At seven o 'clock in the evening of the second day, Xiao Yunhai wore sportswear and ran directly to the hotel where they had agreed to meet.
It was only twenty miles from the villa to the hotel. With Xiao Yunhai's stamina and speed, he could reach in half an hour. If he drove, it would take at least an hour.
Wu Yifa was amused when he saw Xiao Yunhai's expression. He said, "Old Xiao, are you trying to save fuel or lose weight?"
Xiao Yunhai said angrily, "I'm trying to save time and effort. Even running is faster than driving in Beijing. Hey, Director Guy, Teacher Liang, Richard, you guys are here too. "
The few of them greeted him politely.
Wu Yifa said, "Let's go in first."
After entering the private room, Wu Yifa asked the waiter to serve the dishes. After a while, the dishes were served.
Xiao Yunhai said, "I know why you guys asked me to come here. Director Guy is just telling the truth. He's not targeting me. I know that very well, and I don't take it seriously. At that time, I told Teacher Liang that I won't target you guys on purpose, nor will I help you. You guys asked Old Wu to come here just to let me say something. But in this situation, I'm really in a difficult position. After all, they're doing this for me. "
Xiao Yunhai also saw the problems that Jedi Cop encountered on the Internet. Xiao Yunhai was very touched by his fans' reaction.
Guy said, "Mr. Xiao, I apologize to you. I admit that I wanted to use your popularity in Hua Xia to promote Jedi Cop. I didn't mean to slander you, but I didn't expect to anger your fans. Mr. Xiao, this movie has sold more than six billion USD in Europe and America. Because of this, those companies are deliberately targeting us on the Internet so that we don't pose a threat to them in Hua Xia. It's all because of them that the situation has developed to this extent. Now, you're the only one who can save us. "
Liang Hui also advised, "Yunhai, Jedi Cop is a Chinese-US co-production. The box office is expected to exceed ten billion USD. It would be a pity if it was destroyed because of a few words from Director Guy. You're a movie lover, so you probably can't bear to see it sink, right? "
Xiao Yunhai took a sip of tea and said, "Teacher Liang, what do you want me to do?"
Liang Hui was stunned when he heard this. They had hoped that something would happen to Xiao Yunhai, but no matter what, they had never thought of this problem.
Wu Yifa smiled and said, "That's easy. Why don't you just say that you've forgiven the crew of Jedi Cop? "
Xiao Yunhai rolled his eyes and said snappily, "I've never blamed them. How can I forgive them?"
Wu Yifa said, "Then just say that you'll be attending the premiere of Jedi Cop tomorrow. When the fans see what you've done, they won't boycott the movie anymore."
Liang Hui's eyes lit up and he said, "That's right. Yunhai, as long as you send out a message tonight, everything will be fine. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I didn't even go to the premiere of Marvel's movie. Instead, I went to your place. Do you think it's appropriate? How about this? Let Wan Qing go tomorrow. "
Liang Hui slapped his thigh and said happily, "That's a good idea."
Wu Yifa nodded and gave Xiao Yunhai a thumbs up. He said, "It's a pity that you're not in politics."
Under the current circumstances, Zhao Wanqing was undoubtedly the most suitable person to attend the premiere. She could also tactfully express Xiao Yunhai's attitude.
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Old Wu, I don't understand why you want to get involved in this."
Wu Yifa smiled and said, "Because this movie was screened at Yanhuang Cinemas. The European and American regions have already brought us more than two billion USD in revenue. How can I not come?"
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "I see. Sure enough, you're a capitalist who won't act without seeing the hare. "
After seeing that the matter had been resolved successfully, Guy happily raised his glass and said, "Mr. Xiao, thank you very much. I'd like to propose a toast to you. "
Xiao Yunhai raised his glass and clinked it with Guy's. He said, "You don't have to do that. Teacher Liang is right. I really don't want an excellent movie to have such a big problem because of me. I wish you all the best at the box office. "
After saying that, Xiao Yunhai tilted his neck and drank two and a half ounces of wine in one gulp.
Guy also drank it in one gulp.
After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Xiao Yunhai put down his chopsticks and suddenly heard a snoring sound next to him.
He turned his head and saw Guy lying on the table, sleeping with a red face.
Xiao Yunhai was dumbfounded. He looked at Liang Hui and Richard and asked, "Director Guy doesn't drink usually?"
Richard said, "I've only seen him drink red wine. Basically, he can't drink a glass. He can drink almost a bottle of beer. As for Hua Xia's baijiu, this should be his first time drinking it. "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "He just drank a glass in one gulp. I thought his alcohol tolerance was very high."
Liang Hui said, "I'll call the driver and ask him to take Director Guy back to rest."
After a while, a chauffeur came in and helped Guy away.
Xiao Yunhai turned to look at Richard and said, "Have you drunk baijiu before? If you can't, I can change it for beer. "
Richard patted his strong chest and said, "How can I not be able to drink? Some time ago, I got everyone in the production team drunk. "
Liang Hui laughed and said, "Yunhai, Richard's alcohol tolerance is no less than yours. Last time, he drank five liters of Maotai and was completely fine. He can be called the god of alcohol. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Then I'll have to experience it. Come, Richard, let's drink first. "
Richard seemed to know the etiquette of Hua Xia. Although he was older than Xiao Yunhai, when he clinked glasses, he lowered his glass a little lower than Xiao Yunhai's and shouted, "Cheers."
After three rounds of wine and five dishes.
Richard gave Xiao Yunhai a thumbs up and said, "Xiao, you're really amazing. You actually have so many fans in Hua Xia. Director Guy's way of promoting his movie is very normal in America, but I didn't expect that it would anger your fans and cause a boycott by all the fans of Hua Xia. Such a thing will never happen in Hollywood, no matter how high your achievements are. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "It's just my brothers and sisters who are flattering me."
Richard shrugged and said, "You Hua Xia people are always so humble. Liang is like this, and so are you. "
Liang Hui chuckled and said, "This is a good tradition of Hua Xia. Richard, you won't understand. Yunhai, your 'Tang Bohu Tasting the Fragrance of Autumn' is really amazing. Yesterday, you won more than 300 million yuan. I heard that many fans have watched it three or four times. Back then, when Director Guy compared our movie to yours, I felt that it wasn't that simple. Haha, how could the movie you made be defeated so easily? As expected, this costume comedy can't stand out from the other blockbusters in Hua Xia. It's really amazing. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "But it was also scolded badly by those film critics. And from the looks of it, it seems to be getting worse."
Liang Hui frowned and said, "That's right. In the past few years, film critics and fans often have different opinions, but the scores are always within one or two points, so there isn't much of a problem. Now, the two sides were on opposite ends of the spectrum. Dozens of film critics gave you zero points, but more than 95% of film fans gave you more than nine points. Such a huge gap directly caused the two sides to be on opposite ends of the spectrum. The film critics' foresight is being questioned by the fans. And everything started because of you. You and 'Tang Bohu Tasting the Fragrance of Autumn' have been pushed to the top of this wave. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It's a good opportunity to do free publicity for my movie."
Liang Hui shook his head and said, "Yunhai, this matter won't end so easily. You have to know that film critics are an official organization in Hua Xia. Every name is registered under the Film and Television Bureau. Now that this organization is being questioned so much by the fans, the impact will probably be very big. "
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Actually, the biggest problem with film critics is that they can't bend their backs. They always feel that a movie with deep thoughts is a good movie, but the fans obviously don't think so. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me. Let them do whatever they want. "
After dinner, Xiao Yunhai took Wu Yifa's car home.
In the car, Xiao Yunhai asked, "Old Wu, how are you going to deal with Steyr E-Commerce Network?"
Because of Liang Hui and Richard's presence at the dining table, Xiao Yunhai could not talk to Wu Yifa about this issue.
Wu Yifa said, "Merge. I'm going to merge Steyr E-Commerce Network into Yunyi Shopping Network, forming two online business models, B2B and B2C. It allows everyone to receive two types of services on the same website. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "You have to be careful. Don't get yourself into trouble before you can catch the fox. "
Wu Yifa smiled and said, "You can put your heart at ease. I've used half a year to come up with the most meticulous plan. If something goes wrong, it only shows that I'm a dumb pig. I don't think I'm that dumb. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's not necessarily true. Let me ask you again. I'm the one who paid for Steyr Networks' shares for you. When do you plan to buy it back? I'm telling you, if you don't hurry up, I'll leave you behind and become the chairman of Yunyi Shopping Network's board of directors. I already have Yunqing Network anyway, I don't mind managing another e-commerce website. "
Wu Yifa knew that Xiao Yunhai was joking to scare him, but he had to face the problem seriously.
After all, this was an asset worth hundreds of billions. It was better to have it in his own hands than anyone else.
Wu Yifa said, "Give me three months. I'll return the money I owe you."
Xiao Yunhai grinned. "That's more like it."
