Chapter 417: Build a brand of Xinle Film and Television
Chapter 417 to build a brand of Xinle Film and Television
Zhang Le continued to shoot his films, and Zhang Le ignored the film and television companies that followed the trend of shooting alien movies. He wouldn't have been as worried about ruining an alien movie as any other filmmaker would.
What's more, in Zhang Le's view, the great development of alien movies is not something that he and Tang Xiao, nor Xinle Film and Television can shoot and complete. Following the trend, it doesn't have to be all garbage.
There are many classic movies about aliens in Hollywood, and Huaxia is not necessarily the only one who can shoot good alien movies.
However, Zhang Le really doesn't dare to hope for the urine of those film and television companies in Huaxia and the amount of money they have invested, if they want to make good movies.
Of course, it's not that you can't make a good alien movie with little investment. But if you invest too little, it's impossible. After all, alien movies must use a lot of special effects.
Special effects, which are developing well now, are also a money-burning thing.
Moreover, what Zhang Le and others didn't expect was that it took more than two months for someone to release it directly during the Spring Festival.
Filming a movie, there must be a cycle, and in addition, publicity, scheduling and other issues, a few months is undoubtedly shoddy, not to mention that it is still a science fiction movie about aliens.
Bad movie, no doubt bad movie. The result is undoubtedly that he was scolded to the fullest. However, what people didn't expect was that this bad movie actually got the cost back in the first two days under the banner of aliens.
"Now the movie about aliens is going to be stinked by them." Zhou Run got the news, and when he was resting, he said to Zhang Le, "How can you see that you are not angry at all?" This film genre of films, but you and Xinle Film and Television will carry it forward, um, and even go international. If you are ruined by them like this, you are really not angry? ”
"Why am I angry?" Zhang Le smiled and said, "This movie is under the banner of aliens, and it is not the same as being overwhelmed by a military-themed movie by my Xinle Film and Television." Even in the first two days, its box office was amazing, and it was much less than "Wolf Warrior". Now, with the spread of word of mouth, isn't the box office of that movie even a fraction of that of "Wolf Warrior"? ”
"Why do I think you're answering the question!" Zhou Run frowned and said, "Huaxia has finally made some achievements in the genre of science fiction movies, especially movies about aliens, which are even more famous abroad. These guys have done this, constantly ruining the domestic market, and I'm afraid that the foreign market will also be affected, right? ”
"Just a movie like theirs, and you want to release it abroad?" Zhang Le smiled and said, "As for the domestic ones, they can't destroy them." ”
"One can't be destroyed. But there are a lot of bad movies about aliens, I'm afraid that fans will directly resist when they hear about aliens, right? Zhou Run continued. He has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and there are few bad movies in the films, and he also has a little understanding of the film market. What's more, this thing is obvious. It's not like it hasn't happened before.
It has naturally appeared before, and Zhang Le also knows it. This world is the same as in the previous life, because there are too many bad movies that follow the trend, it directly ruined a movie with a theme. And the theme of destruction is still the same. That's a movie about zombies.
And Chow Run experienced this at the time, so when he saw that movies about aliens had the same development trend as zombie movies, he showed a trace of worry.
As an actor and a person who loves movies, he naturally hopes that Chinese films will develop in a good direction.
Although the bad movie was scolded to the fullest, it recovered the cost in two days, and then although the box office plummeted, it was an indisputable fact that it made a lot of money.
"Huh!" Zhang Le still smiled and said, "Without their bad movies, how can I bring out the good movies produced by my Xinle Film and Television." Maybe it won't be long before there will be such an impression in the hearts of fans: Xinle production must be a high-quality product! ”
"Xinle products, must be high-quality!" When Zhou Run heard this, his face changed. However, it was followed by a smile.
Xinle's movies may not be able to do this now. After all, Xinle Film and Television is now the largest in China, and it has abundant funds, and it invests in a lot of movies every year. There are even big-budget movies that have had bad movies.
Many of Zhang Le's movies have very low ratings, but at most they are a little controversial in terms of word-of-mouth. No critic or fan would call Zhang Le's movie a bad movie.
No matter how bad the film is, the box office is amazing, and it is not so bad.
Of course, many of Zhang Le's movies are not highly rated, mainly because they are mostly commercial movies. No matter how low the score is, there has never been a shoddy work.
Xinle Film and Television has bad movies, but there is absolutely no shoddy production.
Perhaps, it is really as Zhang Le said. It won't be long before fans will have the impression that "Xinle produced must be a high-quality product".
Movies, like many things, don't stand up to comparison.
"National Day" and "Men in Black" are big hits, although the ratings are not high, and even the ratings of "National Day" are relatively low. But in the hearts of fans, these two movies are definitely science fiction films, especially classics in movies about aliens. If Xinle Film and Television produces one or two more classic movies about aliens, perhaps Xinle Film and Television will establish its own brand in this regard.
"You're going to make another movie about aliens, right?" Zhou Run's eyes lit up, and he said suddenly.
If Zhang Lezhen plans to make a movie about aliens to establish the authority of Xinle Film and Television in this regard, Zhou Run is naturally moved. He knows very well how much benefit "National Day" and "Men in Black" have brought him. Not to mention anything else, not long after "Men in Black" was released in North America, he received invitations from many Hollywood films, and it was no surprise that all of them were male leads. And the salary given is almost to the level of a Hollywood A-list superstar.
However, he was very strict in his selection of films, and the salary he gave was high, and he didn't have all of them, but he just chose one or two of the most promising ones. But after working with Zhang Le so many times, he has too much confidence in Zhang Le, and he dares to accept it without even reading the script.
"Definitely considering." Zhang Le smiled and said, "However, it may not be necessary to guide it personally. You also know that after the filming of this movie, I will shoot "Transformers", and there will definitely be no time for this year or two. ”
"Then you plan to let Tang Xiao direct, right?" Zhou Run said, "He is really good at science fiction films. ”
Although Tang Xiao is good, compared to Zhang Lelai, Zhou Run still feels a lot worse.
"What, you want to work with him again?" Zhang Le asked with a smile.
Zhou Run and Tang Xiao have indeed cooperated not once or twice, and the relationship between the two is not bad.
"Naturally, I want to cooperate, but if filming starts recently, I'm afraid the schedule will be wrong." Zhou Run said with some regret.
"There will be time later." Zhang Le said with a smile.
In fact, the movie that Zhang Le thought of has indeed been selected for the leading role, not Zhou Run. is now a kung fu actor who is now highly praised for "Wolf Warrior". Advance.
A movie about a war with aliens.
It's just that Zhang Le is a little worried about whether Tang Xiao can control the big scene and the battlefield scene. (To be continued.) )
