Having fun with the child, Xiao Yunhai's cell phone rang, it was Bickwin's phone.

"Hey, Director Bickwin, how was your rest last night?"

Bickwin laughed and said: "Very good. Xiao, we have three consecutive global box office on the premiere night, a total of 294 million US dollars, very good reputation in all regions of the world, the score is basically above 9 points."

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "That's great. Congratulations, Director Bickvin, for making another good movie. Maybe your "Lord of the Rings" can break the box office record of "Vs Aliens". "

Bickwin said, "If that's the case, it would be great. Xiao, thank you, without your full support, "Lord of the Rings" would not have achieved such good results."

Xiao Yunhai said: "You have said it eight hundred times, so you don't need to be so polite. The better the score of "Lord of the Rings", the more I earn, and we are a win-win. By the way, how is the box office of "Hurricane Operation"?"

Bickwin said: "114 million US dollars, not bad. Of course, word-of-mouth and box office are far behind us."

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "It seems that we have a chance to win. It just happens to teach Hanks of Paramount a lesson, so as not to keep him idle and always trouble me. Director Bickwin, later, I Drive to the hotel to pick you up, and we will return to the United States together."

Bickwin said: "Okay."

At ten o'clock in the morning, with the exception of the stars who needed to stay in China to continue to promote the movie, Xiao Yunhai and the film crew returned to Hollywood together on a private jet.

Coming out of the airport, Xiao Yunhai didn't waste time and went straight to the company.

At this time, the sixty-two-story building he bought has been completely renovated. All the employees of Marvel Comics, Magic Special Effects, Storm Games, and his private investment company have moved into it. Even so, it is still very spacious, and it is estimated that even if there are another thousand people, it will be put down.

Raul knocked on the door and walked in as soon as he sat on the boss chair in his office.

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It just happens that something is looking for you. Have our four directors made the budget for the four superhero blockbusters?"

Raul nodded and said: "It has been done. Including special effects, the total is 2.5 billion US dollars. Among them, "Iron Man" 800 million, "Captain America" ​​700 million, "Doctor Strange" 500 million, " "X-Men" 500 million."

Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "Paramount's action blockbuster "Hurricane Operation" has a budget of more than 1.2 billion. How can we have so little?"

A serious person like Raul couldn't help but smile when he heard Xiao Yunhai's words, thinking that his boss was really special. The biggest fear of all investors in Hollywood is the high budget. He is good, and even thinks that the budget is too low.

"Boss, for films like Operation Hurricane, most of the money is spent on the artists. I heard that the directors and celebrities alone have paid a terrifying $400 million for the film. Also for publicity, film companies often They will make false reports. In fact, the total amount of money used in the filming is 600 million U.S. dollars. The directors and actors used in our four films add up to less than 400 million, so the budget for each film is not high. "

Speaking of this, Raul sighed: "Hollywood is like that. The poorer the poorer, the richer the richer. There are superstars who can earn 40 million in a movie, and there are extras who can't even eat. Even the stars. In time, there is also a huge gap. The pay of second-line actors is not even one-tenth of that of first-line actors.

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Why don't the entertainment circles in other parts of the world be like this. Raul, you go to arrange it. I am going to hold a press conference at four o'clock this afternoon to announce to Hollywood that our Marvel Comics company has officially entered the film. industry."

Raul nodded and said excitedly: "Yes, boss."

Just about to turn around, Raul suddenly patted his forehead, and said, "Look at my brain, I almost forgot about the business when I was excited. Boss, have you ever watched the Paramount movie "Assassin "?"

Xiao Yunhai said, "No. What's wrong?"

Raul said, "Boss, when I was browsing the entertainment website yesterday, I accidentally saw a small website that said "Assassin" used the music from one of your songs in a certain segment. I asked someone to check it. Now, there is indeed such a soundtrack, and it took about twenty-five seconds."

Xiao Yunhai said in surprise, "How is this possible?"

This world pays much more attention to copyright than in the previous life. After the director completes the post-production of a movie, the film company will arrange a special person to reply and check back and forth several times. Anyone who involves the copyright of others will sign a use agreement with the copyright owner. , So as to avoid copyright disputes.

Like the soundtrack used in movies, it is the focus of inspection. Generally speaking, this problem will never occur.

Raul said: "Boss, your album is popular throughout North America, and your songs are playing everywhere on the street. I think it's possible that the melody is too familiar. They thought it was an old song, so they didn't care too much."

Songs that are more than ten years old are free to use in movies.

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Maybe. Raul, you cut that paragraph out for me. Hmph, if Paramount really dares to use my music as a soundtrack without my permission, then they will die. ."

Raul said: "Boss, in this case, I'm afraid we and Paramount will really have no room for reconciliation."

"Reconciliation?" Xiao Yunhai sneered, "Raul, if you lose 17 billion U.S. dollars because of someone's intervention, and then you are not angry, you bet that you lose another 20 billion U.S. dollars to that person. Will not be friends with him in the future?"

Raul shook his head and said, "Of course not, unless he returns the money to me. Boss, I understand."

Less than five minutes after Raul went out, Christie walked in with a large stack of documents.

Xiao Yunhai suddenly got a little big head and said, "Ms. Christie, how many projects have you invested in again?"

Christy smiled and said: "Not many, only eighteen. They are all small projects that we think can make money. The amount is not large, and the total amount is less than one billion US dollars."

Xiao Yunhai nodded, admiring Christie's behavior. Eggs can't be placed in a basket. This is a famous saying.

However, if you let him read these materials, then thank you for being insensitive.

Xiao Yunhai said: "Ms. Christie, you can just summarize it directly into a report."

Christie showed an expression like that as expected, took out a two-page form, and said: "Mr. Xiao, this is the relevant situation and development prospects of all investment projects, please take a look."

Xiao Yunhai glanced at it and said with a smile: "Ms. Christie, I said that small investments like this are not used to report to me."

Christie said: "Mr. Xiao, don't look down on these small investments. Maybe, there will be a financial giant in the future."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Although the probability of this incident is not high, it does exist."

Christy smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao, I will put the information here, please take a look at it anyway. I need to negotiate with someone at noon today, so I will leave first. If there is anything unclear, you can call at any time. ask me."

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Go ahead."

After Christie left, Xiao Yunhai looked at the information on the table and shook his head with a wry smile.

Xiao Yunhai is still very optimistic about the ability of his own economic team, but they are all top workaholics. Every time he comes back, there are countless materials waiting for him to review, which makes Xiao Yunhai a little unbearable.

Thinking of his wife, Zhao Wanqing, who seems to be a lot better than herself in business, and seems to be very interested, Xiao Yunhai wanted to bring all these things back to China and leave it to her to deal with it, so that Christy can do anything in the future. Contact her directly.

Yes, that's it.

Xiao Yunhai took out all these documents and the documents that were in the safe before, and when he was about to leave, he brought them on the plane together.

After a while, Raul sent over the segment of "Assassin" using Xiao Yunhai's music melody.

Xiao Yunhai listened carefully and found that it was indeed a small part of the song "billiejean" by Michael Jackson that he had copied.

According to the United States Copyright Law, if the soundtrack used in a movie exceeds fifteen seconds and the music copyright use agreement is not signed, the user will be fined up to ten times the value of the original work. If there is no money, then the relevant person needs to go to jail for reflection.

The song "billiejean" has reached tens of millions of hits on the Internet ~ lightnovelpub.net~ plus singles and albums, conservatively estimated to be around 100 million U.S. dollars, ten times that would be 1 billion U.S. dollars.

And the profit that "Assassin" brought to Paramount was less than 400 million U.S. dollars, even if it was paid to Xiao Yunhai, it was not enough.

"Hehe, Hanks is dead now."

Xiao Yunhai never thought of letting him go.

At first, because of the copyright issue of the superheroes, the two were a little unhappy. Later, Hanks denied his face in public at the Oscars. Recently, he used "Assassin" to snipe his "Chibi War", plus those two. In the tens of billions of century bets, Xiao Yunhai and Hanks can be said to be incompatible.

Since you can never be friends, you can simply offend to death.
