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

Zhang Jun left with satisfaction.

After this guy learned about Wanda's predicament from Xu Jia, he understood that what Xu Jia mentioned was true.

Don't think that big companies can do everything in detail.

In fact, it also has its own blind spots. Although Wanda is short of capital and those with better information channels are aware of it, few people would think that they can benefit from it.

It can only be said that from this point of view, Xu Jia's courage and imagination are much greater than ordinary people.

Who would dare to think of taking advantage when seeing a lion just injured?

"Are you sure you don't want to attend the celebration party for "Wolf Warrior 2"? Sister Zeng and Director Wu are both asking. It's not too late to go now."

Miao Yuqing followed in and asked.

Given the distance between Jiaxing and the restaurant, if Xu Jia changes his mind, he can arrive there within ten minutes.

Initially, everyone thought that Xu Jia planned to go later, but now it seems that he really has no intention of participating.

"I won't go. Everyone won't feel comfortable when I go. Why bother? I can just go back and have a special meal with Director Wu and the others. There are also red envelopes to be distributed to me."

Xu Jia waved his hand. Although the others had not arrived, there were still many red envelopes.

"Okay, then I'll reply to them, so you don't have to wait for us."

Miao Yuqing nodded, not surprised by Xu Jia's answer.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xu Jia is gradually withdrawing from his involvement in the company's daily affairs.

But the influence has not diminished at all, but has added a bit of mystery and majesty.

Xu Jia leaned back and closed his eyes slightly.

Just as he said to Zhang Jun, even if Jiaxing has been dominating the list for four consecutive months, it has reached a critical point where many film and television companies are breaking out.

As beautiful as Jiaxing is, the undercurrent is raging in private.

Apart from anything else, regarding the disastrous failure of "Operation Mekong", can Beijing, Hong Kong and Wansanquan, which participated in the investment, bear this tone?

You must know that this film will definitely make money according to the trend of its release.

Just because of the suppression of "Wolf Warrior 2", I lost all my money.

But looking at it from another angle, it was the disastrous failure of "Operation Mekong" that shrank those guys who were ready to take action.

Before taking action, think about whether you can withstand such pressure.

What follows is a rare vacuum period for Jiaxing Films. Film projects are in preparation, which leaves room for other films to breathe.

It also allowed the raging fire in Jiaxing to cool down a little.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is the right thing to practice your inner strength and settle down your flashiness.

dong dong.

While he was thinking about it, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Brother Jia, there was a stick in the living room, claiming to be the director of our company's project, but our people were not sure and stopped him. You see..." Miao Yuqing said.

Most of the company's energy is focused on the domestic market. Only Liao Liao has made a few investments abroad, but Gao Li seems to have never heard of it.

"Gaoli? Does that person have curly hair and wear small glasses?"

"Yes, that's him."

"That is indeed the director of our company's project. It is a small production I invested in before, but I have always been contacted directly by Sister Zeng. I didn't expect this guy to find the company."

Xu Jia slapped his head, isn't it Bong Joon-ho, the Korean director who invested in the filming of "Parasite".

It was supposed to go through Zeng Jia, but Zeng Jia was currently at the celebration party for "Wolf Warrior 2" and probably didn't have the energy to pay attention to the Korean director.

It can only be said that the rapid development of the domestic market has made them less focused on overseas markets.

Especially for Goryeo, they used to be the underdogs of Chinese films, but they have only found their own way in recent years, so it’s hard to say how much they value it.

The key point is that it is not that easy to make money from others, and Korea has always been very strict about the introduction of overseas films.

"Ah, it's true. Can I invite you over?" Miao Yuqing said in surprise.

"Bring it here and make me a cup of tea. Since you are here, you must have something serious to do." Xu Jia said.

After a while, the man with curly hair and glasses entered the office.

The moment he saw Xu Jia, Bong Joon-ho's face was full of excitement. He came up and bowed ninety degrees: "Thank you for your trust in me! I am here this time to live up to your expectations and personally deliver the finished film to you." coming."

Xu Jia really didn't react when he came out so unexpectedly.

After hearing Bong Joon-ho's words, he came back to his senses. This was a movie.

He guessed that he had been busy with other things, and Zeng Jia had no time to take care of the other party due to company affairs, but he was very good at investing.

This kind of production company that gives creators enough space is simply rare in the industry.

While Bong Joon-ho felt that he was trusted and valued, he was also worried about whether he could continue to follow up on his subsequent investment.

After all, this investment is nothing in Xu Jia's eyes, but in Korea, it is also a considerable production cost.

"Okay, don't worry. Let's have a cup of tea first. We can just send the finished film to the review room."

Xu Jia waved to the other party to sit down, and then asked Miao Yuqing to bring a cup of tea, and then said calmly: "Were there any difficulties during the filming?"

"No, no, with your company as my support, I am still well taken care of by JYP in Korea." Bong Joon-ho waved his hand.

In fact, he is also a well-known director in Korea, and normally there is no shortage of investment.

It's just that the content of "Parasite" is too sensitive and it is difficult to recover profits. This is why Xu Jia was given the opportunity to invest.

Otherwise, Bong Joon-ho, who made "The Han River Monster" and "Snowpiercer", really has no shortage of investment.

"Then what are your plans for coming this time?"

Xu Jia has already made plans for the movie, but he is not in a hurry to show his trump card.

"It's about the release. I need you to follow up here. I plan to send the film to Cannes and Korea's Grand Bell Awards and other awards. You can also apply for Chinese awards." Bong Joon-ho said.

Normally, for a film that is not commercially focused, if you want to make a profit, you have to win major awards. If you can win an award, your net worth will increase a lot.

If it were a grand prize, it would be doubled online.

Of course, there is also a very important purpose, which is to let film producers from various countries see this movie.

One country sells it for one million, ten countries sell it for 10 million, wouldn’t it recover more than half of the cost? What's more, the prices offered by the established powerful countries in Europe will be on the high side, and you can still make a profit just by selling overseas copyrights.

This is the line of literary and artistic films. "Parasite" may not be so literary in the strict sense.

What's more, various awards also require funds to operate.

Whether it's Cannes, Oscars, or the more independent Berlin International Film Festival, it all depends on a network.

Especially the latter, there are so many films in the selection, and just to get hundreds of judges to see your film, it will cost a lot of money and give you a lot of gifts.

Before Ang Lee won the award for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the former spent half his life just meeting people from all walks of life.

Awards operations are more tiring than making movies.
