Walking into the theater, Xiao Yunhai looked around and saw many familiar faces.
After greeting everyone, Xiao Yunhai sat down in the area where his crew was seated.
"Xiao, my good brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Xiao Yunhai did not need to turn around to know that it was Kree's voice. He stood up and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
Kree smiled and said, "I want to tell you a piece of good news. Today, MGM Grand's stock price did not fall. Instead, it rose by two percent. It's all thanks to you."
Xiao Yunhai was not surprised at all. "That's normal. No matter what, I'm a billionaire. If I can't make MGM Grand's stock price rise, what's the point of me doing here? The most important thing now is to pay back the 90 billion USD you owe. Then, no one or company will be able to deal with you. "
Kree nodded and said, "That's right. Xiao, I really have to thank you this time. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "If you want to thank me, quickly find a reliable director. The third Harry Potter movie has not been settled yet."
Kree smiled and said, "It's already settled. It's just the director for the second movie. What do you think?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Of course it's good. His Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film is very good. I believe that the third movie will be of good quality if he's given it. "
Kree said happily, "Then let's decide tomorrow?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "You can go directly to Daniel. I've already asked him to handle it."
The two of them stood there and chatted as if there was no one else around.
After a while, Ye Yongren, Liang Hui, Huang Qiusheng, and the others arrived.
"It's so sad. I don't even have a single fan here. If I had known, I wouldn't have come, "Huang Qiusheng said indignantly.
The three of them were arranged together by the Oscar committee. When Ye Yongren and Liang Hui left, although the fans did not react very enthusiastically, at least there were screams and applause. But when it came to Huang Qiusheng, neither the reporters nor the fans cared about him. He attracted less attention than Wu Mengshuang beside him.
Xiao Yunhai laughed. "Well, this is the Oscars, not the Golden Goblet Awards."
"That's right. That's why I think it's better for Mr. Xiao to go back early. Otherwise, he'll look bad if he doesn't get the award."
An extremely annoying voice rang out.
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation. When they turned their heads, they saw Hanks and an old man in his sixties with an extraordinary aura standing there.
Huang Qiusheng was about to question the two of them, but before he could open his mouth, he was pulled back by Ye Yongren.
"Old Huang, don't cause trouble. One of them is the person in charge of Paramount, Hanks, and the other is the best commercial director in Hollywood, Hilda Weaver. If we talk to them, we're not on the same level. We'll just be humiliating ourselves. Let Yunhai talk to them," Ye Yongren whispered in Huang Qiusheng's ear.
Huang Qiusheng was shocked. Paramount was one of the biggest companies in Hollywood, and now it was Steer's property. Its strength was many times stronger than the domestic film companies.
Hilda Weaver, on the other hand, was a world-renowned director of commercial films. The movie "War Against the Aliens", which had been ranked first in the box office, was directed by her. Her status in Hollywood was very high.
No matter who he was compared to, Huang Qiusheng was far behind. He could only curse in his heart and step aside.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "So it's Mr. Hanks. It's been a while. How have you been?"
Hanks's expression changed. He said with a fake smile, "Very bad. Today I went to Steer's headquarters to make a report. Because we lost 12 billion US dollars, the board of directors severely criticized us. This is all thanks to you. "
Kree snorted and said, "Our MGM Grand's shares dropped by 30%, and we didn't say anything. It's only 12 billion US dollars. Mr. Hanks, it's better if you don't say it. Otherwise, it won't match the wealth of Steyr Networks. It'll be embarrassing."
Although Steyr was very powerful in the United States, Kree was not afraid at all. They had already shed all pretense of cordiality. There was nothing to hide.
Hanks sneered and said, "So it's Mr. Smith. You should be very lucky to have a friend like Mr. Xiao. Otherwise, your MGM Grand would belong to Steer soon. "
Kree said tit for tat, "I am very lucky. I didn't expect that a person with a bad reputation on Wall Street would come to Hollywood so openly. It seems that our American film industry is really hopeless. "
Hearing Kree's rude words, Hanks was furious and said, "You'd better be more polite. I can tell you clearly that sooner or later, the MGM Grand will be mine. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I don't believe that day will come."
The confrontation between the three made the air in the Dupont Theater seem to have become heavy.
The stars in the theater seemed to have felt something and looked at them in unison.
Naturally, everyone knew that the MGM Grand was almost destroyed in Steer's hands.
Seeing the three of them standing together and talking like knives and swords, they couldn't help but whisper.
Ivan, the great director, said with great interest, "The Smiths hate Hanks to death because MGM almost failed to acquire him. Hanks' plan was disrupted by Kung Fu Xiao, causing him to suffer heavy losses. I'm guessing he's itching to kill him. Hehe, the three sides are gathered together. This is going to be a good show. "
Director Mars next to him said, "Now Mr. Xiao and MGM Grand have joined forces to fight against Paramount. With Xiao's funds and MGM Grand's film production ability, even Paramount, who has Steer as his backer, will have a headache. "
Ivan sighed and said, "I'm afraid there will be many troubles in the future. Now that Wall Street is ambitious and wants to take over Hollywood, Steer is just the first step. There will be countless companies coming in later. It won't be long before Hollywood will no longer be the original Hollywood. "
Mars said, "These aren't things we should worry about. To be honest, I really admire Mr. Xiao. Just because Kree Smith is his friend, he didn't hesitate to offend a giant like Steer. There are almost no such people in Hollywood. "
Ivan nodded and said, "Yes. This might be the loyalty that Hua Xia people talk about. Compared to America, which is full of the smell of money and profits, Hua Xia is obviously more humane. "
Although everyone was whispering there, their eyes were fixed on the three of them.
Hanks's gaze was like a sword, and his aura surged. He said, "Mr. Xiao, are you determined to go against our Steer?"
Xiao Yunhai didn't care about the other party's gaze at all. He smiled and said, "Mr. Hanks, you misunderstand. Steer is one of the largest companies in America, with a market value of 1.8 billion USD. Even if I were stupid, I wouldn't dare to offend you. It's just that my friends are in trouble. Since I have the ability, I naturally have to help them. Mr. Hanks, your Paramount is already big enough. Let go of the MGM Grand. "
Hanks said coldly, "What our Steer does is not something that Mr. Xiao should worry about."
Xiao Yunhai smiled faintly and didn't continue to linger on this topic. Instead, he looked with interest at the old man in his sixties behind Hanks and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the most famous movie director in Hollywood, Mr. Hilda Weaver. Nice to meet you."
Xiao Yunhai reached out his hand politely and wanted to shake hands with him. However, the other party ignored him and didn't have the slightest intention to shake hands with him.
Hilda Weaver pretended to be reserved and asked, "Are you the young director of Hua Xia, Xiao, who filmed Mighty Heroes, Infernal Affairs, and Inception?"
Xiao Yunhai was very displeased in his heart, and his impression of this old man quickly fell from a high mountain to the depths of the sea. He coldly glanced at the other party, and then withdrew his outstretched hand. As if he hadn't heard him, he turned to Chris and said, "Do you know what kind of person I hate the most?"
Kree shook his head and asked, "What kind of people?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "One kind is people who don't have any ability and only know how to talk big. The other kind is people who take advantage of their seniority and always think that they are the best in the world. These two kinds of people are the most annoying. "
Kree laughed and said, "Everyone should hate these two kinds of people."
