Chapter 1017 Signing a Contract

At 8:30 the next morning, Xiao Yunhai came to the magic special effects company.

As soon as he arrived at his office, Xiao Yunhai saw Raul and Daniel standing at the door chatting.

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Raul, you came quite early."

Raul said: "Boss, there is a saying in China that there are more dreams in the night. Director Bi Kewen is one of the top five commercial directors in Hollywood. I don't want the boiled duck to fly."

Xiao Yunhai opened the door, let the two of them in, and said, "Raul, if Director Bikoven hears you compare it to a duck, it is estimated that things that could have been promised will be messed up."

Raul smiled bitterly: "Boss, you know that's not what I meant."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Okay, take out the contract and show it to me."

Raul took out the agreement from his bag, handed it to Xiao Yunhai, and said, "Boss, are the conditions we offered too good?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Do you think we Marvel will not be able to keep Director Bikoven? Don't worry, there will be no problem. However, other directors and actors don't have this treatment."

After reading the agreement, Xiao Yunhai nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I will handle the matter of director Bi Kewen. You two can go to the building. As long as it does not exceed 2 billion and is suitable for our work, you can do it. Just settle down."

Daniel smiled and said: "Okay, let's go now. Hehe, I feel a burst of excitement when I think of having a skyscraper of my own soon."

Raul also nodded in agreement.

After the two went out, Xiao Yunhai called Bi Kewen and asked him to come to the office.

I saw some redness in my eyes,

Xiao Yunhai, who seemed to have not slept all night, sighed and said: "Mr. Beekwen, it seems that you are really a person with rich feelings. If you are really sad about this in your heart, I can take it as last night. never heard before."

Bikwen shook his head and said, "I have made a decision. After talking to you last night, I called Flake, the boss of 21st Century Fox. When I learned that I planned to join Marvel , Flake persuaded me for more than half an hour. But when I went to the end, he even scolded me, saying that I forgot my righteousness, and repaid my kindness. Alas, he disappointed me too much. "

Xiao Yunhai frowned, secretly thinking that it is no wonder that the 21st Century Fox Film Company is going downhill, and it is no wonder that a short-sighted boss like Flake can get better.

Beekwen is one of the best directors in Hollywood, and he has stayed at Fox for more than 20 years. Even if he goes to another company, he will still think of some incense when he is shooting a movie. Under the same conditions, he will definitely give priority to selection. Artists of their company.

Now it's good, after his trouble, this incense love is completely broken.

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "You don't have to be too sad. You will definitely feel very comfortable when you arrive at Marvel Comics. Director Bi Kewen, this is the contract we have proposed for you, you can take a good look at it."

Bikoven took over the contract and looked at it seriously.

Two minutes later, Bikoven raised his head in surprise, raised the page of the contract in his hand, and said incredulously, "This is for me?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Of course."

Beekwen said with a wry smile: "This is the most generous contract for our director I've ever seen."

Indeed, the good treatment Xiao Yunhai gave him was beyond words. The contract period is one year, and if you feel uncomfortable, you can leave at will after one year. He chooses the superheroes under Marvel at will, the company fully invests, and he has the final say in all the crew affairs. If there are other suitable scripts, refer to the terms above....

There are very few items on the contract, and the simplicity is almost unacceptable, which makes Bikoven feel a sense of death for his confidant.

Forcibly suppressing his emotions, Bikwen said, "Aren't you afraid that I will leave in a year?"

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said confidently: "Once you join Marvel, you should never think about leaving, because this place gives us directors and actors the greatest freedom."

"Will other directors and actors do the same?" Beekwan asked.

Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Of course not. It's not easy to get a contract like yours, they must show their value. However, compared to other film companies, Marvel is the most generous. Director Beekwen, do you sign or not?"

Bi Kewen picked up the pen, wrote his name on it, and said, "I am afraid that no director will refuse such a treatment. Mr. Xiao, I am your subordinate now, and I will ask you to take care of me in the future."

Xiao Yunhai put away the contract and laughed: "To be exact, we should be partners. I believe that you will not regret the decision you made today in the future."

Beekwen said: "I think so too. Mr. Xiao, the post-production of the first "Lord of the Rings" will be finished in a week. When are you going to release it?"

Xiao Yunhai thought about it for a while, and said, "In mid-July. At the end of June, "Battle of the Red Cliff", which I invested in and starred in, will be released in major European and American theaters."

Bikwen said: "Although I have been doing the later stages of "The Lord of the Rings", I also saw on the Internet that Paramount will use "Assassin" to snipe your "Battle of Chibi", do you really want to fight it head-on? ?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "I have no choice. What we Chinese people value most is our face. No matter how strong the enemy is, I will never retreat before a battle."

Xiao Yunhai is very clear that compared with "Assassin", "Battle of Chibi" is inherently inferior. After all, this is an ancient Chinese war film, and it is hard to say whether European and American fans can accept it. "

Therefore, Xiao Yunhai really has no confidence in the showdown between "Battle of Chibi" and "Assassin". But no matter what, even if he lost to "Assassin" at the box office in the end, Xiao Yunhai couldn't lose to the other party in terms of momentum.

After returning from New York, Xiao Yunhai directly allocated 100 million US dollars to the publicity department of Marvel Comics for the promotion of "Battle of Chibi", allowing them to carry out all-round publicity in Europe and the United States.

Paramount is not to be outdone. There is still half a month before the release of "Assassin", and their directors have begun to run around with the actors, and their momentum is much larger than that of Marvel.

Xiao Yunhai suffers from the actor's acclimatization. Apart from him, other actors are not famous in the United States. Even if they go to some shows, the effect is not much better, because no fans know them.

Therefore, he can only attract the attention of fans with five trailers carefully crafted by Wu Zixu.

Fortunately, the effect seems to be not bad, at least the number of clicks of the trailer of "Battle of Chibi" is not under "Assassin".

Bikwen said: "If "Battle of Chibi" loses, do you want to use "Lord of the Rings" as a counter-sniper? I believe that my film is absolutely unmatched."

Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "The Lord of the Rings has a greater use. I heard that next month, Paramount will release a hot action blockbuster, but there is no specific release date. The so-called come and don't Indecent assault, my goal is it."

"Not only that, but the next four 3D superhero blockbusters from Marvel will come to Paramount. Didn't they make a lot of films? As long as they dare to release it next year, I will choose to release it on the same day. I don't have the surname Xiao."

Beekwen smiled and said: "You are really rude and must report. Paramount has provoked you, which is a big bad luck. It's just that everyone has already started filming, and you haven't prepared yet. Can you catch up?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "I'm worried about this. All the big Hollywood directors have been robbed by the major film companies. Let me find a suitable one. By the way, do you have any good candidates?"

Bikoven thought for a while and said, "I can recommend two people to you. One is James, who was the most famous TV drama director in America when he was young. He likes to make intense action movies. After he was forty years old, he moved to the big screen. In addition to the success of the first one, his other three films have all failed. Hollywood has abandoned it, but I know that his ability is very strong, but it is limited by funds, otherwise there will be no question."

"The other is Harley, who has a bad reputation in Hollywood, scolding his boss, and fighting with producers on the set. He is a daring guy who dares to do anything. Because of his temper, he was banned by his own company, Warner, five years ago. Last year, his contract has expired, and I heard that he is looking for a company to take him recently. Although this person has a bad temper, he has made three very good movies and made a lot of money for Warner. "

Xiao Yunhai wrote the names of the two people on the notebook and smiled: "Okay, I've written them all down. After I go back, I'll take a look at their films. If it's suitable, I'll ask Raul to contact them right away."

Beekwen said: "I hope they can catch your eye. As for actors, the most important thing in Hollywood is excellent actors. After the director is selected, you can let them organize a large-scale audition, and I believe you will be able to find the most suitable ones. actor."

Xiao Yunhai said: "I hope so."
