Reba nodded and continued: "Yes, sister, the cost of production and promotion of "Across the Stars" is too high, and the cost of "Source Code" is less than one-fifth of it."

"In addition, the box office is so good, so the profit is higher."

I have to say that Reba's abilities have been trained very, very well now, and he can handle these things on his own.

Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said: "I will keep 200 million US dollars of these profits for making movies, and leave the rest to your sister."

When Reba heard that Zhang Xiao was going to make a movie again, his eyes widened and he asked: "Brother-in-law, didn't you say you were going to take a break this year and stay with my sister and Xiao Xinxin at home? Why are you going to make a movie again?"

Zhang Xiao explained with a smile: "I want to make an animated movie for Xiao Xinxin. I have already thought of the name. It will be called "Frozen"."

When this animated film was on Earth, it was a very famous series of animated films produced by the Disney Company. It had a very good reputation and ranked first among the global animated films at the box office.

In today's world, "Frozen" doesn't exist at all, which just makes it easier for Zhang Xiao, the king of leaks.

When Yang Mi heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "Okay, okay, when little Xinxin grows up, she will be very happy to know that her father has made an animated movie specifically for her."

"Brother-in-law, you should have spent less than 200 million U.S. dollars on filming "Frozen"!" Reba said in disbelief.

Zhang Xiao explained with a wry smile: "If you want a 3D animated film to be beautiful and beautiful, you have to be willing to invest. Two hundred million US dollars is just a conservative figure, and you might have to add more later."

Yang Mi thought for a while and asked: "Are you planning to release it globally?"

"That's right." Zhang Xiao nodded and continued: "I want the whole world to know that "Frozen" is my gift to my daughter, making Xiao Xinxin the envy of children all over the world.

"

When Yang Mi heard this, she immediately beamed and said, "That's great, husband, have you released the script?"

Zhang Xiao raised his finger and pointed at his head, saying: "They are all here. I will start writing the script and drawing pictures tomorrow, and try to finish it within half a month."

···

The next day, Zhang Xiao came to the Red Cross Society of China and donated a check of 200 million in Zhang Ruixin's name to build a Hope Primary School and an orphanage.

The president of the Red Cross Society of China came out to receive him personally and expressed his gratitude to Zhang Xiao.

Soon, Zhang Xiao’s donation was announced on the official website of the Red Cross.

It immediately aroused admiration from netizens.

"I really donated 200 million. It's so generous."

"Is there anyone who can calculate how much money Xiao Shen has donated in total?"

"Almost four billion!"

"Xiao Shen is the star who really does charity!"

"If you are poor, you can be good for yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world. Xiao Shen has fulfilled this sentence."

"I just checked. As of today, Xiao Shen has built more than 2,800 primary schools, more than 1,300 orphanages, and more than 690 more are under construction."

"Oh my God, I absolutely love Xiao Shen."

"Strongly recommend Xiaoshen to open the donation channel, I want to donate."

"Donate the money to Xiao Shen, I will rest assured."

"Am I the only one who noticed that Xiao Shen's little princess is named Zhang Ruixin?"

"I noticed it too. It's a very nice name!"

“···”

That night, the news broadcast spent a full three minutes describing Zhang Xiao's charity. It not only showed him donating money, but also included many videos of the completion of hope primary schools and orphanages in remote areas.

The director of the Department of Culture personally issued a document calling on celebrities in the entertainment industry to obtain academic qualifications from Zhang Xiao and use their influence to do charity work.

For a time, Zhang Xiao's reputation reached an unprecedented height in China.

However, Zhang Xiao, who has always been very low-key, doesn't like this kind of thing.

As the saying goes, any tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

He did not set up a charity foundation, did not use his fame to raise donations from fans, and even asked for self-censorship. This has already made many celebrities who set up foundations feel uncomfortable.

Now the government has set him as a benchmark again, making him the target of public criticism.

Although Zhang Xiao is not afraid of them at all, there is no need to make everyone uncomfortable because of some false reputation.

Therefore, Zhang Xiao has kept a lower profile. Apart from spending time with his wife and children at home, there is almost no news about him from the outside world.

Of course, he has not been idle, writing the script and storyboards of "Frozen" every day.

In general live-action scripts, the most important thing is the story, and the requirements for split-shot scripts are not high, but animated movies are different.

Since everything in it is imagined by people, it tests the screenwriter's imagination and painting skills very much.

If the painting is not good, the special effects artists will not know what to do.

As a god-level director, Zhang Xiao naturally has very good painting skills.

He bought the script and storyboards of "Frozen" from the system, and just had to draw them out of his mind. It was purely physical labor.

But even so, it still took Zhang Xiao half a month to complete "Frozen".

"Honey, this is the "Frozen" script and storyboard I wrote for our little Xinxin. Take a look and give me something to mention!" Zhang Xiao handed the thick piece of paper to Yang Mi and said.

Yang Mi smiled and said: "The script written by our director Zhang Da must be very powerful. How can I give you advice?"

Zhang Xiao said: "This is our little Xinxin's exclusive animated movie. As a mother, you better be more serious."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take a good look, it's okay!"

After turning the first page, Yang Mi was immediately attracted by the two beautiful little girls on it.

"Wow, she's so beautiful!" Yang Mi couldn't help blurting out.

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "These are the two protagonists of the movie."

Yang Mi gave him a thumbs up and praised: "Husband, your painting skills have improved again!"

Zhang Xiao said: "These are compulsory courses for directors, and although I haven't painted for a long time, my foundation is still there. Don't just look at the pictures. The most important thing is the story."

"Okay, I get it."

···

Two hours later, Yang Mi, who finished reading the "Frozen" book in one sitting, let out a long breath.

"How is it?" Zhang Xiao asked quickly.

Yang Mi looked at Zhang Xiao with burning eyes and said: "Husband, you are really amazing. I think this animated movie will definitely be loved by children all over the world once it is released."

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "As long as you are satisfied!"

Yang Mi put her arms around Zhang Xiao's neck and said, "Husband, Xiao Xinxin is lucky to have such an excellent father like you."

Zhang Xiao glanced at Xiao Xinxin next to him, shook his head and said with a smile: "It should be said that we are lucky to have such a well-behaved and lovely daughter."

"Wow~~~"

As soon as he finished speaking, a clear and loud cry rang out.

Yang Mi smiled helplessly and said: "Yes, this little girl is really our blessing."
