Zhao Wanqing arrived very quickly. She arrived at 6 pm the next day. Mo Yina and Shen Lingwei came with her.
Xiao Yunhai brought them to the villa. After dinner, he brought the three of them to the recording studio.
Looking at the equipment in the recording studio, Shen Lingwei shook her head and smiled bitterly. "No wonder Wan Qing said you're a wastrel. That's too much. The microphone should be no less than 5 million USD. The console seems to be a new brand that was released last year. It's priced at 10 million USD. And that … Haha, using the current internet slang, it's the world of the rich. We poor people really don't understand. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "Since it's a recording studio that I'm using, of course, it has to be the best. Money can be earned again if it's gone. Wan Qing, aren't you going to sing my song 'Fairy Tale' next week? Why don't you sing it once and try the sound effects? "
Zhao Wanqing nodded and said, "Okay."
After the song ended, Shen Lingwei put down her earphones and exclaimed, "You really get what you pay for. The sound effects produced by good audio equipment are indeed different. It's more delicate and smoother than ordinary equipment. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's why the money wasn't spent in vain. If you want to make an album, using this recording studio is definitely not a problem. "
Zhao Wanqing walked out and smiled. "Not bad. It's very comfortable to sing."
Xiao Yunhai hugged Zhao Wanqing's shoulder and said, "The most important thing is that you're in your own home. Your mood will be very good, and your work efficiency will naturally increase. It's definitely killing two birds with one stone."
Zhao Wanqing snorted and frowned slightly. "Even if you spent a lot of money, it's still quite a lot. You're really willing to part with 30 million USD. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "You can't catch the wolf without sacrificing the rabbit. Don't worry, it's just 30 million USD. It won't be long before I use this recording studio to earn it back for you. "
Zhao Wanqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "You can brag about it after you've done it."
Everyone chatted and laughed for a while before returning to their rooms to rest.
As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, let alone a peerless beauty like Zhao Wanqing.
Xiao Yunhai tormented her for one and a half hours before he finally stopped.
By the time he was done, Zhao Wanqing was already sweating profusely. She was completely exhausted and could only lean into her husband's embrace, allowing his hands to do whatever he wanted to her body.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Honey, let me tell you some good news. This afternoon, our 'Inception' has been reviewed and approved. It won't take long for the movie to be released in America. "
Zhao Wanqing was stunned and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to show it after our new cinema chain is built?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Today is different from the past. I was banned and you were busy with the singing competition. How would we have the time to promote in Hua Xia? So, I'm thinking of releasing it in all cinemas other than Asia first. Once it's famous, we'll return to Hua Xia and Asia. When the time comes, I won't hold a premiere. The media won't broadcast it anyway. Let's just release it directly. How about that? "
Zhao Wanqing thought for a while and said, "Isn't that too risky? Are you sure it'll work? My competition is held once a week. It shouldn't be a problem to do some promotions. "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Forget it. I don't want you to be tired. This movie is my painstaking work. Whether it's the plot or the setting, there are no problems. I'm very confident in it. If it's done well, it's not impossible for the box office to surpass Valiant Heroes. "
Zhao Wanqing asked, "Then when are you planning to release it in North American cinemas?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I've already contacted them. Our cinema chain will officially open on May 10th. I've scheduled the premiere of Inception for May 4th in all the major cinemas in North America. There's a gap of six days, which is when the movie is at its most popular. Haha, this way, it'll definitely become the focus of the media in China. "
Zhao Wanqing said, "Today is April 12th. Are you going to stay here until May 4th?"
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's right. This time, I'm going to promote the movie properly. Oh right, honey, do you want to walk the red carpet at the Oscars? "
When promoting Infernal Affairs, Xiao Yunhai asked Kree to help him apply for the Oscars. Two days ago, the results were out.
Valiant Heroes broke the record by being nominated for three awards. They were Best Action Design, Best Foreign Language Film, and Best Director.
After receiving the list of nominees, Xiao Yunhai was a little dumbfounded. He thought he had seen wrongly.
In his imagination, being nominated for Best Action Design was already very good. As for the rest, it wasn't within his scope of consideration.
Now that there were two more nominations for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director, it was a surprise for Xiao Yunhai.
In fact, the Oscars committee had no choice.
That was because the influence of Valiant Heroes was too great. Not only did it become the box office champion last year, but it also made Hua Xia martial arts popular all over the world. Now, there were Hua Xia martial arts schools all over the United States. There was an endless stream of people wanting to be apprenticed.
If they didn't give an explanation for Valiant Heroes, Xiao Yunhai might not be affected, but the group of martial arts fans would not let them go.
Of course, a nomination was just a nomination. The possibility of winning an award was not high. Especially the Best Director award. Unless the remaining five Hollywood directors collectively gave up, Xiao Yunhai would never have a chance to win it.
As for the news of Valiant Heroes winning three awards, all the major entertainment media outlets in Hua Xia had already known about it. Even the Ministry of Culture's homepage had posted the good news. However, they did not mention Xiao Yunhai's name throughout the article. It couldn't be helped. They were banned. They couldn't go back on their word.
However, the major online forums were not so particular. The netizens were all predicting Xiao Yunhai's chances of winning an award. Some said it would work, while others said it would not. It was noisy and lively.
For the past two days, although Xiao Yunhai was in America, he had not stopped answering calls. They were all calls from his friends in the entertainment industry.
This made him very troubled. Because of the time difference between the two places, sometimes when the calls came, it was already two or three in the morning. Xiao Yunhai was sleeping soundly.
Zhao Wanqing thought for a while and said, "Forget it. I won't go. After all, I didn't act in Valiant Heroes."
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said with a sad face, "Honey, you should come with me. Otherwise, I really can't find anyone. The Oscars committee gave me three invitations. Each invitation can only take two people. Senior Luo Tianxiong is nominated for Best Action Design. He will definitely come. Also, his partner is confirmed to be Lin Lu. I gave the other one to Zhang Xiaojing. His partner was Hui Lin. Haha, the two beauties in the crew have already been booked. Where do you expect me to find anyone? "
"Okay, okay. I agree. Is that not enough?" Zhao Wanqing thought for a while and said, "April 16th. There are still three days until now. The time is not a problem. However, we need to hurry and buy the costumes. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Don't worry. I have already called Haoyu Clothing. They will send a designer over to tailor the costumes for us. "
