Chapter 498: Accepting an Interview with (Movie Character)

Photos of Zhang Xiao inviting the "Chill" crew to have dinner at home were quickly posted online.

Netizens started making noises one after another.

"Mimi, your husband is trying to seduce the enemy, hurry up and take care of it!"

"Aren't you competing for the box office? Why are you having dinner together?"

"Xiao Shen is so broad-minded that he directly invited the "Chill" crew to dinner."

"Xiao Shen, Brother Hui, and Hua Tsai are all close friends. When they arrive in Yuzhou, Xiao Shen will definitely want to join the friendship of the landlords."

"Xiao Shen's "Frozen" is so good at the box office, Andy and Fai will definitely not miss the opportunity to kill him."

“···”

Time flies so fast, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The four movies "Frozen", "Chill", "No Evil" and "Zodiac" were released almost at the same time.

Among them, "Chill" had the best box office performance, earning 2.268 billion.

"The Righteous" followed closely with a box office of 1.738 billion, and "Zodiac" ranked third with a box office of 1.489 billion.

The most impressive one is of course Zhang Xiao's "Frozen", which grossed a terrifying 4.357 billion domestically and a global box office of 2.365 billion U.S. dollars, ranking ninth in the global movie box office rankings.

So far, Zhang Xiao has four films in the top ten and eight films in the top 20.

The National Film Channel made a special program for Zhang Xiao to introduce his achievements from his debut to the present.

In the studio, the host interviewed Zhang Xiao.

"Mr. Zhang, first of all, congratulations on your first animated film "Frozen", which has achieved a global box office of 2.365 billion US dollars." The host looked at the young and somewhat excessive Oscar winner in front of him and said with a smile.

Zhang Xiao expressed his thanks: "Thank you, I really like that you added the quantifier 'Part 1' in front of 'Frozen'."

The host asked: "So, you will continue to make animated films?"

"Of course." Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "I filmed this "Frozen" for my newborn daughter. When I have my second child, I will film my second animated film."

The host asked: "Is it "Frozen 2"?"

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Yes!"

"I am so happy to be your daughter, Mr. Zhang. Before filming "Frozen," did you ever think that its box office would be so high?"

"My box office goal for "Frozen" is two billion dollars."

"Why do you have so much confidence?"

""Frozen" is a combination of China's most cutting-edge animation special effects teams, with the sweat and hard work of more than 5,000 special effects artists. Even Disney's CEO Herman gave a thumbs up to the picture effect. I

I really can’t find a reason for failure.”

The host continued: "Mr. Zhang, you are a shareholder of Disney. Do you want to leave China and go to Hollywood to develop?"

Zhang Xiao was immediately happy and said: "You have already said that I am a shareholder of Disney. How can I develop in Hollywood? Annex the six major entertainment companies?"

The host burst out laughing and said, "Sorry, my question is indeed a bit stupid."

Zhang Xiao said: "I just made a little joke. Actually, I understand what you mean. Hollywood has always been the most desirable place for filmmakers in the world. For us actors, we can get better development there and even have the opportunity to become

An international superstar."

"But, in fact, this possibility is very slim."

Gu Fu

The host asked curiously: "Why?"

Zhang Xiao explained: "Hollywood is not a paradise. The competition there is more intense than in China. Good resources have long been divided up by major companies. It is very difficult for Chinese actors to go there and grab a suitable role.

.”

"Otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a big commotion when I was filming the clown."

The host said: "Mr. Zhang, judging from the Hollywood movies you have shot, your resources are very good."

Zhang Xiao shook his head and said: "I was able to get the role of the Joker only by relying on our Chinese movie fans; the two "Fast and Furious" films were thanks to the recommendations of Directors Ang Lee and James Wan;"

"'The Truman Show', 'Inception', and 'Source Code' are all movies I invested in and shot myself."

"As for "The Wandering Planet," "Interstellar" and "Frozen" have all been screened around the world, they are not Hollywood films."

"You can imagine, if I were an ordinary Chinese actor, would these movies still be my turn?"

"What's more, more than 90% of the movies produced by Hollywood are bad. If you want to accurately find popular movies, in addition to strength, luck is sometimes more important."

After listening, the host nodded and said: "You are right, the attraction of Hollywood is indeed very strong, but if you want to become an international superstar, the effort required by an actor is probably more than ten times greater than at home."

"That's right!" Zhang Xiao nodded and continued: "Chinese filmmakers should not rush to Hollywood before they are fully prepared, otherwise it will affect their careers."

The host said: "Thank you Mr. Zhang for the reminder. We all know that in addition to being an excellent filmmaker, Mr. Zhang is also a philanthropist."

"We have contacted the Red Cross. You have donated 4.2 billion through various channels over the years and built more than 3,000 hope primary schools and more than 1,000 orphanages."

“I want to know what drives you to do this charity work?”

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "If you are poor, you can be good for yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world."

"In private, I am a very traditional person who believes that good people will be rewarded. In public, I am a somewhat famous Chinese filmmaker, and every move I make will attract attention from the outside world."

"I have the responsibility to promote correct values ​​to everyone and set a fairly good example."

The host said with admiration: "It would be great if every filmmaker could have your awareness. Mr. Zhang, what are your plans next?"

Zhang Xiao said unequivocally: "Of course I will continue to make movies."

The host asked: "Is it a Hollywood movie or a domestic movie?"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "The key is to read the script. As long as the script is good, no matter what type of movie it is, I want to try it."

The host nodded and said: "Mr. Zhang, thank you for accepting our interview."

···

The movie channel works very quickly. In just two days, "Movie Characters" was broadcast.

This program is divided into two parts. The first half introduces in detail how Zhang Xiao grew from an ordinary martial arts extra to the number one actor in the world's movies.

The second half talks about his achievements, especially the more than 3,000 Hope Primary Schools and more than 1,000 orphanages, which are the focus of the TV station's promotion.

What surprised Zhang Xiao was that even Yang Mi’s parents were interviewed by reporters.

And at the end of the program, there are countless videos of children expressing their gratitude to Zhang Xiao.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of those children, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, and deeply felt that everything he had done was worth it.
Chapter completed!
