Chapter 1034

Having a good time with the children, Xiao Yunhai's mobile phone rings. It's bikewen's phone.

"Hey, director bichoven, how was your break last night?"

Bickerman said with a smile, "it's very good. Xiao, we have three consecutive global box office performances on our premiere night, with a total of 294 million US dollars. Our word-of-mouth in various regions of the world is very good, and the scores are basically above 9 points. "

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "that's really good. Congratulations, director Bickerman, for making another good movie. Maybe your "Lord of the rings" will break the box office record of "war on aliens."

"It would be great if that were the case," bichoven said. Thank you, Xiao. Without your full support, the Lord of the rings would not have achieved such a good result. "

Xiao Yunhai said, "you've said it 800 times. Don't be so polite. The better the score of the Lord of the rings, the more I earn, and we are win-win. By the way, how was operation hurricane box office? "

"114 million dollars is not bad. Of course, word-of-mouth and box office are far behind us. "

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "it seems that we are sure to win. It's just a lesson for hanks of paramount, so that he will not be idle and ask me for trouble. Director bichoven, I'll pick you up at the hotel later, and we'll go back to America. "

"OK," bichoven said

At 10:00 a.m., in addition to the stars who need to stay in Huaxia to continue to promote the film, Xiao Yunhai and the chief creators of the crew returned to Hollywood by private plane.

Out of the airport, Xiao Yunhai did not waste time and went straight to the company.

At this time, the 62 storey building he bought had been completely renovated, and all the employees of Marvel comics, magic effects, storm games and his private investment company all moved in. Even so, it's still spacious. It's estimated that even if there are another 1000 people, we can put it down.

As soon as he got into the boss's chair in his office, Raul knocked on the door and came in.

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "I happen to have something to look for you. Have our four directors worked out the budget for four superhero blockbusters? "

Raul nodded and said, "it's done. It's two and a half billion dollars, including special effects. "800 million" of "the iron man," 500 million of them are "strange men of the United States."

Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "Paramount's action blockbuster" hurricane operation "has a budget of more than 1.2 billion yuan. How can we be so small?"

A serious person like Raul can't help laughing when he hears Xiao Yunhai's words. His boss is really special. The biggest fear of all Hollywood investors is the super high budget. He is so good that he dislikes the low budget.

"Boss, for films like operation hurricane, most of the money is spent on artists. It's said that directors and stars alone have made a terrible $400 million. In addition, in order to publicize, film companies often make false reports. In fact, they actually spend $600 million on films they shoot. Our four films are paid less than 400 million for directors and actors, so the budget for each film is not high. "

Speaking of this, Raul sighed: "Hollywood is like this, the poorer the poor, the richer. There are superstars who can earn 40 million for a movie, and there are also mass actors who can't even afford to eat. Even among the stars, there is a huge gap. The pay of second-line actors is not even one tenth of that of first-line actors. "

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said: "the entertainment industry in other parts of the world is not like this. Raul, you can arrange it. I'm going to hold a press conference at 4:00 this afternoon to announce to Hollywood that Marvel comics has officially entered the film industry. "

Raul nodded and cheered up, "yes, boss."

Just as he was about to turn around and go out, Raul suddenly patted himself on the forehead and said, "look at my brain. I almost forgot the business when I was excited. Boss, have you seen Paramount's movie the assassin? "

Xiao Yunhai said: "No. What's the matter? "

Raul said: "boss, when I was browsing the entertainment website yesterday, I came across a small website that said" Assassin "used the music of one of your songs in a certain segment. I asked people to check it. It took about twenty-five seconds

Xiao Yunhai said in surprise, "how can this be possible?"

In this world, the importance of copyright is much higher than that in previous lives. After the director completes the post production of a film, the film company will arrange special personnel to review it back and forth several times. Anyone involved in the copyright of others will sign an agreement with the copyright owner to avoid copyright disputes.

For example, the soundtrack used in movies is the focus of inspection. Generally speaking, this problem will never happen.

Raul said: "boss, your album is all over North America, and your songs are playing all over the street. I think it may be that the melody is too familiar. They think it's an old song, so they don't pay too much attention to it. "

Songs over ten years old can be used freely in movies.Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "maybe. Raul, you cut that out for me. Well, if paramount really dares to use my music as a soundtrack without my permission, they will die. "

Raul said: "boss, in this case, I'm afraid we and paramount really have no room for reconciliation."

"Make up?" Xiao Yunhai sneered: "Raul, if you lose 17 billion dollars because of someone's intervention, and then you lose 20 billion dollars to that person, will you become friends with him in the future?"

Raul shook his head and said, "of course not, unless he gives me the money back. Boss, I see. "

Less than five minutes after Raul went out, Kristi came in with a large pile of information.

Xiao Yun Haydn had a big head, and said, "Ms. Kristi, how many projects have you invested in?"

Christie laughed, "not much, just 18. They're all small projects that we think we can make money on. The amount is not big. It's less than a billion dollars."

Xiao Yunhai nodded and appreciated Kristi's behavior. Eggs should not be put in a basket. This is a famous saying.

However, if you let him see these materials, it would be very kind of you.

Xiao Yunhai said: "Ms. Kristi, you can just summarize it into a report form for me."

Mr. Shockley, take out a look at the development of the project

Xiao Yunhai took a look and said with a smile, "Ms. Kristi, I said that small investments like this need not be reported to me."

"Don't look down upon these small investments, Mr. Shaw. Maybe there will be a financial giant in the future. "

Xiao Yunhai said: "although the probability of this event is small, it does exist."

Christie said with a smile, "Mr. Shaw, I'll put the information here. Please take a good look at it anyway. I need to negotiate with someone at noon, so I'll go first. If there is anything you don't know, you can call me at any time

Xiao Yunhai nodded his head and said, "you go to be busy."

After Kristi left, Xiao Yunhai looked at the information on the table and shook his head with a bitter smile.

Xiao Yunhai is very optimistic about the ability of his economic team, but they are all top workaholics. Every time he comes back, he has countless materials waiting for him to review, which makes Xiao Yunhai a little unbearable.

Thinking that his wife Zhao Wanqing seems to be much better than himself in business, and seems to be very interested, Xiao Yunhai wants to take all these things back to Huaxia and give them to her to deal with, and let Kristi contact her directly in the future.

Yes, that's it.

Xiao Yunhai took out these documents and the documents that had been put in the safe before. When he was ready to leave, he took them with him to the plane.

After a while, Raul sent the fragment of Xiao Yunhai's music melody in the assassin.

Xiao Yunhai listened carefully and found that it was a small part of the song "Billie Jean" that he had copied from Michael Jackson.

According to the American copyright law, if the soundtrack used in a movie exceeds 15 seconds and the music copyright agreement is not signed, the user will be fined up to 10 times the value of the original work. If you don't have money, you need to go to jail and reflect.

"Billie Jean" has received tens of millions of hits on the Internet. With singles and albums, it's conservatively estimated that it's about 100 million dollars. Ten times, that's one billion dollars.

However, the profit brought by the assassin to paramount is less than 400 million US dollars, even if it is fully compensated to Xiao Yunhai.

"Well, Hanks is dead now."

Xiao Yunhai never wanted to let him go.

At first, because of the copyright issue of superheroes, they made a little unhappy. Later, Hanks didn't give himself face in public at the Oscar ceremony. Recently, he used assassin to snipe his "battle of Red Cliff". In addition, with the 20 billion century gambling, Xiao Yunhai and Hanks can be said to have been at odds with each other.

Since you can never be a friend, you should offend yourself to death.
