Hanks originally thought that two billion dollars should not be a problem, but he did not expect that Xiao Yunhai still did not agree. He could not help but frown and ask with some dissatisfaction, "Why? You are not hostile to us like other Hollywood companies, are you? "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "I am the same as Steer. We are both outsiders. How can we be hostile? Mr. Hanks, do you know how much I expect from these two Superheroes? I can tell you that with just them, I am confident that I can earn back all of Marvel. "
When Hanks heard this, he suddenly gasped and said, "That's impossible."
Xiao Yunhai bought Marvel for 20 billion dollars, which can be said to have far exceeded its market value. Now he said that he could earn back Marvel with the two Superheroes, which means that "Spiderman" and "Superman" can bring him 20 billion dollars in profit. Hanks felt that it was impossible.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Facts will prove that I am right. Mr. Hanks, in a while, I will be choosing a director for the second "Spiderman" movie, so I'm sorry to have made you come here in vain. "
Hanks took a deep look at Xiao Yunhai, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he said politely, "In that case, I will disturb you."
Looking at Hanks's car slowly leaving his sight, Xiao Yunhai was deep in thought.
The other party's last look did not escape Xiao Yunhai's eyes, which made him feel very uncomfortable. His good impression of Hanks collapsed in an instant.
"This is a guy who is two-faced and hiding a knife in his smile."
Xiao Yunhai evaluated him in his heart.
After drinking coffee with Hanks, Xiao Yunhai went to an Italian steak restaurant. Vincent invited him.
He had just drunk Italian coffee and then came to eat Italian steak. This morning, he was going against Italy.
When he saw Xiao Yunhai coming, Vincent looked at his watch and said, "Xiao, you are ten minutes late. This is not a good habit."
Xiao Yunhai sat opposite Vincent and said, "I just chatted with the new CEO of Paramount, Hanks, for a while, so I apologize for the delay."
"Hanks?" Vincent paused when he heard the name and asked, "He came to see you? Haha, he obviously has no good intentions. How do you feel about him? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "So-so. Do you know him? "
Vincent nodded and said, "That's right. This guy is a b * stard who is notorious on Wall Street. But he is very capable. Otherwise, Steer Technology Company would not send him to be the CEO of Paramount. Xiao, you, you have to be careful. By the way, why did he look for you? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "He wanted to buy the movie adaptation rights of my Spiderman and Superman for two billion USD, but I rejected him."
Vincent nodded and said, "Hanks is terrifyingly petty and vengeful. I'm afraid you have already been marked in his heart."
Xiao Yunhai thought of the look in the other party's eyes before he left and said, "I'll deal with whatever comes my way. Why would I be afraid of him? Tell me, why are you looking for me? "
Vincent said, "What do you plan to do about the promotion of the album?"
"I should ask you about this, right? The company is in charge of this, okay? I only have one request. Try not to let me participate in any programs or press conferences. This is what I hate the most. "
"Okay."
Xiao Yunhai was stunned and said, "Okay? You really don't need me to promote it?
Vincent smiled and said, "Of course. I thought of the best publicity strategy. That is to put one of your songs on my wonderful music website and use it to attract fans in America. Then tell the fans who like this song that your other song has been made into a single and will be released in America. I believe the results will be good. At the same time, it will hit the American Billboard Singles Chart. With this three-pronged approach, it will be bombarded on the Internet, TV, and radio. Haha, it will be hard for your album not to become popular. "
Xiao Yunhai snorted and sneered. "At the same time, you can also use these songs to earn extra money, right?"
Vincent smiled and said, "Of course. There are so many good songs. If we don't earn a few more times, how can we be worthy of it? Xiao, don't worry, half of it will be yours. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "It's still the same. You have the final say on the promotion. Since you don't need me, I will return to Hua Xia in two days. "
Vincent said, "Xiao, let me tell you in advance. The songs in your album must be put on my wonderful music website. You can't give it to others."
Xiao Yunhai said angrily, "Nonsense, who else can I give it to? But I can't give it to Hua Xia. I have to keep it for Jiujiu Music website. "
A few days ago, Hu Yaoting called and said that she got 21% of the shares of Jiujiu Music website for 22 billion dollars. It was a big bargain.
As a result, Xiao Yunhai had 20.5% of the shares.
According to the development of Jiujiu Music website, it was estimated that all the investment would be made back in less than two years.
Vincent smiled and said, "Of course, no problem."
After dinner, Xiao Yunhai went to Marvel Comics and met the person in charge, Raúl.
"I'm going to start shooting the second Spiderman. What do you think?" Xiao Yunhai sat in the boss' chair and asked.
Raúl's eyes lit up and said, "Boss, if you're going to shoot Spiderman, I'm very much in favor of it."
Xiao Yunhai said, "I watched the first Spiderman before, and my evaluation was only one word: trash. Originally, the protagonist of this kind of superhero should always be the same person, but the failure last time made me unable to trust him. In my opinion, this actor's performance is too bad. "
Raúl nodded and said, "Boss, I understand what you mean. I wonder who you'll choose to direct this movie? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It's very simple. Audition."
After seeing Hanks, Xiao Yunhai suddenly felt that it was time to shoot these superheroes to prevent others from thinking about them.
As for the script, Xiao Yunhai could just copy the Spiderman movie from his previous life, but the scene would definitely be bigger.
However, he needed to find a director who was most compatible with the temperament of the script.
"Audition?"
Raúl was stunned, and there was a puzzled look in his eyes. In his knowledge, it had always been actors who auditioned, and he had never heard of a director who needed to audition.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Hollywood has always been a producer centered system. Although this system has its advantages, I still think that it's best to let the director have the final say in a movie. After all, the director is the one who is actually shooting it. Therefore, for the movies that I invest in, I usually don't tell the director what to do because it will disrupt his thinking and cause him a lot of trouble. However, if you want me to be at ease, the first thing is that the director has to be suitable. "
"I asked them to come for the audition, in fact, just to chat and find a director who has the same idea as me."
Raúl said, "Okay, boss. I'll go to the Directors' Guild to release this information. I think there should be a lot of directors who are interested in Spiderman. "
In the entertainment industry, the hardest thing to do was not the artists, but the directors.
A movie could have dozens or even hundreds of actors in it, but there was only one director. Of course, co-directors did not count.
If the actors were one in a hundred, then the directors were undoubtedly one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand.
This was also why the director's salary was much higher than the actor's. It was because they put in more effort.
Superhero blockbusters like "Spiderman" have a strong mass base. Anyone who lives in the United States doesn't know about Spiderman. Therefore, the success rate of this movie was much higher than other genres, and it naturally attracted the interest of Hollywood directors.
