my movie years

Although the above-mentioned plan is in place, the process is long and Chinese-language films still need to cultivate their internal strength.

In fact, in terms of population market and scale, the Chinese film market has not yet reached its peak, and there is still great potential that can be developed.

But developing the market is also a long process. At present, "Earthquake" can only rely on the local market.

Fortunately, the local market is strong enough, allowing "The Earth Shakes and the Mountains Shake" to achieve good results.

The movie has been in theaters for two weeks and has grossed 36.87 billion at the box office. It has already recovered its capital and even made money through the box office.Professionals predict that the film is expected to reach a box office of more than 53 billion, or about US$7.5 million.

This result is enough to rank among the top ten at the global box office of the year.

What's even more amazing is that because Zhang Hao's movie was banned, his opposite movie was also banned, resulting in very few global hits this year.

The only few movies that have done well are basically related to Marvel movies. Movies such as "Black Panther 2", "Doctor Strange 2", and "Thor 4" all did okay at the box office.

But the box office is okay, and the reputation of these Marvel movies is average, especially "Black Panther 2", which has the right elements and is full of flaws.

The most important thing is that Nico was quite happy after watching this movie.As everyone knows, Disney is right on the surface, but actually judging from the content of the film, it is still discriminating against Nico.

However, Nico’s brain has never been very easy to use. If he could see it, there would be something wrong.

The only one that is not a Marvel movie is Paramount Pictures' "Top Gun 2: Mavericks," starring Tom Cruise.

The sequel after 36 years is still quite anticipated.

However, this movie also has no access to the Chinese-speaking market. Even if there is no ban, this movie will not be released.

Of course, there is no need to worry. James Cameron has been sharpening his sword for more than ten years and will finally bring his latest masterpiece "Avatar: The Path of Water" at the end of the year.

Unfortunately, while the film was being made, the distributor, [-]th Century Fox, passed away, so the distribution rights fell into the hands of Disney.

As a result, this movie is definitely not destined for the Chinese-speaking market.

It is said that James Cameron also had a big quarrel with Disney and strongly demanded a change of publisher to Warner Bros.The idea of ​​entering the Chinese-speaking market is quite tempting, and James Cameron is reluctant to give it up.

But the contract has been signed, and James Cameron has no right to change it.In this way, "Avatar: Water Path" lost the world's second largest market before it was released.

But it doesn't matter, as long as this movie is released, it can still achieve the results it deserves. The audience has been waiting for this movie for too long.

These things did not disturb Zhang Hao. After paying a little attention to the situation of "Earthquake and Mountain Shaking", Zhang Hao focused his energy on new projects.

In order to work on the new project, Zhang Hao and his team made a lot of preparations.

Filming on location was out of the question, so the team selected multiple locations across the country and started preparing now.

These scenes will restore the battlefield and simulate the situation back then.

To this end, Zhang Hao also specially invited military history experts to serve as consultants, and military consultants were stationed on the set.Unlike other crews, consultants are not decorations.

Directors actually didn’t listen to many of the suggestions put forward by so-called consultants.

But Zhang Hao respects the opinions of the consultants and decides on the filming method of the film based on their opinions.Of course, sometimes it is inevitable to sacrifice some authenticity for the sake of artistic expression.

But Zhang Hao's goal is to shoot a truly professional war movie based on benchmarks like "Saving Private Ryan."

Various domestic dramas have received a lot of criticism in the past two years because they are too distorted.

The most important thing is that many film and television dramas make both the enemy and us look too silly. This is not apotheosis, but an insult.

We were able to win 70 years ago because our ancestors were at the pinnacle of light infantry tactics. Faith, tactics, and soldier quality were all indispensable.

The swarm of charges in movies and TV dramas are definitely seeking death, and skirmishing tactics are very particular.Similarly, the settings of infantry pits, foxhole trenches, and air-raid shelters are all very particular and cannot be done casually.

Secondly, the sound of weapons and gunfire, the sparks and smoke generated by explosions, etc. are all points that need to be studied.

Don't underestimate these inconspicuous details, movies are all about details.If you get these things right, the experience will be greatly improved.

The last and most important thing is the plot.

Because it is a trilogy series, the movie is a panoramic display, presenting the entire story from a macro perspective.

This requires the screenwriter to do a good job. The script will be too general, there will be no story to tell, and the audience will find it boring to watch.

But it is not good for the script to focus too much on individuals. Although the story still revolves around a few main characters, it focuses on more than a few characters in a panoramic manner.

The screenwriting team who wrote the script for "The Earth Shakes and the Mountains Shake" together with Zhang Hao gathered again to start writing the script.

Zhang Hao paid attention to the details in all aspects, and even personally visited various military museums to find various weapons and equipment used at that time.

If you can find it, use what you find. If you can't find it, let the prop model be made and modified.

There happened to be a lot of decommissioned tanks and planes, and the relevant departments lent them to the crew for filming.

Zhang Hao also specially flew to North America and asked Warner and Universal Pictures to help him get some Sherman tanks, uniforms from the time, and various materials from that year.

Disney inquired about this situation and quickly reported to Fobole, saying that Zhang Hao was a spy and came to steal military secrets.

Warner quickly stood up and said that Zhang Hao was just looking for some old tanks and weapons, and these were not considered military secrets at all.

The two sides started arguing smoothly, but no one cared about Zhang Hao's purpose.

In addition to finding weapons, equipment and information, Zhang Hao also tricked more than 20 Hollywood actors into participating in new projects.

These actors were deeply affected by the Hollywood scandal and had little work to do. When this opportunity came up to earn some money, they all agreed.

Among them, the most important one is Matthew McConaughey, who will play the famous classmate McArthur.

After finishing these things, Zhang Hao returned to China and began to look for actors.

First of all, there are special actors who often appear in this type of movies, and all of them starred.It just so happened that Wu Jing was pulled over by Zhang Hao as soon as he finished filming "The Wandering Earth 2".

Then, another group of powerful actors gathered together, and all the original cast members of "The Earth Shakes" were inserted by Zhang Hao, even for a few guest scenes.

Zhang Hao's two god-sisters Yu Feihong and Xu Qing co-starred in the film, and International Chapter didn't even have to pay for it to join.

Zhang Hao saw that she was so interested, so he gave her a role.

According to the usual practice in this kind of film, it is indispensable for young people to come and watch it to see if they can star in it and increase their own capital.

Brother Zhan and Brother Jue both wanted to participate in the show, but Zhang Hao rejected them outright. Du Hua, the boss of their company, was so angry that he secretly cursed Zhang Hao for not giving him face.

After Yu Feihong heard about it, she sent someone to warn Du Hua and told Du Hua to shut up. She didn't want to hear it.

Du Hua was so angry that he didn't dare to cause trouble, so he had to shut up.

There are indeed young actors, such as Zhang Wanyi, Bai Yu, Jingting, and Haoran.Those who have good reputation among the traffic flowers also come to show their faces. As long as it does not affect the main plot and the crew, Zhang Hao does not mind being a favor.

But those who really hate them will never have the chance to appear in his movies.

Over time, after doing this several times, everyone knew Zhang Hao's preferences.The acting skills are passable, the reputation is okay, and the young traffickers who don't have so many troubles, Director Zhang will not refuse. (End of chapter)
