Yang Mi replied: "I said that the protagonist of this movie was decided by Disney and the director before. I can recommend it, but I can't make the decision."

Zhang Xiao said: "Then there's nothing wrong with you saying that. Why are you looking for me?"

Yang Mi smiled bitterly and said: "Yifei and Xia Wanxin, they all want to play this role. Even Zhao Xiaoying is also interested. What do you think I should do?"

Zhang Xiao said: "Give me their names and I will ask Disney to give them audition invitations. Under the same conditions, they will be hired first. However, Xiaoying is not included."

"Why?" Yang Mi was stunned and asked in confusion.

Zhang Xiao said: "Xiaoying's Baguio has become popular all over the world. The script of Hua Mulan is really not that good. There is no need to accept this movie. If she buys headphones, it will have a huge impact on her popularity."

Strike.”

Yang Mi was happy and said: "Husband, it seems that you don't like this movie either, but I don't understand, why don't you stop it?"

Zhang Xiao said: "No matter what, Hua Mulan is the heroine of China. The Hollywood film company is willing to make it. Why should I stop it?"

Yang Mi said: "Okay, when will you come back?"

"Just these two days." Zhang Xiao replied.

Yang Mi said: "Okay, then after you return to China, bring Xiao Xinxin to the set to play for a few days. I dream about her now."

From the beginning of "Sleeping on Fire" until now, Zhang Yimou has been filming scenes in the palace. He has great ambitions and hopes that the film will be a hit around the world, so the filming is very detailed and the progress is very slow.

As the two heroines in the play, Yang Mi and Reba have roles almost every day, so naturally they cannot leave the set. This has resulted in Reba not seeing her daughter for a month.

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Originally I was going to do the post-production of "War for the Planet of the Apes", but since my wife has given orders, I will go to Hengdian first."

"That's great, thank you husband." Yang Mi said happily.

Regarding the starring role in Mulan, Zhang Xiao just sent Herman the list of actresses and asked for a chance to audition, but didn't take it seriously.

The next day, Zhang Xiao got on the flight back to China.

After returning to Yuzhou, he took Xiao Xinxin to Hengdian without stopping.

In the afternoon, the two women, Yang Mi and Reba, returned to the hotel after taking a shower.

When they opened the room, they saw Zhang Xiao and Xiao Xinxin who were watching cartoons.

"Ah!" Yang Mi was so pleasantly surprised that she ran over without even changing her shoes, hugged Xiao Xinxin, kissed her hard on her little face, and said: "My baby, you

Now that you are here, do you miss your mother?"

"Think about it." Xiao Xinxin said.

Reba came over and asked, "Then do you miss your aunt?"

"No." Xiao Xinxin replied decisively.

Reba pretended to be angry and said, "Okay, you heartless little guy, see if I don't spank your little ass."

"Hahahaha!" Xiao Xinxin quickly hugged Yang Mi's neck and laughed.

Zhang Xiao said: "Two beauties, there is a panting person sitting here, can you please stop treating one favorably and favoring the other."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes at him and said, "You can pull him down, he's so precious. It makes me sick to hear it."

Zhang Xiao was speechless.

Reba asked: "Brother-in-law, weren't you still in the Lighthouse Country yesterday? How come you arrived so quickly?"

Zhang Xiao said: "I got off the plane from Yuzhou International Airport this morning. I didn't even go back home, so I met my parents directly at the domestic airport, and then came to Hengdian with little Xinxin."

"How's it going? Do you feel a little surprised?"

"That's a little bit!" Yang Mi said, "Thank you."

Zhang Xiao said: "We are an old couple, so there is no need to say thank you. You two beauties, I wonder if we women have the honor to treat you to a meal?"

Yang Mi said with a proud face: "Okay, we will reluctantly give you a chance to perform."

"Hahahahaha" Zhang Xiao laughed.

Soon, a family of four arrived at the Hengdian Hotel and ate in a private room.

Before leaving, the boss didn't ask for a penny, but just took a photo with Zhang Xiao and his family.

the next day.

Zhang Xiao came to the set with Xiao Xinxin in his arms.

Zhang Yimou smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, it will probably take half a month to start filming your scene."

Zhang Xiao said: "Don't worry, I am here to visit the family."

Zhang Yimou looked at Xiao Xinxin and said, "Is this our little princess Zhang Xinyue?"

"That's right!" Zhang Xiao said, "Come on, Xiao Xinxin, call someone."

"Hello, grandpa!" Xiao Xinxin called out in a clear voice.

Zhang Yimou covered his chest and said: "Oh, my heart almost melted when I heard grandpa calling me. Xiao Xinxin, how old are you?"

Xiao Xinxin replied: "I am three years and two months old."

"Have you gone to school?" Zhang Yimou asked again.

Xiao Xinxin answered truthfully: "I am now in the kindergarten class."

Zhang Yimou reached out and touched her head and said, "She's so smart."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Director Zhang, the shooting is about to start. You are busy first. I will take the children to the amusement park for a while."

Zhang Yimou nodded and said: "Okay, please be careful and don't make too much of a fuss."

Zhang Xiao said: "Don't worry, my makeup skills are not something ordinary people can recognize."

I accompanied Xiao Xinxin to play in the amusement park near Hengdian for a day, and came back to have dinner with Yang Mi and Reba in the afternoon.

After coming here for four or five days, Zhang Xiao returned to Yuzhou with his children.

He practiced dancing for the concert during the day and worked on the post-production of "War for the Planet of the Apes" at night. At the end of the day, Zhang Xiao was extremely busy.

After the special effects for "War for the Planet of the Apes" were completed, the work of scoring, dubbing, and editing was still very easy for Zhang Xiao.

In just one week, he completed more than 80% of it, and the rest was just some details.

On this day, Zhang Xiao received a call from Zhang Yimou.

"Hey, Director Zhang, do you need me to join the crew?"

"Yes, we went to Jiaozuo Film and Television City to shoot the war scenes after that day. All your scenes were there."

"Okay, then I will go directly to Jiaozuo Film and Television City. By the way, have the scenes between Mimi and Reba been finished?"

"Reba's scene is over, and Mimi's three scenes are also over."

Xi Shi, played by Reba, is mainly in Fu Chai's palace, so everything can be done in Hengdian, while Ya Yu, played by Yang Mi, has several scenes on the battlefield and must go to Jiaozuo Film and Television City.

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

Then he saved the completed parts of "War for the Planet of the Apes" and went to Jiaozuo Film and Television City early the next morning.

The role of Gou Wa'er is not difficult for Zhang Xiao, who has SSS-level acting skills, but Zhang Xiao still came to the studio in advance and personally arranged the set.

His main filming locations include the battlefield of the Battle of Wu and Chu, the family's thatched house with bare walls, and the mountainside where his parents are buried.

When Zhang Yimou was in Hengdian, the drama staff had already come over to prepare for the filming in advance, but the quality was really not that good.

After Zhang Xiao arrived, he immediately found the person in charge and went to the set together to start over.

Two days later, the actors and actresses from "Sleeping on the Job" and the bodyguards of "Sunny Day" arrived at Jiaozuo Film and Television City one after another.

In a private room of a five-star hotel, Zhang Xiao, Yang Mi, Bao Guoan, Chen Baoguo, Chen Kun, Hong Jiehui and others were sitting together.

Since Zhang Yimou had to do some messy things on the set, he didn't have time to come over.

Zhang Xiao focused his attention on Bao Guoan and said, "Teacher Bao, you seem to have lost some weight."

Bao Guoan laughed and said: "I will play Wu Zixu in middle age next, so I need to be more energetic."

Yang Mi said: "Teacher Bao has only eaten one meal a day in the past two weeks."

Zhang Xiao was very impressed when he heard this and said: "Teacher Bao, you have to take care of yourself."

Bao Guoan waved his hand and said: "I'm fine. Originally I only ate two meals. Now I can skip one meal. It's not a big deal."

Zhang Xiao said: "Okay, Teacher Bao, don't worry about that tonight, let's eat openly, how about it?"

Bao Guoan chuckled and said, "Okay, no problem."

Everyone moved cups to cups and started drinking.

After three rounds of drinks and five delicious dishes, Zhang Xiao received a call from the assistant director, saying that he would be filming the scene where he was forcibly conscripted tomorrow morning.

Yang Mi said playfully from the side: "Husband, are you ready? I haven't acted in such a long time. Don't capsize in the gutter!"

Zhang Xiao made a sound, pointed to his head, and said: "Not to mention the role of Gou Wa'er, the entire script is stored in my mind. I can definitely finish it in one go."

Yang Mi said: "Don't say that. Director Zhang is very fond of this play and is extremely strict with the actors. Take me for example, it took me more than 20 times to perform one scene before I could pass it."

Zhang Xiao said in surprise: "Are you so bad?"
