The two chatted for a while, then Bikven went out to produce his movie, while Xiao Yunhai continued to write his script.
Just as the script for "X-Men" was finished, Raúl and Daniel knocked on the door of Xiao Yunhai's office and walked in happily.
Xiao Yunhai looked at their expressions and knew that they must have finished the business of the office building. He asked, "Where is the address? How much did it cost? "
Daniel smiled and said, "Boss, our new office is only three kilometers away from here. It has a total of 62 floors. Not only can it meet our requirements, but it's also more than enough. The developer was very happy when he heard that we were going to buy the whole building. After some haggling, the final price was 1.56 billion USD. Boss, do you want to go and take a look? "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "No need. I can only come here a few times a year. As long as you feel comfortable, it's not a problem. Go and sign the contract in the afternoon. Starting tomorrow, let everyone move there without affecting their work. "
Daniel and Raúl said in unison, "Yes, boss."
With two such capable assistants, Xiao Yunhai saved a lot of trouble.
After lunch, Xiao Yunhai continued to work overtime to write the script. When it was close to getting off work in the afternoon, four movie scripts were released.
Looking at the results of his labor, Xiao Yunhai was very satisfied, even though it was plagiarism. Next, as long as he found a suitable director, he could prepare to start shooting.
Xiao Yunhai stood up and stretched. Just as he was about to leave, he received a call from Christie.
"Mr. Xiao, I heard that you bought a 62-story building, is that true?"
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "You're really well-informed. Yes, I bought it this afternoon. "
Christy said without hesitation, "Mr. Xiao, my business team consists of a total of 24 people. The investment company is set up in a very dilapidated building. It's too bad for our image. Shouldn't you leave a layer for us? "
When Xiao Yunhai heard this, he knew that the other party was denouncing him. He quickly said, "Of course, there's no problem. I also think so. It's just that I haven't had the time to tell you. Magic City, Marvel, and the investment company are all working together. If there's a problem, they can discuss it with each other. This is a very good choice. "
Christy said, "Mr. Xiao, I have to remind you that the three of us aren't the only businesses you have in America. You also have the Storm Game Company. Their working conditions are even worse."
Only then did Xiao Yunhai remember that he already owned 80% of Storm's shares and could be considered its boss. So he asked, "Madam Christy, how many people are there in Storm now?"
Christy said, "Ever since we signed the contract, Storm Game Company has enough funds. According to your instructions, we recruited more than 600 people on the second day. Including the employees who came in one after another, we now have more than 800 people. Of course, with their addition, the research and development of Warcraft has also been improved rapidly. It's estimated that in less than half a year, Warcraft will be able to meet the players. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Okay. If you have time, you and the person in charge of Storm can come over tomorrow. You can go to the building with Raúl and Daniel to discuss the distribution. Hehe, before I know it, I have more than 3,000 employees in America. That's incredible. "
Christy smiled and said, "You may have more employees in the future."
Xiao Yunhai returned to the villa. After dinner, he turned on the computer and watched the movie that James and Halle had made.
Bikven was, after all, one of the best directors in Hollywood. His vision was very accurate. The two directors that he recommended, whom Xiao Yunhai had never even heard of, were indeed capable.
The overall layout and context of their movies were very clear. The action scenes were also very explosive. It was just that the details were a little rough. Of course, this was understandable. It was definitely a problem with funding.
Xiao Yunhai felt that these two directors should be able to meet his requirements. However, like Planck, he needed to communicate with them.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai called Raúl and asked him to contact James and Halle.
The next morning, Xiao Yunhai went to the office of Marvel Comics.
At 8: 55, Halle, who had agreed to meet at 9: 00, walked into Xiao Yunhai's office under the guidance of the staff.
Halle, as his name suggested, had an unusually loud voice. With a face full of beard, he looked like a primitive man who had not degenerated.
"Mr. Xiao, are you asking me to shoot a movie?" Halle asked directly after sitting down.
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Mr. Halle, Mr. Bikven told me yesterday that you are an excellent director. Although your temper is not very good, your standards are very high."
Halle laughed and said, "It is my honor to receive such praise from Director Bikven. However, after so many years of being shelved, I think my temper has changed a lot. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "There is a saying in Hua Xia, that it is easy to change mountains and rivers, but hard to change one's nature. A person's temper is very difficult to change, but I don't think that is a bad thing. The fact that you can quarrel with your boss and producer shows that you are an extremely responsible director. Mr. Halle, have you read the X-Men comics? "
Halle's eyes lit up. He quickly nodded and said, "Of course I have."
Xiao Yunhai asked, "What do you think if I let you shoot X-Men?"
When Halle heard this, a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face. He patted his chest and said, "Mr. Xiao, don't worry. I will definitely make a movie that you will be satisfied with."
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Director Halle, I am not sure if I will use you. This is part of the script for X-Men. You can take a look. Tell me in half an hour. How will you shoot it? This is a test. If your ideas are similar to mine, then you can join Marvel Comics. You will have more opportunities to shoot movies in the future. I think Raúl should have told you. "
Halle nodded and stood up. He took the script from Xiao Yunhai and said, "Can I have a quiet office?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Of course."
Xiao Yunhai made a phone call and a staff member took Halle out.
"It seems that time and opportunities can really change a person."
On the Internet, Xiao Yunhai saw Halle as a guy with eyes on the top of his head. He was unruly and had a fiery temper. He gave people a feeling of arrogance because of his talent.
But now, his entire temperament was obviously much more stable, and his gaze was no longer as aggressive as before. Although his voice was still very loud, his attitude was much, much better.
Maybe this Halle could really surprise him.
Soon, half an hour passed and Halle did not come.
Xiao Yunhai thought that he was still thinking, so he was not worried. He was bored and looked at the entertainment news.
Another half an hour passed and Xiao Yunhai still did not see Halle. He could not help but frown.
His meeting with the other director, James, was scheduled for 10: 30. There were less than 20 minutes left.
Xiao Yunhai was a little anxious. He could not help but go to the conference room where Halle was.
Seeing that he was bent over the table and writing something seriously, Xiao Yunhai walked over curiously.
There was a small pile of paper in front of Halle. It was all a script. Although it was a sketch, it was very vivid and of a high standard.
Xiao Yunhai couldn't help but nod his head as he inwardly said: "No wonder this guy was able to make three pretty good films. From his concentration, it can be seen how much he loves movies."
It was almost time. Xiao Yunhai knocked on the table and said with a smile, "Director Halle, you seem to have been here for more than half an hour."
Halle was surprised. He looked at his watch and said, "I'm sorry. I forgot the time."
Xiao Yunhai said, "It's okay. Mr. Halle, can you show me your script? "
Halle nodded. "Of course."
Xiao Yunhai looked at the script and listened to Halle's description.
This guy was indeed extremely passionate about movies. When it came to matters related to filming, his eyes would light up and his mouth would talk non-stop. More importantly, his words were actually very logical, allowing Xiao Yunhai to easily understand what he wanted to express.
"He's a talent."
Fifteen minutes later, Xiao Yunhai interrupted him and said, "Mr. Halle, if you have time, we can continue to discuss this problem at two in the afternoon. I need to go see the other director now. "
Halle said, "Mr. Xiao, you can do what you need to do. I haven't finished the script for this part of the script. "
Xiao Yunhai was stunned. He laughed and said, "Then you can write here. I'll treat you to lunch. "
Xiao Yunhai had decided to recruit Halle, an energetic director in his forties, into Marvel Comics.
