Chapter 909 Paramount Changes Owners

To say that the original sound record company is really not built, the efficiency is scary, the next morning, Xiao Yunhai received a call from the director of the mv.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao, I'm Laikorn, the director of your album mv."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Director Laikorn, hello."

After a few polite words from the two of them, Laikorn said, "Mr. Xiao, the songs on your album are amazing. It's the best album I've ever heard in my life, bar none. I'm so honored to be able to make it for you. 's mv, maybe my name will go down in history as well as this album."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Thank you for your appreciation. I wonder when my album mv can start shooting?"

Laiken said: "It can be done tomorrow. We convened all the MV writers of the original sound record company yesterday. Everyone worked together, and we have written the script of three songs. There will be a lot of space dance steps. Do you have any questions? "

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem. Director Laikone, can you send me your script for a look?"

"certainly."

The two chatted for a while about the MV shooting, and then hung up.

Soon, Xiao Yunhai saw the script that Laiken sent.

The screenwriter of the original sound record company is still very reliable, and Xiao Yunhai is very satisfied with the script.

In the following time, Xiao Yunhai devoted himself to the MV production of the album.

Laiken's directing level is very high, and he has rich experience. He is very rigorous and serious in handling details, and does not allow the slightest problem. Even with Xiao Yunhai's critical eyes, he did not find any inappropriateness.

And Xiao Yunhai's acting skills are also superb,

No matter what kind of expression Laiken wanted, what kind of action Xiao Yunhai could make without any fuss, and it was even stronger than what Laiken wanted.

Therefore, the cooperation between the two is very pleasant, and the efficiency is naturally high and scary.

It only took half a month to complete all the MVs for the nine songs, and Xiao Yunhai was not needed for the other scenes.

Just the day after he finished filming the MV, an earth-shattering news shocked the entire Hollywood.

Paramount changed hands.

Some time ago, the collective action of the eight major Hollywood film companies, including the Thunder Film Company, made Paramount’s market value deteriorating, and those shareholders finally couldn’t stand it. Anger was ousted from the chairmanship and replaced by CEO Hanks, who was sent by Stell Technologies.

After gaining control of Paramount, Hanks injected 50 billion US dollars into the company without saying a word, forcibly diluting Anger's shares, and Stell's shares increased from 12% to 100%. Fifty-three out of five, Ange had no power to return to the sky, and could only watch his Paramount being taken away.

Then, another big news came out.

At the collective request of Hollywood, the U.S. government opened a theater chain to allow the construction of a theater with fewer than 8,000 screens in its territory.

Many film companies are cheering, and one more theater line means one more choice for everyone.

But some people in the know are very clear that this must be the pressure exerted by Stell Technology on the government.

Otherwise, why didn't the policy come out sooner or later, but only after they got Paramount.

Sure enough, the government did not give other companies any chance, and directly asked Stell Technology to buy the construction rights of the theater line for 100 billion US dollars.

Of course, in order to circumvent antitrust laws, the nominal shareholders are three small companies, but behind all of them are Stell Technologies.

The government's approach was unanimously opposed by the eight major Hollywood companies, but it turned out to be of no use.

Even a lawsuit is useless, because there is nothing illegal about all of Stell's actions.

When Xiao Yunhai heard the news, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "Murray is certainly a world of capital. Whoever has more money and who has more power can get the government's support. Now Paramount has Stell. It is impossible for this big conglomerate not to rise up.”

Seeing that Paramount won the right to build an entire theater line, other companies with theater lines had to break their teeth and swallow their blood, which not only restored Paramount's movie profit ratio, but some even increased them. Many, in the hope that after the completion of the other party's theater chain, they will be able to benefit from it.

It is said that there are three fires when a new official takes office.

If the matter of the new theater chain was regarded as Paramount's first fire, then Xiao Yunhai did not expect that the other party's second fire would burn himself.

Paramount's new CEO, Hanks, called him and asked him to have coffee at a newly opened Italian cafe next to Xiao Yunhai Manor Villa.

Xiao Yunhai agreed without any consideration.

According to the agreed time, Xiao Yunhai came to the cafe and saw that the mature and steady Hanks was already sitting there in a suit.

So, Xiao Yunhai stepped forward and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hanks, I'm late."

Hanks stood up, shook hands with him, smiled and said: "It should be said that I came early. Mr. Xiao, please take a seat. I know you like to drink tea, but it is too far from your villa, So I had no choice but to choose here, please don't mind."

Xiao Yunhai took off his jacket, sat opposite Hanks, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Mr. Hanks to be so clear about my hobbies. It seems that you came prepared."

Hanks asked the waiter to make Xiao Yunhai a cup of coffee and said, "To tell you the truth, we did conduct a detailed investigation on you. Seeing your resume for the past two years, I have to say that Mr. Xiao is really a good man. Admirable genius. Every step you take is exceptionally precise. Whether it's magic, fantasy, cinema, music sites or shopping sites, it's the best industry in the world today, with endless potential. Fortunately, you seem to be very knowledgeable about business I don't have much interest, otherwise the position of the world's richest man may have been replaced by you. However, even so, at the latest two years, you can still sit in that position. "

Hanks complimented Xiao Yunhai as much as he could, while looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to see how Xiao Yunhai, a 24-year-old young man, would react.

It was a pity that he was disappointed, Xiao Yunhai just listened with a smile on his face from beginning to end, stirring the coffee with his right hand, there was no strangeness on his face, let alone the complacency he expected.

Hanks sighed in his heart: "It's really not easy for the other party to get to where they are today."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Mr. Hanks, you are really over the top. I, Xiao Yunhai, are an artist with no business knowledge, and I'm not as good as you say. My wife often says I'm a stupid idiot, so my family's She keeps all the money. Stell just joined Paramount, you should be very busy as CEO. Let's not waste time, if you have anything, just say it directly. I will promise if you can. promise."

Hanks laughed and said, "My favorite is a cheerful person like Mr. Xiao. We at Paramount want to shoot "Spider-Man" and "Superman", I wonder if Mr. Xiao can sell us their copyrights ?"

Xiao Yunhai was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Impossible. They are not for sale. To be honest, I expect them to bring me huge profits."

Hanks said: "I know that Mr. Xiao is a world-class director. The three films sold more than 16 billion US dollars, which shocked the whole world film industry. But "Spider-Man" and "Superman" are both heroes of the West. , you have no interest in directing or acting in this type of film?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "Yes, but I can invest in filming like "The Lord of the Rings". Mr. Hanks, these two superheroes can extend to dozens of movies and cartoons. In any case, I will never selling."

Hanks took a sip of coffee and said, "Don't refuse, Mr. Xiao, you haven't listened to the conditions we offered. We are willing to invest two billion dollars to buy the movie adaptation rights of these two superheroes, just movies. Adaptation rights. Others like manga, animation, TV series, toys, etc. are not included. What do you think?"

Xiao Yunhai habitually knocked on the table and said, "The two billion dollars to win the movie adaptation rights of Spider-Man and Superman should be very attractive. Unfortunately, I still can't promise you."
