Chapter 714 The Invitation of the Silence of the Lambs

Chen Daoming nodded, and said: "Director Zhang is right, in the movie "Zhu Xian", all our actors are just adding to the icing on the cake, and many of the special effects in this movie are his the key to success."

Zhou Xun rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Mr. Chen, don't talk about it. Who is the most handsome person in the first part of "Zhu Xian"? It's not Zhang Xiaofan from Director Zhang, but Daoxuan you played."

"That's right." Jiang Wen, who was next to him, echoed: "If this role can be played by me, even if it's for a fee, I'd be willing."

Chen Daoming chuckled, ignored their words, turned to look at Zhang Xiao, and asked, "When do you plan to release the second part of "Zhu Xian"?"

Zhang Xiao thought for a while and replied: "According to my plan, it is tentatively set for next year's summer vacation. I plan to spend half a month replaying the first part of "Zhu Xian" around the world, and then seamlessly connect "Zhu Xian" Part two."

After listening to Zhang Xiao's words, Chen Daoming was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Doesn't that mean that the first part of "Zhu Xian" will have a global box office of more than 55 billion US dollars in the future?"

"That's right." Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "Many movie fans who have finished watching the first part of "Zhu Xian" on the Internet, I believe there will be a large number of them want to go to the cinema to watch the 3D version, and watch it online. It’s so different from watching it in a movie theater.”

"Actually, my goal is not high. When it reruns, the box office can reach 5 million U.S. dollars."

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Zhou Xun gasped, and exclaimed: "That means the first part of "Zhu Xian" is likely to break through the global box office of 60 billion US dollars?"

Zhang Xiao smiled and replied: "It's not possible, it's necessary."

Jiang Wen said: "It seems that the rebroadcast of the film has never happened in the international film industry. Will the theater agree with your approach?"

Zhang Xiao said domineeringly: "If they agree, they have to agree, and if they don't agree, they have to agree. There is no way, but I am their shareholder, and I have the right to be willful."

"Okay, you're awesome!" Jiang Wen said a little speechlessly.

After breakfast, everyone went back to their rooms to pack their things and prepared to take the car to New York Airport.

However, as soon as they left the hotel gate, they were surrounded by a group of reporters.

"Mr. Zhang, your movie "Zhu Xian" has achieved a super high box office of 55 billion US dollars worldwide, breaking the record set by your previous movie "Interstellar". How is your mood now?"

"Of course I'm happy."

"But how can I see that your expression is a little calm?"

"Then what do you think I should be? Overjoyed, or excited? Don't be kidding. "Zhu Xian" broke the global box office record more than a month ago, so even if I want to be excited, I have already been excited."

"Mr. Zhang, the global box office of "Zhu Xian" has achieved great success, which has further stabilized your No.1 position in the film. Fans all over the world are saying that your success has surpassed that of Cameron and Spielberg. , Nolan and other world-class directors, what do you think of this?"

"The directors you just mentioned are both my predecessors and my friends. "Zhu Xian" can achieve such a good box office result, I also want to thank them for their long reviews!"

"I want to say that the box office of a movie is not the only criterion for measuring a movie, nor is it the only criterion for measuring the level of a director. There may be many directors with the same subject matter and the same script who shoot better than me."

"As for the No.1 movie that fans and netizens say, I really don't dare to be it."

"Sorry, that's all for today's interview. We have to leave as soon as possible, or we won't be able to catch the plane to Los Angeles."

···
With the help of the hotel security, Zhang Xiao and his party quickly passed through the crowd of reporters and got into the nanny's car.

An hour later, the convoy arrived at New York Airport.

After passing the security check, Zhang Jiao suddenly received a call from Spielberg.

"Zhang, are you coming to Los Angeles?"

"Director Spielberg, I have to admit that your news is really well-informed. I will arrive at Los Angeles Airport at 6:[-] pm today. What's the matter?"

"Zhang, I'm currently filming a movie called "The Silence of the Lambs". It's been half a month since I started filming, but I didn't expect the actor who will play the leading actor Hannibal at this juncture. Mr. Hopkins because of Sudden heart attack and hospitalization can't join the group, I wonder if you have a schedule? I would like to ask you to play the male lead of this play."

After Zhang Xiao heard Director Spielberg's words, his eyes lit up.

For the horror movie "The Silence of the Lambs", Zhang Xiao can be said to be very popular. When he was on earth, he was filmed by Jonas Demi in 1991. The reputation was very good. At that time, the box office worldwide reached With a total gross of 2.7 million US dollars, it is a well-deserved leader among similar films.

The actor Hopkins won the Oscar for Best Actor in 92 for his role as Hannibal. At the same time, "The Silence of the Lambs" also won the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actress Four awards for the best adapted screenplay, which can be regarded as infinite scenery at the time.

It's just that he didn't expect that in this world, the director of "The Silence of the Lambs" turned into Spielberg, which aroused Zhang Xiao's strong interest.

He'd love to see it.How different will The Silence of the Lambs, as shot by the legendary director, be from the original here on Earth?

So Zhang Xiao said to the other end of the phone: "Director Spielberg, can I read the script first?"

Director Spielberg on the other end of the phone was very excited after hearing Zhang Xiao's words, and said, "Of course, I will send you the script right away."

After hanging up the phone, Liang Jiahui, who was sitting next to Zhang Xiao, asked curiously, "Did Director Spielberg invite you to act in the movie just now?"

Zhang Xiao nodded, and replied: "Yes, his hero suddenly suffered a heart attack, so he wanted me to rescue him."

At this time, Chen Daoming said: "The drama is bigger than the sky, you just go, we are here for "Actor's Cultivation", don't worry, there will be no problems."

"Don't worry." Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "First of all, I have to look at the script and characters. I will agree to shoot only after I meet my standards."

"The second is based on my current acting skills. There should be no roles that I can't handle. Even if I accept this drama, it will not affect my hosting work in the show."

Chen Daoming said: "But I heard that Director Spielberg is very strict in the management of the crew. He may not agree to you running in both directions."

A mysterious smile appeared on Zhang Xiu's face, and he said lightly: "I will have a good discussion with him about this matter, if he insists on not wanting, then I will not act."

"Are you crazy?" Zhou Xun exclaimed, "What a great opportunity, why don't you act?"

Zhang Xiao said very seriously: "For me, compared with so many young actors in Huaguo, these young actors are of course more important to a movie. Although I can change the host to host this show, and It won't have much impact on the program itself, but I still hope that I can start well and end well, and do my part for Huaguo Films."
