At 9 AM the next day, Su Yingxue arrived at Xiao Yunhai's villa.
Zhao Wanqing made a cup of tea for her and said, "Sister Xue, you're really early."
Su Yingxue smiled. "How can I not be early? Yesterday afternoon, I told Mr. Xue that Yunhai was willing to stay in the company. Mr. Xue agreed without even thinking about it, and he even repeatedly reminded me to hurry up and deal with it. If I didn't know that Yunhai's words are always firm, I'm afraid I would have come over last night. "
Xiao Yunhai looked at the contract and didn't find any problems. He picked up the pen and signed it.
He handed one of the contracts to Su Yingxue and said, "Sister Xue, am I a free man now?"
Su Yingxue nodded. "That's right. Our contract is canceled today. How about it? Do you feel like a fish in the vast sea and a bird flying in the sky? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "I just want to say that I don't have to pay the company for my acting fees anymore."
Su Yingxue pointed at Xiao Yunhai and scolded with a smile, "You're already a billionaire, yet you still care about such a small amount of money. I really don't know what to say about you. "
Since Xiao Yunhai had signed the contract with Tianhua Film and Television, he had to pay the company a commission every time he acted in a role.
Take "Valiant Heroes" as an example. Xiao Yunhai acted as the main character, Chen Zhen. According to his net worth and the contract signed by both parties, Tianhua received 15 million yuan.
One must know that he had invested in all his films, so he had to pay the money himself. It was really depressing.
Su Yingxue still had a lot of things to do, so she only chatted with the two for a while before leaving.
After Su Yingxue left, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing came to Music City to play the accompaniment of "Woman Flower" and "Loyalty to the Country".
Just as the two of them were busy with the music, the news that 'Valiant Heroes' had not been approved started to spread.
Yesterday, the news of Xiao Yunhai's return to the capital had been published on the front page of all the major magazines and newspapers.
Without exception, all of them introduced the achievements of "Elite Heroes" overseas and hoped that the Film and Television Bureau would immediately issue a license for "Elite Heroes" so that the movie could be released to the public as soon as possible.
Because the media had scruples in their hearts, they were very tactful and polite. However, the netizens, especially Xiao Yunhai's fans, could not be suppressed by the Film and Television Bureau.
The internet had always been the fastest medium to spread, and the video of Xiao Yunhai being interviewed at the Beijing International Airport had already spread on the internet.
At the same time, the netizens also knew that the "Valiant Heroes" that was popular in the United States had not received a screening license, which made everyone very angry.
In just one night, the Film and Television Bureau's homepage was flooded by millions of movie fans.
There were also countless posts insulting the Film and Television Bureau on all the major forums on the internet.
"What is the Film and Television Bureau doing? A Hua Xia martial arts movie that was screened in the United States for half a month still hasn't been approved by them. What a joke. "
"I'm really speechless towards our Hua Xia Film and Television Bureau. They take our taxpayers' money but do nothing all day long. A two-hour movie and they haven't finished reviewing it for more than twenty days. Their efficiency is too high. "
"I really have to hand it to them. It only took the American film review committee two or three days to complete the review of a foreign film. But the Film and Television Bureau still hasn't finished reviewing it after three weeks. No wonder the gap between Hua Xia Film and Hollywood is so big. The problem lies with the Film and Television Bureau. "
"I suspect that Yun Huang has offended a high-ranking official in the Film and Television Bureau. Otherwise, why would they keep delaying the review?"
"Big shots from the Film and Television Bureau, please be magnanimous and let us watch" Valiant Heroes "."
… … …..
The next day, a few pieces of news blew up the entire Hua Xia Film and made the netizens even angrier.
"Latest news, 'Valiant Heroes' premiered in Asia yesterday and all the theaters were full. Apart from Hua Xia Film and Valiant Heroes has been screened worldwide. "
"'Valiant Heroes' showed its prowess again. It screened three times in a row last night and swept the Asian countries with a box office of 380 million dollars."
"Europe's legendary achievement, 'Valiant Heroes' screened for two days and earned 290 million dollars."
"'Valiant Heroes' box office exceeded 2.3 billion dollars."
Countless pieces of news about "Valiant Heroes" sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. More and more netizens were cursing the Film and Television Bureau.
What a joke. A movie made in their own country was being screened all over the world. They were the only ones who couldn't see it. If the news spread, they would become a joke.
Some rich second-generation heirs flew to the neighboring countries to take a look. When they came back, they were full of praise for "Valiant Heroes". They said that it was the pinnacle of Kung Fu movies and that it brought out real combat to the extreme. It made the netizens envious and angry.
The TV screen in the Film and Television Bureau's meeting room was showing Xiao Yunhai being interviewed by the reporters at the airport.
After it finished playing, Acting Director Yang Li's face was gloomy. He slammed the table and said, "This Xiao Yunhai relied on his movie to achieve good results in America and actually dared to criticize our Film and Television Bureau. This is preposterous. These two days, the fans have been cursing the Film and Television Bureau without restraint. This is the root of it. Everyone, what do you think we should do? "
Deputy Director Peng Ximao was the first to stand up and said, "Back then, when we were reviewing 'Empresses in the Palace', Xiao Yunhai had criticized us on the show. Now that it's' Valiant Heroes', I didn't expect his old habits to resurface. I feel that we can't tolerate him anymore. We have to deal with him seriously. "
Xiao Yuanyang chuckled and said, "Deputy Director Peng, what do you mean by 'deal with him seriously'? You're not going to ban him, right? "
Due to Xiao Yuanyang's status, Peng Ximao was wary of him. His tone softened, but he still said, "So what if we ban him?"
Xiao Yuanyang said, "Deputy Director Peng, don't forget about Ye Yongren. Xiao Yunhai now has 150 million fans. It's five times more than Ye Yongren's fans. If we ban him because of a few complaints, aren't you afraid that his fans will block the entrance of the Film and Television Bureau again? Furthermore, his Kung Fu movies have taken the world by storm. Who knows how many people are looking at him now? I don't want to embarrass the Film and Television Bureau in front of the whole world. "
Yang Li narrowed his eyes and said, "Then what do you suggest we do, Deputy Director Xiao?"
Xiao Yuanyang smiled and said, "It's easy. Since the fans all want to watch 'Valiant Heroes', why don't we just let them do as they wish? "
Yang Li looked at the head of the Auditing Department, Li Chang Long and said, "Department Head Li, is there any problem with 'Valiant Heroes'?"
Li Chang Long said, "Yes, and it's a big problem. Xiao Yunhai was right in the interview. The fighting scenes in this movie are very realistic. But because it's too realistic, I'm worried that it will have a bad influence on the younger fans. "
Xiao Yuanyang frowned and said, "It's just a Kung Fu movie. As long as there aren't too many violent scenes, isn't it fine? Hua Xia Kung Fu is one of the famous brands in our country. What's wrong with bringing real Kung Fu to the screen? Department Head Li, aren't you making a big fuss over a small issue? "
Yang Li said, "Deputy Director Xiao, the Auditing Department has its own strict criteria for judging a movie. We're not professionals, and we've never watched a movie before. What you're saying is interfering with the Auditing Department's work. Everyone knows that you have a good relationship with Xiao Yunhai. You can't interfere with the public's work because of personal reasons. "
Xiao Yuanyang said, "I'm just giving my suggestion. Back then, Director Zhang had said that the review time for a movie would be increased from one month to half a month. Now, 'Valiant Heroes' has been in our review department for more than 20 days. I really want to ask, what are the comrades in the department doing? Director Yang, everyone knows that you don't have a good relationship with Xiao Yunhai. Could it be that they're doing this under your instructions? When Director Zhang was here, Xiao Yunhai's movies and TV series could be finished in less than three days. Why is there a problem with his movie when you're in charge? "
When everyone saw the two directors fighting, they immediately kept quiet out of fear. The atmosphere in the conference room became tense.
Yang Li snorted and said, "I don't have the time to deliberately target a small artist. Since the Auditing Department has already given their explanation, we'll follow the rules. Department Head Li, give Xiao Yunhai a call and ask him to re-edit the movie. Director Zhang, post a message on our homepage saying that there's a problem with 'Valiant Heroes' and we've already informed Xiao Yunhai. After the editing is done, it will be released. "
Director Zhang nodded and said, "Okay."
Yang Li said, "Does anyone have any other questions?"
Xiao Yuanyang said, "Director Yang, I don't agree with the way you're handling this. Although I haven't watched the movie, what you're doing is very likely to cause a big problem. "
Yang Li snorted and said, "I'm just following the rules. The Film and Television Bureau's rules are not just for show. If there's a problem with the movie, it should be edited. Even if the higher-ups ask, I'll say the same thing. Alright, the meeting is over. "
After reprimanding Xiao Yuanyang, Yang Li left the conference room in a good mood. However, he didn't notice that Xiao Yuanyang's eyes flashed with joy.
Yang Li was digging his own grave.
Xiao Yuanyang still didn't understand that he was already standing on the opposite side of the movie fans. How dare he make a move on an internationally influential movie? Haha, it looked like he was really out of his mind.
When he thought of this, Xiao Yuanyang, who originally didn't have any hope for the position of director, saw a glimmer of hope.
Xiao Yuanyang purposely put on an ugly expression. He picked up his laptop and walked out of the conference room.
"Deputy Director Xiao seems to be very angry."
"How can he not be angry? Sigh, there's no choice. Director Yang is in charge now. Even if he's the eldest son of the Xiao family, there's nothing he can do. "
"However, I'm really worried that if we don't handle 'Valiant Heroes' properly, there will be a big problem."
"Yeah. Xiao Yunhai's fans number in the hundreds of millions. They won't give us any face. "
