Chapter 657 Kerry's Resentment

At seven o'clock in the evening, the three of Xiao Yunhai came to a newly opened steak restaurant.

I heard that there is good red wine in it, so Kerry chose this restaurant with Jesse with the mentality of fighting local tyrants.

Asking for a bottle of Lafite in 1982, Kerry said contentedly, "It's still a fragrant red wine that doesn't cost money."

Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Kerry, you have to pay attention to your words and deeds. Isn't America very particular about being a gentleman?"

Kerry said nonchalantly: "That's purely a pretence, mainly for outsiders to see. There is a saying in China that you are a bastard if you don't take advantage of it. Although I still don't know what a bastard is, but I I still think it makes sense.”

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I really admire you."

Jesse on the side said: "Xiao, the worldwide sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" have been counted, a total of 93.6 million copies."

Kerry asked, "Jesse, tell me, how much does he get out of it?"

Jesse said: "If it is calculated at the current exchange rate, it is almost three hundred and sixty million US dollars."

Kerry said with a face of regret: "I am in a very bad mood when I hear this number. I missed at least two billion because of five million. This is not even the income of the movie. God, I am going crazy. already."

Jesse said: "The four major European publishing houses have called and hope you can hand over the second "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" to them."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Let's wait until the movie of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is over. Kerry, when will our movie be released?"

Kerry said: "It should be around mid-March."

Xiao Yunhai nodded,

Said: "That's great. Hehe, I'm going to publish the next "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" at my own expense."

Jesse said, "Xiao, it looks like you can make a fortune again."

Hearing Jesse's words, Kerry called out with grief and indignation: "Waiter, give me another bottle of 82-year-old Lafite."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Okay, Kerry. You MGM's Dinosaur Contest has taken $4.2 billion in the world, what else do you want?"

Kerry said: "But don't forget, our investment was 800 million US dollars, and it took two years to complete. Your "Fighting Heroes" only invested tens of millions, and it took less than two months to shoot. It got $4.9 billion. How do you compare it. And the Harry Potter series, which is a cornucopia. Once the movie is shown around the world, it will definitely stimulate the sales of your novels. It should exceed 100 million. It's not a problem at all. The next second, third..., God, I did a rough calculation, each Harry Potter, you can make at least 1.5 billion More than US dollars. Oops, my head hurts again when I think about it now."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "No way, who made you not willing to spend five million dollars back then?"

Kerry glared at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao, if you want to talk about this again, I'll break off with you."

Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "Okay, I promise not to talk about it in the future. Kerry, your Hollywood movies are very good in China now, and your domestic movies have been beaten down. To be honest, your eight major theaters are Didn't it have been discussed a long time ago to use this intensive offensive method to compete for our Chinese market?"

Kerry nodded and said: "That's right. We have carefully researched which movie will be released and when it will be released. The purpose is to occupy market share and play our Hollywood momentum. If it weren't for your film and television The bureau's review of films is too strict, and we're afraid we will have more films to show."

Xiao Yunhai said: "For the past month or so, the total box office of our Chinese-made films is less than one-tenth of yours. Kerry, your goal has been achieved."

Kerry said angrily: "What? Xiao, your Huaxia government is too hateful. Seeing that we spent 1.2 trillion to buy Huaxia Cinemas, we promised others to build new cinema chains across the country. This is simply Just kidding."

Xiao Yunhai argued: "Kerry, you can't blame the Huaxia government, you are playing too much. Huaxia Cinemas occupies 60% of the entire market share, and you didn't even leave a soup for Huaxia. It touches the bottom line of the government. Huaxia will never sit back and watch its entertainment industry be gradually eroded by you, do you understand?"

"But we're not breaking the law of business by doing this," Kerry said.

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "The Chinese government agrees to one or two companies to build a new cinema chain.

Kerry said angrily: "You are playing a borderline ball."

Xiao Yunhai said: "That's right. But you can still make a hole if you hit the edge ball well."

Jesse said: "You two, you are arguing here, it's useless. What does the Huaxia government do? It doesn't matter what you said."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That's right. Kerry, you seem very excited, why?"

Kerry sighed: "Do you know how much we paid to get Huaxia's theaters? The eight major Hollywood film companies have almost drained all their liquidity, plus the volatility of the economic crisis continues, we have to make money for continuous filming. It's gone."

Xiao Yunhai said in surprise: "That's not right. I think you guys are very happy. Every company has several movies being shot."

Kerry smiled bitterly: "We have already mortgaged our Huaxia Cinema shares to the bank. The more than 400 billion shares have only been lent out to 160 billion, and the average company is only 20 billion. I rely on you, you are so foolish. "

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "It's your own fault. In terms of financial resources, the big companies in our country are no worse than you, but why don't they fight? It's not because that part of the theater chain is not worth the price, so they gave up. You spent more than 400 billion yuan to buy a theater chain worth 200 billion yuan. In our Chinese words, you are taking advantage of it."

Kerry said: "We don't have a choice. Forget it, let's not talk about it. I can tell you whether your "Infernal Affairs" needs to use our Huaxia theater chain."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Thank you. However, I have already found Starlight Cinema and signed a contract."

Kerry said: "That would be a pity. I had a hunch that this movie would be a hit."

Xiao Yunhai said: "That's for sure."

Three days later, "Infernal Affairs" passed the review. Xiao Yunhai didn't waste any time, and immediately uploaded the trailer to major video sites. Those famous portal sites were also in the most prominent positions, and successively released "Infernal Affairs". release information.

At the same time, Xiao Yunhai asked Jesse to help print 100,000 posters, which were posted in bookstores all over the United States.

These publicity expenses cost Xiao Yunhai 120 million US dollars.

Of course, the results are also very good.
