That night, Xiao Yunhai received a phone call from an unknown number.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao. I'm Stephen Moye, the Minister of Health of the United States."
Xiao Yunhai knew that the situation was almost certain. He said, "Minister Moye, I'm very happy to receive your call. Do you have any good news for me this time? "
Moye smiled and said, "It's definitely very good news for you. After the Ministry of Health's inspection, your 3D glasses and 3D screen are not harmful to human eyes. Starting tomorrow, you can release 2012 in the United States. I'm deeply sorry for the inconvenience I've caused you these past few days. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Then thank you so much. I think the fans will be very happy to hear this good news. "
Stephen Moye thought about what to say and said, "Mr. Xiao, I wonder if you should return the gift that you asked Mr. Raúl to give me this afternoon?"
Xiao Yunhai almost burst out laughing when he heard that.
Gift? Damn, this guy can think of something like that.
Xiao Yunhai forced himself to hold back his laughter and said, "Mr. Moye, I hope you can give us a test certificate."
"Of course. Tomorrow morning, you can send someone to get it from me. "
"That's great. When we get the test certificate from the Ministry of Health, I'll get someone to give you the last gift that I prepared for you. "
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Xiao."
After the call ended, Xiao Yunhai gave Dalton Welch a call and told him to begin the publicity. He also posted a post on the main page.
"Hey, American fans, I have good news for you. The Ministry of Health has promised to give us a 3D test certificate tomorrow. '2012' can finally be released in the United States. Please remember, tomorrow, November 6th, at 7: 00 pm, let's meet '2012'. "
At the same time, the homepages of the stars under General Pictures also posted the news that '2012' would be released in the United States tomorrow.
All of a sudden, the American movie fans went crazy. Their comments were all over the popular forums.
"Haha, it's finally here. If you don't, I'll go to the Ministry of Health to protest. November 6th, 2012, here I come. "
"It's disgusting to see the rest of the world praising '2012' while we can't release it in America. Fortunately, the sky is clear after the storm. Tomorrow, I'll be able to experience the glory of the first 3D movie in history. I'm quite excited. "
"Whether it's Asia, Europe, or the United States, all gave '2012' more than 9.5 points, surpassing all the records in film history. Of course, they couldn't miss such a great movie, even though the ticket price was as high as 120 USD. Hey, guys, what are you waiting for? See you at the theater tomorrow. "
In a villa in Los Angeles, Hanks was sweating profusely in bed with two Hollywood actresses.
At the most critical juncture, the phone suddenly rang at an inopportune time, making Hanks very annoyed.
"Josh, if you can't give me a good reason, I won't let you go." Hanks gritted his teeth and said.
Josh, the assistant on the other side of the phone, said, "Boss, something bad has happened. Xiao's' 2012 'will be released in the United States tomorrow night. The Internet is going crazy now."
"What?" Hanks was shocked. There was a trace of fear on his face. He said, "How can this be? Are you sure it's a 3D version? "
"Very sure. Because the news has been posted on General Pictures, Magic Visual Effects, Marvel Comics, and Xiao's personal homepage. Boss, you'd better make some preparations. "
"Preparations? What else can I prepare? "
He had used all the tricks he could. In the face of a 3D movie like '2012', Hanks really had no other way.
Originally, he had high hopes for "Resident Evil". Although the results were very good, it was obviously not on the same level as "2012".
To be able to do so, it was also relying on America, the world's largest voting base.
Once "2012" was released on a large scale in the United States, it would be a devastating disaster for "Resident Evil".
Thinking of the consequences of losing 20 billion dollars, Hanks's back broke out in cold sweat. His face was extremely pale.
After scolding his assistant, Josh, Hanks quickly called the Minister of Health, Stephen Moyer.
"Mr. Moyer, why can Xiao's' 2012 'be released? This seems to be very inconsistent with the agreement between Mr. Stel and you. "
Stephen Moyer said in a business-like tone, "Mr. Hanks, after the most scientific test by our Ministry of Health, we found that there is no problem with the 3D glasses and 3D screen, so we decided to issue a certificate of conformity.
When Hanks heard his words, his lungs were about to explode.
Who didn't know Stephen Moyer's character? As long as there was money, everything was negotiable. Could it be that Xiao Yun Hai gave him even more benefits, and that was why he agreed?
Thinking of this, Hanks said, "Mr. Moyer, I have a very good villa in the suburbs of New York. It's worth 200 million dollars. I think it's very suitable for you. Would you like to see it? "
Stephen Moyer's tone was still cold. He said, "Thank you, Mr. Hanks, for your kindness. Some things are more important than the villa. I'm sorry, I still have things to deal with. Goodbye. "
Hearing the beeping sound from the other side, Hanks was so angry that he directly threw the phone on the floor.
The two naked beauties on the bed looked at each other and climbed on top of him like bitches. They used their full breasts to rub Hanks's body.
"Mr. Hanks, don't be angry."
"We haven't served you well yet."
Hanks looked at them coldly and roared, "You two get out of here right now."
The two beauties saw Hanks's ferocious face. Without saying anything, they quickly took their clothes and left.
He was the only one left in the villa's bedroom.
Hanks rubbed his face hard. Suddenly, his whole body seemed to have no strength at all. He directly lay on the bed.
There was a trace of despair on his face, and a trace of … madness.
The box office on November 5th was published in the major entertainment newspapers the next day.
"2012" still showed no signs of decline. The box office reached 694 million dollars. It was generally released 24 hours a day in most regions, but the occupancy rate was still above 90%.
"Resident Evil" only got 534 million dollars. The gap between "2012" and "Resident Evil" was getting bigger.
Basically, Xiao Yunhai was going to win this shocking 20 billion dollars bet.
