As if hearing everyone's shouts, Xiao Yunhai's eyes became sharp as swords, and his aura rose so much, he said, "Since it is my 20 billion bet, I won't lose faith. I'll bet."
"it is good."
Overwhelming applause and applause resounded throughout the theater, and the atmosphere was far more enthusiastic than those who won awards.
The huge bet of 20 billion US dollars is really exciting, and everyone's faces are inexplicably excited.
Hanks smiled triumphantly and made a stop gesture to the audience. The hands seemed to have magical power, and the scene miraculously quieted down.
Hanks said: "Mr. Xiao, since you have agreed to the gambling agreement, then we have to make a good rule in front of everyone, so that the person who loses will not be accountable."
Xiao Yunhai sneered and said, "It's just 20 billion U.S. dollars. Does Mr. Hanks need to be so careful?"
Hanks said: "I always do business with care. You said that your movie will be released in the second half of the year. Can you tell me a specific time?"
Xiao Yunhai asked: "When do you think it is appropriate?"
Hanks glanced at Weaver, Weaver said: "With the current progress, my "Resident Evil" will almost be completed by the end of August."
Hanks said: "Then it will be released globally on October 10th. I wonder if Mr. Xiao agrees?"
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "My time is a little bit tight, so let's set it for November 1."
Hanks heard Xiao Yunhai's recording and knew his difficulties. Not only did he not feel the slightest surprise when he delayed the time, but he was even more relieved.
"Yes, at that time, we will determine the winning or losing based on the box office of the entire November movie. "2012" wins, and 20 billion dollars goes to you. "Resident Evil" wins, and 20 billion dollars goes to me."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Yes. Tomorrow I will go to a Swiss bank to borrow 20 billion U.S. dollars, and I will ask them to act as an intermediary to seal up the two checks. Whoever wins will let them call each other 40 billion U.S. dollars. "
Hanks said: "Very good. There are still some terms, I will read them to everyone now, if you have objections, you can raise them."
Next, Hanks read out more than 20 restrictive measures in one mind. Each one was designed to address the problems Xiao Yunhai said in the recording. They were very detailed and there were no loopholes in the middle.
In order to win Xiao Yunhai's 20 billion U.S. dollars, Hanks can be said to have taken great pains.
Xiao Yunhai was secretly happy, but his face was very solemn.
After the other party finished reading, Xiao Yunhai didn't find any gaps, nodded and said, "Yes."
Hanks took out two agreements that he had prepared long ago and was about to sign. Xiao Yunhai quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. Hanks, I'm sorry. If the agreement is going to be signed, it should be signed by Stahl. Not you."
This is absolutely not allowed to sign randomly. In case Paramount lost the game, Stehr denied it and pushed Hanks out.
Stahl Finance Minister James stepped forward, took out a seal, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao is really careful. This is a special seal of our Stahl Networks, there should be no problem."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Of course."
The two parties signed and stamped their names, and the gambling agreement of up to 20 billion U.S. dollars became effective.
There was warm applause from the audience, and everyone was extremely excited.
"Great. The battle of the world has finally begun."
"The duel between No. 1 and No. 2 in the box office rankings, a bet of 20 billion US dollars, I feel excited."
Ivan sighed and said, "Bickwin, you and Mr. Xiao should be very familiar. Who do you think will win?"
Beekwen frowned and said, "It's hard to tell. The key is how Xiao's 3D effect is? If the technology is immature, it can't make us feel immersive, or it's far from our expectations, then This movie is probably finished. On the contrary, if the effect of "2012" can be perfect, even if "Resident Evil" is filmed well, don't want to win it."
Ivan smiled and said: "I forgot that you are a technical controller. However, I totally agree with you."
With the contract, Xiao Yunhai's face was gloomy, and without even attending the banquet, he and the crew left the DuPont Theater.
Looking at his back, Hanks, who was being interviewed, showed a triumphant smile.
As soon as he walked out of the theater, Xiao Yunhai and others were surrounded by countless reporters who had been staying outside. At the same time, many reporters rushed out from behind and surrounded them.
"Mr. Xiao, do you think you can win the 20 billion dollar bet?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "If I don't have confidence, how could I agree to gamble with them."
"But it seems to us that you reluctantly agreed for the sake of face? Didn't you?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said: "Absolutely not. I have 100% confidence in "2012". Its wonderful degree is matched with 3D technology, and the effect achieved will far exceed your imagination. Don't say it. It's "Resident Evil", it is ten or twenty, and I will not put them in my eyes."
"Mr. Xiao, you don't seem to get any prizes tonight? How do you feel about this?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said coldly, "Besides disappointment, what should I feel? My "Infernal Affairs" sold for billions of dollars during the economic crisis, and "Infernal Affairs" was even more stable. Ranked second in the global box office rankings. Two films that have been recognized by fans all over the world have not won a single award. Friends from the press, do you say fair?"
"Mr. Xiao, are you questioning the impartiality of the Oscar jury?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "Yes. When I came, I heard a lot of gossip that certain companies are frequently contacting Oscar judges. At first I didn't take it seriously. I thought such a big movie age should not There will be some problems that shouldn't arise, but now it seems that my thinking is a bit too simple."
What Xiao Yunhai said was actually challenging the Oscar Organizing Committee and criticizing them for engaging in black-box operations.
Such news is simply too valuable to reporters.
Ye Yongren next to him gently tugged Xiao Yunhai's clothes and whispered, "Yunhai, you have to be careful when you speak. I offended the Oscar jury, and it will be very detrimental to your future."
Xiao Yunhai said: "I don't care. Tonight, I am almost suffocated to death. If I don't vent, I feel uncomfortable. The big deal, I will not participate in the Oscars in the future, can't I?"
A reporter asked: "Mr. Xiao, is there any basis for your words?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "No. I just guessed based on the Oscar awards. We Huaxia were shortlisted for three films, "Xiao Cui", "Infernal Affairs" and "Infernal Affairs", and the global box office totaled more than one hundred. Five billion US dollars, but in the end it was a mess. If there is no problem, do you believe it? I think Oscar is biased towards our Chinese movies."
"Mr. Xiao, please be careful, we have held the Oscars for so many years, and there has never been a problem with black box operation."
A loud voice came from outside the crowd.
Everyone turned their heads and looked around, only to see a gray-haired but spirited old man standing in front of the theater.
Kerry said softly in Xiao Yunhai's ear. "This is George Mikan, the chairman of the Oscar jury. Don't look at his upright appearance, in fact he is full of male thieves and female prostitutes."
When the reporters saw George Mikan, they consciously made way for him.
Mikan walked in front of Xiao Yunhai~EbookFREE.me~ and said: "Mr. Xiao, you are not in the mood to win the Oscar, I can understand, but every award in it is carefully voted by the judges. You can't insult the Oscar Organizing Committee like that."
"Insult?" Xiao Yunhai sneered: "I never thought of insulting Oscar, but only raised my own objection. My "Infernal Affairs" and "Infernal Space" are really so bad that I can't even win a single prize. Are you there? Mr. Mikan, don’t coax me with the set of coaxing fans. You dare to swear with the bible that there is nothing wrong with this Oscar in private?"
George Mikan is the most famous Christian in the United States. He didn't dare to swear with the Bible when he killed him. Once he lied, he would betray his faith and be spurned by all Americans. The consequences would be more than breaking the law. To be serious,
"Every award ceremony cannot guarantee absolute fairness, we..."
