Chapter 689 Invincible Hand
Liu Yifei might not believe what Xu Jia said before, and just thought that the other party was being alarmist.
But after the changes in both parties in the past few years, she no longer dared to have any contempt for the man in front of her.
Just as Wang Zhonglei thought, in the future, whoever wants to survive in the entertainment industry in China will have to rely on this person, and at least they must not offend him in the slightest.
"Mr. Xu, what do you think I should do?" Liu Yifei asked.
Are you saying that my popularity will definitely decline if I continue like this? Then I will throw the question back to you and see how you answer it.
After all, since the other party found her here, it was definitely not just to ridicule herself.
"It's very simple. Join Jiaxing and we will re-plan the artist's route for you. Although there is no guarantee that you can return to the top, it is enough to be much stronger than your current situation."
Xu Jia spoke confidently. In his opinion, Liu Yifei was simply a representative of a good hand played badly.
It is hard to imagine that a top-notch actress who was at the peak of her career has not released a masterpiece for nearly ten years.
And to still be able to stand among the ranks of first-line actresses, we have to mention her terrifying popularity and deep health bar. If Jiaxing's manager had such an artist under her, I don't know what she would feel in her heart. How beautiful.
No masterpiece can be popular, let alone such an artist with emotional bonus.
With this card in Xu Jia's hand, how many kings can be formed, but all these require the opponent's so-called international movie star character to be polished off first.
Otherwise, it would be useless for Jiaxing to always think about developing into big productions and the film industry.
Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment. Even if both parties knew their respective ideas, there should be a foreshadowing and test in her concept. She never expected Xu Jia to be so honest.
For a moment, she didn't know how to answer. After a long while, she slowly said: "According to your statement, it seems that you are very sure about the failure of "Mulan". The movie has just been released, and everything is still undecided."
"You have also watched the finished film yourself. Let's not talk about the international market, let's talk about the domestic market. Do you think the Chinese people can accept this kind of flashy and foreign-looking stuff? The movie is nothing more than seeking the audience's cultural recognition, breaking away from this and that. It’s all in vain, and it’s clear from the audience’s reaction that they didn’t accept the film very well.”
Xu Jia looked directly at Liu Yifei's evasive eyes and chuckled: "Even if the international market responds well, if you lose the domestic market, what will it do to you? Don't tell me that you think you can survive without the domestic market. To survive in overseas markets, it is no longer an era when the overseas moon is rounder than the domestic one. Anyone who believes in this is simply a fool."
He doesn't mind using dirty words to wake up the other party's sweet dreams. If the other party remains stubborn, even Liu Yifei will not be accepted into the company.
In Jiaxing's system, there is no need for someone to blindly worship the overseas market. What he has to do is to challenge the inherent order of the global film market. When entering overseas, he also wants to steal meat from others, not like the previous Huayi and others. Companies generally beg for charity from others and even give up their own advantages to integrate with others.
The cruel and bloody realities have told those who come after them that whoever believes in the nonsense of those with vested interests is a fool. What's more, the imperialists will not die in their desire to kill themselves, and those who are not our species will have different hearts. Chinese people understand it, but beautiful Chinese people don’t understand it?
"I, I need time to think about it. Even if I switch to Jiaxing, there are still many things to negotiate." Liu Yifei was a little confused by what Xu Jia said.
She finally got the top resource of "Mulan" this time. If this movie fails again, it will have a huge impact on her.
And if you want to turn your energy to the country, Jiaxing is an unavoidable option.
"Don't be in a hurry, you can think about it slowly, but as a friendly reminder, it's not impossible for us to return to the film industry after you come to Jiaxing. We are more of a two-pronged approach, and we always respect the opinions of artists."
Xu Jia waved his hand. Fishing requires timing. If you are too eager, the fish will be easily scared away. He has plenty of patience.
…
The day after the movie premiered.
The overwhelming negative reviews came to Huayifang without giving Huayifang any time to react.
Jiaxing's Propaganda Department used all their strength this time, leaving the opponent unable to fight back.
"The plot is loose, the acting is stiff, and the action scenes are still at the level of domestic costume dramas more than ten years ago. To be honest, when you told me this was a Disney movie, I couldn't bear to think about it at the first time, and the role of Gong Li as a witch. The addition was such a failure, and the scene about shooting the giant eagle at the end almost made me laugh to death..."
"I once made a lot of efforts to incorporate the plot of the movie in order to make it worth the ticket price, but I failed. The plot is simply inexplicable. My mind is full of what is this, what is this, and this is all... What kind of question mark is there, especially at the beginning when the Rouran people ran up the 90-degree city wall with their feet, I was completely speechless."
"All the Chinese characters in this movie are criticized for being ugly, and the building where Mulan and her family live is from Fuzhou, and the story of Mulan takes place in the north and south. This is completely unfair."
"If it weren't for Liu Yifei, I wouldn't have given it even one star. The film crew also hired a lot of big names that are well-known to Chinese people, and piled up all the Chinese elements they could think of. But in my opinion, it's all Westerners' interpretation of ancient times. China’s stereotypes are really unacceptable.”
These film reviews were all written by Zhouyi's screenwriting department. Yang Tianzhen specially approved funds to let them watch the premiere of "Mulan". After returning, he began to write professional negative reviews from various angles.
The effect is nothing short of outstanding. Compared with ordinary audiences and even film critics, it is a dimensionality reduction blow.
If it were a domestic film producer, they would definitely find out that there was someone behind the scenes and fight back. But the main investor in this project is Disney. Although Huayi is one of the producers, they have no ability to follow up on this. There is a dark tide to fight against each other.
The result is that the entire Internet is giving negative reviews to "Mulan". Many viewers who have not watched the movie directly passed on this choice, which has created a predetermined impression in their hearts.
There is a golden period of only seven days during the National Day holiday. "Mulan" was released late. This delay did not catch up with the final rescue period, which directly led to a sudden death.
After massive publicity and an expensive lineup, the cumulative box office in the domestic film market in three days was less than 100 million. The theaters would not let them get used to it. Looking at the success of "Operation Red Sea" on the other side, they immediately dismissed it. The film schedule for "Mulan" was cut in half.
At this point, the outcome has been decided between the two sides, and Jiaxing once again became a god, becoming an invincible player in the country.
