Chapter 216: What Are We?
"You have the final say." Xin Shuang said hurriedly.
He is already honored to have this opportunity to direct.
After all, in his original plan, he had at least two or three years before he could officially take charge of the guide.
"In this way, let's invite Director Zhang Rui to come, he is four years older than you, you should have a common language." Xu Jia made a decision.
Zhang Rui is the director of "Residual Sins" in his previous life, and last year's "Criminal Police Captain" was his work, which won the 31st Chinese TV Drama Feitian Award for Outstanding TV Series with Realistic Themes.
In terms of skill alone, at least it is more mature than the current Xin Shuang.
Xu Jia invited him to come, in addition to insuring the project, in fact, he also wanted to let the other party bring Xinshuang.
Needless to say, the latter talent just needs time to grow.
What Xu Jia can do is to do his best to accelerate the growth of Xin Shuang.
"I will cooperate with director Zhang Rui to do a good job in filming." Xin Shuang said.
"You don't have to be too humble, you are the person I am optimistic about, you are the Imperial Forest Army of Jiaxing, you must be mainly based on your own people, you are responsible for the casting work first, and try to focus on the company's artists." Xu Jia said with a smile.
No matter how awesome the person is, as long as it's not his person, it's all in vain, and this project is used to practice for Xin Shuang.
Please Zhang Rui to come, it is also an escort.
If it weren't for the pungency, wouldn't it be upside down?
Xin Shuang's face was full of the emotion of the death of a confidant.
Sometimes these people who are engaged in literature and art may not be so sensitive to money and power, but they attach more importance to the respect and honor of others.
"Do a good job, this drama is finished, and I will put some burden on your shoulders next year." Xu Jia encouraged.
"Yes!"
Leave the office happily.
Xu Jia looked at the latter's brisk back and smacked his lips.
Obviously, he wants to work more for the boss and make more money for the boss, and he can be so motivated.
Such a simple employee, please give yourself a few more dozen!
Jingle bells!
Xu Jiazheng sighed, and his mobile phone rang.
Seeing that it was Wang Lei calling, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pick up the phone: "Hey, Mr. Wang, have you arrived at the place?" ”
"I've arrived in Burbank, and you should go and fulfill the promise you made to me." Wang Lei said.
Until now, he felt that Xu Jia was hiding something greasy and evil.
But the temptation of the prospect of the project "Mulan" finally made him desperate to come to Burbank.
"Well said, but before that, shouldn't you also send someone to prepare the copyright transfer agreement for "Demon Suppression" in advance?"
Although Xu Jia was not afraid of Wang Lei breaking the contract, in order to avoid complications, he still signed the contract early and finished it early.
"My people will be here soon, as long as you fulfill the agreement, I will naturally not break my promise."
Wang Lei accentuated his tone, "But you'd better do it as soon as possible, because I came out this time to hide it from other companies, but I don't expect to hide it for too long." ”
When that time comes, regardless of the prestige of Huayi, everyone will only rely on their own abilities, and it is impossible to say who will be the winner.
After all, those guys in China, although they have not achieved enough, they have always been more than enough to fail.
"Okay, just wait."
Xu Jia hung up the phone, hesitated, and chose to call Lorenzo first.
"Hey, dear Xu, do you finally remember your friends on the other side of the ocean?"
"I'm going to have a showdown with Robert, and I'll quit the "Mulan" project next, recommend another company to take over, and wait until they announce the news, and we'll announce it."
Xu Jia had anticipated Lorenzo's enthusiasm, and the latter was now tantamount to a grasshopper on a rope with him.
Even Lorenzo will rely on him to develop the company in the future, and it is inevitable that he will be eager.
"This is no problem, after learning that "Mermaid" officially exceeded four billion, the board of directors agreed to take the lead with you and Jiaxing, but I personally suggest that you better calm Robert's emotions and not let him find out that you are using him, otherwise Jiaxing can't afford it with Disheni's influence." Lorenzo suggested.
Don't look at Warner and Jiaxing have now become partners, but the former will never offend Di Sheni for the sake of Jiaxing.
On the contrary, as members of the Big Six, they have offensive and defensive alliances with each other.
Of course, when it's time to start, it's never soft.
"Well, I know in my heart, how well Joe Detdurbar and Jason Statham are connected, it is best to build a team in the capital, including the filming location, and also focus on Chinese scenes, and I will arrange a special effects team." Xu Jia said.
Of course, he knew that Lorenzo couldn't do this, and he just asked the latter to help convey it to Warner.
Whether there is a disagreement or not, how to argue later.
With Lorenzo as the producer sandwiched in the middle, there is at least a buffer zone between the two sides so as not to tear their faces apart.
"According to what you said, in addition to our share of the investment, this project is equivalent to an out-and-out Chinese film, and it is difficult for the management to accept it." Lorenzo said truthfully.
"So you need to send a message to the board that these conditions will reduce the cost of the film, and it will be significantly lower."
Xu Jia moved out of the killer feature, don't look at the previous conflict with the Warner board of directors.
But capital doesn't care about this, where the interests are, they just sit there with their butts.
Obviously, Xu Jia intends to use Warner's board of directors to deal with Warner's management.
Lorenzo could imagine that the little wisdom in the board of directors had been drowned out by greed when they heard the words "cost reduction".
"I know what to do."
Lorenzo was silent and added, "I'm glad I'm friends now, it's hard to imagine what hell you'll face if you become your enemy." ”
"Hehe, it's okay, you can take a look at our Huaxia Thirty-six Strategies, and they can be so powerful." Xu Jia said casually.
"Huh? I know the empty city plan and the beauty plan, which of the 36 plans do you have? Lorenzo was interested, and he still had a certain understanding of Chinese culture.
"That's a plan."
Xu Jia smiled, "This plan is called, drive the wolf and devour the tiger." ”
……
At this time, Wang Lei was pacing back and forth in the room.
In addition to him, there were also representatives of Media Asia.
The latter frowned and said: "I always feel that this matter is unreliable, Xu Jia is just a small boss, how can he talk about Robert?" I'm afraid that after he chose to withdraw from the project, Robert had already left him behind. ”
Wang Lei glanced at this guy, and his eyes were full of ridicule and pity for the latter's ignorance.
Immediately, the representative of Huanya was angry, "Could it be that the king is always afraid of that young man surnamed Xu?" ”
"If you think that a founder who can create a leading enterprise in the entertainment industry from scratch with a market value of more than 10 billion yuan in two years is not worth mentioning......"
Wang Lei looked at the representative of Huanya and said quietly: "Then what are we?" Isn't it as good as garbage? ”
