Chapter 203 Killing and Killing

silence.

Deathly silence.

The sound of a needle falling could be heard throughout the room.

The box office figure of 400 million US dollars is no stranger to everyone here.

But with the addition of only the four characters of Mainland China, it is debatable.

This means that an untapped market is beckoning to them.

It is no exaggeration to say that if "Megalodon" can get this box office in China, the profit is a certainty.

After all, North America is quite keen on monster films, especially sharks.

This is why so many Hollywood companies and movie stars have gradually begun to please Chinese audiences and add Chinese elements.

In this market, even if they share a little less cake, it will be extremely sweet.

"Even if the film you said has reached a box office of 400 million US dollars, how can you guarantee that "Megalodon" can do the same?" Someone questioned.

Xu Jia immediately looked over, stared at the man with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "If Warner can guarantee that "Megalodon" can get the same number in the North American market, I can hand over the dominance, but if you If you have this ability, you won't come to me."

What he said was very rude, but no one present refuted it.

Because that is the truth.

"In addition, let me add one more point. This time, you Warner invited me. If you still have this attitude, then I don't think there is any need for us to talk."

Xu Jia stood up, glanced around, and shook his head: "I understand why Warner, which was established earlier, is not as good as Disney."

Leaving such a murderous sentence behind, he was about to turn around and leave.

"Xu, wait, I'm Kevin, the president of Warner, I should be able to talk to you directly?"

Kevin, who had been on the sidelines, knew it was his turn to play.

If the stalemate continues, today's negotiations will inevitably be deadlocked, "They didn't mean to target you, but as you said, Warner is currently in a relatively difficult period, and we need to be responsible for any decisions we make. "

In terms of personal morality, Kevin may have a disadvantage, but in terms of ability, he still has two brushes.

His explanation not only gave Xu Jia a step up, but also comforted the colleagues around him.

Xu Jia didn't plan to leave at first, so he stopped when he heard the words.

But the body did not return to sit down, this is the opportunity to strike while the iron is hot.

"You are responsible to Warner, and I am responsible to Jiaxing. We each have missions, which is understandable, but we must not give in." Xu Jia said firmly.

"I understand that Warner is willing to give a film distribution rights in Mainland China as compensation, so you can choose what you want?" Kevin said.

"For your sake, I can stay, but I hope to speed up the negotiation process."

Xu Jia pondered for a while, and when she had done enough, she nodded, and slowly sat back in her seat, "After all, Disney is still waiting for me, I don't know if I will be overwhelmed when I go back, It changed the plan."

Facing Kevin's sugar-coated cannonball, Xu Jia chose to eat it sugar-coated, and the cannonball hit back.

threaten!

The threat of red fruit.

Warner's side was furious.

How could they fail to understand Xu Jia's implication, it was nothing more than using Disney to suppress them.

The saddest thing is that they can really be suppressed.

The strength of the group is not as good as Disney, which acquired Marvel, and the IP of "Megalodon" is not as good as "Mulan".

To be honest, they themselves don't know where their advantages are.

"But Disney won't give you the initiative, will it?"

Kevin grasped the core of the problem, and said in a relaxed tone: "It is never the combination of superior conditions that can create good results. It depends on the degree of adaptation. Warner, who is more familiar with Huaxia and more willing to make concessions, is more Suitable for Jiaxing."

He wasn't offended by Xu Jia's slight offense.

On the contrary, I only feel that the group should work hard to overtake Disney.

People do Marvel, and they do DC comics. They enter the Chinese market, and Warner is naturally not far behind.

"That depends on the sincerity given by Warner."

Xu Jia sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, and he and Jiaxing were not important to these Hollywood giants.

The important thing is the growing Chinese market behind him.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Jia used the Huaxia market to deceive Tiger's prestige.

Thanks to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for the quotas imposed on imported films and keeping these Hollywood giants out, Xu Jia has room to play.

Given this restriction above, the rules for co-productions were relaxed.

On the one hand, it is to protect the development of domestic films, and on the other hand, it is to promote the learning and growth of domestic films.

However, the domestic entertainment companies are not so much a joint filming, but a leading party.

Ah, it's purely to earn domestic box office, forgetting the original intention of this regulation.

Xu Jia always had only one idea, that is to bring in and go out.

This is completely different from those leading parties.

"The investment ratio is 40% to 60%. Jiaxing will contribute 60% and we will contribute 40%. The corresponding income ratio will also be based on this one-to-one ratio. The behind-the-scenes team, or the starring lineup, let's discuss together, and the decision belongs to you."

Kevin laid out all his conditions in one breath, and it can be seen that he is already very sincere.

And it also gave in a lot, at least the same conditions, it is impossible for the other five to give.

"Basically agree, only the distribution rights other than mainland China belong to Warner, I have objections." Xu Jia frowned.

"Based on what I know about Jiaxing, your distribution system is limited to mainland China. In order to ensure income, it is best to use our Warner distribution system." Kevin explained.

"That's an old calendar. Now we have established ties with Dongying and Korea, so I hope that the distribution rights in Southeast Asia and East Asia will belong to us, and other regions will belong to you. In addition, both parties need to send a team to avoid conflicts in distribution. "

Xu Jia made it clear that he didn't trust Warner.

When it's time to divide the accounts, people will put out the confused accounts, and they may not be able to calculate the profit-making transactions at that time and still lose money.

This is a routine used by Hollywood companies. Anyway, the distribution system is in the hands of others, and they have the final say on how to handle the accounts.

Of course, Xu Jia also meant to send someone to steal the teacher.

As for the distribution rights in East Asia and Southeast Asia, it is purely for the purpose of training the distribution team and opening up channels.

Kevin took a deep look at Xu Jia. The latter was the most cautious collaborator he had ever met, and also the most able to obtain rights for himself.

It's a pity that Warner needs the Huaxia market to boost the confidence of the board of directors.

So, he said in a deep voice, "Okay, as you said."
