After the preparations were completed, Zhang Yimou said: "A!"

Zhang Xiao and Deng Cao started their first shooting.

"kill!"

Zhang Xiao shouted loudly and waved his long knife in a circle in the air. The light of the knife struck diagonally from above. It moved like thunder and was as fast as lightning. This was the impression Zhang Xiao left on everyone.

Deng Cao was dumbfounded by the murderous aura, his eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he felt a deep cold meaning from the soles of his feet to the sky.

He never thought that when Zhang Xiao truly became one with the character, the murderous aura and domineering energy emanating from him would be so strong.

"Are you really going to kill yourself?"

At this moment, Deng Cao couldn't help but have a suspicion in his heart.

When Zhang Xiao's long knife was about to get close to Deng Cao, he had already noticed something was wrong with the other party. In a situation that ordinary people thought was impossible, his body turned half a circle to the left and fell to the ground. The long knife in his hand was also

Taken back.

"Click!"

Zhang Yimou shouted, frowned and asked: "Hey, what's going on with you?"

Deng Cao came back to his senses, shuddered all over, and said: "I was just frightened by Brother Xiao's murderous intent. It felt like he was attacking me with thousands of troops. I couldn't help but shudder."

I don’t even dare to move, it’s too scary.”

Zhang Xiao was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Brother Cao, are you mistaken? Is it so mysterious?"

Zhang Yimou said: "Although I am more than ten meters away from you, I still feel a chill."

Everyone else also nodded.

Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "Okay, I'll restrain myself a little bit."

Deng Cao said: "That's not necessary. As long as I am slightly prepared, I should be able to hold on."

Zhang Xiao said: "Don't force me. My momentum can be increased or reduced. There is no problem if I restrain it a little."

"I want to try it!" Deng Cao said firmly, "If I really can't stand it, I won't pretend to be fat."

Zhang Yimou thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, let's get ready, let's shoot again."

"A!"

The second shooting started. Zhang Xiao rushed forward again just like last time. Deng Cao took three steps forward with enchanting steps and blocked Zhang Xiao's knife with a Pei umbrella.

Zhang Xiao was overjoyed. Deng Cao was able to block the knife, indicating that he had adapted to his powerful momentum. In this way, the two of them could complete the filming step by step according to the previously trained movements.

Unfortunately, the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny.

Zhang Xiao had a good idea, but Deng Cao was really incompetent. After just two photos, his movements were greatly deformed due to lack of coordination in his hands and feet, and Zhang Yimou shouted "Ka".

Zhang Xiao secretly sighed: "It's over!"

Murderous aura is something that won't be a problem once you get used to it, but physical coordination problems are basically impossible to improve in a short period of time. If Deng Cao didn't complete it this time, it will be a problem next time.

Sure enough, the two of them filmed for more than 20 minutes, and even after they were at the hotel at noon, they only managed to capture one minute of footage.

But even so, Zhang Yimou was still very happy and praised Zhang Xiao for his good teaching, which made Zhang Xiao speechless.

Next, Zhang Xiao's filming was spent in complete pain. He and Deng Cao played tricks one after another without any concern at all.

A total of thirty minutes of footage was shot and took ten days to complete.

Back at the hotel, Zhang Xiao and Yang Mi started a brother video.

"Honey, you really found a good job for me!" Zhang Xiao complained.

Yang Mi asked: "What's wrong? Did the filming not go smoothly?"

Zhang Xiao said: "It's not that it didn't go well, it was quite unsatisfactory. Brother Cao doesn't know kung fu at all. It took him a week just to train. Then when the actual shooting came, it only took half an hour of material.

The filming lasted ten days, and I was going crazy."

Yang Mijiao smiled and said: "I'm sorry, husband, I forgot that your opponents are not Brother Jie and Brother Jin."

Zhang Xiao sighed: "When it comes to making action movies or martial arts movies, you have to find action actors who are good at martial arts. When I filmed "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" with Brother Jie, it can be described as having a strong connection.

.”

"No matter how difficult the action is, we can handle it easily. Now when I shoot martial arts scenes with Brother Cao, let alone being in sync with each other, if one shot can be shot five or six times, I will be thankful."

Yang Mi pursed her lips and said, "Hubby, are you blaming me?"

"Don't dare!" Zhang Xiao said quickly: "You are the boss now, I don't dare to blame you, I just complained about my sullenness."

"Although Brother Cao's martial arts scenes are not very impressive, he still practices martial arts very hard in private. I can't dampen his enthusiasm, so I can only tell you."

Yang Mi asked Duah: "Then when will you be able to finish your work and go home?"

Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said: "Today, the filming of my scene with Brother Cao has been completed. The next step is for Wu Xiaolei and I to share the scene. We don't have many scenes, so it will only take a day or two!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi said happily: "That's great, we'll wait for you at home."

However, what makes Zhang Xiao even more speechless is that Wu Xiaolei's performance is not as good as Deng Cao's. The relationship between the two of them is just to teach and learn sword skills. It only took five days to shoot. It took three days to complete the filming.

.

In order to thank Zhang Xiao for his great help, Zhang Yimou held a small closing banquet for him in the hotel.

Deng Cao and Wu Xiaolei kept thanking Zhang Xiao for his guidance over such a long period of time.

Judging from the filming materials, the martial arts scenes between the two and Zhang Xiao are indeed at least ten times more exciting than the original version. Once released, the two will definitely become a blockbuster.

···

The next morning, Zhang Xiao flew back to the capital and returned home at two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Oh, my precious girl misses her father so much."

Zhang Xiao walked into the living room, hugged Xiao Xinxin who was playing on the floor, and kissed her hard on the face twice.

Xiao Xinxin pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, your beard is too prickly. Can you please stop kissing me in the future? It's very painful."

Zhang Xiao looked embarrassed and said: "I'm sorry, honey, it's all dad's fault. Dad will go shave now."

Yang Mi had a big belly and said with a smile: "Husband, I think only Xiao Xinxin in our family can control you."

Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes at her and said, "Who said that? You can still control me, otherwise I wouldn't act in Director Zhang's movie."

Yang Mi said with a smile: "Isn't it just that it took an extra week? It's not over yet?"

"I..." Zhang Xiao was speechless for a while.

···

Time flies, and it’s Christmas abroad in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Xiao's animated film "Zootopia" was also released today in Europe and the United States. As the world's most awesome director, Zhang Xiao's films have always attracted the attention of movie fans around the world.

Although many movie fans don't like to watch animated movies, they can't resist the fact that children all like them. If children want to watch it, their parents will definitely follow suit.

As the financial crisis in Europe and the United States continues to spread, in order to allow more families to enter the cinema, Zhang Xiao has specially launched a family package. If a family goes to see "Zootopia" together, the ticket price for each of them will be

There will be a 60% discount.

After this huge discount came out, it immediately aroused everyone's enthusiasm for watching the movie. In the last hour before the premiere, the pre-sale box office of this animated movie in Europe and the United States exceeded 500 million US dollars, which simply created a new era for animated movies.

A box office miracle.

The next step will be to see whether the film's reputation can maintain its pre-sale box office.

This is precisely what Zhang Xiao is most confident about. In his previous life, "Zootopia" scored 9.2 points on a certain website. It fell into the category of classic animated movies, and it must be similar in this world.

Sure enough, after the premiere of "Zootopia", word-of-mouth was overwhelming. In less than half an hour, more than 50,000 movie fans gave it a 94% fresh rating on the film review website, and the comment section was even more positive.

"This animated movie by Xiao Shen is so interesting. I give it 97 points."

"What should I do if my two daughters want to watch "Zootopia"? We have just finished watching it!"

"My evaluation has only two words, classic."

"This animated movie can actually be watched by adults. The characters in it are so interesting."

"Produced by Xiao Shen, every supplement is indeed a top quality product."

"This more than seventy US dollars was spent so straightforwardly that my sons were very happy to see it."

"Compared with "Frozen", they are two completely different genres, but they are both very beautiful."

“I think it’s better than Frozen!”

“···”

Seeing the overwhelming reputation of "Zootopia" overseas, major cinemas in Europe and the United States did not hesitate to increase filming.

In this difficult time of financial crisis, if such a popular movie can appear, the owners of these theater chains will not let go of this great opportunity to make money.

Soon, the overseas box office of "Zootopia" was released on its first day, which was US$148 million.

This box office ranked first among the twelve movies released on Christmas Day, once again defending Zhang Xiao's glory as the number one movie maker.

The next day, the box office of "Zootopia" exploded, exceeding US$240 million. This was the highest single-day box office for a movie since the financial crisis.
