Chapter 910: Preparing for Spider-Man

Hanks originally thought that two billion dollars should be no problem, but Xiao Yunhai still refused to agree, so he could not help frowning, and asked with some dissatisfaction: "Why? You are not hostile to us like other Hollywood companies, right? ?"

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said: "I am an outsider like Stell, so what kind of hostility does it come from. Mr. Hanks, do you know how much I expect from these two superheroes? I can tell You, just relying on them, I have the confidence to earn back the entire Marvel."

When Hanks heard this, he took a breath and said, "It's impossible."

Xiao Yunhai spent 20 billion dollars to buy Marvel at that time, which can be said to have far exceeded its market value, and now he says that he wants to earn back one Marvel with two of the superheroes, which means "Spider" "Man" and "Superman" can bring him a profit of 20 billion US dollars, no matter how Hanks thinks it is impossible.

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "The facts will prove me right. Mr. Hanks, I will choose a director for the second Spider-Man movie in a while, so I'm sorry to make you come here for nothing."

Hanks took a deep look at Xiao Yunhai, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he said politely, "If that's the case, then I'm bothering you."

Watching Hanks' car slowly leave his field of vision, Xiao Yunhai was thoughtful.

The last glance of the other party did not escape Xiao Yunhai's eyes, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and his good impression of Hanks collapsed in an instant.

"He's a duplicitous guy who hides a knife in his smile."

Xiao Yunhai commented on him in his heart.

After drinking coffee with Hanks, Xiao Yunhai came to an Italian steak restaurant and was invited by Vincent.

I just drank Italian coffee and came to eat Italian steak again. This morning was considered to be on the Italian side.

After discovering that Xiao Yunhai was coming,

Vincent looked at his watch and said, "Xiao, you are ten minutes late, this is not a good habit."

Xiao Yunhai sat unceremoniously opposite Vincent and said, "I just chatted with Paramount's new CEO Hanks for a while, so I wasted time. I apologize to you."

"Hanks?" Hearing the name, Vincent paused and asked, "He came to you? Hehe, obviously he didn't have any good intentions. How do you feel about him?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "General. Do you know him?"

Vincent nodded and said, "That's right. This guy is a bastard, and he's notorious on Wall Street. But he's very capable, otherwise Stell Technology wouldn't have sent him to be the CEO of Paramount. Xiao, you must be careful of him in the future. By the way, what does he have to do with you?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I wanted to spend two billion dollars to buy my movie adaptation rights for Spider-Man and Superman, but I rejected it."

Vincent nodded and said, "Hanks is terrifyingly small-minded, and he will pay for it. I'm afraid you have already put a number on him in his heart."

Xiao Yunhai remembered the look in the eyes of the other party when he was about to leave, and said, "The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. Am I still afraid that he won't succeed? Tell me, what are you looking for?"

Vincent said: "What are you going to do about the promotion of the album?"

"I should ask you about this, right? The company is in charge of this, okay? I only have one request, try not to let me go to any shows and press conferences. This is what bothers me the most."

"Can."

Xiao Yunhai was stunned for a moment, and said, "Can you? You really don't need me to promote it everywhere?

Vincent laughed: "Of course. I thought of a best promotion strategy. That is to put one of your songs on my wonderful music network first and use it to attract fans in the United States. Then tell me to like the song. The fans of yours, your other song of the same quality has been made into a single and will be released in the United States. I believe the results must be good. At the same time, it will hit the Billboard singles chart in the United States. In this three-pronged approach, Bombing on the Internet, TV, and radio, haha, it will be difficult for your album to be popular by then."

Xiao Yunhai snorted and said with a sneer, "At the same time, you can earn extra money with these songs, right?"

Vincent giggled and said: "Of course. With so many good songs, how can we be worthy of us if we don't earn a few more times. Xiao, don't worry, there will definitely be half of yours by then."

Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "It's still the same sentence, you have the final say on the promotion. Since I won't be used, I will return to China in two days."

Vincent said: "Xiao, let me tell you in advance that the songs in your album must be placed on my wonderful music website and cannot be given to others."

Xiao Yunhai said angrily: "Nonsense, I won't give it to anyone. But Huaxia can't do it, I want to keep it for Jiujiu Music Network."

A few days ago, Hu Yaoting called and said that she had acquired 21% of the shares of Jiujiu Music Network with US$22 billion, which was a big bargain.

As a result, Xiao Yunhai owns 20.5% of the shares.

According to the development situation of Jiujiu.com, it is estimated that all the investment will be returned in less than two years.

Vincent smiled: "Of course there is no problem."

After dinner, Xiao Yunhai came to Marvel Comics and met the person in charge, Raul.

"I'm about to start filming the second "Spider-Man", what do you think?" Xiao Yunhai asked while sitting on the boss chair.

Raul's eyes lit up and said, "Boss, if you're going to shoot "Spider-Man", I'm very much in favor."

Xiao Yunhai said: "I watched the first "Spider-Man" before, and my evaluation was only two words rubbish. Originally, the protagonist of this kind of superhero had better be the same person all the time, but the failure last time made me no longer able to Trust him. In my opinion, the actor's performance is really bad."

Raul nodded and said, "Boss, I understand what you mean. I wonder which director you chose to direct this movie?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It's very simple, audition."

After seeing Hanks, Xiao Yunhai suddenly felt that it was time to film these superheroes so as not to be missed by others.

As for the script, Xiao Yunhai just copied the previous Spider-Man movie, but the scene must be bigger.

However, this requires finding a director who best fits the temperament of the script.

"Audition?"

Raul was stunned for a while, his eyes a little puzzled. In his cognition, it has always been actors auditioning, and he has never heard that directors still need to audition.

Xiao Yunhai said: "Hollywood has always been a producer-centered system. Although this system has its advantages, I still think that a film is best left to the director. After all, the director is the one who actually shoots it. People. Therefore, for the films I invest in, I usually never go to the director's crew, because it will disrupt his thinking and cause him a lot of trouble. However, if I want to reassure me, the first one is the director. It has to fit."

"I asked them to audition, and it was actually just a chat and finding a director who had similar ideas to me."

Raul said: "Okay, boss, I'll go to the director's union to release this information. I think there should be many directors interested in Spider-Man. "

In the entertainment industry, the hardest thing to do is not an artist, but a director.

A play can have dozens or even hundreds of actors, but only one director. Of course, co-directing does not count.

If it is said that actors are one in a hundred, then the director is undoubtedly one in a thousand, or even one in a thousand.

This is why directors are paid far more than actors because they pay more.

Superhero blockbusters like "Spider-Man" have a strong mass base in themselves. Anyone who lives in the United States will not know about Spider-Man. Therefore, the probability of success is much greater than that of other types of films, which naturally arouses the interest of Hollywood directors.
