Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

"No problem!" Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Two days before the premiere, I will try my best to get you 15.00% to 20.00% of the film schedule. As for the follow-up, it depends on the box office and attendance of "Swordsman" .”

When Zhuo Fu heard this, he immediately picked up a glass of wine and said, "Mr. Zhang, I would like to toast you. Thank you for your willingness to help us."

Others raised their wine glasses at the same time.

Zhang Xiao and Zhuo Fu touched each other, drank the wine in the glass, and said: "Mr. Zhuo, if you have such a thing in the future, just come to me directly. I, Zhang Xiao, are not the kind of stingy person. Your films are better than ours, so you secretly do some shameless things."

"At home, we are competitors, but when we go abroad, we only have one name, Huaguo Domestic Films."

"When I defeated Universal back then, why didn't I want anything else but his theater chain? The purpose is not only for Sunny Entertainment, but more importantly, I don't want domestic films to be stuck by overseas theater chains."

"Even Chen Gang's "Battle of the Red Cliff", I was able to give him a film that far exceeded my own box office under pressure, let alone you Longda."

"Don't forget, I'm also a shareholder of Longda Cinemas."

Zhuo Fu smiled wryly and said: "Mr. Zhang, I judged the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. The current phenomenon is simply stupid!"

Zhang Xiaodao: "It's not too late to make amends. Come on, let's have it together. I wish both "God of War" and "Swordsman" can achieve a good reputation and box office overseas."

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves while drinking at one table.

After drinking and eating, Zhuo Fu sent Zhang Xiao out of the hotel with everyone.

When he was about to get into the car, Zhang Xiao suddenly stopped and turned around, and asked, "Mr. Zhuo, do you Longda have any plans to build overseas theaters?"

When he was on Earth, Longda spent huge sums of money to buy a theater chain in Europe, America and Australia, forming a global theater network, which has a great voice and influence in the world film industry.

The entertainment industry in this world is many times stronger than that on Earth, Zhang Xiao doesn't think that Longda will honestly occupy this one-third of an acre of land in China.

Zhuofu glanced at Gong Pan and the others, and everyone immediately understood, and retreated more than ten meters away, leaving enough room for the two of them to talk.

"Mr. Zhang, to be honest, Longda headquarters does plan to acquire overseas theater chains, but unfortunately these theater chains are firmly controlled by other big companies, and we have no chance at all." Zhuo Fu said softly.

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "The global entertainment industry is developing faster and faster, and there are more and more fans who like to watch movies. Naturally, the profits of theater chains will also increase, unless the shareholders behind If there is a financial crisis, no one will sell the shares of the cinema chain.”

"Since you can't buy it, why don't you Longda directly build a new theater? With your strength, there shouldn't be any problems?"

Zhuofu replied: "Actually, we have already applied to various countries, and it is estimated that there will be a reply within a month. Mr. Zhang, what do you mean by this matter, do you want to get involved?"

"Why not?" Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Judging from the current development of the entertainment industry, the layout of my three major theater chains is already a little behind. If I can have a new theater chain covering overseas, I am very happy." Willing to invest."

When Zhuo Fu heard it, he immediately said, "I can report to my uncle, Mr. Wang, and see what he means."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Then it will be troublesome, see you bye, Mr. Zhuo."

"Goodbye!" Zhuo Fu said.

The two shook hands, Zhang Xiao talked to Director Gong, Gu Yuege and the others before getting in the car and leaving.

Looking at the tail lights of the car that were slowly disappearing, Yifei said: "Shen Xiao is such a great person, I thought he was very serious at first, but I didn't expect such humor."

Gong Pandao: "Mr. Zhang is a person with a big picture. What he pretends in his heart is not a small sunny entertainment company, but the domestic films of the entire Huaguo. How fortunate that such a character can be produced in the Huaguo film industry. !"

Gu Yuege said quietly: "The height that brother Xiao stands at, I'm afraid I will never have the chance to reach it in my life."

···
The next day, the domestic fairy tale movie "God of War" was released overseas.

Zhang Xiao's judgment was very accurate. Although "God of War Xingtian" failed disastrously in the Spring Festival file, it only got a box office of 15 billion at most, but it very much agrees with the preferences of overseas movie fans.

On the first day, it won a box office of 1.1 million U.S. dollars, ranking second among movies released in Europe and America in the same period. Tens of thousands of fans gave it a freshness rating of 80.00% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Seeing this result, Yang Mi was overjoyed, and immediately launched a more intensive promotion, and the film schedule also improved a lot in response.

On the second day, the box office of "God of War" reached 1.47 million US dollars.

On the third day, the box office was 1.34 million US dollars.

On the fourth day, it directly reached 1.52 million US dollars.

Until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, "God of War Xingtian" has won a super box office of 11.28 billion US dollars overseas, and the freshness on Rotten Tomatoes has remained at 80.00%, which can be said to be a complete victory.

"Husband, the "God of War Xingtian" I invested in made a huge profit of nearly [-] million US dollars, how about it, my vision is not bad!" Yang Mi said triumphantly to Zhang Xiao after learning about this achievement.

Zhang Xiao cut it, and said: "I don't know who was depressed about the box office of this movie during the Chinese New Year, but now that the box office is good, they put on a face of a villain! "

"Hey, some people should be more careful."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes, and said angrily: "I am in a good mood today, and I don't know as much as you."

"My girl?" Hearing Yang Mi's self-proclaimed name, Zhang Xiao laughed, and said, "You can get it, you became a woman five years ago, how dare you call it a girl?"

Yang Mi said angrily: "Zhang Xiao, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

Zhang Xiao explained solemnly: "But I myself will be suffocated to death!"

After the two played around for a while, Zhang Xiao said: "Okay, I'm not kidding anymore, let me tell you something serious, I'm going to the Lighthouse Country in two days to do the preparatory work for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" .”

Yang Mi asked, "How long will it take?"

Zhang Xiao replied: "I have asked people to find a suitable filming location before. If everything goes well, it will probably be done in half a month."

Yang Mi asked: "That orangutan Caesar, who are you going to cast?"

Zhang Xiao replied with a smile: "I have already found this role two months ago, and it is Andy Serkis, the best motion capture actor in Hollywood."

In fact, the so-called dynamic capture actor is to install a capture device on the face or other parts to perform, and then the animator performs modeling, synthesis and other processing to achieve the desired effect of the director.

It sounds easy, but it is actually very difficult.

It requires actors to perfectly grasp the character's psychology, movements and expressions. In addition to expressing accurately, it is also far more realistic and vivid than ordinary characters. If something is wrong, it needs to be re-shot.

Yang Mi asked: "Who is he, and did he have any masterpieces before?"
