Superstar Couple

Chapter 417 Build a brand of Xinle Film and Television

Zhang Le continued to shoot his movie, but Zhang Le ignored the film and television company that followed suit and made alien movies. He's not at all worried about being ruined by those guys like other filmmakers.

What's more, from Zhang Le's point of view, the great development of alien movies cannot be completed by him, Tang Xiao, or Xinle Film and Television. Following the trend is not necessarily all rubbish.

There are many classic movies about aliens in Hollywood, and Huaxia doesn't necessarily have to be the only one who can make good movies about aliens, isn't it?

However, regarding the urgency of those film and television companies in Huaxia, and the amount of investment they received, Zhang Le really didn't dare to expect to make a good movie.

Of course, it doesn't mean that a good alien movie cannot be made with a small investment. But with too little investment, it's impossible. After all, alien movies will definitely use a lot of special effects.

Special effects are developing well now, but they are also a money-burning thing.

Moreover, what Zhang Le and others did not expect was that it took more than two months for someone to release it directly in the Spring Festival.

There must be a cycle for filming a movie. In addition, publicity, scheduling and other issues are undoubtedly shoddy for a few months, let alone a science fiction movie about aliens.

Bad movie, no doubt bad movie. The result is undoubtedly to be scolded indecently. However, what people didn't expect was that this bad film actually managed to get back the cost in the first two days under the banner of aliens.

"Now the movie about aliens is going to be made a mess by them." Zhou Run said to Zhang Le during the break when he got the news, "Why don't you get angry at all? This type of movie, But you and Xinle Film and Television have promoted him, um, and even gone international. Are you really not angry if they ruined him like this?"

"Why am I angry?" Zhang Le smiled and said, "This movie is under the banner of aliens. It's not the same as being overwhelmed by a military-themed movie from Xinle Film and Television. Even if the first two Oh my god, its box office is astonishingly lower than that of "Wolf Warrior". Now with word of mouth spreading, isn't that movie's current box office not even a fraction of that of "Wolf Warrior"?"

"Why do I feel that your answer is irrelevant!" Zhou Run frowned and said, "Huaxia has finally made some achievements in the genre of science fiction movies, especially movies about aliens, which have a great reputation abroad. .These guys continue to destroy the domestic market by doing so, I am afraid that the foreign market will also be affected?"

"Do you want to release a movie like theirs abroad?" Zhang Le smiled and said, "As for domestic movies, they can't destroy them."

"One can't be ruined. But there are so many bad movies about aliens, I'm afraid movie fans will directly resist when they hear aliens?" Zhou Run continued. He has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he rarely has bad movies, and he has a little understanding of the movie market. Besides, this thing is obvious. It's not that it hasn't appeared before.

It happened naturally before, and Zhang Le knew it too. This world is the same as the previous life, because there are too many bad movies following the trend, directly ruining a movie of a theme. And the theme of destruction is still the same. That's the movie about zombies.

And Zhou Run had experienced this at the time, so when he saw that movies about aliens were developing like zombie movies, he showed a little worry.

As an actor and a lover of movies, he naturally hopes that Huaxia movies will develop in a good direction.

Although the bad movie was scolded badly, but it recovered its cost in two days, and then although the box office dropped sharply, it is an indisputable fact that it made a lot of money. This influence is driven by China's national conditions, and bad movies that follow suit will inevitably swarm And to.

"Hehe!" Zhang Le still smiled and said, "Without their bad movies, how can I set off the good movies produced by Xinle Film and Television. Maybe it won't take long, and there will be such an impression in the hearts of movie fans: Xinle produced, Must be a boutique!"

"It's produced by Xinle, it must be a high-quality product!" Zhou Run's face changed when he heard it. However, it was a smile immediately.

Movies produced by Xinle may not be able to do this now. After all, Xinle Film and Television is now the largest in China in terms of scale, and has strong funds. It invests in a lot of movies every year. Although there are many high-quality products, there will be occasional bad movies. Even movies with big investment have had bad movies.

Many of Zhang Le's movies have very low ratings, but at most they are somewhat controversial in terms of word of mouth. There are no film critics and fans who will call Zhang Le's film a bad film.

No matter how bad the movie is, the box office is astonishing, so it is not so bad.

Of course, many of Zhang Le's films have low ratings, mainly because most of them are commercial films. No matter how low the score is, there has been no shoddy production.

There are bad films in Xinle Film and Television, but there is absolutely no shoddy production.

Perhaps, it was as Zhang Le said. It won't be long before fans will have the impression that "Xinle's production must be a boutique".

Movies, like many things, cannot stand comparison.

"National Day" and "Men in Black" were big sellers, although the ratings were not high, even "National Day" was relatively low. But in the minds of movie fans, these two movies are definitely science fiction movies, especially the classics in movies about aliens. If Xinle Films produces one or two more classic movies about aliens, perhaps it is very possible for Xinle Films to establish its own brand in this regard.

"Are you going to make another movie about aliens?" Zhou Run's eyes lit up and he said immediately.

If Zhang Le really intends to shoot a movie about aliens to establish the authority of Xinle Film and Television in this field, Zhou Run will naturally be moved. He is very clear about how much "National Day" and "Men in Black" have benefited him. Among other things, not long after "Men in Black" was released in North America, he received invitations from many Hollywood films, and it was no surprise that they were all leading men. And the remuneration given almost reached the level of Hollywood first-line superstars.

However, he was very strict in his selection of films, and the remuneration he gave was high, but he didn't have all of them. He just chose one or two of the most promising ones. But after working with Zhang Le so many times, he has so much confidence in Zhang Le that he dared to take it without even reading the script.

"I'm really thinking about it." Zhang Le smiled and said, "However, I may not direct it personally. You also know that after this movie is shot, I will shoot "Transformers". .”

"Then you plan to let Tang Xiao direct it?" Zhou Run said, "He is really good at science fiction films."

Although Tang Xiao was good, compared to Zhang Le, Zhou Run still felt a lot worse.

"Why, do you want to cooperate with him again?" Zhang Le asked with a smile.

It is true that Zhou Run and Tang Xiao have not cooperated once or twice, and the relationship between the two is also good.

"Of course I would like to cooperate, but if the filming starts recently, I'm afraid the schedule will be missed." Zhou Run said with some regret.

"There will be plenty of time in the future." Zhang Le said with a smile.

In fact, for the movie that Zhang Le thought of, the starring role has indeed been chosen, not Zhou Run. It's Zhao Jin, a kung fu actor who is now well-received because of "Wolf Warrior".

A movie about a war with aliens.

It's just that Zhang Le was a little worried about whether Tang Xiao could handle the big scene and the battlefield scene.
