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

While talking, Cheng Long and Sean Levy also arrived one after another.

These two guys were relatively strangers last time, but this time they were already hanging around, as if they were acquaintances.

"Welcome you two, it really makes me wait."

Xu Jia smiled, welcomed the two of them into the office, and said, "Director Sean, how did you think of my proposal last time?"

As a producer and director of many successful projects, the other party's appetite is naturally not just about director's remuneration.

Xu Jia just handed over the North American market to the other party. He would rather give the other party more share to increase the other party's motivation. Otherwise, do you really think that Hollywood directors will not be passive and slow down?

"If I was going to say no, I wouldn't be here."

Shawn Levy made a joke, and then said with a straight face: "I have reached a distribution agreement with Universal Pictures, and then the distribution of the film in the North American market will be handed over to them."

On the surface, it seems to be driven by his relationship, but in fact, Universal Pictures values ​​Jiaxing and Cheng Long's face more.

Both Disney and Warner have more or less contact and cooperation with Jiaxing. As a film giant that relies on the Chinese film market, Universal Pictures naturally wants to establish contact with each other.

Moreover, the "Out-of-control Player" project seemed reliable. As for using the identity of the landowner to deceive Jiaxing, they had no idea at all.

Harvey's ending is there, although Xu Jia has always claimed that the matter has nothing to do with him.

Anyone who has a little understanding of the ins and outs of the MeToo movement will find that the launch of this movement is inextricably linked to Xu Jia.

"Universal Pictures, it's okay. I'll send Mr. Zeng to talk to you about the specific distribution later. She is the current manager of Jiaxing's specific affairs."

Xu Jia nodded. It would be more appropriate to leave this kind of negotiation related to interests to his subordinates. As a boss, if you don't end it personally, then the negotiation will not collapse no matter how intense it is.

This is related to the relationship between the manager and the artist, the artist's advertising fee, no matter how the manager and the management argue, it will not affect the relationship between the artist and the management, and there is room for maneuver.

"Brother Cheng Long, how are the schedules going? I want to recreate the influence and appeal you had at your peak in this big production, so please be fully committed to it."

Xu Jia was a bit polite when he spoke to Cheng Long, but he was not lacking in toughness.

He didn't pay 150 million US dollars just to play house with the Kung Fu superstar. If the other party wanted to play for fun, it would be better to break up as soon as possible.

However, as long as the other party is not a fool, it should be clear that both parties are a community with the same interests.

If the movie is successful, both parties will benefit from the cooperation. Jiaxing will gain a lot of international film reputation and profits, and Cheng Long will return to the peak of his reputation, and he will not worry about anyone paying a lot of money to hire him to make movies again.

But if the movie fails, both parties will face the same bleak ending, and even Jiaxing will be much stronger than Cheng Long.

After all, with the support of the Chinese film market, it is not a problem at all to return to recuperate after a failure.

"I have already dealt with the chores in advance. After I join the team, I will devote all my energy to the movie. If I cannot avoid it, I will report it back to the team." Cheng Long agreed, his attitude was very low, First, Xu Jia respects him enough and gives him enough money and treatment. Second, the only one who is willing to invest such a large amount of money in his movie is Jiaxing.

Besides, these things are the obligations of an actor, but his position is too big, so he doesn't need to comply with them in many cases.

But this time is different, he also wants to return to the top.

"That's good. Since both of you know what's going on, the "Out of Control Player" project will be launched today. The preparation location will be at the Jiaxing headquarters. Any future affairs will be handled here. If you have any needs, you can also contact the system. Filmmaker Lorenzotti, he will help you solve it."

After saying that, Xu Jia gave up his seat and introduced Lorenzo to the two of them. However, the latter was also well-known in Hollywood and the three of them were no strangers. "Today, there is also a project launch conference about "The Out-of-control Player". The stage I leave it to you three, and I wish you all success as soon as possible."

His main task is to put the core of the project together, and how to build it next is left to the three of them.

Zeng Jia will also host the press conference later.

With Cheng Long here, the gimmick no longer requires him, the chairman, to personally perform the stunt.

……

Once yesterday's press conference was held, it immediately caused a sensation at home and abroad.

Although Xu Jia mentioned it before, the media and the public have seen this kind of unfounded news a lot.

At first, I thought it was just a joke, but I never thought it would actually come true.

The most valuable domestic film and television company cooperates with the most internationally renowned domestic superstar to create a science fiction action film. If it were not for Cheng Long clearly siding with Zeng Jia, and working with director Sean Levy and producer Loren Zuo sat together and announced the news to the media, but probably not many people believed it.

The most important thing is that this project is different from "The Meg" and "Parasite". Those two movies were mainly invested by Jiaxing, and the crew was led by overseas filmmakers, but "The Runaway Player" was started by Jiaxing .

This is to expand overseas, which is countless times better than those domestic film companies that are confused and confused.

Overseas media have expressed that the international film market is in danger.

It's just that most people just regard it as another upstart waving money who wants a piece of the pie, and sooner or later they will leave in despair.

Only the Hollywood giants know that Jiaxing's comers are not good and are not easy to deal with.

The next day, Xu Jia's cell phone was almost full of calls.

He reluctantly picked up one of them and heard Wang Sicong's voice on the other end of the phone.

"Old Xu, seeing as we had such a pleasant cooperation with "The Wandering Earth", how about shooting this project in our studio? The price is negotiable." Wang Sicongba had to ask for money to bring "The Runaway Player" to Wanda If you shoot in a studio, as long as your reputation is established, you won't be able to make any money back.

"You have to talk to the crew about this matter. I'm just a hands-off shopkeeper, giving them a start. What happens next depends on the needs of the crew." Xu Jia responded perfunctorily.

He has just delegated power to the crew, how could he break his promise now? Besides, the recording studio is actually very important, because most of the scenes in "The Outlaw Player" actually require special effects, so it can only be decided by the crew to truly meet their needs. The place.

And he agreed to Wang Shicong, what if other people came to intercede later? A $1.5 million movie project would be a coveted piece of fat wherever it was placed.

As expected, Hengdian Group contacted various local officials one after another, all trying to find Xu Jia to get the deal directly from the source. The various conditions and promises promised were dazzling.

Regarding this, Xu Jia just said, "Look for the crew, we are just a hands-off shopkeeper now, and we don't bother to care."
