Superstar Couple - Chapter 427

Chapter 427: The Strong Support of the Military

The toys in the movie “Steel Armor” are not for the time being, but the game is deeply loved by everyone. Even as far as the game is concerned, it is more comprehensive than the movie itself. At least, there are many more robots in the game, and there are many more systematic robot settings.

As for toys, due to cost reasons, they are taking the high-end route, and sales are still very good. Especially in Europe, America and other places, there are even many similar robot competitions. Of course, the scenes are a lot more playful than in the movies. Those children who are mostly wealthy people just get together to play.

The box office of the movie was a great success in China, and it was flanked by Hollywood films in Europe and North America. The box office was affected, but it was not without the power to fight back. This Hollywood flanking attack on Zhang Le’s film was at best a loss for both sides, of course, the “injury” to each other was not very severe.

Hollywood film meets Zhang Le, not without the power of sniper, but Hollywood obviously does not want to die with Zhang Le, so there is no pressing on the release time.

After the release of “Steel Fist”, Zhang Le gradually began to focus on the preparation of “Transformers”. Relatively speaking, the preparation of this film takes a lot more time than other films. Among them, some negotiations with the military will undoubtedly require Zhang Le to come forward in person.

In this movie, Zhang Le will not only show some conventional military weapons, but also many top-level equipment of the Chinese military, and even set up scenes at military bases. All these need to be negotiated by the director Zhang Le.

Of course, the Yang family’s influence in the military is extremely large now, coupled with Zhang Le’s own influence, the military still gives great support.

The preparations for “Transformers” have attracted much attention, and the naming of the world’s major auto companies has also been settled. There is no definite confidence in how much advertising expenses this film has earned, but it is said that the film cost was directly recovered, and there was even a profit.

The specific amount of investment in this movie is not clear to everyone, but it can be imagined. I’m afraid it is much larger than Zhang Le’s previous film investment. Xinle Film and Television also once said that the investment in this film would break the record of Xinle Film and Television, which is evident.

Zhang Le’s previous film investments have already made other film companies look ahead, and the investment in this film is naturally more terrifying. But what people did not expect was that the film had not been released yet, or even had not even started shooting, and the cost had already been recovered.

However, thinking of the global influence of “Transformers” whether it is cartoons or comics, it is understandable to sell at a high price. In particular, the titles of Bumblebee and Optimus Prime have been sold at high prices.

Of course, with the in-depth report of the reporter, everyone knows this time. That title sells not only the movies, but also toys. After the movie is released, the corresponding car trademarks will also appear on those toys.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was relieved.

But it is still amazing. Everyone knows that the comics, animations and toys of “Transformers” have made Zhang Le a lot of money. As soon as this live-action movie came out, it was hard to imagine how much that piece of music would make with this series.

It is said that the originality of “Transformers” came to Zhang Le, and even the first draft came to Zhang Le.

With this Zhang Le, he can make a fortune. Of course, Zhang Le is not so bad now.

“Iron Armored Steel Fist” was released for more than a month. The domestic box office has still passed 2 billion, but it has just passed. The foreign box office is only more than 4 billion, and the global box office is only 8 billion Chinese dollars. Not many of the movies, but it’s not bad. At least, the profitability of this film has made many film and television companies jealous.

Soon after the “Steel Fist” was drawn, “Transformers” was launched immediately. But this time, Zhang Le didn’t start the boot as low-key as before, but held a grand launch conference.

Of course, the reason is undoubtedly to take this opportunity to push the two newcomers to the public.

Film promotion is inseparable from actors. And why don’t actors want to use movies to promote themselves.

Zhang Le’s “Transformers” does not need to be promoted by two newcomers, but the two actors need to rely on this film to become famous. After all, the two newcomers are now contracted artists of Xinle Film and Television. The more popular they are, the more profits it creates for Xinle Film and Television.

The launch conference of Zhang Le’s new film naturally attracted the arrival of many media. What’s more, Zhang Le’s movie is his most watched movie so far. Of course, this is only in terms of the movie itself. If you count the others, it is probably the film that Zhang Le and Yang Xiner have personally experienced and adapted the most attention.

Naturally, it is impossible for there to be only two newcomers at the film launch conference, and the rest of the important role actors are still present. Just like Zhao Jin who just finished filming “Battle of the East China Sea”. And he is undoubtedly the most famous among actors.

Zhao Jin has a long history and is now arguably the most popular action actor in China. Moreover, his image of a soldier is still loved by many movie fans. In this film, as well as in the “Battle of the East China Sea” he just finished, he appears as a soldier, but it is quite different from the previous “Wolf Warrior”. The actions involved are almost all gunfights, without any fighting scenes.

After all, “Battle of the East China Sea” fights aliens, “Transformers” fights Autobots, unarmed combat is useless at all. But I have to admit that the scale and influence of these two films are not known how many times larger than the films he has starred in in the past.

Although “Transformers” is a supporting role, it is because of the attention the film itself has received and the director is Zhang Le. Even if it is a supporting role, I am afraid that it has attracted more attention than any movie that has appeared in the past. Moreover, this time it is an international level of concern. In addition, his role is still outstanding in the film.

The press conference is naturally indispensable for media reporters to ask questions, but what Zhang Le did not expect was that the reporter’s first question was actually about how he obtained military support.

“I heard that Director Zhang has received strong support from the military for shooting this film, and he can even shoot in a military base. I don’t know if it is true? It is said that Zhang Le has a strong military background. I don’t know if it is because Does this get strong support from the military?”

Zhang Le frowned. If the first sentence is okay, but the latter sentence is not half friendly.

“There should be a lot of movies and TV dramas supported by the military? Whether it is anti-Japanese war films or military films, almost all have received strong support from the military! Perhaps it is because there are few films on this aspect in the past that surprised everyone. The strong support from the military has nothing to do with the military background. If you invest billions to make a film, you need military support, I don’t think the military will reject it. The reason why this film has been strongly supported by the military The support is because of the film itself. Haven’t both “National Day” and “Wolf Warrior” produced by our company received military support? Many other film and television companies have also received military support?”

Those film and television works are obviously not completely supported by Zhang Le’s film, but the investment in this film is so high that it has a huge investment of several billion Chinese dollars, which is naturally different.

Of course, as everyone knows, this has nothing to do with investment. However, this topic is a bit sensitive, and journalists with general experience will not ask such questions. Although the topic is hot, but I am afraid that it will get hotter. China is not the United States. If you don’t understand the national conditions, sooner or later you will be eaten by the river crab god.

In Zhang Le’s answer, he mentioned the investment of billions of Chinese currency, which obviously shifted the attention of many reporters.

“Director Zhang, what is your preliminary estimate of the investment in this “Transformers”? How can you ensure that you get back the cost of such a high investment?” a reporter asked.

“The initial estimate is 350 million U.S. dollars.” Zhang Le smiled and said, “As for the cost of getting it back, I really haven’t thought about it. I have made so many movies with Zhang Le, and I really haven’t lost money. As the old saying goes, once a movie is made and fans like it, they won’t lose money.”
