After hearing this, Zhou Xun exclaimed: "Oh my god, Zhang Xiao, you are so proud, you even invited Mr. Huang!"

Zhang Xiao explained with a smile: "Mr. Huang has studied astronomy all his life. He also hopes to be able to intuitively create black holes and wormholes. We are in agreement. Okay, Sister Xun, please give me an accurate message."

Son, will you answer it or not?"

"Take it, I'll definitely take it!" Zhou Xun said with certainty: "I still hope that your movie will enter the international market."

"Okay!" Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Then I will send someone to the Magic City to sign a contract with you tomorrow."

After confirming Zhou Xunguo, Zhang Xiao quickly found other supporting actors. All of them are good actors with outstanding acting skills, including Duan Yihong, Zhang Yi, Deng Cao and others.

Zhang Xiao also asked Chen Daoming to help and invited teacher Li Xuejian to play the role of Zhang Xiao's father-in-law in the play.

After the cast was finalized, Zhang Xiao took the team abroad again, spent a lot of money to rent three hundred acres of cornfield, and built a two-story building next to the cornfield. This will be where Zhang Xiao and the actors in the movie will be.

The homes of his father-in-law, son, and daughter.

There is a scene in the movie where a cornfield is burned, and Zhang Xiao is preparing to shoot it.

It was relatively easy to set up other departments of the crew. As soon as everyone heard that it was a movie that Zhang Xiao was going to make, hundreds of people just sent in their resumes.

Zhang Xiao first determined the leaders of the art, photography, props, costumes, recording and other groups, and then let them personally select their own team members. In this way, in just one week, the crew was almost formed.

From the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month to the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Xiao did not go anywhere. He had been discussing the special effects images for "Across the Stars" with Mr. Huang Qiqian and the special effects team at Taishan Special Effects Company.

Zhang Xiao exchanged all the finished concept drawings of Director Nolan on Earth from the entertainment auxiliary system, which made Mr. Huang Qiqian feel like a treasure. After modification and artistic rendering, on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the concept drawings were finally

nailed it.

As for how far it can be achieved, it depends on the level of Taishan Special Effects Company.

"Hey, Zhang Xiao, "Operation Red Sea" will premiere on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. Our crew has to go around to promote it. How are your preparations going?" Lin Chao called Zhang Xiao and asked.

Zhang Xiao said helplessly: "No problem."

After finishing the concept drawing of "Interstellar", Zhang Xiao had to travel around the country with the crew of "Operation Red Sea", and also appeared in some entertainment variety shows during the period.

Zhang Xiao is the biggest star in the film, so the publicity work is naturally focused on him.

"Operation Red Sea" only has one trailer, which was released to fans on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month.

Scenes such as tank battles, JUNJ shooting, sniper battles, etc. were all edited by Lin Chao in the less than two-minute trailer. Compared with "Wolf Warrior 2", it is more passionate and intense, and the movie fans are hooked.

.

"I'll go, this is too hot!"

"There is actually a scene in "Operation Red Sea" where the secondary battery fires missiles. It's simply awesome."

"The product produced by Xiao Shen must be high-quality. On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, you must go and see it."

""Wolf Warrior 2" is a lone hero, and "Operation Red Sea" is a special force team fighting together. The latter is more realistic."

"Xiao Shen is so mighty, he will definitely be able to create greater glory again."

"Operation Red Sea, go ahead!"

“···”

The trailer of "Operation Red Sea" was unanimously recognized by movie fans. In just four days, the pre-sale box office reached a terrifying 450 million.

Normally, such a box office should win the championship in any time period, but the fact is that "Operation Red Sea Man" only ranked third among the twelve movies released during the Spring Festival.

The second place went to "Mermaid" directed by Hong Kong comedy king Zhou Xingxing. It won 460 million.

When this movie was on Earth, it had a box office of 3.3 billion and became the box office champion of domestic movies in the world. However, the score of this movie on a certain night was not high, only 6.7 points.

Many movie fans believe that "The Mermaid" achieved such a high box office not because of how good the movie is, but because it is Zhou Xingxing's movie and has a sense of comedy in it.

Anyway, no matter what it relies on, "Mermaid" is definitely the strongest competitor of "Operation Red Sea".

The unscrupulous media even launched a showdown between the new generation movie king Zhang Xiao and the veteran comedy king Zhou Xingxing.

"Operation Red Sea" was third, "Mermaid" was second, and the first place was the domestic science fiction blockbuster "Fortress".

This film was produced by Huayi Entertainment and took two years to produce at a cost of 360 million. It stars popular young actors Lu Han and Shu Qi.

Huayi Entertainment has been building momentum for this movie since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. The first-tier artists promoting this movie alone are over forty years old, not to mention second-tier and third-tier artists. The momentum is so huge, "

"Operation Red Sea" and "Mermaid" combined are not as good.

Some media even directly labeled "Fortress" as the second best among "The Wandering Planet", and its pre-sale box office reached a terrifying 630 million.

However, Zhang Xiao, as a person who traveled from the earth, can say that he still has fresh memories of "The Great Fortress".

After "The Wandering Earth" became popular across the country, movie fans thought it opened the door to domestic science fiction movies. After "The Fortress" was released, fans commented that it finally opened the door to "The Wandering Planet" and opened it again.

It was closed, and both word-of-mouth and box office took a hit.

After Zhang Xiao watched the trailer of "Fortress" online and saw Lu Han's discernment, he knew that there was no difference between this movie and "Shanghai Fortress" on earth, and it would definitely become a hit during the Spring Festival.

When being interviewed by the media again, a reporter asked Zhang Xiao about issues related to "Mermaid" and "Fortress".

"Mr. Zhang, some people regard "Operation Red Sea" and "Mermaid" as a duel between you and the veteran comedy king Zhou Xingxing. What do you think about this?"

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "First of all, "Operation Red Sea" is a military action film, and "Mermaid" is a Zhou comedy. The two cannot be considered under the same standards."

"Secondly, the director of "Operation Red Sea" is Director Lin Chao. I am just an actor in the movie. I don't know what you think about letting an actor and a director compete against each other?"

"Third, I really like Mr. Zhou Xingxing's comedy movies. I have watched almost every one of them. I sincerely hope that both our "Operation Red Sea" and director Zhou's "Mermaid" can achieve satisfactory results.

Box office performance and word-of-mouth performance."
