Chapter 366: Start shooting, go to North Africa
Huang Jingyu looked at Du Jiang and said: "Brother Du, the box office is only 3 billion. Don't you think it's a bit insulting to Xiao Shen? I think our movie can break 5 billion."
Du Jiang was immediately happy and said: "You are really good at bragging, but with Xiao Shen joining us, it is not impossible to break five billion."
Everyone was having a heated discussion in the box, and they were all more confident in the movie "Operation Red Sea" after Zhang Xiao joined the cast.
At this moment, the box door was pushed open from the outside, and Lin Chao walked in accompanied by Zhang Xiao.
All the actors, including Hai Qing, stood up immediately when they saw Zhang Xiao arriving. Wang Tianyu was even more excited when he saw Zhang Xiao.
Lin Chao introduced: "Mr. Zhang, these are the main actors of our movie. Let me introduce them to you."
Zhang Xiao waved his hand and said, "No, I know all of these."
"Hello, Sister Haiqing, we meet again."
"Hello, long time no see."
"Is this my vice-captain Du Jiang?"
"Hello Xiao Shen, I am Du Jiang."
"This is the ace sniper in the film, Huang Jingyu, right?"
"Yes, yes, hello Xiao Shen."
"These two are machine gunners, Jiang Lulu and Wang Tianyu, right?"
"Yes yes yes!"
After Zhang Xiao greeted everyone one by one, he looked at Lin Chao with a smile and asked: "Haha, Director Lin, am I right?"
Lin Chao gave Zhang Xiao a thumbs up and praised: "That's right."
Wang Tianyu said to Zhang Xiao with excitement on his face: "Xiao Shen, I am your super fan, can I take a photo with you?"
Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Brother, in the next few months, we will have to crawl in the same trench. Do you think it is interesting to take a group photo?"
Wang Tianyu scratched the tip of his nose in embarrassment and whispered: "I just want to show off in the circle of friends."
When Lin Chao heard this, he laughed and scolded: "Okay, let's see how little attendance you have. Mr. Zhang, don't mind."
"No!" Zhang Xiao said: "Isn't it just for taking pictures? Come on!"
After saying that, he and Wang Tianyu took a group photo, and then took a group photo before they each took their seats.
Soon, all the food and drinks were served.
Lin Chao picked up the wine glass and said: "Come, let's toast Mr. Zhang together and welcome him to join our "Operation Red Sea" crew."
Zhang Xiao shook his head while holding the wine glass and said: "Director Lin, what you said is wrong. Since I have joined the crew, I am one of your soldiers. You use the title of Mr. Zhang and the word "Jing", right?
A little out of touch?"
"Hahaha!" Lin Chao laughed loudly after hearing this, and said quickly: "Yes, yes, this is my fault."
"In this way, before drinking, let's set a rule first!" Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "There is no big or small wine shop. It is fate that we can get together to drink. If anyone uses the title of sir or madam, then he will be fined.
One cup, what do you think?"
"Okay, no problem!"
“This is okay!”
"I approve with both hands."
Zhang Xiao's words immediately received responses from everyone present, and the atmosphere in the entire box instantly became lively.
With just one sentence, everyone who was still a little reluctant to let go immediately relaxed. Such a method made Director Lin Chao secretly admire him.
Soon, Zhang Xiao became mingled with everyone.
After having a good meal, Lin Chao and Hai Qing sent Zhang Xiao out of the hotel. Before getting in the car, Zhang Xiao said to Lin Chao: "Director Lin, I want to express my last statement to you."
"In "Operation Red Sea", I am an actor and you are the director. No matter what you say, I will act in any way. I will go all out to support your work. You can rest assured about this."
Lin Chao nodded with some emotion and said: "Okay, thank you."
Looking at the taillights of the car slowly leaving, Lin Chao let out a long sigh of relief and said, "No wonder people are able to thrive in the entertainment industry. They are really amazing!"
Hai Qing, who was standing next to him, said: "At his current position, he can still put down his arrogance and become brothers and brothers with us young actors. This kind of mentality is not something ordinary people can have. At least, I can't do it.
of."
Lin Chao laughed and said: "I was originally worried that this man would be difficult to serve, but now I am finally relieved."
···
Three days later, more than 200 crew members from the "Operation Red Sea" crew arrived in the North African country, which will be the main filming location for the film.
Obviously, Director Lin Chao had already said hello. On the day he arrived at the hotel, he took Zhang Xiao, Hai Qing, and Du Jiang to the local Royal Guard.
In this movie, three people will drive a Russian-made tank and two tanks made by the Lighthouse State in a battle.
Du Jiang had already learned to drive domestic tanks when he was in China, not to mention Zhang Xiao, who was already able to drift the tanks when filming Wolf Warrior.
It's just that there are some differences between domestic tanks and tanks from other countries, and the three of them must be familiar with its operation.
"Oh, clown, Truman, welcome to Morocco!"
The person who greeted the four people was the deputy captain of the Moroccan Royal Guard, who seemed to be a fan of Zhang Xiao. He seemed very excited when he saw him.
Zhang Xiao smiled and said hello to him.
At this time, Du Jiang said softly: "Brother Xiao is so famous that even the deputy captain of the Moroccan Royal Guard is his fan."
Hai Qing nodded deeply.
The first scene of "Operation Red Sea" involves a tank battle not far from the Sahara Desert, so after visiting the relevant leaders of the Royal Guards, Zhang Xiao and others learned the tank postures from several Royal Guards who participated in the filming
.
What surprised everyone was that in less than ten minutes, Zhang Xiao was able to skillfully drive a Russian-made tank to compete with the opponent in a tank competition.
When watching the two tanks rushing out like mad cows, director Lin Chao sighed: "If Zhang Xiao is a soldier, he will definitely not be worse than anyone else."
Relatively speaking, Du Jiang was much inferior. After two hours of familiarity, he was barely able to drive a tank.
The next day, the crew came to the Gobi Desert more than 60 kilometers away and began filming the tank battle scene.
Zhang Xiao put on the equipment of the captain of the Jiaolong commando team and walked out of the dressing room. His straight body, cold eyes and fierce momentum showed the demeanor of the captain of the Jiaolong commando team to the fullest.
Director Lin Chao praised with great satisfaction: "Zhang Xiao, you are so handsome in this outfit."
If Du Jiang and the others looked very much like soldiers when they put on combat uniforms, then Zhang Xiao looked like soldiers after putting them on.
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "When I was filming Wolf Warrior 2, I went to train in the military camp for a period of time."
"Well, I heard about it!" Director Lin Chao nodded and said, "You broke all the records in the Southeast Military Camp in a week, and later defeated hundreds of people. Now your name is still there."
