Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Chapter 910 Planning to Shoot Spider-Man

Hanks originally thought that 20 billion US dollars should be no problem, but Xiao Yunhai still refused to agree, he couldn't help frowning, and asked with some dissatisfaction: "Why? You won't be hostile to us like other Hollywood companies, right? "

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "I'm an outsider just like Steer, so where is the hostility coming from? Mr. Hanks, do you know how much I expect from these two superheroes? I can tell You, just relying on them, I have the confidence to earn back the entire Marvel."

When Hanks heard this, he took a breath and said, "This is impossible."

Xiao Yunhai spent a full 200 billion U.S. dollars to buy Marvel at the time, which can be said to have far exceeded its market value, but now he said that if he wants to earn back a Marvel with two of the superheroes, that means "Spider-Man" ", "Superman" can bring him a profit of 200 billion US dollars, no matter how Hanks thinks, he thinks it is impossible.

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Facts will prove that I am right. Mr. Hanks, after a while, I will choose a director for the second "Spider-Man" movie, so I am sorry to let you come here for nothing."

Hanks took a deep look at Xiao Yunhai, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he said politely: "In that case, I'm sorry."

Watching Hanks' car slowly leave his field of vision, Xiao Yunhai was thoughtful.

The other party's last gaze did not escape Xiao Yunhai's eyes, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and his original good impression of Hanks collapsed in an instant.

"This is a duplicity, a guy who hides a knife in his smile."

Xiao Yunhai evaluated him like this in his heart.

After drinking coffee with Hanks, Xiao Yunhai came to an Italian steak restaurant, and it was Vincent who invited him.

I just drank Italian coffee and came to eat Italian steak again. This morning I can be regarded as a bar with Italy.

After finding Xiao Yunhai coming, Vincent looked at his watch and said, "Xiao, you are 10 minutes late, this is not a good habit."

Xiao Yunhai unceremoniously sat across from Vincent, and said: "I just chatted with Hanks, the new CEO of Paramount, so I wasted time, and I apologize to you."

"Hanks?" Hearing the name, Vincent paused for a moment, and asked, "He came to you? Haha, apparently he has no good intentions. How do you feel about him?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "General. Do you know him?"

Vincent nodded, and said: "That's right. This guy is a bastard, and he is notorious on Wall Street. But he is very capable, otherwise Stell Technology would not have appointed him as the CEO of Paramount. Xiao, you must be careful of him in the future. By the way, what does he want from you?"

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "I wanted to use 20 billion US dollars to buy the film adaptation rights of my Spider-Man and Superman, but I rejected it."

Vincent nodded, and said: "Hanks is terribly small-minded, and he will take revenge. I'm afraid you are already registered in his heart."

Xiao Yunhai thought about the look in the other party's eyes when he was about to leave, and said: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up, I am still afraid that he will fail. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Vincent said: "About the promotion of the album, what are you going to do?"

"I should ask you about this, right? The company is responsible for this, okay? I only have one request, try not to let me participate in any programs and press conferences. This is what annoys me the most."

"can."

Xiao Yunhai was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Yes? You really don't need me to go around promoting it?

Vincent laughed: "Of course. I thought of the best publicity strategy. That is to put one of your songs on my wonderful music website first, and use it to attract fans in the United States. Then tell me that you like this song Fans, another song of yours that is not inferior to it has been produced into a single and will be released in the United States. I believe the results will be good. At the same time, it will hit the Billboard singles list in the United States. With this three-pronged approach, Take turns bombing on the Internet, TV, and radio, haha, it will be difficult for your album to become popular by then."

Xiao Yunhai snorted and said with a sneer: "At the same time, you guys can also use these songs to earn extra money, right?"

Vincent said with a grin, "Of course. There are so many good songs, how can we be worthy of us if we don't make more money. Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely have half of yours by then."

Xiao Yunhai shrugged, and said: "It's still the same sentence, you have the final say on the matter of publicity. Since I won't be needed, then I will return to Huaxia in two days."

Vincent said: "Xiao, let me tell you in advance that the songs in your album must be put on my wonderful music website, and cannot be given to others."

Xiao Yunhai said angrily: "Nonsense, I won't give it to anyone. But Huaxia can't do it, I want to keep it for Jiujiu Music Network."

A few days ago, Hu Yaoting called and said that she got 220% of the shares of Jiujiu Music Network for 20.00 billion U.S. dollars, which is a big bargain.

As a result, Xiao Yunhai owns 20.5% of the shares.

According to the development situation of Jiujiu.com, it is estimated that in less than two years, all the investment will be fully returned.

Vincent smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem."

After eating, Xiao Yunhai came to Marvel Comics and met the person in charge, Raul.

"I'm going to start filming the second "Spider-Man", what do you think?" Xiao Yunhai sat on the boss chair and asked.

Raul's eyes lit up, and he said, "Boss, if you are going to shoot "Spider-Man", I am very much in favor."

Xiao Yunhai said: "I watched the first "Spider-Man" before, and my evaluation was only two words rubbish. Originally, the protagonist of this kind of superhero should always be the same person, but the failure of the last time made it impossible for me to do it again. Believe him. In my opinion, the performance of this actor is really bad."

Raul nodded and said, "Boss, I understand what you mean. I wonder which director you choose to direct this movie?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It's very simple, audition."

After seeing Hanks, Xiao Yunhai suddenly felt that it was time to take pictures of these superheroes, so as not to be missed by others.

As for the script, Xiao Yunhai can just copy the Spider-Man movie from his previous life, but the scene must be bigger.

However, this requires finding a director who best fits the temperament of the script.

"Audition?"

Raul was stunned for a while, his eyes were a little puzzled.In his cognition, actors have always auditioned, and he has never heard of directors needing auditions.

Xiao Yunhai said: "Hollywood has always been a producer-centered system. Although this system has its advantages, I still think it is best for a film to be decided by the director. After all, the director is the one who actually shoots it. People. Therefore, when I invest in a movie, I usually never go to the director’s crew to tell me what to do, because it will disrupt his thinking and bring him a lot of trouble. However, if you want to make me feel at ease, the first thing is that the director It has to fit."

"I asked them to come to the audition, and it was actually just a chat, to find a director who had the same idea as me."

Lauer said: "Okay, boss, I will go to the Directors' Union to release this information. I think there should be many directors interested in Spider-Man."

In the entertainment industry, the hardest thing to do is not the artist, but the director.

There may be dozens or even hundreds of actors in a play, but there is only one director, of course co-directors are not counted.

If it is said that actors are one in a million, then the director is undoubtedly one in a thousand, or even one in a thousand.

This is why directors are paid far more than actors, because they pay more.

A superhero blockbuster like "Spider-Man" itself has a strong mass base. Anyone who lives in the United States knows about Spider-Man.Therefore, the chance of success is much higher than that of other types of movies, and it will naturally arouse the interest of Hollywood directors.

Chapter 911 Looking for Director

Sure enough, the directors' union just spread the news. Good guy, in just one day, hundreds of directors came to submit their resumes.

Xiao Yunhai spent one night carefully reading all the resumes, and finally chose five of them.

However, he did not let five people come together, but arranged them in order based on their grades and his own expectations, and asked them to come and audition one by one.

It's a pity that although the first four directors had dazzling brilliance before, their shooting concepts did not conform to "Spider-Man", which made Xiao Yunhai very disappointed.

The fifth director, Plancico, is a very special person. He once made seven films. The first three were big hits, the middle two broke even, and the last two failed with no underwear left.
