The sales of Battle of Red Cliffs and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets made Xiao Yunhai very happy. Naturally, he had to hold a big celebration party.
Xiao Yunhai didn't need to ask about the celebration party for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. He just asked Kree to be generous to the crew.
And he needed to host Battle of Red Cliffs.
There were many actors in Battle of Red Cliffs and they were all big names. Of course, Xiao Yunhai couldn't be biased. In just the red packet that night, he gave out 100 million yuan.
In front of the media, he also donated 200 million yuan to Yun Qing's Bursary Foundation in the name of the crew of Battle of Red Cliffs. In addition to the 1.4 billion yuan from Xiao Yunhai's live stream and the 300 million yuan from the English album, it added up to 2 billion yuan.
In just one year, Xiao Yunhai donated 2 billion yuan to the Hua Xia Red Cross Society.
When the news spread, it caused a huge uproar.
"Damn, Yun Huang is so generous."
"Donating 2 billion yuan a year. Only a fool like Yun Huang would do that."
"That's right. But in my eyes, he's so silly that he's cute. "
"If Hua Xia could have a few more fools like Yun Huang, then the poor people in Hua Xia would be blessed."
"In order to support my idol, I just donated 10,000 yuan to Yun Qing's Bursary Foundation. Consider it my sincerity."
"The commenter above is so virtuous. I'll donate tomorrow too."
Under the lead of Xiao Yunhai, his fans started a donation craze again. In just three days, the Red Cross Society received donations from all directions. The total amount exceeded 12 billion yuan.
The Red Cross Society showed the list of donors. Good lord, none of them donated 100 yuan. The number of people who donated reached 8.3 million.
Because there were so many people, the list only announced those who donated more than 10,000 yuan. For this, the Red Cross Society held a press conference to apologize to those who donated but couldn't appear on the list.
At the same time, they reported the results of the Yun Qing Charity Foundation.
Since the day of its establishment, the Foundation had built 5,360 primary and secondary schools in poor mountainous areas all over the country. Basically, it had reached the goal that all children in Hua Xia could go to school. Three hundred and forty-two nursing homes were built throughout the country, allowing countless people who had difficulties in life to have something to rely on in their old age.
In addition, in the second half of 2000, more than 25,230 students from poor families were sponsored.
In just over a year, they had spent a total of 63.2 billion in donations.
The numbers announced by the Red Cross once again caused a strong shock in society. Countless netizens praised the good deeds done by the Yun Qing Charity Foundation. The news broadcast even used six minutes to broadcast this matter.
Seeing the spacious and bright classrooms and the elegant nursing home, hearing the sound of children reading and the laughter of the elderly, the whole of Hua Xia was filled with positive energy.
Even Xiao Chongyang, who was busy with work, rarely came to the villa for a meal. He praised Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing greatly.
On March 12th, "Transformers" was shown to children on Anhui TV Station.
Because of the early stage, Xiao Yunhai did not care about the cost of publicity on the Internet, TV, and media, the ratings of the premiere directly reached 12%. Without any suspense, it beat all the cartoons in Hua Xia.
At the same time, the first batch of 500,000 sets of "Transformers" toys also entered the market. It won the crazy popularity of children and became the most popular toy at the time.
The "Transformers" comic, which had not sold for several months, sold 1.2 million copies in less than three days after the cartoon aired. This made Hua Mingquan of Sunshine Publishing House very happy. He ordered the printing house to print more copies 24 hours a day.
This caused Xiao Yunling to be overjoyed.
Xiao Yunhai promised to give her all the income from the "Transformers" comic in Hua Xia. At first, she thought it was over. The sales of only tens of thousands of copies were not enough to pay the salaries of her classmates.
She did not expect that two months later, it would become so popular.
Every night, Xiao Yunling was like a little money grubber. She tapped on the calculator to calculate her income.
A week later, the first profit of the comic was transferred to Xiao Yunling's bank card.
Xiao Yunling checked and found that there was 7.3 million.
Unfortunately, before she could be happy for long, the bank card was taken away by Chen Xiuzhu.
The last month could be said to be Xiao Yunhai's lucky month.
As of March 20th, "Harry Potter" had earned 5.2 billion USD in the global box office. It successfully stepped on Xiao Yunhai's "Valiant Heroes" and reached fifth place in the global box office rankings.
"Battle of Red Cliffs" had reached the end stage. It had earned 7.8 billion Hua Xia yuan in Asia, which was 3.1 billion USD.
If it could earn 1.5 billion USD in the European and American regions, it would also enter the top ten in the world.
This made Wu Zixu very excited. On March 12th, he flew to Hollywood and invited many filmmakers who were familiar with Hua Xia and European culture to help with the post-production.
The ratings of "Transformers" reached 20%. There was an endless stream of businessmen who went to Anhui TV to discuss advertising.
However, more than 90% of the audience were children with no income. Therefore, the advertising fee was not high. It was only 25,000 USD per second.
Even so, Xiao Yunhai could earn 200 million USD. Not to mention, there were other factors.
Other than his work, there was also good news from Hollywood.
"Infernal Affairs" was nominated for Best Director, Best Film, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, and Best Editing. What made people even happier was that Xiao Yunhai and Ye Yongren were both nominated for Best Actor. Liang Hui and Huang Qiusheng were both nominated for Best Supporting Actor. This was the first time in the world of film.
Other than that, "Inception" also shone brightly. It was nominated for Best Screenplay, Best Visual Effects, Best Action Design, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Director, and Best Film.
What was interesting was that Jiao Fangtao's "Xiao Cui" also achieved good results. It was nominated for the same awards as "Inception". It was also nominated for Best Screenplay, Best Visual Effects, Best Action Design, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Director, and Best Film.
When the news spread to China, the entire entertainment industry went crazy.
"Emperor Yun is simply too awesome. With just two films, he has been nominated for 14 Oscars. Let alone domestically, this is unprecedented even overseas."
"Good luck, Yun Huang. Try to get all 14 awards."
"Are you stupid? Infernal Affairs and Inception have the same nominations. How can he get 14? "
"Can everyone focus on Jiao Fangtao's" Xiao Cui "? It's not strange that Yun Huang is nominated for an Oscar. Xiao Cui getting six nominations is something to be happy about. This means that Hua Xia movies are rising. "
"This is the first time in the history of Hua Xia movies that our own people are competing against each other at the Oscar ceremony."
"Good luck, Yun Huang. Jiao Fangtao."
After the list of Oscar winners was announced, Xiao Yunhai received countless congratulatory calls for the entire afternoon. His phone ran out of battery.
Zhao Wanqing saw her husband's depressed look and laughed. "Other people are so happy that they can't wait to tell the whole world that they are nominated for an Oscar. You, on the other hand, are pulling a long face. It's so ugly. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Honey, I realized that my level is much higher. I'm not interested in these so-called awards. Even the Oscars can't make me excited. Do you think I'm crazy? "
Xiao Yunhai was not deliberately showing off. He was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
When he saw the list of nominees, Xiao Yunhai did not feel happy at all. It was as if it was as normal as eating and drinking.
Logically speaking, he had only won a few awards last year. When he saw so many nominations, he should be very excited. But the reality was the opposite. For some reason, his heart was as calm as the surface of a lake.
Zhao Wanqing understood Xiao Yunhai's mentality very well. She said, "That's because your status and achievements in the entertainment industry are not something that an Oscar can recognize. Usually, when an artist gets an Oscar, not only will his fame increase, but it will also double his value, achieving the effect of fame and fortune. But now, you are standing at the peak of the entertainment industry. Even if you get all the Oscars, it won't affect you much. So, it doesn't matter to you whether you get an award or not. Naturally, it won't make you excited. "
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "Maybe."
Zhao Wanqing said, "Let's not worry about the Oscars for now. While you were on the phone in the afternoon, I received a notification from Sister Mo. The day after tomorrow, the first Golden Bottle International Film Festival will open. The jury wants to invite you to sing a song on stage. Sister Mo asked if you want to do it. "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "No, I don't have time."
