Chapter 165 One Hundred Million Dollars

Lorenzo thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "For the time being, I can agree to the last two proposals on behalf of the company, and allow people from Jiaxing to participate in the production."

He had already considered this point.

After all, the cooperation between China and the United States is not unheard of.

Really have to be serious.

In the past, the United States also learned a lot about the production methods of Xiangjiang action movies.

Xiangjiang movies at their peak, in terms of action, can really rub people on the ground.

"Okay, as for the director, I prefer Joe Detduba, including the male lead, Jason Statham is more suitable, and the female lead is this beautiful lady beside me, Yang Mi, who can guarantee the film's popularity in China. The box office is calling, you can investigate her popularity in China."

Xu Jia directly gave the candidates for the main creative staff of the crew, which is also the creative team of the original film.

"I can understand the other two, but why must Jason Statham be the number one male?" Lorenzo asked in surprise.

He was baffled by the foreign movie stars that Chinese people valued.

For example, Keanu Reeves, who hit the box office in the United States, is still popular in China and enjoys superstar treatment.

Jason Statham is the same, this buddy has not yet reached the level of a first-line movie star in the United States.

But it's just that I have cooperated with Huaxia people a lot. I used to be a supporting role for Li Lianjie and co-produced with Shu Qi.

"Hehe, you won't understand this. The movie characters he played are relatively familiar to our country, and he also looks more like a well-known comedian in our country." Xu Jia laughed.

He really can't explain this to others, he can't say that this guy was the leading actor in this movie in his previous life.

Whether it is the United States or China.

In fact, there are metaphysical factors in the selection of actors for movies, and whether the actors and roles fit well is also very important.

Can't move easily.

Xu Jia can only try his best to ensure that the important members of the crew are still as they were in the previous life.

But Li Bingbing was obviously the one that had to be replaced.

Otherwise, where can I put my big honey?

He made this bowl of dumplings just for this vinegar.

"Okay, the two people you mentioned will be included as candidates, but whether they can be finalized depends on the actual situation." Lorenzo did not give a positive answer.

But as the producer of the project, he thought about it carefully and found that these two candidates were quite suitable.

First of all, people in the project circle of "Megalodon" know a little bit, and they all know that it is a hot potato.

Well-known directors will not take over, and well-known actors will not take over easily.

They all love their feathers.

The Warner Group, which has limited judgment on the prospects of the project, is naturally unwilling to spend a lot of money to invite celebrities to join.

The two guys recommended by Xu Jia happened to be on the same page.

From this point of view, this guy's plan for "Megalodon" is by no means a day or two. It is very likely that he has investigated for more than a year before he can make such an accurate judgment.

Reminiscent of Xu Jia's familiarity with the project, Lorenzo only felt that the man in front of him was hiding something, and felt a little awed in his heart.

Xu Jia didn't notice this foreigner, and because of some misunderstandings, he was in awe of himself.

He showed a friendly smile and said: "The rest of the tedious details will be left to our two teams to worry about. Tomorrow is Jiaxing's annual meeting, and it is also the first time we have held an annual meeting since our establishment. I wonder if you are interested in participating?"

Lorenzo's eyes lit up. This is a good opportunity to get to know each other, and it is also an occasion to enhance the relationship between the two parties.

"As long as your company doesn't feel disturbed, we are naturally honored." Lorenzo said.

"That's settled. I'll introduce some friends to you tomorrow. They must also want to know you very much." Xu Jia said with a smile.

He also wants to deepen communication with Lorenzo, who is also the producer of "Transformers 4".

In "Transformers 4", Huaxia Capital joined.

It can be seen that this buddy actually has a lot of dealings with Huaxia Entertainment Company.

It shows that Xu Jia has the hope of continuing to cooperate with him, and he can use this springboard to spy on overseas markets.

After the group of foreigners left one after another, Yang Mi came back to her senses.

Until now, I just feel that everything just now is like a dream.

"No, Xu Jia, do you really intend to co-produce with Warner? That's not 100 million RMB, but an investment of 100 million U.S. dollars!" Yang Mi reminded.

Looking at the major companies in China, there are not many companies with Xu Jia's courage.

Not counting the follow-up publicity expenses, the total amount exceeds one billion yuan.

"If money is in your hands, you have to spend it. Could it be that lying in the account will help the company's development?"

Knowing that she would be criticized, Xu Jiaqing patiently explained: "It doesn't mean that we must enter the international market when we collaborate with others on "Megalodon", but we can use this opportunity to get in touch with international standards, and we can learn from it, even if we lose money. At least you can make up for it in other ways.”

"For example, in terms of special effects, our special effects department can grow a lot by taking this opportunity, including the production team and your personal participation in performances. These are all visible bonuses. If you lose money, you can just pay tuition fees."

Xu Jia looked indifferent, but in fact he knew in his heart that there was basically no possibility of losing money, on the contrary, he could make a lot of money.

While making money, it can also bring a lot of growth to the company. Where can I find such a good thing?

Not to mention the influence that the film brought to Jiaxing after its success.

"Well, you just have to know what's in your mind. I'm just worried that if you dive headlong into the so-called international market, the loss outweighs the gain."

Yang Mi sighed, "In the past few years, there have been countless companies clamoring to get out. Most of them paid their tuition fees and returned them to lick their wounds. Some of them went bankrupt because of this, and few of them managed to make a name for themselves. .”

Xu Jia is quite aware of this, and even Jiahe, which launched the real international superstar Cheng Long, has actually been manipulated by others.

very simple.

That's their market, you can play with you however you want.

Those vampires on Wall Street didn't get any favors, let alone foreign capital like Huaxia.

"That's why Warner Group came to us to cooperate. With their overseas distribution capabilities, coupled with the growing Chinese market, the risks are within an acceptable range, and the company's current funds are sufficient to support losses." Xu Jia comforted. .

Naturally, he will not be as inflated as Yang Mi thought, but he will not miss this great opportunity for development.

Seeing Xu Jia's resolute attitude, Zeng Jia and others who came after hearing the news simply gave up the idea of ​​persuasion, and devoted themselves to this co-production project.

Since it is unavoidable, let's concentrate on making this movie well, and learn from other people's advanced experience, so as to live up to Mr. Xu's expectations.

And in this tense atmosphere.

The annual meeting has begun.
