Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

From the beginning to the end, Xiao Yunhai did not hear any problems.

It wasn't until the last sentence that he realized what the problem was.

Dominique is an actor for Paramount.

A few days ago, Xiao Yunhai cooperated with Lyandel of Thunder Pictures to win Anger's position as chairman of the board of directors of Paramount Cinemas. I heard that Lyandel's first order after taking office was to change Paramount Cinemas to This made Ange furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Xiao Yunhai dared to bet that besides Leander, the person An Ge hated the most right now must be himself.Dominique's refusal to shoot should also have something to do with Paramount.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai said, "If we find another actor to shoot, how much money will we need?"

Bi Kewen exclaimed: "This is absolutely impossible. There are only three scenes left for Dominic, and it can be completed in less than a day. Changing another actor will not only cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but also waste a huge amount of money for the crew. Energy. Mr. Xiao, I have already made an appointment with him, and I will meet him in New York tomorrow. Unless it is absolutely necessary, don’t take this step.”

Xiao Yunhai sighed, and said: "Director Bi Kewen, he is not in charge of Donimike's affairs. Paramount should be the one behind the scenes. The reason is to cause trouble for me."

Xiao Yunhai told Bi Kewen about An Ge's matter from beginning to end.

Bi Kewen said: "So that's the case. However, Mr. Xiao, your understanding of Hollywood is still a bit one-sided. Although Donimike is not a superstar in the 4000 million club, his worth of 200 million is already the highest among Hollywood actors." It's top-notch. Such actors and companies usually have a cooperative relationship, and the contracts signed are very free. As long as Donimick himself agrees, Paramount has nothing to do."

Xiao Yunhai said happily: "So that's it. Well, I'll go there with you tomorrow. If he doesn't agree, then I'd rather spend an extra [-] million U.S. dollars to replace him."

Bi Kewen said: "I hope Donimike won't let us take this step."

The two confirmed the time to meet in New York and hung up the phone.

Xiao Yunhai returned to the living room, looked at Zhao Wanqing and said, "My wife, I'm sorry, I need to go to America."

Zhao Wanqing had expected it a long time ago, and said with a smile, "Are you going to shoot the album MV?"

Xiao Yunhai nodded, shook his head again, and said, "It's not just about this matter. Something went wrong with the filming of "Lord of the Rings", and I need to go and deal with it."

Zhao Wanqing was startled, and said, "What happened to "Lord of the Rings"? Is it important?"

She is very aware of Xiao Yunhai's fancy for the movie "The Lord of the Rings", and has already invested 12 billion US dollars in it. I heard that in one month, all the scenes will be over. She didn't expect that there would be a show at the last moment. question.

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "It's just some minor problems, and they will be dealt with soon."

Could it be a small problem that Xiao Yunhai could handle in person?Zhao Wanqing wouldn't believe it even if she was beaten to death.

However, she didn't ask more questions, but said something like Xiao Yunhai pay attention to safety.

That night, Xiao Yunhai got on the passenger plane to New York.

When I landed at New York International Airport, it was around ten o'clock in the morning in New York time. The sun was very bright, and it was very comfortable to bask in the sun.

Coming out of the airport, Xiao Yunhai immediately saw Bi Kewen wearing an old felt hat.

Seeing Xiao Yunhai, Bi Kewen greeted them with a smile and hugged each other.

Xiao Yunhai said: "Director Bi Kewen, I kept you waiting."

Bi Kewen shook his head and said with a smile: "I just arrived too. I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, I apologize to you again for my negligence."

Xiao Yunhai waved his hand, and said: "To be exact, it should be my fault, the crew is just affected. Where is Domick?"

Bi Kewen looked at his watch and said, "He invited us to a coffee shop for coffee. In half an hour, it will be time."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Since Donimike didn't refuse to meet with us, it means that there is still a turning point in the matter. Let's go there quickly, and don't make him wait too long."

Chapter 904 Meet Dominic

The two arrived at a very high-end cafe by car, and there were only two tables of people inside.

At the table on the left is a young man and woman, who seem to be in love, and burst into laughter from time to time.

At another table near the window, sat two middle-aged men, both well-dressed.One of them was about 30 years old, with a slightly elongated face and piercing eyes.

Previously, he had seen Donimike's film in school, although the reality was quite different from the film, Xiao Yunhai still recognized him.

Sure enough, Bi Kewen led Xiao Yunhai and walked towards them.

Donimike quickly got up, shook hands with Bi Kewen, and said, "Director Bi Kewen, I'm really sorry for making you come this far. This should be Mr. Xiao, the investor of "Lord of the Rings", right?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Mick, hello. I remember that when I was studying in Huaxia Yanjing Film School, the school organized us to watch two of your films. I was amazed by your performance at that time. Today is finally a I saw the real thing."

Dominique shook his head, and said: "The three movies "Jing Wu Heroes", "Infernal Affairs", and "Inception" have impressed me deeply. There is a word in Huaxia called both civil and martial arts. Sir, please sit down, both of you."

Bi Kewen and Xiao Yunhai sat down at the same time.

Dominique said: "Mr. Xiao, Director Bi Kewen, I know that you are here to let me finish filming the next scene. Logically speaking, I should have the beginning and the end. But there are some things that I can't help myself."

Xiao Yunhai smiled, did not speak, but looked at the middle-aged man next to him, and said, "Is this Mr. Ilya the manager of Paramount Brokerage Company?"

Ilya smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao misunderstood, I am the manager of the WMA agency. Generally speaking, the top Hollywood artists will not use our company's manager, so as not to appear that the manager and the company will cooperate with each other in case of disputes." Dealing with artists."

Xiao Yunhai nodded, and said: "Sorry, I'm ignorant. Hollywood's approach is very good, and it fully reflects the respect for the interests of artists. Since you are not Paramount's manager, I'll just say it straight. Mr. Dominique, if my guess is correct, the reason why you are unwilling to film the remaining scenes is because you are worried about offending Paramount, one of the Big Eight, right?"

Dominic was startled and said, "How do you know?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Because I just pulled Ange, an old guy, from the position of chairman of the board of directors of Paramount Theater, of course he wants to take revenge. It's just that he can't do anything to me in any way. There is no way , I can only let you, the Hollywood actor, block me. I don’t know, what did the other party say? Don’t mind telling me.”

Dominic took a sip of his coffee and glanced at Ilya.

Ilya nodded, and said: "Mr. Xiao, Director Birkwin, Mr. Ange came to us personally and asked Dominic to refuse to shoot the remaining scenes of "Lord of the Rings" because he did not meet the contract requirements. Otherwise, Dominic's acting There will likely be very big troubles on the road. Not only will we lose a film that we previously negotiated, but we may also be hidden. You know, the actor's guild can't intervene in this matter."

"On the contrary, if we promise him, not only will we become the protagonist of a blockbuster next month, but we will also have two commercial blockbusters waiting for us next year. Dominique and Paramount still have two years of contract to expire. choose."

After listening to Ilya's words, Xiao Yunhai couldn't help being speechless.

Sure enough, the world is as black as crows.

I thought Hollywood had an actor union to support the actors. This kind of thing should rarely happen, but I didn't expect it to be the same as Huaxia.

Bi Kewen frowned, and said, "Dominic, you only have three scenes left now, and they are still the most important three scenes. If you quit now, it would be equivalent to stabbing the crew severely. Deadly, but it will make us sick and hospitalized, and stay for a long time. It is a little selfish of you to do that."

Ilya said: "Director Bikwen, you can't say that. After all, we didn't violate the contract."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "In China, a contract is far less than a favor. Mr. Dominia, do you know that you are like a weapon that An Ge launched to attack me, regardless of victory or defeat, he is intact, But you and I will both lose a lot."

"Mr. Xiao, what do you mean by that?"

"Tell me about me first. If you don't act in the next three scenes, then I can only change actors and reshoot the scenes you have filmed. It will cost me at least 5000 million US dollars. Said To be honest, to me, this 5000 million is not a big number, it can't hit me at all."

"But you are different. You have caused me to lose so much money, and I will never let you go. Mr. Dominia, do you believe that Paramount can block you for two years, but I have the ability to block you For the rest of my life. The entire North American theater chain has my shares, each of which accounts for more than [-]%. No matter who it is, it will give me face. If I tell them to block all the movies you will star in in the future, do you think these capitalists Will you offend me, the theater shareholder, for you?"

Having said that, Xiao Yunhai paused for a moment, and took a sip of coffee.

At this time, Dominia's face had become extremely pale, and the manager Ilya even looked at Xiao Yunhai with a hint of fear.
