zhang Le and asked.

"Among the Chinese directors, this kind of film. Yueyang is the most suitable. When Columbia Pictures chose Yue Yang as the director of "Jurassic Park", there was no lack of considerations in this regard. It's a pity that he was afraid of being talked about, so he refused. Zhang Le smiled. said, "There is no suitable director in Huaxia, but Hollywood has!" In fact. This story is more appropriate in the United States. It's not bad to revise the script and find a Hollywood director to shoot. ”

"Hollywood director?" Yang Xin'er looked at Zhang Le with some surprise, and then seemed to think of someone, her eyes widened, and then she smiled and said, "You won't be looking for Jack Johnson, will you?" ”

"Or do you know me." Zhang Le smiled and said, "He's not having a good time now." In the end, I did it all the way. ”

"You're suspicious of taking advantage of the situation!" Yang Xin'er smiled and said.

"Jurassic Park" made Columbia Pictures lose all its money, and Jack Johnson, the director, became a scapegoat and suffered unjustly. In fact, many people know that Jack Johnson's defeat is not a crime of war.

But defeat is defeat. Hollywood is so realistic. Zhang Le found Jack Johnson at this time, he will not only accept it, but also be very attentive, and even regard this film as his turnaround.

"It's too late." Zhang Le continued.

The publicity of "Kung Fu" gradually expanded and spread abroad. The film will be released simultaneously worldwide. It is so natural to be stained with the light of a 3D movie. And movies related to 3D seem to be attracting much attention.

Of course, "Kung Fu" has not yet been overwhelmingly publicized, and it cannot always dominate the attention of the media. However, Xinle Film and Television once again made headlines.

Of course, the reason for making headlines on the front page is that Yue Yang, a young Golden Dragon Award-winning director, joined Xinle Film and Television, set up his own film studio, and cooperated with Zhang Le to shoot a 3D blockbuster with an investment of 200 million US dollars.

Zhang Le, Tang Xiao, Yue Yang, the three most potential young directors in the Chinese director circle, are also the most famous and influential young directors, and they all won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director. It can be said that the three of them are representatives of young directors.

The three of them gathered at Xinle Film and Television, and many media directly threatened that Xinle Film and Television would become a well-deserved overlord of the Chinese film industry in 20 years.

However, many people say that it will not take 20 years at all.

Of course, among the three, Zhang Le can no longer be described by the word "potential". Potential, that is, potential ability and power, is the inner power or ability that has not been brought into play.

Zhang Le has obviously played out now. But he is still so young now, as for whether he has played to the extreme, only time will tell.

Although the news of Yue Yang's joining Xinle Film and Television is full of gimmicks, it is not shocking. What shocked was the generosity of Xinle Film and Television, an investment of 200 million US dollars, more than one billion Chinese dollars, and it seems that the investment in "Inception" was only this number.

This is undoubtedly another movie that is heading for overseas markets. Because it is difficult to rely on the domestic market alone, it can even be said that it is impossible to recover the cost. "Inception" hit an astonishing box office of 2 billion in China, didn't it also fail to recover its costs?

With such a large investment of 200 million US dollars, it is estimated that the entire Huaxia film and television company has such a big deal of money in Xinle Film and Television, which makes many directors in China think about it.

Today's Xinle Film and Television is undoubtedly a young director.

Xinle Film and Television has frequently made big moves, and it can be said that it is unique in China during this time. The "Inception" trend has just ended, and the topic of "Kung Fu" is brewing, and the $200 million blockbuster investment has attracted media attention again.

And when this matter was still being talked about, it was rumored that the most expensive TV series in China "Flood Wilderness" was about to be broadcast on CCTV TV channels and several other local satellite TVs.

"The Flood", a TV series adapted from the web novel of the same name, was highly anticipated from the beginning. Moreover, during the filming, it was frequently rumored that the budget was exceeded and additional investment was made, and the final production cost reached more than 200 million Chinese dollars. This number shocked the entire television circle.

In the end, even CCTV, a wealthy TV station, couldn't eat it alone. (To be continued.) )
