Superstar Couple

Chapter 434 There is much more to life besides movies

Directors have competition, but it's not as brutal as commercial competition. Whether it is Zhang Le or Steve, their appreciation for each other is sincere.

Of course, appreciating each other is far more acceptable to movie fans than slandering each other.

The two have their current status, and it is not possible to rely on one or two people to slander them. However, the two did not slander each other and their works during the interview, but they had great confidence in their own works in words.

The two blockbusters are deadlocked, which can divert the box office, so why can't it stimulate the film market?

When the movie was released, the situation was not the same in different places, but looking at it, it showed an evenly matched situation.

Huaxia, as Zhang Le's base camp, has unrivaled box office appeal. On the first day of its release, it directly beat the box office of that movie by a lot. But they lost in North America. Although the gap was small, the difference was not much different when converted into Chinese currency.

In Europe, another stronghold of Hollywood, Zhang Le lost to "Transformers", but regained the disadvantage in Southeast Asia and other regions.

According to the box office statistics on the first day, Zhang Le won by a small margin. But both films are full of stamina, and "Transformers" is a full-fledged commercial blockbuster, which has an inherent disadvantage in terms of word-of-mouth compared to the Hollywood blockbuster. However, in terms of visual effects, it has a big advantage. Especially for 3D special effects, "Transformers" has achieved the ultimate in today's technology.

On the second day, the two films did not seem to fall back, and continued to be popular. Although the single-day box office record was not broken, the combined box office of the two films broke the previous single-day total box office record. This is undoubtedly the result of the two films stimulating the film market.

According to the box office statistics on the second day, Zhang Le's "Transformers" still won by a slight margin.

The third day is still the same, and the fourth day is still the same!

With the accumulated box office in a week, the slight advantage has become clear. At box offices around the world, Zhang Le's "Transformers" appeared as the weekly box office champion. Although the Hollywood movie is catching up closely, many filmmakers know that it is almost impossible for that movie to overtake.

In terms of word of mouth, "Transformers" may not be as good as that movie, but in terms of popularity, it is much better, which can be seen from its box office.

If you lose word of mouth and win the box office, it doesn't matter who wins or loses. What's more, even Zhang Le can tell that the film directed by Steve will probably gain a lot in next year's Oscars. Even if the "Transformers" was applied for the Oscars, I'm afraid it would win at most one visual effects award.

The best visual effect, that award has won too many, Zhang Le has no interest. Besides, he didn't intend to sign up either.

Signing up is purely a lottery!

After one and a half months, the two films were released one after another, and the global box office statistics showed that "Transformers" was undoubtedly a victory, of course only in the box office.

"Transformers" has a cumulative global box office of 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, a full 200 million U.S. dollars more than the Hollywood film. But it did not break the box office record created by Zhang Le's "Xin Er's Adventures in Wonderland".

Both films were successful at the box office, at least making a fortune for investment companies. But almost everyone knows that if the two films do not have a deadly rivalry, even if they are released a few days apart, the box office will be far from that. Even "Transformers" may break the record for the highest box office.

Of course, there is no one if in this world.

The ones who regret this are undoubtedly the few investment companies in Hollywood, and there is even a little gap between the top management of these companies.

Those who could make a lot of money, but lost it because of the boring face. More importantly, I didn't earn any face in the end. Because it did lose at the box office. Moreover, it is impossible to regain face in the awards. Because they guessed that Zhang Le would not bring his "Transformers" to the Oscars. They will not take that movie to China's Golden Dragon Awards.

However, the deadlock of the two films is not without benefits, at least it has further stimulated the global film market. This is undoubtedly good for the film industry.

Two films were taken down, but the influence didn't disappear. Especially in China, as the winning side, it was naturally reported by many media. After all, this is another victory for Huaxia Film.

After all, the box office is more practical and realistic than word of mouth.

However, as the hero of this victory, Zhang Le did not appear in front of the media, nor did he express any views on the matter. It seemed to him that this was just a trivial matter.

"Transformers" is under drawing, and the script of Zhang Le's new film is also finalized. For this movie, which took Zhang Leji a lot of experience, the time spent on the script was almost the time it took to shoot a movie in the past.

It takes a long time, that's because of the meticulous craftsmanship. In Zhang Le's opinion, this script is definitely his pinnacle work, even if he counts the classics he has filmed in his previous life. As for how it will be filmed, it will only be known after the filming.

But Zhang Le is confident that this film will be his pinnacle work. As for whether it will be liked by fans, it has to come. After all, war films are inherently deficient, and there are not many fans of such films.

However, in Zhang Le's view, the reason why classics are classics is because they can break through their own genre limitations. He believes that his film will surprise him whether it is box office, word-of-mouth, or even awards.

Once the script came out, the film immediately entered the preparatory stage.

Zhang Le's film has attracted the attention of the world, and the film was naturally spread out as soon as it was prepared. The specific film was naturally kept secret, but the news that his new film was a war film was still spread, but it also caused a lot of controversy. uproar.

Zhang Le Films designs many types of films, but war films have obviously not appeared yet. Some people can't help but start to worry about him. Especially in China, war movies are less popular than science fiction movies.

Zhang Le can turn Chinese sci-fi movies over, can he turn war movies over? After all, Chinese war films are much more restricted than science fiction films.

China is not without war movies, especially modern war movies. There are even more films against aggression, but all of them have more or less themes. The main theme may not matter to Chinese movie fans, but foreign movie fans will inevitably not hesitate to watch it.

It's a thankless genre film. Therefore, there are countless TV series, but very few movies!

However, movie fans undoubtedly trust Zhang Le blindly. Because he created too many miracles. This time it will work wonders.

Perhaps after this movie was released, countless follow-up movies appeared immediately.

And what excited countless movie fans is undoubtedly the news that Zhang Le will direct and act in this film soon after. He is not a cameo this time, but as the male lead, and the female lead is his wife Yang Xiner. This is a movie in which their husband and wife act as the hero and heroine.

Fans don't know how long they have been looking forward to Zhang Le's appearance in the movie.

The expectations for this film are infinitely high. And the supporting roles that came out afterwards also made countless people excited.

Apart from the "Founding of the People's Republic of China", Zhang Le's film is undoubtedly the most powerful star lineup so far.

It's just that what the fans didn't expect was that they had been looking forward to it for more than three years.

It took nearly four years from the preparation of this film to its release, which made many movie fans accustomed to the short time span of Zhang Le's new film and felt a little depressed.

After three years of sharpening his sword, he naturally did not disappoint the fans, and even gave everyone a surprise.

This movie not only gives people an unprecedented visual enjoyment, its story and the connotation presented by the movie have given everyone a different Zhang Le.

This movie seems to have achieved the ultimate in all aspects, not only the fans praised it, but also the fellow filmmakers were amazed.

This movie of the same name by Mr. Yang, once released, the box office and word of mouth flew together. Both China and abroad have given extremely high praise to this movie. Even many people were stunned when they knew the reason why this movie was born.

They felt Zhang Le's nostalgia for the old man from the movie.

When Zhang Le was interviewed, he said that the reason why he and Yang Xiner got together at the beginning was the support of Mr. Yang. Of course, Zhang Le misses Mr. Yang not only because of this kindness.

However, many fans of Zhang Le and Yang Xiner realized at this time that when they got together, it was not only because of the pressure from social media, but also because of the gap in family conditions.

Now their love is still there, naturally because they have received more blessings.

The box office finally broke the box office record of "Kinger's Adventures in Wonderland" and became the film with the highest cumulative box office in the world. Many filmmakers bluntly said that the box office of this film may not be broken within a few years, and even Zhang Le may find it difficult to do so.

And what makes people talk about it more is undoubtedly that this movie not only set a new record at the box office, but also swept many awards ceremonies in terms of awards.

The film won ten awards at the Golden Dragon Awards, and Zhang Le and Yang Xiner won Best Actor and Best Actress, and became a couple who were crowned emperor and queen at the same time. It is estimated that this will also become an unrepeatable creation in the entertainment industry.

Of course, Zhang Le naturally won two awards for best director and best picture with this film.

And Zhang Le also won the Oscar for Best Director with this film, becoming the first Chinese director in China to win the best director. And this film won seven awards, becoming the foreign language film with the most Oscar wins.

Zhang Le broke countless records with this movie and created unprecedented miracles, but what made the fans crazy is that Zhang Le left a sentence and took his wife and children around the world. It seems that he has no intention of preparing a new film .

"There's more to life than movies!"

However, fans are more or less relieved that although Zhang Le does not direct works, he has written many films for the director of Xinle Film and Television to shoot, and those films have undoubtedly achieved extremely high box office.

Ten years later, it was rumored that Zhang Le's new movie was about to be prepared...
