Superstar Couple

Chapter 392 Competing 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. Perhaps only Zhang Le could think of such a way to turn the "main theme" movie into a commercial blockbuster. Of course, maybe only Zhang Le has the confidence.

Some people said that Zhang Le used the "main theme" and the National Day gift film to hype his own movie. But in the eyes of more people, Zhang Le's film has received 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 only for the Americans to save. This time, Zhang Le will use his video to tell the world that I, the Chinese, can also save the world. Such a movie, I, a Chinese filmmaker, can also shoot it.

"Independence Day" was filmed in the 1990s in the previous life, and the investment was only tens of millions of dollars. It was not considered a blockbuster at that time. But I have to admit that the film has the characteristics of a blockbuster in terms of scenes and vision. And Zhang Le, who is good at big scenes and visual effects, will naturally do better in this regard.

Of course, apart from Zhang Le's hard work, it is also because he is willing to spend money.

Of course, "Independence Day" was able to earn more than 800 million U.S. dollars at the box office and became the annual champion of the year. Apart from the excellent quality of the film itself, it has nothing to do with its willingness to spend more than 20 million yuan in promotional fees.

"Your ambition is really great. Your movie wants to catch all land, sea and air!" Tang Xiao read the script and heard Zhang Le's thoughts on the movie, and said with a smile, "That means you can do it, if you It would be difficult for other film and television companies or directors to create these scenes."

"If you want to shoot these scenes, I will find a way for you." Zhang Le smiled and said.

"National Day" is the same as "Independence Day", involving sea, land and air, but more scenes are undoubtedly those fighter planes of the air force and space. Moreover, with Zhang Le's idea, he not only wants to show the advanced fighters that are available today, but also shows the combat power he imagined that he doesn't have.

In the original movie, there are many types of fighters, such as: Boeing 747-300 modified "Air Force One" presidential plane, UH-1 "Huey" helicopter that the protagonist snatched from Area 51, CH-54 "Air Force One" Crane "helicopter, F/A-18 really Black Knight for US Marine Corps, B-2 "Phantom" stealth bomber that dropped nukes, EC-2 "Hawkeye" airborne early warning plane that was initially unfortunately hit by an alien spacecraft that was destroyed , F-14D "Tomcat" variable-sweep wing fighter, F-16C "Fighting Falcon" fighter, F-15C "Eagle" fighter escorting Air Force One, F/A-18E driven by the protagonist Single-seat "Super Hornet" fighter jets, Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, and more.

These will undoubtedly satisfy some military fans to a certain extent. Of course, this film is most satisfying to those UFO fans. Aliens and humans are finally confronting each other openly, instead of spreading terror in a cover-up manner, which is like the difference between targeting the Great Wall and starting bombing the Forbidden City and Zhongnanhai.

Although the original "Independence Day" will be used by film critics from time to time as a critique of high-grossing bad movies, the plot is mediocre, the climax is cheap, and there are countless loopholes. In the movie, the audience does not have to bear too much psychological burden in the process of watching the movie, but only needs to enjoy the shock brought by the grand stunt scenes: the giant alien spaceship is blown up, the real target on the land is destroyed, and the panicked chaos of human beings Scenes. These are the things UFO fans dream of seeing.

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

"Forget it?" Tang Xiao shook his head, and then said, "I still can't control that kind of scene."

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

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

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

""Men in Black"? Science fiction, or action?" Tang Xiao said in surprise as he picked up the script Zhang Le handed over. But after he finished speaking, he looked at it seriously.

Zhang Le looked at Tang Xiao, but did not answer his question just now. This question doesn't need an answer either. Tang Xiao can find the answer from the film himself.

He planned to film the "Star Wars" series for Tang Xiao, but Zhang Le really didn't have much confidence. Because the first "Star Wars" in the previous life appeared in the 1970s, if the time is converted to this world, it is also decades ago. It could shake the world decades ago, but what about decades later?

Zhang Le does not deny the classics of "Star Wars", but he has to admit that movies are like people in many cases. If they are born at the wrong time, they will be ruined.

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

But the "Men in Black" movie that fights aliens on Earth has not yet appeared.

The story told by the movie "Men in Black" takes place in the future era. Due to the constant wars in the universe, a large number of aliens have sought refuge on Earth. As a special police force against aliens, the men in black are committed to preventing the evil aliens from secretly invading and destroying the earth.

"It seems that you have been competing with aliens during this time."

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

"You're right. During this period of time, my mind is really full of aliens." Zhang Le said with a smile, and then handed over a few more pieces of paper.

Tang Xiao looked at Zhang Le, took a look at it, and was speechless. The dozen or so sheets of paper were not text, but drawings, and the flowers were nothing but some strange creatures, needless to say, they were the aliens that Zhang Le imagined.

"In your eyes, are all aliens so ugly?" Tang Xiao teased with a smile.

"Perhaps in their view, human beings are the ugliest." Zhang Le said with a smile, "In my movie, aliens only need one race, and these are the rest, presumably after "Men in Black" I will use it in the middle school, so I will give it to you. You don’t have to thank me.”

"Then I won't be polite." Tang Xiao said with a smile, "When your movie is released, it will definitely arouse many fans, especially those UFO fans, who are curious about aliens. Doesn't that count as taking advantage of you?"

"Taking advantage of me?" Zhang Le smiled and said, "Your movie is a big hit at the box office, who will make the most money?"

When Tang Xiao heard this, he was taken aback. Whoever made the most profit was naturally not the director, but the investor of the film. Who is the investor, of course it is Xinle Film and Television, but who is Zhang Le? The boss of Xinle Film and Television. In the final analysis, Zhang Le made the most profit.

Tang Xiao suddenly felt that he was a fool. He looked at Zhang Le, and suddenly asked, "Did you make up your mind a long time ago?"

Zhang Le smiled without saying a word. He hadn't really thought about it before. As Tang Xiao said, after "National Day" was released, "Men in Black" was released, which naturally meant picking up a bargain. However, in the final analysis, this is also cheap. (to be continued ~^~)
