Chapter 474: Frozen, Huaguo Treasure

After finishing "Frozen", Zhang Xiao came to Baozi's animation studio again.

After "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" became popular all over the country, Baozi can be said to have gained both fame and fortune.

Now the size of his studio has more than doubled, and the working environment has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Many entertainment companies are paying attention to him, hoping to bring him under their wing. Even Yang Mi and Chen Ya have come to see Baozi.

But no matter how generous the conditions offered by those people were, Baozi refused.

He just wants to make animated movies that he likes, and doesn’t want to be controlled by others.

"Brother Xiao, long time no see." Seeing Zhang Xiao's arrival, Baozi greeted happily.

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Baozi, your studio is well run by you. Compared with before, there is a huge difference!"

Baozi touched the back of his head with some embarrassment and said: "This is all thanks to Brother Xiao. If you hadn't been willing to invest in "Nezha", we wouldn't be where we are today."

Zhang Xiao waved his hand and said: "This is your own ability, I just gave you a little push."

Baozi smiled bitterly and said, "But it was this little handful that saved the life of our studio."

"Brother Xiao, Mr. Yang and Mr. Chen came to my place before. They wanted to..."

Before Baozi could finish speaking, Zhang Xiao interrupted him and said, "Ignore them. We filmmakers should stick to our original aspirations. Only in this way can we make the best movies."

When Baozi heard this, he said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Xiao, for understanding."

After the two chatted for a while, Zhang Xiao got down to business.

"Baozi, what have you been busy with lately? Why do I see there aren't many people in your studio?"

Baozi said: "We just finished "Jiang Ziya" a week ago. Everyone was very tired, so I gave them a month's holiday to adjust."

"Brother Xiao, is there something wrong with you?"

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "In addition to making your own movies, do you also take on outside work?"

"Of course!" Baozi asked excitedly: "Brother Xiao, do you want to make an animated movie?"

Zhang Xiao snorted and said: "Yes, I want to make an animated movie called "Frozen"."

"This movie has very high visual requirements. I wonder if your studio can handle it?"

Baozi asked with some confusion: "Brother Xiao, aren't you a shareholder of Disney? Why didn't you ask them to do it?"

Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes angrily and said: "Disney belongs to Hollywood, not our country. I hope the prefix of "Frozen" is a domestic animated film."

"Not a Hollywood animated movie, got it?"

Baozi smiled and said: "I understand, I understand."

Zhang Xiao handed the script and storyboards to Baozi.

Baozi spent half an hour and watched almost a third of it. He smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Xiao, your "Frozen" is more difficult than our previous "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" and "Jiang Ziya"

It’s a lot!”

Zhang Xiao said undeniably: "The difficulty is indeed a bit high. So, let me first talk about the picture requirements for the entire movie. If you can do it, that would be the best. If it doesn't work, then I can only go to Disneyland.

"

After hearing this, Baozi's expression became serious, he picked up the paper and pen and said: "Brother Xiao, please tell me."

Next, Zhang Xiao explained his requirements for the style, graphics, and other aspects of this animated film to Baozi one by one.

After another half hour, Baozi put down his pen and muttered: "Brother Xiao, your standards are very high. They have reached or even exceeded the level of Disney animated movies."

"With the capabilities of our studio, there is no technical problem, but it will take at least two or even three years to complete."

Zhang Xiao frowned and said: "This time has taken too long. What other animation studios do we have in the industry?"

Gu Xun

"If we grab them too, can we shorten the time?"

"Of course!" Baozi said, "But if this is the case, the cost will increase a lot."

Zhang Xiao asked: "Approximately how much capital is needed?"

After Baozi pondered for a while, he stretched out a finger and said: "At least one billion."

Zhang Xiao said: "I have prepared 200 million US dollars for this animated film, which is completely enough."

"This "Frozen" is a gift from me to my daughter, and there must be no flaws in it."

Baozi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, it's great that little Xinxin has a father like you."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhang Xiao waved his hand and said, "I will leave the script with you. When everyone comes back from vacation, you can gather the relevant people in charge together, I will treat everyone to dinner, and we will have a good discussion."

Baozi nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."

After leaving Baozi Animation Studio, Zhang Xiao went home directly.

"Husband, the national TV station sent you an invitation letter, please read it!" Yang Mi took out an invitation letter and handed it to Zhang Xiaodao.

"Okay!" Zhang Xiao took the invitation and looked at it.

The national television station invited him to participate in a program introducing Chinese cultural heritage, called "The Treasures of China," and asked him to play the role of King Qin Yingzheng as the guardian of the national treasure.

Yang Mi looked into Zhang Xiao's eyes and asked, "Are you going?"

Zhang Xiao asked back: "What do you think?"

"Let's go!" Yang Mi thought for a moment and said, "This program is a cultural program. Didn't you say that we artists have the responsibility and clothing to promote Chinese culture?"

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Well, that makes sense."

Yang Mi smiled and said: "Of course, there is another reason, which is not to disappoint the fans."

Zhang Xiao asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Yang Mi explained: "I heard Reba say that after it was determined that this show needed an actor to play Ying Zheng, the fans unanimously recommended you."

"The Ying Zheng you played in "Hero" was regarded as a classic by movie fans, and they all hope to see you here."

Zhang Xiao asked suspiciously: "Is it true or false?"

Yang Mi took out her mobile phone, found the Weibo of the program team of "Treasures of China", handed it to Zhang Xiao, and said: "Watch it for yourself!"

Zhang Xiao took the phone and looked at it, "Hey guys, there is a voting channel and a list of actors for the role."

There are a total of eight actors who play Ying Zheng, and Zhang Xiao ranks first, with more than one million votes higher than the second place.

Many fans left messages behind.

"Playing Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, I don't recognize anyone except Xiao Shen."

"If Xiao Shen appears in "The Treasures of China", I will definitely mobilize my whole family and friends to watch it."

"No actor in the world can compare with Xiao Shen's Qin Shihuang."

"The Emperor Qing Shi Huang in "Hero" has been played brilliantly by Xiao Shen. I hope to see him here."

"Program team, please be more careful, be more diligent, and invite Xiao Shen out."
