Chapter 197 The Two Idiots From the Next Village

Lorenzo put together two pieces of information.

Immediately came to a conclusion.

Shit, there is actually a colleague who wants to pry someone!

This does not obviously mean that Xu Jia has found a new partner.

This flight to the United States probably means that the two sides have reached a critical stage.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Yang Mi to accompany her in person, and it is very likely that she went to meet the director because of the female number one.

"Columbia Entertainment, or Disney?"

Lorenzo announced the name of the suspected company, observed Xu Jia's reaction, and racked his brains to dissuade him: "Columbia Entertainment Company is owned by Suo Ni, and those Dongying people are not particular about their work, so there must be something hidden in it." Worrying, as for Disney, those guys are full of copyright and animation, even if it is a live-action movie, they will never allow you to take the lead."

"It's not like Warner, we are not only willing to give up the dominance to you, but also the revenue share can be divided into five or five, or even lower."

In order to bring Xu Jia back, he gave up all the face and dignity of the five major entertainment companies in the United States.

Anyway, it's the company's face that's lost, so what does it matter to him?

Xu Jia raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure the revenue share can be lower?"

"Well……"

Lorenzo didn't expect that Xu Jia would respond so soon.

And still on such a tricky question.

Thinking of the company's urging to him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, but I need further communication with the headquarters, but I can guarantee that you will be satisfied."

Hey, this is a bit of a mean to eat inside and outside.

It is obvious that he is taking the interests of the company in exchange for his joining.

Xu Jiarao watched Lorenzo with interest, his mind wandering back and forth.

Could it be that this foreigner has become restless?

"This is a matter between you and Warner. All I want is the result, and I don't stay in New York for long. I will give you two days at most. After that, I will fly to Europe."

Naturally, Xu Jia wouldn't give Warner too much time to react, just in case he contacted a domestic competitor.

Isn't it revealed?

After chatting about business affairs, Xu Jia asked meaningfully: "What was the proposal I gave you last time, about the introduction and investment of American films."

In fact, he is not particularly interested in the introduction of overseas films.

The main reason is that the amount of this piece is limited, and a maximum of 25% of the box office is given.

In the eyes of overseas entertainment companies, no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat.

But from Xu Jia's point of view, there was really no need to bother just for this little meat.

In case you don't eat much meat, it will make your whole body fishy.

What he really values ​​is Sino-foreign co-productions, which is called [Sino-foreign co-production films].

There are actually three types of co-produced films, co-produced, co-produced and commissioned.

Among them, joint production refers to a form of production in which domestic and foreign production companies jointly invest (including funds, labor services or physical objects), jointly produce, share benefits and bear risks together; The Chinese party only provides paid services such as venues, equipment, and labor services to assist; commissioned filming is a foreign party commissioned to film in China.

Among the three types, the copyrights of the latter two co-productions and entrusted productions belong to the foreign party.

If you want to enter the Chinese mainland market, you need to deal with it as an imported film.

Xu Jia would definitely not choose this path, so she would purely make wedding dresses for others.

So the co-productions he made today refer to the first type, co-productions. To put it bluntly, they are co-productions that can enjoy the treatment of domestic films.

And 15 years later, there are more and more companies doing co-productions.

The main reason is actually the entry of capital, and the big guys have money.

Each pig's nose is inserted with onions, trying to pretend to be a foreign image.

In the memory of Xu Jia's previous life, in co-productions, not many people can make money.

It is often the overseas producers who have cheated the Chinese side.

After all, if people want to make a fuss on the books, it's just like playing.

But Xu Jia has an advantage that domestic production companies do not have, that is, Jiaxing's achievements in China are outstanding.

"The Mermaid" has been released for eight days, and the box office has already reached 2.5 billion. It is only a matter of time before it breaks 4 billion.

Converted into US dollars, there are more than 300 million.

Don't say that foreigners don't care, their eyes are red.

This is a film market that is gradually maturing, and they naturally want to get a piece of it.

Coincidentally.

Xu Jia also took a fancy to the vast overseas market.

This is the basis for cooperation.

Lorenzo in front of him is an important pawn and foothold for Xu Jia to expand overseas.

"I think the plan you mentioned is very promising. Internationalization is an irresistible trend nowadays, and the entertainment industry should do the same. This also brings different perspectives and cultural exchanges to the people of each other."

Lorenzo replied very righteously, in fact, he was euphemistically expressing his interest in Xu Jia's proposal.

But this product is still Warner's producer on the surface, and the elbow should not be too obvious.

more importantly.

If it is said that this guy cooperates with Xu Jia for the sake of cultural exchanges between the two countries and for the benefit of the company, then Xu Jia firmly does not believe it.

Being so awkward is nothing more than being a watch and wanting to set up a memorial archway.

"What you said is exactly what I expected. I tell you this because I value you, Lorenzo, not Warner behind. What I really want to cooperate with is Di Bonaventura Films." Xu Jia paused word by word.

The so-called Di Bonaventura Films was the company founded by Lorenzo.

The corner of the latter's mouth was raised first, but he quickly suppressed it, and said with a serious face: "But if this is known to the headquarters, many things cannot be explained clearly..."

"Does Warner still restrict employees from making friends with customers?"

Xu Jia stretched out her hand, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, "Really, Lorenzo, my friend."

"It's an honor to be your friend. I think cultural exchanges between the two countries are imperative." Lorenzo shook hands knowingly.

Yang Mi watched the two elders shake hands enthusiastically and communicated, and couldn't help but feel sad for Warner.

With this pair of crouching dragon and phoenix chicks, even the world's top 500 will probably be bitten off...

But cooperation is something later.

What matters right now is the "Megalodon" project.

Even though the two of them had already 'colluded together', Xu Jia still kept a hand.

Did not reveal the truth about the smoke bomb.

He just patted his chest and repeatedly assured the other party that as long as the revenue sharing can be negotiated lower, he is willing to give Lorenzo a face and restart negotiations with Warner.

Lorenzo was moved for a while, thinking that his face really played a role.

He also promised Xu Jia that the contract will be more favorable to Jiaxing after returning home.

So much so that after Yang Mi learned the result of the discussion between the two.

Looking at Lorenzo all the way, it was like looking at the second idiot in the next village.
