Chapter 702 Agreed

In the previous life, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy cost a total of 270 million US dollars, but in this world with a highly developed entertainment industry, this amount of money is not enough for the actors' salary.

After listening to Xiao Yunhai's words, Bi Kewen on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then he said, "Mr. Xiao, you are an excellent director. No matter what I say or how I explain it, I can't convince you. I just want to ask In one sentence, are you willing to invest $2.5 billion in this movie?"

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "If I were a simple businessman, I would definitely not invest. Unfortunately, I am also a director, so I know exactly what you have in mind. With my dreamy and magical special effects technology, I have no problem with it. The ability to bring the world in the novel to the big screen. Therefore, I can tell you clearly that I, Xiao Yunhai, are willing to invest in this magical giant. Even if the final loss is lost, I will recognize it. "

Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Bikwen's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he shouted in disbelief: "God, I heard right. Mr. Xiao, are you really willing to invest in The Lord of the Rings?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That's right. Director Bikwen, the special effects company is mine, and there is no problem in this regard. As for the shooting cost, $1.8 billion should be more than enough."

Bikoven's voice trembled with excitement, and said, "That's great. Mr. Xiao, I really don't know what to say. Don't worry, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy will definitely become the best-selling and most classic in the history of world cinema. series of films.”

Xiao Yunhai said: "I believe this. Mr. Bikwen, have you bought the copyright of this novel? Can you send me a copy of the script? I want to take a look."

Beekwen smiled and said: "I bought all the copyrights of the novel a long time ago, and it took me two years to write the complete script. Mr. Xiao, you are also a big expert in script writing, so please correct me. "

Xiao Yunhai said: "You are too modest, I will definitely read it carefully."

Bickwen said: "Mr. Xiao, I heard that you are going back to Yanjing tomorrow. I don't know if you can go back a day later, because I can be in Los Angeles at the earliest in the afternoon."

Xiao Yunhai said: "I'm sorry,

Mr. Beekwen, we will hold the Golden Bottle Film Festival in China on March 15th. I have to prepare in advance. "

Bikoven sighed and said, "That's a pity."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "There's no pity. Mr. Bikwen, if you want to do The Lord of the Rings, you must use a lot of special effects shots, and my fantasy special effects company is in Yanjing. So, no matter what, I have to come here. When the time comes, I will be waiting for you in Yanjing."

Bikwen smiled and said, "You're right. Well, see you in Yanjing."

After the two finished talking, Xiao Yunhai broadcast Kerry's number directly on his mobile phone.

"Xiao, did Director Beekwen look for you? Haha, yes, I told him, you don't have to thank me."

Kerry answered the phone and said gloatingly.

Xiao Yunhai said: "Kerry, I talked to Director Bikov about very speculatively. I agree with many of his views. Therefore, I have promised him to invest in The Lord of the Rings. At that time, the film will make money. With the money, I will definitely invite you to have a good drink."

Kerry on the other end of the phone was stunned and said anxiously, "Xiao, do you really plan to invest in this movie? Do you know how dangerous it is?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "Of course I know. If "The Lord of the Rings" can be successful, then these three films will bring me at least tens of billions of wealth. On the contrary, if it fails, then I will lose all my money. Second All $1.5 billion was lost. However, Beekwen and I have enough confidence and ability to make this "Lord of the Rings" a great success."

Kerry was silent for a while before he said, "Xiao, you are such a lunatic."

Xiao Yunhai giggled and said, "You said the same thing when I bought "Harry Potter". It turns out that you were wrong. Kerry, don't say I didn't give you a chance, you'd better be together Join in, and maybe The Lord of the Rings can create a box-office miracle in movie history."

Kerry said: "But it may also be a miracle of investment fiasco in film history. Xiao, have you been brainwashed by Beekwen? I really regret letting him find you now."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Kerry, we in China have a saying, how many fights can we have in life. I'm still young and can afford to lose. One word, do you want to get involved?"

Without thinking, Kerry said, "You're crazy, but I'm not crazy. Xiao, I can only wish you good luck. Don't blame me if it doesn't turn out as you want."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I just hope you don't regret it."

After talking with Kerry, Xiao Yunhai read the "Lord of the Rings" script sent by Bikoven.

It took him two hours to read the entire script, and he found that compared with the previous movie, there were some differences between the two, and he was more faithful to the original than Kevin.

Like Tom Barbondir and his wife Goldberry, which appeared in the script, they did not appear in the movies of the previous life, and many plots of the elf lord Glorfindel and the brown-robed wizard Radgeist were also preserved. down. Of course, there are many differences between the two.

However, these are just sidelines, and the main line of the story has not changed in any way.

Bi Kewen's script was written with great care, and every detail was covered. Xiao Yunhai didn't find anything that needed to be changed.

I have to admit that a great director is a great director, and it's really not good.

The next afternoon, Xiao Yunhai and his party successfully completed their mission and flew back to Yanjing by plane.

The promotion of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is in full swing. Du Hongtai took the crew to various places to hold media conferences, and the actors in it also frequently appeared in variety shows and talk shows on major TV stations. Posters are posted everywhere, and the Internet is even more overwhelming, and all major forums are full of it.

Xiao Yunhai's "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" also got a lot of light. When people mentioned "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", they couldn't help but think of his martial arts novel, which saved him a lot of things.

Hua Ming from Sunshine Publishing House took over the publicity work of the novel and posted the wonderful chapters of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" to the Internet from time to time, but stopped at a critical moment, which made martial arts fans feel unbearable, and the expectation is naturally straight. rise.

With less than three days left until the Jinzun Film Festival, Xiao Yunhai received a call from Ye Yongren.

The two laughed for a while, and Ye Yongren got to the point.

"Yunhai, a few days ago, the Jinzun Organizing Committee invited me to perform a show at the film festival. I've thought about it, and the theme song of "Infernal Affairs" is undoubtedly the most suitable. I wonder if you can sing with me?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Of course. Teacher Ye, why don't you also call Teacher Huang and Teacher Liang. When the time comes, the four of us will play together and it will definitely cause a sensation."

When Ye Yongren heard it, he said in surprise: "Yes, why didn't I think of it. Both of them released albums when they were young, and there is no problem with singing on stage."

Xiao Yunhai said: "I will make a short film of "Infernal Affairs" tomorrow, and then I will arrange the music and rehearse the day after tomorrow. What do you think?"

Ye Yongren laughed and said, "Just do it like this. I'll go to the two of them. Even if it's soft and hard, I must ask them to agree."
