Superstar Couple

Chapter four hundred and nineteen

The quality of the schedule definitely has an impact on the box office of a movie. Xinle Film and Television has been thriving in three consecutive good schedules, allowing many people to see how powerful Xinle Film and Television is.

Not to mention Huaxia's film companies, even Hollywood's, I'm afraid it would be good if they can produce one blockbuster movie at the box office on average every year. The movies produced by Kexinle Film and Television have more and more big investments, and the box office is also getting higher and higher. In just half a year, there have been three blockbuster films, two of which have also achieved high box office abroad. The total box office of the three films is as high as 20 billion Chinese dollars, which is an unimaginable figure.

And Xinle Film and Television obviously released more than these three films, and there are also some low-cost movies. Due to the layering of theaters and costs, Xinle Film and Television's annual profit may be nearly 10 billion.

Nearly 10 billion, the annual profit of a film and television company. This has led many people to speculate on how much money Zhang Le has now. Because everyone knows that Xinle Film and Television is just one of Zhang Le's many industries. It was even rumored that this was not his most profitable industry.

Of course, when this word came out, it was impossible for Xinle Film and Television to make so much profit in a year.

With a profit of tens of billions a year, it is naturally the most profitable industry now.

However, it is impossible for Xinle Film and Television to make such money every year. After all, it is impossible for Zhang Le, Tang Xiao and others to make an average of one movie per year. Moreover, it is impossible for Xinle Film and Television to guarantee that every movie will make money. Before, there was a big investment to accompany the bottom of the sky.

Of course, Xinle Film and Television can still bear the cost if one or two big investments don't pay off. Even if Zhang Le sometimes eats better than a billion Chinese currency investment, he can afford it, and it won't even affect the normal operation of Xinle Film and Television.

Xinle Film and Television doesn't have much else, and its working capital is definitely comparable to other film and television companies.

Tang Xiao was unwilling to co-direct a film with others, so he chose "The Ninth District", a story about aliens who were stranded on the earth and isolated by humans in a refugee area in South Africa. This movie and "The Battle of Los Angeles" are completely two concepts.

Of the two films, from a personal point of view, Zhang Le prefers "The Battle of Los Angeles". However, I have to say that Tang Xiao is really not suitable for filming "The Battle of Los Angeles". Now that he has to shoot this film, Tang Xiao must have done a long time of preparation. The time was too long, and it was somewhat different from Zhang Le's plan.

Tang Xiao guessed Zhang Le, and even guessed who Zhang Le asked him to co-direct, but he still refused.

Liu Meng, this is the co-director Zhang Le found for him. Liu Meng used to film TV series, but now he only filmed a movie "Wolf Warrior", but Huaxia is probably the one who has the deepest research on the battlefield, and this person is not lacking in imagination. But there is still something lacking in scene control. Zhang Le entrusted him with directing the film alone, apparently at ease.

But if Liu Meng was assigned to be Tang Xiao's deputy, Liu Meng would not have any objections. After all, Tang Xiao's fame is there. But Tang Xiao's personal subjective consciousness is too strong, and I'm afraid he may not listen to Liu Meng's opinion.

Arranging Liu Meng to co-direct with him is also a test.

Tang Xiao left, but Chen Ke came again.

This director who is now in Hollywood, also returns to China from time to time to cooperate with Xinle Film and Television, and also visits Zhang Le's house when he is free.

"Open the back door for Tang Xiao again?"

When Chen Ke came, he met Tang Xiao and went out. Seeing the script in his hand, he naturally guessed something, and joked when he saw Zhang Le.

"Director Chen is back for the New Year!" Zhang Le smiled, but did not answer. He didn't know how to answer either. It's not bad to say to open the back door for Tang Xiao, but it's not entirely correct. After all, where is Tang Xiao's ability?

"Huh?" Chen Ke was about to say something, but suddenly saw the script of "Battle of Los Angeles" on the coffee table, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Is there any problem?"

Although Chen Ke was asking, he didn't ask Zhang Le's permission at all, and just took the script and started reading it.

He and Zhang Le are really not that polite. What's more, his studio is still under the banner of Xinle Film and Television. Even if he went to Hollywood to make a movie, there would be Xinle Film and Television's investment in it. It's just that the producer is not Xinle Film and Television.

Zhang Le smiled and said nothing. The relationship between him and Chen Ke is very good. Moreover, Zhang Le is a grateful person. When he debuted, Chen Keke helped him a lot.

"How about this movie for me?" After a while, Chen Ke looked at Zhang Le and said. This time it's you asking, and with a little bit of demandingness. From his tone, Zhang Le felt that he liked the movie.

"No problem!" Zhang Le smiled and said, "However, how about I arrange a deputy for you?"

"Deputy?" Chen Ke was a little puzzled. What is confusing is not the arrangement of the deputy itself, but who Zhang Le will arrange. Zhang Le was Chen Ke's deputy and had learned from him in the crew. And Tang Xiao also served as Chen Ke's assistant, and also learned from him. The same is true for Xinle Film and Television and several directors. However, in the past two years, he has cooperated with Xinle Film and Television, and has not arranged a deputy.

"Who are you planning to arrange?" Chen Ke continued to ask.

There is nothing to say about Chen Ke. And every time Zhang Le arranges a deputy, he will teach them all. Now that Xinle Film and Television is still rumored to be director Chen Ke's deputy, then Xinle Film and Television will probably focus on training.

"Liu Meng! I don't know if Director Chen has heard of it." Zhang Le said with a smile.

"Liu Meng? The director who made "Wolf Warrior", I watched his movie two days ago. Don't you think his level is inferior to my deputy!" Chen Ke said a little surprised, but seeing Zhang Le's The smile seemed to think of something, then he smiled and said, "Be a deputy, and co-direct with me. I heard that he has a lot of research on shooting war scenes. This movie is a total war and it is different from the traditional sense, but It also leads to the same goal. This is also my weakness."

When Zhang Le heard it, he was taken aback for a moment, and he looked at Chen Ke in shock. Chen Ke is now an internationally renowned director. Not to mention domestic, even abroad, it has a lot of fame. Of course, his reputation is not the same as that of Zhang Le. His fame is only in the circle. And Zhang Le's reputation is outside the circle.

Chen Ke naturally knew that Zhang Le wanted to vigorously train Liu Meng. "Wolf Warrior" is undoubtedly a test for Liu Meng, and he completed it very well.

China lacks directors like Liu Meng.

"I'm old, how long can I make movies. From now on, you young people will rule the world." Chen Ke smiled and said.

Chen Ke likes to support the younger generation, and Zhang Le has been favored by him in this regard. Agreeing to co-direct this time is naturally supporting Liu Meng. Co-directing is on the same level.

Liu Meng, it's obviously still far behind. In fact, even with Tang Xiao, Liu Meng is still far behind. This is why, Zhang Le and Tang Xiaoti are co-directors, while Chen Keti is only an assistant director. One is that he is closer to Tang Xiao, and the other is undoubtedly that Tang Xiao is not as good as Chen Ke now.

"You're trying to overwhelm the seedlings!" Zhang Le shook his head, and then said, "I'd rather be your deputy, and give him more chances to be in charge! I don't think Liu Meng will agree to co-direct with you."

It's not that Liu Meng can't, but he doesn't dare!

If Zhenruo co-directs with Chen Ke, it is inevitable that people will be scolded as "not knowing what is good or bad", and use Chen Ke to gain fame. Fame is out, I am afraid it is not a good reputation.
