Chapter 968: Going to Hollywood

Chen Jiahong and Chen Zhan's family only stayed for one night, and Xiao Yunhai sent them to Yanjing Airport the next day and returned to Nanjing.

The third issue of "Millionaire" was signed to Anhui Satellite TV. Xiao Yunhai estimated that Mango Channel was about to come to discuss the issues of "Run, Brother" and "The Voice of China".

Sure enough, the day after Chen Zhan left, several representatives of Mango Channel, led by a deputy director, came to Yanjing.

Xiao Yunhai invited them to a lunch and signed the contract at the banquet.

As a result, at least another 3 billion will be earned this year.

That night, Xiao Yunhai simply packed his things, and then flew to Los Angeles with Jiao Fangtao, Liang Hui, and a group of more than 30 people.

On the plane, Xiao Yunhai looked at Jiao Fangtao and asked, "Director Jiao, how much assurance do you have of winning awards when you go to Hollywood this time?"

Jiao Fangtao said with a smile: "To use an Internet catchphrase, I'm just a soy saucer. I didn't even think about winning the award. I think your "Infernal Affairs" is very promising."

Xiao Yunhai took a sip of tea, shook his head, and said, "My subordinates reported to me that many Hollywood companies have done a lot of work in private for the Oscars. I'm worried that we will go back with a duck egg. ."

Liang Hui next to him said in surprise: "Yunhai, since you know it, why don't you go to the event? With your status and status, the Oscar judges will give you some face anyway. At least it won't be too biased."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I don't want the golden trophy I got to have dust on it. If that's the case, I'd rather not."

Huang Qiusheng gave Xiao Yunhai a thumbs up and said with a smile, "That's a good point. Winning the award is based on real strength. What's the matter with going through the back door?"

Liang Hui smiled bitterly: "I didn't let Yunhai go through the back door,

Just wish there was a level playing field. "

Xiao Yunhai said: "Mr. Liang, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I don't think they would dare to go too far. After all, the box office results of "Infernal Affairs", "Inception" and "Xiao Cui" There. In terms of influence, there are only a few films that can be compared with us, and they are all outright commercial films. The Oscar Organizing Committee will never dare to take the risk of the world and impose tricks on us. "

Ye Yongren asked, "What if they really didn't give us an award?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "I believe not. Of course, if this happens, I will let the Oscar Organizing Committee eat and go."

Jiao Fangtao praised: "If you dare to say such domineering words to Oscar, you will be the only one in China."

The time was spent in the chatting of everyone's sentences. Eleven hours later, the plane landed steadily at Los Angeles International Airport. At this time, Los Angeles time was five o'clock in the afternoon.

When everyone walked out of the airport, Xiao Yunhai saw his housekeeper, Ivor Spencer, and Wu Zixu, who was in Hollywood in the late stage of the English version of "Battle of the Red Cliff".

"Director Wu, why are you here?"

After everyone chatted for a while, Jiao Fangtao asked.

Wu Zixu said with a smile: "I was dipped in the light of the sea of ​​​​clouds and lived in his villa all the time. When I heard that you were coming, I came with Ivor."

Xiao Yunhai saw some foreign movie fans pointing at him, maybe he recognized him, and said quickly, "Everyone, let's get in the car and talk again."

Everyone nodded and walked towards the parking lot.

Xiao Yunhai had told Ivor in advance that there were more than 30 people, so Ivor rented a bus that could accommodate 50 people and came to pick them up.

When we got back, the sumptuous dinner was ready.

Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "Stop gossiping, let's fill our stomach first, I'm going to starve to death."

Everyone laughed.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Xiao Yunhai asked Wu Zixu next to him, "Director Wu, how's the later stage of "Battle of the Red Cliffs" going? Is it going well?"

Wu Zixu sighed and said, "It's very difficult. It took me and six filmmakers who are proficient in Chinese and Western cultures for more than a week, and in the end, only one third of the work was completed. The rest is not difficult. , the most difficult thing is the translation of the lines. It is really not an easy thing to want to conform to the speaking habits of Westerners, and not let them play because of the lines when watching a movie."

Xiao Yunhai pointed at Jiao Fangtao and said with a smile, "Isn't there an expert here? Director Jiao, your "Xiao Cui", like our "Battle of the Red Cliff", is a costume movie. Don't hide it. Now, tell us about any good experiences you have."

Jiao Fangtao smiled bitterly and said, "My English level is even difficult to communicate with, what do you want me to say. When I was working on "Xiao Cui", I just asked those translators, and they completed the specific work. To be honest, even if they translated the donkey's head and the horse's mouth, I couldn't hear it at all. Of course, after the completion, I asked several groups of foreigners to come to watch it, and they said there was no problem, so I dared to show it."

Wu Zixu said, "Old Jiao, how long did it take you to finish "Xiao Cui"?"

Jiao Fangtao said: "For two months, I was going crazy."

Wu Zixu pouted and said, "I'm happier than you. Our "Battle of Chibi" has much fewer lines than "Xiao Cui", so it is relatively easy to translate."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Okay, let's put the worrying things out of the way. Let's have a drink and get drunk now, so let's have a good drink first and then talk about it."

Xiao Yunhai raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "The Oscars will be held in two days. I wish Huaxia Film a great success. Cheers."

"cheers."

That night, everyone drank until ten o'clock, and the atmosphere was very warm.

The next day, Xiao Yunhai went to the magic special effects company after eating breakfast.

After looking at the company's recent financial statements and work performance, Xiao Yunhai smiled and said to Daniel, "You once told me that there is no problem with three billion dollars in half a year. But when I looked at the statements, it seemed that it was more than three billion dollars."

Daniel said: "Boss, three billion dollars is 100% of what we can do. Because of the problems of the film company and the cinema, we can't guarantee that they will come to do the post-production special effects according to the scheduled time, so we didn't talk to you. Mention. If you include that, we'll be $4.2 billion in profit."

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Daniel, you have done a very good job, and I am very satisfied. Let me tell you that this year's half-year award is based on our agreement, and each person will be increased by 50,000 US dollars in recognition of their efforts. The finance department provided 30 million US dollars to reward some outstanding employees.”

Daniel smiled and said, "Boss, you are so generous. I believe everyone will be ecstatic when they hear the news."

Xiao Yunhai said: "You make money for me, of course I won't treat you badly. Well, my time is limited, I need to go to Marvel Comics, I won't accompany you to dinner at noon. Hey, our magic special effects company has gone. It's on the right track, but the Marvel Comics problem isn't enough."

Daniel comforted: "Boss, since you took over Marvel, you have done a very good job. The "Transformers" comics have sold 70 million copies in Europe and the United States, and more than 20 million sets of toys. The animation is even more defeated. Disney’s Tom and Jerry, and now Marvel’s market cap has gone from $16 billion to $27 billion, and Hollywood is saying you’ve done another miracle.”

Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "These achievements are all based on the success of "Transformers". If you don't have it, look at it again, it's definitely not a little bit worse. Eggs can't be put in one basket, Otherwise, if you accidentally fall to the ground, all the eggs will be destroyed."

After sending Xiao Yunhai to the car, Daniel returned to the company, clapped his hands, and said to the employees at work, "I have good news to tell you that our boss is very satisfied with your recent work. As long as nothing goes wrong, in July this year, In addition to the half-year bonus that should be given to you, there will also be an additional reward of $50,000 per person. At the same time, $30 million will be given to employees who have performed well. Let’s work hard.”

"Yeah. Long live the boss."

"Fantastic, the boss is the most generous boss in the world."

"I finally have the money to trade my classic car."

"Entering magic was the wisest decision I've ever made in my life."

"Boss, I love you to death."
