Chapter 434: There is a lot more to life than movies

There is competition for directors, but it is not as brutal as commercial competition. Whether it is Zhang Le or Steve, the appreciation for each other is sincere.

Of course, appreciating each other is far more acceptable to fans than denigrating each other.

The two of them have the status they have now, and they can't rely on one or two people to slander them. However, the two did not denigrate each other and their works in interviews, but they had great confidence in their own works between words.

Two blockbusters are dead, and they can divert the box office, so why can't they stimulate the film market?

When the movie is released, the situation is different from place to place, but when sorted out, it shows a situation of equal strength.

As Zhang Le's base camp, Huaxia has unparalleled box office appeal. On the first day of release, it directly shook off a lot of the box office of that movie. But in North America, it is invincible, although by a small margin, but when converted into Chinese dollars, it is not much different.

Europe, another Hollywood stronghold-like market, Zhang Le's "Transformers" was defeated, but it regained its disadvantage in Southeast Asia and other regions.

The box office statistics on the first day came out, and Zhang Le won by a slight margin. But both films are full of stamina, and "Transformers" is a full commercial blockbuster, which has a congenital disadvantage over the Hollywood blockbuster above word of mouth. However, in terms of visual effects, it occupies a lot of advantages. Especially the 3D special effects, "Transformers" has achieved an extreme of today's technology.

The next day, the two films did not seem to fall back, and they still continued to be popular. Although it did not break the single-day box office record, the combined box office of the two films broke the previous record of the single-day total box office. This is undoubtedly the result of the stimulation of the film market by the two films.

The box office statistics on the second day came out, and Zhang Le's "Transformers" still won by a narrow margin.

Day 3 is still the same, day 4 is still the same!

After a week of accumulating the box office, the slight advantage became clear. At the box office around the world, Zhang Le's "Transformers" appeared as the weekly box office champion. Although the Hollywood movie is chasing very closely, many filmmakers know that it is almost impossible for that movie to overtake.

In terms of word-of-mouth, "Transformers" may not be as good as that movie, but in terms of popularity, it is much better, which can be seen from its box office.

If you lose word of mouth and win the box office, you can't talk about who loses and who wins. What's more, even Zhang Le can see that the film directed by Steve may gain a lot at next year's Oscars. Even if the direct "Transformers" is signed up for the Oscars, I am afraid that it will win at most one visual effects award.

Best Visual Effects, that award won too much, Zhang Le is no longer interested. What's more, he didn't plan to sign up.

Signing up is purely looking for a draw!

In a month and a half, the two films were painted one after another, and the global box office statistics came out, and there was no doubt that "Transformers" had won, of course, only at the box office.

"Transformers" has grossed $1.2 billion worldwide, a full $200 million more than the Hollywood film. But it did not break the box office record created by Zhang Le's "Xin'er in Wonderland".

Both films were box office successes and at least made a lot of money for the investment company. But almost everyone knows that if the two films had not been staggered, even if they were released in a staggered few days, the box office would be far from the same. Even "Transformers" has the potential to break the record for the highest box office.

Of course, there is no one in this world who ifs.

And what regrets this is undoubtedly the investment companies in Hollywood, and even the top management of these companies have a little gap.

can make a lot of extra money, but it is gone for the sake of that boring face. What's more, he didn't earn face in the end. Because it did lose at the box office. Moreover, it is impossible to save face in the awards. Because they guessed that Zhang Le would not take his "Transformers" to the Oscars. They won't take that movie to the Golden Dragon Awards in China.

However, the two films are not without benefits, at least further stimulating the global film market. This is undoubtedly good for the film industry.

The two films were drawn, but the impact did not disappear. Especially in China, as the victorious side, it was naturally widely reported by many media. After all, this is another victory for Chinese films.

After all, the box office is more practical and realistic than word-of-mouth.

However, Zhang Le, who was the hero of this victory, did not appear in front of the media and did not express any opinion on the matter. It seems to him that it is just a trivial matter.

"Transformers" was drawn, and the script of Zhang Le's new film was finalized. This movie, which takes Zhang Le a lot of experience, almost takes the time it takes to shoot a movie in the past.

It's a long time, and that's because of the meticulous craftsmanship. In Zhang Le's view, even if you count the classics of your previous life that have been filmed, this script is definitely your pinnacle. As for what it will look like, it will only be clear after the shooting.

But Zhang Le is confident that he will make this film his pinnacle. As for whether it will be liked by fans, it has to come. After all, war movies themselves are congenitally deficient, and the fan base of this type of movie itself is not many.

However, in Zhang Le's view, the reason why a classic is a classic is because it can break its own genre limitations. He believes that his movie, whether it is the box office, word of mouth, or even awards, will bring surprises to him.

The script came out, and the film entered the preparatory stage.

Zhang Le's film has attracted the attention of the world, and the film naturally spread out as soon as it was prepared, and the specific film was naturally kept secret, but the news that his new film was a war film still spread out, but it also caused an uproar.

Zhang Le Films designs many genres of films, but war films have apparently not yet appeared. Some people couldn't help but start worrying about him. Especially in China, war movies are less popular than science fiction films.

Zhang Le can turn over Chinese science fiction films, can he turn war films around? After all, Chinese war films are much more restricted than science fiction films.

It's not that there are no war movies in China, especially modern war films. The anti-aggression film is even more numerous, but they all have some main themes to a greater or lesser extent. Chinese fans may not have the main theme, but foreign fans will inevitably hesitate to watch it.

It's a thankless genre film. Therefore, there are countless TV series, but there are very few movies!

However, fans undoubtedly have blind trust in Zhang Le. Because he has done so many miracles. This time it will work a miracle as well.

Perhaps after the release of this movie, countless films that followed the trend appeared.

And what makes countless fans excited is undoubtedly that soon after it was reported that Zhang Le will direct and act in this film, he is not a cameo this time, but as the leading actor, and the heroine is his wife Yang Xin'er. This is a movie in which they are husband and wife as the male and female leads.

Zhang Le starred in the movie, and fans don't know how long they have been looking forward to it.

Expectations for this film have risen infinitely. And the supporting roles that came out later also made countless people excited.

In addition to the "Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", Zhang Le's film is undoubtedly the most powerful star lineup so far.

It's just that what fans didn't expect was their expectation, and they had been looking forward to it for more than three years.

From the rumors of the preparation of this film to the release of this movie, it spanned nearly four years, which made many fans a little depressed when they were used to the short time span of Zhang Le's new film.

After three years of sharpening a sword, it naturally did not disappoint fans, and even gave everyone a surprise.

This movie not only gives people an unprecedented visual enjoyment, but also gives everyone a different Zhang Le with its story and the connotation presented by the movie.

This movie seems to have achieved the ultimate in all aspects, not only the fans praised it, but also the filmmakers who accompanied it were also amazed.

This movie of the same name by Mr. Yang soared at the box office and word of mouth once it was released. Both China and abroad have given high praise to this movie. Even many people are even more stunned when they know the reason for the birth of this movie.

They felt Zhang Le's nostalgia for the old man from the movie.

In an interview, Zhang Le said that he was able to get together with Yang Xin'er because of the support of Mr. Yang. Of course, Zhang Le misses Old Man Yang not only because of this kindness.

However, many fans of Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er only realized at this time that when the two came together, it was not only because of the pressure of social media, but also because of the gap in family conditions.

Now they are still in love, naturally because they have received more blessings.

The box office of the movie finally broke the box office record of "Xin'er in Wonderland" and became the highest-grossing film in the world. Many filmmakers bluntly said that the box office of this movie may not be broken in a few years, and even Zhang Le may be difficult to do.

What is even more talked about is undoubtedly that this film not only set a new record at the box office, but also swept many award ceremonies in terms of awards.

The film won ten awards at the Golden Dragon Awards, and Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er won the Best Actor and became the husband and wife who were crowned emperors and queens at the same time. It is estimated that this will also become an irreproducible creation in the entertainment industry.

Of course, Zhang Le naturally won two awards for Best Director and Best Picture for this film.

And Zhang Le also won the Oscar for Best Director with this film, becoming the first Chinese director in China to win the Best Director. And this film won seven awards, becoming the most awarded foreign language film at the Oscars.

Zhang Le broke countless records with this movie and created an unprecedented miracle, but what made fans crazy was that Zhang Le left a sentence and traveled around the world with his wife and children, and it seemed that he had no intention of preparing a new film at all.

"There's so much more to life than movies!"

However, to the somewhat gratifying thing for fans, although Zhang Le does not direct works, he has written many movies for the directors of Xinle Film and Television to shoot, and those movies have undoubtedly achieved extremely high box office.

Ten years later, it was rumored that Zhang Le's new film was about to be prepared......
