Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Then you can go to Huaxia again. Compared with before, Huaxia has undergone earth-shaking changes."

Bi Kewen said: "I went there once the year before last, and it has indeed changed a lot, but the Chinese food has not changed, and it is still so delicious."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "If you have the opportunity to go to Yanjing, I can take you to eat the whole city of Yanjing."

Bi Kewen said with a pun: "I hope this opportunity will come as soon as possible. Mr. Xiao, I think you should know the reason for my call, right?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Kerry told me that after you finished filming "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", you have been busy with the preparations for "Lord of the Rings", and it seems that the progress is not particularly smooth."

Bi Kewen said without concealment: "I spent a month looking for more than 30 large and small film companies, and none of them were willing to invest in the "Lord of the Rings" movie. Mr. Xiao, you are also a world-class director. , I wonder what you think of "Lord of the Rings"?"

Xiao Yunhai thought for a while, and said: "I am very clear about the thinking of those film companies. The background of "Lord of the Rings" is too huge, and there are many races. They want to make the picture realistic and perfectly present the entire Middle-earth world on the screen. In terms of special effects alone, you can’t get it without a billion dollars. If you add the actors’ salaries, shooting costs, etc., hehe, the three films cost at least 25 billion dollars. Therefore, even if you are the most expensive in Hollywood One of the most powerful directors, and no company dares to take this risk. Because it is too crazy. If something goes wrong, their company may also be ruined."

Chapter 702 Agreed

In the previous life, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy cost a total of 2.7 million US dollars, but in this world where the entertainment industry is highly developed, this amount of money is not enough to pay the actors.

After listening to Xiao Yunhai's words, Bi Kewen on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said: "Mr. Xiao, you are an excellent director. No matter what I say or explain, I can't convince you. I just want to ask In a word, are you willing to invest 25 billion US dollars in this movie?"

Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said: "If I were a simple businessman, then I would definitely not invest. Unfortunately, I am also a director, so I know what you think very well. With my dreamy and magical special effects technology, it is completely reasonable The ability to bring the world in the novel to the big screen. Therefore, I can tell you clearly that I, Xiao Yunhai, am willing to invest in this magical production. Even if I lose all my money in the end, I will accept it."

Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Bi Kewen's breathing became short of breath, and he shouted in disbelief: "My God, I heard that right. Mr. Xiao, are you really willing to invest in "Lord of the Rings"?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "That's right. Director Bi Kewen, the special effects company is mine, so there is no problem in this regard. As for the shooting cost, 18 billion US dollars should be more than enough."

Bi Kewen's voice was trembling with excitement, and he said, "Great. Mr. Xiao, I really don't know what to say. Don't worry, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy will definitely become the best-selling and most classic movie in the history of the world. series of films."

Xiao Yunhai said: "I believe this. Mr. Bi Kewen, have you bought the copyright of this novel? Can you send me a copy of the script? I want to read it."

Bi Kewen said with a smile: "I bought all the copyrights of the novel a long time ago, and it took me another two years to write the complete script. Mr. Xiao, you are also a big expert in script writing, so you just need to correct me. "

Xiao Yunhai said: "You are too modest, I will definitely read it carefully."

Bi Kewen said: "Mr. Xiao, I heard that you are going back to Yanjing tomorrow. I wonder if you can go back one day later, because I can only arrive in Los Angeles in the afternoon at the earliest."

Xiao Yunhai said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bi Kewen, we will hold the Jinzun Film Festival in Huaxia on March 3th, and I have to prepare in advance."

Bi Kewen sighed and said, "That's a pity."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "There is nothing to regret. Mr. Bi Kewen, if you want to make "Lord of the Rings", you must use a lot of special effects shots, and my dream special effects company is in Yanjing. So, no matter what, I have to come. At that time, I will wait for you in Yanjing."

Bi Kewen smiled and said, "You're right. Well, see you in Yanjing."

After the two finished talking, Xiao Yunhai broadcast Kerry's number directly on the phone.

"Xiao, is Director Bi Kewen looking for you? Haha, that's right, I told him. You don't need to thank me."

Kerry picked up the phone and said gloatingly.

Xiao Yunhai said: "Kerry, the conversation I had with Director Bikwen was very speculative. I agree with many of his views. Therefore, I have already promised him to invest in this "Lord of the Rings". For the money, I will definitely treat you to a good drink."

Kerry on the other end of the phone was taken aback, and said anxiously, "Xiao, are you really planning to invest in this movie? Do you know its dangers?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "Of course I know. If "The Lord of the Rings" is successful, then these three movies will bring me at least tens of billions of wealth. On the contrary, if it fails, then I will lose everything. 25 All of the billions of dollars was wasted. However, Bi Kewen and I have enough confidence and ability to make this "Lord of the Rings" a great success."

Kerry was silent for a while, before he said, "Xiao, you are such a lunatic."

Xiao Yunhai giggled and said: "When I bought "Harry Potter", you said the same thing. It turns out that you were wrong. Kerry, don't say I didn't give you a chance, you'd better go together Join in, maybe "Lord of the Rings" can create a box office miracle in the history of movies."

Kerry said: "But it may also be a miracle in the history of film investment fiasco. Xiao, have you been brainwashed by Bi Kewen? I really regret letting him find you now."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Kerry, there is a saying in Huaxia that there can be several fights in life. I am still young and can afford to lose. In a word, do you want to participate?"

Without even thinking about it, Kerry said, "You're crazy, but I'm not crazy. Xiao, I can only wish you good luck. If the result is not satisfactory, don't blame me."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I just hope you don't regret it."

After talking with Kerry, Xiao Yunhai read the "Lord of the Rings" script sent by Bi Kewen.

It took him two hours to read all the scripts, and found that compared with the movies in his previous life, there were some differences between the two, and he was more faithful to the original than Ke Wen.

Tom Babendil and his wife Goldberry, which appeared in the script, did not appear in the movie of the previous life, and many plots of the elf lord Glorfindel and the brown-robed wizard Radgeist were also retained. down.Of course, there are many differences between the two.

However, these are just sidelines, and the main line of the story has not changed in any way.

Bi Kewen's script was written with great care, every detail was exhaustive, and Xiao Yunhai didn't find anything that needed to be changed.

I have to admit that a great director is a great director, and it's really not good.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Yunhai and his party successfully completed the task and flew back to Yanjing by plane.

The promotion of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is in full swing. Du Hongtai took the crew to various places to hold media conferences, and the actors in it also frequently appeared in the variety shows and talk shows of major TV stations.Posters are posted everywhere, and it is overwhelming on the Internet, and all major forums are full of it.

Xiao Yunhai's "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" has also gained a lot of glory. When people mention "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", they can't help but think of his martial arts novel, which saves him a lot of trouble.

Hua Mingquan of Sunshine Publishing House took over the promotion work of the novel, and posted the wonderful chapters of "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" online from time to time, but stopped at critical moments, which made martial arts fans unbearable, and the expectation value was naturally a straight line rise.

With less than three days left before the Jinzun Film Festival, Xiao Yunhai received a call from Ye Yongren.

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Ye Yongren got to the point.

"Yunhai, a few days ago, the Jinzun Organizing Committee invited me to perform a show at the film festival. After much deliberation, the theme song of "Infernal Affairs" is undoubtedly the most suitable. I wonder if you can sing with me?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Of course. Teacher Ye, why don't you call Teacher Huang and Teacher Liang. When the time comes, the four of us will appear together, which will definitely cause a sensation."

When Ye Yongren heard it, he said pleasantly: "Yes, why didn't I expect that. Both of them released albums when they were young, and there is no problem in singing on stage."

Xiao Yunhai said: "I will make a short film of "Infernal Affairs" tomorrow, and then arrange the music, and rehearse the day after tomorrow. What do you think?"

Ye Yongren laughed loudly, and said: "That's the way. I'll go to them two, and even if it's a matter of soft-heartedness, I will definitely ask them to agree."

Chapter 703 The Four Heavenly Kings Appear

Time flies, and the Huaxia Jinzun Film Festival was grandly opened on March [-]th.

This time the Jinzun Committee was good, it didn't separate Xiao Yunhai from Zhao Wanqing.

The two made their preparations early, and under the escort of a top luxury car, they set foot on the red carpet.

"boom."

When the movie fans saw the two people appear, the atmosphere of the whole scene was immediately detonated. Screams, noises, roars, trumpets, the sound shook the sky, pouring towards the two like a tide.

The shutters of the video cameras, cameras, and DVs in the hands of the reporters could be heard endlessly, and the flashlight even illuminated the scene as bright as day.

What Xiao Yunhai is wearing today is still a suit specially tailored for him by Haoyu Clothing, paired with a white shirt, which complements his aura perfectly, making him look extremely handsome.

Zhao Wanqing next to her was even more charming, wearing a red and white cheongsam, showing off her beautiful and slender figure.The black shawl and long hair are coiled on the head, the fair and pink oval face, with light makeup on, holding a red bag in his hand, amidst the elegance and elegance, without losing the style of oriental women.
