Zhang Xiao replied: "To be precise, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" should be a commercial film full of literary and artistic colors. The investment will not be too large, only 150 million US dollars at most. As for the global box office expectations, of course it will exceed

The more the merrier!”

"Can you give me a specific number?" the reporter asked.

Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said: "Two billion US dollars!"

"If the box office can reach two billion US dollars, then I will be satisfied."

"Mr. Zhang, some time ago, people on the Internet said that you let hackers attack the Rotten Tomatoes website. Is there anything you want to say about this?"

As soon as Zhang Xiao heard this question, his expression immediately dropped, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't want to answer such a disgusting question."

"I just want to say that whether a movie can conquer movie fans depends on the quality of the movie, rather than some shady means. Fortunately, the truth has been revealed now. Otherwise, I would still be suffering the injustice."

"As for who the team behind the scenes is, although it is not directly correct, I think everyone should be able to guess it."

Seeing that the reporter still wanted to ask about this matter, Zhang Xiao immediately said: "Sorry, today is the launch conference of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". Except for questions related to this movie, I don't know any other questions."

answer."

"Okay, the reporter in blue, please ask."

“···”

"Ms. Yang Mi, I heard that you have been managing Qingtian Entertainment and raising children for the past two years. Are you planning to make a comeback?"

"That's right!" Yang Mi said with a smile: "Now that the company is on the right track and the child is two years old, it's time for me to come out and do the job I like."

"With Mr. Zhang's worth, do you still need to work? Why do you still come out to act?"

"First of all, it's because I like the job of filming. I don't film for money, it's purely for fun. Like my husband, I also love movies very much."

"Mr. Eddie Serkis, you are called the 'Chaplin' of the CG movie era. Are you playing the gorilla this time?"

Andy Serkis nodded and said: "I do play a gorilla named Caesar. As for the title of Chaplin in the CG era, I don't dare to take it. There is only one Chaplin in the world, and there is only one Chaplin."

A Serkis.”

"Mr. Serkis, you have acted in "King Kong" and are very familiar with the gorilla's movements. It shouldn't be difficult to play Caesar, right?"

"No, Caesar is more difficult than King Kong, because this is a very young orangutan, and I need to use a lot of expressions and eyes to express its emotions in different states."

"Fortunately, Mr. Zhang is also an expert in motion capture. I believe he can help me play the role of Caesar well."

All the artists in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", no matter how famous they are, have not been able to escape being interviewed by reporters, but they are all old people in this industry, so it is very easy to deal with them.

After the launch conference, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" officially entered the filming stage. Zhang Xiao had already arranged the scenes according to the scene, and all Yang Mi's scenes were concentrated at the beginning and end.

The first part can be completed in ten days, and the latter part can be completed in five days at most.

Although everyone had some objections to Zhang Xiao's arrangement, after Yang Mi treated everyone to a meal and explained it, the unhappiness in everyone's hearts disappeared.

In any case, Zhang Xiao and Yang Mi were able to seek everyone's understanding and forgiveness for this matter, which has already expressed their respect for the crew. It would be unreasonable to have any further objections.

He is an investor, director, and screenwriter, so being able to explain it is already very good. What else do you want from him?

The movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" mainly tells the story of the growth of the orangutan Caesar, and Andy Serkis is the most important core. As long as he can nail the role of Caesar, the entire movie will basically be nailed.

As for the roles of Zhang Xiao and Yang Mi, they only play a supporting role, and the requirements for acting skills are very low.

Needless to say, Zhang Zhangxiao's acting skills are natural, and Yang Mi also acted very easily, with almost no mistakes.

"Honey, I haven't acted in two years. How did I find that your acting skills are much better than before?" In the hotel, Zhang Xiao hugged the blushing Yang Mi and said.

Yang Mi's role is actually not that difficult, but Zhang Xiao can still see that Yang Mi's acting skills have undergone earth-shaking changes, almost reaching the stage where every move and every move is dramatic.

Even compared to those old drama stars, it's not much better.

Yang Mi said: "Maybe it's because I have consolidated my acting skills in the past two years, so I have such a slight improvement!"

Zhang Xiao said: "This is not a slight improvement, but a considerable improvement. Every expression and every movement of yours fits the character very well. I think your acting skills now are comparable to Zhou Xun's."

They are."

Yang Mi asked in surprise: "Really? Did you see it wrong?"

Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes angrily and said, "Who am I? The world's number one director, how could I get it wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi said happily: "I am really flattered to get your golden compliment. I must show off when I go back."

Sunny Entertainment Company Headquarters.

Chen Ya personally poured a cup of tea for Zhou Runfa and Liu Huade, and said with a smile: "Brother Fa, Brother Hua, if anything happens, you can just call me. Why did you fly here from Hong Kong Island?

"

Liu Huade said: "Sister Ya, we are all old friends. Please stop saying these kind words to us. You are so smart, you should be able to guess the purpose of our coming here to find you, right?"

Chen Ya nodded and said, "It's about director Wu Yusen, right?"

After Yang Mi went out to film, all the affairs of Qingtian Entertainment were handed over to Chen Ya to manage. Of course, when Yang Mi was around, she was also in charge.

It can be said that Chen Ya is one of the most trusted people by Zhang Xiao and Yang Mi.

Wu Yusen has been going to Qingtian Entertainment almost every day these days. Chen Ya naturally knows what his purpose is, and wants Zhang Xiao to speak for "Wind Whisperer" to prevent them from being targeted by movie fans.

But the problem is that Chen Ya really doesn't want to care about this matter, so she just arranged for the staff to treat him politely and avoid him all the time.

Wu Yusen really had no choice but to drag over Zhou Runfa and Liu Huade, who were closely related to Zhang Xiao's family.

The three of them are all top filmmakers in Hong Kong Island and have collaborated with each other many times.

Chow Yun-fat's film career has been smooth and smooth today, thanks to Wu Yusen's "A Better Tomorrow", which helped him get rid of the title of box office poison.

Liu Huade had also been taken care of by Wu Yusen many times. Regarding Wu Yusen's request, the two of them had no choice but to bite the bullet and come.
Chapter completed!
