The B-list stars had long given up on the idea of setting up a studio. Now, the A-list stars and directors were more conflicted.
After a few minutes, Xiao Yunhai knocked on the table and said with a smile, "I'll make it clear in advance that what Mr. Wagner and David said wasn't something we colluded to say to dispel your thoughts. I'm also an artist, and I know very well that you want freedom. It's just that you have to act within your means. Besides, I dare say that the company's contract with you has already given you the greatest freedom. This is something that no other entertainment company in Hollywood or even the world will give you. At Marvel, we have ample resources. You have more choices than artists from other companies, and you don't have to do anything outside of acting. "
"Of course, if you want to set up a studio, I won't stop you. Yesterday, CEO Mo asked me what my opinion was. My answer was neither support nor oppose. It's up to you to decide. Anyway, this matter is not urgent. Go back and think about it. If you want to give it a try, go directly to CEO Mo. However, I'll give you one last piece of advice. If you don't have connections and have less than 300 million dollars, you'd better not even think about it. Okay, the meeting is over. "
Everyone frowned and got up to leave the meeting room.
Xiao Yunhai looked at Bikven, who was deep in thought, and chuckled. "Director Bikven, do you want to set up your own studio?"
Bikwin was taken aback, then he nodded and said, "I do have this idea. But after listening to David, I'm a little worried. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "Then you should go back and think about it. No matter what decision you make, I'll support you. "
Bikven said, "Thank you."
At that moment, Sheila Lucia seemed to have made up her mind. She bit her rosy lips and said, "Mr. Xiao, CEO Mo, I want to set up my own studio."
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "If you want to do it, go ahead. Marvel will be your backer. Your studio will be treated the same as David's. Ms. Lucia, I wish your studio a prosperous one. By the way, if you agree, we can publicize it. Weren't the artists from other companies causing trouble? We can add fuel to the fire. "
Sheila Lucia giggled. "Mr. Xiao, you're so bad. Alright, I'll post this on my homepage. "
Half an hour later, the news that Sheila Lucia was going to set up her own studio quickly spread in Hollywood, and the impatient stars posted in her comment section.
"Congratulations to Sheerah for setting up her own studio. I'm so envious."
"Being able to join Marvel is definitely the happiest thing for a Hollywood actor. Not only are there more resources, but they can also give us more.
An actor had the greatest freedom. I sincerely wish you all the best. "
"Sheerah, you're so lucky to have such an open-minded boss like Mr Xiao. Good luck, I wish you success. "
.....
In less than half an hour, the comments section on Sheila Lucia's homepage had been attacked by more than forty Hollywood stars. It was clear how much everyone thought of her studio.
At the headquarters of Paramount Pictures.
Franklin looked at Sheerah Lucia's homepage and cursed, "Xiao, you're just a sh * t-stirrer in Hollywood."
Paramount Pictures was the same as Marvel. Although the artists didn't seem to have anything on the surface, there were turbulent waves in the dark, and all it took was a fuse for it to immediately explode.
Xiao Yunhai's arrival in Los Angeles naturally couldn't be hidden from the Hollywood entertainment companies. Even his meeting this morning was known by people like Franklin.
Everyone was waiting for Xiao Yunhai's results. Unexpectedly, not only did he not cancel David Hartnett's studio, but he also agreed to let Sheerah Lucia set up her own studio.
This was a fatal blow to the major Hollywood entertainment companies.
Marvel Comics was now one of the eight giants of Hollywood. Even it had agreed to let its artists set up a star studio, so what right did the other companies have to object?
Paramount Pictures was still alright, at least on the surface, but the other companies weren't so lucky.
In the afternoon, at General Pictures, one of the eight giants of Hollywood, Dalton Welch looked at the famous director Ivan and Kozmo in front of him and felt a headache. He cursed Xiao Yunhai in his heart.
Less than ten minutes after Sheerah Lucia announced that she wanted to set up her studio, Ivan and Kozmo came looking for him.
Welch knew very well that they were just two representatives of the company's artists, and there were dozens of stars behind them.
Once he agreed to their request, those people would probably step into his office one after another.
Most of Marvel's artists were pushed up by Xiao Yunhai. They had a poor foundation and no ability, but General Pictures was different. Many A-list stars had the ability to set up their own studios, let alone the best actors and actresses.
Dalton Welch smiled bitterly and asked, "Do you want to leave the company so badly?"
Ivan shook his head and said, "Boss, this isn't leaving. Like David, we're changing the way we work together. We're still General Pictures."
Dalton Welch sighed and said, "This is too big. I need to report to General Pictures."
Kozmo frowned slightly and said, "Boss, actually, it's good for the company that we set up our own studio. The company can only take 10% of the profits from us, which is only tens of millions of dollars a year. But it's different now. Once our movies are successful, the company can also profit from them. Just like David, losing two movies didn't affect Marvel at all. But once we make money, we'll get more than 100 million in profit. This is much more than when David was just an actor. "
Dalton Welch said, "I know about this. How about this, I'll give you an answer by tomorrow at the latest? "
Ivan and Kozmo looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
After both of them left, Dalton Welch looked troubled. After a while, he took out his phone and called Xiao Yunhai.
Due to Xiao Yunhai's collaboration with General Pictures on Yun Yi Shopping Network, they had a good relationship, so they spoke casually.
"Xiao, this celebrity studio you set up really killed me. Just now, all the big directors and movie stars in our company came to me, asking to set up their own studios. What do you think I should do? "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Of course you should agree to them. Dalton, you have to understand that this isn't the past. The competition in the entertainment industry is getting fiercer and the value of stars is getting higher. You see, it's been less than two years and the salary of Hollywood's top stars has risen to 60 million. So if you want to tie them to your wagon, you have to have a strong and durable rope. The contract you've signed is obviously not going to work, so use their studios as that rope. At the very least, they won't jump ship. "
Dalton Welch smiled bitterly. "What else can I do other than agree? Many of them still have a year left on their contract with General Pictures. If I don't agree, they'll probably leave next year. Sigh, if you ask me, this is all your fault. If it weren't for David, how could it have caused such a huge commotion in Hollywood? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "If you want to blame someone, blame the person who exposed the bill of David's studio."
Dalton Welch said, "Forget it. Now that things have come to this, I can't blame anyone. Xiao, I'm not just calling about the celebrity studio. More importantly, I want to talk to you about the sales of Yazhou Electronics' Granule phones and tablets. "
