Herman nodded and said: "Okay boss, I understand. I will arrange for someone to contact Huayi."

"Yeah!" Zhang Xiao hummed.

Herman continued: "Boss, something very important has happened in Hollywood. I want to report it to you in advance."

"What's going on?" Zhang Xiao asked curiously.

Herman replied: "Solid is acquiring Columbia."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiao was shocked. Suoli acquired Columbia when he was on Earth. He didn't expect it to happen in this world.

Fortunately, this incident happened later than it happened on Earth. Otherwise, if the giant Suo Li was involved, it would not be certain who would win in the last stock market war!

"Okay, I understand!" Zhang Xiao nodded and hung up the phone.

Then he looked at Chen Daoming and said with a smile: "Teacher Chen, are you satisfied?"

Chen Daoming nodded with satisfaction and said: "Zhang Xiao, thank you. I know that with your mind, you will definitely not leave the entire Chinese film industry alone because of Chen Gang."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Teacher Chen, don't think that I am so great. "The Battle of Red Cliff" is not only for Chen Gang, but also for dozens of Chinese artists. I don't want to see the movie that everyone worked so hard to make, because

Issues of distribution were ruined.”

Chen Daoming patted Zhang Xiao on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Thank you!"

Wang Jun and Chen Gang on the other side were both paying attention to this picture of Xiao and Chen Daoming. When they saw Zhang Xiao took out his mobile phone and made a call, then a smile appeared on Chen Daoming's face. Wang Jun and Wang Jun felt a little relieved.

.

There should be no problem.

Sure enough, Chen Daoming came over and explained the matter briefly.

Wang Jun clapped his hands and said happily: "That's great, Teacher Chen, thank you very much."

Chen Daoming shook his head and said: "The one you should thank is Zhang Xiao."

Seeing the two people's silence, Chen Daoming sighed: "I just want to ask you, if you were in Zhang Xiao's position, could you do what he does?"

After saying that, Chen Daoming left.

Wang Jun was silent for a long time and said with a wry smile: "Old Chen, did we do something wrong?"

Chen Gang snorted and sneered: "Zhang Xiao is just a person who wants fame and reputation. What he wants now is not money, but fame."

Wang Jundao: "No matter what his reason is, he helped us this time. This is an indisputable fact."

Chen Gang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what he could say. When the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back. He had no choice but to lower his head under the eaves.

In the face of absolute strength, no matter how tough your words are, there is nothing you can do.

···

Time flies, and the Lantern Festival has passed in the blink of an eye.

At one o'clock in the afternoon on the 16th of the first lunar month, Zhang Xiao led Chen Daoming, Li Xuejian, Han Tongsheng, Li Guangfu, Gao Weiguang, Guan Gu and others to hold a press conference for the launch of "Twelve Angry Men".

The location of this press conference was not in a five-star hotel, but in a school auditorium.

Since it is Zhang Xiao's new film, and two movie stars Chen Daoming and Li Xuejian are joining the film, as well as several veteran actors, the press conference attracted more than a hundred media reporters.

Zhang Xiao sat in the middle and said directly: "I know everyone is surprised that I have a new film so soon. I also came up with "Twelve Angry Men" on a whim. What do you have now?"

If you want to know anything, just ask."

"Xiao Shen, what type of movie is "Twelve Angry Men" and how much is the investment?"

"What type? To be precise, it should be a drama. Our movie only has one scene, which is the small auditorium next to it. There is no big scene. The investment is less than 30 million, and it is expected to be completed in ten days."

When everyone heard Zhang Xiao's words, the whole place was in an uproar.

When I was filming "Infernal Affairs", it was released in less than a month, which was already very fast. Now Zhang Xiao is better off, having to shoot a movie in ten days.

Is it floating or expanding?

"Xiao Shen, will this drama be released worldwide?"

"No, I like the script of "12 Angry Men" very much. After we finish filming the domestic version, I will go to Hollywood to film the international version. If there are no problems in all aspects, I may choose to release it simultaneously.

.”

"If you shoot a movie in ten days, do you think it can pass the quality standard?"

"The quality of a movie does not depend on how long it takes to shoot, but on whether the script, crew, director and actors are reliable. I believe you have also seen that the actors I hired this time are all recognized by the industry.

With their talented team, there will be absolutely no problem with the quality of the movie, and it may even be finished in less than ten days.”

"Xiao Shen, what is the box office target for "Twelve Angry Men" and when will it be released?"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "I don't have any requirements for the box office. It would be good if the domestic version exceeds 2 billion RMB, and the international version exceeds 1 billion US dollars. As for the release time, it should be in April, it will definitely not happen anyway."

During the summer vacation.”

"Xiao Shen, when will the post-production of your "Zhu Xian" be completed?"

"Probably still needed... Hey, sorry, today is the launch conference of "Twelve Angry Men", and I can't even answer the questions about the facial features of this movie. I almost got fooled."

"Xiao Shen, which actors will be invited to the international version of "Twelve Angry Men"?"

"Of course it's Oscar-winning actor level!"

"Can you reveal what the script is about?"

"The whole story revolves around a murder case without any assistance, and the plot is mainly driven by actors, so I found teachers to play the role."

"Mr. Chen, everyone knows that you must read the script before taking on a role. How would you rate the script "Twelve Angry Men"?"

"Oh, what a coincidence, Zhang Xiao also asked me this question. My answer is 8 points. If our actors perform well, it will not be difficult to exceed 9 points and become a classic."

"Director Zhang said that this play will only take about ten days to complete. Teacher Chen, what do you think?"

"I think with our acting skills, it doesn't take ten days at all. Teacher Li, what do you think?"

Li Xuejian nodded and said: "One week!"

Chen Daoming smiled and said: "It's different from what I thought."

"Teachers, it seems that you have great confidence in "Twelve Angry Men"!"

"Of course, most of the movies we shoot have the actors following the plot, but in this drama, the plot completely follows the actors. This is a real acting showdown. I believe no actor can do this kind of drama.

Missed it.”

Chen Daoming's words were recognized by all the actors present.

"Mr. Gao Weiguang, do you feel any pressure when facing these senior teachers?"

Gao Weiguang did not expect that the reporter would ask him questions all of a sudden, and said quickly: "Alexander, apart from participating in the Spring Festival Gala this Spring Festival, Guangu and I basically stayed in the company's training room. In addition to memorizing lines every day, we were under the guidance of the teacher.

Polish your acting skills.”

"Sekiya, you have won the Golden Palm Award for Best Supporting Actor, do you also feel pressure?"

Guan Gudao: "Last time I won the Golden Cup Award for Best Supporting Actor through "I'm Not the God of Medicine". To be honest, I felt guilty because I was able to play the role to that extent mainly because of the director and Brother Xiao.

Compared with the guidance given to me on the spot, my own acting skills are still a long way from those of the teachers."

"I don't want to be the worst person in the crew, and I don't want to affect the entire crew because of me. Therefore, all I can do is to be fully prepared from the beginning and meet the challenge."
