Chapter 391: Americans Are Not the Only Ones Who Can Save the World
Chapter 391: It's Not Just Americans Who Can Save the World
works very hard and can endure hardships, but it just can't become popular, in addition to being born at the wrong time, there is also no opportunity like Li Jie.
and Li Jie are brothers, and their styles are too similar. When he debuted, Li Jie had already swept the whole of Southeast Asia and was sought after by countless fans. And the **** debut, the road is also set according to the road that Li Jie has walked, and it is naturally difficult to be recognized by fans.
Without your own characteristics, you can only be a foil forever.
Li Jie and other older generation of kung fu superstars are either old or leave Hollywood, it should be their turn to come out, but they don't want kung fu movies to decline. What is it that is not born at the wrong time?
Li Mingdao became popular overnight, and then met a few nobles, lifting shoes all the way, and only then did he have today's achievements. Just like if it weren't for Zhang Le's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he Li Jie might not have been able to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood. Not to mention that he is now a Hollywood A-lister.
Zhang Le is not Li Jie's nobleman.
has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and has had opportunities and lost opportunities. And this time he was invited to be the leading actor of "Wolf Warrior", and he could naturally see that this was a great opportunity.
Although this movie is not directed by Zhang Le, it is produced by Zhang Le, so this work will not be much worse. This is not his blind confidence in Zhang Le, but Zhang Le has proved it with facts.
Nowadays, in all the movies, who doesn't know that as long as the movies are related to Zhang Le, almost all of them will be popular. Not to mention the films he writes and produces. Even if this film is a military-themed film that is not favored by countless media, even if he himself has no confidence in the young director of Na Ge who has only filmed TV series, he must seize this opportunity.
This is his own opportunity, not the opportunity of the young director Liu Meng.
What is the relationship between Xinle Film and the military, **** has only heard some rumors, but I don't know about it. But. He easily entered the army, and it was not an ordinary army, so he understood a little. This is just a person from Xinle Film and Television who does not have a high position.
If Zhang Le came forward, how much movement would he make?
Of course, **** took this drama very happily, and was very attentive, and didn't even regard this film as a breakthrough for himself, not only because of Zhang Le, but also because he was also optimistic about military-themed movies, and even wanted to get out of his own way with this.
The preparation of "Wolf Warrior" is very high-profile. And Zhang Le's new film is a lot more low-key. There is not much information about his non-main theme movie, except for the two male protagonists played by Zhou Run and Feng Lei, there is not even an exact information about what the theme of the film is.
Of course, in the eyes of everyone, most of the films with the main theme are war films, or feature films like documentaries.
"Science fiction?" Feng Lei looked at Zhang Le, and the corners of his mouth twitched. said, "Are you sure that this film is linked to the three words of the main theme?" ”
"Why not?" Zhang Le smiled and said, "Describe the authorities as lofty." Isn't it the leitmotif? It's not that no one can save the world. ”
"Alright! I was speechless. Feng Lei shook his head, and then said, "Aren't you afraid that after the movie is released, the media will say that you use the main theme to hype?" ”
"Do you think I care what the media says these days? Let alone. My Zhang Le's film is going to be hyped, and I won't use this topic. Moreover, I never said what kind of movie this film is from the beginning? I'm just making a film to be released on the occasion of the 60th National Day! Could it be that the films released at that time could only be tribute films? ”
Feng Lei looked at Zhang Le. And speechless.
"National Day", with this title as the title, is indeed the best on the National Day. Feng Lei sighed a little, if he changed to another director and stepped on this kind of side-kick, it would be purely a rhythm of death. The media can spray it to death, no matter how good the movie you make.
If you shoot garbage, you will be directly thrown into a place of no return, and it is too difficult to turn over.
Zhang Le now has this capital, not to mention how the media criticizes him, it is difficult to play much of a role. Because he is now simply an iconic figure in the Chinese film industry, Huaxia fans naturally do not allow the media to ruin him.
Moreover, those media will not do that, at least they will take care of Zhang Le's background.
The film "National Day" is an influential film "Independence Day" adapted by Zhang Le from his previous life, which tells the story of a giant alien mothership entering the earth's orbit and releasing more than 30 small spaceships into the earth's atmosphere, staying in the sky over several major cities in the world, causing panic among people. The story of the President of the United States (Bill Pullman) uniting world leaders to discuss a solution, and the scientist (Jeff Goldblum) and Air Force Colonel Stephen Hill (Will Smith) work together to fight for the fate of humanity in order to stop the alien invasion and defend the Earth.
Of course, "National Day" cannot be completely copied, at least the adaptation is more in line with the national conditions. There is no president in China, but there are two people in the country. Many of the characters have also changed a little, but the overall context has not changed. is like the wife of the Air Force colonel played by Feng Lei, who is a dancer in the original version, if it is still set like this, it will inevitably be criticized.
The possibility of a colonel marrying a dancing girl in China is almost zero.
And the scientist is naturally played by Zhou Run.
There are many things in the film, Zhang Le doesn't want to copy the original, such as the appearance of aliens, such as their spaceship. These require the making of models. However, these are not problems at all for Zhang Le's current team.
Of course, this film is not so easy, especially Zhang Le is extremely ambitious and wants to surpass the original, especially visually.
In terms of visual use, Zhang Le has absolutely few opponents. And this time, he is ready to destroy Yanjing City. The Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the Temple of Heaven, together with the Great Wall outside Yanjing.
There is no shortage of landmark buildings in China. Filming its destruction in the war actually took some risks. After all, the river crab god in China is still very fierce. A lot of things, not as unscrupulous as Hollywood.
Hollywood films can mock its president and diffuse its politics with impunity. But in China, you mock the country's leaders, diffract politics and give it a try, not to mention that this film is impossible to be released, you yourself have to be unlucky.
In Huaxia, there are not many directors who have been banned because of a movie.
However, these are not difficult things for Zhang Le. He first sent the script to the relevant departments, and if you approve it, I will shoot it, and if you don't approve it, then I won't shoot it.
The relevant departments are naturally very cautious about Zhang Le's script. Not only because Zhang Le is behind the Yang family and the Li family, but also because Zhang Le's influence is too great now. They naturally know that they are not welcomed in the hearts of fans, and if they don't pass because Zhang Le destroyed the Great Wall and other buildings in the film, it is estimated that they will be scolded to death by fans.
Xinle Film and Television's films have always been relatively wide. Zhang Le's view of this film, although it destroyed several landmark buildings in China, but it portrayed the leaders of China as tall and neutralized various reasons, and this film naturally has no reason not to pass.
And the script passed, and the preparation naturally accelerated the pace. Although the release time on the 60th National Day is not very tight, Zhang Le hopes to give enough time for post-production. (To be continued.) )
