Chapter 414: Schedule Contention

Zhang Le's understanding of the toy market is obviously far less than his understanding of the film market. Of course, he was disappointed not because of this.

Zhang Le's toy company has developed very fast, and now the scale is one of the few in China, even if it is put into the world, it is definitely not small. And his toy company has a great characteristic, that is, it is keen to develop peripheral toys for movies, especially Zhang Le's movies.

Peers know that Zhang Le's toy company was developed by producing toys for Zhang Le's movie peripheral products. Of course, the toy company's best-selling toys are still just anime merchandise, not movies. Still, that's a matter of time.

The best-selling toy is undoubtedly the "Transformers" toy. And no one will doubt that when the live-action version of "Transformers" is released, its corresponding toy sales will skyrocket.

Of course, toys are just one of the opening of movie peripherals.

Zhang Le's film peripheral products have been fully utilized and played. Sometimes, the income from the peripheral products of the movie is even more amazing than the box office income of the movie.

Zhang Le knows that toys are not movie props. If you use toys to make a movie, "Iron Fist" will not need to be filmed. That's not what you want.

The production of props does not require a lot of skill as toy making, but it is sharper. Just like those robots, the toys are made of plastic and have a remote control. When it comes to prop making, it is actually made of steel, of course, he can't control it remotely at all, because it doesn't have any drive at all.

The production of toys made Zhang Le a little disappointed, but he couldn't. Even if it really meets the requirements he imagined, I'm afraid it is also the result of making one to accompany one.

The production of props is naturally not much difficult for Zhang Le's props team, and the props produced naturally did not disappoint Zhang Le. Even the props team has already begun to work on the production of "Transformers".

The movie continued to be released, and the box office of "National Day" in the second week was 100 million more than the first week, reaching 800 million Chinese dollars. Of course, the reason why the second week did not decline, but rose, is undoubtedly because the second week was two more days longer than the first week, not to mention, the number of films scheduled increased a lot because of the decrease in "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic".

With a box office of 1.5 billion in two weeks, Zhang Le's film will naturally break through the box office of 2 billion and it will not be a problem. While other filmmakers in China are still racking their brains to break through one billion, Zhang Le's movies seem to be able to easily break two billion as long as he wants.

Zhang Le's film has once again been studied by many filmmakers. Of course, it's not just about why it won such a high box office in China. They also want to know why it has been able to make such a high box office abroad.

In the second week, the North American box office still exceeded 100 million US dollars, and the overseas box office still exceeded 300 million US dollars, and the total overseas box office has exceeded 700 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 2 billion Chinese dollars. The total box office reached nearly 4 billion Chinese dollars. It's only been released for less than half a month.

It seems that it is not impossible to reach a box office of 10 billion. Because the film is extremely sustained, the degree of decline in attendance is not very high.

The impact of the movie's box office boom is naturally great. Not to mention that Zhang Le was once again appreciated by fans, and the two leading actors Zhou Run and Feng Lei also became famous. Especially Zhou Run, who was originally famous in Hollywood. This time the box office won the North American box office championship for two consecutive weeks, and he was naturally concerned as the starring role.

Zhou Run was happy in his heart, although he had filmed several leading role movies in Hollywood, his influence was far less than that brought to him by Zhang Le's movie.

Zhou Run was also emotional. If I had returned to China to make movies before, I am afraid that many people would laugh at them and not be able to get along in Hollywood before going back. Nowadays, it is not said so, which undoubtedly proves that the development of Chinese films has reached a certain level.

In the past, if an actor who mixed in Hollywood returned to China to develop, in the eyes of many people, it would be a regression. But now, when he returned to China for development, not only did he not regress, but made great progress, which illustrates the problem.

Of course, this may also be true of Zhang Le's films. After all, his influence abroad is no worse than those of Hollywood's big directors.

Zhang Le is now known by many as the only international director who does not go to Hollywood to shoot movies. Even if Xinle Film and Television has a branch in Hollywood, and the scale is not small. But the movies shot by Zhang Le seem to be mainly based on domestic teams. And the background of the movie, too, seems to be the same. Especially in this movie "National Day", although the style is biased towards the West, the background content is all Chinese.

However, Zhou Run also knows that Zhang Le's film has brought him greater international development, in addition to Zhang Le's own international fame, but also because of his movie itself.

Thinking of this, Zhou Run remembered another movie from Xinle Film Company, which was written by Zhang Le and directed by Tang Xiao.

Will that science fiction movie also promote its own international development?

This doesn't allow Zhou Yun to think too much. After the whole world promoted the movie, he hurriedly entered the crew of "Iron Fist". Of course, he was also jealous of Feng Lei, who said that he could take a break.

He also wanted to rest, but he couldn't. Just like when he talked to Feng Lei about this, **** Feng Lei's words: Will you refuse his movie? And just want to take a break?

Zhang Le's movie, I'm afraid no actor will refuse now, especially because he just wants to take a break. When Zhang Le's movies win trophies, there may be very few. But whether you win the trophy or not, or even what the box office is, as long as you star in his movies, or even participate in his films, you will attract attention.

There is also a ruthless and direct reason, especially for those actors who participate in Zhang Le's movies for the first time, their salaries will almost rise a lot. Of course, Zhou Run's salary has not increased much now. What's more, he starred in Zhang Le's movie, and he also opened a friendship price.

There are a lot of stars who don't want to be paid to appear in Zhang Le's movies, not to mention the friendship price.

Of course, Zhang Le won't care about this. He only looks for suitable actors, and will not choose anyone because of who lowers his salary. Chow Yun lowered his salary to star in his movies, if he forcibly gave it up, it hurt each other's feelings a little.

"National Day" is still being released, but Zhang Le's new film "Iron Fist" has been launched in a low-key manner. This surprised many media outlets who later got the news. Many people know that Yang Xin'er gave birth to a son to Zhang Le a few years ago, and he is not yet old. With his attention to his family and his love for Yang Xin'er and his children, how could he rush to shoot a new film at this time?

Is it necessary for Zhang Le to be like this today?

If those big international directors shoot a film every two years, it will definitely be prolific. But Zhang Le definitely has an average of one movie per year. Not to mention that this degree of high production is higher than that of those international directors, even if you count all directors, I am afraid that they can be as prolific.

And don't forget, Zhang Le's movies are almost all blockbusters, and there is no small-budget movie. Such a high yield, but still maintaining such a high quality, is simply amazing to countless people.

When many international directors talk about this, they sigh and say that it is absolutely impossible to guarantee the quality of the film if they are themselves.

If the quality of the film cannot be guaranteed, once it fails, it will definitely outweigh the losses for international directors like them.

Anyway, Zhang Le's new film has already started.

Zhang Le'an was filming the movie with peace of mind, but he didn't want the schedules of the two major movies of Xinle Film and Television to diverge.

"Wolf Warrior" and "Men in Black" both fell in love with the Spring Festival stalls. and reluctant to be released during Christmas and New Year's Day.

The reason for the reluctance is undoubtedly that several movies during the National Day are too ruthless at the box office, especially Zhang Le's "National Day". They were all worried that their movie would be released around Christmas, and that the box office vacuum had not yet passed.

Both teams have too high expectations for their respective films, and neither will let anyone. For the company, the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, and both movies are written and produced by Zhang Le.

The company was difficult to decide for a while, and finally threw the right to make a decision to Zhang Le. (To be continued.) )
