Chapter 1019 Confirmed

When he got back to the office, James was already waiting at the door.

Xiao Yunhai said embarrassedly: "Director James, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

James shook hands with him and asked nonchalantly, "I've been waiting for this opportunity for a really long time."

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Then we can have a good talk, please come in."

This James and Harley are completely two extremes, speaking in a low voice, a little slow, but very confident, with light-colored glasses, and a scholar's temperament.

Xiao Yunhai finds it hard to believe that such a person would be called a tyrant on the set by Hollywood.

After the two sides sat down, James asked: "Mr. Xiao, listen to Mr. Lauer, you want to shoot a superhero series of movies. I don't know why you chose me to audition? Hehe, if this is an audition."

Xiao Yunhai said: "One is the recommendation of Director Bikwen, the second is that I watched your previous movies and thought it was very good, and the third is that you don't have a company. We, Marvel Comics, are going to look for some directors and actors."

James raised his eyes and smiled: "You are very frank. I have read almost all the comics of Marvel Comics. Which one do you want me to shoot?"

Xiao Yunhai said, "Captain America or Doctor Strange."

James' eyes lit up and said, "I like Doctor Strange very much. It's just that there are too many supernatural phenomena in it. I'm afraid it will cost a lot to get the best results."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I'm not short of money. Mr. James, this is part of the script of Doctor Strange. After you read it, we can have a good conversation."

James is clear,

This should be considered an exam question, so I read it carefully.

For the next half an hour, James shared his thoughts with Xiao Yunhai, how to choose the scene, how to set up the camera, how to present the picture he wanted, etc. The parts of communication went far beyond the scope of the script.

Apparently he's really familiar with comics, and he's given it some serious thought.

"Another talent. Hollywood is indeed the gathering place of the best filmmakers in the world. It's not enough to describe it as a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. Just two directors have such abilities. Are those film companies blind? "Xiao Yunhai secretly said.

Time passed slowly, and just as the two were chatting more and more speculatively, Harley knocked on the door and walked in with his thick stack of sub-lens scripts.

"James, are you here too?" Harley said in surprise.

James said: "You can come, why can't I come?"

All Xiao Yunhai separated the two because he knew that they had had conflicts over the promotion of the movie, and even scolded them in front of reporters.

Now that times have changed, the two have been quiet at the same time over the years, and when they meet again, there is no scene of confrontation at the beginning.

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "The two of you used to be their own masters. Now that they are in the same company, they are colleagues. The past grievances and grievances will go with the wind."

James said with a wry smile: "In the past few years, one of us has been hidden in the snow, and the other has not even been able to make a movie. What kind of grievances are there to talk about."

Harley heard Xiao Yunhai's overtones, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Mr. Xiao, you mean that I passed the assessment. You promised me to direct X-Men."

James also came back and looked at Xiao Yunhai with a look of hope.

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "You are all so good, how could we, Marvel Comics, let you go. However, we need to sign a five-year contract."

Harley said excitedly: "As long as there is a movie, let alone five years, fifty years will do."

James nodded excitedly.

The two of them are typical Hollywood directors. They have a lot of skills, but they are hidden by Mingzhu. Now that they finally have the opportunity to turn around, they naturally have to firmly grasp it.

Xiao Yunhai said: "Don't worry, you two, I want to tell you one thing. That is, "Doctor Strange" and "X-Men" need to be shot with 3D cameras, so you need to go to my fantasy special effects imaging company to learn. "

James couldn't hide his surprise and asked, "Mr. Xiao, is the 3D movie technology really fully mature?"

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Of course. We have already ordered millions of 3D glasses and 1,000 3D cameras. After "2012" is completed, I will call the bosses of major theater chains to experience the effect. It's time to upgrade the 2D screens in major theaters to 3D screens."

"This time I will invest 3 billion dollars to make four superhero movies at the same time. Not surprisingly, after "2012", 3D movies will sweep the world, but they are not ready, so there will be a long blank period. To At that time, your four films were born, and I can't even imagine how much the box office can achieve. My goal is to enter the top ten of the world box office chart with five films including "2012" at the same time. At that time, we Marvel will To be the best film company in the world, no one."

James and Harley were stunned by the future blueprint drawn by Xiao Yunhai, and five films from one company entered the top ten in the world at the same time.

If someone said that before, the two of them would definitely sneer, and maybe beat them up, but what came out of Xiao Yunhai's mouth is very convincing and well-founded, and it is very likely that this goal will be achieved .

James and Harley have been able to make movies for several years, and now they suddenly find that their movies have the opportunity to enter the world box office rankings, which is simply a counterattack for them.

After a while, the two came back to their senses and said at the same time, "Mr. Xiao, I want to sign a contract right away."

Xiao Yunhai chuckled and took out two contracts that had been prepared for a long time.

The two simply read it once, and couldn't wait to sign it.

Xiao Yunhai stretched out his hand, shook hands with the two, and said, "Welcome you two to join our Marvel Comics family. Next, the two tasks are to receive training, study the script, form a crew, and select actors. Shooting movies. But you must pay attention to one problem. If you want to be the hero and heroine of these superheroes, you must agree to join our company. I don’t want to make wedding dresses for others. The other supporting roles don’t matter.

Halley said: "Understood. Mr. Xiao, what is our budget? And I hope the producer can pee in a pot with me."

Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "There are no producers, only financial staff. They are only in charge of the cashier and will not dictate to your shooting. Hollywood likes the producer-centered system, but I think the director is the most important, so we The director is the biggest filmmaker invested by the company. As for the budget, as long as the budget does not exceed one billion US dollars, you can do whatever you want. Magic and Fantasy will fully cooperate with you. I only have one requirement, to improve the quality of the film. 3D technology wants to play a role , the scene must be hot, and it must be visually stunning.”

James and Harley looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

The two of them knew very well that Xiao Yunhai had given all the rights of the crew to him, and if he couldn't make a good movie like this, the two of them should really retire.

At noon, Xiao Yunhai invited the two of them to dinner and talked about the movie. In the afternoon, James and Harley got on the international flight to Yanjing impatiently.

After the two films were finalized, Xiao Yunhai came to the director's union, and it took a whole day to select seven or eight directors who were more suitable in all aspects. As for who to use, we'll have to wait until he gets back from New York to have a good talk with them.

Xiao Shengli deserves to be from a military background. The morning after receiving Xiao Yunhai's call, he selected four pilots with rich flying experience who were about to be discharged from the army.

When they heard that they were going to be pilots for Xiao Yunhai, and the treatment was terrifyingly generous, they all nodded in agreement on the spot.

Worried about what to do after changing jobs? This time it is completely resolved.

The four of them all fly fighter jets, and passenger planes are of course no problem. They only need to go to Boeing for half a day of training to figure out the various instruments and everything will be done.

When Xiao Yunhai and the other stars went to New York, one of them was the one who drove them. The flight was very smooth and hardly felt any shaking.

Kerry gave Xiao Yunhai a thumbs up and said, "Xiao, the driver you're looking for is really awesome."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "They were all soldiers who drove fighter jets before, and each of them drove more than 30,000 kilometers. Can you be awesome? I said, what are you doing following over there?"

Kerry giggled: "Of course, take your new plane and feel it."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Have you resolved the matter of the shares of MGM Cinemas?"

Kerry said: "It's under negotiation. We found a film company that has a good relationship with my father, and we just need to help them release the film in exchange for their full support. It's just that the price has not been negotiated."

Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "Are you asking too much? Tell me the truth, how much is the premium?"

Kerry said softly, "Fifty percent."

Xiao Yunhai directly uttered a foul language: "Damn, you guys are really ruthless."

Kerry giggled: "I estimate that 45% should be fine. In this way, we have sufficient liquidity at MGM."

Xiao Yunhai snorted and said, "Don't forget, quickly repay the loan to me."

Kerry said: "Don't worry, no problem. How did you get the other theaters?"

Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "My business team hasn't given me any news yet. Anyway, except for Paramount, other movie theaters are at most 10% premium, so I don't have much expectation."

Kerry said enviously: "Xiao, you can make more than 40 billion now. God, if I have so much money, it's not crazy."

Xiao Yunhai said angrily, "Forget it."

Coming out of the New York airport, Xiao Yunhai saw at a glance more than a dozen luxury motorcades coming to greet the stars, as well as reporters and movie fans who came to pick them up.
