The next day, Zhang Xiao and Reba invited the crew of "Interstellar" to have a Western meal at the best Western restaurant in Los Angeles, and then sent them to the airport.

These people are all domestic first-line horse racing stars. They are usually very busy and don't really have much time to play in Los Angeles.

After sending everyone away, Zhang Xiao worked hard for two days in a row, finishing all the preparations for the crew, and the movie "Source Code" was officially launched.

As the great director who produced "Interstellar", Zhang Xiao's "Source Code" has long been noticed by entertainment reporters.

Originally, he just wanted to hold a casual launch conference, but after seeing more than a hundred reporters coming, Zhang Xiao had to change his original plan.

"Director Zhang, what type of movie is "Source Code"? Can you tell us something about this movie?" a reporter asked.

Zhang Xiao replied with a smile: "I can only tell you now that "Source Code" is a science fiction suspense film, and I have no other comments at the moment."

The reporter asked: "Director Zhang, what role does your sister-in-law, Miss Reba, play in the play?"

Zhang Xiao replied: "This time she plays a female officer who pities me."

The reporter asked: "Do you think Miss Reba is qualified for this role with her acting skills?"

"Of course!" Zhang Xiao continued: "She has the acting skills of our Golden Cup Award-winning actress. To play such a role, to be honest, she is overqualified."

The reporter asked: "How high do you think the box office of this "Source Code" will be, and can it be compared with "Interstellar"?"

"Of course not." Zhang Xiao said straightforwardly: ""Source Code" is an imaginative suspense story. It is different from hard-core science fiction movies like "Across the Stars". It belongs to the category of soft science fiction.

.”

"If I were to predict the box office now, as long as it reaches two billion US dollars, I would be satisfied."

After Zhang Xiao answered a few questions, a reporter asked Reba: "Ms. Reba, you have already starred in two science fiction blockbusters, "Inception" and "Interstellar" with Mr. Zhang. Are you going to star in a science fiction film again?

Are you worried about your character being stereotyped?"

"No!" Reba replied truthfully.

The reporter continued to ask: "We saw that you and Mr. Zhang spent more time together in the Lighthouse Country than Mr. Zhang and Miss Yang. Why is this?"

Hearing the reporter's question, Reba was stunned for a moment, and answered gracefully: "My sister is pregnant at home recently. Originally, this role should have been my sister's, but under special circumstances, my brother-in-law didn't let her come."

“···”

Regarding Reba's answer, Zhang Xiao smiled slightly, obviously very satisfied with her answer.

I have to admit that Reba’s performance does not seem to be much worse than Yang Mi’s when dealing with provocations from the outside world.

Seeing that Reba couldn't get anything out of here, the reporters targeted Anne Hathaway again.

"Ms. Hathaway, why did you accept this play?"

"Because the director is Mr. Zhang, and the script is also very exciting."

"What role did you play in the movie, and what is your relationship with Mr. Zhang?"

Hearing the reporter's question, Hathaway said apologetically: "Sorry, this question is a secret and cannot be disclosed. After the movie is released, everyone will be able to find the answer."

After all, Anne Hathaway has been working in the industry for 20 years. She is also a seasoned person and does not give reporters any opportunities to take advantage of her.

After asking for a long time, the reporters asked nothing.

After the launch conference, Zhang Xiao took the crew to the University of California.

Deputy Gu

There are two main shooting locations for "Source Code", one is a laboratory and the other is a train.

It took Chen Li a long time to get permission from the University of California to lend a laboratory to the crew for filming. The rental fee alone cost one million US dollars.

However, compared to the simple laboratory in the film on Earth, this place is much taller and more advanced.

Since the scene is fixed and does not require any changes, Zhang Xiao only needs to shoot scene by scene according to the sequence of the script.

The scenes in the laboratory are mainly about three people, one is Zhang Xiao, one is Reba, and the other is Love Harris.

For these three actors with online acting skills, the difficulty of the scenes was almost zero.

Zhang Xiao was a little worried about Reba before. After all, her acting skills are the weakest among the three, and she was worried that she would be under psychological pressure.

However, Reba told Zhang Xiao through his own performance that his worries were unnecessary.

He performed extremely well and basically made one pass.

Especially in the last scene, after Zhang Xiao learned the truth, he asked her to help him return to the world of source code. Reba's emotions such as guilt and intolerance were vividly expressed through her beautiful eyes.

Out.

After the performance, there was warm applause.

Anne Hathaway applauded and praised: "Miss Reba, you have a pair of eyes that can speak."

Ed Harris said: "As expected of someone who was taught by Director Zhang, his acting skills are very good."

Zhang Xiao was also very surprised by this. He walked up to Reba and said, "Reba, your performance really impressed me!"

Reba's face was full of pride and he said: "My eyes are pretty good, right?"

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "When you were playing Qingqiu Xiaojiu, those smart eyes had already returned."

"Come on, you will definitely become an Oscar-winning actress in the future."

"Then I would like to thank my brother-in-law for his blessing first." Reba thought that Zhang Xiao was encouraging him. After thanking him, he asked: "Is my play finished?"

"That's right!" Zhang Xiao nodded.

Reba said: "Then I will go back tomorrow. Brother-in-law, you'd better stay away from Hathaway when I'm not here, otherwise I will tell my sister."

It has been a week since the filming started, and Reba and Anne Hathaway, as the two heroines, have already had a good relationship.

When there was no drama in the evening, the two often went shopping together and even went to the bar to drink. Of course, Zhang Xiao acted as a bodyguard throughout the whole process.

But Zhang Xiao never expected that before leaving, Reba actually told him to be wary of Anne Hathaway, which was a bit dumbfounding.

"Reba, didn't you become best friends with her?" Zhang Xiao asked with a suspicious look on his face.

Reba said confidently: "These days, haven't you heard of fire prevention, theft prevention, and best friend protection? I have Shang Fang's sword in my hand, be careful of my sister beating your son."

"Okay, okay, you're cool." Zhang Xiao said helplessly: "I promise that except when filming on the set, I will never be alone with Hathaway in private."

"Well, that's pretty much it." Reba nodded.

In the evening, Zhang Xiao held a wedding banquet for Reba and Ed Harris, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Chapter completed!
