Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

When everyone walked out of the airport, Xiao Yunhai immediately saw his butler Ivor Spencer and Wu Zixu who was working on the post-production stage of the English version of "Battle of the Red Cliff" in Hollywood.

"Director Wu, why are you here?"

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Jiao Fangtao asked.

Wu Zixu smiled and said: "I have been exposed to the light of the sea of ​​clouds, and I have been living in his villa. When I heard that you were coming, I came with Ivor."

Xiao Yunhai saw some foreign movie fans pointing at him, maybe he recognized him, so he said quickly: "Everyone, let's talk in the car."

Everyone nodded and walked to the parking lot.

Xiao Yunhai had told Ivor in advance that there were more than 30 people, so Ivor directly rented a bus that could accommodate 50 people to pick everyone up.

When we got back, a sumptuous dinner had already been prepared.

Xiao Yunhai waved his hand, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, let's fill our stomachs first, I am about to starve to death."

Everyone laughed.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Xiao Yunhai asked Wu Zixu next to him, "Director Wu, how is the later stage of "Battle of the Red Cliff" going? Is it going well?"

Wu Zixu sighed, and said: "It's very difficult. It took me and six filmmakers who are proficient in Chinese and Western cultures. It took more than a week, and in the end it was only one-third of the completion. Others are not difficult. , the most difficult thing is the translation of the lines. It is really not an easy thing to conform to the speaking habits of Westerners and prevent them from acting out of the lines when watching movies."

Xiao Yunhai pointed at Jiao Fangtao, and said with a smile: "Isn't there an expert here? Director Jiao, your "Xiao Cui" is just like our "Battle of the Red Cliff", both of which are period films. Don't hide it." Now, tell us about your good experience."

Jiao Fangtao smiled bitterly and said, "My English level is even difficult for ordinary communication. What do you want me to say? When I was working on "Xiao Cui", I just asked the translators, and they did the specific work. To be honest, even if they translate the donkey’s head to the horse’s mouth, I can’t understand it at all. Of course, after the completion, I found several groups of foreigners to watch, and they said it’s okay, so I dared to release it.”

Wu Zixu said: "Old Jiao, how long did it take you to finish "Xiao Cui"?"

Jiao Fangtao said: "For two whole months, I was going crazy at that time."

Wu Zixu twitched his lips and said, "I'm happier than you. Our "Battle of the Red Cliff" has much fewer lines than "Xiao Cui", so it's relatively easy to translate."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Okay, let's put aside the worrying things first. We are drunk today, so let's have a drink to our heart's content before we talk about it."

Xiao Yunhai raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "The Oscars will be held in two days. I wish our Huaxia Movies a successful start and success. Cheers."

"cheers."

That night, everyone drank until ten o'clock, and the atmosphere was very lively.

The next day, after breakfast, Xiao Yunhai went to the magic special effects company.

Looking at the company's recent financial statements and work performance, Xiao Yunhai smiled and said to Daniel: "You once told me that there is no problem with 30 billion US dollars in half a year. But when I look at the report, it seems that it is more than 30 billion."

Daniel said: "Boss, we are 30% able to complete the 42 billion US dollars. The other work is due to the problems of the film company and theaters. We can't guarantee that they will come to do post-production special effects as scheduled, so we haven't mentioned it to you." .If you count those, we're going to be $[-] billion in profit."

Xiao Yunhai nodded, and said, "Daniel, I'm very satisfied with what you've done. Let me tell you, this year's semi-annual award will be increased by 3000 US dollars per person on the basis of our agreement, in recognition of their efforts. The finance department will spend [-] million US dollars to reward some outstanding employees."

Daniel smiled and said, "Boss, you are so generous. I believe everyone will be overjoyed when they hear the news."

Xiao Yunhai said: "You make money for me, of course I won't treat you badly. Well, my time is limited and I need to go to Marvel Comics, so I won't have dinner with you at noon. Hey, our magic special effects company has left It's on the right track, but the problem of Marvel Comics is not enough."

Daniel comforted: "Boss, since you took over Marvel, you have done very well. "Transformers" comics have sold 7000 million copies in Europe and the United States, toys have exceeded 2000 million sets, and cartoons have even defeated Disney. "Tom and Jerry", now Marvel's market value has risen from 160 billion to 270 billion in one fell swoop, and Hollywood is saying that you have created another miracle."

Xiao Yunhai shook his head, and said: "These achievements are all based on the success of "Transformers". If you don't have it, look again, the difference is definitely not a little bit. You can't put all your eggs in one basket. Otherwise, if it accidentally falls on the ground, all the eggs will be destroyed."

After sending Xiao Yun to the sea car, Daniel returned to the company, clapped his hands, and said to the employees who were working: "I tell you a good news, our boss is very satisfied with everyone's recent work. As long as there are no mistakes, in July this year, In addition to the semi-annual rewards that should be given to you, there will be an additional reward of 3000 US dollars per person. At the same time, [-] million US dollars will be used to reward outstanding employees. Everyone work hard."

"Yeah. Long live the boss."

"Great, boss is the most generous boss in the world."

"I finally have the money to trade in that old car of mine."

"Going into magic was the best decision I've ever made in my life."

"Boss, I love you to death."

Chapter 969 Company Status

In some small and medium-sized special effects companies, $20 is already the annual income of ordinary employees, but in Magic, it is just a bonus. If bonuses for the first half of the year and monthly salary are added, everyone can get more than $[-] and spread it to the outside world. I don't know how many people will die with envy.

Xiao Yunhai drove to the headquarters of Marvel Comics, and Raul, who had already received the news, stood at the door and waited.

Seeing Xiao Yunhai's car slowly driving in, Raul hurried up to meet him, and respectfully opened the car door for Xiao Yunhai.

Xiao Yunhai got out of the car, looked him over, and said with a smile: "Raul, seeing your radiant face, you seem to be in a good mood."

A smile appeared on Raul's rigid face, and said: "Boss, our "Transformers" is popular all over the world, can I be unhappy?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "Then let me make you happy again. The second "Transformers" comic is estimated to be finished in half a month. Let the animation department prepare to make a cartoon."

Raul said excitedly: "Okay, boss, I will give orders."

The two walked into the company one after the other. Xiao Yunhai walked around first, and seeing that everyone was busy, he couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.

When he came to Xiao Yunhai's luxurious office, Raul made a guest appearance as the secretary and made Xiao Yunhai a cup of tea.

The two sat on the sofa together, Xiao Yunhai said: "Raul, tell me about the company's recent situation."

With a promise, Raul took out the financial statement that he had prepared long ago from his briefcase and handed it to Xiao Yunhai, and then told all the recent situation from beginning to end.

First of all, the success of "Transformers" brought Marvel Comics back into the eyes of the European and American public, and of course made them a lot of money.

Except for China, the comics have sold a total of 360 million copies worldwide, with a revenue of 6000 million U.S. dollars.The toy sold 2000 million sets in 26, and the profit reached a terrifying 3000 billion US dollars.

There are also cartoons with amazing ratings in Europe and the United States, which have received 3000 million US dollars.However, this is only the first round of broadcast rights. Except for the United States, which has already broadcast two rounds, TV stations in other countries have not obtained the right to broadcast the second round.

When these TV stations come to discuss the price, Xiao Yunhai will naturally put his mind on their advertising fees, and one can imagine how powerful the income will be.

When Xiao Yunhai took over the company, he asked the comic department to organize a comic creative contest, which has now been successfully concluded.After everyone's intense discussion, a total of six good comic copyrights were purchased.It is estimated that it will not be long before we can meet the children.

There is also the animation department, which is nervously producing the big animation movie "Kung Fu Panda" given to them by Xiao Yunhai. For this reason, Xiao Yunhai specially asked his brother Luo Tianxiong to find two very powerful action directors from Luo's class to design animations for the animals. action.Of course, the salary will not be less, one hundred thousand dollars per person, so both of them work very hard.

Needless to say, the toy factory is very busy just making Transformers toys.

As for the Marvel Children's Paradise, there was also good news. Xiao Yunhai asked them to renovate the park. After passing the inspection and testing by the relevant departments of the United States, it was put into operation a month ago.

Parents and children receive an average of 5000 person-times every day, and the profit is about 80 US dollars, which is 400 million US dollars in a month. This is only the income brought by two children's playgrounds, one big and one small.If there were twenty or two hundred companies, the profits would be horrific.

After listening to Raul's narration, Xiao Yunhai found that the company's situation was far better than he expected, so he couldn't help nodding his head in satisfaction, and said, "Raul, you've done a very good job, let's talk about the next step."

Lauer said: "Boss, when Randy, the manager of Marvel Children's Park, delivered the monthly report, he also brought a written application, hoping that the company can allocate funds to continue to transform other children's parks."

Xiao Yunhai asked: "What do you think?"

Lauer said: "I think it should be strongly supported. We still have a total of [-] children's playgrounds that have been ordered by the government to rectify. If they can be put into operation, they will become a new profit point for the company."
