Superstar Couple

Chapter 119 You Make Up and I Direct

New movie? When Chen Ke heard this, he was a little puzzled, but then he smiled and said, "I'm afraid you have spent all your energy on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". It’s about one film a year. My new film still has shadows.”

"Hehe!" Zhang Le smiled awkwardly. Nowadays, there are quite a few directors who can produce one film a year, but those who can maintain quality and quantity like Chen Ke, can produce one film every two years is not bad.

What's more, every time Chen Ke shoots a movie, it is almost a big move, not to mention the shooting, sometimes it takes half a year or even longer to prepare.

Moreover, a director at the level of Chen Ke does not just take a script and shoot. There may be many good scripts in front of him, but they still have to make his heart move.

"How about we cooperate?" Chen Ke said suddenly.

"Cooperation?" Zhang Le was a little surprised, and then said with a smile, "Okay! But this time, I will be the director and you will be the actor."

Zhang Le's teasing words undoubtedly expressed his rejection.

Chen Ke was taken aback when he heard it, and then shook his head and smiled, "You are a natural director. Directors want to shoot according to their own ideas. I also have a deep understanding of this. I guess unless you direct and act by yourself, you will at best It’s just a cameo in someone else’s film. The cooperation I’m talking about is not me directing you to act, let alone you directing me to act.”

"Oh? How to cooperate?" Zhang Le became interested when he heard it.

After all, Chen Ke is the leading director in China, and his box office appeal is extremely strong. Anyone would be interested in cooperating with him.

"You write and I direct, how about my studio working with you, Xinle Film and Television?" Chen Ke said immediately.

"No problem! Whatever type of script Director Chen wants, I will definitely come up with one that satisfies you. When Director Chen is satisfied with the script, how about we talk about the cooperation in detail?" Zhang Le's eyes lit up, and he said hastily.

There are so many classic movies in his mind, and he is too old to shoot, and he probably won't be able to shoot them all. Chen Ke's director level is completely trustworthy. It's a good thing to cooperate with him.

"What type? As long as the script is good, I don't care what type it is." Chen Ke said with a smile.

Chen Ke is still looking forward to Zhang Le's screenwriting ability. Although the films that have been released today are almost all low-cost, it can be seen from this that Zhang Le's control over the market is very strong.

Of course, the reason why Chen Ke had such thoughts was because his two old friends Ye Ming and Bao Zhen praised Zhang Le's new film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". That's why when he saw Zhang Le, he asked him when the new film would be released, and he was really curious because of what his two old friends told him.

And it can make another old friend of his turn down a Hollywood blockbuster film contract and return to China to shoot a movie after reading the script. How bad can the script be?

Zhang Le dared to invite Li Jie to act and invested nearly 200 million yuan to shoot the film. Based on his understanding of Zhang Le, if he didn't have full confidence, it would be impossible.

There is another very important reason why Chen Ke wanted Zhang Le to propose cooperation. He encountered a bottleneck. He wanted to use the creativity of a young director, Zhang Le, to seek a breakthrough.

Zhang Le smiled and nodded. The movies that kept popping up in his mind were not those classic movies, but those movies with high box office.

After some exclusionary selections, Zhang Le took a fancy to "Jurassic Park", but then shook his head and rejected it. It's not that he thinks that Chen Ke doesn't have the ability to shoot it, and it's not that Zhang Le plans to shoot it himself. But no money!

"Jurassic Park" is definitely a box office killer. Even if it is a different world, Zhang Le still believes that it will shock the world if it is filmed. Scrambling countless banknotes in the world. But the problem is that the investment in this film is too large, and he can't get it out at all now.

Zhang Le naturally didn't want to take advantage of other investors with this kind of money-absorbing weapon. If there are risks, it is okay to bring in some investors and share them. But Zhang Le didn't think there would be any risk in this film, even if the investment was huge. There is no need to find someone to share the investment risk.

Of course, there is another reason why Zhang Le thought of this film first, and that is that there is a dinosaur museum in his hometown Yancheng.

Zhang Le was silent, thinking about this all the time in his mind.

Others from the crew of "No Way Back" also came one after another, but Zhou Run seemed to be absent because he was filming outside and there were no nominations this time.

The awards ceremony began, "No Way Back" had three nominations, but the best screenplay failed to win, but Chen Dong's Chen Jiaban won the best action design, even if Zhang Le failed to win the award in the end, it would not be empty-handed And returned.

However, these Zhang Le didn't pay attention to these at all, and they kept recalling the movie in their minds, calculating the gains and losses. Finally, I set my sights on a Hollywood action movie.

That action movie also won the box office champion in North America in the previous life. Although the box office was only more than 200 million US dollars, which was not very outstanding, the investment in that film was only more than 20 million US dollars. The ratio of investment to box office is very impressive, and the reputation of the film is also excellent.

"Ale! Ale!"

Zhang Le came back to look at Chen Ke with some doubts.

Chen Ke's expression at this time was a little weird, and the expressions of the people around him were also a little weird. Zhang Le glanced around, and he seemed to be the focus of the entire venue!

Well, the big screen on stage is also me. So. At this moment, I was locked by the camera!

Zhang Le thought of a possibility, and at this moment, Yang Xiner who was beside her immediately said, "Come on stage to accept the award!"

At the award ceremony, my mind was so distracted that I didn't even hear that I had won the award. Zhang Le's move is unprecedented, and it is estimated that there will be no one in the future.

"The winner of this year's Best Supporting Actor is "No Way Back" Zhang Le!" The award presenter announced again with a smile.

Zhang Le smiled awkwardly, got up and walked to the podium.

"Thanks!"

Zhang Le took the statuette from the award presenter, walked to the microphone, smiled, and said, "It's my first time acting, and I really don't have much confidence in my acting skills. So, I never thought I would win this award at all. Just now, the soul wandered away, purely to avoid the loss of not winning the prize like last time. It is a bit of self-deception to escape."

When Zhang Le said this, the audience smiled kindly. As for whether Zhang Le was distracted just now, no one of them would go into it. However, there will be people who will look into it later. At most, they watched the excitement again.

Zhang Le raised the little golden man in his hand, and then said: "It's a bit of a surprise to win this award. Thank you to the organizer, thank you to Director Chen, thank you to my girlfriend Yang Xiner, and thank you to those who support and help me. Now, acting skills have been recognized by everyone. I hope that one day my film will also be recognized by everyone. Thank you!"

After Zhang Le finished speaking, he walked off the podium, and the audience burst into applause. It doesn't matter if the applause was support, politeness, or a response to Zhang Le's words.

Anyone who heard Zhang Le's words could tell that he didn't attach much importance to the Best Supporting Actor award at all, and his distraction at the awards ceremony was undoubtedly the best proof.

And, it seems, it seems, maybe, he still has some complaints about returning empty-handed last time!
