Let you invest, and you can support half of the entertainment industry?

"You should know that the team I recruited from Happy Mahua plans to make comedy films, targeting the domestic market." Xu Jia said.

The foreign market refers to selling copyrights through winning awards, which is usually the method of sixth-generation directors. Of course, most of them are recruited.

For the domestic market, the box office is the route.

Local comedies are indeed a genre that cannot be avoided. You must know that when Hollywood blockbusters are rampant, local comedies are the only domestic films that can survive in the cracks.

After all, the domestic film environment is different from that abroad.

Just like "The Wheel", the same large-scale production is placed in the six major Hollywood studios, and the cost can be recovered as long as the box office reaches the investment amount.

Because they can still make money from movie peripherals, sales of discs, and even foreign copyrights.

However, domestic movies can only be seen at the box office. Until the piracy problem is solved, there is no need to think about the income from movie peripherals, and few people are rooted in this field.

Not to mention disc sales, this culture has not been developed.

The audience group that even goes to the cinema has not been fully cultivated, let alone the disc group.

However, there is one thing about the TV series, which is completely an independent invention of China and the only one in the world.

That is advance on-demand...

"You are planning to adapt Ma Hua's play, right? Have you submitted the script for review?" Li Ming grasped the key point immediately. As for whether there were any copyright disputes, it was not up to him to consider.

"It was sent, the Longbiao had come down, and on the comedy, there would generally not be much problem with the review." Xu Jia said.

"Yes, it's great to do comedy, but it's better to be less involved in literature and art." Li Ming said with deep feeling.

The biggest fear for domestic films is censorship issues, just like "No Man's Land" made before Galloping Horse.

After the filming was completed, it was shelved for several years before it could be seen again, and it was cut into pieces.

Fortunately, after so many years, the main actors involved have become more famous, allowing the movie to barely recover its original value.

"You don't have to worry about distribution. We will be the producer. Don't worry, we will only charge the cost price." Li Ming patted his chest and said.

"Taiping Wheel" alone, with Xu Jia helping him make up for the losses, is worth hundreds of millions.

If you really want to talk about it, it can be said that he saved Galloping Pony's life.

Hundreds of millions of working capital have been invested in "The Wheel", and with the extent of this movie's popularity, it can really bring down Galloping Pony.

Huanrui can survive only because it is a listed company with capital structure after all.

There are also many TV series that have received good responses, and their artists have also made a lot of money, so they can withstand the pressure.

Even so, in the next three years, the other party will have to be careful about its development and not dare to take any further steps.

"According to the market situation, my family should also settle the accounts clearly, so that it can last for a long time, right?"

Xu Jia declined Li Ming's kindness. He was not willing to waste favors just for this little money.

"Okay, just do what you said."

Li Ming smiled and then said: "Look what you mean, there are big moves this year. There are two TV series with over 100 million yuan in production, and now we are preparing to enter the film industry. I have to remind you, you still have to be careful with your steps. If it’s too big, it will easily pull the egg.”

He used himself as a lesson to warn Xu Jia.

Whether you can listen to it or not depends on Xu Jia himself.

After all, he had just climbed out of the pit, and someone else had helped him pull him out.

"I know what I'm doing. I'm not afraid of taking big steps now. I'm afraid that I won't be able to spend the money I have." Xu Jia shook his head.

He knows very well that despite the fact that prices in the entertainment industry are currently so inflated that everyone is scolding them, they will continue to rise even more in the future.

Internet giants such as Wanda, Alibaba, and Penguin will also join in and start a money-burning war.

When this group of capital starts burning money, it will really be like paper.

Xu Jia's current advantage, in addition to his forward-thinking vision of the past ten years, is his ample cash flow.

If you don’t spread it out before the capital giants burn their money, keeping it in your hands will only lead to rapid depreciation in value.

It's really irritating to see people compare to each other.

Li Ming is still worried about where to get the money. Many projects have not yet received payment, and cash flow is really tight.

Xu Jia on the other side was worried about not being able to spend money.

Even though Li Ming knew Xu Jia was a benefactor, he couldn't help but have a playful thought in his heart.

"Ahem, Xiao Tang, bring the project documents submitted to our company and show them to Mr. Xu."

After speaking, Li Ming looked at Xu Jia narrowly and said, "If there is a suitable project, you can take it. Anyway, we are more than capable."

I'm dozing off, please give me a pillow.

At this moment, Li Ming fell in Xu Jia's eyes, just like a silly boy from a landlord's family.

With the reputation of Galloping Pony, the project documents delivered to the other party will definitely be more than your own, and they will be more valuable.

Combined with my own forward vision...

Tsk tsk tsk, Wuhu took off directly.

"Then I would be disrespectful."

Xu Jia smiled and took the project book and turned it over casually. The first copy gave him a surprise.

"Oh, this, the director is Xu Chengyi, who is from American DreamWorks. He is very good at animation and special effects. This project should be a combination of live action and animation, but the special effects are too expensive, so I put it aside for now. The project has good potential." Li Ming answered sincerely.

It does look promising, but the prospects are good and there are so many potential film projects.

Even every year, there are many movies that look like they will make a lot of money, but in fact most of them lose money, and only a handful of them can become winners.

So in China, there is a word used to describe filmmakers, and that is gambler.

However, in Xu Jia's eyes, this is not only a good potential, but also a hen that can lay golden eggs.

"Monster Hunt", there were two sequels later.

Bai Baihe and Jing Boran were suddenly promoted to the front-line position. If it weren't for special reasons, and the film studio couldn't concentrate on improving the quality, at least two more sequels could be made.

Not to mention live-action animation, which is naturally suitable for the development of movie peripherals.

In the previous life, the producers of "Monster Hunt" did not expect it to be so popular, but Xu Jia was prepared. In this way, he was fully prepared to receive the traffic and popularity after the movie was released.

Not to mention, the movie itself was a huge box-office hit.

"Yes, please ask your assistant to fax these project documents to Jiaxing for me. I need to refer to them."

Xu Jia's face was not red, and his heart was not beating. It was impossible to tell whether he was interested in the project or not.

This disappointed Li Ming, who was always paying attention to him.

With Xu Jia's reputation as a golden touch, if the former shows he values ​​it, he might follow suit.

Friendship is friendship, and when it's time to take action, you must not be soft-hearted.

"Xiao Tang, fax these project documents to Jiaxing."

Li Ming greeted him and said with a smile: "It's a small matter, not a trouble."
