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

Lorenzo summarized the two pieces of information.

A conclusion was immediately drawn.

Damn, there are actually colleagues trying to pry someone off!

This does not obviously mean that Xu Jia has found a new partner.

This flight to the United States probably means that the two sides have reached a critical stage.

Otherwise, Yang Mi would not have been able to accompany him in person. It was very likely that she went to meet the director because of the female lead role.

"Is it Columbia Entertainment or Disney?"

While Lorenzo reported the name of the company he suspected, observing Xu Jia's reaction, he racked his brains to dissuade the other party: "Columbia Entertainment Company is owned by Soni. Those Japanese people are quite unscrupulous in their work. They must be hiding something." It’s evil, as for Disney, those guys are obsessed with copyright and animation, and even if they make a live-action movie, they will never allow you to take the lead.”

"It's not like us at Warner. Not only are we willing to give up the leadership to you, but we can also share the revenue 50-50, or even lower."

In order to save Xu Jia, he gave up all the face and dignity of the top five entertainment companies in the United States.

After all, it’s the company’s face that’s being lost, so what does it have to do with him?

Xu Jia raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure the revenue share can be lower?"

"Uh……"

Lorenzo also didn't expect that Xu Jia would respond so quickly.

And it’s still on such a tricky issue.

Thinking of the company's urging on him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, but it requires further communication between me and the headquarters, but I can guarantee that you will definitely be satisfied."

Hey, this is a bit of a waste of money.

It was obvious that he was using the company's interests in exchange for his own franchise.

Xu Jia observed Lorenzo with great interest, his thoughts turning over and over again.

Is it possible that this foreigner has become restless?

"This is a matter between you and Warner. All I want is the result, and I won't stay in New York for long. I will give you two days at most, and then I will fly to Europe."

Naturally, Xu Jia would not give Warner too much time to react in case they contacted domestic competitors.

Isn't it revealed?

After chatting about official matters, Xu Jia asked meaningfully: "What was the proposal I gave you last time, about the introduction and investment of American films?"

In fact, he is not particularly interested in introducing overseas films.

The main reason is that the amount of this piece is limited, and a maximum of 25% of the box office share is given.

In the eyes of overseas entertainment companies, no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat.

But in Xu Jia's opinion, there is really no need to go through trouble just for this little bit of meat.

Lest you don't eat much meat, but end up with a fishy mess.

What he really values ​​​​is Sino-foreign co-production, which is called "Sino-foreign co-production of films".

There are actually three types of co-production films: joint production, collaborative production and commissioned production.

Among them, joint production refers to a form of filming in which domestic and foreign production companies jointly invest (including funds, labor services or physical goods), co-produce, share benefits and bear risks; collaborative production refers to foreign parties investing in filming movies in China. The Chinese side only provides venue, equipment, labor and other paid services to assist; commissioned filming is a foreign party entrusting the filming within China.

Among the three types, the copyrights of the latter two co-produced films and commissioned films belong to foreign parties.

If you want to enter the Chinese mainland market, you need to treat it as an imported film.

Xu Jia would definitely not choose this path, so she would simply make wedding clothes for others.

So the co-productions he made today refer to the first type, joint productions. To put it bluntly, they are co-productions that can enjoy the treatment of domestic films.

And 15 years later, there are more and more companies doing co-productions.

The main reason is actually the entry of capital, and everyone has money.

Each pig sticks an onion in its nose, trying to pretend to be an elephant.

In Xu Jia's memory of his previous life, there weren't many co-productions that could make money.

It is often overseas producers who cheat the Chinese side.

After all, if people want to make a fuss about their accounts, it's just like playing around.

But Xu Jia has an advantage that domestic production companies do not have, that is, Jiaxing's domestic achievements are impressive.

Eight days after "Mermaid" was released, the box office has reached 2.5 billion, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks 4 billion.

Converted into US dollars, it is more than 300 million.

Don't say foreigners don't care, people's eyes are red.

This is a film market that is gradually maturing, and they naturally want to get a piece of the pie.

Coincidentally.

Xu Jia also takes a fancy to the vast overseas market.

This provides the basis for cooperation.

The Lorenzo in front of him is an important chess piece and a foothold in Xu Jia's overseas expansion.

"I think the plan you mentioned is very promising. Nowadays, internationalization is an irresistible trend, and the entertainment industry should be the same. This also brings different perspectives and cultural exchanges to each other's people."

Lorenzo answered very righteously, but in fact he was tactfully expressing that he was very interested in Xu Jia's proposal.

But this guy is still a producer for Warner Bros., so his elbows shouldn't be turned out too obviously.

more importantly.

If this person cooperates with Xu Jia for the sake of cultural exchanges between the two countries and for the benefit of the company, Xu Jia firmly does not believe it.

Being so coquettish is nothing more than showing off and wanting to erect an archway.

"What you said is exactly what I expected. I am telling you this because I value you Lorenzo, not Warner behind you. The one I really want to cooperate with is Di Bonaventura Pictures." Xu Jia said word by word.

The so-called di Bonaventura Pictures is the company founded by Lorenzo.

The latter raised the corner of his mouth at first, but quickly suppressed it, and said with a serious face: "But if this is known to the headquarters, many things will not be explained clearly..."

"Does Warner still want to restrict employees from making friends with customers?"

Xu Jia stretched out his hand with a slight smile on his lips, "Yes, Lorenzo, my friend."

"It's an honor to be your friend. I think cultural exchanges between the two countries are imperative." Lorenzo shook hands understandingly.

Yang Mi watched the two old men shaking hands and communicating enthusiastically, and couldn't help but feel sad for Warner.

With this pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes around, even the top 500 in the world would probably get bitten off a piece of their flesh...

But cooperation is something that comes later.

What matters right now is the Meg project.

Even though the two of them were already in a conspiracy, Xu Jia still had a hand in reserve.

The truth about the smoke bomb was not revealed.

He just patted his chest and repeatedly assured the other party that as long as the revenue share could be negotiated at a lower level, he was willing to give Lorenzo a face and restart negotiations with Warner.

Lorenzo was moved for a while, thinking that his face really played a role.

He also promised Xu Jia that after returning, he would make the contract more favorable to Jiaxing.

So much so that after Yang Mi learned the result of the discussion between the two.

The way he looked at Lorenzo was like looking at the idiot from the next village.
