Chapter 584 Buying a Villa

When we got back to the hotel by car, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Xiao Yunhai turned on the hotel's computer, found the Rotten Tomatoes website, and looked at the scores given to the film by the first audience.

The bright red score of 8.9 gave Xiao Yunhai a sigh of relief.

You must know that American movie fans are very harsh on the evaluation of the movie, maybe because the appetite raised by countless movies is too difficult, so it is very difficult to get their praise. From the beginning of the year to the present, there have only been four Hollywood movies with a score of 8 or more. Even "Interstellar", which was originally against Xiao Yunhai, only got a score of 7.4.

Of course, the 8.9 is just the starting point for the film, and it's impossible to keep that score over time. But it is the first time that a pure Chinese Kung Fu film can get such a score.

Zhao Wanqing looked at the tens of thousands of posts on the computer, and said happily: "Husband, look at it, the fans basically praise your movies."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Look, with the good reputation that follows, "Heroes of Heroes" will definitely become more and more successful. Wife, let's rest quickly, and we will go to the house tomorrow."

Zhao Wanqing nodded, washed briefly, and then fell into bed with Xiao Yunhai.

At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing sat in Kerry's car and drove to the manor villa that he had introduced to him.

Kerry said to Xiao Yunhai with a smile: "Xiao, last night, there were four screenings of "Heroes of Heroes" in total. Do you know how much the final box office was?"

Xiao Yunhai rolled his eyes and said, "Kerry, your memory doesn't seem to be very good? You just told you yesterday that I'm not interested in guessing puzzles."

Kerry said: "I forgot about this. Xiao, I have good news and bad news. I don't know which one you should listen to first?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I like bitterness before sweetness.

Let's start with the bad news. "

Kerry said: "The bad news is that your movie will soon have a formidable opponent. On August 24th, 20th Century Fox's $600 million action blockbuster "Doomsday" will premiere. This time they only Hollywood action superstars have invited four, all worth more than 30 million, the heroine is the so-called sexy queen Mai Jiali, plus this year's heavyweight gold belt boxing champion Kesen, and Muay Thai champion Ba Song Chalumpong, huh, huh , This lineup is much stronger than you. The slogan they shouted is that the North American box office has exceeded 2 billion US dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 4 billion US dollars. Brother, do you feel okay now?"

Xiao Yunhai patted his forehead and said, "The blood pressure is a little high now. You better hurry up and say the good news and lower my blood pressure."

Kerry laughed and said, "I thought you weren't afraid of anything. The good news is that "Heroes of Heroes" is really popular, and it earned a total of $16.7 million at the box office after four games."

When Xiao Yunhai heard this, he sneered and said, "Are you joking? Converting 16.7 million US dollars into Huaxia currency is 50 million, do you think it is high? You know the price of a ticket here is Three times as many as Huaxia, I don't really feel happy about it."

Kerry said: "Xiao, the national conditions of the United States and China are different, and the box office can't explain anything. I will tell you a number first, and you will understand. Among the four movies, the first two movies have an attendance rate of 100% respectively. Of the 54 and 62 percent, the third session increased to 71 percent, and by the midnight session, the attendance rate not only did not drop, but surpassed the previous three games, reaching 85 percent. Xiao, do you know what that means?"

Zhao Wanqing said: "Kerry, do you mean that "Heroes of Heroes" has a good reputation, so it has attracted many fans to the cinema."

Kerry snapped his fingers and said excitedly: "The answer is absolutely correct. On Rotten Tomatoes, "Fighting Heroes" scored 8.76 points, you must know that this is a score that can only be obtained for an excellent film. A five-star film review by the American Film Critics Association Cologne Mackoff, who also went to the movies yesterday, wrote it himself when he got home, and wrote a review of "Heroes of Heroes" on his homepage. He did not spare any praise in the article, and finally gave you Scored 8.4 points. Cologne Mackoff has a very high status in the hearts of movie fans. As soon as the movie review came out, all forums on the Internet were reposting it, and the number of hits alone reached more than 30 million. Xiao, yours "Fighting Heroes" was a success."

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Kerry, what kind of news should this good news and the last bad news add up to?"

Kerry shrugged and said: "It means that as long as "Fighting Heroes" can withstand the pressure of "Doomsday Game", it will definitely make a lot of money. Of course, if you can't stand it, you can only be considered unlucky. ."

Xiao Yunhai said: "After talking for a long time, it turned out to be nonsense."

Kerry said: "In order to make more money at the box office before the release of "Doomsday Game", we have adjusted the amount of "Fighting Heroes" at MGM, and I mentioned 25% to you at once. Pyra It seems that Mongolia and Colombia have also increased the number of films, and I don't know how much."

Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Kerry, when you hear this news, do you think I should cry or laugh."

Kerry said gloatingly: "Then do what you want."

Xiao Yunhai's hotel and villa are more than 30 miles away. If they were in Yanjing, it would take at least two hours to arrive. In Los Angeles, it only took more than 20 minutes.

This also shows from the side how serious the traffic jam in Yanjing is.

The car stopped steadily in front of the gate of a villa, and a man who looked like a housekeeper was waiting for them at the gate.

Kerry introduced to Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing: "This is Joseph, Saar's British butler. If you buy a manor, you'd better hire an English butler. Their professional ethics are the best."

After seeing Kerry and the others getting out of the car, Joseph immediately greeted him and said politely, "Dear Sir and Madam, Mr. Sal has been waiting for a long time, please come with me."

After getting on a tour bus, the three walked around the manor.

Looking at the clear pool, green grass, beautiful garden, full of European Renaissance buildings, everyone seems to have entered another time and space.

Xiao Yunhai said to Zhao Wanqing in Chinese: "What do you think of this place?"

Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "It's very nice. I like the environment here. When we hold a wedding some time later, we can have a large grassy area."

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "I like it too. It is impossible for us to buy this kind of manor in Huaxia. If there is no problem in the villa, let's buy it. Okay?"

Zhao Wanqing said: "Is it a little too expensive?"

Kerry teased: "You earn billions of dollars a year, and it's not too much to buy a villa like this. Beautiful lady, you should learn to enjoy life."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "Kerry, it's been so long, what you said fits my heart the most."

The two laughed out loud.

Joseph in front was confused and didn't understand anything.

Under the guidance of Joseph, the three entered the villa.

In the huge and bright living room, a handsome and handsome man in his thirties was sitting on the sofa reading a book. There was a cup of coffee on the table. Xiao Yunhai guessed that this man should be the owner of the villa, Thrall.

Sure enough, when Kerry saw the other party, he was very happy and said, "Saar, long time no see."

Thrall put down the book, stood up, hugged Kerry tightly, and said, "Kerry, I haven't seen you for a few months, I feel like you are getting younger and younger."

"Wrong, I've always been young. Come, let me introduce you, this is my good brother Yunhai Xiao, and this beautiful lady next to him is his wife Wanqing Zhao."

"Mr. Xiao, Ms. Zhao, it's a pleasure to meet you. In your Chinese language, you are really talented and beautiful."

Thrall shook hands with the two of them respectively, and suddenly said an authentic Chinese language.

Xiao Yunhai said in surprise: "Mr. Sal is very familiar with the Chinese language? Mandarin is better than me."

Thrall asked everyone to sit down and said: "Mr. Xiao has won the prize. I have studied in China for several years, and I have some language talents, so I can be fluent in Chinese. Mr. Xiao, I don't know what you think of me. What do you think of this manor house?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "Can we talk about it later? After all, this is a big business worth over 100 million yuan. My wife and I want to look everywhere."

Thrall nodded and said, "Of course there is no problem. Joseph, take the two distinguished guests around and take a good look."

Joseph said: "Okay, sir."
