Chapter 387: Preparations Begin, Invite Zhou Xun
When Lin Chao heard the questions and answers from Zhang Xiao and Liu Haiquan, he seemed a little confused and confused.
Air defense suits, black holes, wormholes, five-dimensional space-time, astrophysicists...
What am I going to do?
While the two of them paused briefly, Lin Chao asked: "Zhang Xiao, are you planning to shoot a large-scale science fiction movie?"
"Yes!" Zhang Xiao nodded, and there was no need to hide anything, and said: "Didn't everyone say that "The Wandering Planet" opened the door to domestic science fiction movies?"
"I want to use "Interstellar" to level this door so that it can never be closed."
After hearing Zhang Xiao's ambition, Lin Chao gave a thumbs up and said with admiration: "I admire you, you are going to do something big!"
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Director Lin, the biggest problem with our Chinese films is that the format is too small. I want to use facts to prove to the world that it is definitely not an accident that "The Wandering Earth" was made."
After Lin Chao thought about it for a moment, he looked at Zhang Xiao and said, "Zhang Xiao, have your crew been assembled?"
"No~" Zhang Xiao shook his head and said: "We haven't found all the actors yet."
Lin Chao was overjoyed. He raised his finger and pointed at his nose and asked, "How about I be your assistant director?"
His words made Zhang Xiao completely stunned for a moment. He came over for a while and then said: "Director Lin, are you kidding me?"
Lin Chao shook his head seriously and said: "I'm not joking. If conditions permit, I will also make a science fiction film in the future. This time I join your crew, I just want to study seriously and see how shooting science fiction films is.
What is the difference between ordinary films and to accumulate experience for my own science fiction films?"
Zhang Xiao looked at Lin Chao's eyes seriously, and after three seconds, he said: "Director Lin, are you serious?"
Lin Chao nodded heavily and said: "Very, very serious."
Zhang Xiao stretched out his hand and said: "Okay, on behalf of the crew of "Interstellar", I welcome you to join us."
Lin Chao held Zhang Xiao's hand and said happily: "Thank you!"
After leaving the special effects company on stage, Zhang Xiao began to identify actors.
There are three most important actors in this "Interstellar", one is the male protagonist played by Zhang Xiao, one is the female protagonist played by Reba, and the other is the male protagonist's daughter.
The role of the daughter is very crucial, even more important than Reba's heroine.
Although she and Zhang Xiao have no real scenes opposite each other, her expression of the love between father and daughter must be extremely strong, and her acting skills must be at least at the level of a movie queen.
Who to look for?
Zhang Xiao thought about all the queen-level actresses in his mind, and finally called Zhou Xun, who he had worked with before.
Originally, the most suitable person was Zhang Ziyi. In addition to her superb acting skills, she also had a certain reputation internationally. However, in the battle between herself and Chen Gang, she quietly stood on the opposite side of Zhang Xiao.
Especially at the critical moment of the confrontation between "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Feng Hua", Zhang Ziyi did not make two calls to Zhang Xiao and directly attended the premiere of "Feng Hua".
Although Zhang Xiao didn't say anything, he still felt very uncomfortable.
"Interstellar" is a science fiction movie that will be released around the world. Once it becomes a hit at the box office, the actors in it will definitely become popular.
With such great benefits, Zhang Xiao naturally had to choose his own friends.
"Sister Xun, what are you filming?"
"You think everyone is the same as you. There are endless filming appointments. Your sister and I haven't been filming for half a year. The family is so poor that it's almost impossible to get rid of the blame, and you don't come to help."
"Is it true?"
"Of course it's true. Alas, the current film market is really unfriendly to us middle-aged actresses."
"How about I introduce you to a movie?"
"Are you serious or are you kidding?"
"How could I possibly joke with you about something like this? There will be a domestic science fiction movie to be shot in March or April next year, and I think the heroine in it is very suitable for you."
"You can throw it away. Since the popularity of "The Wandering Planet", there have been eight or not ten film crews who approached me to make domestic science fiction films. But after I read the script, it was so eye-catching that I rejected them all.
I offended a lot of people."
"Zhang Xiao, please tell the truth. Did someone come to you to intercede with me? I will shoot such a bad movie even if I am begging for food."
Hearing Zhou Xun's words, Zhang Xiao was immediately happy and said: "Sister Xun, it seems that there are no movies for you, it's just that your vision is too high. Don't worry, I won't introduce bad movies to you. This movie
The investment is estimated to be over 300 million U.S. dollars, and the director is even more amazing, even teacher Chen Daoming is participating."
Zhou Xun on the other end of the phone asked curiously: "Who is the director? Are you the leading actor?"
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Both the director and the male lead are here."
Zhou Xun was speechless and said angrily: "Well, Zhang Xiao, now you are making fun of your sister and me!"
"How dare you, it's true!" Zhang Xiao explained with a wry smile: "I'm going to shoot our own domestic science fiction movie called "Interstellar", and I'd like you to play the heroine in the movie."
Zhou Xun asked: "Is this going to be released globally again?"
The previous global release of "The Wandering Planet" was basically due to Zhang Xiao, which Zhou Xun has known for a long time.
"That's right!" Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "I want to use this film to hit the global box office rankings. Sister Xun, you don't need to rush to answer me. I'll send you the script first to read."
Zhou Xundao: "Okay, hurry up, I can't wait any longer."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiao sent the script to Zhou Xun. It took two days before Zhou Xun called him back.
"Oh my God, did you really write this script?" Zhou Xun on the other end of the phone was already so excited that he was a little incoherent and said, "It's great. I read it several times and I still can't understand it."
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Sister Xun, what I want you to read is the plot, not the astronomical knowledge!"
"The plot is very good!" Zhou Xun said very excitedly: "Originally, I thought the first half was a bit long-winded, but I didn't expect that it all connected in the end. Now I really want to know how long your brain is.
of."
Zhang Xiao smiled and did not answer, but asked: "Then what score would you give this script?"
week
, The perfect creation of special effects such as wormholes and five-dimensional space depends on your level as a director."
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Don't worry, starting from next week, Mr. Huang Qiqian, the most famous astronomer and astrophysicist of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, will lead a team to my Taishan Special Effects Company to help the crew with the special effects."
