Dad Academy

Smith's assistant soon came back to report that no works similar to the plot of "The Matrix" had been found.

This kind of thing is actually very early. Each major film company has its own film library. You can just enter keywords to search, or you can also consult some experts in this field.

It took an assistant a day to confirm that the script for "The Matrix" was original.

Smith used this day to study the script carefully and had to admit that there was a reason why Zhang Tan was so dominant in the Chinese film market. He was indeed a genius.

Smith loved some of the classic sequences in the script, such as bullet time.

At the same time, what interests him even more is that the core idea of ​​the story is very special and attractive.

He took the script and submitted it to the company for discussion.

He also participated in the seminar and gave a report.

Most people's opinions on the "Matrix" project are good, but there are also different opinions.

For example, some people think that integrating kung fu into science fiction movies would appear to be too confusing and would make the movie look different, so they are not optimistic about it.

Some people think that Zhang Tan was asked to cooperate with him in order to enter the Chinese film market. However, after reading the script of "The Matrix", it seems more like Zhang Tan used this opportunity to enter the overseas market and break into their own fortress.

Moreover, this guy praises kung fu in the movie, and all the action scenes of the characters in the movie are kung fu. It seems that he is very ambitious and wants to take the opportunity to promote Chinese culture overseas.

There are also a larger number of people who are worried about the investment in this movie.

Zhang Tan estimated the cost of this drama at US$60 million.

At that time, this was a huge investment in Hollywood. If the market responded coldly, the money would be wasted.

Although the plan proposed by Zhang Tan is that each of the two companies will invest 50% and share the risk equally, Art Life Film, a film company that plans to become more Westernized, is still worried. With such a large sum of money, if it loses everything, Art Life Film The company's vitality will be seriously damaged, which is too risky for a company that has just gone public.

In fact, in the final analysis, they did not have that strong confidence in Zhang Tan.

They recognized Zhang Tan's achievements, but when Zhang Tan had to invest heavily in the project from the beginning and he had never proven his ability in the science fiction genre, they still couldn't make up their minds.

Zhang Tan didn't know that Art Life Film Company was struggling with these conflicts. He was on the set of "The Pursuit of Happyness".

"This week, it took half a day to shoot Xiao Bai's scenes." Zhang Tongshun said.

The crew was taking a break, and Zhang Tongshun gave everyone fifteen minutes.

Zhang Tan and he were standing together chatting. At the same time, the crew in the crew was busy. They had just finished filming a plot, and now they had to change scenes and set up scenes. It was very busy.

"That's good." Zhang Tan said.

He said to himself that he would never arrange so many things for Xiaobai next time. He had to go to school from Monday to Friday, do homework in the evening, and shoot two movies on the weekend. He was too busy, even busier than him.

"Have a closing ceremony?" Zhang Tongshun asked.

When Zhang Yuchen's scene ended, there was no closing ceremony. Everyone just applauded to thank her and bid her farewell. It was called simple and grand.

When we get to Xiaobai, we have to hold a final ceremony.

Zhang Tan thought about it and decided not to go to such trouble. At the worst, he could buy a cake for the children, and the children would be very happy.

On the morning of Saturday, Xiao Bai's scenes ended earlier than expected. Before 11 o'clock in the morning, with Zhang Tongshun's cut, Xiao Bai's scenes in "The Pursuit of Happiness" were completed.

"Xiao Bai, your scene is finished, congratulations!" Zhang Tongshun said with a loudspeaker.

All the staff put down their work and stood up to applaud.

The crew burst into applause.

Xiaobai was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. His face instantly turned red, excited, excited, and a little shy.

She stood at the old man's feet, feeling confident and looking at everyone who was applauding her.

Zhang Tan reminded her: "Say thank you to everyone."

"Thank you everyone~" Xiaobai said.

At this time, the crowd separated, leaving a way, and then Xiaobai saw Liuliu, Dudu and others slowly walking with a small cart, and on the small cart was a huge cake.

Xiaobai was shocked, the cake was so big.

Xiba is here, and this cake is taller than Xiba.

Zhang Tan was also surprised. It was him who suggested the cake, but he didn't know that Zhang Tongshun had prepared such a big cake.

It was the little girlfriends who pushed the cake cart closer, and then formed a circle, surrounding Xiaobai in the middle.

They are very familiar with this series of operations. After all, they have done it often. When they want to eat cake, they find Boss Zhang, surround him, and sing happy birthday.

Zhang Tan suddenly felt a pulling sensation on his pants. When he looked down, he saw that it was Luliu pulling down his pants.

"Come out quickly~" Liuliu said.

Zhang Tan has been standing beside Xiaobai, so he is also surrounded by his best friends at this moment.

Obviously, he should not be in the circle, but outside it.

Liuliu dragged Zhang Tan out, but Zhang Tan could only stand aside in frustration, speechless, Da Yanyan was too disrespectful to him.

"Happy birthday, pig! Happy birthday, pig! Xiaobai, my baby! Happy birthday to you, duck—blow out the candles—" Luoliu clapped his hands, overflowing with enthusiasm.

Xi'er reminded her that there were no candles on the cake and there was no need to blow them out.

"It's not Xiaobai's birthday, hiahiahia, you are mistaken, Liuliu." Xi'er said with a smile.

Luoliu laughed, it would be better without candles.

"Then let's start eating - don't wait, let's melt -"

Luoliu couldn't wait. She had never seen such a big cake, just like Big Big Wolf saw the beautiful sheep appearing in front of her lazily and at the same time.

She really came to the right place today.

She almost stopped coming because yesterday she and Xiaobai had a fight. Xiaobai gave her a slap in the face, and she gave Xiaobai a mace.

But she forgot about it as soon as she slept, and only remembered it on the way there!

She is still quarreling and having a cold war with Xiaobai!

But now that you’re here, let’s come and take a look.

The main reason was that it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and the crew would start dinner in a little while, so it was better to go back after eating.

Otherwise, she would have to go home and eat the unpalatable food cooked by Zhu's mother.

If the food cooked by Zhu's mother is as delicious as that cooked by Dudu's mother Sun Dongdong, she will go home to eat every day and will never miss the restaurants outside.

Amidst everyone's congratulations, Xiaobai picked up the machete, cut the cake, and divided the cake among everyone.

At first, she cut it with great interest, but the cake was too big and there were too many people. She was exhausted, so she left it to her old man to do it, while she held the cake and gathered with her little girlfriends. share.

"You eat less."

"I didn't eat much~"

"You feel better after eating. Eat less. Don't eat when you're done."

"I can still eat some."

"You are not allowed to eat."

"hiahia, hum~"

Xiaobai saw that Xi'er had eaten a lot of cakes. This child couldn't control himself when it came to sweets, and he almost ate as much as pomegranates.

Xiaobai quickly pulled Xier away and refused to let her eat.

Xi'er smiled and struggled, but was irresistibly pulled away.

Liuliu gloated while eating the cake.

But the next second, she was horrified to find that she was also being pulled away. When she turned around, she saw it was Dudu!

"Dudu, what are you doing? What are you doing-"
