Chapter Seven Hundred and Sixteenth Blossoming
The two chatted for an entire hour. Most of the time, Beekwen was talking about Hollywood things. Xiao Yunhai sat there and listened quietly. A sense of confidant.
The more they talked, the more speculative they became, and they felt that they would meet each other late.
Wu Hao next to him was completely immersed in Bikoven's plan, imagining how to realize it.
Time passed slowly, Xiao Yunhai came here at 3:00 in the afternoon, and after Wu Hao read the plan, it was already 5:30.
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Boss Wu, how is it?"
Wu Hao said confidently: "noproblem"
Bi Kewen's eyes lit up and said, "Wu, do you mean that there are no problems with the scenes in the plan?"
Wu Hao said: "Of course. I am more than 90% sure, and the other 10% is not sure if you will increase the difficulty in it?"
Beekwen said happily: 'That's great. Xiao, I hope to be able to set up the crew as soon as possible and choose the actors. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said: "Yes. I also need to shoot a movie recently, so I don't have time to go to the United States. If you have any questions, you can call Daniel, the person in charge of the magic work. In two days, I will send a few financial staff. Bring the $200 million in the early stage. They will always follow the crew and are only responsible for the cashier, and will not affect your shooting."
Beekwen said: "Great. Thank you, Xiao. Can we sign the contract now?"
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "Of course."
Generally speaking, for a big director like Beekwen, the investors not only have to pay him a salary, but also give him a share of the profits of his films.
in Hollywood,
The best actors get paid $40 million, and Bikwen's salary for directing a movie is $55 million, and that's not even a share.
It can be seen that the Hollywood director has a much higher status than the actor.
After the negotiation between the two, Xiao Yunhai will finally pay Bikwen $150 million for the three films. If the box office can exceed $12 billion, Xiao Yunhai will also pay him 10% of all profits. .
After signing the contract, Xiao Yunhai invited Bi Kewen and Wu Hao to Quanjude for a roast duck meal.
While eating, Bikwen kept complimenting.
Before leaving, he also packed two.
The next morning, Bikoven and his assistant couldn't wait to leave Yanjing and returned to the United States to prepare for the preparatory work of the crew.
After Xiao Yunhai took him to the airport, he went directly to Hanhai, told his father-in-law Zhao Mingsheng, and asked him to find some financial staff who were proficient in English and trusted.
Zhao Mingsheng didn't say a word, so he called the deputy director of Hanhai's financial department and asked him to lead the team to the "Lord of the Rings" crew.
Hearing that he was going to American director Beekwen's crew, the deputy minister agreed without thinking.
Time is fast. As of March 25, the box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has exceeded 3 billion US dollars, and it has been on the throne of the world box office champion for six consecutive days, but it is also showing fatigue at this time. , I don't know if it can exceed four billion.
At the same time, Xiao Yunhai's martial arts novel "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" is also on the shelves in bookstores across China.
On the 24th, Xiao Yunhai received a call from Hua Mingquan, saying that the pre-order had exceeded 10 million copies, so he had no worries about the sales of the novel. Conservatively estimated, it should be no problem to exceed 40 million, which made Xiao Yunhai sigh again, a world without piracy is good.
That night, the movie "Xiao Cui" was released at the same time in major theaters in Asia and North America, and received rave reviews.
In particular, the North American box office has almost reached full capacity for three consecutive games. Just like Chinese movie fans love Hollywood movies, foreign movie fans seem to be very interested in Huaxia's Xianxia movies, which may be very fresh.
The Ministry of Culture saw that after Xiao Yunhai, another director had achieved great success abroad, so it was natural to promote it well. Jiao Fangtao also enjoyed Xiao Yunhai's treatment at the beginning. The news network broadcasted the grand occasion of foreign movie fans queuing up to buy "Xiao Cui" movie tickets in three minutes.
Affected by its strong influence, the box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" fell to 428 million US dollars that day, which was not as high as the box office of "Xiao Cui" in one night.
The good news is that one after another, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" invested by Xiao Yunhai was premiered on the evening of the 26th. With the strong popularity of the novel, the ratings of Anhui TV station directly exceeded 10%, and Henan TV station was no less. It was 8.4%, which made the director Du Hongtai, who has been worried all the time, very relieved.
In this way, many works related to Xiao Yunhai have achieved very dazzling results.
As of the end of March, the box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" invested by Xiao Yunhai has reached 3.7 billion US dollars. After throwing out the cost, he can get a profit of 900 million US dollars. Because of the success of the film, the novel has also sold seven times. million copies.
The movie "Xiao Cui" swept the whole world. In just five days, the global box office exceeded 2.8 billion US dollars, which is much more tyrannical than "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". In particular, the North American box office was particularly strong, with 1.327 billion US dollars. According to the contract, Xiao Yunhai can get 30% of the income, which is almost 150 million US dollars.
The TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has averaged 18.4% for the past five days. This is just the beginning. When the next plot unfolds, breaking through 20% is basically a sure thing. With such good ratings, the advertising costs brought to Xiao Yunhai are naturally rising.
Huang Meiling, who played Huang Rong, became popular overnight, rising from an ordinary girl to the ranks of first-line stars. Just like Xiao Yanzi in her previous life, her acting skills were unanimously recognized by the industry and the audience.
This girl is very smart. She didn't think about the solicitation of other entertainment companies, but contacted Xiao Yunhai through Du Hongtai's relationship, hoping to enter Hanhai Film and Television Investment Company.
Xiao Yunhai told his father-in-law, Zhao Mingsheng, that Zhao Mingsheng would not refuse such a good thing that was delivered to the door. The next day, he asked the director of the brokerage department to sign her, and then provided her with an agent and assistant. , bodyguards, drivers, makeup artists and other personnel.
In addition to Huang Meiling, Mu Nianci played by Dong Piaopiao is also very popular. I have to say that Dong Piaopiao is indeed very talented in acting. Huang Meiling played the role in her true colors, but she relied on her acting skills to play the role of Mu Nianci vividly, which was affirmed by the outside world.
The sales volume of the martial arts novel "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" is advancing at an average rate of 3 million per day. Hua Mingquan's printing factory is rushing around the clock, and the supply is still in short supply. The reputation of the novel is also very good, and more than 90% of the major forums on the Internet are praised. So far, sales have broken the 20 million mark.
Movies, TV dramas, and martial arts novels have blossomed, allowing Xiao Yunhai to earn a lot of money, and at the same time, it has greatly eased his economic pressure.
