Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

In particular, General Film Company was the first to contact Xiao Yunhai and had the most time for filming. Now the three 3D films have been completed and are preparing to be released one after another.

It would be really stupid to show "Lord of the Rings 3" at this juncture.

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "I'll leave it until the end of the year. Judging from the current situation, the trend of 3D movies will stop in less than a year. At that time, 2D movies can be shown normally." gone."

Zhao Wanqing said: "Husband, are you so sure that 3D movies will decline by the end of the year?"

Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "It can't be said to be declining. Any new thing will have a peak period for a while, like 3D movie technology, it seems to be very good now, and it has been sought after by movie fans, but who can accept it? Every time I watch a movie, it’s 3D. I’ve said before that once the novelty of 3D wears off, 2D movies will keep pace with 3D movies. I originally thought it was a year, but the actual situation is global. Film companies are all making 3D movies, so the speed of decline will be much faster than I expected. Maybe it won’t be until the end of the year.”

Bi Kewen nodded and said, "Perhaps your guess is right. However, I am not here this time for "The Lord of the Rings."

Xiao Yunhai looked at the script in his hand, and said: "If it's not "The Lord of the Rings 3", then it must be a new movie. Director Bi Kewen, I once said that you have unlimited freedom in Marvel, what you want to film The film only needs to be approved, and the funding issue can be directly contacted with Raul."

Bi Kewen smiled bitterly and said, "I came to you because I was not sure about the script. When I was in Yanjing, China, I told you that I was going to shoot a movie about gorillas. Now that the script is out, but I always feel that something is wrong. Last night I suddenly understood that this script lacks the most important humanistic factor. So I came to see you, can you help me to change it. If it doesn’t work, I can only give up .”

Xiao Yunhai took the script from Bi Kewen, and said, "Let me read the plot first."

Zhao Wanqing also sat beside Xiao Yunhai curiously, and watched together.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Yunhai put down the script, frowned, and said, "If I were to rate it, I would give it four points at most."

Zhao Wanqing touched Xiao Yunhai's arm, signaling him to be more polite.

Bi Kewen said: "Miss Zhao, it's okay. When we discuss the script, it's best to say something, so as to avoid bigger problems in the future. Xiao, I hired a famous screenwriter team to spend two months on this script. Why can I only get four points from you?"

Xiao Yunhai took a sip of tea, thought about his words, and said, "Let's put it this way, I didn't find a trace of humanism in this script. From the beginning to the end, it's a story of humans fighting monsters. If it's made into a movie, it's at most The visual effects are better and more realistic, and there is nothing else that can be left for the audience to think about.”

Bi Kewen nodded and said, "You're right, I think so too. Xiao, can you change it?"

Xiao Yunhai closed his eyes, tapped his fingers on the coffee table subconsciously, thinking about the story of "King Kong" filmed by Peter Jackson, the father of magic, that he had seen in his previous life, he seemed to be in deep thought.

In fact, he did this just to cover up.You can't say that after reading this gorilla story, you can immediately write an excellent script like "King Kong", right?That would be a little too inhuman.

Five minutes later, Xiao Yunhai opened his eyes, and the sound of his fingers tapping on the coffee table stopped abruptly.

Bi Kewen looked at him expectantly, and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

Xiao Yunhai nodded, and said: "I came up with another good script. Let's put the background of the story in the 50s. A group of people went to a deserted island to search for a lost civilization for their own purposes. There are countless civilizations there. The monster... the heroine was rescued by the gorilla and became good friends with each other."

"The heroine encountered several dinosaurs who wanted to eat her. The gorilla fought these dinosaurs in order to save her, and finally defeated them. But the greedy humans used despicable means to capture the gorilla... .”

"The gorilla broke free from the huge chain, climbed to the top of the building, and fought with more than a dozen fighter jets. Even in the fierce battle, the gorilla still protected the heroine. In the end, the gorilla was hit and shot from the top of the tower." The top fell down, but the eyes looking at the heroine are still full of strong emotions."

After briefly telling the story of "King Kong", Xiao Yunhai asked Bi Kewen, who was acting silly, "What do you think of this story?"

Bi Kewen came to his senses and said excitedly: "Xiao, you are simply a genius of storytelling, no wonder you can become the best screenwriter of Jin Zun and Oscar. This story is amazing, better than the one I brought. Know how many times. I can now imagine how fans must feel when they see the gorilla fall from the tower."

"Sorrow, pity, despair, sadness, desolation..." Zhao Wanqing said seven or eight words in succession.

Bi Kewen said: "That's right. This story is very humanistic, and at the same time it can bring people a kind of thinking. If you give it a score, I will give it at least nine points. Xiao, you give this story to me for filming." Go ahead. Don't worry, I will never humiliate it."

Now Bi Kewen has completely fallen in love with this story, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and each picture seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

But he knew that Xiao Yunhai was also an excellent director. Facing such a good script, he was not sure that Xiao Yunhai would let him.Anyway, if it was him instead, he would definitely not give it up to anyone else.

Fortunately, what he was most worried about didn't happen. Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "If I don't leave it to you, why not leave it to someone else? Director Bi Kewen, you can go to the screenwriter team to write the story according to the story I just told you. A complete script. And the name "Gorilla" is too ugly, I think it's better to call it "King Kong."

Bi Kewen slapped his thigh and said happily: "Okay, let's call it "King Kong"."

Xiao Yunhai said: "After the script is completed, you can go directly to Raul for investment. If you want to find a big-name star to shoot, I guess it will be difficult to complete without an investment of more than one billion."

Bi Kewen nodded and said, "Yes. But don't worry, I will try my best to save money."

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said: "That's not what I mean. Movies, if you want to get a good return, you have to be willing to spend a lot of money. Our Marvel is very rich now. If you have a lot of money, you can use it as long as it doesn't exceed $15 billion will do.”

Bi Kewen laughed and said, "It seems that I did nothing wrong in joining Marvel. Well, I'll get to work now. If I don't make this movie a classic, I, Bi Kewen, will retire."

Xiao Yunhai stretched out his hand, shook him, and said, "Then I wish you success."

Chapter 1182

After Bi Kewen left, Zhao Wanqing looked at Xiao Yunhai with admiration, and said, "Honey, you are simply amazing. It's amazing that you came up with such a good story in 5 minutes."

Xiao Yunhai said proudly: "That's right, don't even look at who I am."

Zhao Wanqing slapped him and said angrily, "You are a master who climbs up the pole and never knows what modesty is."

Xiao Yunhai said: "You ordinary people will not understand the world of geniuses."

Xiao Yunhai had a meal with Zhao Wanqing at noon, and went to Marvel TV together in the afternoon.

Coincidentally, Robert was negotiating with seven or eight advertisers in the meeting room at this time.

Hearing that Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing had arrived, Robert quickly invited them in.

For Xiao Yunhai, the richest man in the world and an international superstar, the advertisers in the conference room naturally did not dare to neglect, and they all stood up and said hello.

Xiao Yunhai shook hands with them respectively, and said with a smile: "Bosses, please take a seat. Thank you for being so optimistic about our Marvel TV station. I can guarantee that your choice will definitely not be wrong."

A beautiful woman in her thirties with a sexy dress and a hot figure asked: "Mr. Xiao, Director Dornheim just said a method of exchanging advertising fees based on ratings. We think it's not bad. I heard it is What do you think about your proposal?"

Robert next to him whispered in Xiao Yunhai's ear: "This is Sonia May, the owner of the well-known American makeup brand Sonia."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Miss Sonia Mei, my favorite word in business is win-win. All the bosses advertise on the TV station with only one purpose, and that is to hope that the products they produce can be known to every consumer. But no matter which TV station it is, there will always be ups and downs in the ratings. If you encounter a popular program, everyone will make money. But if you encounter a not-so-good program, you can only admit that you are unlucky. The hard-earned money was thrown into the water. This way, I think it is very beneficial to the TV station, but it is a bit unfair to your business."

Ford Finn, who sells clothing, nodded and said: "Mr. Xiao is right. Last time I saw a TV series on NNC TV, and paid a full 6000 million US dollars for the advertisement at a price of 0.23 US dollars per second. In the end, the ratings of this TV series only reached [-]%, which made me feel miserable. I went to NNC TV station to make a theory, and they said that it is normal for the ratings to be high and low. If you want to complain, you can only blame my bad vision. , it almost didn’t kill me at the time.”

Sonia May said: "Yes, I often encounter this situation."

Xiao Yunhai said: "In view of this, I wondered if there was a way to benefit both the TV station and the business. So, we came up with this method of exchanging ratings for advertising costs. High ratings Yes, your advertisement can attract the attention of the audience, and the product will naturally sell well, and of course the corresponding advertising fee will also increase. The ratings are low, and few people watch your advertisement, so the advertising fee will naturally decrease accordingly , your loss will not be too big. Everything is in the interests of both of us. What do you think?"

Everyone nodded in unison and said, "Very good."

Ford Finn said: "Mr. Xiao, before you came, we had already agreed to this method, but how is the price determined?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Let the director of our TV station tell you about this."

Robert said: "Bosses, we have determined a ratings price list by referring to the ratings and fees of TV stations such as NNC and NBC. Each rating will correspond to a specific price. Now the staff is printing out, wait a minute I’ll come over and hand it over to you. But I want to make a statement. If the audience rating is less than 1.5%, you will spend less on advertising than other TV stations. But once it exceeds this figure, the advertising costs will be higher than other TV stations. .Especially if it reaches more than [-]%, the cost will be [-]% higher than that of NNC and NNB TV stations. In short, the higher the ratings, the higher the advertising costs you will pay. After all, we cannot bear all the costs for you. The risk. I hope everyone can understand this point.”

Sonia May said with a smile: "This is normal. Of course, high risks have high rewards. We can understand such prices."

Everyone else nodded.

After a while, a staff member walked in with a thick stack of documents, and distributed a copy to everyone.

Xiao Yunhai took a look and found that the document was very detailed, especially the price corresponding to the ratings, which was very clear.Not only that, Robert also marked out the advertising expenses of other TV stations over the years, forming a sharp contrast with Marvel.

After Zhao Wanqing browsed through it, she said softly to Xiao Yunhai: "Husband, this Robert is a talent, he considers things very comprehensively."
