At 12 o 'clock sharp, Seymour Moore and Matthew Gubler, who had been greeting guests outside, walked in. They stood on the stage and gave a speech on the establishment of Starfall Game Company.
Although they weren't famous on Wall Street, everyone knew that they had become billionaires when they left Storm Game Company. Besides, they were the ones who developed World of Warcraft, which was envied by everyone. Therefore, no one dared to look down on them.
After the speech, the audience applauded warmly.
Then, Max Garcia also went on stage. He mainly congratulated Falling Star Game Company on its establishment and said that it would have great prospects in the future.
What surprised everyone was that after he finished speaking, he actually invited Xiao Yunhai to the stage to give a speech. Instantly, everyone's gaze turned to Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai drank the red wine in his glass and walked on the stage fearlessly. He smiled and said, "Although I didn't prepare in advance, I still want to thank Mr. Garcia for giving me a chance to give a speech. To be honest, when I heard that Seymour, Matthew, and Mr. Garcia had established Starfall Game Company together, I was very unhappy. Why? Because they were the founders of Storm Game Company. Now, they abandoned Storm and joined Whirlwind. Tell me, as the boss, how could I be happy? How much of a failure did I have to be to let them run away? Later, when I heard that Starfall was their own company and not Whirlwind's, I was very happy. This meant that they didn't leave me because I was a failure, but because they wanted to start their own company, be their own boss, and work for themselves. Therefore, I support them very much. "
"They are both excellent young people. It's normal for them to have dreams, drive, and ambition. After working with them for so long, I agree with their abilities 100%. After all, there is a successful example out there, and that is World of Warcraft, which is very popular all over the world. Therefore, I have no doubt that they can still develop games like World of Warcraft. "
"Here, I congratulate them for having their own Starfall Game Company. I also hope that Starfall will be a great success in the future. At the same time, I want to tell them that if they encounter any difficulties in the future, they can come to me or Storm Game Company. We will always be your strongest support. I only hope that when you succeed, you won't forget that you were once a member of Storm. Seymour, Matthew, and the 180 employees who walked out of Storm, a bright future awaits you. Good luck. "
Xiao Yunhai's words won applause from the audience. Seymour and Matthew Gubler were so moved that their eyes were brimming with tears.
They walked on the stage and gave Xiao Yunhai a big hug.
Garcia, who originally wanted to embarrass Xiao Yunhai, saw the situation in front of him and smiled bitterly. "I shouldn't have let him go on stage. His means are really powerful. With just a few words, he pulled Xie Mo and Matthew to his side. At the same time, he also won everyone's praise. 's's's's's right. ''s's's's's's's's's
David Steer nodded and said, "I have to admit that Xiao Yunhai is a genius. No, he's a monster."
After the cocktail party, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing didn't go back to the hotel. Instead, they went straight to the rehearsal.
As of today, everything had been settled. They started to focus on preparing for the concert in New York.
In Paramount's headquarters in Los Angeles, Franklin was raging on the phone.
"Are you stupid? I'm really wondering if there's something wrong with your head. Who is Kungfu Xiao? Is he someone you can provoke? You went to drink with Miss Zhao. Why don't you take a look at your own status? Not to mention that she's the wife of the richest man in the world. Even without this relationship, she's still an international superstar with hundreds of millions of fans. She's already giving you a lot of face by drinking with you. But you're still not satisfied. You deserve to be banned. "
Billy Quiller sobbed and said, "Ricky, I got drunk at the cocktail party. Those people didn't have good intentions. They knew that I can't hold my liquor and insisted on drinking with me. I really didn't do it on purpose. "
Franklin said angrily, "You still have the nerve to say that. What kind of occasion was that? There were so many bosses on Wall Street. You actually dared to get drunk. You're asking for death. Billy, let me tell you. Steyr Networks' board of directors is undergoing a huge change. Xiao Yunhai is the most important person. Not to mention you and me, even Mr. Steyr doesn't dare to offend him now. Do you understand? "
Billy Cueller asked, "Ricky, then what should I do? If there's no other way, I'll beg Mr. Xiao and Miss Zhao for forgiveness. "
Franklin sneered and said, "You provoked Mr. Xiao in front of so many people. Do you think he'll forgive you? Take a break for now. When Mr. Xiao is no longer a shareholder of Steyr Networks and the board of directors is settled, then you'll be able to do something. Billy, let me warn you. Your temper is too bad. It's time to change it. Otherwise, even if you make a comeback, you won't go far. Humph, if it weren't for the fact that you're my relative, I wouldn't even care about you. "
Just like that, poor Billy Cueller was completely banned by Paramount. The outside world could no longer find any information about him.
In the past few days, "King Kong" had attracted countless movie fans to the cinema with its superb reputation. It was extremely popular. After a week of screening, the box office had exceeded three billion dollars.
The day before yesterday, "King Kong" had been shown in European cinemas and continued to create miracles. In just two days, it had earned eight hundred million dollars at the box office. It was even better than the box office in North America. On the major movie websites, the movie fans gave it a score of 8.5 out of 10.
Based on the current situation, as long as there were no special circumstances, "King Kong" would definitely exceed ten billion dollars at the global box office.
However, it was not only Xiao Yunhai and Marvel's movies that could exceed ten billion dollars at the box office. The directors of other entertainment companies were not incompetent either. With their 3D movies, six directors had exceeded ten billion dollars at the box office, completely breaking Marvel's monopoly.
In order to enter the top ten of the global box office rankings, "King Kong" had to earn more than twelve billion dollars.
In this regard, Bikven was very confident. For him, twelve billion dollars was not difficult at all.
On January 18th, Yun Qing's world tour was held grandly at the New York Cultural Museum. The momentum was even greater than the concert in Los Angeles.
Especially since Wall Street was located in New York, countless tycoons brought their families to watch the live scene. Among them, there were two billionaires who were so excited that they fainted.
According to statistics, the number of fans who fainted at the concert in New York reached a record-breaking 584 people. Among them, four fans died when they could not be resuscitated.
However, his family did not cause trouble for Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing like the family of Hua Xia's fans. They were very emotional.
When facing the reporters, although they could not hide their sadness, they did not say anything bad about the two of them.
Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing personally went to the hospital and bowed to the four fans who had unfortunately passed away. They also gave each family a compensation of one million dollars.
Yun Qing TV broadcast the concert live again, and the ratings were higher than the one in Los Angeles.
Not only in Europe and the United States, but at the strong request of the fans, Hua Xia and Yun Qing TV also broadcast the two concerts. The fans who watched it were very satisfied.
Countless Hua Xia fans called for Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing's concerts to be restarted.
The Internet was full of posts posted by netizens.
"Their own stars can't hold a concert in their own home. What is this?"
"It's so torturous to not be able to watch such a great concert live."
"Depressing. I spent twenty thousand dollars to buy a ticket to the concert in New York. In the end, I fainted after watching for less than half an hour. I was so angry that I almost died. But I only want to say one word, it was worth it. "
"I envy the brother above. He's so happy."
"Look at the American fans. Even if four people died and hundreds fainted, they still did not change their minds. Look at us. I feel ashamed. "
"I strongly request the Ministry of Culture to cancel the decision to ban Yun Qing's concert."
"I support the person above. I want to watch the concert live. "
"I strongly support."
Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing had hundreds of millions of fans in China. They were like a big bundle of firewood. A little spark immediately ignited a raging fire.
The Ministry of Culture was a disaster. The server was directly attacked by the angry fans.
Liang Qianqiu did not dare to delay. He immediately called for an emergency meeting with the important leaders of the Ministry of Culture to discuss how to deal with this sudden incident.
Liang Qianqiu briefly explained the situation and said, "Because we restricted Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing's concerts, the fans were dissatisfied. Now, it's only the server problem. What I'm worried about next is that they will gather in Beijing to protest. When that time comes, it will really be out of control. What do you all think we should do? "
The director of the Film and Television Bureau, Gong Bo, said directly, "Back then, I said that we should not ban Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing's concerts. Unfortunately, no one listened. Now that things have come to this point, I think we should immediately revoke the ban. "
When Li Chengdong heard this, he objected without thinking. "Our Ministry of Culture can't change the rules like this. The reason why we stopped them back then was because people died at their concerts. I heard that a few days ago, almost a thousand people fainted at their concerts in Los Angeles and New York, and four people died. I would like to ask, is this still a concert? It's simply a death sentence. "
Chen Yixian nodded and said, "I completely agree with Deputy Minister Li's opinion. Their concerts are too scary. We definitely can't let them hold them in China. If something happens, who can bear the responsibility? "
Gong Bo sneered and asked, "If tens of thousands of fans flood into Beijing and cause an even bigger accident, or even a political incident, Deputy Minister Chen, can you bear the responsibility?"
Liang Qianqiu knocked on the table and said, "We're not talking about responsibility now, but how to deal with it appropriately. I just received a call from the government's general office. They said that the chief takes this matter very seriously and will absolutely not allow a mass appeal. I will report to the chief in a while. Deputy Minister Li, Deputy Minister Chen, if the two of you don't agree to revoke the ban, then give me a feasible solution. "
Li Chengdong and Chen Yixian looked at each other and did not speak.
What a joke. Not to mention that they didn't have a solution, even if they did, they wouldn't dare to say it.
If they didn't succeed, then their official position would be taken down.
