Seeing the three of them in the living room, Xiao Yunhai said happily, "Teacher Chen, Sister Na, Director Zhu, your presence brings light to my humble abode."
Yao Na smiled and said, "Don't give me that. Humble abode? If this was my humble abode, we would be living in a pig's nest. "
"Hahaha."
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Yunhai, you've been in the limelight recently. 'Lord of the Rings' took four days to reach $2.8 billion at the global box office. Marvel Comics filmed four superhero blockbusters in one go. At the same time, their 3D imaging technology is world-renowned. I heard that you sued Paramount again. Haha, you always say that you want to keep a low profile, but in the end, everything you do causes a huge earthquake in the world of entertainment. You're amazing. "
Xiao Yunhai giggled and said, "These things have spread to our Huaxia so quickly. As expected, there are no secrets in the Internet age."
Zhao Wanqing asked, "Why did you sue Paramount? Did Hanks offend you again? "
Zhao Wanqing knew about all the other things, but Xiao Yunhai did not tell her about the copyright infringement.
Xiao Yunhai told her about the matter and said, "This is Paramount's bad luck. It's its fault for not checking properly."
Zhao Wanqing rolled her eyes and said, "So what if you sue them? At most, you'll lose money. How much good can it do for you? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It's good to annoy Hanks a little. If the enemy is unhappy, I'll be happy. Hahaha. "
Yao Na asked curiously, "Yunhai, if you win the lawsuit, how much will Paramount pay you? Some say it'll be $100 million, some say it'll be $1 billion, and some say it'll be a few million at most. Anyway, there are all kinds of rumors. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It's not much for Paramount. It's only $2 billion."
"Puchi."
Upon hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Chen Huan almost spat out the tea in her mouth. She looked at Xiao Yunhai in disbelief.
Yao Na and Zhu Chengwei were also dumbfounded. Their mouths were opened so wide that a duck egg could be placed inside.
"Two billion USD? Why are there so many? "Zhao Wanqing asked in surprise.
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "That's what the American copyright law says. My song is worth 100 million US dollars, and they have to pay up to 20 times that. I reckon that the American court will definitely give Steer some face. It would be good enough if they could compensate me with 1.7 or 1.8 billion. "
"1.7 to 1.8 billion, and it's in US dollars." Chen Huan shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "I've been in the entertainment industry all my life, and the amount I've earned is less than half of what you've paid. Comparisons are odious. "
Xiao Yunhai giggled. "It's just luck. Paramount's review team lost their minds and made such a low-level mistake. They deserve it. The three of you are rare guests. Is there anything you need from me? "
Chen Huan and the other two looked at each other, and then looked at Zhao Wanqing together.
Zhao Wanqing said, "Hubby, Teacher Chen, Sister Na, and Director Zhu are here to invite you to participate in the 'Night of Singers'."
Xiao Yunhai had been so busy that he didn't pay attention to the 'Night of Singers'. When he heard Zhao Wanqing's words, he couldn't help but be stunned and said, "There are so many excellent singers in Hua Xia. Why would they invite me? I still have a lot of work to do. The release of '2012' alone is enough for me. "
"Hubby, the current 'Night of Singers' is different from last year."
Zhao Wanqing explained the importance of the show to Hua Xia's music industry and said, "You don't want to see Hua Xia's entertainment industry being beaten to a pulp, do you? When that happens, everyone will say that Hua Xia's music industry is useless on the Internet. You won't be able to look good. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled bitterly. "But the problem is that even if I go, I might not be able to get a good result. When it comes to music, different people have different opinions. The same song might sound good to him, but another person might not think much of it. As musicians, we only need people to like our music. There's no point in competing at all. "
"If you ask me, this is easy to solve. As long as Director Zhu gives the audience a heads-up or tampers with the votes, everything will be settled. "
Zhu Chengwei shook his head and said, "Mr. Xiao, when Miss Zhao participated, you said that it would be a fair competition. Why are you asking us to cheat now? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "That was then and this is now."
Zhu Chengwei said, "Even if you beat us to death, we won't do it. It wasn't easy for us to promote this show to the world. No matter what, we can't let such a scandal happen. "
Chen Huan nodded and said, "That's right. Once this matter gets out, our reputation in Hua Xia's music industry will be tarnished. Fans all over the world will despise us. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I was just joking with everyone. I, Xiao Yunhai, will never do something like cheating."
Yao Na said seriously, "Yunhai, don't take this matter lightly. Let me tell you, someone has challenged you online. "
"Who? They even dragged me into it. "
"Wan Qing, give me a computer. Let your husband see what they have to say."
Zhao Wanqing took out her laptop from the bedroom. Yao Na clicked on an interview video. It was Eliot, the American superstar singer.
"Mr. Eliot, congratulations on winning the championship of the twelfth episode of 'Night of Singers.' How are you feeling now?"
Eliot smiled and said, "Of course, I'm very happy to win."
"Only the last episode of the regular season is left. Do you have the Hua Xia singer you're looking forward to appearing on this stage?"
Eliot's eyes lit up and said, "Of course. The one I want to challenge the most is Kungfu Xiao. Back then, he used a few songs to embarrass the entire Western music industry. I want revenge very much. If he can come to the stage of 'Night of Singers' and compete with me on the same stage, it will be a very happy thing for me. Even if he doesn't give me a cent, I'm willing to do it. Mr. Xiao, I hope you can give me a chance to take revenge. "
After Eliot's interview video ended, Yao Na clicked on another one. The protagonist was the Queen of Singers, Ista.
"The one I want to meet the most is Mr. Xiao. He is the best pop singer in the world. In terms of album sales, I can't break the record of 138 million albums he left behind. But in terms of singing, I don't think I'm inferior to him. If he can appear on the stage, we can compete on the stage. "
In addition to the two of them, several other foreign singers also said that they wanted to see him the most.
Xiao Yunhai chuckled, looked at Zhu Chengwei and said, "This is all done by your TV station, right?"
Zhu Chengwei said, "It's definitely not us, I can swear. Mr. Xiao, we only have the last episode of the regular season left. If you come, I believe that with your ability, you can participate in at most four episodes. It shouldn't affect your other things. "
Zhao Wanqing persuaded, "Hubby, you've been making movies for the past two years. The fans rarely see you live. They all hope that you can appear on the stage. In my heart, I also hope that you can go over and prove to everyone that my husband is not a musician who only knows how to write songs and not sing. Tengyang, Jinyu, and I will cheer for you at home. "
Yao Na said, "That's right. This time, Teacher Chen and I are not representing ourselves, but a group of seniors in the Chinese music industry. No matter what, you have to give us some face. "
Xiao Yunhai raised his hand and said, "Okay. I'll go, okay? It's as if I've become a sinner in the Hua Xia music industry. "
Chen Huan slapped her thigh and asked happily, "You really agree?"
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "I agree. Isn't it just singing a few songs? I'm still afraid of that. Eliot, Ista, and the others want to avenge themselves. Okay, I'll give them this chance. Let's hope that they won't add new hatred to their list of grievances. "
Zhu Chengwei couldn't hide his excitement and said, "That's great. With your participation, I believe that our 'Night of Singers' will be more exciting. Mr. Xiao, we'll pay you according to your value … "
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and interrupted him. He said, "You can talk to Sister Mo about this. Haha, if I agree to it, I'm sure Sister Mo will be furious. "
Xiao Yunhai was now the number one superstar in the international music industry. Even if he won the title of Masked King, it would only be icing on the cake. It would not bring him any substantial benefits. On the contrary, if he lost, it would be a great blow to Xiao Yunhai's prestige.
The risk was too great. It was not worth it.
Mo Yina, as Xiao Yunhai's manager, would definitely oppose it.
When Zhao Wanqing participated in the competition, she objected in front of her old classmate, Zhu Chengwei, let alone Xiao Yunhai.
Zhu Chengwei said, "I'll talk to Yina about this in the afternoon."
Zhao Wanqing said with a smile, "Okay, let's go to the restaurant for lunch now. Hubby, you must have a drink with Teacher Chen and Director Zhu this afternoon. "
Chen Huan quickly waved her hand and said, "One drink is enough. I don't dare to compete with the famous Wine God in drinking. "
"Hahaha."
