Chapter 419 Lifting, pulling out seedlings to help grow

The quality of the schedule definitely has an impact on the box office of a movie. Xinle Film and Television has been outstanding in three good schedules in a row, allowing many people to see how strong Xinle Film and Television is.

Not to mention Huaxia's film companies, even Hollywood's may be good to have an average of one blockbuster at the box office a year. The movies produced by Kexinle Film and Television have invested more and more, and the box office is getting higher and higher. In just half a year, there were three box office hits, two of which also won high box office abroad. The box office of the three films totaled 20 billion Chinese dollars, which is an unimaginable figure.

And Xinle Film and Television obviously released more than these three films, there are also some small-cost movies, the stratification and cost of the exit theater line, Xinle Film and Television's profit in a year is probably nearly 10 billion.

Nearly 10 billion, a film and television company's profit in a year. This made many people start to speculate about how much net worth Zhang Le has now. Because everyone knows that Xinle Film and Television is just one of Zhang Le's many industries. It was even rumored that this was not his most lucrative business.

Of course, when this was said, it was impossible for Xinle Film and Television to make so much profit in a year.

With a profit of 10 billion a year, it is naturally the most profitable industry now.

However, it is impossible for Xinle Film and Television to make so much money every year, after all, Zhang Le, Tang Xiao and others cannot achieve an average of one movie per year. And Xinle Film and Television can't guarantee that every movie will make money. There has been a big investment before.

Of course, one or two big investments can't recover the cost, and Xinle Film and Television can still afford it. Even if Zhang Le sometimes eats more than one billion Chinese dollars, he is worthy of it, and it will not even affect the normal operation of Xinle Film and Television.

Xinle Film and Television does not have much else, and the liquidity is definitely comparable to other film and television companies.

Tang Xiao was reluctant to co-direct a film, so he chose a "District 9", a story about aliens who were trapped on Earth and were isolated by humans in the refugee area of South Africa. This movie and The Battle of Los Angeles are two completely different concepts.

Two movies, from a personal point of view, Zhang Le prefers "The Battle of Los Angeles". However, I have to say that Tang Xiaozhen is not suitable for filming "The Battle of Los Angeles", and now that he has to shoot this movie, Tang Xiao's preparations will definitely take a long time. The time is too long, and it is a little different from Zhang Le's plan.

Tang Xiao guessed Zhang Le, and even guessed who Zhang Le asked him to co-direct, but he still refused.

Liu Meng, this is the director that Zhang Le found for him to co-direct. Liu Meng used to shoot TV series, and now he has only filmed a movie "Wolf Warrior", but he is probably the most profound in Huaxia when it comes to research on the battlefield, and this person is not lacking in imagination. But there is still a lack of scene control. Zhang Le handed over this movie to him to direct alone, which was obviously reassuring.

But if Liu Meng is arranged to be Tang Xiao's deputy, Liu Meng will not have any opinions. After all, Tang Xiao's fame is there. But Tang Xiao's personal subjective consciousness is too strong, and I am afraid that he may not listen to Liu Meng's opinion.

arranging Liu Meng to co-direct with him also has the meaning of temptation.

Tang Xiao left, but Chen Ke came again.

, a director who is now in Hollywood, also returns to China from time to time to cooperate with Xinle Film and Television, and when he has time, he will also visit Zhang Le's house.

"Open the back door for Tang Xiao again?"

When Chen Ke came, he met Tang Xiao and went out, and when he saw the script in his hand, he naturally guessed a few points, and said jokingly when he saw Zhang Le.

"Director Chen is back for the New Year!" Zhang Le smiled and did not answer. He didn't know how to answer either. It's not bad to say that opening the back door to Tang Xiao, but it's not entirely true. After all, where is Tang Xiao's ability.

"Huh?" Chen Ke was about to say something, but suddenly saw the script of "The Battle of Los Angeles" on the coffee table, his eyes lit up, and he said, "It's okay to see, right?" ”

Although Chen Ke was asking, he didn't ask Zhang Le's consent at all, so he took the script and read it.

He was not so polite to Zhang Lezhen. What's more, his studio is still under Xinle Film and Television. Even if he goes to Hollywood to make movies, there is a lot of investment in Xinle Film and Television. It's just that the producer is not Xinle Film and Television.

Zhang Le smiled and didn't say anything. He and Chen Ke have a good relationship. Moreover, Zhang Le is a grateful person, when he debuted, Chen Keke helped him a lot.

"How does this movie give me?" After a while, Chen Ke looked at Zhang Le and said. This time it's you asking, and it's a little demanding. From his tone, Zhang Le felt that he liked this movie.

"No problem!" Zhang Le smiled and said, "However, how about I arrange a deputy for you?" ”

"Deputy?" Chen Ke was a little puzzled. The doubts are not about the deputy himself, but about who Zhang Le will arrange. Zhang Le became Chen Ke's deputy and learned from him in the crew. And Tang Xiao also served as Chen Ke's non-deputy, and he also learned from him. Xinle Film and Television also has several directors as well. But in the past two years, he has cooperated with Xinle Film and Television, and has not arranged any more deputies.

"Who are you going to arrange?" Chen Ke then asked.

There is nothing to say about this Chen Ke. And every time Zhang Le arranges a deputy, he will give him all his strength. Now Xinle Film and Television is still rumored to be the deputy of Director Chen Ke, so Xinle Film and Television is estimated to focus on training.

"Liu Meng! I don't know if Director Chen has heard of it. Zhang Le said with a smile.

"Liu Meng? The director who made "Wolf Warrior", I also watched his movie two days ago. His level, when I am my deputy, don't you think you are condescending! Chen Ke said with some surprise, but seeing Zhang Le's smile, he seemed to think of something, so he immediately smiled and said, "Be a deputy, co-direct with me." I heard that he is very interested in filming war scenes. In this movie, the total war is different from the traditional sense, but it also has the same goal. That's my weakness as well. ”

When Zhang Le heard this, he was stunned at first, and he looked at Chen Ke with some shock. Chen Ke is now an internationally renowned director. Not to mention domestic, even it has a lot of fame abroad. Of course, his fame is not the same as Zhang Le's. His fame is only in circles. And Zhang Le's fame is inside and outside the circle.

Chen Ke naturally knew that Zhang Le wanted to vigorously cultivate Liu Meng. "Wolf Warrior" is undoubtedly a test for Liu Meng, and he completed it well.

Huaxia lacks a director like Liu Meng.

"When you're old, how long can you make a movie. From now on, it will be the world of you young people. Chen Ke smiled and said.

Chen Ke likes to bring up juniors, and Zhang Le has received his favors in this regard. agreeing to co-direct this time is naturally promoting Liu Meng. Co-directing, that's on the same level.

Liu Meng, now is obviously still a lot worse. In fact, it is much worse than Tang Xiao and Liu Meng. This is also why Zhang Le and Tang Xiaoti are co-directors, while Chen Keti is only an assistant director. One is closer to Tang Xiao, and the other is undoubtedly that Tang Xiao is not as good as Chen Ke now.

"You're trying to pull out the seedlings to help them grow!" Zhang Le shook his head, and then said, "It's better to be your deputy, you give him more opportunities to take charge of the camera!" I don't think Liu Meng will agree to co-direct with you. ”

Liu Meng didn't know, but he didn't dare!

If he co-directed with Chen Ke, he would inevitably be scolded as "not knowing what to do", and he would use Chen Ke to make a name for himself. The name is out, I'm afraid it's not a good reputation. (To be continued.) )
