Chapter 1016: Join Marvel
Seeing this scene, Bi Kewen gave Xiao Yunhai a thumbs up, and said with admiration: "Mr. Xiao, it's no wonder that your magic special effects company is the best company in the industry, with a generous boss like you, how could they possibly be? Will it work well?"
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Magic has a total of 2,000 employees. According to the calculation of 200,000 per person, I will spend 400 million US dollars. In fact, my heart is bleeding now, and that is all my money."
After hearing this, Bikwen laughed and said, "I don't think you are distressed."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "You're right. They made billions of dollars for me, and I took out a tenth of it and gave them a bonus. What's wrong with that? Haha, this is a win-win situation. ."
Beekwen said: "I believe that if this matter spreads to the outside world, the whole of Hollywood will envy the magic effects staff."
Xiao Yunhai said proudly: "My goal is to make all my employees the envy and jealousy of other companies. Only in this way will they have a strong sense of satisfaction and pride, and my company will grow faster. "
Bi Kewen nodded, admiring Xiao Yunhai's approach in his heart.
Xiao Yunhai said: "Mr. Beekwen, are you free this afternoon? I want to invite you to dinner and discuss a very important matter."
Bikoven said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Xiao, it's such an unfortunate coincidence. Today is my granddaughter's birthday, and I need to go back to accompany her. Is there anything I can say here?"
"certainly."
Xiao Yunhai said solemnly: "Director Bikoven, I would like to formally invite you to sign up for our Marvel Comics work."
Bikoven was stunned and said, "You asked me to join Marvel? Are you going to start the Marvel Studios?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "I don't want to set up a company,
Instead, I want to set up a brokerage company under Marvel. I'm going to do those superhero movies from Marvel Comics. You know, these movies are very expensive, and almost every hero uses a lot of special effects, so I don't want to make wedding dresses for others. "
Bikwen nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. Mr. Xiao, I will consider your suggestion carefully."
"If you can come, all the comic book heroes, you can choose and shoot. Just like Lord of the Rings, there will be no problems with funding."
Xiao Yunhai didn't force Bikwen too much, but clicked to the point, then changed the topic and said, "In a few days, I'm going to shoot "X-Men", "Captain America", "Doctor Strange" at one time, and also There is a script "Iron Man" written by me, which is about 3 billion US dollars. It is all shot with 3D technology. It's just the director of the movie and the hero and heroine in the play. I don't want to use people from other companies. So if you have something suitable Please help me recommend a candidate."
Hearing that Xiao Yunhai was shooting four big movies in a row, still using 3D technology, Bi Kewen was suddenly shocked, and he could put down a big egg with his mouth open.
After a while, he digested this information, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Xiao, you are really generous. It seems that Weaver's "Resident Evil" is about to end, and the 20 billion US dollars has already become your pocket. thing."
Since Xiao Yunhai dared to shoot four 3D movies together, it means that the 3D movie technology is fully mature, otherwise, he would not have the courage.
Thinking that fans can feel the charm of the movie immersively, Bikov felt a little pity for Weaver.
As a well-known technology controller in Hollywood, he is very clear that the maturity of 3D special effects technology is a technological revolution in film history. Even if Weaver's "Resident Evil" plot is ten times better than "2012", it is impossible to beat Xiao Yunhai at the box office. What's more, would Kung Fu Xiao's movies be that bad?
As for his own joining Marvel Comics, Bikwen really has this will. Compared with 21st Century Fox, Xiao Yunhai is obviously more in line with his wishes.
First, Xiao Yunhai is rich, even if he makes another movie that burns money like "The Lord of the Rings", Xiao Yunhai will support it; secondly, the two are both directors, and they have a lot of common language in movies, just starting from "The Lord of the Rings" "In this matter, you can see the difference between Xiao Yunhai and 21st Century Fox.
At the beginning, Bikoven took the script and approached the president of Fox no less than ten times. Each time the other party hesitated, and the final result was no result.
This made Beekwen so disappointed with the company that he had to seek help from other companies.
In terms of reason, Marvel is the best choice for Beekwen, but after all, after spending a lifetime at Fox, it is impossible to say that there is no emotion.
Reason and emotion make Kevin's heart fall into a great contradiction.
Back home, Bikoven spent a wonderful birthday with his little granddaughter.
After eating the cake, Bikoven stood in front of the window with a cup of coffee, lost in thought.
His wife knew her husband's habits, and he would do it whenever he was in trouble.
"Dear, today is my granddaughter's birthday, can you not frown? Did you encounter any trouble again? Say it, and I may be able to help you."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done this," Beekwen said.
The wife asked, "Can you tell me what happened?"
Beekwen recounted the fact that Fox wanted him to renew his contract and Xiao Yunhai invited him to join Marvel, and said, "Dear, if it were you, which one would you choose?"
Bikwen's wife used to be the editor-in-chief of a magazine. Although she resigned three years ago to become a full-time wife at home, she has always been very concerned about the entertainment industry. Xiao Yunhai's name has long been known.
"Honey, I think you should follow your heart. When I was at a party the other day, I heard that Fox's finances were in serious trouble, and it seemed like a big Wall Street consortium wanted to buy it. Of course it's just Gossip, I can't confirm it. But whether it's true or not, compared to Mr. Xiao, who has a lot of money and is also a director, it really doesn't have the slightest appeal."
"Darling, you are in your fifties this year, and you can still make a few years of movies. If you come across "The Lord of the Rings" again, do you think Fox will give you a chance to shoot? And at that time, even if Mr. Xiao was optimistic about you, And definitely won't invest again, because Marvel has its own directors and actors."
"On the contrary, if you are in Marvel, you only need to discuss with Mr. Xiao with the script, as long as you persuade him, everything will be solved. More importantly, you are not restricted by the producer, you can do whatever you want. Intent to shoot. Don't you think that's a very good thing?"
Hearing his wife's long speech, the balance in Bi Kewen's heart turned to Xiao Yunhai, and he smiled bitterly: "Actually, I know you are right, and I have already made a choice in my heart. It's just that I have left my job for more than 20 years. My boss, I'm just a little uncomfortable."
Beekwen is a hard-hitting guy, and like his movies, once a resolution is made, it is immediately implemented.
That night, he called Xiao Yunhai and told him that he was willing to join Marvel Comics.
Xiao Yunhai was overjoyed. After speaking with Bikwen, he immediately asked Raul to sign a contract before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and then went to the Magic Special Effects Company to find him.
Raul was naturally very happy to have Bikoven, the most famous magic director in Hollywood, to join him. He had a serious discussion with Xiao Yunhai about the contents of the contract, and then hung up the phone.
