After the matter of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was settled, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing first returned to Zheng Hai to discuss the wedding with their parents.
The two of them set the date of the wedding to be October 16th. The wedding venue had not been chosen yet, but it would definitely not be in Hua Xia.
After all, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing were superstars with hundreds of millions of fans. Once the news of their marriage spread, no matter where it was in Hua Xia, it would probably cause a traffic jam and the wedding would definitely be impossible.
Xiao Qifeng and Chen Xiuzhu naturally had no objections to this.
The two of them stayed in Zheng Hai for a day and then flew directly to Los Angeles.
By the time they landed at Los Angeles International Airport, it was already 4: 30 in the afternoon. There were only two hours left before the screening of "Valiant Heroes".
Walking out of the airport, Xiao Yunhai immediately saw Kree and Daniel behind him.
Kree ignored him and walked over to Zhao Wanqing. He opened his arms and wanted to hug her.
Xiao Yunhai would not let him succeed. He quickly pulled Zhao Wanqing behind him and said, "Kree, don't give me that."
Kree sighed and said, "Xiao, you are too sensitive. This is our etiquette, okay?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Don't give me that. Who knows what a playboy like you is thinking? "
Kree shouted, "Xiao, I am so sad. We are brothers. How can you treat me like this? "
Xiao Yunhai snorted and said, "It is because I am so familiar with you that I have to guard against you."
"Okay, stop joking."
Zhao Wanqing walked out from behind Xiao Yunhai and generously reached out to shake Kree's hand. She said, "Kree, it is nice to see you again."
Kree laughed and said, "Wan Qing, you're getting more and more beautiful. You don't know how disappointed I was when I didn't see you in Beijing the last time. "
Xiao Yunhai said disdainfully, "Kree, your words are too fake."
Kree rolled his eyes and said, "Xiao, must you go against me today?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "So what? With your physique, I can beat a hundred of you by myself. "
Kree said, "There's an old saying in Hua Xia: a gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists. Only a fool would fight with you."
Daniel, who had been silent all this while, said, "Boss, Madam, Mr. Kree, it's getting late. Let's get in the car."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Alright. Kree, let's talk in the car. "
The few of them chatted and laughed as they walked to the parking lot.
On the way, Xiao Yunhai asked, "Kree, how's' Valiant Heroes'? Are the tickets selling well? "
Kree smiled and said, "They're selling quite well. Xiao, take a guess. How many views do you have on the Internet for the movie promotional video you made? "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Kree, just tell me directly. I hate guessing the most."
Kree said, "You're too boring. Let me tell you, a total of 160 million views. "
Zhao Wanqing asked in surprise, "Kree, I don't understand. How did this movie get so many views?"
Kree said, "Because it contains real Hua Xia kung fu. The Hua Xia kung fu movies that American movie fans used to watch were either flying around in the sky and were very fake. Or they were all fancy and impractical, with no power to speak of. But Xiao's trailer doesn't have such problems. Everything starts from actual combat, and every punch hits the flesh. It makes people's blood boil. Even I couldn't help but learn a few moves from it, let alone ordinary movie fans. "
Zhao Wanqing asked, "Based on your many years of experience, how much do you think this movie can sell at the box office?"
Kree thought for a while and said, "That's hard to say. Although Xiao's' Valiant Heroes' has successfully attracted the attention of at least tens of millions of movie fans, it still depends on the reaction of the movie fans. If it can get more than 8 out of 10 on Rotten Tomatoes, I can say with absolute certainty that 'Valiant Heroes' will be popular all over America. 500 million USD should not be a problem. "
Xiao Yunhai twitched his mouth and said, "Kree, 500 million USD is not enough to satisfy me. One billion USD is more like it."
Kree shook his head and said, "Xiao, that's impossible. The investment for your movie, including the publicity, is less than 100 million USD. It's no doubt impossible to reach one billion USD. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Kree, let's wait and see. Once 'Valiant Heroes' is successful, I will bring my actors to the TV station to perform. For the sake of the box office, I don't mind showing everyone what real Hua Xia kungfu is. "
Kree's eyes lit up and said, "Xiao, it seems like you want to do something big."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Of course. I dare to let 'Valiant Heroes' be screened in America because I am confident. Kree, when the time comes, I hope you can introduce me to a talk show with the highest ratings. "
Kree snapped his fingers and said, "No problem. I am very good friends with the most famous talk show host in America, Emma Watson. However, her questions are very sharp and tricky. She will give you a lot of problems. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "As long as her show has high ratings, it's fine. By the way, Kree, we are going to buy a villa in Los Angeles. It's best if we can move in directly. Do you have anything you can recommend? "
When Kree heard this, it was as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He said happily, "Xiao, you have found the right person. I know all the big and small villas in Los Angeles. What price range are you going to buy? Do you have any requirements? "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "You will have to ask my wife."
Zhao Wanqing thought for a while and said, "I hope to buy a manor-style villa. It has to be large and well-equipped. It would be best if it has a garden and a swimming pool. The price cannot exceed 50 million USD."
Kree smiled and said, "Wan Qing, I have a friend who wants to sell a villa. It is about 4,780 square meters in European style. It has more than 60 rooms, three swimming pools, a wine cellar, a gym, a movie screening room, a hot spring treatment, and so on. It fits your requirements very well. However, it is a little expensive. "
Xiao Yunhai asked, "How long will he live there? How much does it cost? "
Kree said, "He has not lived there since he bought it. This guy is called Sal. He owns a cinema and TV station under his name. He is a billionaire. He likes to buy villas at a low price and sell them at a high price. This villa is about half an hour's drive from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was built in 1993. I heard that this guy only spent 42 million USD when he bought it. Now he is offering 120 million USD, which is three times the price. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "He really knows how to do business. Money is not a problem. It is mainly about the location. Kree, if you are free tomorrow, can you take me and Wan Qing to take a look? "
Kree smiled and said, "Of course. I like things like buying houses and cars. "
Zhao Wanqing said, "Honey, isn't it too expensive?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "120 million USD for a 5,000-square-meter villa. Honey, it is not expensive. If it is in Hua Xia, it will be impossible to get it without at least a billion USD. If it is suitable, we can choose to hold our wedding there. What do you think? "
Zhao Wanqing said, "Okay, I will listen to you."
Soon, the car stopped in front of an Italian restaurant. They ate some food and then went to MGM Grand Cinema.
There was still half an hour before the screening of Valiant Heroes. Xiao Yunhai saw that there was still a long line in front of the ticket counter. He asked, "Kree, when do you sell the tickets? The movie is about to start. Why are there still so many people waiting in line? "
Kree said, "Usually, we sell the tickets two hours in advance. If it is a really popular movie, we will sell the tickets two hours in advance. From the current situation, the attendance of the movie should be very good. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Kree, you said in the car that my movie caused a sensation in the United States. I thought it would be sold out by now. I didn't expect it to be so far away. "
Kree explained, "Xiao, you don't know about this. Because there are too many movies released in the United States every year, movie fans are very careful when they choose. Although Valiant Heroes has successfully attracted their attention, there is no familiar Hollywood star in it. Therefore, the fans need to confirm that the movie is of good quality before they enter the cinema. From the looks of it, compared to the other newcomer movies, 'Valiant Heroes' is already much better than them. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "You mean to say that for Valiant Heroes, reputation is the key to success?"
Kree said, "That's right."
Xiao Yunhai said confidently, "Then I am relieved."
Kree looked at him and said, "Xiao, what I envy the most about you is that you are always so confident in yourself."
