When everyone's laughter gradually dissipated, Xiao Yunhai said, "'Prison Break' revolves around the male lead rescuing his brother who has already been sentenced to death in prison. I won't reveal too many specific details to everyone. In short, this drama is very good to watch. As for why I'm shooting a TV series, it's easy to understand. I used to be a TV series director, and now I'm just returning to my profession. Of course, the most important thing is that my Yunqing TV Station needs some outstanding works to broadcast to our audience. Otherwise, how can the advertising fees increase? How can the salaries of the TV station reporters increase? Am I right? "
"Hahaha."
Everyone laughed again.
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said with a smile, "I was just joking. Everyone here is a reporter from all over the world. I hope you can tell me that our Yunqing TV Station will buy a large number of outstanding TV series and programs at a high price. Money is not a problem. Even if it's advertising fees, we can share it with them. The premise is that your work is good enough. I sincerely hope that all the entertainment companies will cooperate with our Yunqing TV Station. Okay, next question. "
"Mr. Xiao, you seem to be very confident in 'Prison Break.' Can you predict its ratings?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I made a bet with them. If the average ratings of 'Prison Break' in the world is less than 10%, I will give them twice the salary. If it exceeds 10%, then all of them will be Marvel Comics actors in the future. "
"Wow, it can't be. Mr. Xiao, are you joking?"
"10%, and it's an average rating. How is that possible?"
"Mr. Xiao is too confident. I don't believe that there will be a TV series with an average rating of more than 10%.
A TV series will appear. "
A reporter asked, "Mr. Broom, as the main character of this show, do you think Mr. Xiao's prediction of 10% ratings can be achieved?"
Scott Broom smiled and said, "Like everyone else, at first, I also thought that Mr. Xiao was a little too confident. I could even describe him as arrogant. But when I saw the entire script, I knew that this goal was very likely to be achieved. Because it's too good. It's the best TV script I've ever done. Therefore, I think 10% ratings should be no problem. Even if it's 15%, it's still possible. "
Hearing Scott Broom's words, the reporters exclaimed again.
"Mr. Xiao, how much did you invest in Prison Break?"
Xiao Yunhai was stunned. He shrugged and said, "I don't know. I've never needed a budget for my movies or TV shows.
Even if it was ten billion USD, it wouldn't matter. For 'Prison Break', I'll be strict with the standards of a movie. I'll make sure that every scene is perfect. "
"Mr. Xiao, I heard that you've acquired 25% of Steyr Networks' shares and become their second-largest shareholder. You've also joined their board of directors and want to become the CEO. Is that true?"
Xiao Yunhai narrowed his eyes and said, "This question has nothing to do with Prison Break, but I still choose to answer you. Yes, I am indeed a shareholder of Steyr Networks, and I went to New York yesterday to attend the board meeting for the first time. But I want to make it clear that I have nothing to do with Steyr Networks. When you're evaluating it, please don't include me. I am me, and it is it. We can't mix. If I have a conflict with Steyr Networks in the future, I'll still support my company 100%. Do you understand? "
A reporter's eyes lit up. He stood up and said, "We understand. But you haven't answered a question. Did you fight for the position of the chairman of Steyr Networks' board of directors but failed in the end? "
Xiao Yunhai's finger lightly tapped the table a few times, and he said: "Since the rumors have already spread, then I'll speak the truth. In yesterday's board meeting, not only did I fight for the position of the chairman of Steyr Networks, but I also planned to merge my company with Steyr Networks. Unfortunately, Mr. David Stel and his supporters vetoed it without hesitation. Because my company and Steyr Networks overlap, I can only support one company. That's why I severed my relationship with Steyr Networks. Okay, that's all for Steyr Networks. I hope everyone will stop asking. "
"Ms. Claudia, what role did you play in the movie?"
"I'm acting as …"
After that, the reporters consciously didn't pursue the matter of Steyr Networks. However, Xiao Yunhai's answer still caused a huge uproar.
That afternoon, Steyr Networks' stock price that had just recovered fell again because of Xiao Yunhai's words. Although it wasn't much lower than during the World Cup, it was still a lot lower than when it opened.
David Steyr was very annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
It would be better to kill him than to give up the position of the chairman of the board of directors.
David Steyr now felt a strong sense of danger. Xiao Yunhai's side already held 42% of the shares. If they were to rope in two more shareholders, then their shares would be more than his. At that time, Xiao Yunhai would immediately ascend to the position of the president of Steyr Networks. The first order would be to announce the merger of the two companies. In this way, he would be completely finished.
David Steyr spent the entire afternoon in his office thinking about countermeasures. He wasn't a person who would sit around and wait for death. Steyr Networks was his root. He would never allow any problems to happen.
The video of the press conference of "Prison Break" quickly spread on the Internet. Xiao Yunhai's fans were very optimistic about this TV series. They left comments on the forum, especially on Hua Xia, which was the most popular.
"Haha, Yun Huang is finally going to film a TV series. Although it's an American TV series, I will still support it. "
"Ever since" Lang Ya Board "created a legendary rating, Yun Huang didn't film any more TV series. Now that he's making a comeback, I'm really looking forward to it. "
"What kind of movie is" Prison Break "? I can't wait. "
"Yun Huang has always prohibited reporters from filming. He also doesn't like to publicize before the end of the shoot. Sigh, I hope those paparazzi can work harder and get more information. "
"Prison Break" had already become popular before filming had even started.
For three consecutive days, there were posts commenting on it everywhere.
After the press conference, "Prison Break" went into a closed shoot and rejected all reporters.
Those paparazzi spent a lot of effort trying to capture the situation on the set. Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything. Even if they crawled through a dog hole, they were caught and couldn't enter at all.
Xiao Yunhai also prohibited the crew from taking photos on the set.
Originally, in a situation like this, it was useless most of the time. No matter how strict the management was, there would still be extras who would secretly take photos and sell them to outsiders for money.
However, the "Prison Break" crew was an exception.
Xiao Yunhai gave the extras three times the salary outside, and the food was even better. No one was willing to lose this job. Naturally, management was twice the result with half the effort.
During the filming, Xiao Yunhai was most satisfied with the actors' performances.
Perhaps it was because everyone knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Xiao Yunhai to film a TV series, so they had made countless preparations in private. From the main character to the supporting characters, they had memorized their lines, expressions, and actions very well.
In particular, Scott Bloom portrayed the shrewdness and wisdom of the main character, Michael, incisively and vividly. His every move was full of charm. He was completely the performance of a Best Actor.
Under his lead, all the actors performed very well.
The actors were very supportive, so the filming progress was naturally very fast.
