Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 473 Making an Animated Movie for Xiao Xinxin
Reba nodded and continued: "Yes, sister, the production and publicity cost of "Interstellar" is too high, while the cost of "Source Code" is less than one-fifth of it."

"Plus the box office is so good, so the profit is higher."

I have to say that Reba's ability has been tempered very, very well now, and he can handle these things on his own.

Zhang Xiao thought for a while, and said, "I will keep [-] million US dollars for the movie, and leave the rest to your sister."

When Reba heard that Zhang Xiao was going to make a movie again, he widened his eyes and asked, "Brother-in-law, didn't you say that you will take a break this year and stay at home with my sister and Xiao Xinxin? Why are you going to make a movie again?"

Zhang Xiao explained with a smile: "I want to make an animated film for Xiao Xinxin. I have already thought of the name, and it is called "Frozen"."

This animated film, when it was on earth, was a very famous series of animated films produced by Disney.

In this world now, "Frozen" doesn't exist at all, and Zhang Xiao, the king of leaks, just happened to be cheap.

Yang Mi's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she said, "Okay, okay, when Xiao Xinxin grows up, she will be very happy to know that Dad made an animation movie just for her."

"Brother-in-law, you should have spent less than [-] million U.S. dollars to make "Frozen"!" Reba said in disbelief.

Zhang Xiao explained with a wry smile: "For a 3D animation movie, if you want to make it beautiful, you have to be willing to invest in it. Two hundred million US dollars is just a conservative figure, and maybe it will have to be added later."

Yang Mi thought for a while and asked, "Are you planning to release it globally?"

"That's right." Zhang Xiao nodded and continued: "I want the whole world to know that "Frozen" is a gift I gave to my daughter, making Xiao Xinxin the envy of children all over the world. "

When Yang Mi heard it, she immediately smiled and said, "That's great, husband, has your script come out yet?"

Zhang Xiao raised his finger and pointed to his head, and said, "It's all here. I'll start writing the script and drawing pictures tomorrow, and try to finish it within half a month."

···
The next day, Zhang Xiao came to the Huaguo Red Cross Society and donated a check of [-] million yuan in the name of Zhang Ruixin for the construction of Hope Primary School and Orphanage.

The president of the Huaguo Red Cross Society personally came out to receive Zhang Xiao and expressed his gratitude to Zhang Xiao.

Soon, Zhang Xiao's donation was announced on the official website of the Red Cross.

Immediately aroused the admiration of netizens.

"Really donating [-] million yuan, it's simply too generous."

"Is there anyone who can calculate how much Xiao Shen donated in total?"

"It's almost 40 billion!"

"Xiao Shen is the star who really does charity!"

"If you are poor, you will be good for yourself; if you are rich, you will benefit the world. Xiao Shen has fulfilled this sentence."

"I checked just now. As of today, Xiao Shen has built more than 800 primary schools, more than 300 orphanages, and more than 690 are under construction."

"Oh my God, I really love Xiao Shen to death."

"It is strongly recommended that Xiao Shen open the donation channel, I want to donate."

"Donate the money to God Xiao, I'm at ease."

"Am I the only one who noticed Xiaoshen's little princess named Zhang Ruixin?"

"I noticed it too, okay, the name sounds nice!"

"···"

That night, the news broadcast spent a full three minutes talking about Zhang Xiao’s charitable deeds. There were not only pictures of his donations, but also videos of Hope Primary Schools and orphanages in remote areas after they were built.

The director of the Culture Department personally issued a document, calling on the stars in the entertainment industry to learn from Zhang Xiao and use his influence to do charity work.

For a time, Zhang Xiao's prestige reached an unprecedented height in Huaguo.

However, Zhang Xiao, who has always been very low-key, doesn't like this kind of thing.

As the saying goes, if a tree is beautiful in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind.

I didn't set up a charitable foundation, didn't use my fame to solicit donations from fans, and even asked for censorship, which already made many celebrities who set up funds feel a little uncomfortable.

Now ZF has set him as a benchmark again, directly making him the target of public criticism.

Although Zhang Xiao is not afraid of them at all, there is no need to make everyone feel uncomfortable because of some false names.

Therefore, Zhang Xiao kept a low profile. Apart from being with his wife and children at home, there was almost no news about him from the outside world.

Of course, he is not idle, writing the script and storyboard of "Frozen" every day.

In general live-action scripts, the most important thing is the story, and the requirements for the shot script are not high, but it is different for animated films.

Since all the things in it are imagined by people, it is a test of the school screenwriter's imagination and drawing ability.

If the painting is not good, those special effects artists don't know what to do.

As a god-level director, Zhang Xiao naturally has very good drawing skills.

He bought the script and storyboards of "Frozen" from the system, and he only needs to draw them out of his mind, which is purely manual labor.

But even so, it still took Zhang Xiao half a month to complete "Frozen".

"Honey, this is the script and storyboard of "Frozen" I wrote for our little Xinxin. Take a look and give me some advice!" Zhang Xiao handed the thick piece of paper to Yang Mi and said.

Yang Mi smiled, and said: "Our director Zhang Da's script must be very good. I don't have the ability to give you advice!"

Zhang Xiaodao: "This is our little Xinxin's exclusive animation movie, you better be serious as a mother."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes helplessly, and said, "All right, all right, I'll take a good look, the head office will do it!"

Turning to the first page, Yang Mi was immediately attracted by the two beautiful little girls on it.

"Wow, so beautiful!" Yang Mi couldn't help blurting out.

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "The two protagonists of this movie."

Yang Mi gave him a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Husband, your painting skills have improved again!"

Zhang Xiaodao: "This is a compulsory course for directors, and although I haven't drawn for a long time, I still have the basics. Don't just look at the picture, the most important thing is the story."

"Okay, I see."

···
Two hours later, Yang Mi, who finished reading the book of "Frozen" in one breath, let out a long sigh.

"How is it?" Zhang Xiao asked quickly.

Yang Mi looked at Zhang Xiao with burning eyes, and said, "Husband, you are really amazing. I think this animated film will definitely be loved by children all over the world once it is released."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "As long as you are satisfied!"

Yang Mi put her arms around Zhang Xiao's neck and said, "Husband, Xiao Xinxin is lucky to have such an excellent father like you."

Zhang Xiao glanced at Xiao Xinxin next to him, shook his head and said with a smile, "It should be said that we are lucky to have such a well-behaved and lovely daughter."

"Wow~~~"

As soon as the words fell, a clear and loud crying sounded.

Yang Mi smiled helplessly and said: "Yes, this little girl is really our blessing."

Zhang Xiao laughed out loud.
