The Internet was right, children and women's money was indeed the easiest to earn.
Just one "Transformers" had brought them 7.5 billion US dollars, then how much did Disney's world-renowned "Tom and Jerry" bring them? After so many years, it was estimated to be more than 10 billion US dollars.
In addition to "Tom and Jerry," Disney also had several animated films that were no less influential than it. Just thinking about it was enough to scare people to death.
This was probably the reason why Disney, which had no backing, could stand on equal footing with Warner Studios, which had Time Warner as its backing.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Very good. Raúl, the first "Transformers" made a good start for us. The second "Transformers" must be of good quality. We must not be greedy for speed and lower the quality. Do you understand? "
Raúl said solemnly, "Boss, don't worry. 'Transformers' is already our company's golden signboard. We will never take it lightly."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Okay, you should rest quickly. Tomorrow, I will sign a contract with Hua Xia Xian Yue Video Network. They will send someone to contact you soon. You can just give them the promotional video for 'Transformers 2' after the end of the first "Transformers" movie. "
Raúl said, "Boss, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "Sister Yu, it's done."
Yu Yuexian said with a smile, "I heard it all. Yunhai, tell me the truth, how much money did 'Transformers' make for you? "
Xiao Yunhai was stunned and said, "Your ears are too sharp. You can actually hear our conversation."
Yu Yuexian said, "Don't change the topic. If my ears were really sharp, I wouldn't need to ask you. Tell me, how much profit? I'm really curious. "
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said in an indifferent tone, "Not much. Until today, it's only 7.5 billion. "
"US dollars?"
"Of course."
Yu Yuexian's charming face suddenly showed an expression of disbelief. She covered her mouth with her white and tender hand and looked at Xiao Yunhai in shock for a long time. Then she said fiercely, "You bunch of hateful capitalists, it's too easy to make money. You can easily make 7.5 billion dollars. God, I'm going crazy. No wonder everyone said that it wouldn't take long for you to become the richest man in the world. Just the seven 'Transformers' movies alone can bring you 40 to 50 billion USD. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Don't give me that. I heard that the game that Brother Wen Bin invested in is popular all over Asia. Does your lady boss have nothing to do and often stay at home to count money? "
Once Man Wenbin's Yue Man Game Company launched Prehistoric Travel, it quickly gained the favor of many young players. Within a short month, the number of downloads exceeded 12 million. Just from this, Man Wenbin earned 1.6 billion Hua Xia dollars. The corresponding point cards were also selling like hotcakes. Agents from other Asian countries came to him one after another, requesting to be his agent for the game. Although Xiao Yunhai didn't know about their agreement, he was sure that Man Wenbin would definitely extort a large sum of money from them.
Yu Yuexian laughed and said, "How could that be? I don't even know how much money he made. Now, most of my attention is on the Immortal Moon Video Network. I don't care about anything else. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Video networks really make a lot of money. Last year, you paid more than 10 billion in business tax to the government alone. You're much better than those large enterprises. I want to build one for fun someday. "
Yu Yuexian was stunned and scolded with a smile, "Don't get involved. We're competing fiercely with the other three video networks. If you enter again, we'll all be finished with your powerful funds and connections. Can't you do us a favor and let us live? "
Although Yu Yuexian was joking, she was also telling the truth.
All the entertainment companies in the world used the technology of Xiao Yunhai's Dream Special Effects Company when shooting blockbusters. Plus, he was a super-rich man. He only needed to call the bosses of those companies and even the eight major Hollywood film companies would have to give him face, let alone Hua Xia's film companies.
Therefore, Yu Yuexian was truly somewhat worried in her heart, afraid that Xiao Yunhai would enter this domain.
Xiao Yunhai also seemed to see the unnatural look on Yu Yuexian's face. He laughed and said, "Sister Yu, I'm just joking with you. You don't really think that I'm going to set up a video network, do you? Don't worry, I'm in a terrible fix because of those companies under me. I don't have the energy to do anything else. "
Yu Yuexian knew that Xiao Yunhai always kept his word. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and patted her towering chest. "You really scared me to death."
"What could scare you, Sister Yu?" Zhao Wanqing walked over and held Yu Yuexian's arm.
Yu Yuexian said snappily, "Isn't it because your man said that he's going to set up a video network? With his wealth and status, I reckon that all the entertainment companies in the world will give him their films once he enters this industry. Tell me, how can I not be afraid? "
Zhao Wanqing glanced at Xiao Yunhai and said with disdain, "Just those big and small companies that he's invested in now need my mother to help him take care of them. He wants to set up a website? What a joke. Alright, the reporters will come in half an hour. Let's go touch up our makeup. Sister Yu, I didn't bring a makeup artist with me, so I'll have to stick to you later. "
Yu Yuexian smiled and said, "Let's hurry up and go then."
The two of them, together with Lin Lu, Zhang Xinyi, Yan Chunling, and several other beauties, walked towards the makeup room while chatting and laughing.
Seeing that everyone had left, Ruda walked towards Xiao Yunhai and asked, "Yunhai, when will you be free to film your scenes?"
Initially, in order to increase the audience's expectations, Ruda wanted to let Xiao Yunhai play the role of the Seven-Slaughtering Demon Lord. However, Xiao Yunhai turned him down.
The main reason was that the role was too time-consuming, and he wouldn't be able to come out without more than a month. Besides, he had to be busy screening the 3D movie and filming "Grandmaster", so he couldn't spare any time at all.
Besides, although the role was very good, and the actor who played the Seven-Slaughtering Demon Lord in his previous life had indeed attracted countless fans, it didn't matter to Xiao Yunhai, who had reached the peak of his popularity.
However, it was very important to the other students, and it might even help him become an A-lister. Hence, Xiao Yunhai didn't agree and only agreed to play the role of a permanent disciple.
Xiao Yunhai wasn't the only one. Yu Yuexian, Zhao Wanqing, Lee Hoon, and the other best actors and actresses also played some unimportant roles, and they were willing to escort their juniors.
Xiao Yunhai said, "As long as it's before mid-October, it's fine."
Ruda nodded and said, "Let's tentatively set it in September then."
He knew very well that November was the month when "2012" was released, and it involved a 20 billion US dollars bet. Hence, Xiao Yunhai definitely wouldn't have the time. On the other hand, there would be a global publicity campaign in October, which was equally important to Xiao Yunhai. In order not to delay him, Ruda chose September.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Okay, you're the director, so you have the final say. Hey, who's that girl who's talking and laughing with Neck? They seem to be very close. "
