Chapter 437: New Movie?
Regarding Feng Xiaogang's comments, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, but Zhao Xing didn't care much.
Originally, he was quite upset about the last time Feng said that he didn't know him, but as he read more and came into contact with a wide range of people and things, he felt that there was no need to pursue some things.
If you don't like it, you don't like it, radish and cabbage have their own love. When one day he won the Oscar for Best Director, he could also stand in front of everyone and say to the majority of reporters and friends: "I'm sorry, I'm busy during this time, so I didn't pay attention to Director Feng's dynamics." What do you say, he's making a new movie again, isn't he? Oh, yes, I like science fiction movies, and Director Feng's movies don't quite fit my aesthetics......"
Thinking about it, Zhao Xing couldn't help but grin. After that, he felt that he looked a little like a convulsion just now, so Zhao Xing quickly closed his mouth and stopped laughing.
The premiere of "The Matrix" is still underway, with the third premiere in Japan, South Korea and Thailand. Zhao Xing's fame in Japan and South Korea has increased a lot since the last "Fast and Furious", let alone in Thailand. The total box office of the three countries combined is 300 million US dollars, of which Japan and South Korea have a total of 170 million, and Thailand itself accounts for 130 million.
The total box office of the premieres in the five countries combined was 1.15 billion. Such an achievement once again set a new record for world directors.
Even the best director in the United States can't reach such a box office, so Zhao Xing is in the news again.
Unlike in the past, this time the United States evaluated Zhao Xing quite objectively, did not deliberately hack him, nor did he sour, but reported this fact realistically, and called on American directors to struggle and not lose to directors from China.
And the media in Huaxia are still touting Zhao Xing in various ways, and some media even say that Zhao Xing is the next Oscar winner for Best Director.
Regarding all kinds of touting, Zhao Xing has seen a lot, but he still feels in a good mood. At the same time, he is not impetuous, he is quietly preparing new works.
"The Matrix" is still being released in five countries, and even some European countries, such as Russia, the United Kingdom, and Ireland, have also purchased the rights to the film and released it in major theaters in China.
In less than a week, Zhao Xing wrote his new movie script.
The name of the new movie is "Prison Break", which was also selected by Zhao Xing from his super entertainment system. This film is mainly about a story about salvation. In order to save his brother Lincoln, who was framed and imprisoned, Michael planned to escape from prison and successfully escaped. He was imprisoned again while on the run, and finally collected evidence to get away with it.
This story has nothing to do with the previous two films, it is a completely new story. Although the pattern of the whole story seems relatively small, not as large as the previous two films, the structure of the story has become very rigorous under Zhao Xing's adaptation, and the storyline is interesting and not procrastinating, so it is also a very perfect and exciting story.
After the script of the film was written, the next step was casting. This time, Zhao Xing decided to use Jackie Chan to play the leading role.
Although Zhao Xing has admired Jackie Chan's name for a long time, because his reputation was a little low before, he has not been embarrassed to cooperate with Jackie Chan. Now that his fame has also risen, Zhao Xing simply asked his assistant to find Jackie Chan's contact information and cheekily called him personally.
The phone rang for more than ten seconds, and there was a hoarse and lazy voice from Brother Chenggong.
"Hey, I'm Jackie Chan, who are you?"
Zhao Xing's mood was a little excited, he tried his best to suppress his crazy beating heart, and tried his best to say to the other party in a stable tone: "Brother Jackie Chan, I am Zhao Xing." It's the director of the recently released movie "The Matrix", you know if I don't? ”
"Zhao, Zhao Xing?" When Jackie Chan heard that the person who called him was Zhao Xing, his eyebrows immediately fluttered excitedly.
Although Zhao Xing is a newcomer in the entertainment industry, because of his rapid progress and his entry into Hollywood in the form of a dark horse, many artists in the entertainment industry have noticed him.
Jackie Chan also heard someone mention him when he went to the United States to shoot a movie. So he went to watch Zhao Xing's movie, the "Fast and Furious", I don't know if I don't see it, and I was shocked when I saw it. Jackie Chan was deeply attracted by this action movie with super luxurious special effects.
It takes four or five hours to look at it, and after watching the upper part and looking at the lower part, this is not over, Jackie Chan went to search for some other works of Zhao Xing to see. When he learned that Zhao Xing made his debut as a bar singer earlier, and he had also released an album, Jackie Chan became even more interested in this enigmatic character.
However, because the entertainment industry is not big or small, even if Jackie Chan is interested in Zhao Xing, he has never had the opportunity to cooperate, so Jackie Chan has not been able to talk to Zhao Xing until now. Of course, the premise is that Zhao Xing does not take the initiative to call Jackie Chan.
"Yes, it's me." Hearing Jackie Chan call his name, Zhao Xing nodded excitedly in response.
"Great, you are really Zhao Xing! I've seen your movie, Fast & Furious, it's so good! Jackie Chan said excitedly, "By the way, you just said that you recently released a new movie, right?" I'm busy these days, so I haven't had time to see it yet. But I'm done quickly, and when I'm done, I'll go to the theater. ”
Zhao Xing was stunned by what Jackie Chan said. He was trying to figure out how to communicate with Jackie Chan about the movie, but he didn't expect him to say a lot in one breath, and there was no lack of love for his works in his words.
This made Zhao Xing a little flattered, and after reacting, Zhao Xing immediately shook his head and said: "How can you let Jackie Chan break the bank, you want to watch a movie and tell me, I invite you!" ”
"Haha!" Jackie Chan's side immediately burst out laughing.
The two talked for a while, and Jackie Chan said, "By the way, Director Zhao, did you call me for something this time?" ”
Zhao Xing laughed twice, said Look at my memory, chatted with Jackie Chan so happily that he forgot about the business, and then said that he wanted to find Jackie Chan to make a movie.
Jackie Chan was very excited when he heard it. Since Zhao Xing became the director, he has invited a lot of small fresh meat and old fresh meat in the entertainment industry to film, but he didn't invite himself, and now Zhao Xing finally thinks of himself, where can he not agree?
"Okay, okay, Director Zhao, I'm naturally happy that you can think of letting me make a movie. Don't worry, when you make a movie to recruit me in advance, I will definitely be on call!
