Chapter 2 White 48 Focus on "Shaolin Football" (Part I)
Chapter 2 White 48 focuses on "Shaolin Football" (I)
The choice of the host of the premiere of "Shaolin Football" surprised everyone.
In the eyes of many people, the host of this premiere is none other than He Jun. Whether it is He Jun's ability or his relationship with Zhang Le.
But it was unexpected. He Jun, the host of Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er's wedding, this time, like his two old partners, only attended as a guest.
The host this time is the signed artist of Xinle Film and Television, that is, Huang Yao who was picked up by Xinle Film and Television.
Among the signed artists of Xinle Film and Television, Huang Yao's popularity exceeded everyone's expectations. No one would have thought that this middle-aged man, who was not good-looking, would become a box office guarantee without Zhang Le's support.
After Huang Yaozhi "Crazy Stone", he also made a cameo appearance in "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", and the rest did not participate in Zhang Le's films. He is undoubtedly an alternative to Xinle Film and Television.
Zhang Le, the premiere of the world's most popular movie, let Huang Yao preside, does Xinle Film and Television really want him to transform into a host? However, thinking about it is negative.
A person with great box office appeal to be the host, for Xinle Film and Television, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses. Well, it's not hard to guess. I'm afraid that this Huang Yao is going to be supported by Xinle Film and Television.
This is obviously for Huang Yao to show his face at this premiere!
Could it be that it was rumored before that Zhang Le wrote a film of the same type as "Crazy Stone", and it is not a false rumor that he is going to let Huang Yao play the starring role, but it is true?
A film of the same type as "Crazy Stone" is naturally "Crazy Racing"!
And the script of this film has actually been written by Zhang Le a long time ago, but it has been shelved. At first, Zhang Le planned to shoot it by himself, but unfortunately the plan was not as good as changing, and now Zhang Le has little interest in this film.
Zhang Le is now more keen on some commercial blockbusters, especially those with stunning visual effects.
"Crazy Racing" and "Crazy Stone" are from the same director's work, and the style is much more mature. After Zhang Le filmed "Crazy Stone". did not continue to shoot this work of the same style, mainly because he was afraid of being characterized by fans, so he filmed "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance".
It is more tragic for a director to be characterized than for an actor to be characterized. At least that's what Zhang Le thinks.
The director of "Crazy Stone" is Ning Jun, who has just signed a contract with Xinle Film and Television, and has imitated "Crazy Stone" before, and is the most successful one among many imitators.
He teamed up with Zhang Le, and this film will also be highly anticipated. It's just that this film is still in preparation.
"Why did you think of a premiere this time?" Chen Ke said with a smile.
"Just go with the flow." Zhang Le smiled and said.
"When is your movie going to start? I've heard that Johns urged you several times. Chen Ke said with a smile, "More than 100 million US dollars, this investment can be regarded as the largest investment of a Chinese director." It's a little envious when you think about it! ”
Directors who don't want to know big investments. Not a good director!
"There's nothing to envy about that. This film doesn't necessarily mean to be my first loss-making film. Zhang Le shook his head and said.
If you talk about the film you shoot, the least confident, it belongs to this one. Of course, it's not that there is no confidence in the box office, but that there is no confidence in word of mouth.
"Compensation? You're kidding. If it will be lost, then Warner will rush to you to cooperate, and even do not hesitate to resell the technology of its special effects company to you? Chen Ke said with a smile. He naturally knew that Zhang Le's words were just modest words.
The investment is more than $100 million. But no filmmaker would think that this was a money-losing film, and even all filmmakers would think that it would not lose money if it was directed by anyone. Let alone. directed by Zhang Le, who has always been invincible at the box office.
Moreover, this movie sells not the movie itself, but the gimmick that comes from the movie.
Compensation, the compensation in Zhang Le's words. Naturally, you won't lose money. It's a loss of reputation. The reputation of Zhang Le's films has always been very good, but he really has no confidence in this film. Especially because the script disagrees with a producer with a very market vision in Hollywood.
Zhang Le didn't dare to guarantee that his "single-mindedness" would usher in his own Waterloo. And this film is in a way. Or his first work.
Zhang Le naturally knew that Chen Ke had misunderstood his words, he didn't explain, and there was no need to explain. just smiled, changed the topic, and said, "I heard that Director Chen has taken a fancy to an online novel? ”
"Oh? How do you know that? Chen Ke looked at Zhang Le with some surprise and said, "It doesn't seem that this matter has spread in the circle yet, right?" ”
"The novel you're fancy is my fiction website." Zhang Le smiled and said, "I'm curious, how did Director Chen pay attention to online novels?" Web novels don't have a good reputation these days. ”
When Chen Ke heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. He thought he was the first director to pay attention to online novels, but he didn't expect someone to go ahead of him. Moreover, it was a long, long distance.
"There is no shortage of excellent online novels, and they cannot be generalized. And its imagination is better than that of traditional novels. A lot of them have adaptation value. Since you can get a fiction website, you can see it better than me. Chen Ke looked at Zhang Le and said.
"What are you talking about? It's about to start. Yang Xin'er walked over and said with a smile.
"Let's talk about this topic in depth when we have time. I went backstage to get ready. Zhang Le smiled and said to Chen Ke.
The premiere of "Shaolin Football" was no different from the others. Trailer, theme song, guest performance, the main creator came to the stage to talk about the feelings of filming, and share the embarrassing things, broken things, and bloody things that happened during the shooting.
Of course, led by Feng Lei, many actors began to "verbally and pendiculously" Zhang Le. And the most he complained about Zhang Le would rather stay at home with his wife than run to promote the film.
Complaining about this is also a little ridiculous. It's also a pleasure to tease the newlyweds.
Huang Yao began to use humorous words to make the whole atmosphere of the scene relaxed. After all, the film is an action movie, but it's also a comedy.
In this atmosphere of love, Feng Lei and their complaints, but in vain continue to be funny. On the contrary, I think Zhang Le is a good man.
Big men are mighty and blessed, and good men are cows and horses. A man who can put down his movie promotion to accompany his woman will definitely be a good man. At least for that woman.
Feng Yuan rarely participated in the promotion of the film, but he was not absent from this premiere, and he naturally became a hot topic of concern to everyone.
At the end of the premiere, the film was played, and that was the highlight. has done so much before, in the final analysis, it is just building momentum for the film. What the film is like is still the film itself.
The lights go out, the venue becomes quiet, and the film begins.
The first to appear is naturally the logo of the relevant departments, and then it is Xinle Film and Television.
At the beginning of the film, there is a conspiracy, where two players collude with each other to play match-fixing. The serious beginning undoubtedly laid the groundwork for the film. And the background music resembles the tense and low soundtrack unique to police movies.
As a result, as everyone expected, the "golden right leg" collected black money and played match-fixing, but was beaten violently and broke his leg.
Bring out the story with a gripping beginning. The "golden right leg" has to go through the test of life before he knows how to work hard.
Feng Yuan was the first actor to appear, and he directly suppressed everyone, and his domineering and scheming words and deeds left a deep impression on people.
And the ensuing Liu Zheng is in stark contrast. And this makes many people think of the beginning of the film, the "golden right foot" stepping on the head of a strong man, and can't help but sigh, don't be too arrogant and domineering!
Is such a beginning really a comedy? (To be continued......)
