Zhao Wanqing and Yu Yuexian had far fewer scenes than Xiao Yunhai, but they were done in three days while Xiao Yunhai stayed in Hengdian for a full ten days.
It was already the 18th of September when he returned to Beijing.
During this period of time, many things related to Xiao Yunhai happened and they were all good things.
Firstly, Wu Yifa used 56.3 billion USD to buy fifteen percent of Yanhuang Court Line's shares from the government and became a shareholder.
Secondly, Yun Yi Shopping Network and General Electric Company reached a partnership agreement to expand their shopping network to Europe and America, with both parties owning fifty percent each.
With that, Yun Yi Shopping Network was established in the five most economically developed regions of Hua Xia, Europe, America, Japan, and Korea.
Once the news was released, Yun Yi Shopping Network's market value shot up by sixty percent, reaching 680 billion Hua Xia yuan.
There was also good news from Xiao Yunhai's Marvel Comics. The ratings for the popular Transformers 2 were much higher than Transformers 1. The comic was selling well and the toys were popular all over the world once again. Based on this trend, Transformers 2's profit might even break the ten billion mark, comparable to Yun Yi Shopping Network's annual income.
The animation movie, Kung Fu Panda, was completed. It was the perfect combination of martial arts and entertainment. Once it was released, the box office would not be a problem.
The Superhero movie "Spiderman 2" was completed in mid-July. With the full help of the Magic Special Effects Company, it only took two months to complete the production with quality and quantity. At the same time, "Battle of the Red Cliffs 2" was also completed. Xiao Yunhai was preparing to release these two movies worldwide in early October and mid-October respectively.
Other than that, Xiao Yunhai's Harry Potter 3 and Lord of the Rings 2 were nearing the end of production. However, it was impossible for them to be released before 2012.
Therefore, Xiao Yunhai planned to release them between 2012 and the 3D superhero movies to minimize the impact of 3D movies on them.
As for Lord of the Rings 3, he could only wish Bikven good luck.
Hollywood was also in a state of turmoil recently. The biggest news was that General Electric Company had swallowed Universal and Fox, the two major film companies, and named it General Pictures.
At the press conference, the CEO of General Pictures, Dalton Welch, announced that they would invest 15 billion US dollars to film 12 movies, eight TV series, and six animated films. Their boldness was even greater than that of Paramount.
At the same time, they would also use a month to renovate the general cinema and cooperate with Dream Special Effects Imaging to transform 3,000 2D screens into 3D screens. Everything would be completed by mid-October.
With the entry of General Electric Company, the entire Hollywood was completely divided. The competition was even more intense. No one could predict which company would win in the end.
After filming Thousand Flowers, Xiao Yunhai stayed at home with his wife and children. Occasionally, he would go to Dream Special Effects.
On this day, Xiao Yunhai was playing chess with the old man in the courtyard house. Just as he was about to win, a phone call came in.
"Hello, Raúl, what's the matter?"
Raul said, "Boss, our animated movie 'Kung Fu Panda' has just been announced to be released worldwide on October 10th. Disney Studios has changed the release date of their animated movie 'Robot Wars' to October 7th, while Paramount's' Spaceship 'has been released on October 13th. I suspect that they have already joined forces. One in front, one behind, and they are sniping us. "
Xiao Yunhai narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "There's no need to doubt. The two companies must have colluded in private. Kung Fu Panda is our Marvel Comics' first movie. Disney and Paramount obviously don't want us to succeed. Hmph, since they want to fight, then we'll fight with them. But it's impolite not to reciprocate. Can you check what movies these two companies have released in October? "
Raúl didn't even think about it and said, "Paramount invested 1.2 billion US dollars to produce the sci-fi movie Future Soldier. It will be released on October 3rd, and Disney's action blockbuster Flame will be released on October 18th. Boss, you're not really going to snipe them, are you? No matter if we win or lose, it'll be a huge loss for us. "
Xiao Yunhai sneered, "So what if it's a loss? They've already come knocking on our door. Do you think we can just admit defeat? Raúl, Hua Xia has an idiom called 'kill the chicken to warn the monkey'. I'm going to suppress these two big Hollywood companies to establish our Marvel's prestige and make everyone afraid of us. Only in this way can our Marvel cut a bloody path out of Hollywood. "
"Raúl, keep an eye on Disney and Paramount. After the screening of 2012, as long as they have a blockbuster movie released, we'll choose the same day to fight them. Don't worry, even if we can't make a single cent from our movie, we won't let them have it easy. "
The soft were afraid of the hard, and the hard were afraid of those who didn't care about their lives.
Everyone knew that if two blockbusters were to fight, the most likely result would be a loss for both sides. But Xiao Yunhai would rather sacrifice a thousand of his own to kill eight hundred of the other side. This kind of reckless behavior would be a great deterrent to other movie companies. At the very least, no company would dare to deliberately target Xiao Yunhai and Marvel in the future.
Raúl said, "I understand, boss."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yunhai looked at the chessboard and made a light sound of surprise. "Old man, is your horse in this position?"
Xiao Leshan chuckled and said, "Of course. It's not here, where is it? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "But I clearly calculated that I would win if I took two more moves. But if your horse is in this position, it won't die. "
Xiao Leshan said proudly, "You must have calculated wrongly."
Xiao Yunhai's martial arts had reached an invincible level. How could he not know that Xiao Leshan was playing tricks? When he gently pushed the chess piece, Xiao Yunhai didn't look, but his ears had already caught a slight sound. He just didn't say anything.
The situation was even, and the two continued to fight.
Xiao Leshan asked, "Yunhai, are you in some kind of trouble?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and explained the matter. "It's just two clowns. Just watch, I'll beat them until they're looking for their teeth on the ground. "
"Clowns?" Xiao Leshan couldn't help but be amused. "I'm afraid only you dare to say that about Disney and Steer. However, I support you. In a war, the most important thing is momentum. If your momentum is strong, they will naturally weaken. But the prerequisite is that you can win. Even if you can't win, you have to make them win miserably. Otherwise, the deterrent force will be greatly reduced. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Grandpa, I understand."
A trace of admiration flashed in Xiao Leshan's eyes. He changed the topic and said, "The Wang family is about to fall. I heard that it was caused by you."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and told the old man about the grudge between him and Wang Yuandong, as well as what happened in the police station, in full detail.
After Xiao Leshan heard it, he smiled and said, "So the real culprit is Yuanyang. Hehe, this kid knows how to seize the opportunity. However, the biggest problem is still the Wang family. Wang Shihu was a good fighter in the war, but his thoughts were too active and his desires were too big. He still held on to power after retirement. What do you think the chief should do? "
"The Wang family is powerful, but they don't know how to restrain themselves. They've already committed a big taboo. It's just that Old Wang is too strong, and no one dares to touch him. But now that he's lying in the hospital, whether he can wake up or not is another matter. The second generation of the Wang family doesn't have a talent who can hold the fort. It would be strange if they're not finished. "
"The reason why I retired and didn't care about anything was because I felt that our Xiao family's power was too strong. It was so strong that it could even influence the political situation in Hua Xia. This is a big taboo. Thus, I only kept a portion of my power and gave it to your uncle. The rest of the power, especially the military power, was returned to the chief of the government. This time, I exchanged it for his support for our Xiao family. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Grandpa, you're wise. If I were the chief, I would definitely be grateful and look at the Xiao family in a new light. I think that for uncle to become the second chief, it should be related to the retired chief. "
