Chapter 715 (1/2)
Kerry called Xiao Yunhai on the fourth day of the show, and said: ”Xiao, our” Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone ”has been successful
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ”you should say that the whole Harry Potter series has been successful.”
Kerry said excitedly, ”yes. Do you know how popular novels are selling in America these two days
Xiao Yunhai said: ”I just talked to Jesse an hour ago. He said that the number of books reserved for him by major bookstores in the United States has reached 2.3 million, and that in Europe is 1.4 million. It looks good.”
Kerry said, ”what's good? It should be very, very good. Do you know how sorry I am now, Xiao
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ”come again, I feel headache when I hear your words. Kerry, I've been very nice to you. You said, if I don't shoot the Harry Potter series with you MGM now, won't you have to regret it? ”
”No” Kerry said in a panic: ”Xiao, you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge. We are good friends and brothers. You can't go back on good things
With the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone, the series has become the most popular movie in the near future.
If Xiao Yunhai left MGM and went to invest in director alone, there would be no problem, and he would earn much more than he does now.
As for the contract he signed with MGM, it is only 100 million US dollars of liquidated damages, which is nothing to Xiao Yunhai.
Kerry was obviously aware of the seriousness of the matter, and that was a bit of a panic.
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, ”OK, Kerry, don't make fun of you. You can rest assured that the promise I made by Xiao Yunhai is not something that only a few billion dollars can buy. ”
Chris took a breath and said, ”you know what? I was really scared by you
Xiao Yunhai said: ”you deserve it. Who makes you complain all day long. I tell you, let me hear you say that in the future, I will immediately terminate the contract with you MGM, so that you will regret it even more. ”
Kerry said quickly, ”I promise, I will never say it in front of you.”
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ”it's almost the same. Kerry, have you found a director who can direct the second Harry Potter movie? I think it's time to set up a crew. ”
Kerry said: ”we have initially decided on three directors. They are all very good. The company will select them carefully. Now, Shaw, give me Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets, so I can find someone to adapt it into a script
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, ”no problem. But Kerry, how much are you going to give me for my royalty? Should it go up a little? ”
Kerry laughs: ”as long as you can give us the Harry Potter series to MGM, everything is easy to say.”
Maybe he was really scared by Xiao Yunhai. The next morning, Kerry sent MGM's manager in China to find Xiao Yunhai and signed an agreement with him. The copyright fee doubled.
The following time, ”Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone” is rampant all over the world, but Xiao Yunhai has been busy writing the script of ”Kangxi Dynasty” at home. This project is still relatively troublesome.
Zhao Wanqing has been looking for her repertoire all over the world. Now she has finished the arrangement of seven songs. However, if she wants to pass the customs, she needs at least 16 songs. Therefore, Zhao Wanqing does not dare to waste any time.
Xiao Yunhai is able to see her at night, of course, without the creation movement.
That day, Xiao Yunhai received an international long-distance call from Bickerman.
”Hello, Mr. Xiao.”
”Hello, Mr. Bickerman. Are you done with everything?”
”It's all done,” bichoven said with a smile. The next step is to shoot the Lord of the rings. But before that, I'd like to go to your fantasy special effects company to see if the technology there can meet my requirements? ”
Xiao Yunhai said: ”of course, there is no problem. Mr. Bickerman, when will you come over so that I can pick you up in the car. ”
Bickerman said,” I arrived in Yanjing yesterday and stayed in a hotel not far away from fantasy special effects film and television company. ”
