In the car, Xiao Yunhai said to Wu Hao, "Boss Wu, immediately appeal to our government, the World Health Organization, and the World Patent Association."
Wu Hao nodded and said, "What about the 3D movies in America, Japan, and Korea?"
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "This time, we need to look at the box office for the entire month of November. Don't worry about America. If it doesn't work out, just show the 2D version. Japan and Korea will show the 3D movie as usual, at most a week later. Things like smashing the 3D movie equipment will not happen a second time. Hmph, some people have to pay for their actions. "
Just then, Xiao Yunhai's phone rang. He opened it and saw that it was the CEO of General Pictures, Dalton Welch.
Xiao Yunhai did not have to guess to know that it was about the release of 2012. General Pictures had three thousand 3D screens. Other than Xiao Yunhai, they were the ones who suffered the most.
"Hello, Mr. Welch. I'm Xiao Yunhai."
Dalton Welch said, "Mr. Xiao, we just received news that the American Ministry of Health received a complaint from Paramount Pictures, claiming that the 3D glasses may cause damage to the human eyes. They want a thorough investigation. The American Ministry of Health did not even inform the World Health Organization. In just half an hour, they directly announced the decision to investigate on their homepage. Obviously, they must have contacted Steyr Networks in private. This is big trouble. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Welch. I'm afraid you've suffered some losses this time. As for the American Ministry of Health, I'll let my lawyer sue them. Once I find evidence, I'll make them pay the price. "
"As for Paramount Pictures, I'll make them regret it. 3D movies are the trend. How dare they use such a despicable method to deal with me. When 3D technology becomes popular in the world, I'll let them know what the consequences of offending me are. "
Dalton Welch said, "What do you plan to do with America?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "We'll see. If there is no statement from the US Department of Health before the 15th, then we'll just show the 2D version. "
Dalton Welch said, "If that's the case, Resident Evil will have no competition in America. The box office will probably be very high."
Xiao Yunhai sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. My Lord of the Rings 2 has just been completed, and I don't even have a copy. No other companies would choose to screen their movies at this time, so the United States could only give it to Resident Evil. However, it was not so cheap in other areas. Especially Hua Xia. This is my territory. I will do my best to reduce the price of Resident Evil to less than 100 million USD. "
Dalton Welch said, "Then I wish you good luck."
After ending the call with Dalton and Welch, Xiao Yunhai dialed Gao Xiangfeng's number.
"Old Gao, take some men with you to Japan and find out who smashed my theater. The police in Japan are in cahoots with the underworld. I don't trust them. "
Gao Xiangfeng seemed to know about this as well. He said, "Okay. The deputy commander of the Japanese garrison is my former boss. We have a very close relationship. I will ask him for help when the time comes. It's impossible for such a big mobilization not to leave any traces. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "That couldn't be any better. I'll leave the Japan matter to you. After the premiere tomorrow, I will go to Korea. "
Gao Xiangfeng said, "Boss Xiao, it's very dangerous for you to go alone. How about this, I will ask Yunfeng to take a group of people to Korea in advance to investigate. The faster we are, the easier it will be to find clues. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's good too. Let's do that. "
America's Silicon Valley, Steyr Networks Headquarters
David Steyr held a cup of hot coffee and stood in front of the window. He looked at the almost invisible cars and pedestrians on the road. His face was expressionless.
Asking the American Ministry of Health to deal with Xiao Yunhai was indeed his masterpiece after careful consideration.
The last time he saw Xiao Yunhai at the banquet, although the two of them were very unhappy, David Steyr didn't have any prejudice against Xiao Yunhai. Instead, he appreciated his character.
Seeing him, David Steyr seemed to see himself when he was young. He was equally arrogant and fearless.
In fact, he didn't know whether he was right or wrong when he made such a decision.
All along, he had done everything with reason over emotion. Some people even called him a cold machine. He only thought about benefits and never cared about other things.
Only toward Hanks, this illegitimate son, David Steyr couldn't be ruthless.
Hanks's actions after becoming Paramount's CEO would have been thrown into the eighteenth level of hell if it were someone else.
From Steyr's point of view, Hanks had talent, but his biggest weakness was that he was narrow-minded and self-opinionated.
For some trivial matters, he didn't hesitate to offend the world-class tycoon Xiao Yunhai and even attacked his movie. This was simply stupid.
Now, Paramount and Xiao Yunhai were already irreconcilable. David Steyr had no choice but to help his son. Otherwise, once the box office of "2012" surpassed "Resident Evil," Hanks could only be a second-generation tycoon for the rest of his life.
However, there was a big problem in doing this. If 3D movies really became popular in the world in the future, how would Xiao Yunhai treat Paramount?
David Steyr had a headache when he thought about this. This was the thing he was most uncertain about in the past few decades.
Just as he was daydreaming, the phone in the office rang.
"Boss, Kungfu Xiao's" 2012 "can't be released in America anymore unless it's a 2D version."
There was no joy on Steyr's face. He asked, "What did the guys in Europe say?"
"They didn't agree. They only said that it was too troublesome and they need to hold a meeting to study it."
David Steyr sneered and said disdainfully, "Meeting to study, hmph, they're probably waiting to see how Xiao's 3D movie is. Forget it, most of Xiao's 3D screens are gone. Let's not bother about Europe anymore. Was it Hanks who found someone to do that in Japan? "
"That's right. Hanks spent one billion dollars to find a small gang in Kobe, Japan, the Black Mountain Gang. The leader is called Ito Hideki. After doing this, he took a plane and left. I don't know where he went. "
David Steyr's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He said, "Find him as soon as possible. What about Korea? Did he do it too? "
"No. It's probably Kungfu Xiao's enemies who are looking for trouble with him again. "
David Steyr said, "He really has a lot of enemies. Okay, go do your work. "
After hanging up the phone, David Steyr sighed and said, "Hanks, this is the last thing I'm doing for you. If you still can't defeat Xiao, then you can just be a second-generation rich kid who eats and waits for death. "
The video of Xiao Yunhai's press conference was posted on the Internet, causing a stir among movie fans all over the world. Especially the movie fans of Hua Xia, they were extremely disgusted with Paramount's actions.
"For 20 billion dollars, Paramount has lost all face. He even used such a despicable trick. He's too despicable. "
"Come on, Yun Huang. Hang on, Yun Huang. We will definitely support your '2012'."
"Paramount, no, it should be Steyr Networks, using their power in America to bully our Yun Huang. It's outrageous."
"Brothers and sisters, as Yun Huang's fans, are we just going to watch and do nothing? Shouldn't we do something to avenge the Cloud Emperor? "
"Yes. We have to show Steyr our power. In addition to watching Yun Huang's 3D version of '2012', we have to boycott 'Resident Evil' together. What do you think, everyone? "
"Okay, I agree. We movie fans of Hua Xia must have a backbone. We can't let our idols be bullied by America. Let's split up and go to various forums to ask movie fans not to watch Paramount's' Resident Evil '. "
"Yes, I agree."
"Seconded."
"I agree."
… … ….
In Hua Xia, a never-before-seen boycott of 'Resident Evil' was launched.
Tens of millions of fans went to various major forums to post posts, spreading the despicable and shameless behavior of Steyr Networks and Paramount. Of course, Dream Special Effects Company added fuel to the fire.
By night, the number of posts had exceeded 100 million. Naturally, there were some who were against Xiao Yunhai, but they were all scolded by Xiao Yunhai's fans until they could not raise their heads. They were all drowned in a vast ocean.
