Chapter 672 Jiao Fangtao's Request

After eating in the courtyard at noon, Xiao Yunhai drove to a teahouse called Bisheng, and the director Jiao Fangtao invited him over for tea.

Xiao Yunhai walked to the box on the second floor and saw Jiao Fangtao and Wu Jun who were waiting for him.

Xiao Yunhai sat on the chair and said with a smile, "Director Jiao, Teacher Wu, why are you free to invite me for tea today?"

Since "Fengshen Bang", Jiao Fangtao has been shooting his movie "Xiao Cui", which was completed in August, and then stayed at Xiao Yunhai's magic special effects company to do post-production special effects.

When Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing got married, he went there, but he didn't have time to chat.

Jiao Fangtao poured a cup of tea for Xiao Yunhai and said with a smile, "Yunhai, congratulations to your "Infernal Affairs" for being a big hit. Your play really shows the momentum of our domestic movie."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Director Jiao has won the award. I heard that your "Xiao Cui" finished the post-production a week ago. I don't know when you are going to release it?"

Wu Jun said: "That's why Director Jiao and I came to you."

Xiao Yunhai was stunned for a moment, and said, "I don't know how I can help you?"

Jiao Fangtao said: "Yunhai, I would like to take the liberty to ask, are you a shareholder of major Hollywood theater chains?"

Some time ago, Jiao Fangtao has been staying in Hollywood, and he is very clear about the small and medium-sized film companies suing the eight major film companies for the monopoly of cinema chains.

Vaguely, he heard that a Chinese person spent a lot of money to buy shares in several theater chains, helping companies such as MGM and Warner to gain control.

After seeing that Xiao Yunhai easily put "Heroes of Heroes" and "Infernal Affairs" in major theaters in North America, Jiao Fangtao immediately guessed that the Chinese man was probably Xiao Yunhai.

So, this was what Xiao Yunhai asked.

Xiao Yunhai said in surprise, "How did Director Jiao know?"

Jiao Fangtao said happily: "It really is you. I'm just guessing."

With an unbelievable look on Wu Jun's face, he said, "Yunhai, you are really amazing. In just over two years, you have done something that others can't do in ten lifetimes. I, Wu Jun, are convinced of you. "

Xiao Yunhai waved his hand quickly and said, "Mr. Wu is serious. Since the two of you have started this topic, wouldn't you want to release "Xiao Cui" in major theaters in North America?"

Jiao Fangtao nodded and said, "That's right. I wonder what you think?"

Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "Director Jiao, don't blame me for being too straightforward. Movies like "Xiao Cui" are really not suitable for foreign movie fans, they simply can't understand it."

Jiao Fangtao and Wu Jun met and smiled, and at the same time showed a look that was as expected.

Jiao Fangtao said: "Yunhai, I have naturally considered your question, so I made two versions at once. One is internal and the other is external. If you are free now, I would like to invite you to the projection room of Huihuang Film and Television Company. take a look."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "It seems that the two teachers are well prepared. No problem, let's go now."

Soon, the three came to the building of the Brilliant Film and Television Company. After the boss Chu Heng got the news, he brought the hero and heroine of the movie downstairs to greet them in person.

After Xiao Yunhai saw Chu Heng, he hurriedly came to him, held his hand, and said, "Mr. Chu, how can I, Xiao Yunhai, how can I, how dare you come down in person?"

Chu Heng laughed and said: "It should be. Mr. Xiao came to the Brilliant Film and Television Company in person, let us be Pengpishenghui here. Let me introduce to you, this is Zheng Ge, the hero of the movie "Xiaocui", don't look at it He is young, but his acting skills are very good, and I would like to ask you to take care of him in the future."

Zheng Ge smiled and said, "President Chu, in front of Mr. Xiao, don't mention your age and acting skills. Compared with Mr. Xiao, I'm really ashamed."

Xiao Yunhai shook hands with him and said, "Mr. Zheng is very polite. Since Director Jiao can let you play the leading role, he indirectly explains your acting skills. Sister Lan, we haven't seen you for a long time."

It was Xiao Yunhai who played Xiao Cui, the heroine Lan Xin when she made a cameo in "Wulin". I heard that she went home to have a baby after filming "Wulin", but I didn't expect her comeback so soon.

Lan Xin smiled charmingly and said, "I knew you were not in the pool from the beginning. I didn't expect that in just two years of hard work, you have reached the point where no one in the world knows you. It's really amazing."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Sister Lan has won the prize. President Chu, let's hurry up and watch a movie. I need to pick you up at the airport at 6 o'clock in the afternoon."

Chu Heng smiled and said, "Okay, let's go over right away."

Everyone chatted and laughed and went upstairs together.

A service desk lady next to her stared at Xiao Yunhai, her eyes full of stars, until everyone entered the elevator, and then she said with a look of admiration: "Oh my god, I finally saw Yun Huang himself, so handsome. Yeah. As expected of my idol."

Another lady at the service desk said, "Yes. It would be great if I could have a word with him, and take a picture with him."

The six came to the screening room, and the movie started quickly.

Xiao Yunhai had read "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai", and he still had some impressions of Xiao Cui's article.

Obviously, Jiao Fangtao performed a major operation on it. It is no longer a simple story of repaying the kindness of a spirit fox, but a great expansion to the outside world, focusing on depicting the life-threatening relationship between Xiao Cui and Wang Yuanzhi. Love, during the period, there even appeared the Montenegrin old demon and the Shushan sword sect. In Xiao Yunhai's eyes, it was a collection of Xiaocui and a Chinese Ghost Story.

The special effects are very beautiful and realistic. The Shushan Sword Sect is like a fairyland on earth. Xiaocui's body, the nine-tailed spirit fox, is even more dazzling and eye-catching. In addition to the exquisite costumes, plump plots, and vivid characters, the overall look Come on, it is indeed a rare fairy movie.

It's just that what Xiao Yunhai sees is a bit nondescript, and the Chinese mythological masterpiece is spoken in English, and it always feels a little weird.

Of course, he also knew that this might be his own reason. If a foreigner came to see it, he would not necessarily feel this way.

Jiao Fangtao obviously put a lot of effort into this version, especially the lines, which were translated very well.

The movie runs for 120 minutes in total, and it ends with Wang Yuanzhi and Xiao Cui working together to kill the old black mountain demon who destroyed Shushan.

After the movie, Chu Heng, Jiao Fangtao and others all looked at Xiao Yunhai.

Xiao Yunhai smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Chu spent a lot of money on this movie, right?"

Chu Heng nodded and said, "A total of 150 million. Among them, the special effects cost 630 million."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Mr. Chu, I didn't cheat you. If nothing else, it's just the scenery of Shushan, and it won't come down without 100 million. The special effects are actually burning money, and a scene that passes in the blink of an eye may be lost. It costs millions or even tens of millions. Jiao Dao has done such meticulous work on this, and it is impossible without the cost of hundreds of millions."

Jiao Fangtao sighed and said, "Yeah. Just like the body of the nine-tailed spirit fox from Blue Heart, it took the magic effects artist a full month to create. I have to say, they are really amazing. I want to thank you. If you go to other Hollywood companies to do it, you won't have to think about the effect of it without a billion."

Lan Xin smiled and said, "Yunhai, what do you think about this movie being shown abroad? Can it sell well?"
