Entertainment Guru Rebirth
Chapter 715: Meet Bickwin
On the fourth day of the show, Kerry called Xiao Yunhai and said with excitement: "Xiao, our "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is a success."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "You should say that the entire Harry Potter series succeeded."
Kerry said excitedly: "Yes. Do you know how hot novels have been sold in the United States these past two days?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "I only talked to Jesse on the phone an hour ago and heard from him that the bookstores in the United States have only booked 2.3 million books with him, and the book in Europe is 140. One hundred thousand copies, it looks pretty good."
Kerry said, "What is it? It should be very, very good. Xiao, do you know how much I regret now?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Here again, I have a headache when I hear your words. Kerry, I am already very good to you. You said, if I don't shoot "Harry Potter" with you MGM now "Series, don’t you have to regret it?"
"No" Kerry said in a panic: "Xiao, you can't cross the river and break the bridge. We are good friends, good brothers, and you can't go back on what you say good things."
With the popularity of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", this series has become the best-selling movie just around the corner. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cornucopia.
If Xiao Yunhai left MGM and went to invest in the director alone, there would be no problem, and he would earn far more than he has now.
As for the contract he signed with MGM, it was nothing more than a penalty of 100 million U.S. dollars, which was nothing to Xiao Yunhai.
Kerry obviously also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he was a little panicked.
Xiao Yunhai laughed loudly and said, "Well, Kerry, don't tease you. Don't worry, the promise I made by Xiao Yunhai is not something you can buy for a mere billions of dollars."
Kerry took a long breath and said, "Do you know? I was really scared by you just now."
Xiao Yunhai said: "It deserves it, who made you complain all day long. I tell you, let me hear you say this in the future, and I will immediately terminate the contract with you MGM, making you even more regretful."
Kerry quickly said: "I promise, I will never say it in front of you in the future."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It's pretty much the same. Kerry, have you found a director who can direct the second Harry Potter? I think it should be possible to build a crew now."
Kerry said, "We have initially decided on three candidates for the director, and they are all very good. The company will definitely choose them carefully. Xiao, you should give me "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" now. I'm looking for someone. Adapt it into a script."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "No problem. But, Kerry, how much are you going to pay me for my copyright? Shouldn't it be increased?"
Kerry chuckled and said, "As long as you can give us the Harry Potter series to MGM, everything is easy to say."
Maybe it was really scared by Xiao Yunhai. The next morning, Kerry sent the manager of MGM's China Branch to find Xiao Yunhai and signed a contract with him. The copyright fee doubled.
In the following time, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" raged wildly all over the world, but Xiao Yunhai had been busy writing the script of "Kangxi Dynasty" at home. This project was quite troublesome.
Zhao Wanqing has been looking for her competition repertoire all over the world, and now she has finished the arrangement of seven songs, but it takes at least 16 songs to clear the level, so Zhao Wanqing dare not waste any time.
Xiao Yunhai was able to see her at night, and of course he had to engage in the creation movement.
On this day, Xiao Yunhai received an international long-distance call from Bickwin.
"Mr. Xiao, hello."
"Mr. Bickwin, hello, are your affairs finished?"
Bickwin smiled and said: "All done. Next is the filming of "Lord of the Rings". However, before that, I have to visit your dream special effects company to see if the technology there can reach mine. Claim?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Of course there is no problem. Mr. Bickwin, when will you come, I can drive to pick you up."
Bickwin said: "I arrived in Yanjing yesterday, and I live in a hotel not far from the dream special effects film company."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Mr. Bickwin, you should inform me, so I can show you around and taste the Chinese food."
Bickwin said depressedly: "I feel a little uncomfortable when I came to Yanjing. After a day’s jet lag, I felt a lot better. Then I called you. Mr. Xiao, can you come over? I want to go to dream to find out. ."
Xiao Yunhai said: "No problem, I will be there in about 20 minutes. Which hotel are you at, I will pick you up."
Bickwin said: "Let's see you downstairs in Dream."
Xiao Yunhai agreed, put on his sunglasses and clothes, and left the house.
Fifteen minutes later, Xiao Yunhai came to the front of the fantasy special effects company building, and at a glance he saw Bikwen walking around, just idle there.
Xiao Yunhai got out of the car and said with a smile, "Mr. Bickwin, it's nice to meet you."
Bickwin was taken aback when he saw Xiao Yunhai, then smiled on his face, and said, "Mr. Xiao, you are much younger and handsomer than in the movie."
The two hugged tightly, Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment. Mr. Bickwin, please come with me, and I will take you to see the dream."
Bickwin nodded and said, "It's great."
The two went to the dream work area one after the other. At this time, everyone was busy there. Some were making props, some were drawing on the software, and some were calling to discuss problems. It was a busy scene.
Xiao Yunhai didn't bother them, but took Bickwin directly to Wu Hao's office.
Wu Hao never had the habit of closing the door. It might be because of his work being too serious. Xiao Yunhai knocked on the door several times, but he didn't even hear him. His hands were still crackling on the computer keyboard.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Boss Wu, what are you doing? So serious."
Wu Hao raised his head, saw Xiao Yunhai, and quickly stood up and smiled: "Boss Xiao, when did you come here?"
Xiao Yunhai rolled his eyes and said, "I knocked on the door countless times, and you didn't hear it. This is what you called. Come, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Bickwin, the master of Hollywood magic film, right? He should be familiar to you. Mr. Bickwin, this is one of the founders of Magic, Hao Wu, is a top technical expert. The latest special effects technology of Magic comes from his hands. So, if you have any questions, you can ask him."
The two shook hands, and Wu Hao said in fluent English: "Mr. Bickwin, your movie is my favorite and full of imagination. I am really happy to see you today."
Bickwin laughed and said, "Thank you Mr. Wu for being able to like my movies. This time I came here, mainly because I wanted to collaborate with Dream to shoot a magical epic film "The Lord of the Rings" with a huge background. I also ask Mr. Wu to help.
Wu Hao smiled and said: "No problem. A few days ago, Mr. Xiao had already told me about the "Lord of the Rings" and asked me whether the current technology can meet my needs. For this reason, I specifically read the novel. I have an impression on the whole. I can tell you responsibly that we can dream of all the scenes in the "Lord of the Rings" novel, but it will take a lot of time.
Xiao Yunhai said: "Boss Wu, this "Lord of the Rings" was filmed by me. It is divided into three parts, the first, the middle and the lower. Director Bickwin will shoot all the movie scenes first, and then do it separately after editing. Special effects in the post-production period, one release is completed until all three are finished."
Wu Hao nodded and said: "Boss Xiao, I understand. Director Bickwin, have you made a special effects plan? I want to see it."
Bickwin said: "In my computer mailbox. I need to go online to download it."
Wu Hao pointed to a computer next to him, and said, "You can put the plan on this computer, and then we will print it out."
Soon, a plan of more than 60 pages appeared in Xiao Yunhai's hands.
Xiao Yunhai simply read two pages, then handed it to Wu Hao. He said, "Mr. Bickwin, how long did you use this plan? It's too detailed."
Bickwin laughed and said: "I don't like accidents when making movies~lightnovelpub.net~ so the preparation work will be as perfect as possible without omissions. This plan took me half a year to complete."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said admiringly: "No wonder your movie has never disappointed. Just this seriousness and meticulousness surpasses more than 90% of directors. It seems that I invested in "Lord of the Rings" There is nothing wrong with the decision."
Bickwin smiled and said: "Thank you for your appreciation. The whole movie has been carved into my mind. I am convinced that I will make the best-selling magical series. Therefore, Mr. Xiao, I hope you can Give me all the rights to cast, form, and film the crew. I know this is a bit too much, but I really don’t want anyone to interfere with me."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Mr. Bickwin, don't worry, I promise you won't be any constraints."
Bickwin said happily: "That's great, thank you for your trust in me."
