Chapter 1090 Interview
On October 20, "Battle of Chibi 2" starring Xiao Yunhai was released worldwide.
Because of the high reputation and box office of the first film, "Battle of Chibi 2" received a good result of 248 million US dollars on the night of its premiere, and the word of mouth was even more overwhelming.
At this time, the major film companies and media have become numb. Watching the situation of "Battle of Chibi 2", it is definitely no problem to break four billion.
Three consecutive films broke four billion in one month, which almost broke the record of the film company.
Since Xiao Yunhai owns 7,000 screens, plus 30% of the shares of Xinhua Cinema, just relying on these three films, the profit has reached a terrifying 7.84 billion US dollars.
You know, this has not yet calculated network revenue and peripheral revenue.
Not to mention anything else, the Marvel Toy Factory has sold more than 2 million sets of "Kung Fu Panda" toy sets alone, earning more than 300 million yuan.
On October 25th, Xiao Yunhai's manor house welcomed several special guests. They were American "Time" reporter Kate Dennings and his team.
The reason why I chose to be in Los Angeles is because Xiao Yunhai has been running around the world in the last ten days, taking Liang Hui, Yu Yuexian and others everywhere to promote "2012".
When receiving the call, Xiao Yunhai was holding a publicity meeting in New York, and the next stop was BBC TV in Los Angeles. Therefore, Xiao Yunhai chose the manor villa.
Before the interview, Xiao Yunhai said to Kat Dennings with a smile: "Miss Denings, can you mention my "2012" when we are interviewing later. You know, there are still six days left for this film The movie is about to meet the fans.”
Kat Dennings smiled. "Of course. That's the point of my interview."
soon,
The preparations are done, and the interview officially begins.
After Kat Dennings briefly said a few opening remarks, she said, "The guest of our exclusive interview with Time Magazine today is Yunhai Xiao. In October, the movies he made can be said to have swept the world. Marvel's cartoons "Kung Fu Panda" earned $4.258 billion, the superhero "Spider-Man 2" earned $4.081 billion, and "Battle of Chibi 2", which is currently being shown, has hit $2.838 billion at the box office, and is likely to break through five The billion mark. Three films in a row have made Xiao and Marvel popular all over the world. Mr. Xiao, say hello to our audience members of Time Magazine."
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand towards the camera and said, "Hello everyone, I'm director Xiao Yunhai."
Kat Dennings asked: "Mr. Xiao, did you think that the box office results of the three films this month would be so good?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "I have always been very confident in my films. "Kung Fu Panda" was carefully produced by more than 100 staff members and took eight months to make. Needless to say, "Battle of Chibi 2", the first The quality of the first one is there. "Spider-Man 2" has put a lot of effort into the visual effects. In order to be able to complete it in time for November 1st, the magic special effects company can be said to have exhausted its efforts. It has paid so much. , I'm not surprised that three films can earn more than $4 billion at the box office."
Kat Dennings smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao seems very confident. Can you tell me how much your three films will bring you?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said: "I really don't know. You know, it's too troublesome to calculate these things. I have my own economic team now, and they are responsible for this aspect of things. However, if you estimate, it's almost There could be around seven billion dollars.”
"It's amazing. Three movies made more than seven billion in profits, which is comparable to the annual revenue of a major film company. Since the film industry is so profitable, why did you sell North American film companies before? "
"This is my economic advisor's proposal, and of course I agree with it. The main reason is that the competition in theaters is too fierce. Take North America as an example. In the past, only the theaters of the eight major film companies could cover the entire North America. In addition to them, there are two more theaters, Yanhuang and Paramount, and the screen has more than tripled. Therefore, I sold the theaters and invested in other industries that can bring me more benefits. "
"Mr. Xiao, after our serious investigation by Time Magazine, the various industries you invest in are indeed very promising, and compared to cinemas, the competition is much smaller. You know that your assets are now on the world's richest list. Where are you ranked?"
"How many? Do you mean I'm in the top ten?"
"That's right. After our detailed investigation, you are ranked eighth on the rich list with a fortune of $392 billion. The youngest of the other nine are over forty years old. It can be said that you have created a Miracle. How did you feel when you heard the news?"
"To be honest, I really don't have much interest in your rich list. Even if I became the richest man in the world, I wouldn't feel very proud. For me, I am an artist first, and I am second. A businessman. The achievement of such achievements in business is mainly due to the credit of the company's employees, and I sometimes feel a little ashamed of it."
"So, the salary you pay to your company's employees is generally several times higher than outside."
Xiao Yunhai said: "I don't know how much higher. I only know one thing, that is, if the company makes a profit, the employees should also make profits. The company has achieved great development, and the employees should also get rich returns. Only in this way can we give They have a sense of ownership and responsibility, and employees will work hard for the company. Last time, Magic Company spent 400 million US dollars in half-year awards alone, and everyone can get at least 200,000."
"Don't you feel bad?"
"Why should I feel bad? They make so much money for me, and it's normal for me to reward them with some of it. I feel like they deserve it. Magic can run without me. It's great, but without them, it's really screwed."
"No wonder everyone is saying that you are the most generous boss in Hollywood. What are you busy with recently?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "With my creative team, I will promote "2012" all over the world."
Kat Dennings asked: "I heard that this is the first 3D movie, which can give fans an immersive feeling. Do you really think that the future movies will be 3D?"
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Of course. Take my "2012" as an example. When catastrophes such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, mudslides, floods, tsunamis, etc. all happened in front of you, you How would it feel?"
"I would probably be very frightened and shocked."
"So my movie only got an R rating, because it's too real. If you are a movie fan with a bad heart, I'm afraid something bad will happen. So I remind everyone again that any movie fan with heart disease or high blood pressure is the best It's better not to watch '2012' to avoid physical problems."
Kate Dennings said: "Mr. Xiao, do you believe it? The more you say that, the more curious people are, and the more people go to the cinema."
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "Then there is nothing I can do."
Kat Dennings asked: "Didn't you do two versions? Why didn't you show the 2d version? And you're so expensive, do you think fans will accept it?"
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "I have 10,000 3D screens all over the world, which is enough for me to show "2012". As for the ticket price, after everyone has watched the movie, they will feel that a hundred dollars is too cheap. I dare to Certainly, many fans will not be able to resist watching it a second or third time."
"It seems that you are very confident. How much do you think "2012" can achieve at the box office?"
"It turned out that my goal was $15 billion. When the production of "2012" was completed, I changed it to $20 billion. I believe he will be able to achieve it."
