Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Wu Hao pointed to a computer next to him and said, "You can put the plan on this computer, and then we will print it out."

Soon, a proposal with more than 60 pages appeared in Xiao Yunhai's hands.

Xiao Yunhai briefly read two pages, then handed it to Wu Hao, and said to Bi Kewen, "Mr. Bi Kewen, I wonder how long you have spent on this plan? The description is really too detailed."

Bi Kewen said with a smile: "I don't like accidents when I make movies, so I will try my best to make the preparations perfect without any omissions. It took me half a year to complete this proposal."

Xiao Yunhai nodded, and said in admiration: "It's no wonder your movies have never disappointed you. Just this meticulousness alone has surpassed more than 90.00% of directors. It seems that my decision to invest in "Lord of the Rings" is not wrong. .”

Bi Kewen said with a smile: "Thank you for your appreciation. The images of the entire movie have been engraved in my mind, and I firmly believe that I will make the best-selling magic series movie. Therefore, Mr. Xiao, I hope you can Give me all the rights to casting, forming and filming the crew. I know it's a bit too much to say, but I really don't want anyone to interfere with me."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Mr. Bi Kewen, don't worry, I promise I won't hinder you in any way."

Bi Kewen said happily: "That's really great, thank you for your trust in me."

Chapter 716

The two chatted for an entire hour. Most of the time, Bi Kewen was talking about Hollywood matters, while Xiao Yunhai sat there and listened quietly, but every time he made a comment, Bi Kewen became angry. A sense of confidant.

The more they talked, the more speculative they became, and they felt like they hated seeing each other late.

Wu Hao next to him was completely immersed in Bi Kewen's plan, imagining how to realize it.

Time passed slowly, Xiao Yunhai came here at three o'clock in the afternoon, and after Wu Hao read the proposal, it was already five thirty.

Xiao Yunhai asked: "Boss Wu, how are you doing?"

Wu Hao said confidently: "NOProblem"

Bi Kewen's eyes lit up, and he said, "Wu, do you mean that there are no problems with the scenes in the proposal?"

Wu Hao said: "Of course. I am more than 90.00% sure, and the other [-]% is not sure whether you will increase the difficulty in it?"

Bi Kewen said happily: 'That's great.Xiao, I hope to build a crew and choose actors as soon as possible. "

Xiao Yunhai nodded, and said: "Yes. I also need to shoot a movie recently, so I don't have time to go to America. If you have any questions, you can directly call Daniel, the person in charge of the magic work. In two days, I will send some financial personnel Bring the initial [-] million US dollars. They will follow the crew all the time, only responsible for cashiers, and will not affect your filming."

Bi Kewen said: "Great. Thank you, Xiao. Can we sign the contract now?"

Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "Of course."

Generally speaking, for a big director like Bi Kewen, the investors not only have to pay him a film salary, but also give him a share of the movie's profits.

In Hollywood, the best actors can get 4000 million US dollars in salary, while Bi Kewen's film director's salary is 500 million US dollars, which is not counted as a share.

It can be seen that Hollywood directors have a much higher status than actors.

After negotiation between the two, Xiao Yunhai will pay Bi Kewen 5000 million US dollars for the three movies. If the box office can exceed 120 billion US dollars, Xiao Yunhai will pay him [-]% of all profits.

After signing the contract, Xiao Yunhai invited Bi Kewen and Wu Hao to Quanjude for a meal of roast duck.

Bi Kewen couldn't stop praising while eating.

Before leaving, he packed two more.

The next morning, Bi Kewen and his assistants couldn't wait to leave Yanjing and return to the United States to prepare for the preparations for the crew.

After Xiao Yunhai sent him to the airport, he came directly to Hanhai, told his father-in-law Zhao Mingsheng, and asked him to help find some financial personnel who were proficient in English and he could trust him.

Without further ado, Zhao Mingsheng called the deputy head of Hanhai's finance department and asked him to lead the team to the "Lord of the Rings" crew.

Hearing that he was going to the crew of American director Bi Kewen, the deputy minister agreed without even thinking about it.

Time flies. As of March 25, the box office of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has exceeded 30 billion US dollars, and it has been on the throne of the world's box office champion for six consecutive days. Can it exceed 40 billion.

At the same time, Xiao Yunhai's martial arts novel "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" was also available in bookstores across China.

On the 24th, Xiao Yunhai received a call from Hua Mingquan, saying that the pre-ordered volume had exceeded 1000 million copies, so he wasn't worried about the sales volume of the novel at all.Conservatively estimated, it should be no problem to exceed 4000 million, which made Xiao Yunhai sigh again, a world without piracy would be great.

That night, the movie "Xiaocui" was screened simultaneously in major theaters in Asia and North America.

Especially in North America, the box office has almost sold out for three consecutive shows. Just like Chinese movie fans like Hollywood movies, foreign movie fans seem to be very interested in this kind of fairy tale movie from China. It may be very fresh.

The Ministry of Culture saw that after Xiao Yunhai, another director had achieved great success abroad, so it naturally wanted to publicize it well.Jiao Fangtao also enjoyed Xiao Yunhai's treatment back then. The news broadcast took 3 minutes to broadcast the grand occasion of foreign movie fans queuing up to buy movie tickets for "Xiao Cui".

Affected by it, the box office of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" fell to 4.28 million US dollars that day, which was not as high as the box office of "Xiao Cui" overnight.

The good news is one after another. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" invested by Xiao Yunhai premiered on the evening of the 26th. With the strong popularity of the novel, the ratings of Anhui TV Station directly exceeded 8.4%, and Henan TV Station was not far behind. , reaching [-]%, such a result made the director Du Hongtai who has been hanging on his heart very relieved.

In this way, many works related to Xiao Yunhai have achieved very dazzling results.

As of the end of March, the box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" invested by Xiao Yunhai reached 37 billion US dollars. After excluding the cost, he can get a profit of 700 million US dollars. Because of the success of the movie, the novel has sold [-] million copies .

The movie "Xiao Cui" became popular all over the world. In just five days, the global box office exceeded 28 billion US dollars, which is much stronger than "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".In particular, the box office in North America was particularly strong, earning 13.27 billion US dollars.According to the contract, Xiao Yunhai can get 30.00% of the income, which is almost 1.5 million US dollars.

The TV series "Legend of the Condor Heroes" has averaged an audience rating of 18.4% for five days.With such good ratings, Xiao Yunhai's advertising expenses naturally increased.

The actor Huang Meiling who played Huang Rong became popular overnight, from an ordinary girl to the ranks of first-line stars, just like the little swallow in her previous life, her acting skills were unanimously recognized by the industry and the audience.

This girl is very smart, and she didn't think about the solicitation of other entertainment companies. Instead, she contacted Xiao Yunhai through Du Hongtai's relationship, hoping to enter Hanhai Film and Television Investment Company.

Xiao Yunhai then told his father-in-law, Zhao Mingsheng, that Zhao Mingsheng would naturally not refuse such a good thing delivered to his door, so he asked the director of the brokerage department to sign her up the next day, and then assigned her a broker and assistant , bodyguards, drivers, makeup artists and other personnel.

In addition to Huang Meiling, Mu Nianci played by Dong Piaopiao is also very popular.I have to say that Dong Piaopiao is indeed very talented in acting. Huang Meiling played the role in her true colors, and she played the role of Mu Nianci so vividly based on her acting skills, which was affirmed by the outside world.

The sales volume of the martial arts novel "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" is advancing at an average rate of 300 million per day. Hua Mingquan's printing factory is working day and night, and the supply is still in short supply.The word-of-mouth of the novel is also very good, more than 90.00% of the major online forums are positive.So far, sales have broken the 2000 million mark.

Movies, TV dramas, and martial arts novels blossomed in all directions, which made Xiao Yunhai earn a lot of money, and at the same time greatly eased his financial pressure.

Chapter 717 Chen Qingqing's troubles

After working for many days, Xiao Yunhai finally finished writing the script of "Yongzheng Dynasty".

At this time, "Water Margin" has officially started filming, and the famous director Cheng Song succeeded Chen Qingqing as the new director of "Water Margin".

Xiao Yunhai specifically checked Cheng Song on the Internet, and found that he is 42 years old this year. He has entered the industry and filmed many historical-themed movies and TV shows.

Xiao Yunhai is not optimistic about him, because the Cheng Song introduced online is a bit soft, he treats people politely, and speaks very kindly, he is not a director who can control the scene. In "Water Margin", the actor, actress, veteran actors, first-line stars gather together, and there are two assistant directors who are not good enough. I want to care about this, and I want to ask. If Cheng Song can't get tough by then, I'm afraid it will be a problem. It will be very difficult to shoot this movie.

Of course, these had nothing to do with Xiao Yunhai. After he finished the script of "Yongzheng Dynasty", he called Chen Qingqing directly.

Chen Qingqing has been in a very irritable mood recently, and his wife is muttering in his ear all day long, which annoys him to death. The reason is "Water Margin".

It turns out that Chen Qingqing and his wife have a son named Chen Xiangyang. He just returned from studying in the United States this year. He majored in acting. He looks like his mother. He is very handsome. He is much better than Chen Qingqing.

As a father, Chen Qingqing naturally wanted to pave the way for his son.Coincidentally, he was invited by the Ministry of Culture to direct "Water Margin", so Chen Qingqing left the very flattering role of Zhong Yanqing, a hundred and eight generals, to Chen Xiangyang.

Chen Xiangyang really worked hard, not only watched "Water Margin" from beginning to end several times, but also signed up for an acting training class, asking the teacher to give him special training every day.
