Chapter 717 Director Spielberg's Shock
Spielberg nodded and said, "Yes, I am both a director and a producer."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "I never thought you would go on this path, okay, I agree with 20.00% of the box office share. Besides, after the release, I can also arrange the highest award for "The Silence of the Lambs". Arranging the film is my support for you."

When Spielberg heard it, he immediately said happily: "That's really great, but the premise is that you must satisfy me with your Han."

Zhang Xiao smiled, and said: "Whether you can participate in this movie or not, I will arrange the highest schedule for you, this is my promise."

Spielberg said gratefully: "Zhang, thank you, I believe "The Silence of the Lambs" will not let you down."

At this moment, he suddenly understood why director Nolan had been full of praise for him after working with Zhang Xiao, and the two even became very good friends.

Not to mention anything else, just Zhang Xiao's frankness and generosity are not something ordinary people can have. Anyone who can become friends with such a person will be very happy.

Next, the two talked a lot about shooting topics around the script of "The Silence of the Lambs". Zhang Xiao even put forward a lot of suggestions from the director's point of view. After listening to Spielberg, there was a kind of enlightenment a feeling of.

Although Zhang Xiao had achieved great success at the movie box office before, Spielberg did not think that he would be worse than Zhang Xiao, and even felt that the reason why the other party was able to achieve such a good box office result was mainly because he captured the hearts of movie fans. In my heart, its artistic level is not very high.

However, after the chat and discussion just now, Spielberg discovered that no matter what he said, Zhang Xiao could understand it, and in many cases he was able to extend his topic and provide some very Good supplement suggestion.

And these suggestions were not thought of by Spielberg before, which gave him a new understanding of Zhang Xiao's director ability.

What Spielberg didn't know was that Zhang Xiao possessed SSS-level director skills, and Spielberg himself was only at the peak of S-level. The gap between the two was still very large.

Half an hour later, the vehicle parked in the parking lot of a hotel not far from the suburbs.

Spielberg said: "Zhang, I'm really sorry, the environment of this hotel is not very good, but because it is a little closer to the set, I chose this place, please help me take care of it."

"It doesn't matter!" Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "As an actor, I have been exposed to all kinds of difficult conditions, and this place is already very good."

After entering the hotel, Spielberg asked someone to check in Zhang Xiao, and then led him to a restaurant where seven or eight actors from the crew of "The Silence of the Lambs" sat.

When they saw Spielberg and Zhang Xiao walking in, they stood up one after another, all looking at Zhang Xiao, a messy movie tycoon.

Spielberg introduced everyone to Zhang Xiao, and Zhang Xiao did not put on airs, shaking hands and greeting everyone one by one.

When it was the turn of the heroine Helena, Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Miss Helena, whether I can join the crew tomorrow or not, I still need your help!"

"You know, I'm a celebrity artist anyway. If I'm kicked out by Director Spielberg because of my unqualified acting skills, then my face will be thrown at my grandma's house."

Helena was amused by Zhang Xiao's words, and said: "Mr. Zhang, you are really too modest, I am your super fan, all your movies, including those of Huaguo, I am very fond of. After watching it carefully, I can say that you are the most attractive actor I have ever seen, bar none."

"Hahaha!" Zhang Xiao laughed when he heard the words, and said to Spielberg: "Being confessed by a beautiful woman on the spot made me blush."

"Pfft!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere in the whole restaurant became much more relaxed.

There was no way, the pressure Zhang Xiao brought to everyone was too great, even the veteran movie star Yasie Bourne couldn't help being a little nervous, let alone a young actor like Helena.

The moment he walked into the restaurant, Zhang Xiao also felt that the atmosphere was a bit dignified, so he told a joke, adjusted it, and now it seems that the effect is still very good.

Spielberg glanced at Zhang Xiao appreciatively, and said with a smile, "Sorry, I really didn't see where your face turned red!"

Zhang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "That can only mean that you should get a pair of glasses."

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed again.

During the meal, Zhang Xiao quickly became acquainted with everyone.

"Mimi, I picked up a movie, and I might not be able to go back the day after tomorrow." Zhang Xiao returned to the room, after calculating the time difference, it should be the hotel in Yuzhou now, so he called Yang Mi and said Down.

Yang Mi said in surprise: "What kind of movie is it? It's so awesome that it can invite you all over."

Zhang Xiao explained: "In "The Silence of the Lambs" directed by Spielberg, there is a character that attracted me."

"Oh!" Yang Mi snorted and asked, "Then how long do you need to shoot over there?"

If Zhang Xiao could cooperate with director Spielberg in the past, then Mi Yang might be very excited, but now the best director is her bedside person, and Mi Yang can't get excited even if she wants to.

Zhang Xiaodao: "There are not many roles for this role, I guess it can be done in half a month at most."

Yang Mi was taken aback when she heard the words, and said, "Are you playing a supporting role?"

Zhang Xiaodao: "A small role in a role does not necessarily mean a supporting role. In terms of importance, this role can definitely be regarded as a leading role. Maybe it can even win next year's Oscar!"

"How much is the salary?" Yang Mi asked again.

Hearing this question, Gu Chenfeng was a little speechless, and replied: "Director Spielberg said that he will give me 20.00% of the box office proceeds."

"Only 20.00%? If the movie isn't popular and the box office isn't good, then you didn't do it for nothing?" Yang Mi said speechlessly.

Zhang Xiao knew Yang Mi's guessing riddles very well, so he didn't say much. Anyway, it took a long time to explain Yang Mi's side.

···
The next day, Zhang Xiao came to the set.

This is a real prison in the outskirts of the Los Angeles Police Department. It has been built and implemented for many years, and it just meets the needs of filming.

Spielberg looked at Zhang Xiao, and asked curiously, "Zhang, have you shaved?"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Hannibal is a gentleman, and his appearance must be clean and tidy. My beard looked a bit sloppy, so I shaved it off and took a bath by the way."

"Very good!" Spielberg nodded, and said, "However, your face is still too young, and you have to ask a makeup artist to perform a major operation on you, and you have to move your hair a little bit. It’s better to make it thinner, after all, a high-level intellectual doesn’t have such thick hair as you.”

"You don't mind this, do you?"

Zhang Xiao nodded, and said, "Of course, I'm not a star who relies on my face to make a living."
