Chapter 390: Zhang Le, who was questioned by the media again
Chapter 390 Zhang Le, who was questioned by the media again
Zhang Le can refuse, or he can be perfunctory. Even so, there will be no adverse consequences for him in Xinle Film and Television. His current background simply doesn't bother with that. Perhaps, this is why the above did not find him directly, but through the mouth of the Yang family.
"You can ignore this, are there fewer main theme TV series shot by Xinle Film and Television every year?" Yang Xin'er looked at Zhang Le and said, "There's no need to disrupt your plan because of this. What's more, the films presented for the National Day are mainly responsible for the Huaxia Film Company. The rest of the film and television companies are mostly just meaningful. This is the case with the national conditions. ”
Huaxia Film Company is a state-owned entertainment company, unlike many private film and television companies. If there is any film company in Huaxia that is the boss, there is no doubt that it is Huaxia Film Company. Even if Xinle Film and Television shoots the most films every year, has the largest scale of investment, and has the highest profits, it cannot be compared with Huaxia Film Company.
There is no other reason, Xinle Film and Television is a private enterprise, no matter how strong the background is.
"It's hard to refuse." Zhang Le smiled and said.
It's hard to refuse, it's not that you can't refuse. Some people still have to give face. Even if you don't have to. The sedan chair is carried by everyone.
"The tribute film shot by Huaxia Film Company is the highlight of the above. Private film and television companies shoot such films, but they show an attitude. There is no need for Xinle Film and Television to express this attitude. There have been enough expressions in the past. Yang Xin'er said, "Such a film is undoubtedly thankless. The film is too politically significant, and it is not well received by fans at all, and it is difficult to recover the cost. ”
"Hehe, it depends on who shoots!" Zhang Le smiled and said.
"You're not really going to be afraid, are you?" Yang Xin'er looked at Zhang Le and saw that he seemed to be serious, so she said with a smile, "You are not afraid of losing money by shooting such a film." Break your record for making a lot of money per film? ”
?“ Why didn't I break the record of the main theme movie that didn't do well at the box office? Zhang Le said with a smile.
"You're as confident as ever." Yang Xin'er said with a smile.
"If I am not confident, how can I marry you as a wife." Zhang Le said with a smile.
The plan is not as good as the change, "Iron Fist" is almost ready, but it has to be put down and start preparing another film. And this film is still a little tight in time, and it needs to be produced before next year's National Day.
Zhou Run's schedule has been adjusted, and the plan has changed, but it has not been affected. Because Zhang Le, the star of the new film, still invited him, although he is not the only starring actor in the film. But both from the film itself and from a personal point of view. Zhou Run will not refuse. And even one of the leading actors who played with him was Feng Lei, who had cooperated many times and was also very pleasant.
Zhang Le temporarily changed his shooting plan and invested 200 million yuan to shoot a film dedicated to the National Day, ready to fill the entire entertainment news.
There is nothing surprising about the dedication film. After all, China's national strength is increasing day by day, and the birthday of the 60th anniversary of Jiazi is also a very special day. It is understandable that many film and television companies have made some tribute films to curry favor with the authorities.
But Zhang Le doesn't need to rely on this to curry favor with the authorities. After all, it is no secret that Yang Xin'er has a strong background. And it wasn't done so thoroughly. 200 million Chinese dollars, it is definitely a rare big production. In addition to Xinle Film and Television, there are often such arms in Huaxia, and other film and television companies rarely appear. And even if there are blockbusters with hundreds of millions of investments, most of them are joint ventures of several film and television companies. Share the risk.
Zhang Le is good at commercial blockbusters, and every film is a box office hit. But now that the main theme of the tribute film is filmed this time, in the eyes of many people, it is difficult to achieve a good box office. Even if Zhang Le has countless fans.
The main theme of the film. Born not to be seen by fans. Who wants to pay to go to the theater and listen to their preaching?
Isn't the main theme of the film just preaching? At least in the minds of many fans.
Moreover, Zhang Le's movies are notoriously over-budgeted. It is estimated that 200 million, and it is normal to shoot more than tens of millions.
Not to mention the cost of 200 million. If the box office does not reach 500 million, it will be difficult to recover the cost.
The box office of 500 million is really not a problem for Zhang Le at all. But this time it's completely different. There is still no market for the main theme of the film in China, let alone overseas. Estimate; It can't even be released overseas. And relying on the domestic film market alone, is it possible for a film with a main theme to win a box office of 500 million?
Before this, the films stained with the word "main theme" had the highest box office of just 100 million, and it was supported by a star lineup.
No media is optimistic about Zhang Le's film. This is also the only biggest question that Zhang Le has received in recent years. However, Zhang Le just laughed at these news. How to do it, still do it.
And when even a piece of news came out, the bad media exclaimed: Zhang Le is crazy from time to time? Could it be that he is blinded by the success he has already achieved?
Xinle Film and Television invested 150 million yuan to shoot a military drama, and the director was actually a TV series director who had never shot a movie. The leading actor is a Wuhan star who can't be popular no matter how hard he fights for 20 years.
"Wolf Warrior", a work that was not very high at the box office in his previous life, but Zhang Le liked it very much, although it did not give Zhang Le much surprise, but it did not disappoint him. There is a sentence in it, but Zhang Le hopes very much, that is: Those who offend me in Huaxia will be punished even if they are far away!
Liu Meng, a director of Xinle Film and Television who shoots military TV series. This guy's background is very similar to the male protagonist of "I Am Special Forces" in his previous life. graduated from Yenching Film Academy, and is also Zhang Le's classmate. And this guy went to be a soldier for a few years in his freshman year, a special forces, and he was a very good one. However, he later retired due to injury, and after completing his studies, he entered Xinle Film and Television.
And the first TV series he directed was "I Am Special Forces" written by Zhang Le!
Recalling that when I saw the script of "I Am a Special Soldier", Liu Meng's expression was really exciting.
And when Liu Meng got "Wolf Warrior" written by Zhang Le and discussed the plot, he showed an expression of wanting to say something.
The film written by Zhang Le, whether it is a film or a TV series, few directors have raised objections. This is not only because of Zhang Le's identity, but also because of what Zhang Le said, they couldn't think of a better one.
"If you have any opinions, just ask. We're talking about the plot, not arranging tasks. Zhang Le seemed to see that Liu Meng had a different opinion, so he said. He is not a man who does not listen to dissenting opinions. Of course, the premise is that the opinions you put forward are better for me to give than my own, otherwise I have to do what I say. This may be a common problem of being a director.
I want to follow your opinion, it's not impossible, but you have to convince me.
"Xinle Film and Television is blessed with unique conditions, isn't this too childish? What's more, there is no need for a budget of 150 million at all. Liu Meng looked at Zhang Le and said with some apprehension.
"You want to make the scene bigger?" Zhang Le was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile.
The conditions of Xinle Film and Television in Liu Meng's mouth naturally refer to the relationship with the military. When it comes to it, it is naturally not a problem to make some big scenes and show some advanced weapons. Liu Meng filmed several military-themed TV series, so he naturally knew what the relationship between Zhang Le and the military was, and he believed that as long as military secrets were not involved, everything might not be a problem.
Liu Meng nodded and looked at Zhang Le with some expectation.
"Then make the scene bigger. You can shoot as much as you want, I'll help you get it on the military side. The budget can also be increased appropriately. However, this film is the first military-type movie in China, you can't smash it for me. Zhang Le nodded, and then said.
Naturally, it is not a problem on the military side, not to mention that Old Man Yang is still there, even if he is not there, with the relationship between the Yang family and the military now, it is naturally not a problem to make some big scenes.
Although "Wolf Warrior" also had some big scenes in the previous life, it was not a big deal. This is also the reason why Zhang Le was a little unsatisfied when he watched this movie. Therefore, Liu Meng put forward this opinion, and Zhang Le agreed without any hesitation at all.
"Well, throw that **** into the army to practice for three months, he has less of a soldier's breath." Zhang Le thought for a moment and continued.
, is the starring role of "Wolf Warrior", an unlucky guy who was born at the same time as the starring actor in his previous life.
"It's already been thrown in." Liu Meng smiled and said, "This is still the **** who brought it up first." The man was hardworking. (To be continued.) )
