Chapter 416: Alien Craze

The schedule of the two films was settled because of Zhang Le, and "Iron Fist" continued to be filmed. Compared with the previous "National Day", this movie is undoubtedly much more filmed.

Of course, post-production is much less. In terms of visual effects, it is naturally inferior. However, the film did not rely on the visual to succeed. What's more, Zhang Le is not willing to be a director who relies only on vision to support the movie. No matter how good the movie is at the box office.

Zhang Le is no longer the director who blindly pursues the box office.

In fact, just like the previous "National Day" opened the Chinese sci-fi alien movie, and this "Iron Fist" undoubtedly opened the Chinese sci-fi robot movie.

"Men in Black" is another alien movie after "National Day", and "Transformers", which Zhang Le has not yet filmed, is undoubtedly another robot movie.

"National Day" set off an alien craze and squeezed out the big sales of "Men in Black". And "Iron Fist" is paving the way for "Transformers".

Of course, "Transformers" has done enough foreshadowing.

Although "Iron Fist" has more scenes in the filming, there are no big scenes after all, so the filming time is not much. What's more, Zhang Le's movies have always been very well prepared, and if there is no accident in shooting, it will not be affected.

However, such a movie is naturally not shoddy, and it can't be finished in a month or two when filmed.

"Men in Black" was released and a grand premiere was held, but Zhang Le, as the screenwriter and producer, did not attend because of the filming of the new film. This made the fans present a little regretful. Fortunately, Zhou Run, who is the leading actor of Zhang Le's new film, attended.

After all, Zhou Run is still one of the leading actors in "Men in Black". Although he is the starring role of "Iron Fist", leaving for a day or two does not have much impact on the crew. And Zhang Le, as the director, if he leaves the crew, the entire crew will naturally not be able to run. This is naturally a big loss for the crew.

Of course, Zhang Le didn't care about this loss, the reason why he didn't attend was because he didn't think about it at all. After all, he is not a director, nor a starring actor, and that is not the premiere of his own movie. went, in Feng Lei's words, it was purely to steal the limelight.

"Men in Black" is Tang Xiao's first work after his return, and the premiere of the movie should belong to him, as well as all the actors and crew of "Men in Black". If Zhang Leru goes, I'm afraid all eyes will be on him.

That gaze shouldn't belong to him Zhang Le.

They are both aliens, but "Men in Black" and "National Day" are completely different styles. "National Day" is about an alien invasion, with the style of a disaster movie. And "Men in Black" is about aliens taking refuge in China, with comedy.

Although "Men in Black" cannot be compared with "National Day" visually, it is very pleasing in terms of style. Movie fans have just enjoyed the visual enjoyment brought by aliens in the theater and become interested in the topic of aliens, but if the last movie that relies on vision to win is undoubtedly a failure. In addition to the fact that no one can do Zhang Le visually, fans also have aesthetic fatigue.

The alternative approach of "Men in Black" is naturally very pleasing to fans. After all, in the movie, human beings are no longer as strong as in "National Day", and even the way to win in the end is criticized.

"Men in Black" is different, human beings are on the strong side, hunting illegal aliens, and I feel a little excited to think about it. The movie was immediately well received upon release, and the score on its official movie website directly threw off Zhang Le's "National Day" a few streets, and the box office also showed an unstoppable momentum.

Those movies that were released at the same time are naturally extremely tragic.

Many film and television companies have always believed that Xinle Film and Television will put the main battlefield in the Spring Festival file, after all, in Huaxia, that schedule is undoubtedly the best. Over the years, whether Xinle Film and Television is released or not Zhang Le's movie has shown extremely strong combat power, almost no one can beat it. Therefore, many film and television companies have put them on relatively good schedules. During Christmas and New Year's Day, it is undoubtedly a good choice.

But no one thought that it would be planted this time, and it would be planted very badly.

Although I didn't expect that this "Men in Black" would be so violent, it was almost comparable to "National Day" more than a month ago.

is comparable to Zhang Le's movies at the box office, which is unimaginable in China. Of course, after all, Tang Xiao does not have Zhang Le's box office appeal, so this movie is still a little weaker at the box office under the banner of Zhang Le's screenwriter and producer. However, this is enough to shock people.

The box office of "Men in Black" on the first day was not as good as "National Day", but it was also the highest in recent years, except for Zhang Le's movie. even directly threw off the films that were released at the same time, and other film companies claimed to be big investment movies for several streets. And the box office exceeded 600 million on the first day and more than 1 billion in two weeks, which is likely to be another movie with a box office of more than 2 billion, which directly stunned countless people.

This is just the beginning, because when the overseas box office data of this film was transmitted back to China, other film and television companies were directly speechless after getting the news.

"Men in Black" had a box office of nearly 100 million in the first week in North America, directly topping the list of weekly box office champions in North America, and won 80 million at the box office in the second week, winning the weekly box office champion, becoming the first Chinese film to win the North American box office champion for two consecutive weeks except Zhang Le.

More than a month after the movie was released, "Men in Black" exceeded 2 billion at the box office in China, and it also became the only movie other than Zhang Le's movie to break 2 billion. The North American box office exceeded 300 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 2 billion Chinese dollars. In Europe and Southeast Asia, the box office is also quite 300 million US dollars, and the Chinese currency is also more than 2 billion. The global box office exceeded 7 billion.

As soon as this data came out, it directly stunned everyone, and even many foreign media once again set off remarks about the rise of Chinese films.

Naturally, there have been such remarks in the past, and that is because Zhang Le has repeatedly achieved amazing box office results in the world. However, with the passage of time, it seems that except for Zhang Le's films, it is difficult for Huaxia to gain the love of Western fans, and this kind of remarks have gradually disappeared.

Many Western fans' understanding of Chinese films is limited to Zhang Le's films.

Now that a film that is not Zhang Le's work has achieved such amazing box office results, such remarks are inevitable.

And as soon as this remark came out, Chinese fans were naturally proud. My Chinese movies also have times when you are nervous in the Western media!

The rise of Chinese films is naturally not something that can be achieved by relying on one or two movies.

The success of "National Day" and "Men in Black" undoubtedly made alien movies popular again, and follow-up works have sprung up. It seems that they all want to take advantage of the alien craze set off by Xinle Film and Television. China, in particular, is the hardest hit area to follow the trend.

This may be the national situation. Piracy, plagiarism, and following trends are commonplace in China, but not many people care about the harm of doing so. And those who know, but there is nothing they can do.

Maybe it's a habit that is hard to change in a short period of time.

Many film and television companies follow the trend to shoot alien movies, and even some film and television companies invest no more than hundreds of thousands, which are small-budget movies among small costs. The larger investment is only tens of millions, not to mention that compared with the investment in "National Day", even "Men in Black" is only the leader.

Many sensible filmmakers are saddened by this situation, saying that they are going to ruin a theme and break the situation that Xinle Film and Television has managed to open.

Zhang Le knew this, but he sneered and ignored it anymore. (To be continued.) )
