Chapter 216 Then What Are We?

"You have the final say." Xin Shuang said hastily.

It is an honor for him to have this opportunity to direct.

After all, in his original plan, he would have at least two or three years before he could formally take charge of the guide.

"Well, let's invite Director Zhang Rui. He is only four years older than you. You should have a common language." Xu Jia made a decision.

Zhang Rui was the director of "Remaining Sins" in his previous life. Last year, "Captain of Criminal Police" was his work, which won the 31st China TV Drama Feitian Award for Excellent TV Drama with Realistic Themes.

In terms of skill alone, at least he is more mature than the current Xin Shuang.

Xu Jia invited him here, in addition to providing insurance for the project, in fact, he also wanted to let the other party bring Xin Shuang.

Needless to say, the latter talent naturally needs time to grow.

What Xu Jia can do is to do his best to accelerate Xin Shuang's growth.

"I will cooperate with Director Zhang Rui in the filming work." Xin Shuang said.

"You don't need to be overly humble. You are the person I am optimistic about. You are Jiaxing's imperial army. You must be the main one. You are responsible for the casting work first, and try to focus on the company's artists." Xu Jia laughed.

No matter how awesome a person is, as long as it is not his person, it will be useless. This project is for Xin Shuang to practice.

Inviting Zhang Rui to come is also an escort.

If it wasn't for Xin Shuang, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse?

Xin Shuang's face was full of the touch of a man dying for his confidant.

Sometimes those engaged in literature and art may not be so sensitive to money and power, but pay more attention to the respect and honor of others.

"Work hard, after finishing this drama, I will put more burden on your shoulders next year." Xu Jia encouraged.

"yes!"

Xin Shuang happily left the office.

Seeing the brisk back of the latter, Xu Jia smacked his lips.

It is obvious that he wants to work more for the boss and make more money for the boss, but he can still be so motivated.

This simple employee, please give yourself a few more dozen!

Jingle Bell!

Xu Jiazheng was feeling emotional when the phone rang.

Seeing that it was Wang Lei who was calling, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he picked up the phone: "Hello, Mr. Wang, are you there yet?"

"I've arrived in Burbank, you should fulfill the promise you made to me," Wang Lei said.

Until now, he still felt that Xu Jia was hiding some tricks and evil intentions.

But the temptation of the prospect of the project "Mulan" finally made him come to Burbank desperately.

"It's easy to say, but before that, shouldn't you also send someone to prepare the copyright transfer agreement for "Conquering the Demons" in advance?"

Although Xu Jia was not afraid of Wang Lei breaking the contract, but in order to avoid side effects, he signed early and finished it early.

"My people will be here soon. As long as you complete the agreement, I will naturally not break my promise."

Wang Lei emphasized his tone, "But you'd better hurry up, because I'm here to hide from other companies' eyes and ears, but I don't think it will be kept secret for too long."

At that time, regardless of Huayi's prestige, everyone will only rely on their own abilities, and it is uncertain who will win.

After all, although the guys in China say that they have not accomplished enough, they have always had more than enough to fail.

"Okay, just wait."

Xu Jia hung up the phone, hesitated for a moment, and chose to call Lorenzo first.

"Hey, dear Xu, have you finally remembered your friend from the other side of the ocean?"

"I'm going to have a showdown with Robert. Next, I will withdraw from the "Mulan" project and recommend another company to take over. We will announce it after they announce the news."

Xu Jia had expected Lorenzo's enthusiasm for a long time, and now the latter is like a grasshopper on the same rope as him.

Even Lorenzo will rely on him to develop the company in the future, so he will inevitably be eager.

"That's no problem. After learning that "The Mermaid" has officially exceeded 4 billion, the board of directors agreed to let you and Jia act as the leader, but I personally suggest that you better calm Robert's emotions and don't let him know that you are using him. , otherwise, with Disney's influence, Jiaxing can't afford it." Lorenzo suggested.

Even though Warner has now become a partner with Jiaxing, it is absolutely impossible for the former to offend Disney for Jiaxing for a project.

On the contrary, as members of the Big Six, they have an offensive and defensive alliance with each other.

Of course, when it's time to strike, you will never be soft-hearted.

"Well, I know how well Joe Detduba and Jason Statham are connected. It is best to set up a team in the capital, including the location of the filming. It is also mainly based on Chinese scenes, and I will arrange a team The special effects team." Xu Jia said.

Of course he knew that Lorenzo couldn't be the master of the matter, he just asked the latter to help convey it to Warner.

Regardless of whether there are differences or not, how to argue later.

With the producer Lorenzo in the middle, there is at least a buffer zone between the two sides, so that they won't tear themselves apart.

"According to what you said, except for our certain investment share, this project is equivalent to an out-and-out Chinese movie, and it is difficult for the management to accept it." Lorenzo said truthfully.

"So you need to convey a message to the board of directors that these conditions will reduce the cost of the film, and it will be greatly reduced."

Xu Jia brought out his trump card, despite his previous conflicts with Warner's board of directors.

But the capital doesn't care about these, where the interests are, they just sit there.

Obviously, Xu Jia intends to use Warner's board of directors to deal with Warner's management.

Lorenzo could imagine that when the idiots on the board of directors heard the words of reducing costs, their limited wisdom had already been overwhelmed by greed.

"I know what to do."

After finishing speaking, Lorenzo was silent for a while, and added: "I am very glad that we are friends now. It is hard to imagine what kind of hell we will face if we become your enemies."

"Hehe, it's okay, if you look at our Huaxia's Thirty-Six Strategies, it can be so powerful." Xu Jia said casually.

"Huh? I know empty city tricks and beauty tricks. Which one of the thirty-six tricks are you talking about?" Lorenzo became interested, and he still had a certain understanding of Chinese culture.

"This is the plan."

Xu Jia smiled, "This plan is called, driving away wolves and tigers."

...

At this time, Wang Lei was pacing back and forth in the room.

In addition to him, the people who came to Burbank this time also included representatives from Media Asia Media.

The latter frowned and said: "I always feel that this matter is unreliable. Xu Jia is just a small boss, how can he persuade Robert? I am afraid that after he chose to withdraw from the project, Robert has already thrown him out of his mind."

Wang Lei glanced at this guy, his eyes filled with sarcasm and pity for the latter's ignorance.

Immediately, the representative of Huanya was furious, "Could it be that Wang is always afraid of that young man surnamed Xu?"

"If you think that a founder who can create a leading enterprise in the entertainment industry from scratch in two years, with a market value of over 10 billion, is not worth mentioning..."

Wang Lei looked at the representative of Media Asia, and said quietly: "Then what are we? Are we inferior to garbage?"
