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

Chapter 866 I am not Zhuge Liang, I have no ability to divide the world
However, Zhang Yimou boldly adopted the form of ink painting to shoot, which made the whole movie very beautiful and made up for the lack of plot to a large extent.

From the audience's point of view, the movie "Shadow" can be regarded as a good movie at best. If the total score is [-], it may get the atmosphere.

But in the eyes of industry insiders, especially the director, this movie is definitely above nine points.

This is why Zhang Yimou was able to win the Best Director Award at several film festivals with this movie in his previous life.

Zhang Xiao asked: "How far have they filmed now?"

Yang Mi said: "It's already the second half of the term. With your acting skills and kung fu, if you are willing to take this role, it will probably take less than half a month."

Zhang Xiao asked: "Where is the script? I'll read it first!"

Yang Mi was clearly prepared, and immediately took out the script of "Shadow" from the chair next to her, and handed it to Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao took it over, took a general look at it, and found that the plot of this script is not much different from the one in the previous life, but some minor changes have been made in the details. Generally speaking, it can be scored as a passing grade.

Zhang Xiao put down the script and said, "This plot is very ordinary."

Yang Mi curled her lips and said, "Then you mean you don't want to take this role anymore?"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "That's not true. I believe Director Zhang's level of directing is enough to make this movie look good. The key question is, none of my opponents seem to be martial arts actors?"

"Filming a martial arts scene with an actor who doesn't know kung fu is definitely a devastation for us!"

Yang Mi said: "You still have two martial arts scenes in total, one is to compete with Deng Cao on the bamboo raft on the lake, and the other is to teach Wu Xiaolei how to use swordsmanship. The two of them have practiced martial arts movements very well. .”

"After you pass by, what I worry about is not that they will hold you back, but that you will hold them back."

Zhang Xiao was directly amused by Yang Mi's words, pointed to his nose and said: "Just with my skills, you think I will drag the fuck back, what international joke are you playing with me?"

"Okay, these two days I will go to the crew to report and see how they are practicing."

Hearing what Zhang Xiao said, Yang Mi said happily: "That's great, thank you husband."

···
Zhangcheng Film and Television City.

Zhang Yimou sat in front of the monitor, frowning tightly, his face looked a little serious, the film "Shadow" was very close to finishing, but he still couldn't find the actor who vowed to Yang Cang's father.

During this period of time, he also auditioned many actors. These actors are all well-known acting schools in the circle. Don't talk about performing Yang Cang's arrogance that is as arrogant as nothing in the world.

In desperation, he had no choice but to find Yang Mi, hoping that she could persuade Zhang Xiao to take the role of Yang Cang. Well, if Zhang Xiao is willing to come and play the role, it is absolutely guaranteed.

Deng Cao, who was in the distance, saw Zhang Yimou's expression, and said to Sun Li next to her, "Honey, I bet, Director Zhang must be worrying about the role of Yang Cang again!"

Sun Li cast a glance at him and said, "You'd better take care of your own affairs."

Deng Cao said with a smile: "This is my business. You must know that Yang Cang and I had a very fierce duel scene. Naturally, I hope that the opponent can be very strong."

"Secretly, I heard from Director Zhang's assistant that Director Zhang called Yang Mi."

Sun Li was taken aback, and asked, "Why are you calling Yang Mi?"

As soon as the words fell, she suddenly thought of something, and said, "Could it be that Yang Mi persuaded Zhang Xiao to come and play this role?"

Deng Cao immediately gave her a thumbs up and said, "My wife, you are really smart, your guess is completely correct."

Sun Li pursed her lips and said, "Then you are miserable. If Xiao Shen came to fight with you, how long can your small body last?"

Deng Cao was speechless when she heard it, and said, "Don't talk about me, even the world boxing champion can't beat him for a round, okay?"

"Isn't this filming? If you really fight, then you will kill me, and I will not fight him."

Sun Li smiled and said, "Even if you still have a little self-knowledge, the key is whether Xiao Shen will come. Didn't the media say that he is making an animated film?"

Deng Cao said: "I think he is likely to come. Don't forget, now Yang Mi has his child in her stomach. If Yang Mi speaks, he will definitely listen."

Sun Li thought for a while and said, "It is indeed possible!"

At this moment, Zhang Yimou's assistant ran over with his cell phone and said, "Director Zhang, it's Mr. Zhang Xiao's call."

Zhang Yimou was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately took the phone, saying, "Zhang Xiao, I'm Zhang Yimou!"

Zhang Xiao complained: "My director Zhang, isn't he just playing a role, you can just tell me that it's over, why do you have to disturb my family's leader?"

Zhang Yimou laughed and said, "I'm afraid that you will refuse. Yang Mi is now your key protection target. Her words are worth at least a hundred of my words."

"Damn it!" Zhang Xiao yelled angrily, "Director Zhang, you are really good at it, my child was taken advantage of by you before it was born, you are a little too shrewd, right? "

Zhang Yimou said: "There is no other way. I am about to wrap up the movie now, but I still haven't found an actor that satisfies me. Zhang Xiao, you are the best in the world. It's absolutely admirable to play the role of Yang Cang." Act in your true colors."

"I'll ask you now, whether you will come or not, I will give you a confirmation letter."

Zhang Xiao smiled wryly, "I've already called you now, can I not go?"

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Yimou laughed loudly, and said, "That's great, I knew it was definitely right to find Yang Mi, when will you come over?"

Zhang Xiaodao: "My animated film has been produced, and now I have plenty of time, as you arrange."

Zhang Yimou said: "Then you come over tomorrow, and rehearse your movements with Deng Cao and Wu Xiaolei in advance. After three days, you can shoot your martial arts scenes, and try to finish them within a week."

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll be there tomorrow afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yimou had a long-lost smile on his face.

For a long time, Zhang Xiaoke has been the guarantee of the box office of the movie. If he is willing to play a role in "Shadow", at least he can add [-] to [-] million to the box office of this movie.

For Zhang Yimou, this is definitely a great thing.

Seeing Zhang Yimou's smiling expression, Deng Cao looked at Sun Li next to him and said, "It seems that Zhang Xiao is really coming!"

Sun Li said happily: "Great, Xiao Shen is my idol."

Deng Cao cut it, and said disdainfully: "You have too many idols, don't you? Since the two of us met now, you have changed no less than twenty idols."

Sun Li retorted: "None of your business!"

Deng Cao shrugged, and said, "Okay, okay, don't care about my business, I have to ask now if Zhang Xiao came to play the role of Yang Cang."

After finishing speaking, he walked up to Zhang Yimou and asked with a smile, "Director Zhang, why are you so happy about this?"

Zhang Yimou said: "Deng Cao, you came just in time. I was about to send someone to find you. Yang Cang's actor was found."

Deng Cao pretended to be surprised and asked, "Could it be Xiao Shen?"

Zhang Yimou nodded with a smile, and said, "The answer is correct, it is him."

Deng Cao immediately put on a bitter face, and said, "Score a martial arts scene with the world's number one master, Director Zhang, I'm a little flustered!"

Zhang Yimou laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, Li Liangjie once told me that actors like you who don't know kung fu are the most suitable for filming martial arts scenes with Zhang Xiao."

"Because his kung fu is really too high, and his control of strength has reached a superb level. It looks mighty on the surface, but when it hits you, it doesn't hurt at all."

"More importantly, you can use your power without worrying about hurting him."

Deng Cao smiled wryly and said, "The problem is that this time I used a knife!"

Zhang Yimou was taken aback, and said: "It seems to be the same, but let's talk about it when he comes over tomorrow!"

···
On the other side, Wu Xiaolei also quickly learned that Zhang Xiao was going to play the role of Yang Cang, and he immediately became extremely nervous.

Zhang Xiao is recognized as the No.1 movie in the world. His movies accounted for more than half of the top ten box office in the world.

Acting opposite such a person, not to mention Wu Xiaolei, even those old actors will feel a huge pressure.

Wu Xiaolei's agent, Yue Shanshan, said with a smile: "Xiao Lei, don't be nervous, Xiao Shen has a good temper, and the two of you don't have many scenes, but there are only a few tricks. The one who is really under pressure should be Deng Cao. .”

Wu Xiaolei said: "I'm mainly a little excited when I see my idol. Before I entered the entertainment industry, I never dreamed that I could play opposite Xiao Shen so soon."

Yue Shanshan said: "To be honest, I didn't expect that in the entertainment industry, getting Xiao Shen to play a role is almost as difficult as climbing the sky, because his requirements for the script are too high. I have to say, Zhang The director has a great face."

Wu Xiaolei said: "Maybe it's because Mr. Yang is the producer of this movie?"

Yue Shanshan nodded and said, "That's right, Xiaolei, work hard and try to make a good impression on Xiao Shen. If you can get his appreciation, then your development in this circle will be smoother in the future. gone."

Wu Xiaolei nodded and said, "Well, I will work hard."

···
The next afternoon, Zhang Xiao arrived at Zhangcheng Airport.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Zhang Xiao looked at the assistant director and asked, "Director Qiu, did the whole filming process of "Shadow" go smoothly?"

The assistant director nodded, and said: "Apart from Hu Jun's injury, there is basically no problem. These days, Director Zhang is very anxious. He auditioned a lot of actors, but none of them satisfied him."

"There is really no other way, so I invite you out of the mountain."

Zhang Xiao laughed and said: "Forget it, I'm not Zhuge Liang, I have three points in the world."

The car drove for about an hour and arrived at the film crew. As soon as he got out of the car, Zhang Xiao was surrounded by countless reporters.

The staff of the crew immediately rushed in to protect Zhang Xiao.

It turned out that the news of Zhang Xiao going to the filming crew of "Shadow" had already been known to the reporters, and KS and the others had been ambushing around the crew since the morning, waiting for Zhang Xiao's arrival.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask!"

"Xiao Shen, are you here to participate in the movie?"

Zhang Xiao nodded, and said: "That's right, I'm playing the role of a great general this time, Yang Cang, the world's number one master swordsman!"

"Is the role of Yang Cang the protagonist or a supporting role?"

"Is this very important? For us actors, the role has never been big or small."

"Xiao Shen, since you became a director, you have rarely acted in other director's films, why are you willing to play such a role this time?"

Of course, Zhang Xiao couldn't say that it was because the leaders of his family forced him to come, so he said with a smile: "I heard that Director Zhang is going to use an ink painting method to shoot this war power movie."

"I am very interested in this novel shooting style, so in addition to playing the role, I have a bigger purpose, which is to learn."

"Xiao Shen, I heard that you have been making an animated movie called "Zootopia" for your child who is about to be born. When will this movie be released?"

Zhang Xiao replied: "The production of this animation film has been completed, and the release time I initially determined is Christmas in foreign countries and Spring Festival in China."

"So what are your expectations for the box office of this animated film?"

Zhang Xiao replied with a smile: "I don't have any expectations, as long as it doesn't look too ugly, after all, this is made for my children. If the word of mouth and box office are not good, I will feel sorry for the children."

"Please don't be too ugly, what is the box office for this standard?"

Zhang Xiao thought for a while and replied: "20 billion US dollars!"

Hearing his answer, the scene was in an uproar.

"Fuck, is $20 billion not ugly?"

"My ears didn't hear me wrong, did I?"

"Isn't this number too scary?"

"The box office that is not ugly is 20 billion US dollars. I am afraid that only Xiao Shen in the world dares to say that."

"That's right, even those big international directors are afraid to say that."

"Except for Xiao Shen, if other directors dare to say this, they will definitely be scolded bloody."

"This is a typical Versailles. The key is that they really did it."

"···"

After dealing with the reporter, Zhang Xiao walked into the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in the crew.

At this time, Deng Cao and Sun Li were performing, and Zhang Yimou was sitting in front of the monitor with a serious expression, his eyes fixed on the screen.

Seeing that other actors wanted to come over to say hello to him, Zhang Xiao quickly shook his head.

On the set, the drama has always been bigger than the sky, Zhang Xiao doesn't want to disturb the director and actors because of himself.

"Crack!"

Zhang Yimou shouted, Deng Cao and Sun Li looked at him together.

After checking back and forth twice and confirming that there is no problem, Zhang Yimou finally showed a smile on his face and said, "This is over."

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly relaxed a lot.

At this moment, Zhang Xiao came over and said with a smile, "Director Zhang, I'll report to you!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yimou stood up, stretched out his hand to shake Zhang Xiao, and said happily, "That's great, Zhang Xiao, thank you for coming."

Zhang Xiaodao: "If you really thank me, you can dress me up a bit more handsomely, at least I have to surpass Brother Cao."

Deng Cao and Zhang Xiao are both old friends. Hearing this, they walked over and said, "I can't compare to you in acting, but in terms of appearance and temperament, I'm afraid you can't beat me!"

Zhang Xiao laughed and said: "Brother Cao, when you went out in the morning, did you look in the mirror, look at your current appearance, it seems that the difference between the word "handsome" and "handsome" is not one and a half, sister Li, do you think so?"

Sun Li nodded and said, "His face makes me want to vomit right now!"

"Pfft!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone at the scene couldn't help laughing.
