Chapter 448: Why buy shares in Disney
After a while, Jin Xing came over and said to Zhang Xiao: "Zhang Xiao, you are acting like a rogue, let's be more serious!"
"If nothing goes wrong with "Interstellar", it will break the world record today. Do you feel like you are drifting off?"
"No!" Zhang Xiao shook his head and said: "I weigh 230, and even a Category 12 typhoon may not be able to move me, let alone such a small achievement."
Hearing this, Jin Xing looked at Zhang Xiao in surprise and said, "You weigh two hundred and thirty pounds?"
Zhang Xiao said: "Doesn't it look different?"
"That's right!" Jin Xing nodded and said, "You look a little thin, giving the impression that you are 160 at most."
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Because I practice martial arts all year round, the density of my blood, muscles, and bones are much higher than that of ordinary people, so my weight is heavier than it looks."
Jin Xing still couldn't believe it and said: "Wait a minute, let's test it. I don't believe it."
"The second question, which is a little bit more exciting, is if "Interstellar" can get a box office result of 3.5 billion US dollars, how much profit can you get from it?"
Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said: "It's about 700 to 800 million. I still haven't figured out how to calculate the profit on this thing."
Jin Xing continued to ask: "How will you use this money?"
"I don't know." Zhang Xiao said bluntly: "You have to ask Yang Mi how much money she will leave for me first."
Jin Xing was immediately happy when he heard this and said: "Your status in the family is too low, isn't it? You still have to be stripped of your hard-earned money by Yang Mi?"
Zhang Xiao explained: "How can we say it is just one layer of skin? There are several layers!"
"Hahaha!" the audience laughed.
Zhang Xiao continued: "Actually, I am only interested in movies. I usually stay close to home. I have no place to spend the money I make."
"Mimi is a workaholic and likes to mess with money, so I always give the money to her and let her spend it on her own. As for me, I only need to keep the money needed for the next movie."
Jin Xing nodded and said: "Well, your division of labor is really clear. Mimi said last time that you have never even been to Qingtian Entertainment. Is this true?"
Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said: "I seem to have been there once when the company opened and cut the ribbon."
Jin Xing asked again: "Qingtian Entertainment moved to a new office building last year, did you know?"
"Really?" Zhang Xiao said with surprise on his face: "Mimi didn't notify me about this!"
Jin Xingdao: "Even if she tells you, you may not remember it in your heart. Now I finally understand why you can send so many good movies."
"Four words, no distractions!"
"No, no, no, no!" Zhang Xiao quickly waved his hand and denied: "I'm just not interested in these things. It doesn't mean I don't understand. Otherwise, how could I become a shareholder of Disney?"
Jin Xing continued: "You said in a variety show that after becoming a shareholder of Disney, you didn't seem to have even attended a board meeting, or even been to the headquarters of Disney Studios."
"If you're not interested, why would you buy shares of Disney?"
Zhang Xiao explained with a smile: "First, I am very optimistic about Disney's development prospects. Second, my movies need to use Disney's promotion and distribution channels."
"Of course, now there is an additional third party, that is, I hope to help excellent domestic films go global."
Jin Xing showed admiration on his face and continued to ask: "So you became the second largest shareholder of Warner Cinemas a few days ago?"
"Yes!" Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "With these two theaters, my movies can truly be unimpeded."
Jin Xing asked: "Then what are your plans next?"
Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said: "I plan to make a suspense movie that I have never done before before the child speaks out."
"It will be broadcast during the summer vacation. After the child is born, I may take a longer break."
"Aren't you going to make blockbusters anymore?" Jin Xing asked in surprise.
Zhang Xiao said: "Making a blockbuster movie like "Interstellar" is really tiring. It takes at least a year from the beginning of the project to the release. It's a bit unbearable."
"Speaking of which, I still feel comfortable being an actor. After I finish acting, nothing will happen to me."
Jin Xing asked: "Can you tell a little bit about the situation of this suspenseful movie?"
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "The only three words I can say now are 'source code'. Apart from these three words, everything else is still in my mind and has not yet been formed."
"Source Code" is a sci-fi suspense film that is a very classic on earth. It mainly tells the story of a soldier who was lost in the war. The soldier and scientists used special instruments to repeatedly 'travel' to a soldier who was killed by a train.
The story of finding the murderer in the body of the person killed in the bombing.
On Earth, the movie "Source Code" has a very good reputation. It scored 8.6 points on a certain website, and its freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes reached 90%.
And its cost is not high. In addition to actors, it only requires a laboratory and a train. The special effects only need to create the effect of a train explosion. It is estimated that it can be completed in three months at most.
Therefore, it is very consistent with Zhang Xiao’s requirement to get it done before the child is born.
After filming "Interstellar", Zhang Xiao has already put it on the filming schedule.
Jin Xingdao: "Looking forward to the release of "Source Code"."
···
After the two finished chatting about the movie, Jin Xing changed the topic to charity.
"There are many celebrities who do charity in the entertainment industry, but there are very few celebrities who do it to your level. I heard that after your child is born, you will donate 200 million in the name of your child. This is true.
Fake?"
"Really!" Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "I am a relatively traditional person and believe that good people will be rewarded. I hope that this child will have fewer disasters and grow up healthily in the future, so I hugged this way to pray for him.
"
Jin Xingdao: "What I admire most about you is that you have never accepted money from fans. Why is this? Why don't you use your influence to expand your charity?"
Zhang Xiao thought for a while and explained: "First, I don't have that much energy to manage. If I set up a charity foundation, it would require a lot of people."
"I can promise not to get a penny more, but I can't guarantee that no one under my command will enrich themselves."
"Second, I'm worried that my fans will donate money to me regardless of the consequences because of my initiative. I've seen in the news that many young people would rather not eat in order to hold a support party for their idols.
I also have to buy gifts for my idols, and they are all very expensive."
