Chapter 1731 Status of Star Studio
When we got back to the villa, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
After eating something casually and taking a hot shower, Xiao Yunhai was about to go to bed when the phone suddenly rang.
When he opened it, he saw that it was Zhao Wanqing's phone.
"Wife, I'm about to go to bed. What's the matter?" Xiao Yunhai asked.
Zhao Wanqing asked with a half-smile, "Who are you sleeping with?"
Xiao Yunhai said angrily, "Sleeping in bed, are you satisfied?"
Zhao Wanqing couldn't help laughing and said, "That's the best. Let me ask you something, "Zhu Xian" will be released in Europe and the United States soon. Do you plan to let the film's main creators go to the stage for the premiere?"
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "I asked Raul to invite a lot of people to watch the premiere, but is it necessary for the crew to come?"
Zhao Wanqing said angrily: "Of course there is. Husband, agents like Binglu and Xuewei have politely proposed to the company that they want to go to Europe and the United States to participate in the premiere. The two of us don't care, but for them A very good opportunity to make a name for itself."
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while, and said, "I really haven't considered this level. Well, ask the creators of "Zhu Xian", who would like to come? Let them arrive before May 2."
Zhao Wanqing agreed and said, "If I go, would you welcome me? It won't hinder you, will it?"
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "No. You are here, so I have something to do at night."
Zhao Wanqing still didn't understand Xiao Yunhai's meaning, and scolded with a smile, "You big hooligan. I won't bother you, just rest."
The next day, Xiao Yunhai drove to the company headquarters.
As soon as I got out of the car, I happened to meet David Hartnett and his agent getting out of the car.
"Hi, David, what are you busy with?" Xiao Yunhai waved to the two of them.
Only then did David see Xiao Yunhai, and he quickly walked up to him and said, "Mr. Xiao, long time no see."
The two hugged and talked as they walked.
Xiao Yunhai looked at the thick book in his hand and said, "Is this a script?"
David nodded,
Dao: "That's right. My studio received a good script for a TV drama two days ago, and I plan to buy it. Today, I'll show it to the editorial department. It would be better if the company could invest."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Don't you always make movies? When did you invest in TV dramas?"
David said: "I found that the TV drama market seems to be better than the movie. Although the cycle is a lot longer, it is safe to win. Even if you lose money, it will not lose too much. Once you make money, you will sometimes make more money than movies. ."
Xiao Yunhai said: "That's right. The original "Prison Break" is indeed better than most movies, except for "2012", Marvel really can't compare to it. However, David, I listened to you. Tone, there seems to be something wrong with your studio?"
David smiled bitterly and said, "I'm almost going bankrupt. Mr. Xiao, do you think I'm not suitable for this?"
It turned out that in the second half of last year, David shot three small and medium-budget films in one go. After their release this year, the box office was very mediocre. One even got only $2.1 million and became the joke of the whole Hollywood.
This annoyed David very much.
Since the establishment of the studio, David has lost 300 million US dollars and even sold the villa.
Xiao Yunhai said: "Failure is the mother of success. The lessons of 300 million are relatively few. As for whether it is suitable or not, I don't know."
David said: "If I can be like you, I can succeed in everything."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Apart from filming movies and TV series, what have you seen me do?"
David thought about it, really.
He almost never asks about Xiao Yunhai's company, at most he comes to visit every once in a while. All work is done by the heads of the various departments.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "The most difficult thing for people is to see themselves clearly and position themselves. And I can see this clearly. I am not a business material, and I am not interested in managing a company, so I put the right people in the right people. Positionally, I'm enjoying myself. Wouldn't that be nice?"
After listening to Xiao Yunhai's words, David thoughtfully said, "I'm the best at acting. As for the studio, I don't dare to say."
Xiao Yunhai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't change your goals easily. If you really can't achieve success, then give up as soon as possible. There is a saying in Huaxia, it is said that only if you give up, you will be rewarded."
In Xiao Yunhai's eyes, although this David Hartnett has superb acting skills, his vision is very ordinary, otherwise he would not have cast so many bad movies.
Walking into his office, Xiao Yunhai found that the place was spotless, and it was obvious that someone cleaned it every day.
"Bang bang bang" Xiao Yunhai sat down for a long time when the knock on the door rang.
"Come in."
The door opened, and Raul came in.
"Mr. Xiao, I'll report to you about my work."
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. Let me ask you one thing, is our company's star studio losing a lot of money. I just met David, and his condition doesn't seem to be very good?"
Raul nodded and said: "In our company, apart from directors David and Beekwen, no one has opened a studio anymore. The same is true for other companies. The main reason is that their investment vision is too poor, and big investments are It is wholly owned by a big company, and they don't find them at all, resulting in a huge loss for the star studio. The worst one is the big director Ivan, who thinks he has a good vision, but doesn't want all three films to lose money and lose a full 800 million US dollars . Now I'm making a movie to pay off my debt."
Xiao Yunhai said: "So, the studios of the big Hollywood stars have all closed?"
Raul said with a smile: "More than 90 percent are closed. Only a few have made money, but the investment has also increased.
Plus cautious. "
Xiao Yunhai said: "Hehe, it seems that no one has the potential to be a boss. Okay, tell me, I want to hear about the development of Marvel Comics."
Raul handed a form to Xiao Yunhai, and then continued talking.
It took half an hour for the report to end.
Xiao Yunhai listened very seriously and said, "Raul, you've done a good job, I'm very satisfied. Okay, go ahead and have lunch together."
Raul nodded and was about to go out when he suddenly thought of something and stopped again.
Xiao Yunhai asked suspiciously, "Is there anything else?"
Lauer said: "Mr. Xiao, there is a secret rumor in Hollywood recently that you are the mastermind of the Jason Steer bombing."
When Xiao Yunhai heard it, he was immediately amused, and said, "Is this something that Paramount did? It's ridiculous."
With a solemn expression, Raul said, "Mr. Xiao, you must not take it seriously. Many third-rate newspapers have published it, but they didn't say your name, but who the blame is, everyone in America knows. ."
Xiao Yunhai narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It is impossible for me and the Bessie family to reconcile. It is understandable for Paramount to do such a thing for the sake of its new master. This kind of small trick can't hurt me, but you give me a look. Whoever dares to say that I am the murderer, let the lawyers sue them bankrupt for defamation."
Raul nodded and said, "Okay."
When Raul came out of the office, Xiao Yunhai turned on the computer and read some recent entertainment information.
Sure enough, in some inconspicuous places, there were a lot of speculations about the Jason Steer bombing, and the target was Xiao Yunhai.
Fortunately, there are people who support him everywhere in the comment area, which makes Xiao Yunhai feel a lot more comfortable.
However, the Jason Stell bombing case is really confusing, and until now, no one has found out who the murderer is.
