Taking out her phone, Zhao Wanqing called Xiao Yunhai and said, "Hubby, Mr. Ruth wants to talk to you."
Keith Ruth took the phone and said, "Mr. Xiao, hello, I'm Keith Ruth."
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Mr. Ruth, I'm so miserable today. I was beaten to a pulp by your film. Haha, congratulations on winning the Best Director and Best Film awards. Since you chose to talk to me, then you're not particularly opposed to what my wife said, right? "
Cass Rus said, "Yes. Marvel Comics was the best company in Hollywood when it came to the treatment of directors and artists. Of course, I hope to join them. But I don't know what conditions I have. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "First, sufficient funds. As long as Mr. Ruth has a good script, you can directly apply to the company. We will satisfy you 100%, and only more, not less. Of course, the premise is that your script can pass the review department's review. Our company lacks good directors and good actors, but we don't lack funds. Secondly, there's your personal problem. To be honest, although 'The Life of John' was a huge success, in terms of fame and influence, there's a gap between you and the veteran directors. However, I can still give you the contract of an A-list director. The basic salary is 30 million USD, plus a 2% share of the movie's profits. If you want a better contract, you have to have the corresponding results. Similarly, if your next movie loses a lot, your A-list status will also drop to B-list status. Everything depends on your ability. "
Keith Ruth said, "I'm very confident in myself. Mr. Xiao, can I ask what kind of treatment Director Bikven will receive? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "As the best director in Hollywood, of course, it's the best. No matter what script, as long as he thinks there's no problem and the investment is less than 2 billion USD, he can start shooting without any restrictions. As for his personal income, the basic salary is 60 million USD, plus an 8% share of the movie's profits. Of course, if the movie's profits don't reach 2 billion USD, he won't get a single cent. Like I said before, everything depends on strength. "
Keith Ruth pursed his lips and said, "King Kong earned $15.2 billion at the box office worldwide. Doesn't that mean that he earned nearly $1 billion?"
Xiao Yunhai chuckled, "That's right. To be exact, it's 940 million USD. Of course, you still have to pay your own personal income tax. "
Bikven's "King Kong" had already been completed. It grossed 15.2 billion USD worldwide and ranked fourth in the global box office rankings. It was ridiculously awesome.
The current price of 3D movies was much lower than before. Even so, Bikven was still able to get $15.2 billion. It could be seen that his ability was much better than all the directors at Marvel except for Xiao Yunhai.
When Cass Ruth heard that Bikven had won $940 million with a movie, a trace of envy and yearning flashed across his face.
Keith Ruth was a person who was proud of his talent. Since "The Life of John" became popular all over the world, countless Hollywood entertainment companies had sent people to contact him. Unfortunately, they all failed. The reason was that the treatment given to him was far from his expectations.
Although Xiao Yunhai's reward was not the highest, his prospects were vast. As long as he could reach Bikven's position, he could get the same contract as him. This temptation was too great for the young Keith Ruth.
Keith Ruth said, "Okay, Mr. Xiao, I agree to join Marvel Comics."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "That's great. With Mr. Ruth joining, Marvel's future will definitely be brighter. Miss Mo from Marvel's management company should be there. You can go and find her. "
"Okay."
After hanging up, Keith Ruth returned to Zhao Wanqing and returned the phone to her. He said, "Miss Zhao, who is Miss Mo? Mr. Xiao asked me to find her."
When Zhao Wanqing invited Keith Ruth, everyone had already cast their eyes on them. Zhao Wanqing was surrounded by Bikven, David, and many other Hollywood stars from Marvel Comics. Mo Yina was naturally among them.
Keith Ruth's words undoubtedly meant that he had agreed to join Marvel. Everyone's face showed a smile.
Mo Yina stretched out her hand and said, "I'm Mo Yina from Marvel's management company. Welcome, Mr. Luce. "
Keith Ruth smiled and said, "Thank you."
When the actors and artists around saw this scene, they all began to talk about it.
"He agreed. He really agreed."
"Nonsense. It's Marvel, one of the top three giants in Hollywood. They are so powerful. If I were him, I would definitely agree. "
"Other giants also recruit him. Why can't he do it? It's because of the treatment. "
"That's right. Yun Huang is the most generous boss in Hollywood. All the artists who join him are now A-listers and have both fame and fortune. This is something that other companies can't compare with. "
"The two biggest movie markets in Hollywood, Marvel, and Hua Xia have both been occupied by Xiao Yunhai. In the future, no one can stop his progress."
Zhao Wanqing was very happy about Keith Ruth's joining. She said with a smile, "It's rare for everyone to come to Yan Jing. No matter what, I have to do my best as a host. Hua Xia's food is famous all over the world. If you don't have anything else to do, how about I treat you to a meal? "
Since the hostess was treating, everyone naturally had to give her face. They all nodded and agreed.
Cass Reuss said, "Miss Zhao, my crew …"
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Then let's go together. The more the merrier."
Keith Ruth said happily, "That's great."
Walking out of the venue, Zhao Wanqing, Keith Ruth, and the others were quickly surrounded by reporters.
"Miss Zhao, before the award ceremony, 'The Grandmaster' was the most popular film. In the end, Mr. Xiao lost three awards: Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Film. What do you think about this?"
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Whether my husband can win an award or not, in my heart, he will always be the best."
"The box office of 'The Grandmaster' was more than twice that of 'The Life of John', but it lost to it. Do you think that this year's Golden Bottle Jury is unfair? Did Mr. Xiao already know about it? Is that why he was angry and didn't come? "
Zhao Wanqing said, "The Golden Bottle Jury is made up of more than 300 famous filmmakers from all over the world. How can it be unfair? My husband is not a sore loser. He didn't come because he had more important things to do in Feicheng. As for whether or not he knew about it in advance, I can tell you clearly that we really don't know anything about the list of winners. "
"What do you think of Mr. Keith Ruth and his film 'The Life of John'?"
"Mr. Ruth is a talented and capable director. He used a literary film to get more than four billion dollars in the global box office and broke the box office record. I have to say, this is a miracle. Both my husband and I admire Mr. Ruth's directing ability very much. We hope to have a chance to work with him in the future. "
"By the way, I want to announce something to everyone. Mr. Keith Ruth has agreed to join Marvel. I believe that with the strong support of our company, his future will be more dazzling and limitless. "
Hearing Zhao Wanqing's words, the reporters were in an uproar.
"Damn, no way. How did they become a family?"
"This doesn't make sense. Cass Ruth had just beaten the crap out of Cloud Emperor, but in the blink of an eye, he had become a member of Marvel. This change is really too surprising. "
"I'm not surprised at all. With Yun Huang's current status, any award is no longer important to him. What people value is the person, do you understand? "
"To be able to become the richest man in the world before the age of 30, how can other people compare to his breadth of mind? I was hoping to get some information from Qing Hou, but now I can forget about it. "
