Seeing that Xiao Yunhai did not even answer his question and instead scolded him indirectly with Kree, Hilda Weaver was a little annoyed.
Even though he knew that this was the other party's revenge for not shaking his hand, he still felt very embarrassed. His face was burning as he said, "Young people are really vengeful. You've only filmed two or three good movies, and you're already so arrogant and disrespectful to your seniors. No wonder Hua Xia movies are still not doing well. "
When Xiao Yunhai heard him insulting Hua Xia movies, a surge of anger also rose to the sky. He said, "Our Hua Xia movies are indeed lacking compared to Hollywood. There's no other way, our development time is too short. But even so, all the movie companies in Hollywood still did not hesitate to spend 1.4 billion to buy the original Hua Xia cinema chain. Why is that? Because Hua Xia has a population of 1.5 billion, and its development potential is not inferior to America's. Mr. Weaver, since you look down on Hua Xia, you can totally not release your movie to us. It's okay, it doesn't matter whether you're there or not. There's one more thing I want to tell you. The special effects used in Hollywood today are all developed by my Magic Visual Effects and Dream Special Effects Company. If you really want to have a backbone, don't use our special effects in the future. Just like you said, Hua Xia movies are not good. "
Hilda Weaver said angrily, "You're deliberately twisting my meaning. Hmph, I heard that you filmed a movie called '2012,' which is called the first 3D movie in history. You even threatened to surpass my 'Wars Against Aliens'. You … "
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and interrupted him. He said, "What I'm saying is not only to be number one in the box office, but also to have a box office of more than 15 billion USD."
Hilda Weaver could not help but laugh when he heard that. He looked at Xiao Yunhai with a disdainful gaze and mocked, "Young man, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Young people in the 21st century should dare to think, dare to say, and dare to do. If you don't even dare to think about it or do it, then what future does society have? "
"Well said!" Kree shouted.
Some of the young artists who heard Xiao Yunhai's words also had their eyes lit up. Obviously, Xiao Yunhai had spoken their minds, but they couldn't express it because of Hilda Weaver.
Hanks suddenly laughed and said, "There's no need for the two of you to argue about this. Facts speak louder than words. Mr. Xiao, Mr. Hilda Weaver has just joined our Paramount Film Company. He spent two years filming Resident Evil, and is currently doing post-production for Paramount's special effects company. It will probably be completed around the same time as your 2012. If you're interested, do you dare to compete with us? "
Hilda Weaver was obviously very confident in her movie. She nodded and said, "That's right. It was useless to just talk about it. The most important thing was to see how the box office was doing. Since it's the first 3D movie, it shouldn't be afraid of any challenges. "
"F * ck, she's forcing Kungfu Xiao to compete."
"Hilda Weaver spent two years filming Resident Evil. Just the script alone was changed dozens of times. It could be said that it was meticulously made. It'll be difficult for Xiao to win."
"I don't think so. 2012 is the first 3D movie. The effects should be much better than 2D. It might even beat Resident Evil. "
"Haha, there's a good show to watch. One is the king of commercial films in Hollywood, the other is a super young director who rose in the past two years. The competition between the two will definitely be like Comet Halle crashing into Earth. "
"On the day they set the release date, no director would dare to release a movie at the same time."
"A battle between kings. If the reporters capture this scene, they'll definitely be promoted and get a raise. "
Seeing that Xiao Yunhai didn't say anything, Hanks thought that he didn't have the guts. He said proudly, "If you don't dare to, then forget it. After all, even if Mr. Weaver wins, in the eyes of outsiders, it's just bullying the weak. There's no glory in that. "
Xiao Yunhai suddenly sighed, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that there's really someone who's not afraid of death and dares to touch my 2012. Mr. Hanks, Mr. Weaver, I can tell you responsibly that there's no movie in the world that can compete with my 2012. Mr. Weaver's Resident Evil has been filming for two years. Don't lose miserably in the end because of a moment of anger. "
Xiao Yun Hai's words caused everyone present to exclaim in surprise.
"Kungfu Xiao is too confident."
"No, he's not confident, he's arrogant."
"He's only filmed a few movies, and he dares to boast that there's no movie that can compete with 2012. Haha, he's really young and impetuous. "
Weaver was amused by Xiao Yunhai and said, "Mr. Xiao, you're the most talkative director I've ever seen. Since that's the case, let's set a time to release it all over the world at the same time. We'll decide based on a month's box office. However, since it's a competition, there needs to be a prize. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Indeed, there needs to be a prize. Otherwise, I'm not interested in competing with you at all."
Hanks stretched out two fingers and said, "How about two billion US dollars?"
"Damn, it can't be, two billion US dollars."
"This bet is a bit too big."
"For Xiao and Stel, two billion US dollars is just a drop in the ocean."
"I wonder if Xiao dares to agree?"
"Hua Xia people have always been prideful. Xiao will definitely agree."
Although Liang Hui was the protagonist of 2012, he didn't feel that there was anything special about the movie from the beginning to the end, so he stood up and advised, "Yunhai, don't be impulsive."
Ye Yongren also advised, "That's right. 2012 only took two months to film, but Resident Evil took two years to film. There's really no comparison between the two. Yunhai, don't do something you're not confident in just to compete for a moment's advantage. "
Although Hanks didn't understand Hua Xia, he could tell from their expressions that they were trying to persuade Xiao Yunhai not to participate in the competition. He immediately mocked, "Mr. Xiao, you'd better listen to what your two partners have to say. Otherwise, you'll end up crying in the end."
"Hahaha."
Everyone at the scene couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Yunhai's face turned red, as if he couldn't stand everyone's mockery. He pursed his lips and said, "I'm a billionaire. I can't afford to lose face by betting two billion US dollars with you."
Hanks chuckled and asked calmly, "How much are you going to bet, Mr. Xiao?"
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and stretched out two fingers. There was a hint of slyness in his eyes as he said, "Mr. Hanks, if you want me to accept this round, you'll need at least twenty billion US dollars."
"Boom."
Xiao Yunhai's words immediately caused an uproar in the venue.
"No way. Xiao is crazy. Two billion US dollars is too little. "
"Twenty billion US dollars. Oh my god, this should be the highest bet in the world, right?"
"I think Xiao is using twenty billion US dollars to force Mr. Hanks to give up the bet. After all, Hanks is only the CEO of Paramount. He can't possibly take out twenty billion US dollars. "
"That's right. In this way, Xiao can not only save his face, but also blame the problem on Hanks. It's killing two birds with one stone. "
Even Ye Yongren, Liang Hui, and the others thought that this was Xiao Yunhai's idea. Although they were a little worried, they didn't say anything. They all looked nervously at Hanks, afraid that he would agree.
When Hanks heard that Xiao Yunhai had raised the bet to twenty billion US dollars, he suddenly hesitated.
This was not a small amount. For him, the CEO of Paramount, two billion US dollars was still within his management scope, but twenty billion US dollars was out of the question. That would require his father, David Steele, to agree personally.
A trace of a victorious smile appeared on Xiao Yunhai's face, and he said to Hanks: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have said so much nonsense to you. After all, our positions are not equal. For me, not to mention twenty billion US dollars, even two hundred billion US dollars is no problem for me. But you and Director Weaver obviously don't have the ability. It's indeed beneath my status to bet with you. "
Kree chuckled and said, "Mr. Hanks, Director Weaver, the award ceremony will begin in twenty minutes. Since you two can't take out twenty billion US dollars, please go back. Mr. Xiao and I still have a lot of things to discuss. "
Hanks's face was livid. He said angrily, "Xiao, you don't dare to bet with me at all, right?"
Xiao Yunhai spread his hands and said, "Why wouldn't I dare to bet with my movie that can reach fifteen billion US dollars at the box office? It's just that you don't have the money. There's no other way. I won't play with you if I can't see the check for twenty billion US dollars. I'm a billionaire. I'll feel embarrassed if I only bet two billion US dollars. Kree, don't you think so? "
Kree nodded and said, "That's right. Let me say, if you can't afford to bet, then leave quickly. Don't block others' way here. "
Hanks's eyes were like lightning. He stared coldly into Xiao Yunhai's eyes, as if he wanted to see through him. After a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "Xiao, I'll report to the headquarters now. I hope you don't go back on your word."
Xiao Yunhai narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll only wait until the award ceremony is over. I won't wait until it's over."
Hanks smiled and said, "As you wish. Haha, thank you in advance for your twenty billion US dollars. I'll use it to build a movie theater. "
Xiao Yunhai sneered and said, "You'd better ask quickly, in case you can't take out the money later and embarrass yourself in front of the world's filmmakers."
Hanks snorted and returned to his seat with Weaver.
The stars in the venue realized that there was no more drama to watch, so they all turned their heads.
