Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

When Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing got married, he even went there, but he didn't have time to chat.

Jiao Fangtao poured a cup of tea for Xiao Yunhai, and said with a smile, "Yunhai, I haven't congratulated you on the big sale of "Infernal Affairs". Your movie has truly shown the momentum of our domestic movies."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Director Jiao won the award. I heard that your "Xiao Cui" finished the post-production a week ago. I wonder when you plan to release it?"

Wu Jun said: "That's why Director Jiao and I came to you."

Xiao Yunhai was taken aback, and said, "I don't know how I can help you?"

Jiao Fangtao said: "Yunhai, I would like to ask, are you a shareholder of the major Hollywood cinemas?"

Some time ago, Jiao Fangtao had been staying in Hollywood, and he was very clear about the small and medium-sized film companies suing the eight major film companies for the monopoly of theater chains.

Vaguely, he heard that a Chinese person spent a huge amount of money to buy shares in several theaters, helping companies such as MGM and Warner get controlling stakes.

After seeing how easily Xiao Yunhai put "Heroes of Fist of Fist" and "Infernal Affairs" in major theaters in North America, Jiao Fangtao immediately guessed that the Chinese person might be Xiao Yunhai.

Hence, he asked Xiao Yunhai about it.

Xiao Yunhai said in surprise: "How did Director Jiao know?"

Jiao Fangtao said happily: "It really is you. I'm just guessing."

Wu Jun showed an unbelievable expression on his face, and said: "Yunhai, you are really amazing. In just over two years, you have done something that no one else could do in ten lifetimes. I, Wu Jun, am convinced of you. "

Xiao Yunhai waved his hands quickly, and said, "Mr. Wu is serious. Now that the two of you have started this topic, don't you think that "Xiao Cui" will be screened in major theaters in North America?"

Jiao Fangtao nodded and said, "That's right. I don't know what you think?"

Xiao Yunhai frowned, and said, "Director Jiao, don't blame me for speaking too bluntly. Movies with themes like "Xiao Cui" are really not suitable for foreign fans, they simply don't understand."

Jiao Fangtao and Wu Jun smiled acquaintedly, and at the same time showed a look that was so true.

Jiao Fangtao said: "Yunhai, I have naturally considered your question, so I made two versions at once. One for internal and one for external. Are you free now? I would like to invite you to the screening room of Brilliant Film and Television Company take a look."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "It seems that the two teachers are already prepared. No problem, let's go now."

Soon, the three of them came to the building of Brilliant Film and Television Company. After the boss Chu Heng got the news, he brought the hero and heroine of the movie downstairs to greet them in person.

After Xiao Yunhai saw Chu Heng, he quickly came to him, held his hand, and said, "Mr. Chu, how can I, Xiao Yunhai, dare to ask you to come down in person?"

Chu Heng laughed loudly, and said: "It should be. Mr. Xiao came to Brilliant Film and Television Company in person to make our place flourish. Let me introduce you. This is Zheng Ge, the heroine of the movie "Xiaocui". Don't look at it." He is young, but his acting skills are very good, please take care of him in the future."

Zheng Ge said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, in front of Mr. Xiao, you must not mention your age and acting skills. Compared with Mr. Xiao, I am really ashamed."

Xiao Yunhai shook hands with him, and said: "Mr. Zheng is polite. Since Director Jiao can let you play the male lead, it indirectly shows your acting skills. Sister Lan, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Xiao Cui was played by Xiao Yunhai's original heroine Lan Xin when she guest starred in "Wulin". I heard that she went home to have a baby after filming "Wulin", but she didn't expect her comeback so soon.

Lan Xin smiled charmingly, and said: "I knew you were not someone in the pool at the beginning, but I didn't expect that in just two years, you have reached the point where no one in the world doesn't know you, it's really amazing."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Sister Lan has won the prize. Mr. Chu, let's watch a movie quickly. I need to pick someone up at the airport at six o'clock in the afternoon."

Chu Heng smiled and said, "Okay, let's go there right away."

Everyone talked and laughed, and went upstairs together.

A service desk lady next to her was staring at Xiao Yunhai, her eyes were full of stars, until everyone got into the elevator, she said with admiration: "My God, I finally saw Emperor Yun in person, so handsome Ya. As expected of my idol."

Another service desk lady said: "Yes. It would be great if I could have a word with him, or take a photo with him."

Six people came to the screening room, and the movie started soon.

Xiao Yunhai has read "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", and he still has some impressions of Xiao Cui's article.

Obviously, Jiao Fangtao performed a major operation on it. It is no longer a simple story of the fox repaying his favor, but has been greatly expanded outwards, focusing on the unswerving love between Xiaocui and Wang Yuanzhi. During the period of love, the Black Mountain Old Demon and the Shushan Sword School even appeared. In Xiao Yunhai's eyes, they were a collection of Xiao Cui and a Chinese Ghost Story.

The special effects are very beautiful and realistic. The Shushan Sword School is like a fairyland on earth. Xiaocui's body, the nine-tailed fox, is even more dazzling and eye-catching. With the exquisite costumes, plump plot, and vivid characters, overall Come on, it is indeed a rare fairy tale movie.

It's just that Xiao Yunhai looked a little nondescript, and it always felt a little weird when the giant Chinese mythology was spoken in English.

Of course, he also knew that this might be his own fault. If a foreigner came to see it, he might not feel this way.

Jiao Fangtao obviously spent a lot of effort on this version, especially the lines, which were translated very well.

The movie lasts 120 minutes, and finally ends with Wang Yuanzhi and Xiao Cui working together to kill the old Heishan demon who destroyed Shushan.

After the movie ended, Chu Heng, Jiao Fangtao and others all looked at Xiao Yunhai.

Xiao Yunhai smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Chu spent a lot of money on this movie, right?"

Chu Heng nodded and said, "A total of 5000 billion 3000 million. Among them, the special effects cost [-] million."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Mr. Chu, I didn't cheat you. Don't say anything else, just the scenery of Mount Shu, without [-] million yuan, can't afford it. Special effects are actually burning money. It costs millions or even tens of millions. Director Jiao has done so meticulously on this, it is impossible without a cost of hundreds of millions."

Jiao Fangtao sighed, and said, "Yes. Just like the body of Lan Xin's nine-tailed fox, it took the magic special effects artist a full month to make it. I have to say, they are really amazing. I want to thank you. If you go to other companies in Hollywood to do it, the effect of this raising, if it is not worth a billion, don’t even think about it.”

Lan Xin smiled and said, "Yunhai, what do you think of this movie being screened abroad? Can it sell well?"

Chapter 673 Release of "Xiao Cui"

Hearing Lan Xin's words, everyone looked at Xiao Yunhai together, waiting for his reply.

No way, this movie is too important to them.

Because of the economic crisis and the slump of domestic films, the stock price of Chu Heng's Brilliant Entertainment company plummeted by 30.00%, and he was counting on "Xiao Cui" to open up the situation for him.If it can be screened abroad, it will undoubtedly be very important to Chu Heng.

Zheng Ge is a key artist launched by Brilliant Company. Although he is only 24 years old, he is already an old drama star. He has participated in no less than thirty movies and TV series. He needs to have a good appearance and acting skills. For some reason, he is just not popular. stand up.

Lan Xin didn't come back for a long time. Due to the reason of giving birth to a child, her popularity and value plummeted. She urgently needs a work to restore her popularity.

If "Xiao Cui" can earn more than [-] million US dollars at the box office abroad, then the status of Zheng Ge and Lan Xin in the circle will definitely skyrocket.

Therefore, although the three of them could not see anything on the surface, they were still very nervous in their hearts.

Director Jiao Fangtao and Wu Jun, who plays the head of Shushan Mountain, are quite relaxed.Of course they hope that "Xiao Cui" can be released abroad, but relatively speaking, it is not that urgent.

Xiao Yunhai said: "This movie is indeed very good, and foreign audiences should be able to understand it. I can help bring it to major theaters in North America."

When Chu Heng heard it, he said happily: "That's great. Mr. Xiao, if you are grateful, I won't say anything. As long as I, Chu Heng, can do anything in the future, I will never say anything else."

Xiao Yunhai said: "President Chu, don't be too happy, I haven't finished my sentence yet. According to the agreement I signed with major Hollywood film companies, the number of films scheduled for the first three days ranges from 20.00% to 40.00%. But from the fourth From the beginning of the day, if the film's performance is not good and the attendance rate is not good, then it will face the problem of reducing the film schedule. Even my film is the same, I hope President Chu and Director Jiao will understand this point."

Jiao Fangtao nodded and said, "It's normal. If it still doesn't work after three days, we'll admit it."

Xiao Yunhai asked: "President Chu, what are you going to do with foreign propaganda?"

Chu Heng said: "Mr. Xiao, you have released two films abroad, can you tell us about your experience?"
