This time, what Xu Shi said in the interview caused a storm in the entertainment industry, and many people secretly scolded Xu Shi in their hearts, but they were helpless against him.

They didn't even dare to say bad things about Xu Shi in public, most people knew that Xu Shi was talking about them, so they wanted to agree with them.

Now Xu Shi is different from the past, with the continuous success of the movie, and Jingwumen is getting better and better under Xu Mei's management, Xu Shi's status in the circle is getting higher and higher.

Whether it is capital, connections, or fan base, Xu Shi has reached a height.

However, in addition to the shock of the entertainment industry, many people also care about another topic, that is, Xu Shi's next movie.

Especially this is Xu Shi's first movie out of the country, not only is it as simple as making a movie, but also contains some other meanings.

In fact, this step also has a great impact on Xu Shi, once Xu Shi fails in Europe and the United States, then all his previous efforts may be in vain.

Everyone will think that he can only play tricks at home, but not on the international stage.

Many people have come to persuade Xu Shi, but Xu Shi is bent on going his own way, he has already had his own plans.

And Xu Shi said that this is a combination of East and West movies, which makes many people a little unoptimistic, especially some film critics.

Some remarks that say that Xu Shipiao has a tendency to make noise again, but due to the current explosion of "Journey to the West", there is not much room for these remarks to survive for the time being.

But it is conceivable that after the popularity of "Journey to the West" has passed, there will be no less such remarks.

East meets West?

It's easy to say, but until now, there has not been a real masterpiece that has appeared, and it is basically a work that is not pleasing to both parties.

..........

However, these remarks will not affect Xu Shi for the time being, and Xu Shi has long been prepared for what will be filmed next.

In the past, there might have been pressure from William's company, but now there is basically no need to think about it.

This morning, Xu Shi finished eating and looked at the box office record, which is now 2.5 billion, and there is still no downward trend, indicating that this movie is very likely to break through the 5 billion, or even 6 billion mark.

"Xiaolu, you didn't have classes in the morning?" asked Xu Shi while wearing Pu Xiaolu's packed suit. 、

During this time, Pu Xiaolu was really like the mistress of his house, helping his home to be well organized.

Just like today, Xu Shi was going to participate in the negotiations with William, and Pu Xiaolu prepared a formal suit.

At first, Xu Shi was a little unaccustomed to it, but slowly, Xu Shi felt that this seemed to be quite good.

"Well, there are no classes, there are only two classes in the afternoon. Pu Xiaolu said.

"By the way, do you have any plans for the future? Or do you want to work with Xiaoqing? If you have other ideas, you can tell me, and I will see if I can help you screen them. Xu Shi said with a smile.

"I don't have any ideas for the time being, it's good to work with Xiaoqing, it's very relaxed and enjoyable. ”

"Well, be sure to let me know whenever you have any other ideas. ”

"Got it. Pu Xiaolu smiled sweetly.

After Xu Shi left, Pu Xiaolu began to clean up the house, but it didn't take much trouble for her.

Xu Shi asked for housekeeping once a week, basically some clothes and other things, and there was nothing else to clean up.

Xu Shi came to the company here, and first went to Xu Mei's office.

"It's quite handsome to wear this today, do you still have this eye to pick clothes?" Xu Mei praised with a smile after seeing Xu Shi.

Xu Shidao: "Xiaolu helped to select, how can I have time to get these?"

Hearing Xu Shi say this, the smile on Xu Mei's face suddenly became even bigger, "Yes, Xiaolu, this girl is good." ”

"It's really good, by the way, let's not talk about her for a while, when will the people from William's side come over?" Xu Shi said.

Xu Mei was not too impatient, and the topic of Xu Shi shifted away.

"They said it was ten o'clock, and now it's estimated that they've come here, do you want to prepare?" Xu Mei said.

"No, this negotiation is not going to be agreed on in a moment, and the longer it drags on, the better it will be for us. Xu Shi didn't care.

Indeed, the overseas box office has just begun to explode, and as time goes on, the box office of the movie will continue to increase.

And not only Europe and the United States, but also some countries in Asia have begun to exert their strength, after all, relatively speaking, they accept the influence of Chinese culture more, and it is easy to accept.

So the more it drags on, the more confidence Xu Shi's side has, and the more benefits he can get.

"Okay, let's talk tentatively in the next few days to see where their bottom line is. Xu Mei also knew the situation.

........

At ten o'clock, William's team arrived on time, this time it was not only William, but their company also sent a professional team to negotiate.

However, the main person in charge is still William, after all, this time it is said that it is the cooperation of the two companies, in fact, it can also be said to be the cooperation between Xu Shi and William.

William's voice in this negotiation is still relatively heavy.

The two sides met, shook hands, and after greetings, they quickly got to the point.

"Mr. Xu, this time our company came with absolute sincerity, and this cooperation is beneficial to both of us.

In the future, we will definitely not cooperate only once, and I hope we can cooperate happily this time. "William came up and started by saying some expectations for the future.

However, this is also a means to reduce prices, after all, in terms of fame and volume, Xu Shi's Jingwumen is completely incomparable with others.

Xu Shiye smiled and said: "Of course, I also hope that we can have a good start this time, for now, the European and American markets and the Chinese market are the largest markets, I believe that with the cooperation of both sides, we will definitely be able to achieve more brilliant results." ”

Well, Xu Shi is not good at stubble, and he directly moved out of the Huaxia market as the current hole card.

For the next hour, to the disbelief of many, the two sides basically did not talk about anything substantial, and most of the time it was a bargain.

You say what advantages you have, what strength do you have, and I say that I have the confidence on my side........

Anyway, no one talks about the conditions first.

Until William couldn't help it anymore, he asked directly: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, what are the conditions for cooperation on your side?"

There is no need for Xu Shi to speak this time, it is better to leave this matter to Xu Mei to deal with.

"I believe Mr. William also saw the movie "Journey to the West" just shot by our company, right?"

Without needing William to nod their heads, Xu Mei continued: "This movie is still in the release stage, and it is even in the early stage, but now the global box office has reached nearly 600 million US dollars, and I believe that the total box office of this movie will definitely exceed one billion US dollars." ”

Xu Mei is not talking nonsense, but it is very likely to happen, after all, it is already more than 500 million and nearly 600 million, even if the box office is a little weak in the future, it is estimated that 400 million is still possible.

According to statistics, there are only 15 movies in the world that have exceeded one billion dollars at the box office, of which none are in China.

Now that a movie breaking one billion dollars is about to appear in Huaxia, such an achievement is enough to bring enough confidence to Xu Mei.

As soon as these words came out, William and the others knew that this negotiation was estimated to be a little difficult, and maybe they would need to bleed again.

"We don't know the box office of 'Journey to the West' yet, even if it breaks a billion dollars at the box office, as you said, can you guarantee that the next movie will do the same?" William said with a deep breath.

Speaking of the billion-dollar box office, he couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart, and even a little jealous.

Xu Shi, who was still a junior in his opinion, had already achieved such glory.

Yes, in the eyes of those of them who work in the film industry, a billion dollars at the box office is glory.

It is enough to be recorded in the history of film.

Xu Mei said with a smile: "Of course we can't guarantee it, but can you guarantee it? If you can guarantee that the film we cooperate with this time will break one billion dollars, then we don't have any opinions on our side." ”

William smiled bitterly, who would dare to agree to such a condition?

If a billion dollars is such a good breakthrough, then only fifteen movies have broken one billion over the years, no, maybe sixteen movies soon.

"Then Mr. Xu, please tell me about the specific conditions on your side. William couldn't overwhelm Xu Mei in momentum, so he could only say.

Xu Mei didn't have the slightest politeness, and directly opened her mouth, "We want the dominance of this movie, of course, we can discuss the investment amount."

If your company doesn't want to take too much risk, then we can take the majority of the investment.

The script and the direction of the film must be left to our side, and we can negotiate within reason, but we have a veto. ”

As soon as these words came out, William's face suddenly became very ugly, which was simply an insult to him.

At this moment, William wanted to walk away directly, but he still held back.

However, there is indeed a little advantage in Europe and the United States, that is, business is business, and it will not affect personal relations too much.

Of course, if you don't affect it at all, it's absolutely impossible, no one is a saint, and they all have their own little emotions.

However, William didn't have any opinions about Xu Shi because of this, but he was a little unhappy.

Doesn't it mean that the Chinese people pay a lot of attention to personal feelings? Why didn't he see it at all?

What William didn't know was that there was also a word in Huaxia called 'kill ripe!'

"Impossible, we will never accept such conditions, we can accept the use of the script you provide, but we will definitely not give up the dominance of the movie.

The main battlefield of this cooperation is Europe and the United States, not China, and you don't know the viewing habits of Europeans and Americans, which will have a great impact on the filming of the movie. William vetoed Xu Mei's proposal.

Xu Mei didn't care about this, anyway, she didn't really want to take such a big advantage.

However, Xu Mei will not simply let go, "I really don't know much about movies, and I don't understand the viewing habits of Europeans and Americans."

But I know that the movie "Journey to the West" is very popular in Europe and the United States, not only that, but also our company's previous movies "One Man's Martial Arts", "Hacker" and so on have also achieved good box office in Europe and the United States.

Isn't that a testament to our team's capabilities?"

This is true, whether it is "One Man's Martial Arts" or "Hacker", the response in Europe and the United States is actually quite good.

Although it is not as explosive as "Journey to the West", it is enough to prove that their filming methods are acceptable enough to people in Europe and the United States.

William didn't know what to say for a while, although he knew that what Xu Mei said was very reasonable, but it was completely impossible to make him Xu Shi's puppet.

"Let's put this aspect aside for the time being, I believe Mr. Xu Shi in the problem of the script, but what about the actor?

You must know that the influence of actors on a movie is crucial, and I saw that Mr. Xu Shi said in an interview that in the film we worked on, a large number of Chinese actors will be used.

This definitely has a big impact on the movie.

I have communicated with Mr. Xu Shi about the theme of the movie, and it is not a mythological theme, so the audience's acceptance cannot be as high as "Journey to the West". After seeing that he couldn't do anything in this regard, William had no choice but to change the target.

At this time, Xu Shi finally interjected, "This question is actually not a problem, the Chinese actors I am talking about can actually be said to be group performances, and the main actors are still from Europe and the United States."

You can actually understand that these are my team, I know the main selling point of my films, and the most anticipated part of the audience is my play.

And my team is the main part of my success, which is non-negotiable. ”

Xu Shi's attitude is very resolute, but William just wants such resoluteness.

"But we also have a large number of excellent group performances in Europe and the United States, and you must know that if we don't use them, but all of them use Chinese group performances, it will cause us a lot of trouble, and some people will even take us to court for this, which will have a bad impact on our company. William said with a serious face.

The future has finally grasped a point, and it is also the point that Xu Shi insists on the most, so it is natural that it needs to be expanded.

So in the following time, William's team and Xu Mei began to quarrel with each other, each having a heated debate for their own interests.

Xu Shi listened to it for a long time, and finally got a little bored, these things are not what he is good at, and he knows that there will definitely be no results in today, but he can't just leave, so he thought about it for a while, took out his mobile phone and started playing.

Lunch was eaten in the canteen of Jingwumen, and both parties were smiling when eating, each more polite than the other.

But when it was time to negotiate in the afternoon, they suddenly began to argue one by one, and there was no Sven at all.
