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

as predicted.

After talking about the investment of 100 million US dollars in special effects, Xu Jia continued: "Although this fund is going to be used for Hollywood special effects companies, I will add you to it. It doesn't matter if you can't take the lead. Let's learn. To learn from their film industry experience, this is what I focus on."

When it comes to the genre of monster movies, Hollywood's production methods are indeed much more advanced than those of China.

If a country's film industry wants to stand up, it cannot blindly focus on feature films.

Look at how Hollywood has swept the global film market and been recognized by most of the world's audiences. The first to open the way was the so-called popcorn film without connotation.

What people pay attention to is a good time, which stimulates your senses and takes entertainment to the extreme.

During the millennium, China also had this blockbuster dream.

At that time, "Hero", "The Promise" and other blockbusters with investment of hundreds of millions were launched one after another, and even Feng Pants was not to be left behind, with the release of "The Banquet".

You know, at that time, in the mainland film market, if it could exceed 100 million, it would be considered very impressive.

Therefore, it is only possible to recover costs by targeting overseas markets.

This is also the reason why many domestic audiences feel awkward when they go back to watch these movies.

Their audience is not you at all, so don’t you feel awkward?

Trying to use Western values ​​to instill the core of Eastern culture will only create a different world.

From Xu Jia's current perspective, there was some eagerness for quick success, but it has to be said that the blockbuster plan back then also laid a considerable foundation for the commercialization of domestic films.

What Xu Jia has to do now is to at least catch up with Hollywood in terms of hardware.

When Diaozi and Li Qian heard Xu Jia's plan, their hearts stopped for a moment.

This means that they have a share of the $100 million cake. Even if it is only a small share, it is enough for the department to make great progress and transformation.

"As long as Mr. Xu gives me this opportunity, I will risk my life and promise to complete the mission!"

Li Qian's eyes were red with excitement. As a leading special effects artist in China, why wouldn't he want to follow the footsteps of Hollywood?

But everything requires financial investment, especially special effects.

Domestic film and television dramas basically only use 50-cent special effects. Not to mention technological progress, it is good not to regress. For those who are a little bit more ambitious, the orders are given to overseas special effects companies.

This creates a vicious cycle. Without orders, it is impossible to invest in upgrading technology, and without technology, it is impossible to receive high-quality orders.

At present, Xu Jia is sparing no effort to support and has a tendency to break this cycle.

How could this not make Li Qian extremely excited, just because he saw the hope of the rise of China's special effects industry!

"Keep your life for yourself. What I want is your confidence and courage. That's enough."

Xu Jia spoke with emotion and patted Li Qian on the shoulder, "In terms of funding and project support, I will try my best to give you all. Whether you can take this opportunity to make progress depends on you."

Even if you start slowly, it's still better than standing still.

It’s not too late to have a good meal, at least Xu Jia has to sow the seeds, so that there is hope of fruition.

……

the next day.

Xu Jia returned to the capital alone.

Yang Mi stayed in Shanghai, and she had to hurry up and record the first episode of the "Tucao Conference".

By the way, digest the local announcements from the magic city.

As soon as I sat down in the office, I saw an unruly man knocking on the door and walking in.

He was still thinking that he didn't remember that there was such a person in the company, so the man took the initiative to speak.

"Mr. Xu, I am Xin Shuang. This is my little opinion on "Yu Zui". I hope you can correct me." Xin Shuang handed over a notebook, which was filled with his hard work.

In his opinion, it was obviously a test for Xu Jia to familiarize him with "Remaining Sin" and give him some shooting ideas.

Xu Jia was slightly startled and took the notebook.

He didn't expect the other party to hand it over so quickly.

I casually flipped through a few pages, all of which were handwritten shooting plans and ideas, quite serious.

Xu Jia didn't attach much importance to the project "Remaining Sin". What he really valued was Xin Shuang.

Only creativity is a valuable asset for a company.

The director is obviously the core figure of creativity.

"I know you, don't be nervous. I appointed you as the director, and your book also proves that I made the right choice."

Xu Jia smiled, comforted Xin Shuang, and said, "Tell me first why Zhang Yishan was chosen as the male lead. I think the one with the highest voice online is Zheng Kai."

The "Yu Zui" in the previous life may not be able to invite Zheng Kai, but in this life, Jiaxing is in charge. As long as he extends an olive branch, the former will probably come.

But Xin Shuang still chose Zhang Yishan, the actor who played Yu Zui in his previous life, which made Xu Jia curious.

"I have seen their performance clips for both actors. First of all, Zheng Kai's image in "Running Man" had a great impact on the character itself, because Yu Zui himself has a fan base of the original work and is also a fixed fan base. image, it is easy for both parties to conflict.”

"Secondly, Zheng Kai's image is more of a playboy than a ruffian. Zhang Yishan's temperament matches that of a Beijing kid, and his acting skills are explosive among the younger generation."

"The most important thing is that the latter is poorer than the former. I think that only when a person is eager to succeed can he devote the most energy to the role, thereby unleashing the greatest potential. And as a web drama, I also think it is necessary to spend more on the cost. Take control.”

Xin Shuang gave his reasons, which shows that he was not unprepared, but made the choice after careful study.

After Xu Jia listened to this series of speeches, he only had one thought in his mind.

I found a treasure myself!

A director who cares about project costs may not necessarily be a good director, but he must be the one who is more likely to succeed.

The entertainment industry is a vanity fair. If a director with no background wants to climb up from the bottom, he must learn how to make his work profitable.

The directing industry is very cruel. If a film loses money, there is basically no chance of directing next time.

Only by continuously achieving success can we gain the favor and attention of investors.

Controlling costs has naturally become a top priority.

However, for this guy who will become a hit online drama with two consecutive works in the future, it is obvious that his directing skills have not yet fully evolved, and the ideas in the script are still a bit green.

Xu Jia thought for a while and said, "How about I invite another director to direct it together?"

It's like equipping Xin Shuang with a nanny who can control the overall situation and help this guy grow.

After all, potential stocks must realize their potential first before they can reach the peak state in Xu Jia's impression.
