Chapter 197: The Two Fools in the Next Village

Lorenzo put together two pieces of information.

A conclusion was suddenly reached.

Rub, there are peers who want to pry people!

This does not obviously mean that Xu Jia has found a new partner.

This flight to the United States only means that the two sides have talked about a critical stage.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Yang Mi to accompany her in person, and it is very likely that she went to meet the director because of the female number one.

"Is it Columbia Entertainment, or is it Didini?"

Lorenzo reported the name of the suspected company and observed Xu Jia's reaction, while racking his brains to dissuade the other party: "Columbia Entertainment Company is owned by Suo Ni, those Dongying people are quite unparticular about doing things, and they must have evil intentions, as for Di Shini, those guys are full of copyright and animation, even if they make live-action movies, they will never allow you to get the dominance." ”

"It's like our Warner, not only is the leadership willing to be given to you, but the revenue share can be fifty-fifty, or even lower."

In order to save Xu Jia, he gave up all the face and dignity of the five major entertainment companies in the United States.

Anyway, it's the company's face that is lost, what does it matter to him?

Xu Jia raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure that the revenue share can be lower?" ”

"Uh......"

Lorenzo didn't expect Xu Jia to respond so quickly.

And it's on such a tricky issue.

He thought of the company's urging for him, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, but I need further communication with the headquarters, but I can guarantee that you will definitely be satisfied." ”

Hey, that's a bit of a mouthful.

It is obvious that he is taking the interests of the company in exchange for his own joining.

Xu Jia observed Lorenzo with interest, and his thoughts turned a thousand times.

Could it be that this foreigner is also unsettled?

"It's between you and Warner, I just want results, and I'm not in New York for long, I'll give you two days at most, and then I'll fly to Europe."

Xu Jia naturally won't give Warner too much time to react, in case someone contacts a domestic competitor.

Isn't it exposed?

After chatting about business, Xu Jia asked meaningfully: "What is the proposal I gave you last time, about the introduction and investment of American films." ”

In fact, he is not particularly interested in the introduction of overseas films.

The main reason is that this piece is limited in amount, and only 25% of the box office is given at most.

In the eyes of overseas entertainment companies, no matter how small a fly is, it is meat.

But in Xu Jia's opinion, just for this bit of meat, there is really no need to toss.

lest you don't eat much meat, but get fishy.

What he really values is Sino-foreign co-production, which is called [Sino-foreign co-production of films].

In fact, there are three types of co-production, co-production, co-production, and commission.

Among them, co-production refers to a form of filming in which domestic and foreign production companies jointly invest (including funds, services or physical goods), co-produce, share benefits and bear risks; Collaborative production refers to the fact that the foreign party invests in the filming of the film in Huaxia, and the Huaxia party only provides paid services such as venues, equipment, and labor services to assist; Commissioned filming is commissioned by a foreign party to produce on behalf of a foreign party in China.

Among the three types, the copyrights of the latter two co-productions and commissioned films are owned by foreign parties.

If you want to enter the mainland market of China, you need to treat it as an imported film.

Xu Jia will definitely not choose this path, so she will make a wedding dress for someone else.

So the co-production he made today refers to the first type, co-production, which is, to put it bluntly, a co-production that can enjoy the treatment of domestic films.

And 15 years later, there are more and more companies doing co-productions.

The main reason is actually that capital has entered the market, and the big guys have money.

One by one, the pig's nose is stuck in the onion, and he wants to pretend to be a foreign elephant.

In the memories of Xu Jia's previous life, in co-productions, there is not much money to be made.

It is often the overseas producers who cheat the Chinese side.

After all, if people want to make a fuss on the books, it's like playing.

But Xu Jia has an advantage that domestic production companies do not have, that is, Jiaxing's achievements in China are good.

Eight days after the release of "The Mermaid", the box office has reached 2.5 billion, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks 4 billion.

Converted to more than 300 million US dollars.

Don't say that foreigners don't care, people's eyes are red.

This is a gradually maturing film market, and they naturally want to get a piece of the pie.

Happened.

Xu Jia also fancies the vast overseas market.

This is the basis for cooperation.

Lorenzo in front of him is an important chess piece for Xu Jia to expand overseas, and it is also a foothold.

"I think the plan you mentioned is very promising, and nowadays internationalization is an irresistible trend, and the entertainment industry should be the same, which is also to bring different perspectives and cultural exchanges to each other's people."

Lorenzo replied very righteously, in fact, he was euphemistically expressing his interest in Xu Jia's proposal.

But this is still a Warner producer on the surface, and the elbow can't be too obvious.

What's more.

If you want to say that this product cooperates with Xu Jia for the cultural exchanges between the two countries and for the benefit of the company, then Xu Jia resolutely does not believe it.

So twisting and pinching, it is nothing more than to make a watch and want to set up a memorial arch.

"What you're saying is exactly what I expected, and I'm telling you this because I value you Lorenzo, not Warner, and what I really want to work with is Di Bonaventura Pictures." Xu Jia said word by word.

The so-called Di Bonaventura Film is a company founded by Lorenzo.

The corners of the latter's mouth first raised, but quickly suppressed it, and said with a serious face: "But if this is known by the headquarters, many things can't be explained clearly......"

"Does Warner still want to restrict employees from making friends with customers?"

Xu Jia stretched out his hand, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, "Yes, Lorenzo, my friend." ”

"It's an honor to be your friend, and I think cultural exchange between the two countries is imperative." Lorenzo shook his hand knowingly.

Yang Mi watched the two old men shake hands warmly and communicated, and couldn't help but feel sad for Warner.

With this pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes, even if they are the world's top 500, I am afraid that they will be bitten off a piece of meat......

But cooperation is a thing that comes later.

The important thing right now is the Megalodon project.

Even if the two of them were already 'embarrassed', Xu Jia still kept a hand.

The truth about the smoke bomb was not revealed.

just patted his chest and repeatedly assured the other party that as long as the revenue share could be negotiated, he was willing to give Lorenzo a face and restart negotiations with Warner.

Lorenzo was moved for a while, thinking that it was really his own face that played a role.

also promised Xu Jia that after he went back, he would definitely make the contract more favorable to Jiaxing.

So much so that Yang Mi learned the result of the two talking.

Looking at Lorenzo's eyes all the way, like looking at the two fools in the next village.
