Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Xiao Yunhai read the script while listening to Harley's description.

This guy really loves movies extremely. When he talked about shooting related matters, his eyes lit up, and his mouth was endless. What's more, his words were very logical, which made it easy for Xiao Yunhai to understand. what he wants to express.

"It's a talent."

After 15 minutes, Xiao Yunhai interrupted him, saying: "Mr. Harley, if you have time, we can continue discussing this issue at two o'clock in the afternoon. Now I need to see another director."

Harley said: "Mr. Xiao, you just need to be busy with your work. I haven't finished the storyboard script for this part of the script."

Xiao Yunhai was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said: "Then you can write here. At noon, I will treat you to dinner."

For Harley, an energetic director in his 40s, Xiao Yunhai has decided to recruit him into Marvel Comics.

Chapter 1019

When he returned to the office, James was already waiting at the door.

Xiao Yunhai said embarrassedly: "Director James, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

James shook hands with him, and answered the question: "I have been waiting for this opportunity for a very long time."

Xiao Yunhai chuckled, and said: "Then we can have a good talk, please come in."

This James and Harley are completely two extremes. He speaks in a low voice, a little slow, but very confident. He wears light-colored glasses and has a scholarly temperament.

It was hard for Xiao Yunhai to believe that such a person would be called a tyrant on the set by Hollywood.

After the two parties sat down, James asked: "Mr. Xiao, I heard from Mr. Lauer that you want to shoot a superhero series movie. I don't know why you chose me to audition? Hehe, if this is an audition."

Xiao Yunhai said: "One is director Bi Kewen's recommendation, the other is that I saw your previous movie and thought it was very good, and the third is that you don't have a company. We at Marvel Comics are going to look for some directors and actors."

James lifted his eyes and said with a smile: "You are very frank. I have read almost all the comics of Marvel Comics. Which one do you want me to shoot?"

Xiao Yunhai said: ""Captain America" ​​or "Doctor Strange"."

James' eyes lit up, and he said, "I like "Doctor Strange" very much. It's just that there are too many supernatural phenomena in it. I'm afraid it will cost a lot to get the best results."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I'm not short of money. Mr. James, this is part of the script of "Doctor Strange". After you read it, we can have a good chat."

James knew in his heart that this should be considered an exam question, so he looked at it seriously.

In the next half an hour, James shared his ideas with Xiao Yunhai, how to choose the scene, how to set up the camera, how to present the picture he wanted, etc. The part of the exchange even went far beyond the scope of the script.

Obviously he is very familiar with the comics, and he has given serious consideration.

"Another talent. Hollywood is indeed a gathering place for the best filmmakers in the world. It can be described as a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. If any two directors have such abilities, could it be said that those film companies are all blind? "Xiao Yunhai secretly said.

Time passed slowly, and when the two chatted more and more speculatively, Harley knocked on the door and walked in with his own thick stack of shot scripts.

"James, you're here too?" Harley said in surprise.

James said: "You can come, why can't I come?"

The reason why Xiao Yunhai separated the two was because he knew that they had had conflicts in the movie promotion, and even scolded each other in front of the reporters.

Now that time has passed, the two of them have been silent all these years, and when they meet again, the scene of confrontation did not appear at the beginning.

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "The two of you used to be the masters of each other, but now that you are in the same company, you are colleagues. Let the past grievances go with the wind."

James smiled wryly: "In the past few years, one of us has been hidden in the snow, and the other has not even been able to make a movie, so there is nothing to talk about."

Harley heard Xiao Yunhai's implication, his eyes lit up, and said: "Mr. Xiao, you mean that I passed the assessment. You promised me to direct "X-Men"."

James also recalled it, and looked at Xiao Yunhai expectantly.

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "You are all so outstanding, how could we Marvel Comics let you go. However, we need to sign a five-year long contract."

Halley said excitedly: "As long as there is a movie to be made, let alone five years, 50 years will do."

James also nodded excitedly.

The two of them are typical Hollywood directors. They have all kinds of abilities, but they are hidden by Mingzhu. Now that they finally have a chance to turn around, they naturally have to firmly grasp it.

Xiao Yunhai said: "Take it easy, I want to tell you one thing. That is, "Doctor Strange" and "X-Men" need to be shot with 3D cameras, so you need to go to my fantasy special effects imaging company to learn. "

James couldn't hide his surprise and asked: "Mr. Xiao, is the 3D movie technology really fully mature?"

Xiao Yunhai nodded, and said: "Of course. Our dream has ordered millions of 3D glasses and a thousand 3D cameras. After "2012" is completed, I will call the bosses of the major theaters to experience the effect. It’s time to upgrade the 2D screens in major theaters to 3D screens.”

"This time I will invest 30 billion US dollars to shoot four superhero movies at the same time. Not surprisingly, after "2012", 3D movies will sweep the world, but they are not prepared, so there will be a long blank period. When the time comes , your four films turned out, how much the box office can reach, even I can hardly imagine. My goal is to enter the top ten of the world box office rankings together with five films including "2012". By then, we Marvel will become There is no one of the best film companies in the world."

James and Harley were stunned by Xiao Yunhai's blueprint for the future. Five films from one company entered the top ten in the world at the same time.

If someone had said that before, the two of them would have scoffed, and maybe they would have beaten up violently, but what Xiao Yunhai said was extremely convincing and well-founded, and it was very likely that this goal would be achieved .

James and Halley have been making movies for several years, and now they suddenly find that their movie has a chance to enter the world box office rankings, which is simply a counterattack for them.

After a while, the two came back to their senses, and said at the same time: "Mr. Xiao, I want to sign the contract right away."

Xiao Yunhai sighed, and took out two contracts that had been prepared long ago.

After reading it briefly, the two couldn't wait to sign it.

Xiao Yunhai stretched out his hand, shook hands with the two of them respectively, and said, "Welcome both of you to join our family of Marvel Comics. Next, the two tasks are to receive training, study scripts, form a crew, select actors, Shooting movies. But you must pay attention to one problem. If you want to be the hero and heroine of these superheroes, you must agree to join our company. I don’t want to make wedding dresses for others. The other supporting roles don’t matter, you can just figure it out. Understand?”

Harley said: "Understood. Mr. Xiao, what is our budget? And I hope the producer can pee in the same pot as me."

Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said: "There are no producers, only financial personnel. They are only in charge of cashiers and will not dictate your shooting. Hollywood likes the producer-centered system, but I think the director is the most important, so we The director is the biggest director of the movie invested by the company. As for the budget, as long as it does not exceed one billion US dollars, you can do whatever you want, Magic and Fantasy will fully cooperate with you. I only have one request, to improve the quality of the movie. 3D technology wants to play a role , the scene must be hot, and must shock people's vision."

James and Harley looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

The two of them knew very well that Xiao Yunhai had handed over all the rights of the film crew to himself. If he couldn't make a good movie like this, the two of them should really retire.

At noon, Xiao Yunhai invited the two of them to have a meal and talked about the movie. That afternoon, James and Harley impatiently boarded the international flight to Yanjing.

After the two films were finalized, Xiao Yunhai came to the directors' union, and it took him a whole day to select seven or eight directors who were more suitable in all aspects.As for who to use, we have to wait until he comes back from New York and have a good talk with them.

Xiao Shengli was worthy of being a soldier. On the morning of the second day after receiving Xiao Yunhai's call, he selected four experienced pilots who were about to retire from the army.

When they heard that they were going to be Xiao Yunhai's pilots, and the salary was frighteningly generous, they all nodded and agreed on the spot.

Worried about what to do after changing jobs?Now it's completely resolved.

All four of them fly fighter jets, so passenger planes are no problem. They only need to go to Boeing for half a day of training, and they can figure out all the instruments and everything will be done.

When Xiao Yunhai and the other stars went to New York, one of them was driving them. The flight was very smooth, and there was hardly any shaking.

Kerry gave Xiao Yunhai a thumbs up, and said, "Xiao, the driver you found is really awesome."
