Xu Chengyi has seen arrogance, but he has never seen someone as arrogant as Xu Jia.

Just looked at the project book and promised to invest 400 million.

Even in the United States, it can be called a big deal.

"Mr. Xu, I know your sincerity, but even if you don't forget about it, the risk to you is too great." Xu Chengyi politely refused.

It's not that he dislikes investing too much, but he doesn't want to see that the investor is only Jiaxing.

Making a movie requires not only money, but also related resources.

In his plan, "Monster Hunt" aims at the domestic market, after all, the script tells the original local story.

But Jiaxing has not been involved in the field of film before.

Xu Chengyi is worried that Jiaxing will not be able to help in terms of review or issuance.

In addition, I don't want to see Jiaxing's family dominant, at least in the Hong Kong circle and the Beijing circle.

"Well, then at least half of it should be left for me, the risk, there will be movies to make, but I bet on you."

Xu Jia's tone is very sincere, talent, etiquette corporal should be.

He also understands the other party's considerations.

It's best if he can wrap it up, but it doesn't matter if he can't, he also has the idea of using the resources of other mature circles.

At least know how people work.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your love."

Xu Chengyi arched his hand and said: "I will try my best to reserve an investment share for you, but how to cooperate in the end still needs to be discussed." ”

"It's easy to talk about money, and for creation, we have always upheld the principle of leaving professional things to professional people to do."

Xu Jia paused when he said this, and said unhurriedly: "However, the person who left me to play the male and female number one will not disappoint Director Xu in terms of professional ability or box office." ”

This is Xu Jia's real purpose, he can't spend money and make friends.

It's your turn to make some requests, can't you make it?

Xu Chengyi knew that sooner or later such a show would come, and he was used to being interfered by investors in casting.

This phenomenon is the same even in Hollywood.

The director only has the right to make suggestions, and the real decision-making power is always in the hands of the producer.

In Huaxia, it is who has a hard wrist and who will designate the male and female No. 1.

"I can only leave one for Jiaxing, and the other place should be reserved for someone else, you should understand this." Xu Chengyi said.

Obviously, he has already tacitly acquiesced that the Jiaxing Club is the last party to stay, and as for the Hong Kong circle and the Beijing circle, no matter which one is chosen, the position of the protagonist must be reserved for others.

Xu Jia nodded slightly, and many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

In fact, the other party is right, if this drama is covered by itself, with Jiaxing's current resources, it is indeed better to explode with other investors.

However, if you unite with other investors, the position of the protagonist is a turnip and a pit, and other investors will not give up easily.

After thinking about it, Xu Jia made a decision: "Then give me the actor and let Yang Yang of our company star." ”

The actor of the original "Monster Hunt" is Jing Boran, but in fact, Jing Boran was refilmed later, and it was Ke Zhendong who really played the male lead.

is the actor who debuted in "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years".

The play became popular, and it was a representative of the young actor who was launched in a bend and a circle, and was later banned.

It was Jing Boran's turn to act, so that the latter picked up a leak and became a new generation of movie actors in one fell swoop.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the Hong Kong circle and the bend circle have not been less local young artists.

It's just that if he is a little good, he is basically sniped.

It's also to blame these guys for their unclean butts, but from another angle, internal entertainment is not worry-free.

finally stood up from the Hong Kong and Taiwan clamps, and naturally they will not be given another chance.

is barely able to squeeze in a heavenly banquet, and it is also hard to hold up with resources, and the coffee position is up, and it can't bear the box office.

The reason for letting Yang Yang star is simple.

Jiaxing is suitable for the male number one actor, and only Yang Yang is suitable.

And the female number one is obviously reserved for Bai Lily in the Beijing circle, so she can't kick out the Beijing circle and leave the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles, right?

Let's not say that Xu Jia is not interested in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles, but it is definitely more suitable to aim at the domestic film market.

"What do you mean......" Xu Chengyi frowned.

"Kick out the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles and leave the Beijing circle." Xu Jia said unceremoniously.

The corners of Xu Chengyi's eyes twitched, and he said slowly: "I'm afraid Mr. Xu doesn't know that I'm from Xiangjiang." ”

"Director Xu seems to be an American citizen now, and he used to mix in Hollywood, have you learned a truth?" Xu Jia chuckled, "Who can't get along with, don't get along with money, if you want to eat a meal from a mainland movie, don't put down the bowl and scold your mother." ”

"With the investment of 300 million yuan in "Monster Hunt", do you think the Xiangjiang market can be eaten, or do you plan to sell it overseas?"

Don't look at Xu Jia's efforts to woo Xu Chengyi, but when it was time to beat, he did not hesitate.

He is not a wealth boy.

Xu Chengyi's face changed again and again when he was reprimanded.

It took a long time to recover, and he nodded seriously: "You're right, it's what I thought." ”

If he has spare energy, he naturally doesn't mind helping a group of Xiangjiang film and television circles.

But it was also the first time he was leading a big-budget movie with a huge investment, so how could he take a risk so easily?

"If you are in the Beijing circle, you should be the main promoter of Bai Lily, you can go and watch her play, this girl is quite suitable for the role of Huo Xiaolan."

Xu Jiashun mentioned it, and said with interest: "How did you think about this story, and where did the inspiration come from?" ”

Don't look at the vigorous development of Chinese movies before Xu Jia's rebirth, but now it has only been 15 years, and you must know that the blockbuster movie is still "Pancake Man".

"Monster Hunt" is a rare work of conscience, whether it is special effects or original local stories, it is properly labeled as Chinese.

"It was five years ago that I had this idea with screenwriter Lao Yuan, and you also know that I did "Shrek Monster" before, so I had the idea to make a story about our Chinese monsters."

Speaking of this, Xu Chengyi was also very emotional, "After reading "Liao Zhai" and "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", we chose one of the stories of "House Demon", which is also the prototype of Huba. ”

No wonder it's so down-to-earth.

Feelings are a mixture of the content of these two famous books.

Xu Jia nodded and pointed out the core issue: "Have you thought about the audit problem?" Even if the animation is a little more extensive, it's easy to be killed if it's stained with demons and ghosts. ”

Mention this topic.

Xu Chengyi scratched his head, he was also distressed for a long time.

"I'm probably going to be more emotionally focused on telling the story, so it should be easier to circumvent the review."

Xu Chengyi has long heard about Huaxia's audit system, even if he is prepared, he has no bottom in his heart.

"I'll give you a way, focusing on the relationship between Huba and people, and the rest is just a brushstroke, that is, the real protagonist of the whole movie is Huba, and the audience of our movie should aim at the direction of family carnival, warm and cordial, and must not be stained with horror." Xu Jia said.
