Chapter 392: Fighting with Aliens

In the eyes of many insiders, Zhang Le's "National Day" is a bit opportunistic. But I have to admit Zhang Le's cleverness. made the movie with the "main theme" into a commercial blockbuster, maybe only Zhang Le came up with this method. Of course, perhaps only Zhang Le has this confidence.

Some people say that Zhang Le used the "main theme" and the National Day gift film to hype up his movie. However, in the eyes of more people, Zhang Le's film has attracted more attention than the "main theme" and the National Day gift film. It would be unfair to say that he took the opportunity to hype.

Perhaps, Zhang Le's film will also open up a new direction for the "main theme" film.

The world is not something that only Americans can save. This time, Zhang Le wants to use his film to tell the world that I, the Chinese people, can also save the world. This kind of movie can also be shot by my Chinese filmmaker.

"Independence Day" was filmed in the nineties, and the investment was only tens of millions of dollars, which was not a blockbuster at that time. But I have to admit that the film has the characteristics of a blockbuster both in terms of scenes and visuals. And Zhang Le, who is good at big scenes and visual effects, will naturally do a better job in this regard.

Of course, in addition to Zhang Le's intentions, it is also because he is willing to spend money.

Of course, "Independence Day" was able to achieve a box office of more than 800 million US dollars at that time and become the annual champion of the year, in addition to the excellent quality of its own films, it is not unrelated to its willingness to spend more than 20 million yuan on publicity.

"Your ambition is so big, your movie wants to catch all the sea, land and air!" Tang Xiao read the script, listened to Zhang Le's thoughts on this film, and said with a smile, "That is, you can do it, if you change to other film and television companies or directors, I am afraid it will be difficult to make these scenes." ”

"If you want to shoot these scenes, I'll figure it out for you." Zhang Le smiled. Said.

"National Day", like "Independence Day", involves land, sea and air, but more shots are undoubtedly those fighters of the Air Force and space. Moreover, with Zhang Le's idea, he not only wants to show the advanced fighters that he has today, but also to get out the combat power that he imagines that he does not have.

In the original movie, there are many types of fighters, such as: the Boeing 747-300 modified "Air Force One" presidential plane, the UH-1 "Huey" helicopter snatched by the protagonist from Area 51, and the CH-54 "Sky Crane" helicopter. The F/A-18 is truly the Black Knight of the U.S. Marine Corps, the B-2 "Phantom" stealth bomber that drops nuclear bombs, the EC-2 "Hawkeye" airborne early warning aircraft that was destroyed by the alien spacecraft that unfortunately crashed into the alien spacecraft at the beginning, the F-14D "Tomcat" variable sweep wing fighter, the F-16C "Fighting Falcon" fighter, the F-15C "Hawk" fighter that escorts Air Force One, the F/A-18E single-seat "Super Hornet" fighter piloted by the protagonist, and the Sidewinder air-to-air missile, etc.

These can undoubtedly greatly satisfy some military fans to some extent. Of course, the most satisfying thing about this film is those UFO fans. Aliens and humans finally face off openly. Rather than trying to spread terror, it's like targeting the Great Wall and starting the bombing of the Forbidden City and Zhongnanhai.

Although the original "Independence Day" will be used by film critics from time to time as a model of criticism of high-grossing bad films, the plot is ordinary, the climax is cheap, and there are countless loopholes, which is certainly a shortcoming. But we can't help but admit that this is indeed a maddening film, and the audience does not have to bear too much psychological burden during the viewing process, and only needs to enjoy the shock of the grand stunt scenes: the giant alien spaceship is bombed, and the real target on land is destroyed. A chaotic scene of human panic. These are all UFO fans dream of seeing.

No one knows how many UFO fans there are in this world. But everyone knows that there must be a lot.

"Forget it?" Tang Xiao shook his head. Then he said, "That kind of scene, I still can't control it now." ”

After all, it was not his own movie, Tang Xiao didn't think too much about it. He came today just to ask for the script of his movie. What's more, as he said, the scene is big, and he really can't control it.

In terms of scene control, Tang Xiao is now inexperienced.

"Take a look, if you're not satisfied, change it!" Zhang Le handed Tang Xiao a script and said with a smile.

"Men in Black? Sci-fi, or action? Tang Xiao picked up the script handed by Zhang Le and said with some surprise. But after saying that, I took a serious look.

Zhang Le looked at Tang Xiao and did not answer the question he had just asked. This question does not need to be answered. Tang Xiao himself can find the answer from the film.

originally planned to shoot the "Star Wars" series for Tang Xiao, but Zhang Lezhen was not very sure. Because the first part of "Star Wars" in the previous life appeared in the seventies, and the time was converted to this world, which was also a few decades ago. Decades ago it shook the world, but what about decades later?

Zhang Le does not deny the classic of "Star Wars", but he has to admit that movies are the same as people many times, if they are not born at the right time, it is a waste.

What's more, this world already has films that tell interstellar stories. Crabs have already been eaten, and if you can't be the first person to eat crabs, your influence will naturally be greatly reduced.

But "Men in Black", a film that fights aliens on Earth, has not yet appeared.

The story of the "Men in Black" movie takes place in the future era, due to the continuous war in the universe, a large number of aliens have taken refuge on Earth. The Man in Black, as a special police officer specializing in dealing with aliens, is dedicated to stopping the secret invasion and destruction plans taken by evil aliens on Earth.

"It seems that you have been fighting with aliens for a while."

After a while, Tang Xiao, who had finished reading the script, said to Zhang Le with a smile. "National Day" will be about an alien invasion, while "Men in Black" is about aliens taking refuge on Earth.

"You're right, I've been thinking about aliens all this time." Zhang Le said with a smile, and then handed over a few more pieces of paper.

Tang Xiao looked at Zhang Le, took it and took a look, and was speechless for a moment. The dozen or so pieces of paper were not words, but artwork, and the flowers were nothing else, just some strange creatures, needless to say, they were the aliens imagined by Zhang Le.

"Are aliens so ugly in your eyes?" Tang Xiao laughed and teased.

"Maybe in their eyes, humans are the ugliest." Zhang Le said with a smile, "In my movie, aliens only need one race, these are the leftovers, and they must also be used in "Men in Black", so I will give it to you." You don't have to thank me. ”

"Then you're welcome." Tang Xiao smiled and said, "When your movie is released, it will definitely arouse the curiosity of many fans, especially those UFO fans, about aliens. ”

"Taking advantage of me?" Zhang Le smiled and said, "Your film is a box office hit, who is the most profitable?" ”

When Tang Xiao heard this, he was stunned. Who is the most profitable is naturally not him as the director, but the investor of this film. Who is the investor, naturally Xinle Film and Television, and who is Zhang Le? The boss of Xinle Film and Television. In the final analysis, it is he Zhang Le who makes the most profits.

Tang Xiao suddenly felt that he was a stupid fork. He looked at Zhang Le and suddenly asked, "Did you already calculate it?" ”

Zhang Le smiled but did not speak. He hadn't really thought about it before. As Tang Xiao said, after the release of "National Day", "The Man in Black" was released, which naturally means picking up cheap. However, in the final analysis, this is also cheaper Xinle Film and Television. (To be continued.) )

PS: My hometown is a bit far from the city, and my doctor in charge is on duty on Monday morning, so I have to go down to the city tomorrow and come back after a re-examination the day after tomorrow. If you come back early, you will be updated the day after tomorrow, and if you come back late, you will have to take two days off. The serious illness has not been cured, and when I catch a cold, my body is really crossed, and I dare not fight like before. See the cool!
