Chapter 171: Star Master? Is it the star I know!
Inside the private room of the restaurant.
A silver-haired man was standing with his back to him.
Xu Jia walked in with Da Mimi.
"Director Zhou, I'm in trouble, I made a special trip like this." Xu Jia said with a smile.
The silver-haired man turned around, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, for the sake of the movie, be busy." ”
At this time, Yang Mi's jaw dropped in shock.
Star Master?
, this is Zhou Xingxing?
Yang Mi turned her head in disbelief and looked at Xu Jia.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she even wanted to pinch Xu Jia to confirm whether it was true.
"It's indeed Master Xing, who made a special trip from Xiangjiang to talk about cooperation with us."
Xu Jia looked at the surprise on Da Mimi's face with interest.
After all, it's hard to see a similar look on the latter's face.
"You didn't tell me in advance, it made me a fool."
Yang Mi patted Xu Jia's arm, and then looked at Zhou Xingxing, "I'm a little excited, Director Zhou." ”
"Hehe, you're welcome, old acquaintance." Zhou Xingxing said.
Everyone was confused.
When have two people worked together?
"When we were in "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", but you were only 4 years old at that time."
Zhou Xingxing's unique humor made everyone laugh and cry.
In this way, the two of them have really met for a long time.
"Director Zhou is here this time for the release of "The Mermaid" in the mainland, the time is tight and the task is heavy, so let's get straight to the point."
Xu Jia explained Zhou Xingxing's intention, and his face became serious.
In fact, this can be regarded as his interception of Huayi's resources.
As early as the last "Journey to the West", Zhou Xingxing cooperated with Huayi's people.
The producers of the film are written with the names of Wang Lei and Wang Jun, and most of the leading actors are mainland actors.
It can be seen that it was aiming at the mainland box office at that time.
It's just that after the box office exceeded 1.2 billion, Zhou Xingxing sued Huayi.
Just because Zhou Xingxing and Wang Jun verbally agreed that if the box office exceeds 500 million, the corresponding box office dividends will be given.
The two sides had a disagreement on this, so much so that it was unpleasant.
Xu Jia saw that Xing Ye's "Mermaid" was about to be launched, and he couldn't let it go.
First, I know that the box office of this movie has exploded, and grabbing it will bring a lot of income, and second, it is also to avenge Huayi for robbing his own theme.
When the box office of "The Mermaid" exceeded 3 billion, Xu Jia was looking forward to seeing what expressions would be on the faces of Wang Lei and Wang Jun.
"We have heard a little about the treatment that Director Zhou received in "Journey to the West", although we can rest assured, it does not exist in our place, and we, as a content production company, quite understand your difficulties."
Xu Jiayi is sternly crusading against Huayi with words, and fighting for Zhou Xingxing, "We can give the terms of guaranteed distribution, that is, to ensure that the production company will not lose money, and the money will be paid to you first." ”
When Zhou Xingxing heard this, he thought that he had heard a split.
You must know that the biggest risk of entertainment companies producing projects is that the payment is too slow and the capital chain is too long.
Xu Jia is taking all the risks.
Giving all the benefits to their producers, can they be so kind?
"Mr. Xu might as well make it clear, what are the conditions for doing this?"
Zhou Xingxing has long passed the age of believing that pie in the sky is falling, and asked bluntly.
"We want half of the box office profits in the mainland, and Director Zhou's future works, whether it is investment or distribution, Jiaxing has priority."
Xu Jia showed his true ambition.
He wanted to tie Zhou Xingxing to Jiaxing's chariot.
No one knows better than him the box office potential of this great director in commercial films.
Arguably.
As long as Zhou Xingxing doesn't mess around, his name is the biggest guarantee at the box office.
As for those risks taken.
In his opinion, it is only the second thing.
The money left on the books is just a number, and it has a corresponding value if it is spent in the right place.
And Xu Jia also knew very well that it was impossible for Zhou Xingxing to refuse him.
Why did the content quality of the other party's later films such as "Fu Demon Chapter" and "The King of New Comedy" decline?
Isn't it just that the VAM agreement is forced to increase the speed of filming.
Now that Xu Jia is going to guarantee his company's profits, who will refuse a business that will make sure that he will not lose money?
"Mr. Xu, you're not kidding, are you?" Zhou Xingxing was still a little unconvinced, in his opinion, this condition could not be compared with the benefits given.
"Director Zhou, what I value is you as a person, and you are worthy of this condition." Xu Jia said slowly.
The statement that the actor of one year and the star of Zhou Xingxing for a hundred years is not nonsense.
Back then, Feng Xiaogang filmed "There Are No Thieves in the World", and called the male lead actor Liu Dehua to promote the show.
bluntly said that he wanted to defeat Zhou Xingxing.
Liu Dehua, as the male number one, couldn't help but pour cold water.
After Zhou Xingxing became the starring actor, he never lost at the box office.
The Hong Kong film industry is in decline.
"Shaolin Football" still hit 60 million Hong Kong dollars, breaking the record.
This is the gold content of Zhou Xingxing's three words.
Zhou Xingxing and Xu Jia looked at each other, feeling the sincerity of the other party, and the scrutiny in their eyes slowly softened.
"Okay, just by what you say, I agreed to this contract."
Zhou Xingxing's words changed, "However, the work on publicity and distribution, I hope to arrange it as soon as possible, we were originally scheduled to release it on the first day of the Lunar New Year." ”
"No problem, we're prepared."
The corners of Xu Jia's mouth rose, for the sake of Jiaxing's distribution system, he didn't think about it for a day or two.
For him, it was not an unprepared battle.
Zhou Xingxing came and went in a hurry.
After making a verbal agreement with Xu Jia, he left.
"I feel like I'm in a dream now, so let's talk about it?"
Even Yang Mi has to admit that Zhou Xingxing is indeed the object of her admiration.
The more you know about the movie, the more you have experienced it, and the more you can understand the cow beep of the star master.
And such a person is about to become a partner of Jiaxing.
"Hehe, how can it be so easy, it's just a verbal agreement, even if it is signed in black and white, it may not be possible."
Xu Jia smiled dumbly and shook his head, "Don't look at what Master Xing said just now, if you really want the interests to be in place, you will kick us in minutes." ”
"Do you think everyone is you, with a long-term vision? Xing Ye is a genius in movies, and he is an ordinary person in business. Yang Mi sighed with emotion, "Change me and Xing Ye to change positions, and if I encounter a similar situation, I will do the same." ”
She knew very well that if it wasn't for Xu Jia.
Even if Jiaxing was established, it would not be as successful as it is now.
In a sense, Xu Jia has now become a towering tree that shelters her from the wind and rain.
"So from the beginning, I didn't give him a choice."
Xu Jia looked confident and said domineeringly: "Except for Jiaxing, no one will, and no one dares to give better conditions than us." ”
