Xiao Yunhai's heart skipped a beat. He had more or less guessed Li Xuyang's intentions.
The movie 'Jing Ke Assassinates Qin' was a collaboration between Huafeng International Studios and State Preceptor Mo Kaixuan. It was said that it was also aimed at the international market.
Xiao Yunhai knew very well that if he wanted to release a domestic movie in North American cinemas, the harsh conditions of those foreign capitalists would be enough to make the distributor collapse. That was why Li Xuyang chose him.
"Mr. Li, do you want to release 'Jing Ke Assassinates Qin' in North American cinemas?"
Li Xuyang said, "That's right. Back then, 'Xiao Cui' became popular all over the world because of Mr. Xiao's help. Our 'Jing Ke Assassinates Qin' also wants to take a look. What do you think, Mr. Xiao? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "This is a good thing. I'm very happy that Hua Xia movies can enter the international film industry and promote our traditional culture. Since this movie is directed by State Preceptor Mo Kaixuan, I believe that the quality shouldn't be a problem. It's just that it's hard to say if it's suitable for foreign fans. According to my agreement with those cinemas, I have the right to screen 12 movies every year. So far, I've only helped 'Xiao Cui' to screen in North America. There are still 11 movies that haven't been settled. I've already set the price. You can either give me 100 million Hua Xia dollars directly or give me 10% of the movie's profits. Mr. Li, which do you want to choose? "
Li Xuyang thought for a moment and said, "I choose 100 million Hua Xia dollars."
Xiao Yunhai was taken aback. He chuckled and said, "Looks like Mr. Li is very confident in Director Mo's movie. Okay, no problem. "
Li Xuyang asked, "Then what about the publicity, scheduling, and number of screenings? What's the percentage of profits? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "For the first three days, the number of screenings will be no less than 30%. This is equivalent to a protection period. If the results are good and the attendance is high, the cinemas will increase the number of screenings. On the contrary, if the profits are not ideal, the number of screenings will definitely plummet. For the publicity, you can refer to 'Xiao Cui'. The schedule will be decided by us. As for the profits, it will be completely based on the international box office. "
Li Xuyang clapped his hands and said with a smile, "That's great. Mr. Xiao, thank you so much for forgetting the past and doing us a big favor. In the future, as long as you need our Huafeng International Studios, we will definitely do our best to help. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "While protecting our own interests, we can also promote Hua Xia's movies to the world. Only a fool would refuse such a deal."
Before leaving, Xiao Yunhai gave Li Xuyang the phone number of Daniel, the person in charge of Magic Visual Effects, and told him that Daniel would be in charge of the movie screening to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Li Xuyang thanked him again before leaving Red Cliff with Shen Qiu.
Back at the hotel, Xiao Yunhai called Daniel to inform him to prepare for the screening of Jing Ke Assassinating Qin.
As the days passed, the filming of "Battle of Red Cliff" reached its most intense stage. As long as they finished filming the scene of the burning of the warship, the entire movie would basically be finished. There might be some scenes added later, but those could be completed in a day or two.
In order to achieve the best effect, Xiao Yunhai and Wu Zixu discussed burning an old ship. When everyone heard the news, they were all dumbfounded.
That was because the price of a ship was not cheap. It was at least tens of millions. To everyone, this was not burning a ship at all. It was more appropriate to describe it as burning money.
However, Xiao Yunhai had always spent money like water. Everyone was used to it, so after the shock, they did not feel that anything was wrong.
On the night of August 20th, Xiao Yunhai received a call from Zhao Wanqing.
"Hubby, let me tell you a piece of good news. I went to the hospital today and did a checkup. I'm pregnant."
The moment Zhao Wanqing said that, Xiao Yunhai was dumbfounded.
In his previous life, he had been in the entertainment industry for half of his life. Although he had a few women, they were all just casual couples. None of them were willing to marry him, let alone give birth to a child for him.
After transmigrating to this world, Xiao Yunhai not only became successful, but also gained family and love. Now, he was going to have his own child. How could Xiao Yunhai not be excited?
Thinking of the sadness in his previous life and the happiness in this life, Xiao Yunhai suddenly felt a lump in his throat. He cried and laughed for no reason.
Zhao Wanqing heard Xiao Yunhai's voice and could not help but ask with concern, "Hubby, what's wrong?"
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "I'm so happy. Wife, thank you. Where are you now? I'll go back tomorrow. "
Zhao Wanqing asked, "What about your scenes?"
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "Most of my scenes have been shot. There are only a few war scenes left. I guess it will take until the end of August to shoot. I'll ask Director Wu for a leave and let him be busy for a few more days. After all, he's the director. By the way, are you still going to participate in the Night of Singers? "
Now, the Night of Singers was coming to an end. The last round had just confirmed the 13 singers who would participate in the finals.
In five or six days, the live broadcast of the finals would officially begin.
All the singers, including Zhao Wanqing, were in the midst of their preparations.
Now that he heard that Zhao Wanqing was pregnant, Xiao Yunhai did not want Zhao Wanqing to participate in the competition anymore. He was afraid that she would be tired and it would be bad for the child.
Zhao Wanqing seemed to know what Xiao Yunhai was thinking. She said, "There are only two songs left. I have to finish them no matter what. Don't worry. I'll pay attention during rehearsals. It won't affect the child. Besides, don't I still have you? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Okay, wait for me. I'll go back tomorrow."
After hanging up, Xiao Yunhai did not put down the phone. Instead, he directly called his father, Xiao Changfeng.
"Dad, let me tell you a piece of great news. You're going to be a grandfather."
Even with Xiao Changfeng's steadiness, he was very excited when he heard the news. He kept saying, "Good, very good, very good."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Dad, tell Mom. After I go back tomorrow, our two families will sit together and discuss how to do it. "
Xiao Changfeng said, "Okay, you arrange it."
Chen Xiuzhu, who had just finished taking a shower and walked into the bedroom, saw Xiao Changfeng happily walking in circles. She could not help but ask in surprise, "What made you so excited?"
Xiao Changfeng laughed and said, "Yunhai just called me and said that I'm going to be a grandfather. Do you think I'm happy?"
"What? Wan Qing is pregnant. God, that's great. Being happy is indeed worth being happy. "Chen Xiuzhu was so happy that tears were about to flow out.
Ever since Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing got married, she had always hoped that the two could have a child as soon as possible. It was just that the two of them were too busy with work. Plus, they were both celebrities with countless fans. She was afraid that Zhao Wanqing would refuse to have a child in order to maintain her popularity.
Now that she heard this news, Chen Xiuzhu was truly relieved.
After Xiao Yunhai called Xiao Changfeng, he came to Wu Zixu's room and asked for a week's leave from him.
Not only did Wu Zixu not stop him, he even congratulated him.
That night, Xiao Yunhai and Sima Qian took a plane back to Beijing.
He could not stay a moment longer and wished that he could immediately return to Zhao Wanqing's side and take good care of her.
