Chapter 632: Finalize the international version and confirm the release time
Twelve movie stars sat in front of a table, coming and going, attacking and defending, using their expressions, movements, and lines to maximize the tension of the entire drama.
Everyone seemed to be addicted to the drama. They were all full of energy and quarreling with each other. Even Zhang Xiao had a feeling of intoxication.
"Passed!"
"very good!"
"No problem~"
··
Throughout the whole day, what Zhang Xiao said the most were these few sentences.
When work ended at six o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xiao found that one-fifth of the filming progress had been completed, and he couldn't help but said happily: "Hey guys, who knows where the best bar in Hollywood is, I'll invite everyone to have a drink."
Peter's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Zhang Xiao's words, and he shouted: "I know a very good bar, but it's a bit expensive."
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Money is not the problem, the key is to have good wine!"
Pete snapped his fingers and said, "That's no problem, I'll drive and lead the way."
Half an hour later, Zhang Xiao and his group arrived at the place where Peter said they were playing. After playing for almost two hours, Zhang Xiao went over to pay the bill. Good guy, they actually spent more than three hundred thousand US dollars in a short time.
On the way back to the hotel, Zhang Xiao complained: "Peter, you are so unreliable. The wine here is not only a bit expensive, but it is quite expensive. No one spent nearly 30,000 US dollars on my wine."
Oh my god, it’s so cool.”
Pete said with a smile: "My director Zhang, to you, a billionaire, what does this little money mean?"
DiCaprio also said: "That's right, Peter, don't tell me, the cocktails he mixed were really good. I drank three glasses in a row."
Bell burped and said, "Three glasses are nothing. I saw that guy Otiman drink five glasses of wine."
Listening to these people showing off, Zhang Xiao said angrily: "Shut up, everyone. I tell you, now that you have drank wine and eaten food, if you don't perform well tomorrow, don't blame me for being rude."
Already."
"What if you perform well?" Bell asked with a smile.
Zhang Xiao said: "Then I will continue to treat you to drinks."
"Okay!" Everyone cheered when they heard this.
Maybe they had a goal, so everyone performed better on the second day of shooting than on the first day. This led to Zhang Xiao spending another 400,000 US dollars to treat them to a drink the next day.
The third day...
The fourth day...
For ten consecutive days, Zhang Xiao spent a total of nearly two million US dollars to treat the crew to drinks, but the effect was very obvious. At 11 o'clock in the morning on the fifth day, the international version of "Twelve Angry Men" was completely filmed.
, It’s finished.
The shooting time was shorter than the domestic version of "12 Angry Men".
Bell laughed and said: "Oh my God, I can't believe it. We shot a movie in four and a half days. Guys, we made Hollywood history!"
Pete nodded and agreed: "Yes, since we have made history, shouldn't we go to the bar to celebrate?"
Everyone also cheered: "Yes, you should go to the bar to celebrate!"
Zhang Xiao shouted angrily: "You guys don't even think about it, I have no money."
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
After the international version of "Twelve Angry Men" was finalized, Zhang Xiao found a studio nearby and completed all the post-production work in just three days.
At this time, there were still three days left before the Oscar awards ceremony. Zhang Xiao did not waste this time and directly asked Chen Li to go back to Disney Studios with the international version of "12 Angry Men".
Hermann did not dare to neglect, and immediately stopped people from the film review department from going to the screening room to watch the film, which was produced in less than ten days.
After watching it, Herman looked at Chen Li in disbelief and said, "Ms. Chen, is this really a movie that Mr. Zhang completed in a week?"
Chen Li nodded and said, "Yes, four and a half days of shooting and three days of post-editing."
Herman gave a thumbs up and praised: "Mr. Zhang is really amazing."
Chen Li said with a smile: "This is also the first time I have seen this movie. Although the whole movie only uses one scene, I have to say that the performances of these actors are completely perfect."
Herman nodded and said: "I think so too. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, let's start grading!"
More than 20 reviewers gave the international version of "12 Angry Men" an average score of 9.45.
Seeing the voting results, Herman smiled and said: "Another classic, Miss Chen, when will Mr. Zhang plan to release it?"
Chen Li said: "It must be before the summer vacation. Mr. Herman, you know, for Mr. Zhang, this "Twelve Angry Men" is just a casual gadget. The real feast is "Zhu Xian"
》.”
"I understand!" Herman nodded and continued: "I will choose a good time to release it before the summer vacation."
Chen Li said with a smile: "It's best to make a decision quickly, because the Chinese version will be released together with the international version."
"Okay, I understand!" Herman replied.
···
The next afternoon, Zhang Xiao received a call from Chen Li. The premiere of "Twelve Angry Men" was scheduled for midnight on April 28th.
Zhang Xiao is very satisfied with this schedule, because there is Labor Day in between, which is a holiday for people all over the world.
After the international version of "Twelve Angry Men" was confirmed, Zhang Xiao immediately called Yang Mi: "Honey, the release date is confirmed to be at 0:00 on April 28th. How about you make arrangements for the domestic version?"
Yang Mi smiled bitterly and said: "Husband, every May Day, there will be at least eight movies released, and there may be more this year. Among them, there is a movie invested by our own company. Have you really thought about it?"
"Of course!" Zhang Xiao replied confidently.
Yang Mi said: "What if the box office is not good?"
Zhang Xiao shrugged and said nonchalantly: "If it's not good, it's not good. It's none of my business. I can't see the money anyway."
As long as Zhang Xiao's movies are screened in China, the promotion and distribution will definitely be done by Qingtian Entertainment. So to this day, whether it is "Across the Stars" or Zhang Xiao's other movies, the money he earns has been paid by Yang every time.
The microphone was intercepted, and then nothing happened, which left Zhang Xiao speechless.
Yang Mi smiled and said: "Husband, you are a billionaire, why do you need this little box office money?"
"Don't you understand this?" Zhang Xiao said: "The money I earn from filming is the fruit of my hard-earned labor, and the money I earn from investing is, to put it bluntly, speculation. Both of them mean nothing to me.
no the same."
Yang Mi said angrily: "Don't talk so much, it's all money, what's the difference? In this way, I will move the film invested by the company back and give it to "Twelve Angry Men". I hope this
The movie can do well."
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am very confident about this movie. There will definitely be no problem if it exceeds 500 million box office. If it reaches 1 billion... let's talk about it another time."
Chapter completed!
