Chapter 428: Give some scenes, and ask for the box office
Chapter 428 gives some scenes, and points to the box office
Zhang Le's films have been shot a lot since his debut, whether they are purely commercial or biased towards literature and art, he has not accompanied money, and even most of the films are making a lot of money, which is also an important reason why Xinle Film and Television has developed so rapidly.
Think about the fact that Zhang Le started his family and relied on Yang Xin'er's millions to save hundreds of billions of net worth now, you can think about it. Of course, Zhang Le's current net worth is not in film and television. But it is undeniable that Zhang Le started with movies.
Zhang Le's achievements in movies overshadow his vision for investment. Although many Fortune Weekly magazines have a very high evaluation of Zhang Le from time to time, the impact is limited after all. His achievements in movies are too dazzling.
The main thing, of course, is that economic news is not as popular as entertainment news.
"Transformers" has attracted much attention, and the investment in this film has also broken the record of Zhang Le's film investment, and naturally it has also broken the record of Chinese film investment, and even became the world's largest investment film.
$350 million, which is undoubtedly a very high investment. And it is absolutely impossible to recover the cost by relying on the Chinese film market alone. Although the potential of the Chinese film market is huge, it has not yet been fully developed at this time.
However, Zhang Le's film is still very appealing in the world film market. Although the investment is so large, no one would think that Zhang Le's film will lose money. Of course, there are many people who want him to lose money, especially Hollywood.
It's a pity that before the filming of this film started, it was rumored that the advertising placement of this film had already recovered its cost. Even many Hollywood media took the opportunity to slander it.
Of course, there are not many believers, after all, more than 300 million dollars in advertising expenses are almost impossible. It would be unimaginable to reach hundreds of millions of dollars. However, there are also many so-called experts who swear that the rumors are false after all. This is because "Transformers" toys and anime and other related goods are marked with trademarks. Those hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising are not for one movie, but for the entire "Transformers" series.
If it were the entire collection, it would be possible to sell it for such a high price. "Transformers" can't be filmed only once. Toys and other peripheral products of "Transformers" will not be fleeting and short-lived.
Selling a series instead of a movie, many people are relieved, but they don't understand it either. This undoubtedly reveals the optimism of the series of major automobile caravans. What I don't understand is naturally why Xinle Film and Television are not separated? If the first part is successful, then the naming fee of the second part will inevitably increase significantly.
Some people seem to have thought of a habit of Zhang Le. That's rarely, if not all, sequels are made.
The release of "Transformers" was not a success, although it increased the exposure of the film. But almost all the reporters at the entire press conference set their eyes on Zhang Le. This is not what Zhang Le wants to see.
Don't talk about the two news at the press conference, it is the now popular Zhao. Jindu is rarely mentioned by those media reporters. Even if Zhang Le repeatedly shifted his attention to those actors.
For this, Zhang Le was a little helpless. There are probably only a few directors in the world who can steal the limelight from many big-name actors. Zhang Le is definitely the most famous one. He is a very popular star in his own right. Even, Hollywood invited him to star in movies, and the salary he gave even exceeded that of Hollywood's top stars. However, they were all rejected by Zhang Le.
Of course, those who invited Zhang Le to star in the movie may not have the intention of using Zhang Le's name to promote their movies.
Zhang Le likes to go behind the scenes, everyone can see this. What's more, the difference between him starring in a movie and starring in a movie is too big. Moreover, people who are used to being directors have a desire to control on the set. This kind of person is not suitable to be an actor. This is an actor, and I'm afraid he is mostly a drama bully.
If you are not a drama bully, you will be crowned as a drama bully, or at least you will end up playing a big name.
starred in a movie, unless it was self-directed and self-acting, otherwise the gains outweighed the losses for Zhang Le. Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Le doesn't like acting in movies at all. Occasionally, it's enough to make a cameo, and it's enough to get addicted to the play.
Of course, a press conference is unlikely to have no effect on both the film and the actors, even if the director steals the limelight. Although Zhang Le jokingly said that he would not attend the press conference of the film in the future, everyone knew that the director of the film start-up press conference was absent, and he was obviously a little snub to the media.
It is impossible for people in the entertainment industry not to deal with the media, especially people like Zhang Le, who have a film and television company. People who offend the media will either be banned or hacked in the entertainment industry, and it is difficult to think about it without being miserable.
Maybe there is no way for the media to take Zhang Le now, after all, he not only has an official background, but also has a prominent reputation, and has almost become an iconic figure in Chinese films, but there is no way to take you Zhang Le, it doesn't mean that you can't take your artists and your company's films, right?
Therefore, Zhang Le did not dare to be unscrupulous in the face of the media, and sometimes had to compromise.
After the press conference, "Transformers" entered the filming stage and gradually disappeared from major media reports. During Zhang Le's filming, he was afraid of being disturbed by the media, so he hardly publicized it and rarely revealed information. After all, the filming of the film, when the production will be completed, and premature publicity will not only waste manpower and material resources, but also overdraw fans' interest in the film, and the gains outweigh the losses.
This film is undoubtedly a lot more difficult than the previous films shot by Zhang Le, not only has a lot of special effects, but also involves a lot of location shooting. Although "Xin'er in Wonderland" was also filmed in many places immediately, it did not need to be filmed, but this "Transformers" was obviously not good, and many went to the location for filming.
The film was filmed all over the world, and there is no doubt that there are problems to consider at the box office. In the previous life, after the Chinese film market showed its potential, many Hollywood films would more or less have Chinese elements in them, and even some well-known Chinese actors were invited to play soy sauce in them.
Zhang Le will naturally do the same, not only filming around the world, but even inviting well-known actors from corresponding countries to make cameos. When it is released in your country, give you a little bit of the scene, and if it is released in other regions, just cut it out.
This may be the reason why there are many versions of a movie.
Although it was a cameo, the well-known actors in those countries were obviously still happy, after all, it was a win-win thing. Zhang Le may be able to use their popularity and popularity to promote the film in their home country and increase the box office. Why can't they use Zhang Le's films to increase their popularity, which is not only national, but international.
Participating in Zhang Le's film is a qualification in itself. Even if it is cut out in other regions in the end, at least it can improve a lot of net worth in your own country.
Give some scenes, and ask for the box office. This is not uncommon in Zhang Le's films. And this has been borrowed by many Hollywood film and television companies, but the most used is undoubtedly in China. After all, the Huaxia film market presents great potential, after all, it has a huge population. What's more, Chinese movies and Chinese actors still have a lot of attraction in the international arena. (To be continued.) )
