Chapter 199 "Mulan"

"Actually, when I came to the United States this time, I originally planned to go to Warner Group."

Xu Jia first used Warner, who is also in the top six of American Entertainment, to support the scene, to show that Jiaxing is not unknown.

But by the end of next year, the Sixth National Congress will become the Fifth National Congress.

Because Disney is going to buy 20th Century Fox.

as expected.

Robert raised his eyebrows, obviously interested.

"But Warner broke their promises, and the agreement that was about to be signed was suspended by them. They wanted to sit on the ground and raise the price, so I changed my mind and came to Burbank."

When Xu Jia said this, he paused, shrugged and said, "Of course, it's not that I think Disney is a candidate, but before that, I think Warner may be more familiar with the Chinese market than you."

"Indeed."

Robert did not object to this, and added: "However, we are also very interested in the Chinese market. In the Pudong area of ​​your Huaxia Magic City, there is a Disneyland that has already been built. We plan to open the park in June this year, and 13 In 2019, there was a plan to build the company's first and the world's largest Disney flagship store in Lujiazui financial and business district."

This is also one of the reasons why he met Xu Jia. With the upcoming opening of the Disneyland in the Modu area.

They are bound to cast more eyes on this eastern land, not to mention the huge and untapped consumer groups here.

Xu Jia curled his lips calmly.

That's not the case, the piece of land approved by the magic capital alone is extremely expensive.

Not to mention the opening of a 5,000-square-meter Disney store in Lujiazui, where land is at a premium.

Later, after the opening of the park, the turbulent crowd and crazy money-absorbing ability also made Disney a lot of money.

Although Xu Jia can't do this business, after all, Disney is also a brand that has been built over decades.

But taking this opportunity, it is still possible to bite off a piece of meat.

It is reasonable for them to earn money from Chinese people and suck the blood of foreigners themselves.

"Then congratulations. If there is a chance, I will go to Shanghai to cheer and learn." Xu Jia muttered inwardly, without hindering the flattery at all, and really started thinking about it.

Even if he didn't go by himself, he should tell Zeng Jia and others to go.

Anyway, they just happened to set up a branch in Shanghai, and visited Disneyland to see how they make the entertainment peripherals so extreme.

It's not that making others' ambition destroy one's own prestige, but that Disney is really that awesome.

People can acquire companies of the same level in the 21st century, and their projects can still thrive in the face of a sluggish global economy.

This is enough for Jiaxing to learn.

There is a saying.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. If you want to stand up and make money, you have to learn. It is the so-called learning from foreigners to control foreigners.

"Mr. Xu, you haven't said the purpose of your visit this time, is it just a drop in?"

Robert frowned. If that was the case, then his evaluation of Xu Jia might be lowered a bit.

Xu Jia didn't panic at all, and said calmly: "Of course not, it's just that some accidents will see you directly, and I'm afraid to be presumptuous if I pick out the purpose."

He didn't hide his true feelings at all.

Whether it was the Warner Group as the initial destination, or being summoned suddenly by Robert this time.

With the latter's status and information channels, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide it.

But Xu Jia hid a part of the key information, nine of the revealed things were true and one was false, and the meaning naturally changed.

Robert's eyes became friendly, and he appreciated Xu Jia's 'not deceiving' himself.

"It doesn't matter. You can raise it boldly. Even if it doesn't succeed, it won't affect the relationship between us. Sometimes in business negotiations, you need to take bold steps. Whether you succeed or not is left to fate, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Xu Jia took a deep breath, and his gaze became persistent.

After finishing this performance, he slowly opened his mouth: "Maybe you don't know, my earliest impression of Disney began with "Mulan" on TV fifteen years ago, although it was released in 1998, But it was not introduced to the mainland until two years later. It was hard to imagine that this animation was filmed by foreigners. At that time, I had a small wish in my heart, that is, to film "Mulan" that belongs to China. This is our story, and we should write it..."

Yang Mi on the side was still listening carefully at first, but then the corner of her mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, and she almost spat on Xu Jia's face.

Fifteen years ago, this guy obviously liked Japanese anime such as "Digimon" and "Pokemon".

Even if I watched "Mulan", I would never have such a ghostly wish.

It was obvious that he was fooling Robert.

But I have to say that this is what foreigners do.

Robert listened attentively to Xu Jia's narration, and nodded from time to time to express his appreciation and approval.

Especially when they heard Xu Jia's last sentence about Huaxia's story, which should be written by their own people, they clapped their hands and applauded: "I can completely understand your passionate emotions."

Robert had heard about the stubborn patriotism of the Chinese people, which made him feel that what Xu Jia said was true.

"Yes, culture knows no borders, but I hope that we can use our perspective to rewrite the chapter of "Mulan". Just last year, director Xu Chengyi returned from DreamWorks and proposed the concept of live-action animation. "Record" and achieved a box office of over 400 million US dollars in China, at that time, I had a new idea, why not adapt "Mulan" with a global fan base into a live-action animation film?"

Xu Jia's tone was up and down, and the fabricated blueprint immediately attracted everyone in.

Especially the box office of over 400 million US dollars.

Robert didn't pay attention to the previous words, until this point, he immediately straightened up slightly.

He doesn't know about "Monster Hunt", but he knows about DreamWorks, where the director Xu Chengyi was born.

This means that Chinese people are not unacceptable to the aesthetics of American animated films.

It seems that... there is something wrong.

Even Yang Mi held her breath, realizing the meaning revealed by this project.

Compared with "Megalodon", the IP of "Mulan" is obviously more familiar to Chinese people and even global audiences.

And compared to other nondescript themes, the background of "Mulan" is in China, so everything is logical.

Most importantly, this is a movie with a big heroine!

If I got the role of Hua Mulan, wouldn't I be promoted to the coffee position in a blink of an eye?

It turned out that Xu Jia told herself earlier that she would help her enter the international film industry, and there was no lie!
