Chapter 607 I Won’t Tolerate It
Xu Jia thought of it and called Liu Wei from MiHoYo.
The latter felt a little flattered when he received the call.
After all, compared to MiHoYo, who was regarded as his younger brother in Shanghai at this time, Xu Jia's various operations in live streaming e-commerce are now a hot figure in the business world.
He used to think that Xu Jia was just a bad movie maker. What did he know about two-dimensional games?
Now I want to hug each other's thigh tightly. The heat will be leaked to Mihayou a little bit, which is enough for them to save a lot of publicity funds.
During this period, after accepting Xu Jia’s shareholding.
He enjoyed the spotlight that he had never enjoyed before. He was seriously studied by many companies and extended olive branches one after another.
These people may not understand MiHoYo's operating model and may not necessarily be optimistic about it, but they believe in Xu Jia's vision and this is enough.
"Mr. Xu, have you come to Shanghai?" Liu Wei could think of the first reason why the other party called him, and that was it.
"That's not true. I just have something to do with you. A new battle royale-type shooting game has recently been released overseas, called PUBG. I plan to discuss licensing issues with the game official. I plan to change it into a mobile game when I get it in China. I would like to ask. Do you have the production capabilities of MiHoYo?" Xu Jia asked.
The money scene of this mobile game is no less than that of Genshin Impact, and it is also a powerful tool for Penguin Games to expand overseas.
Especially in India, the mobile chicken game is very popular across the country. According to online comments, only in this game can low-caste people stand on the head of high-caste people.
Brahmins are not as high-status as the chicken-eating God of War.
Although it is a sarcastic joke, the popularity of this game can also be felt from the side.
Even in the previous life of 2020, the annual revenue of this mobile game was US$2.7 billion, making it the most profitable game of the year.
"Well, as long as there are mobile game types on the market, we are capable of making them." Liu Wei said.
Are you kidding? They started out by making mobile games, but they are not interested in games other than two-dimensional games.
Otherwise, MiHoYo would not be considered risky by investors because its revenue source is too single.
"I'll fund the production for you. This won't delay the work of your headquarters, right?"
Xu Jia also thought about doing it all by himself so that he could enjoy the cake all to himself, but his goal was too big now.
Whenever you do something, too many pairs of eyes are watching you.
Jiaxing has its own game department, but its technology is limited. It's okay to make a web game, but it's a little weak in mobile games.
What's more, it is a battle royale type mobile game, so the difficulty level is relatively high.
On the whole, he should leave it to MiHoYo. He can rest assured that the latter has the technical ability to make it as quickly as possible, and the founder Liu Wei and others are not very scheming and are easier to control.
If Liu Wei and the others had been more scheming, the Genshin Impact in his previous life would not have been in the news because of financial problems.
It's definitely not possible to partner with this kind of person, but it's absolutely reassuring to cooperate with this kind of person.
"It won't be delayed. If you negotiate the authorization, I can start it at any time." Liu Wei said.
For others, he would be too lazy to make games other than the two-dimensional game, but who made Xu Jia the boss of the company now, and he also became interested in the battle royale game Xu Jia mentioned.
There shouldn't be many games that interest Xu Jia, so he should study them carefully.
…
May 1st.
A Wanda Cinema somewhere in Beijing.
The premiere of "Sewing Machine Band" begins here.
Xu Jia walked along the red carpet with Yang Mi on her arm, which was not something she would do in the first place.
A low-budget movie can't do that.
But in Zeng Jia's words, this time it was nominally a premiere for "Sewing Machine Band", but actually it was a preview for the upcoming Jiaxing movie.
In addition, the main creative personnel of multiple projects will come to participate.
"How are the preparations for your "Baby" going?" Xu Jia asked Yang Mi while waving to reporters.
Since the live broadcast, his popularity among the public has gradually increased.
Now he even has his own fan team, but he is also drunk and doesn't understand why he is fanning his own boss...
"The progress is average, mainly because there is a lot of preparation work. I discussed with Director Liu that except for the three main roles, professional actors will be used, and the rest will be played by amateurs to pursue realism. In addition, in addition to going to the hospital for internship experience, I also need to professionally Let’s learn the Jinling dialect again.”
"The most important thing is that the director does not have a complete script, only a five-page summary. When the time comes, he can shoot wherever he wants."
Yang Mi has not been exposed to this kind of literary and artistic film for many years, and she is really not used to it.
However, it is precisely this kind of roughness that makes it easier to win the favor of film festivals. If it is too complete, it will be regarded as too commercial.
"How about the three main characters?"
Xu Jia didn't intend to interfere too much. He trained Yang Mi on this project.
Whether it's good or bad, it's up to Damimi to make the decision. If it were him, it would be impossible to shoot the show without a complete script, and he would spend tens of millions just for fun.
Even Jiang Wen has no willful power here.
Of course, there is basically no chance for the two of them to cooperate. They are both relatively strong people at heart.
On the other hand, people like Cheng Long, Uncle Benshan, and Xing Ye, although they all have their own principles, they have all gone through many hardships and know how to compromise. This is the key to making movies.
"Currently, only Guo Jingfei and I have been selected, but the remaining disabled child is not easy to choose. He is still in the audition stage. The director has some feelings for an actor named Li Hongqi and thinks his eyes are suitable..."
Yang Mi hesitated for a moment, then said: "But that actor was promoted through hard work, and I don't really want their hands to reach out to me."
This is also the consistent style of the Xiangjiang and Wanwan film circles, that is, if there is any loophole, they will let people from their own areas get in, thereby creating their network of contacts.
But if you use your own money to praise someone, you always use mainland capital to praise your own people, and then you turn around and pretend to be a cup of tea, so who can get used to it?
"Then don't think about it. I know this actor. He auditioned for "The Sewing Machine Band" before. I heard that someone over there in Wanwan approached Dapeng to intercede for him. After Zeng Jia found out, he was kicked out, regardless of who he was. No matter what his character is, if I don’t like the person behind him, I won’t consider using him.”
Xu Jia would not be used to these declining filmmakers. It would be fine if he kept his tail between his legs or took the initiative to blend in. If he formed a small circle in his own place, he would deal with each one.
"Then recommend one to me."
Yang Mi knew Xu Jia's ability in selecting actors.
As for the actor, he was eliminated as soon as he was eliminated, and she didn't take it seriously at all.
