The Ministry of Culture's ban on Xiao Yunhai could be said to be a failure. At present, because of the battle in the American music industry, Xiao Yunhai had become the hero of Hua Xia's fans. There were posts talking about him everywhere on the Internet. Although they all used the name Yun Huang, who didn't know that Yun Huang was Xiao Yunhai?
However, the Ministry of Culture had no choice. Yun Huang was just a nickname. They didn't say Xiao Yunhai's name directly, nor did they have his image. The Ministry of Culture couldn't do anything about it. They couldn't ban the netizens, right?
"Director Xiao, the Mayan civilization said that 2012 was the end of the world. How will your movie portray this disaster?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Tsunamis, earthquakes, mudslides, volcanic eruptions, and so on can all be expressed very well. The protagonist of this movie is the disaster. We actors are just supporting characters. In order to bring a shocking effect to everyone, '2012' has 1,800 special effects shots, accounting for more than 50% of the total length of the movie. I used more than 300 special effects artists, modelers, animators, and compositors. Hehe, I will never give up if I don't create a movie that will shock everyone. "
"You once said that you want to rely on '2012' to break the box office record of 'Wars Against Aliens'. How confident are you?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "I'm 100% confident that I can become the world's box office champion. My goal now is to see if the world's first 3D movie can surpass 15 billion USD at the box office. "
"F * ck, no way."
"15 billion USD, is Yun Huang crazy?"
Not to mention the reporters, even Liang Hui, Li Xuanwu, and the others turned to look at Xiao Yunhai in surprise.
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said with a smile, "Do you think I'm bragging? Hehe, it's okay. This is human nature. When you really feel the shock of a 3D movie in the cinema, you will feel that it's not difficult to surpass 15 billion USD at the box office. "
"Director Xiao, when is' 2012 'expected to be completed?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Actually, actors don't have a lot of scenes, including the main character. It wasn't difficult to perform. The difficult part was the post-production of the special effects. For this reason, we have already done a lot of preparatory work in the early stages. Just the green screen studios alone, we have already built seven of them, and the rent is extremely expensive. I think it will take less than a month for the filming to be completed. "
"Mr. Xiao, your song has been number one on the American Singles Chart for ten weeks. Do you have anything to say about that?"
Xiao Yunhai was taken aback, and then said indifferently, "Is that so? I didn't really care. It would be good to break a record, but it didn't matter if it couldn't be broken. If he couldn't do it this time, he would try again next time. Today is the opening press conference of '2012'. Don't ask about anything else. "
After the reporters asked Xiao Yunhai more than ten questions, they turned their attention to the celebrity next to him.
The entire press conference lasted for more than two hours. The questions came one after another. Every superstar had a lot of topics to talk about.
If Xiao Yunhai hadn't forcefully ended the press conference, who knew how long the questions would have lasted.
During lunch, Yu Yuexian asked, "Director Xiao, can the box office of '2012' really exceed 15 billion? Why do I feel like I'm listening to a myth? "
In the crew, Yu Yuexian spoke very appropriately. No matter how close she was to Xiao Yunhai, she still called him Director Xiao.
Li Xuanwu said, "Yes. Not to mention Hua Xia, even in Hollywood, no big director dares to say that his movie can surpass' War Against the Aliens', let alone reach 15 billion dollars at the box office. In my opinion, this is an astronomical figure. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "What I said is true. I'm not joking. It's not impossible to achieve 15 billion US dollars. Even 20 billion US dollars in box office is not impossible. "
"How can it be?"
"It's unbelievable."
Everyone found it hard to accept when they heard that a movie's box office could reach 20 billion.
Xiao Yunhai put down his chopsticks and said, "Let's do some calculations. '2012' is the first 3D movie in the world's film history. The ticket price will be three times that of an ordinary movie. 'War Against the Aliens' box office is 6.2 billion dollars. As long as the number of fans who go to the theaters of '2012' is the same, 15 billion dollars or even 20 billion dollars will not be out of our reach. "
Liang Hui looked at the confident Xiao Yunhai and asked, "Can you guarantee that everyone will go to see the 3D movie?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Teacher Liang, if you're a movie fan, you can experience the collapse of cities, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and other disasters by spending a few more dollars. Would you be willing to go?"
Liang Hui said, "Of course. Can 3D really do that? "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "The 3D technology in the past was not mature at all. After the research of our Magic City, Dream Studio, and Tsinghua University, we have achieved this point perfectly. Everyone, '2012' will create a new era for movies. Our names may appear in the world's film history. So please cherish this opportunity and make this movie well. "
After hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, everyone was energized and nodded in unison.
'2012' officially started shooting in Shanghai.
Because the molds for the movie were not finished, Xiao Yunhai planned to shoot all the real scenes first. Then, he would go to the big green screen studio in Hengdian Studio to shoot the special effects scenes.
From the 12th to the 27th of January, Xiao Yunhai took the crew to many cities around the world to shoot scenes. Finally, they came to New York in the United States.
As soon as they came out of the airport, the American reporters who had already known about the news surrounded Xiao Yunhai. They put their long and short barrels in front of Xiao Yunhai's mouth and asked him all kinds of questions. However, they didn't care about the other actors. They even ignored the veteran American actor Mick.
Everyone was outstanding in the entertainment industry. They had never been treated like this. They all shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
It could not be helped. Xiao Yunhai defeated all the musicians in the United States yesterday and broke the record of the King of Rock and Roll.
That's right. It had been three months since the release of the first song, "Billie Jean," until today.
For a full 13 weeks, Xiao Yunhai used the songs of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley in his previous life to sit firmly at the top of the singles chart. He achieved the most dazzling results in the North American music industry. And the miracle was still continuing because two of his nine songs had not been released.
Last night, Vincent shouted excitedly on the phone to Xiao Yunhai.
The reason why he persuaded Xiao Yunhai to use this way of promotion was just to sell a few more singles.
Although he thought that Xiao Yunhai's songs were very good, he did not expect to achieve such results.
In fact, Vincent did not release a single after the fifth song, because some fans expressed strong dissatisfaction with the way he used Xiao Yunhai's songs to make money. Vincent was worried that there would be problems if it continued, so he stopped.
However, he was very satisfied. Xiao Yunhai's album had not been officially released yet, but the profit had reached 440 million.
According to the 5: 5 distribution agreement with Xiao Yunhai, he could get 220 million dollars from it. He made a lot of money, which made many music companies envious.
