Chapter 988 Self-Confidence
Before Mikan could finish speaking, Xiao Yunhai interrupted him.
"Mr. Mikan, please don't say these high-sounding words. Let me ask you, do you dare to swear by the Bible that there is no secret deal at this Oscar?"
Mikan pursed his lips and said, "I can't guarantee it. After all, there are more than 200 Oscar judges, and it is impossible for me to know everything about everyone."
Xiao Yunhai sneered: "Even you, the chairman of the Oscar Organizing Committee, can't guarantee it, can I just say a few words? The Oscars have always been advertised as the highest palace of world cinema, but the judges are all European and American filmmakers. , and there are also some people who have close ties with major Hollywood studios. Mr. Mikan, do you think this is fair to our Asian movies?"
"Comparatively speaking, in this respect, our China Golden Zun Award International Film Festival is much stronger than the Oscars. The judges from other countries have invited more than 60% of the judges, which guarantees the Golden Zun Award to the greatest extent. Fair and just. Whether it is Chinese films, European and American films, or films from other countries, there is a fair environment. Mr. Mikan, don't you think the Oscars should also enrich some Asian filmmakers?"
With a gloomy face, Mikan said, "Mr. Xiao, we don't mean to look down on Asian films at all. Otherwise, the Japanese director Mr. Takahashigawa's "The Great River" would not have won the Best Foreign Language Film Award."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Mr. Mike is deceiving himself, or he really treats everyone as a fool. If "Infernal Affairs" and "Inception" were not made by me, but by a European and American director, do you think he Will it fail? A movie with billions of dollars in box office has been abandoned like a shoe. I really can't believe this is the Oscar in my mind."
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Mikan couldn't hold back the anger in his chest any longer, and said, "Mr. Xiao, if you think Oscar is unfair, can you not come to participate in the evaluation?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said with a sneer: "No wonder Oscar's prestige is declining, and with a chairman like you who can't even listen to different opinions, it's no wonder that he can get better. Don't worry, starting today, all my movies I won't be participating in the Oscar selection anymore. The Oscars have gone bad now and are not worthy of my movies at all."
According to Xiao Yunhai,
Immediately, there was a commotion among the reporters.
"No way. Xiao was so angry that he didn't even participate in the Oscars."
"It's about to happen now."
"I didn't win an award, I just complained a few words. I didn't expect him to choose not to participate in the evaluation. His temper is really not small."
"Without Xiao, Oscar would lose his luster."
"This year Xiao's "2012" goal is 15 billion US dollars. If it is really achieved, and next year's Oscar does not have him, it will be a devastating blow to Oscar's credibility."
While the reporters were whispering, they frantically took pictures of Xiao Yunhai and Mikan.
Mikan was almost pissed off by Xiao Yunhai, his chest kept heaving and he said, "That's your power."
After saying that, he left angrily.
A reporter asked, "Mr. Xiao, are you really no longer participating in the Oscars?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "What I said will never change. Well, I'm in a very bad mood now, so I'll leave first."
After separating the reporters, Xiao Yunhai and others left the DuPont Theater by car.
At the banquet, when Hanks learned about Xiao Yunhai, he couldn't help laughing.
"Young people are young people, too arrogant to make such stupid decisions."
Weaver next to him took a sip of red wine and said, "He probably doesn't know how much power the Oscar Organizing Committee has. Hehe, maybe his movies won't even get into America."
Hanks narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Xiao's performance tonight is so frustrating, it's probably related to us forcing him to bet. Hehe, he wants to use 20 billion US dollars to make us retreat, it's ridiculous. Furr, how sure are you to defeat Xiao?"
Weaver said: "One hundred percent. Mr. Hanks, "Inception" is not even worthy of a shoe compared to it. When I get a $20 billion bet in December, I hope you can give me the money. For $2 billion, I'm going to make one of the biggest blockbusters in the world."
Hanks picked up the red wine glass, touched Weaver, and said: "No problem. Hehe, since Xiao dare not take Oscar in his eyes, then I can't let him have such a good life, just for the Oscar team. The committee has avenged."
Weaver smiled and said nothing.
In the car, Xiao Yunhai sat in the passenger seat with his eyes closed, as if he was thinking about something.
Kerry was there in the back babbling, talking non-stop.
"Xiao, you are talking. The $20 billion gambling contract offended the Oscar organizing committee. Do you know how much trouble you are in?"
Xiao Yunhai opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Kerry, and said with a smile: "Some things can be tolerated, but some things are kept in my heart and I won't spit them out, and I will suffer to death. If it's going to rain, my mother wants to get married, just let it go. go."
Ye Yongren said, "Let's put aside the Oscar thing. Yunhai, to be honest, how sure are you to win the bet? That's $20 billion."
Xiao Yunhai said confidently: "100%. Even if Weaver made a flower in Resident Evil, he would never be able to compare to the first 3D movie in history. That feeling is not comparable to any 2D movie."
Liang Hui said in surprise: "That's not right. You didn't say that in the cinema."
Xiao Yunhai smiled complacently: "If I didn't say that, how would Hanks be fooled. Twenty billion dollars is not a trivial matter. Without 100% certainty, Stell will not bet."
Kerry suddenly realized, and said: "So tonight, you have been putting a trap on the other party."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's right. When we were talking, an artist in front of him recorded it with his mobile phone. Later he went to the bathroom, and Hanks went out with him."
Kerry pointed at Xiao Yunhai and scolded with a smile: "Xiao, you are a cunning fox, Hanks was hurt badly by you this time. If you export 20 billion dollars, Stell Networks will kill him. ."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Certainly not. Kerry, do you think this Hanks is a little too powerful. I thought he was just an ordinary high-level executive, but now it seems that his status in Stell is not simple. ."
Kerry nodded and said solemnly: "That's right. It's definitely not something that ordinary people can do to get Steer to agree to gamble $20 billion in two hours. Could it be that the rumor is true? "
Xiao Yunhai asked, "What rumors?"
Kerry said: "Before, there was a gust of wind on Wall Street saying that Hanks was the illegitimate son of David Steer."
Xiao Yunhai suddenly realized and said: "That's right. It's not without reason. It's possible to spend 20 billion US dollars in such a short period of time. No one can do it except David Steer. It seems that this rumor It's very likely to be true."
Kerry said: "Yes, it must be so. Hanks has a very bad reputation on Wall Street. Although his ability is good, he is not top-notch. But Stell Networks has been cultivating him and reusing him, and now he is more It was him who made him the general manager of Paramount Pictures. Everything shows that Hanks is Steer's son. Damn, this is a big trouble, with the old guy Steer behind him, Who else in Hollywood can compete with that?"
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said: "No matter who his son is, even if it is the president's son, we will not have any possibility of peaceful coexistence with him. Soldiers will block the water and cover up the soil, we just need to be more careful in the future. Gao Mei simply moved the headquarters to Huaxia."
Kerry laughed: "It's a good proposal, but I said it doesn't count."
At this time, Ye Yongren interjected and asked, "Yunhai, when will you return to China?"
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while, and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will take a lawyer to the Swiss Bank to handle the 20 billion gambling issue. After that, I will go to see my economic team. In the afternoon, I will sign the "Harry Potter" "The related contract, and then get the second "Transformers" comics, animations and other issues. It is estimated that it will take until the evening at the earliest."
Huang Qiusheng laughed and said, "We originally wanted to go with you tomorrow morning. Since you are so busy, we will go back together tonight."
Xiao Yunhai asked in surprise, "Why are you so anxious?"
Huang Qiusheng said: "How do you big bosses know the hard work of our bottom-level artists. Lao Liang and I need to go to the launch conference of a movie, while Lao Ye is anxious to go back to shoot commercials, and will have to audition for a blockbuster in two days. There wasn't much time at all."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask the driver to take you to the airport. By the way, can you tell me what movies the three teachers picked up?"
Liang Hui didn't hide the slightest bit, and said, "Old Huang and I received a Xianxia movie owned by your father-in-law, called "Exiled Immortal". Besides, the other roles are basically played by the actors of Hanhai Company. Their acting skills are all very good, I have read the script, it is not worse than "Xiao Cui", plus your special effects company is behind it, I As long as there are no accidents, the box office should not be worse than "Xiao Cui"."
Xiao Yunhai said in surprise: "My father-in-law didn't tell me about this. Teacher Ye, what movie are you going to make? You still need to audition."
Huang Qiusheng said with a smile: "Lao Ye is much better than us. He is going to participate in the new film of Stephen, a major Hollywood action director. The filming location is in Hainan, China. For this film, Director Stephen didn't even attend tonight's Oscars."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Mr. Ye, then I want to congratulate you."
Ye Yongren waved his hand and said, "I haven't given a word about this. Besides, I am able to receive an audition notice from Director Stephen, and I would like to thank you. If it weren't for "Infernal Affairs", I wouldn't have this chance. ."
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Mr. Ye, it should be said that you conquered him with your acting skills. Okay, since that's the case, then I won't keep the three teachers. I wish you all the best."
