Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Bi Kewen said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done this."

"Can you tell me what happened?" asked the wife.

Bi Kewen talked about Fox's wish for him to renew his contract and Xiao Yunhai's invitation to join Marvel, and said, "Honey, if it was you, which one would you choose?"

Bi Kewen's wife used to be the editor-in-chief of a magazine. Although she resigned three years ago and became a full-time wife at home, she has always been very concerned about the entertainment industry. Xiao Yunhai's name has long been known.

"Honey, I think you should follow your heart. When I was at a party a few days ago, I heard that Fox had a big financial problem. It seemed that a large Wall Street consortium wanted to buy it. Of course this is just Gossip, I can’t confirm it. But regardless of whether this matter is true or not, compared with Mr. Xiao, who has strong funds and is also a director, it really has no attraction at all.”

"Honey, you are over 50 years old this year, and you can still make movies for a few years. If you encounter "Lord of the Rings" again, do you think Fox will give you a chance to shoot? And at that time, even if Mr. Definitely won't invest again, because Marvel has its own director and actors."

"On the contrary, if you are in Marvel, you only need to discuss with Mr. Xiao with the script. As long as you convince him, everything will be solved. What's more important is that you don't have to be restricted by the producer, and you can do whatever you want. Intent to shoot. Don't you think that's a very good thing?"

Hearing his wife's tirade, Bi Kewen's heart turned towards Xiao Yunhai, and he said with a wry smile: "Actually, I know you are right, and I have already made a choice in my heart. I just left the old club that I have worked for for more than 20 years. , I'm just a little uncomfortable."

Bikwin is a fast-moving guy, and just like his movies, once he makes up his mind, he will implement it immediately.

That night, he called Xiao Yunhai and told him that he was willing to join Marvel Comics.

Xiao Yunhai was overjoyed. After talking with Bi Kewen, he immediately asked Raul to sign a contract before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and then went to the Magic Special Effects Company to find him.

Raul was naturally very happy to have Bi Kewen, the most prestigious magic director in Hollywood, joining him. He seriously discussed the content of the contract with Xiao Yunhai before hanging up the phone.

Chapter 1017 Signing

At [-]:[-] 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 chuckled and said, "Raul, you came quite early."

Raul said: "Boss, there is a saying in Huaxia that nights are long and dreams are many. Director Bi Kewen can be ranked among the top five commercial directors in Hollywood. I don't want to let the cooked duck fly away."

Xiao Yunhai opened the door, let the two of them in, and said, "Raul, if Director Bi Kewen hears you comparing him to a duck, I think the things that he could have promised will be messed up."

Raul smiled bitterly: "Boss, you know I didn't mean that."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Okay, show me the contract."

Raul took out the agreement from his bag, handed it to Xiao Yunhai, and said, "Boss, isn't our offer too good?"

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Do you think our Marvel will not be able to keep Director Bi Kewen? Don't worry, there will be no problems. However, other directors and actors don't have this kind of treatment."

After reading the agreement, Xiao Yunhai nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I'll take care of director Bi Kewen's matter. You two can go and see the building. As long as it doesn't exceed 20 billion and is suitable for our work, you can directly Settle down."

Daniel smiled and said: "Okay, let's go now. Hehe, I feel excited when I think that I will soon have my own skyscraper."

Raul also nodded in agreement.

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

Seeing Bi Kewen whose eyes were a little red and who seemed to have not slept all night, Xiao Yunhai sighed, and said: "Mr. I can pretend I haven’t heard anything about it last night.”

Bi Kewen shook his head, and said, "I've already made a decision. After talking to you last night, I called Frake, the boss of 21st Century Fox. After learning that I planned to join Marvel, Frake Lake persuaded me for more than half an hour. But seeing that I was desperate, he actually yelled at me, saying that I would repay my kindness without profit. Sigh, he let me down so much."

Xiao Yunhai frowned, thinking to himself that it's no wonder that the 21st Century Fox Film Company is in decline, and with a short-sighted boss like Flake, it's no wonder it gets better.

Bi Kewen is one of the best directors in Hollywood, and he has stayed at Fox for more than 20 years. Even if he went to another company, he would still care about his passion when shooting movies. Under the same conditions, he would definitely choose their company first. its artists.

It's good now, after such a fuss from him, the passion for incense is completely broken.

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

Bi Kewen took the contract and looked at it seriously.

Two minutes later, Bi Kewen raised his head in surprise, raised a page of the contract in his hand, and said in disbelief, "Is this for me?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Of course."

Bi Kewen smiled bitterly: "This is the most generous contract for our director I have ever seen."

Indeed, the treatment Xiao Yunhai gave him was simply unbelievable.The contract period is one year. 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 on all crew affairs.If there are other suitable scripts, refer to the above article....

There were very few items in the contract, and the simplicity was almost unacceptable. This made Bi Kewen feel like he would die for his confidant.

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

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

"Would it be the same for other directors and actors?" Bikwin asked.

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

Bi Kewen picked up a pen, wrote his name on it, and said, "I'm afraid no director would refuse this kind of treatment. Mr. Xiao, I'm your subordinate now, please take care of me in the future."

Xiao Yunhai put away the contract and said with a chuckle: "To be precise, we should be partners. I believe that you will not regret the decision you made today."

Bi Kewen said: "I think so too. Mr. Xiao, the first "Lord of the Rings" is one week away, and the post-production is all over. When do you plan to release it?"

Xiao Yunhai thought for a while, and said, "It's probably mid-July. At the end of June, "Battle of the Red Cliff", which I invested in and starred in, will be screened in major theaters in Europe and America."

Bi Kewen said: "Although I have been working on the post-production of "The Lord of the Rings", I also saw on the Internet that Paramount is going to use "Assassin" to snipe your "Battle of the Red Cliff", do you really want to fight it head-on? ?”

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

Xiao Yunhai knew very well that compared to "Assassin", "Battle of the Red Cliff" was inherently inferior.After all, this is an ancient Chinese war film, and it is hard to say whether European and American fans will accept it. "

Therefore, Xiao Yunhai really didn't have much confidence in the duel between "Battle of the Red Cliff" and "Assassin".But no matter what, even if he lost miserably to "Assassin" at the box office in the end, Xiao Yunhai couldn't lose to the opponent in terms of momentum.

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

Paramount was not to be outdone, half a month before the release of "Assassin", their directors began to take the actors around, and the momentum was much bigger than that of Marvel.

Xiao Yunhai suffered because the actors were not acclimatized to the environment. Apart from him, the other actors were not well-known in the United States.Even if they participate in some programs, the effect is not much better, because no fans know them.

Therefore, he can only use Wu Zixu's elaborate five trailers to attract the attention of movie fans.

Fortunately, the effect seems to be pretty good, at least the number of hits on the trailer of "Battle of the Red Cliff" is not lower than that of "Assassin".

Bi Kewen said: "If "Battle of the Red Cliff" loses, should we use "Lord of the Rings" as a counter attack? I believe my movie is absolutely invincible."

Xiao Yunhai shook his head, and said: "The Lord of the Rings is more useful. I heard that next month, Paramount will release a blockbuster action movie, but the specific release date has not been confirmed. As far as molestation is concerned, it is my goal."

"Not only that, but the next four 3D superhero blockbusters of Marvel will come to Paramount. Haven't they made a lot of films? As long as they dare to release them next year, I will choose to release them on the same day. Don't put Han Kex beat me to nothing, so my surname is not Xiao."

Bi Kewen said with a smile: "You really must get revenge. Paramount messed with you, it's bad luck. It's just that they have already started filming, and you haven't prepared until now. Can you catch up?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "I'm worrying about this matter. The big Hollywood directors have already been snatched up by major film companies, let me go to find suitable ones. By the way, do you have any good candidates?"
