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

Xu Jia never thought that he and "Magic City Fortress" would have such a fate.

When word came out from Huayi that the other party was going to make this movie, he just waited to see the joke.

"Who recommended it to you? If it's someone from your company, then I'll advise you to change the company. If it's your agent, then I'll advise you to change your agent. If it's you yourself, then I'll advise you. Never make your own decisions," Xu Jia said.

Everyone in Luha was dumbfounded. They originally planned to listen to Xu Jia and explain the pros and cons to him.

Make a decision again.

But hearing the other party's answer, it was not clear that he was not optimistic about the prospects of "Magic City Fortress" at all.

"Is this movie that bad? As far as I know, it seems that the fan base of the original work is quite strong." Lu Ha said unwillingly.

After all, Magic City Fortress is one of the few large-scale productions that has invested hundreds of millions in China.

Even for top players, it is a rare opportunity.

Although he is struggling, it is not certain whether he can get it or not. There are other top players competing for it, including his old teammates.

And calculated from other people's advantages, they are no less than themselves.

I still have friendship with Huayi, and I have played a major role in "Old Pao".

"First of all, science fiction movies are not that easy to make. When you see Huayi and Disney cooperating, they only dare to make local IPs like "Mulan."

"As for "The Meg", that's because I'm not short of money, and Warner has relevant experience and a mature team. Do you think I'm targeting the domestic market for this movie? With an investment of nearly one billion yuan, the domestic market will be If you squeeze it dry, it will be difficult to get your money back.”

"So what I really focus on is the North American market. They still prefer shark disaster movies. The Chinese market can only be regarded as a supplement."

What Xu Jia said is just a judgment on the market, and the real problem with "Fortress" is actually its lineup. "I heard that the director selected by Huayi is Teng Huatao. The most successful film he has ever made is "Love Lost" "33 Days," a low-budget romance film, and other works such as "Dwelling in a Small House," etc., are either urban love or family emotions, and you basically can't escape this circle."

"Do you think he is strong enough to grasp a science fiction script like "Fortress"? If not, think about it carefully, what kind of film would you be asked to star in? Don't tell me, you don't know your own acting skills."

"Have you ever seen me force Yang Yang to use film resources as rich as ours in Jiaxing?"

It's not that Xu Jia's words are unpleasant, but that's the fact.

The movie market is different from the TV drama market. Consumers need to spend real money to support it, so most of them are more rational and objective.

The fan economy may have a certain degree of popularity at the beginning, but when the tide recedes, you will definitely be able to see who is swimming in the fruit.

"You mean you won't let me act in this movie?"

"I can only give you suggestions."

Xu Jia paused, "But I have a better suggestion, which is to push this announcement to your teammate named Wu."

He just needed to name him, and he had already mentioned it. If Lu Ha still wanted to forcefully accept this announcement, then he would definitely not stop him anymore.

After all, it’s hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words.

"I understand. Thank you for your advice. If you need my help in the future, just ask."

Lu Ha was caught in a dilemma, and he still had to make his own judgment after all.

Xu Jia also knows very well that the current promises are just empty words, and they can only come true when the ending is announced.

One is that Lu Ha participated in the film and the film failed miserably, so this promise will naturally be invalid.

The other is that Lu Ha did not participate in the role, but his teammates did. Needless to say, this guy definitely regarded Xu Jia as his savior.

Anyone who has seen how miserably "Magic City Fortress" failed will feel so lucky.

As for the possibility of the film's success, unless Huayi calls Cameron over to direct.

Li Xian, who stood aside and listened to the whole process, his head was full of mush and he could only understand a little bit.

My big boss is really awesome.

A large-scale production worth hundreds of millions will be rejected if you tell people no.

The key is that what you say is well-founded and convincing.

The person he was talking to was a top-notch person in the industry and could often be seen on TV. This feeling made Li Xian feel very strange in his heart.

There is a feeling of pride.

When I think about being under such a boss, I feel that my future is bright.

"Li Xian."

"Hey, Mr. Xu, I'm here."

"Have you ever considered the path you want to take in the future?"

"Well, I really don't have this right now. I'm currently focusing on the show, but I'm willing to follow the company's arrangements."

Li Xian shook his head. Even if he had his own thoughts, he would not say them in front of his boss.

After all, some bosses don't want their subordinates to be too assertive because they are disobedient.

"This program is to increase your popularity and make the audience familiar with your face. It is also the path for you to become famous in the shortest time. Now I want to ask you something. Do you want to follow the path of an idol? Or do you want to be an actor?”

Xu Jia stared into Li Xian's eyes and said seriously: "This is related to the company's future arrangements and resources invested in you."

If it's the former, it means that film and television variety shows are blooming. If it's the latter, then Xu Jia will try to reduce the number of variety show announcements and focus more on film and television.

Li Xian said without even thinking, "I want to be an actor."

He has never forgotten his original intention to apply for the performance department of Beijing TV.

If he just wanted to be famous, he wouldn't have been a little actor after graduation.

Don't think that all actors make money and are well paid.

In fact, only the heads, those who are well known to the audience, have amazing earning power.

This has only increased in recent years.

In fact, most actors are still poor and they have no stable income.

Even in some aspects, he is not as good as a singer.

At least the latter can earn extra income by singing in residence.

The reason why he agreed to participate in this program was because he wanted to achieve the same goal through different paths.

"Okay, since you insist on this, then I will grant it to you."

Xu Jia revealed his arrangement to him, "With your singing and dancing skills, if you can finally form a group, there is no guarantee that you will not be suspected of being a shady person. It will not be very helpful to your acting career. What you lack is popularity." "

"In this way, I will arrange for you to withdraw from the competition later, but you have to perform well for me in these two rounds. Just work hard and leave the rest to us."

He couldn't bear to ruin such an actor's talent.

Li Xian is different from Xiao Zan and Wang Yibo. He is a professional actor, and his accumulation in the past few years has been of great help in terms of mentality and skills.

Idols come one after another every year, but good actors cannot be cultivated just by trying to cultivate them.
