Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

"Mr. Xiao, our boss has already agreed to your two conditions. There is no problem with [-] million US dollars, but the time is too short, and we may not be able to raise this much money. Therefore, we hope you can give us two days, the day after tomorrow Before two o'clock in the afternoon, a check for [-] million U.S. dollars must be delivered to you."

When Xiao Yunhai heard this, he frowned and said, "Mr. Cole, are you joking? It's only [-] million U.S. dollars, and it takes two days to raise it. Hehe, I think you guys have ulterior motives. Let's hear it." , what means are you going to use to deal with me?"

Cole said: "Mr. Xiao, you misunderstood us. We are indeed in trouble. Two hundred million dollars may not be a big amount to you. You can earn several two hundred million dollars for one movie. But for us to publish As far as the company is concerned, this is not the case, and it might affect our normal operation. Mr. Xiao, for the sake of our cooperation in the last "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", you can Hold your hand high and give us a little time."

Although Cole spoke pitifully, Xiao Yunhai didn't believe a single word in his heart.The four famous publishing houses in Europe can't come up with [-] million US dollars, so what kind of international jokes are they making?

However, Xiao Yunhai didn't want to push too hard, so he said: "I can only give you one day at most. Before [-] o'clock tomorrow afternoon, I must see [-] million U.S. dollars in my bank card. One penny less, These things will be sent to lawyers. Also, I hope you don’t play tricks on me, otherwise, it’s not just a matter of [-] million US dollars.”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yunhai directly hung up the phone.

Cole's angry face turned blue for a while, then turned pale for a while, and finally said viciously: "This Xiao is really hateful."

Green said: "No way, who let us be caught by him. Let's find a hotel and wait for news. I hope the boss can find a solution."

The four of them left angrily without even saying hello to Jesse.

Holding a glass of red wine, Jesse stood in front of the window of his office, looked at the four people who were about to get into the car, and muttered, "These greedy guys are really rude, and they don't even tell their masters when they want to leave."

After Xiao Yunhai returned to the villa, he went to his study and played with the computer all afternoon.

Originally, I thought I would receive a lot of pleading calls, but I didn't expect that there was not a single call until six o'clock in the afternoon.

Xiao Yunhai felt a faint unease in his heart.

He didn't believe that these misers would honestly hand over [-] million US dollars to him.Since he didn't find anyone to intercede, he might have to force it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai was not only not afraid, but was eager to try.

In his previous life, he was not a peaceful person. In this world, he has learned almost invincible kung fu, and he is even more fearless in his heart. He even looks forward to their coming so that he can show off his skills.

Before, he had made an appointment with Kerry and Jesse to have dinner together in the evening.Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Yunhai put on his clothes and drove to the agreed French restaurant.

Kerry and Jesse seemed to have just arrived and were negotiating with the service staff with the menu.

Xiao Yunhai walked over and said with a smile: "Hi, Kerry, we haven't seen each other for a long time. What have you been up to lately?"

Kerry handed the menu to the waiter, told him to serve three cups of coffee first, and then said to Xiao Yunhai: "I have been in the crew of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" for more than two months. You know, this movie Now is our cornucopia at MGM, and I dare not be sloppy."

Xiao Yunhai sat down and said with a smile: "That's right."

Kerry sighed, and said, "Xiao, you Huaxia are really confusing."

Xiao Yunhai asked in confusion: "What do you mean by that? I didn't understand."

Kerry said with a depressed face: "Don't mention it, the box office of our MGM movie in China last month was simply horrible. The messy sci-fi movies that were still popular in the past two months suddenly encountered Waterloo last month." .The big investment of [-] million US dollars in Huaxia only got [-] million Huaxia coins at the box office. My God, when I saw the report, I couldn't believe my eyes. I can't figure it out, why is that?"

When Xiao Yunhai was filming the crazy series of movies, MGM's sci-fi blockbuster "Alien Relics" landed in theaters all over the world, but unfortunately it only got a box office of 14 billion U.S. dollars in the end. It was a mess.

Not only MGM, but other Hollywood companies' block office box office is not much better.Especially China, the decline is the most serious.

Xiao Yunhai frowned, and said, "Kerry, how long did it take you to shoot "Alien Ruins" from the beginning of preparation to the final completion?"

Kerry was taken aback, thought for a while, and said, "About five months."

"What about the original "Dinosaur Wars" and "Interstellar"?"

"It took two years for "Dinosaur Wars", and one and a half years for "Interstellar". Are you saying that we were too eager for quick success and didn't make movies seriously?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Isn't it? Although I haven't seen this movie, I dare say that "Alien Ruins" can't catch up with "Interstellar" in terms of details, right?"

Kerry nodded, and said: "I admit this. Although the work efficiency of your magic special effects company has improved a lot, it is indeed a bit rushed to complete a large-scale production with a special effects shot of more than 70.00% in five months. "

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Of course, this is only a secondary reason. The real main reason is that Chinese movie fans are already a little tired of your movies. Since the beginning of the year, your Hollywood aggressively attacked the Chinese movie world, what action movies, science fiction movies? , Magic movies are all entering the theaters. Kerry, Huaxia has a saying that too much is too much. If you are a movie fan, let you watch a few or even a dozen movies of the same type within half a year, I am afraid you will not be able to stand it .”

"Let's put it this way, you've overdrawn the box office potential of Hollywood movies in advance to make money. Unless you can innovate or release the same type of movie after a while, the result will definitely be the same."

Chapter 806

Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Kerry shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not easy to innovate. Did you know that "Alien Ruins" would lose to a small investment movie of 2000 million US dollars in China, ha ha, This hit us hard. The eight film giants got together and had a whole day of meetings, but nothing was proposed."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "You should work hard on the script. Don't always stare at any blockbuster movie. Even if it's a feature film with a small investment, as long as the storyline is wonderful, it can still run rampant in the world movie circle."

Kerry said thoughtfully: "I understand. It's a pity that few people in Hollywood can write a movie as wonderful as your "Infernal Affairs."

Speaking of this, Kerry suddenly looked at Xiao Yunhai.

Before he could open his mouth, Xiao Yunhai seemed to know what he was going to say, and quickly waved his hands and said, "You'd better not think of me. I don't have the ability to write a script suitable for your shooting."

Kerry complimented: "You are really too humble. Don't I know your ability? As long as you are diligent and use your brain a little, writing a script is not easy."

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Come on. No matter how high you put the hat on, it won't be of any use."

Kerry sighed, and said: "It seems that we can only start with those well-known screenwriters. By the way, I heard from Jesse that the four major European publishing houses have offended you?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "That's right. Do you think I'm too kind? Why do people always make trouble for me?"

When Jesse heard this, he almost spit out the coffee in his mouth, and said, "Xiao, can we not be joking? A guy who wants [-] million dollars in hush money actually says he is too kind. God, if this If it is considered kind, then wouldn’t I be an angel.”

Kerry was there too, laughing non-stop, like he had heard some good joke.

Xiao Yunhai shook his head, and said: "You two guys, you are so sympathetic. Hehe, I guess they will send someone to teach me a lesson."

Jesse was taken aback, looked at Kerry, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "I didn't receive a call to plead for mercy this afternoon. Don't you think there is a problem?"

Kerry frowned, and said: "This is indeed unreasonable. With the virtues of these people, it is impossible to obediently hand over so much money. Xiao, I will call the company now and ask them to send some bodyguards over protect you."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "No need. I'm bored, it's best if someone bothers me."

Seeing Xiao Yunhai's nonchalant expression, Jesse persuaded, "Xiao, I know you know Chinese Kung Fu, but the national conditions of America and China are different. Those people are not unarmed, but have something in their hands."

Xiao Yunhai said: "I know. Don't worry, as long as it's not a bazooka or other weapon, no one can hurt me. Besides, we are only guessing, and it may not necessarily happen."

Kerry said, "What if they did that?"

Xiao Yunhai stretched out five fingers, and said: "That's [-] million US dollars. Every family must give me [-] million US dollars, otherwise I will let them die."

Kerry laughed and said, "I hope they don't do such stupid things."

Having said that, Kerry still made a call and asked the company to send some bodyguards over.

Regarding Kerry's concern, although Xiao Yunhai didn't say anything, he was very grateful in his heart, and looked at him with a little more warmth than usual.

After eating, Xiao Yunhai drove home, followed by a black car, who was sent by Kerry to protect him.

Nothing happened along the way, Xiao Yunhai thought that he was a little nervous.
