Xiao Yunhai opened the intranet of Marvel Comics and looked at a long list of Superheroes that he was familiar with in his previous life. He began to wonder if he should bring them to the big screen as soon as possible.
In terms of funds, Xiao Yunhai had no problem shooting these movies. Even if he started shooting ten movies at the same time, each one would cost a billion US dollars, and he would still be able to support it.
The only thing he wasn't sure about was what kind of impact his 3D version of "2012" would have on the world after it was released.
If everyone was not interested in 2D movies after watching 3D movies, then Xiao Yunhai would be shooting himself in the foot.
But if he left it there and didn't make it, Xiao Yunhai felt that it would be a pity and a waste of God's gift.
Thinking back to when 3D technology appeared in his previous life, all the directors who made blockbuster movies would be crowned with 3D in front of their names. It could be seen the impact 3D movies had on the movie industry.
Later, under the bombardment of 3D movies, the fans might have felt numb and their fascination with this feeling gradually disappeared. 2D movies became popular again.
But this time period was not short, at least three years.
The entertainment industry in this world was much more developed than in his previous life. Once "2012" appeared, there would probably be countless 3D movies appearing out of nowhere. It would take at most a year for the fans to lose interest.
If he took advantage of this time period to select a few suitable Superheroes to make 3D movies and release them before a large number of 3D movies appeared in the market, wouldn't that be equivalent to monopolizing the entire 3D market and making a lot of money?
Thinking of the 3D movies that would be released in succession at the beginning of next year, Xiao Yunhai immediately became excited.
He estimated that by then, these movies would not only have a box office of one or two billion, but in the billions or even tens of billions. Maybe most of the top ten box office rankings would be occupied by his Superheroes. Just thinking about it made him excited.
Xiao Yunhai has always been a swift and decisive person. Compared to the movies in his previous life, he searched through all the superheroes. In the end, he singled out "X-Men", "Captain America", and "Doctor Strange". Together with "Iron Man", which has never appeared in this world, Xiao Yunhai plans to start shooting these four movies at the same time.
However, the biggest problem was that they had to find a suitable director. Moreover, they and the cameraman had to go to Dream Special Effects Company for a period of training.
As for the actors, Xiao Yunhai planned to use newcomers and sign them all to Marvel Comics. Raúl was right. He didn't want to let other companies' artists take advantage of him like he did in the past. Giving them a supporting role was already very good.
There were hundreds of thousands of artists in Hollywood. Who knew how many outstanding actors were buried among them. Xiao Yunhai didn't believe that he couldn't find a suitable one.
Xiao Yunhai started to write the scripts for these four movies. With the movies in his previous life as a reference, the scripts weren't difficult to write.
Because their storylines were very simple, the key was the visual effects presented to the audience.
In just over an hour, Xiao Yunhai finished the script for "Iron Man."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Xiao Yunhai shouted, "Come in."
The door opened and a receptionist walked in with Isabelle Christy.
A smile appeared on Xiao Yunhai's face. He stood up and greeted her.
"Ms. Christy, how have you been recently?"
Christy smiled and said, "Very fulfilling. Seeing so many companies that can make a lot of money, our team is very excited. This time, we came to report to you about the situation of our investment company. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Please go ahead."
Christy took out a thick stack of documents and handed it to Xiao Yunhai. Then, she gave a general overview of the situation.
In addition to the Storm Game Company, Christy had invested in oil, natural gas, cosmetics, and real estate projects during this period, spending 8.6 billion USD. In addition to the 500 million from the Storm Game Company, Xiao Yunhai's 10 billion USD was only left with 900 million USD in a month.
Christy was going to use this money to invest in stocks.
Listening to Christy's explanation and looking at the report on the paper, Xiao Yunhai's face didn't show anything, but he was very impressed.
Although he didn't know much about the companies, oil and natural gas were non-renewable resources. No matter the time, they were hot commodities in every country in the world. In his previous life, the United States launched a war for these resources. It could be said that there was never a lack of buyers.
Needless to say, the whole world knew that cosmetics were a profiteering industry. The cost of five yuan could be sold for hundreds or thousands. If done well, it could even feed an entire country.
As for real estate, as long as there were people, there was no lack of buyers.
Xiao Yunhai was very satisfied with the industries Christy had chosen to invest in. He asked, "How are these companies?"
Christy smiled. "Of course, they're very healthy. Take oil, for example. We're working with the American Chock Oil Company. It's an old company. Although it's been declining for the past ten years, since last year, a new young CEO took over and showed great drive. This time, they had to ask for help because they wanted to buy a big oil field in the Middle East. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to take advantage of it. Of course, we paid a high price. 5 billion USD for 30% of the oil field's shares. And natural gas … "
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say it. When you called me, I already told you that you're the experts. It's fine if you think it's suitable. I only look at the final result. Leave this document with me. "
Christy said confidently, "Mr. Xiao, I can guarantee that these projects will bring you great profits in the future."
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "That's great. Are there any other questions? "
Christy said, "We'll be checking all the properties under your name in the near future. Whether it's the New Hua Xia Cinemas, Magic Visual Effects, Fantasy Special Effects Company, Marvel Comics, Yun Yi Shopping Network, Jiu Jiu Music Network, all of them have great potential. If an average person owns one of them, it's enough to make him a millionaire. Now that they're all in your hands, I believe that in less than two years, the title of the world's richest man will change. "
Xiao Yunhai had heard too many praises, but he did not feel much of a sense of accomplishment. Instead, he keenly sensed the problem in Christy's words and asked, "Are you saying that my North American cinemas don't have great potential?"
Christy's eyes flashed with admiration. "Mr. Xiao, you're amazing. That's right. I think you should sell off the MGM Grand, Paramount, Disney, and Warner cinemas immediately. "
Xiao Yunhai frowned. "Madam Christy, did I hear wrongly? The North American cinemas brought me more than ten billion dollars in income last year and you want me to sell it? "
Christy said unhurriedly, "That was in the past, not now. Hua Xia's Yanhuang Cinemas is now completed and is in operation. In another half a year, Paramount's cinemas will be completed as well. By then, there will be two extremely powerful cinemas that can cover North America. Your combination is the third, and it's an old and independent cinema chain. Do you think it can compete with others? "
Xiao Yunhai did not say anything, but he actually agreed with Christy's analysis because he vaguely felt the same way.
The North American cinema chain was already in a state of saturation. If Paramount was added in the future, it would be overloaded.
In the past, there were fewer wolves and more meat. In order to be able to distribute their own films, the major film companies had to bow to the cinemas and be oppressed by them.
Now, there were too many wolves and too little meat. The situation was very likely to be reversed. The cinemas would beg the film companies to release their films because there were too many cinemas. Once they could not get the films, it was very likely that there would be no films to release.
In the past, they were begged by others. In the future, they would be begging others. In addition to the fierce competition and the revision of the box office share, the gap could be imagined.
Christy saw that Xiao Yunhai was moved and continued, "Now that the market value of the major cinema chains has returned to the state before the economic crisis, if you sell now, you will definitely make a lot of money. But once Paramount cinemas appear, I believe that the market value of the cinemas in your hands will inevitably plummet. At that time, there will be no need to be anxious. Mr. Xiao, I know that you are a little reluctant, but I think that the North American cinema chain has the least potential among the industries under your name. It may even become a burden to you. "
After listening to Christy's words, Xiao Yunhai stood up and walked to the window. He looked at the cars coming and going downstairs and suddenly laughed. He said, "Ms. Christy, do you know why I bought these cinemas in the first place?"
Christy did not speak. She just looked at Xiao Yunhai with a pair of eyes full of wisdom, waiting for him to continue.
Xiao Yunhai said, "In fact, I did not do it to make money. It was for my films. If I had to choose between being a businessman and being a filmmaker, I would not hesitate to choose being a filmmaker. Now that Yanhuang Cinemas has been established, with our relationship, they cannot refuse to show my films. So, it is also time to sell the North American cinema chain. "
With Xiao Yunhai's current status in the world's entertainment industry, coupled with his identity and background, Yanhuang Cinemas would not dare to do anything to his films.
