In preparation for the release of "The Wandering Planet", Guo Fan and Wu Jin participated in a variety show on Phoenix TV.

When the two talked about the difficulties they encountered during the filming of "The Wandering Planet", they were both very emotional.

The host asked: "Director Guo, when you promoted "The Wandering Planet" before its release, you often mentioned Zhang Xiao and said that without him, this movie would not exist. Why is this?"

Director Guo Fan said bluntly: "During the early stage of filming "The Wandering Planet", we faced the problem of investors withdrawing their funds. The funds were only enough for one week of filming. I was worried for a long time. Fortunately, Brother Jin invested 60 million and added

Mr. Zhang was pulled in, and the crisis was finally turned."

The host looked at Wu Jin again and asked: "Wu Jin, we really want to know how you successfully tricked Zhang Xiao into coming in?"

Wu Jin said with a smile: "It's not cheating, but relying on the script of "The Wandering Planet" and thousands of concept drawings. This guy Zhang Xiao has extremely high requirements for movie scripts. He has his own measurement standard, and he can't reach eight."

He won't accept it at all."

"After I sent these things, he came to the set the next day."

Hearing Wu Jin's answer, the host was stunned for a moment and asked: "Just after reading the script, Zhang Xiao invested a huge amount of money?"

"How could it be so simple?" Wu Jin said with a wry smile: "After the script passed the test, this guy still had to watch the crew. For three days, this guy was like a muffled voice, watching us filming without saying a word."

"It wasn't until we used Wire to shoot the space floating that he probably couldn't stand it anymore, so he stopped and told Guo Fan to discuss investment."

The host smiled and said: "Director Guo, were you particularly excited when you heard Zhang Xiao's words?"

Guo Fan shook his head and said: "My mood at that time could not be expressed in two words: excitement. I returned to the hotel and cried bitterly."

"After signing the contract, Mr. Zhang directly transferred more than 100 professional special effects technicians and countless professional special effects equipment from Hollywood, which immediately made us feel like we had shot a bullet instead of a gun."

"This must cost a lot of money!" the host sighed.

Guo Fan nodded and said: "Mr. Zhang doesn't seem to care about money at all. He only cares about whether the pictures he shot meet his requirements. Ever since he invested in our movie, the status of the crew has suddenly changed."

"That's right!" Wu Jin also echoed beside him: "Let's not talk about other things, let's just talk about food. After Zhang Xiao took over the crew, the first thing he did was to improve everyone's food treatment. The original ten-dollar box lunch was

It has been raised to thirty, with both meat and vegetables."

The host looked surprised and asked: "Are those extras like this too?"

"Of course!" Wu Jin nodded and smiled: "This guy is a martial artist, and he can be regarded as an extra. As long as it is a film he invests in, the extras not only eat well, drink well, but also get paid much higher than other crews.

few."

The host said: "In this case, wouldn't the cost of the movie be higher?"

"On the contrary, the cost has not only not increased, but has actually decreased." Wu Jin shook his head and explained: "Because the efficiency of the anti-counterfeiting work has doubled. In the words of an extra actor, working for such a crew will make me lazy even if I want to.

Excuse me."

Guo Fan, who was sitting next to him, nodded and said: "Wu Jin and I have calculated that compared with before, the completion time of "Wandering Planet" has been advanced by at least half a month. The remaining funds in this half month,

Much higher than that."

The host nodded and said: "It not only saves money, improves efficiency, but also gets everyone's gratitude. Zhang Xiao's approach really kills three birds with one stone!"

Wu Jin nodded and said: "I have to admit that my brother is indeed different. With his ability and magnanimity, I dare say that even if he does not join the entertainment industry, he will still be able to succeed in other fields."

The host said: "Well, when you were promoting "The Wandering Planet", I didn't seem to see Zhang Xiao. Can I ask what he did?"

"He is filming "Operation Red Sea". As long as this guy is filming on the set, he will usually not come out unless there is really no other way. It may be more difficult for him to ask for leave than to ask Xiao Xianrou not to ask for leave." Wu

Jin explained bluntly.

As soon as these words came out, the audience couldn't help bursting into laughter.

The host said: "Actually, in addition to the two people we invited to this program, we also invited one person."

"Who?" Wu Jin and Guo Fan looked at each other and asked at the same time.

"Me!~"

At this moment, a voice sounded, and everyone looked back and saw Zhang Xiao walking out of the backcourt with a smile.

"Wow, isn't this Xiao Shen?"

"The program team is so awesome, they even invited Xiao Shen here."

"As soon as Xiao Shen appeared, everyone in the world was convinced."

"Xiao Shen, Xiao Shen, I love you."

“···”

More than a hundred spectators at the scene could not help but stand up and burst into thunderous cheers and applause.

Zhang Xiao bowed to the audience, then shook hands with the host Lu Yu, smiled at Guo Fan and Wu Jin and said, "You didn't expect it, didn't you?"

"When did you come?" Wu Jin hugged Zhang Xiao while sniffing.

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "I came back at ten o'clock last night and lived opposite you."

"I'll go!" Wu Jin exclaimed directly, "Why don't you come to us?"

Zhang Xiao glanced at him directly and said, "I don't like chatting with drunkards."

When Wu Jin heard this, he was speechless.

"Pfft!"

"Hahaha!"

"Emotional Guo Fan and Wu Jin both drank too much last night!"

The audience at the scene laughed.

After everyone sat down, Lu Yu asked: "Mr. Zhang, have you ever thought that "The Wandering Planet" would achieve such a high box office?"

"Yes!" Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "My previous prediction of box office was about 1.5 billion US dollars, but now it seems that I am still a bit conservative."

"Why do you think this movie can exceed the box office of 1.5 billion US dollars?"

"The story is good, the special effects are great, and the crew is good. These three qualities can basically make a movie a box office hit."

"Director Guo and Wu Jin just said that you decided to invest in the filming after staying with the crew for three days. What moved you at that time?"

"Seriously. I saw that they were able to make movies meticulously under such extremely bad conditions. I think they can succeed."

"You invested US$200 million in this movie. Did you ever think you would lose money?"

"Movies are always about profit and loss. No one can guarantee that every one of their works will be successful. If it succeeds, it is naturally the best. If it fails, you can only consider yourself unlucky."
