Superstar Couple

   Chapter One Hundred and Nine Sit and Watch Him Lose Money

  Since Li Jie went to Hollywood to develop, he has not returned to China to film for several years. This time, Zhang Le's new film naturally caused a great sensation.

  Of course, Li Jie has not worked in China for several years. In addition to his own focus on Hollywood, there is another important reason. Undoubtedly, his salary is too high, the box office pressure is too high, and the risk is too high.

  There are too few movies with large domestic investment. And Li Jie's salary is as high as tens of millions of dollars, which is more than 60 million yuan, which is almost enough to invest in two good movies. There are too few people willing to take that risk. Unless, you are sure to let the film be released internationally. After all, Li Jie still has international box office appeal.

  The cast of Zhang Le’s new film is undoubtedly strong. In addition to Li Jie, there are two golden dragon queens, Yang Liu and Yang Xin'er. Among the film's main creators, there are also famous filmmakers such as Ye Ming and Bao Zhen.

  Zhang Le is undoubtedly coming to a big production this time. This is unexpected.

  Although Zhang Le’s first two films have a very high box office, they are both low-cost films. In the eyes of everyone, Zhang Le is a director who is good at getting bigger and bigger. But this time, he came to this big production at once, which suddenly made people feel a little uncomfortable.

  Inviting Li Jiejue to perform, the big production is beyond doubt. But Zhang Le can manage this kind of big production, everyone is skeptical. After all, his investment in the two previous films and even the promotion costs are not as much as Li Jie's film remuneration.

  And what is even more incredible is that Zhang Le’s new film is actually a martial arts film. He gave up the comedy that he was good at. Isn't this the rhythm of death?

  The martial arts movie is almost dead, and it is no longer the pomp of the year. The downturn is already a minefield. Yueyang's martial arts film has a good reputation, but fortunately, the investment is small, and it barely escaped the fate of losing money and making yells.

  Like Zhang Le, countless people are ready to sit and watch his new film and lose money.

  Zhang Le has two consecutive small-cost movies selling at the box office. I don’t know how many people are jealous. There are so many people who want to see him stumble at the box office.

   was badly sung, and Zhang Le has become accustomed to it. When "Crazy Stone" was filmed, there was almost a bad voice. Although there are many bad voices this time, there are still countless fans looking forward to it.

  Through the accumulation of two films, Zhang Le still has a certain box office appeal as a director.

  After more than three months of preparation, in mid-July, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was launched, and Zhang Le selected the launch conference at the foot of Wudang Mountain.

   Zhang Le’s film is very loud, but it is still very attractive. Countless media flocked to the launch conference.

  Zhang Le and Yang Xiner are the focus of media pursuit. And Li Jie returned to China to film after many years. For this, whether it means that he will return to China for development, countless people are paying attention. But after Yang Liu came back after marriage, he chose this film. Was it because of Zhang Le, or because of Li Jie, or because of Yang Xin'er?

  Whether it is the media or the public, there are too many doubts that need to be answered. Of course, they are also full of doubts about Zhang Le shooting such a film!

At the press conference, Zhang Le smiled and said to the off-stage media reporters: "Thank you very much for coming to the media friends. I announce that the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" press conference is now starting. If you have any questions, we will answer as much as possible. Of course, the premise is that your question is related to this film. For example, if you ask me and Xin'er when I got married, this kind of question has nothing to do with this film, so I forgive us for not answering."

   "When did you get married, everyone on earth will know."

  As soon as Zhang Le's words fell, many media reporters below laughed, and one of them laughed loudly.

  Zhang Le smiled and looked at Yang Xin'er, but Yang Xin'er rolled her eyes, pretending that she didn't recognize him.

"Mr. Li Jie, this time you took the play directed by Zhang Le, does it mean that you are not developing smoothly in Hollywood and are ready to go back to China?" A reporter asked Li Jie, and the words were unceremonious. .

"I have developed in Hollywood in the past few years. It should be pretty good, right?" Li Jie smiled and said, "I took this play because the script of this play touched me, and I also have a great deal with Director Zhang. Interest. It’s not like you can’t mix in Hollywood as you said, and I only took this movie when I came back. In order to pick up this movie, I pushed a major Hollywood production."

  In order to pick up this drama, a major Hollywood production was rejected?

  Everyone was a little unbelievable. However, it is impossible for Li Jie to take this matter and put gold on his face. He has always been like this, what he says is what he says, and there is no need and no need to lie.

   Although everyone couldn't believe it, they didn't doubt it.

  It just made everyone wonder, why did Zhang Le’s film make Li Jie give up the big Hollywood production?

  I knew this before Zhang Le. For this reason, Yang Xin'er also said that the favor was too bad. However, Zhang Le just smiled at this. Perhaps, I don’t know who is owed.

  Of course, the salary offered by Li Jie is indeed a friendly price, and there is no lack of humane flavor in it. And this favor is tens of millions in Chinese currency.

   "Does Director Zhang have anything to say about this?" a reporter looked at Zhang Le and asked.

   "Naturally, I am very grateful for Jie's support. I can't repay it, but I have to make this film to prove Jie's choice is right." Zhang Le said.

  Zhang Le said politely, but the self-confidence in his words was beyond words. Did not choose Hollywood blockbusters, but chose his film, or choose the right. Zhang Le seems a bit arrogant if he is overconfident.

  But looking at Zhang Le's expression at this moment, no one has such a feeling in life. It seems that compared with that Hollywood blockbuster, his film really excels.

"Excuse me, Director Zhang, for what purpose did you invite Mr. Li Jie to appear in your new film? Know that Mr. Li Jie's pay is enough for you to shoot more than a dozen "Crazy Stones"! With such a large investment, you are not afraid of losing money. "A reporter asked Zhang Le.

  One piece of "Crazy Stone" has a profit of nearly 200 million, how many ten pieces will it be? That is definitely a horror is the number. Of course, the account is not calculated like that, but it also expressed a well-known meaning, that is, Zhang Le invited Li Jieju to perform, and some of the gains outweigh the gains.

"Brother Jie was invited to play, because Jie is the best candidate for the movie's protagonist Li Mubai." Zhang Le smiled and said, "As for you to say that you will lose money if you invest too much, then you are a bit worried. Let's not talk about Jie. Where is the box office appeal of brother and sister Liu? Even Xin'er and I can still attract a lot of fans. Besides, I am still very confident in my own film. Zhang Le is not only good at playing a small cost. I can do the same for big movies!"

   "Ms. Yang Liu, are you attracted to this film because you read the script?" a reporter asked Yang Liu.

"I didn't read the script and agreed." Yang Liu smiled and said, "Director Zhang told me that he was going to make a martial arts movie, and I was a little moved. I have seen "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", the martial arts in it. The design is great. And when I heard that I would play against Jie Ge and Xin Er, I agreed without hesitation."
