Chapter 244: The wind is over, Batman world premiere
Zhang Xiao shrugged and said, "Don't you think this is good?"
"Aren't you so mad that you are so angry?" Yang Mi exclaimed, raising her hand to touch Zhang Xiao's forehead.
Zhang Xiao took her hand away and explained with a smile: "The first version of the trailer is out, which means that "The Dark Knight" is about to enter the promotion period."
"At that time, I, the anti-hero, will have to follow the crew everywhere. But if I leave, what will happen to the filming of "The Wind"?"
"This is a big problem!" Yang Mi nodded after hearing this.
Zhang Xiao smiled mysteriously and said: "But now this problem has been solved. Since people don't regard me as the anti-hero, why should I go to promote this movie?"
"But, if this is true, you will have violated the contract, right?" Yang Mi said worriedly.
Zhang Xiao shook his head and said: "My silly wife, they have violated the contract by doing this. If they sue me, I will also sue them. In the end, no one will get an advantage."
The smart Reba, after careful calculation, said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, judging from the current shooting progress, we should have finished filming "The Dark Knight" by the time it is released."
Zhang Xiao smiled and stretched when he heard this, and said: "So we don't care about anything and let them make trouble on their own!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiao's cell phone rang.
I picked it up and saw that it was Director Chris's phone number.
"Director Chris, are you okay?" Zhang Xiao asked expressionlessly.
Director Chris's apologetic voice came from the other end of the phone: "Zhang, I believe you should have seen the trailer. I'm sorry, I didn't expect Warner to play such a trick."
"They wanted to cut some of your scenes before, and I made it clear that I refused, but they settled for the next best thing and asked for the editing rights for the promotional video. I'm sorry, but I really can't stop it."
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I don't care about these things. The most important thing for an actor is not publicity, but performance. After the film is released, I believe that the role of the Joker will definitely surprise movie fans around the world."
"Zhang, thank you for your understanding. After this movie, I do not plan to cooperate with Warner on the third "Batman" again!" Director Chris said.
Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said: "This is yours, Director Chris. I'm directing a movie. I'm afraid I don't have time to follow the crew to promote it."
Director Chris was not surprised by Zhang Xiao's statement and said: "This is what Warner means. They have also excluded you in their publicity."
"Hahahahaha!" Zhang Xiao laughed twice and said: "Just what I wanted!"
After the two chatted for a while, they hung up the phone.
Regarding Warner's approach, Zhang Xiao just asked Chen Li, the temporary manager from Lighthouse Country, to express strong dissatisfaction to the other party without taking any substantive action.
However, Zhang Xiao's fans couldn't bear it anymore, and they all went online to defend Zhang Xiao.
"Xiao Shen is obviously the anti-number one, but he only flashed by in the promotional video. It's simply too much."
"This must be Warner's fault!"
"Xiao Shen and Warner had a fight, which cost them tens of billions. Warner gave Xiao Shen some shoes. This is also normal."
"Why don't we all start playing "Batman: The Dark Knight" together!"
"Upstairs, are you stupid? Xiao Shen invested in this movie."
"Yes, Xiao Shen has promised to donate all the profits from this movie to charity. If we boycott it, wouldn't we be betraying Xiao Shen's good intentions?"
"Then what should we do? We can't let Warner bully Xiao Shen!"
“···”
Seeing that movie fans were fighting for his injustice, Zhang Xiao was very moved and quickly posted a Weibo post on his Weibo.
"Thanks to my brothers and sisters for their care and love for me. "The Dark Knight" is a very good movie that combines the hard work of director Chris and the entire crew."
"I also think that the clown is the best role I have played so far. I hope everyone can support me."
"As for Warner not giving me personal promotion, my attitude is that it doesn't matter. "The Wind" will be completed in another month, and I don't have time to promote "The Dark Knight". The current arrangement is just right.
It suits me."
"In addition, I would like to explain again that I have entrusted all the profits from "The Dark Knight" to the financial department of the Chinese Red Cross Society. They will conduct the most stringent review of the movie's box office to ensure all profits from the movie.
All goes to charity.”
As soon as Zhang Xiao's Weibo post was posted, it immediately received responses from movie fans.
"I'm still wondering, with how strong Xiao Shen is, how could he show weakness to Warner? There's no time for feelings!"
"Xiao Shen is the director of "The Wind". Once he leaves, the entire crew will be shut down. We really don't have much time!"
"Xiao Shen said that clown is the best role he has ever played. Is it better than Chen Yongren in "Infernal Affairs"?"
"Looking forward to Xiao Shen's performance in "The Dark Knight" and "The Wind", the first movie directed by Xiao Shen!"
"Donating the box office directly to the Red Cross without going through it myself, Xiao Shen is so generous!"
"This is an artist who truly does charity. It's a pity that Xiao Shen doesn't have a Chen Li Charity Foundation. Otherwise, I would definitely donate."
“···”
With Zhang Xiao's intervention, the storm over "The Dark Knight" quickly subsided.
A month later, "The Wind" was successfully completed, and coincidentally, "The Dark Knight" also had its world premiere on the same day.
Zhang Xiao held a closing banquet for the crew of "The Wind", and then led the entire crew of more than 200 people into the cinema in a mighty manner.
Yang Mi has already booked three movie theaters here and invites the entire crew to watch "The Dark Knight."
At midnight, the premiere officially begins.
As soon as the movie starts, there is a scene of seven gangsters wearing clown masks robbing a bank.
Using his superb wisdom and human weakness, Zhang Xiao easily killed all his "companions" and stole the money in the bank.
The moment he took off his mask, Zhang Xiao's ferocious face, his baseless expression and his cold and ruthless eyes made everyone present take a breath.
I have to say that the clown's appearance this time was quite perfect.
We were watching the movie together. Yang Mi, who was sitting next to Zhang Xiao, tugged on the corner of Zhang Xiao’s clothes and whispered: “Husband, you’re dressed up too scary!”
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "It's just a movie, don't take it seriously."
Next, every time the clown appears, he has his own aura, and all the characters seem to set off his terror.
Chapter completed!
