After resting for five to six hours, the plane landed steadily at Los Angeles Airport. The sky was just starting to brighten.
The person who came to pick them up was the person in charge of Magic Visual Effects, Daniel.
After getting into the car, Xiao Yunhai asked, "Daniel, did you encounter any difficulties with the special effects of Celestial Bane?"
Daniel said, "Don't worry, boss. Everything went smoothly. But according to the current progress, three months won't be enough to create it perfectly. "
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "If three months isn't enough, make it four months. We're not in a hurry anyway. With the quality of this film, I don't think there will be any competition for it in any other schedule. "
Daniel smiled and said, "That's true. I saw a few of the images produced. Even through the screen, I felt a shocking sense of beauty. It's just too beautiful. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "When the time comes, it'll be even more beautiful when we put it on the IMAX screen. Is there any big news in Hollywood recently? "
Daniel said, "It's all about the movies. Paramount's two consecutive 3DIMAX movies have finished screening. One of them earned 86 million USD and the other 9.83 billion USD at the global box office. They made a lot of money. "There's also Brilliant Pictures that you asked us to take care of. They're even more amazing. An artistic film with an investment of only 120 million US dollars had won 2.2 billion US dollars. Even now, it was still in the process of being released. "I heard that they invested in eight movies in one go and worked with actors from many movie companies, including Marvel. They've become a new star in Hollywood. "General Motors is doing well too. They earned more than 6 billion USD in profit from three movies. "This is really the best era for movies."
Xiao Yunhai asked, "After saying so much, what's the situation with Marvel's movies?"
Daniel smiled and said, "Marvel released two big animated movies in the past two months. Excluding the peripherals, we earned 8.9 billion USD in the box office. "The three Marvel superhero movies used the latest 3DIMAX technology and earned 18.4 billion USD. Although the results weren't too good, the profit still reached more than eight billion. Of the other five movies, one suffered a loss, one broke even, and the other three made a profit of 3.6 billion USD. After this, we still have three more movies to release. I believe the results won't be bad. "
After hearing Daniel's report, Xiao Yunhai nodded with satisfaction.
Thinking back to when he had just taken over Marvel, it was a world of difference.
Xiao Yunhai saved the company, which had been struggling at death's door, and made it the strongest company in Hollywood. Xiao Yunhai had to admit that he felt a sense of accomplishment.
Wu Yifa did some calculations and said in shock, "Marvel earned 15 billion USD in just two months. That's too scary. It's comparable to Yun Yi's shopping site. "
Daniel said proudly, "It's October 16th now. The next 14 days are enough for us to earn 20 billion dollars."
Wu Yifa exclaimed, "Gosh, I want to set up a movie company now. This is so profitable."
Xiao Yunhai chuckled. "You only see the wolf eating, not the wolf being beaten. In Hollywood, there are movie company bosses who commit suicide every year. Why? It's because the movie investment was lost and the bank debt couldn't be repaid, so the company had to go bankrupt. There are too many examples like this. It can't be helped. The competition in the film industry is too fierce. "
Daniel nodded. "That's right. By the end of last month, of the 126 film companies in Hollywood, only 38 of them were making money, and 12 of them had earned more than 1 billion US dollars. Four of them went bankrupt, and the rest more or less lost money. "
Wu Yifa asked curiously, "What about the eight giants of Hollywood?"
Daniel grinned. "All of them. Among them, Marvel earned the most. They calculated that it was 68.3 billion USD. In fact, we've also worked with many smaller companies and invested in many movies. The total profit is 76.8 billion USD. The second is Paramount with 36.2 billion USD and the third is General Pictures with 32 billion USD. These three companies were in the top three in Hollywood last year. I don't think they'll run away this year. "
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Daniel, did Raúl tell you this insider information?"
Daniel chuckled. "That's right."
Wu Yifa gave Xiao Yunhai a thumbs up. "You're amazing, kid. Each company under you is better than the other."
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "It's just a small matter. It's no big deal."
They found an Italian restaurant along the way and had some food before heading to the building rented for the special effects team of more than five thousand people.
It was just the beginning of the working hours. When they arrived, the staff working on the post-production effects had already started working.
Xiao Yunhai checked the progress. Daniel was right. The speed was not fast. It was mainly because Xiao Yunhai's requirements were too high and the work was too detailed. Not to mention three months, they might not even be able to complete it in four months. However, the effect was very satisfying.
When Zhao Wanqing saw it, she said with a look of infatuation, "Is this really the Qingyun Sect? I can't believe it. It's too beautiful. "
Wu Yifa sighed. "Paradise. This is the paradise in the hearts of Hua Xia people. Old Xiao, hurry up and release this film. I must watch it. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "There's no hurry. It will definitely be released in half a year."
At this moment, Zhao Wanqing's phone suddenly rang. She opened it and saw that it was her mother, Yan Piaoyun.
"Mom, why are you calling me at this time? It should be past ten o 'clock in the evening in Beijing."
Yan Piaoyun choked and said, "Wan Qing, your father attended a class reunion tonight. I don't know why he suddenly fainted. He's in the emergency room now. I don't know what to do. "
When Zhao Wanqing heard this, her eyes instantly turned red. She said in a panic, "Mom, don't worry. Who's in the hospital with you now? "
Yan Piaoyun said, "Your father-in-law is calling Old Master Xiao to contact the best hospital and experts. I'm a little out of my wits now. That's why I called you. "
Zhao Wanqing said, "Mom, Yunhai and I are in Los Angeles. We'll rush to Beijing now. We'll probably arrive in the morning. We can't answer the phone on the plane. If there's anything, don't worry. "
Yan Piaoyun nodded and said, "Okay, come back quickly."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Wanqing's face instantly burst into tears. She cried and said, "Hubby, let's go back quickly. My father is in the emergency room. Boohoo … "
Xiao Yunhai hugged her in his arms and patted her back gently. He comforted her, "Honey, don't worry too much. Heaven helps a worthy person. He'll be fine. Let's go to the airport and return home immediately. "
Zhao Wanqing made a sound of agreement.
The three of them arrived at the company for less than an hour before they rushed to the airport.
On the way, Xiao Yunhai called his father, Xiao Changfeng.
"Dad, how's the situation?"
Xiao Changfeng said, "I'm not sure. He's still in the emergency room. This is Beijing's Second People's Hospital. It's the closest place to Ming Sheng's restaurant, so his friends helped him to come here. I've already asked your grandfather to invite the Imperial Physician. He'll be here soon. "
Xiao Yunhai knitted his brows and asked, "Dad, did my father-in-law drink a lot?"
Xiao Changfeng said, "His classmate said that he didn't drink much. It was only one cup, not even two taels. We'll know the specific reason when the doctor comes out. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Dad, according to Beijing's time, we'll arrive tomorrow morning. I'll contact you again at that time. "
Xiao Changfeng said, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yunhai said to Zhao Wanqing, "Honey, don't worry. Grandpa has already invited an Imperial Physician over. I believe there won't be any problem."
Zhao Wanqing nodded, but her face was still very worried.
