Chapter 537: Forrest Gump is finished
"Do you know how much I have contributed to Binghai?"
“···”
The classic lines coupled with the real and fierce fighting made the movie fans very enjoyable to watch.
Finally, Zhang Xiao was caught and the movie ended.
There was warm applause.
At this time, a fan suddenly shouted: "Master Zhao will pay for all the expenses tonight."
"Hahaha!" The fans at the scene burst into laughter.
Liubai took the actors to Taiqian and expressed his gratitude to the fans.
The next day, the reputation and box office performance of "Big Shot" were freshly released.
On the Department of Culture’s professional film review website, more than 120,000 people gave it a high score of 8.8, and the box office on the first day reached 375 million.
Although both box office and word-of-mouth are far behind Zhang Xiao's previous films, "Big Shot" is just a film with a cost of only tens of millions, so it is already very good to achieve such results.
"Xiao Shen is mighty and once again interprets a classic character image."
"Zhao Tai is so bad, so bad."
"Arrogant and domineering, doing whatever he wants, God Xiao is really bad."
"Xiao Shen has played three villain missions in total, the handsome and ruthless warden, the aloof and domineering Yu Huatian, the lawless clown, and now there is the fourth Zhao Tai. I have to admit that these four villains have their own merits and are all very special.
's classic."
"I wouldn't even know if you didn't tell me, how could I be so good? This line is so explosive."
"This "Big Shot" was able to score 8.8 points. I can say that it all depends on Xiao Shen."
"Without Xiao Shen, this movie can only be regarded as a passable movie at best, but with Xiao Shen, it is a classic."
"The success of "Big Shot" fully illustrates the truth that a movie can make an actor successful, and the same actor can also make a movie successful."
"Come on Xiao Shen, I look forward to your director's "Forrest Gump"."
“···”
Netizens are discussing it online.
"Big Shot" has gained a good reputation and has begun its journey to grab the box office.
The next day we won 358 million.
On the third day, it was 345 million; on the fourth day, it won 331 million; on the fifth day, it was 321 million; on the sixth day, it was 269 million.
In its first week of release, "Big Shot" took in more than 2.2 billion at the box office, beating all movies in the same period, including two so-called Hollywood blockbusters.
Unfortunately, the box office potential of "Big Shot" was not great, and there was a serious decline in the next three weeks. One month later, the final box office of "Big Shot" was fixed at 3.498 billion.
Yang Mi was very happy and held a grand celebration banquet for the crew of "Big Shot" and gave away 20 million in red envelopes alone.
You know, this is definitely an astronomical figure for Yang Mi, who has always loved money.
While watching the screen with Zhang Xiao, Yang Mi asked proudly: "Husband, do you know how much money we made from the box office of "Big Shot"?"
Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said: "The total box office is about 3.5 billion. If it is divided into your hands, it should be about 12.3 billion."
"That's right!" Yang Mi nodded proudly and said, "The total is 1.386 billion, which is almost as much as the company's annual profit."
Zhang Xiao really has no interest in money now, so he said perfunctorily: "Mr. Yang, congratulations on your turnaround."
Why couldn't Yang Mi understand the meaning of Zhang Xiao's words? She rolled her eyes angrily and said: "Come on, I know you don't like us who are making trouble, but please don't show it so obviously.
OK?"
Zhang Xiao retorted angrily: "What you said is too unfounded. If I didn't like "Big Shot", would I participate in it? What international joke are you making?"
Yang Mi's expression immediately changed, and she said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you are right, husband, from this "Big Shot", it can be seen that your status in the hearts of movie fans is really too high. If you change to another
As for the villain, it would be great if the box office of "Big Shot" exceeds 1 billion."
"This is what I told you..." Zhang Xiao paused deliberately as he spoke, and continued: "It's a matter of time before the movie is made. The first shot must be a classic. Only in this way can you make the fans believe in you."
Yang Mi nodded and said: "That's why I never went out to film again, mainly because I didn't find a suitable script."
Zhang Xiao said: "It's actually quite good for you to be like this. Of course, I won't stop you from filming, but if you are too impatient to eat hot tofu, there will always be opportunities."
Yang Mi asked: "Husband, when will your drama be finished?"
Zhang Xiao did the math and said, "It's probably about a month away."
"Great." Yang Mi immediately became happy and said, "We will wait for you to come back at home."

Lighthouse Country, the crew of "Forrest Gump".
I have to say that Heath Ledger is definitely a very good actor.
Thanks to his wonderful performance, the filming progress of "Forrest Gump" was very fast, and all the scenes in the Lighthouse Country were completed in just one and a half months.
Zhang Xiao took the crew to the country of Yue again to shoot war scenes.
As the star of two war blockbusters, "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Red Sea," Zhang Xiao is naturally familiar with this type of drama.
In order to pursue the ultimate war effect, Zhang Xiao did not rush over like on earth, but carefully prepared to make the war more intense.
As a result, Heath Ledger suffered a lot. Just the scene of escaping with his comrades on his back was filmed more than ten times, and he almost collapsed from exhaustion.
Fortunately, Heath Ledger held on in the end without any problems.
After three weeks, "Forrest Gump" was all finished.
Zhang Xiao did not hold a wedding banquet in Yue State, but flew to Yuzhou with the crew.
In a five-star hotel, the closing banquet of "Forrest Gump" was held.
Zhang Xiao held a glass of white wine, touched it with Heath Ledger, and said: "Ledger, you did a great job."
Heath Ledger said with gratitude: "Mr. Zhang, you are the best."
During this period, Zhang Xiao not only improved his ability to control the crew, but also gave Heath Ledger a huge help in his acting skills.
When Heath Ledger encountered a scene that he couldn't take, Zhang Xiao didn't have to explain it at all and just acted it out in front of him. This made Heath Ledger admire him very much.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiao is not from the Lighthouse country, otherwise Heath Ledger might not have been able to get this role.
Zhang Xiao spoke again: "Ledger, I still want to remind you that the actor and the character cannot be completely equated. You must control the character, and you cannot let the character control you."
Heath Ledger nodded and said, "Thank you, Director Zhang, for your concern. I understand what I should do."
Zhang Xiao glanced at Renata who was not far away, and said with a smile: "With your girlfriend here, I believe you won't have any problems."
Heath Ledger smiled and said: "Director Zhang, I haven't thanked you enough for inviting Renata over."
Zhang Xiao said: "According to the Chinese saying, I should be regarded as your matchmaker. If you really want to thank me, then treat me to a wedding bar when you get married."
Heath Ledger said with excitement: "Okay, definitely. And Renata has promised me that if I can win the Oscar next year, she will marry me."
Chapter completed!
