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

"The Flash's IP can be given away, but you have to give me some reason, not only for me, but also for me to give a reason to the supporters behind me, otherwise they will just think that I am lost and give up on me." Kai Wen said.

He gradually recovered from his impatience. As Xu Jia said, he had no choice.

If this is the case, then he must seriously consider Xu Jia's proposal and complete the implementation plan.

“First, ‘The Flash’, as a second-tier character in DC comics, lacks the decisive popularity compared to first-tier characters such as ‘Superman’ and ‘Batman’, which will directly lead to the need for the movie to be more popular. Publicity and distribution are necessary to make up for it, but it also means increased costs and risks.”

"Second, it is obvious that the DC movie universe planned by Warner in the past ten years is close to failure. You are the president of Warner. I think you should see this very clearly. The instability of the creative team and the group Internal strife has made the style and logic of the movie very confusing. In the past two years, there has only been one "Super Woman" movie adapted from DC Comics that has received critical acclaim. Under such circumstances, the creation of "The Flash" will only become more bumpy. "

"Thirdly, compared to Marvel IP, in the past ten years, the output of DC movie adaptations has been low, and their impact has been poor. They have not created stickiness for audiences and fans. In my opinion, the superhero genre has also become a thing of the past. , even Marvel needs a linkage like "Avengers" to attract audiences."

"The most important thing is that I can't trust Director Zack. His creative concept is too confusing. The reason why I invested heavily in "Aquaman" is because I trust James Wan. On the contrary, the Flash was handed over to Director Zack to direct. I think the same thing The audience has long disliked the style.”

Xu Jia analyzed the possibility of the failure of "The Flash" to Kevin. After talking about it carefully, he also discovered that these reasons were actually factors that led to the film's box office failure, but the most important thing was the director.

Audience popularity is something that is hard to explain clearly. In fact, many movies are considered bad by both fans and the media, but they can explode at the box office.

Some movies are regarded as masterpieces by both fans and the media, but their box office performance is very poor.

There can be many factors for success, but there is only one factor for failure, and that is not being loved by the audience.

"Xu, you really sounded the alarm for me. Before this, I always thought that the superhero series was the future, and DC Comics was the only direction for Warner. But after you said this, I realized that we at Warner can go To this day, it’s not because I own DC Comics, but because I have enough patience to create and the ability to please the fans.”

"If you blindly focus on making superheroes and ignore the perception of movie fans, the results you get will only be inconsistent. In the end, the box office of the movie is still decided by the fans."

Kevin felt more and more that the IP of The Flash could not be developed and was a huge pit. He looked at Xu Jia with gratitude in his eyes.

If he fails to host this IP, he will have no ability to struggle at all and will be replaced by Contense.

Of course, the reason why he could trust Xu Jia so quickly was because Xu Jia's previous vision was simply outrageous!

Sometimes Hollywood has this kind of thing. It seems to be fine from every aspect, and the creative team thinks it’s perfect. But when it’s time to launch it into the market, something goes wrong.

Even the audience and film critics can't say what's bad about this movie, but it just can't be loved by people. If it's even more unlucky, if the movie becomes a hit n years later, the creative team will vomit blood. Feel.

Just like "Westward Journey", it was a complete failure when it was first released, and Star Master even bankrupted his company.

It only became popular a few years later. For the creative team, it was nothing more than a huge joke, and their enthusiasm had long since evaporated with the failure of the film.

So when we see the crews reunited and looking back, they are all successful crews. Fame and fortune, as well as the nostalgia of the audience, give this crew a layer of filter.

Xu Jia shook his head and shook away the complicated thoughts in his mind. He looked at Kevin solemnly and said: "Thank you for the opportunities I have. There are only two things you have to do now. One is to ensure the smooth filming of "Aquaman"; The goal is to speed up the filming of "The Flash" as much as possible, so that these two projects will form a trend of competing in the arena, and the winner will be clear at a glance."

The longer it goes on and the more variables there are, the greater the obstacle that Contense will pose to Jiaxing.

Use this project to attract the other person's attention, and then when the work comes out, no matter how much the other person thinks about it, there will be no way to save it.

"I will."

Kevin nodded heavily, even if it was for his career, he would try his best.

As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend never dies a poor Taoist. It is naturally better for Contense to step on this landmine than to step on it himself. The other party will explode earlier, which is also a good thing for his control over the group.

……

In the following week, the crew of "Aquaman" seemed to have never had any conflicts.

After the producer left, everyone could tell that there was no movement. At least in this round, the Chinese boss from afar had won.

Lorenzo also shouldered the responsibility of becoming the leader of the entire crew. Of course, James Wan had the final say in filming and gave him ample directorial rights.

The latter reciprocated the favor, and General Muke, both inside and outside the character, was also given to Jiaxing to make his own decision.

So much so that there was a lot of commotion in the Jiaxing artist management department, and finally it all came to Xu Jia.

"I don't care who you plan to recommend, list three to five alternatives, and send them to Director James Wan for him to choose, or simply send these actors to the United States for auditions, don't do it for personal reasons. The fight for a small role for a few minutes makes people outside think that we Jiaxing artists have never filmed." Xu Jia called Yang Tianzhen and said coldly.

He is aware of the attraction of Hollywood movies to domestic actors. This is because the Chinese entertainment industry has risen a lot in recent years, and their self-confidence is stronger than before.

Five or ten years earlier, I don't know how many famous celebrities in China were willing to pay a huge price to appear in Hollywood movies.

"Hmm, I will control the intensity of internal competition. Proper competition will also be good for them. When there are three to five candidates, I will send them to the United States to audition." Yang Tianzhen said.

This involves more than just a role issue. Whether it is China or overseas, there is an xenophobic factor.

Every opportunity to show up means that the competitiveness of the same type of roles will increase in the future. Even in China, the popularity of different overseas artists in China is different. They may both be actors of the same level in Hollywood, but in China , the notification fee may be in the sky or on the ground.

This involves familiarity. Obviously, this role is regarded by many people as a ticket to enter the circle.
