Chapter 768
July has passed, August has arrived, and half of it has passed quickly. Jiang Xiao's personal life is basically spent on the set of "Edge of Tomorrow", which is a bit monotonous.
It's just work. After all, since I'm in the capital, my rest time when I'm not filming is rich and colorful.
Moreover, this time the filming was not in a constant rush like previous movies, and there was enough rest time.
No, even Kim Tae Hee and IU secretly followed Bae Suzy, who was traveling to China for filming, to China during this period. Of course, they were separate, not together.
Coincidentally, two Sakura girls, Baba Fumika and Michishige Sayumi, also met during a transaction between Aragaki Yui and completed their first trip to China together.

A few days later, in the studio where the "Edge of Tomorrow" crew was located.
"I announce that "Edge of Tomorrow" is finished!"
"Oh~!!!"
As the last scene passed smoothly, and director Lin Shi stood up and loudly announced the completion of the filming with a loudspeaker, the entire set immediately fell into a sea of joy.
I filmed from March to August. In five months, I also went to Singapore, Australia, Japan and other countries for filming. It was not easy to travel all the way.
After all, when a perfect plan is executed, various surprises will still occur.
Fortunately, through the concerted efforts of everyone, all problems were successfully solved, which is inevitable, otherwise how would the movie be completed?
"As a director, the movie is finished, and I have to thank everyone, because it is..."
After the cheers, director Lin Shi also thanked the audience sincerely.
"Hua hua hua~~!!!"
In the end, Lin Shi's sincere thanks naturally won applause from everyone in the audience.
Even Jiang Xiao was heckled by everyone in the end and said a few words. He didn't show any pretense. He took the loudspeaker and said loudly: "I won't say any more words of thanks. Anyway, Director Lin just said it, so I will look forward to it."
Let’s talk about the future.”
"'Edge of Tomorrow' is Lemon's largest-invested film to date, and it seems to be China's first real science fiction film. No matter what, I hope the film can be successful, and I believe this is what everyone here is willing to do.
"
"Of course, some friends must be thinking, oh, I'm just here to earn a salary. No matter how good the box office is, Jiang Xiao won't give me a cent. Come on, be honest. Does anyone think this way?"
As they talked, Jiang Xiao started to interact.
In the end, a smiling voice actually shouted: "Yes!"
"Okay, then this time I really want to give everyone a penny. Of course, I don't mean to give just one penny."
"Ha~!!!"
There was a burst of laughter.
Jiang Xiao paused for a moment and then quickly continued: "Anyway, I'll start here today. As long as "Edge of Tomorrow" can make money, how about I personally give 10 million to everyone?"
"Okay~!!!"
When they heard that Jiang Xiao really wanted to give away 10 million, everyone in the audience naturally applauded.
As for the question of whether it can make money, it is natural to just ignore it. Regardless of whether you believe it blindly or not, the person in front of you seems to have never made a loss in a movie he has participated in. This naturally gives people great confidence.
"Okay, then it's settled. I, Jiang Xiao, keep my word, and let's hope that "Edge of Tomorrow" will be a success and a box office hit!"
This behavior may have been spur of the moment, but Jiang Xiao didn't really care. It was only 10 million, just think of it as a way to win people's hearts.
Furthermore, he has always been very generous, and Lemon has always been well-known in the industry.
Let’s just talk about Zhou Xingxing. The reason why he was “betrayed and separated from his relatives” was not because he really shut down the people around him.
Don't talk about having a weird temper. Be more generous to the people around you. I believe that no matter how weird your temper is, it won't cause almost everyone to fall out.
Even my girlfriend of more than ten years is in a lawsuit over money, seemingly without any love. Although she has a successful career and is recognized by movie fans, it is really disappointing to be like this.
“A box office hit!”
Under Jiang Xiao's instigation, everyone in the audience also followed suit.
No matter what, regardless of Jiang Xiao's unexpected promise at this moment, no one wants a work they have participated in to fail.
If it really sells billions at the box office, how can it be used to brag to its peers... No.

"Director Guo Fan, do you have time to chat?"
When a movie is finished, it's a movie. It certainly doesn't mean that you can leave immediately after filming. Such a large crew also needs to be cleaned up, and it can't even be completed today.
Jiang Xiao himself could leave first, but as he happened to think of something, he came over and found the assistant director Guo Fan.
"Teacher Jiang, are you looking for me?"
Hearing this, although Guo Fan himself was surprised, he naturally stopped what he was doing immediately.
After all, he now knows that it was this person who gave him the special permission to join the "Edge of Tomorrow" crew halfway.
To be honest, this was a great harvest for Guo Fan, and he was very lucky to have this luck.
"Yes, let me be frank. I want to ask if you are interested in helping Lemon make a movie, or a science fiction film."
Jiang Xiao got straight to the point and told him the reason why he came to see Guo Fan.
"I am willing, of course I am. Thank you, Teacher Jiang, for taking this seriously. I also hope to have more training opportunities so that I can direct a science fiction film in the future."
Although he was stunned for a moment, no matter from what aspect, Guo Fan could not find any reason to refuse if he could continue to cooperate with Lemon.
"You don't have to wait for the future. I'm looking for you because I want you to direct, not to let you continue to be an assistant director or something. Lemon happens to have a project on his hands. It's "The Wandering Earth" by Liu Cixin. Have you seen it?"
"Look, I've seen it, of course I've seen it, no, Teacher Jiang, you, you want me to direct it?"
After subconsciously answering, Guo Fan couldn't believe that Jiang Xiao actually asked him to direct. This felt... too sudden.
Although he is not completely unknown, he has officially made two movies, and even had a youth movie "My Deskmate" which did well at the box office.
To be honest, Guo Fan personally also likes science fiction, otherwise he would not have come to work on the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow", but he was suddenly asked to take over a science fiction work, which was still a bit unprepared.
Even after experiencing the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow", he felt that there was still a lot to learn, but he didn't expect that an opportunity would fall from the sky at this time.
"Of course, you direct, why, aren't you willing?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao asked.
"No, no, I'm willing to do it, but I'm afraid that it won't work well. The investment in a science fiction movie will definitely not be small. I have learned a lot after staying on the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow" for so long, and I feel that I still need to learn more."
Guo Fan can be said to have confessed his true feelings.
"Of course, no matter how experienced a director is, he must keep making progress to avoid being eliminated. Don't think too much about it. Just shoot seriously. At least you are no longer crossing the river by feeling the stones."
"In this way, you don't have to make a decision now. You can go to Lemon to see Mr. Han at any time. I will tell her."
"No, thanks to Teacher Jiang's approval, I am willing to direct "The Wandering Earth"."
When the opportunity comes, Guo Fan has the right to let it go.
Moreover, what Jiang Xiao said was right, and others were willing to believe him, so he had nothing to hesitate about.
"Okay, then it's settled!"
Since Guo Fan directly agreed again, Jiang Xiao was happy and relaxed.
Although he didn't say that he had to let the other party direct "The Wandering Earth", he believed that a replacement director could be found in China.
But after all, Guo Fan now has experience on the set of "Edge of Tomorrow", so he is considered a more suitable candidate.

It was night, at the elevator entrance of a certain hotel.
"Eh!"
