Chapter 119: You Write and I Direct
Chapter 119: You write and I direct
New film? When Chen Ke heard this, he was a little puzzled, but then he smiled and said: "I'm afraid you're spending all your energy on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", although I am also a prolific director, but now it is difficult to achieve the level of one work a year." My new film, but there is still a shadow. ”
"Huh!" Zhang Le smiled awkwardly. Nowadays, there are many directors who can make one film a year, but it would be good to be able to ensure quality and quantity like Chen Ke, and it would be good to be able to produce one work in two years.
What's more, every time Chen Ke makes a movie, it is almost a big move, let alone shooting, sometimes it takes half a year or even longer to prepare.
Moreover, a director of Chen Ke's level doesn't just take a script and shoot it. There may be a lot of good scripts in front of him, but he still has to be excited.
"How about we work together?" Chen Ke said suddenly.
"Cooperation?" Zhang Le was a little surprised, and then said with a smile, "Okay! However, this time I will be the director, and you will be the actor. ”
Zhang Le's ridiculous words undoubtedly expressed his refusal.
When Chen Ke heard this, he was stunned, then shook his head and smiled: "You are a natural director." Directors want to shoot according to their own ideas. I also know this very well. It is estimated that unless you direct and act yourself, you will at most make a cameo in someone else's film. The cooperation I said is not that I directed you, let alone you directed me. ”
"Oh? How to cooperate? When Zhang Le heard this, he immediately became interested.
After all, Chen Ke is the leading director in China, and he has a strong box office appeal. Anyone will be interested in working with him.
"You write and direct, how about my studio and your Xinle Film and Television cooperation?" Chen Ke then said.
"No problem! What type of script Director Chen wants, I will definitely take one that satisfies you. When Director Chen is satisfied with the script, how about we talk about cooperation in detail? Zhang Le's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said.
There are so many classic films in his mind, he is too old to shoot, and it is estimated that he will not be able to finish filming. Chen Ke's directing level is completely worthy of trust. It's not a good thing to work with him.
"What type? As long as the script is good, I don't care what genre it is. Chen Ke smiled and said.
Zhang Le's screenwriting ability, Chen Ke is still looking forward to it. Although almost all of the films released today are low-cost, it can be seen that Zhang Le's control of the market is very powerful.
Of course, the reason why Chen Ke had such thoughts was because his two old friends Ye Ming and Bao Zhen praised Zhang Le's new film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". This is why as soon as he saw Zhang Le, he asked him when the new film would be released, and he was really curious by his two old friends.
And if another old friend of his mind can turn down the Hollywood blockbuster film after reading the script and return to China to shoot the film, how bad can the script be?
Zhang Le dared to invite Li Jie to act, and invested nearly 200 million yuan in the film, with his understanding of Zhang Le, if he didn't have full confidence, it would be impossible at all.
Chen Ke wanted Zhang Le to put forward the intention of cooperation, and there was a very important reason, he encountered a bottleneck. He wanted to seek a breakthrough through the creativity of Zhang Le, a young director.
Zhang Le smiled and nodded, the films that kept coming to mind were not those classic films, but those films with high box office.
After some exclusions, Zhang Le took a fancy to "Jurassic Park", but then shook his head and denied it. It's not that he thinks Chen Ke doesn't have the ability to shoot it, and it's not that he Zhang Le plans to shoot it himself. It's that there is no money!
"Jurassic Park" is definitely a box office killer, even if it is a different world, Zhang Le still believes that filming will definitely shock the world. Collect countless banknotes in the world. But the problem is that the investment in this movie is too large, and he can't get it at all now.
With this kind of money-absorbing weapon, Zhang Le naturally doesn't want to cheapen other investors. If there is a risk, it is okay to bring in some investors and share them. But Zhang Le doesn't think there will be any risks in this film, even if the investment is huge. There is no need to find someone to share the investment risk.
Of course, Zhang Le said that there was another reason why he thought of this film first, that is, there is a dinosaur museum in his hometown of Yancheng.
Zhang Le was silent, thinking about this in his mind.
The rest of the crew of "No Way Back" also arrived one after another, but Chow Run didn't seem to be present because he was filming outside and there were no nominations this time.
At the beginning of the awards ceremony, there were three nominations for "No Way Back", and the best screenwriter failed to win, but Chen Dong's Chen Jiaban won the best action design, even if Zhang Le failed to win the award in the end, he would not return empty-handed.
However, Zhang Le didn't pay attention to these at all, and kept recalling the film in his mind, calculating the gains and losses. In the end, I set my sights on a Hollywood action movie.
That action movie also won the North American box office championship in the previous life, although the box office was only more than 200 million US dollars, which was not very prominent, but the investment in that film was only more than 20 million US dollars. The ratio of investment to box office is very impressive, and the reputation of the film is also excellent.
"Ah Le! Ah Le! ”
Zhang Le came back to his senses and looked at Chen Ke, a little puzzled.
Chen Ke's expression at this time was a little strange, and the expressions of the people around him were also a little strange. Zhang Le glanced around, and he seemed to have become the focus of the entire venue!
Well, the big screen on stage is also itself. So. At this time, I am locked by the camera!
Zhang Le thought of a possibility, and at this time, Yang Xin'er beside him immediately said: "Come on stage to receive the award!" ”
At the award ceremony, I was so distracted that I didn't even hear about my award. Zhang Le is also unprecedented, and it is estimated that there will be no one to come.
"The winner of this year's Best Supporting Actor is Zhang Le of "No Way Back"!" The award presenter announced again with a smile.
Zhang Le smiled awkwardly, got up and walked towards the podium.
"Thank you!"
Zhang Le took the little golden figure from the hands of the award presenters, walked to the microphone, smiled, and said: "The first time I acted, I really didn't have much confidence in my acting skills. Therefore, I never thought that I would win this award, and just now I wandered out of the world, purely to avoid being disappointed by not winning the prize last time. A bit of a self-deluded escape. ”
Zhang Le said this, and the audience smiled kindly. As for Zhang Le's distraction just now, whether this is the case, none of them will delve into it. However, someone will dig deeper into it afterwards. At most, they have seen the hilariousness again.
Zhang Le raised the little golden figure in his hand, and then said: "It's a bit of an unexpected surprise to be able to win this award." Thank you to the organizers, thank you to Director Chen, thank you to my girlfriend Yang Xin'er, and thank you to the people who supported and helped me. Nowadays, my acting skills have been recognized by everyone, and I hope that one day my films will also be recognized by everyone. Thank you! ”
Zhang Le walked off the podium after speaking, and there was applause from the audience. Whether the applause is support, politeness, or a response to Zhang Le's words.
Anyone can hear Zhang Le's words, and he doesn't pay much attention to this Best Supporting Actor award at all, and his distraction at the awards ceremony is undoubtedly the best proof.
And, it seems, it seems, perhaps, that he still has some complaints about the last session empty-handed!
