Chapter 327: The Wandering Planet, Director Guo's Sad Face

When they returned from their trip, Zhang Xiao received a call from Wu Jin as soon as they got home.

"Zhang Xiao, help!" Wu Jin said anxiously on the other end of the phone.

Zhang Fan rolled his eyes and said bluntly: "Brother Jin, don't do this. I'd like to state in advance that I'm very tired recently. Before the release of "The Truman Show", I plan to take a good rest and not take any more roles."

Wu Jindao: "You are now an international superstar, and your salary has almost reached 20 million US dollars. I would only ask you to film a movie because I am out of my mind!"

Zhang Xiao was stunned when he heard this, and I was curious: "Then why are you looking for me?"

"Invest in movies!" Wu Jin said frankly: "Brother, I am starring in a science fiction movie called "The Wandering Planet". The script is very good and the crew is also very powerful."

"However, I encountered financial problems just after I started the phone, so I thought of you. How about it, buddy, treat you well. When I make money, I will be the first to think of you."

"Wandering planet?" Zhang Xiao's heart moved when he heard this.

If it is the same as the movie "The Wandering Earth" on Earth, then Wu Jin is really right. This movie is indeed very profitable. It has sold billions on Earth and ranks third in the box office rankings.

In "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World".

Zhang Xiao said calmly: "Domestic science fiction film? Brother Jin, why does it sound like a trap to me?"

Wu Jin quickly defended: "Zhang Xiao, this is your fault. Our military action movie "Wolf Warrior 2" was also a new theme, but what was the final result?"

"Also, no one was optimistic about your animated movie "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" before. You were the only one with a unique vision, and you made a lot of money as a result. Now it's better, your reputation is getting bigger and bolder.

Why are you getting smaller and smaller?"

Zhang Xiao said angrily: "Don't use provoking methods on me. If you want me to invest, you can use the script to convince me!"

"Hahaha!" Wu Jin laughed and continued: "That's what I've been waiting for. I'll send you the script right away. I guarantee that after you read it, you will obediently give me the money!"

"I hope so!"

Soon, Wu Jin sent over the script of "The Wandering Planet". In addition, there were more than 3,000 concept design drawings.

Zhang Xiao briefly flipped through the script. The content was similar to "The Wandering Earth" on Earth, and then he picked up the design concept drawing and started reading it.

I have to say that these pictures are very beautifully done. It is obvious that the director spent a lot of energy and time to complete them, and you can tell at a glance that they are native to China.

Even if it's not as good as the concept drawings of big Hollywood directors, it's not far behind.

It's just that the movies on Earth don't seem to show them. Otherwise, the level of excitement will definitely be improved to another level.

You can get the whole picture at a glance. Director Guo is really awesome!

As long as I provide him with enough funds to make this special effect perfect, and then find someone to translate it into a foreign language version and bring the movie to the world, will there be a miracle?

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but hesitate.

At this time, Yang Mi brought a glass of water to Zhang Xiao. Seeing that he was a little stunned, she asked: "Husband, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Xiao came to his senses, took the glass of water, and said: "It's a domestic science fiction movie. I'm thinking about whether it can be released globally!"

"What kind of movie do you think so highly of?" Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, then asked.

Zhang Xiao raised his finger and pointed at the computer and said, "Take a look!"

Yang Mi sat in front of the computer and started reading.

"Wow, these concept designs are so beautiful!" Yang Mi exclaimed.

Zhang Xiao took a sip of water and said: "The script is also good. As long as the special effects are great, I think it won't lose to those Hollywood science fiction films."

Yang Mi nodded and asked with bright eyes: "Husband, do you want to use this domestic science fiction film to hit the global box office?"

"We have this plan, but we are still considering it!" Zhang Xiao nodded.

Yang Mi asked curiously: "Do you have a distribution channel?"

"Of course!" Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "I can go find Disney!"

Yang Mi asked in surprise: "I didn't ask carefully last time. I'm very curious, what is your relationship with Disney? Why do they release movies for you?"

Zhang Xiao explained proudly: "Comrade Yang Mi, let me introduce myself to you formally. The person standing in front of you is not only your husband, but also the second largest shareholder behind Disney."

"Really~~~really?" Yang Mi asked in disbelief.

Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "If it's fake, it will be replaced!"

"Tch!" Yang Mi rolled her eyes and said, "If I believe you, you are a fool."

Before, Zhang Xiao was just a substitute for Hengdian, and he was very poor. Later, the two got together. Although Zhang Xiao did well, he only made more than a billion US dollars at best.

But Disney has just exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars. Even if Yang Mi is beaten to death, she will not believe that Zhang Xiao is a shareholder of Disney.

Zhang Xiao sighed and said: "Hey, what's going on in this world? Why doesn't anyone believe the truth?"

"The key is that your words are so out of line!" Yang Mi said with a smile.

Zhang Xiao shrugged and said, "Forget it if you don't believe it. Let's get down to business. What do you think of this science fiction film?"

Yang Mi thought for a while and said: "The special effects, as long as the special effects are good, I think this movie will definitely be a hit."

Zhang Xiao snapped his fingers and said, "Well, you judged the same as I did."

···

At the same time, at the Jade Bird Oriental Film and Television Base.

Guo Fan, the director of "The Wandering Planet", was drinking with Wu Jin and Wu Mengda.

Guo Fan is quite unlucky these days. He bought the script adaptation rights for "The Wandering Planet" three years ago and spent a lot of effort to come up with a satisfactory script.

Since the movie requires a lot of special effects, the filming funds became a problem. I begged grandpa and sued grandma, and finally got 300 million. In the end, less than ten days after the shooting started, the production representatives of Yida Film Company and Magic City Surprise Culture Company

I suddenly came to the filming location and asked to withdraw my investment.

This suddenly made the already insufficient production expenses even worse. The huge pressure caused director Guo Fan to have insomnia all night and his hair turned a lot gray.

Fortunately, brother Wu Jin agreed to invest 60 million, which somewhat solved his urgent need. Otherwise, he would not even have the money for this week's filming.

"Brother Jin, do you think Mr. Zhang will agree to invest?" Guo Fan asked with a sad face.

Wu Jin said helplessly: "Brother, you have asked me this ten times."

Guo Fan sighed and said, "Aren't I worried that the movie will be shut down?"
