Those present, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to talk nonsense.

They can't afford the responsibility.

"But Xu Jia has made it clear that he has a big appetite, and the general benefits can't satisfy him at all, which of you is willing to cut a piece of meat on your body and give it to him?" The manager of Dadi Pictures sneered.

Anyone can say good things, but the meat must also be cut.

"Mr. Liu, aren't you close to Xu Jia, can you intercede?" Someone spoke.

Mr. Liu of Wanda Pictures touched the back of his head and knew that someone would push the matter on himself.

He looked at the person who spoke out and sneered: "No matter how good the relationship is, when it comes to interests, can you still turn a blind eye?" Besides, fight for you irrelevant people. ”

"How do you say this, isn't it also for you Wanda Pictures......" The man was pierced through his mind and argued.

"Okay, don't make any noise."

The Shinkansen manager had a gloomy face, and if he let these people continue to quarrel, he was afraid that he would not be able to answer the quarrel until next year.

However, the major cinema chains have performance tasks, small and medium-sized theaters are counting on attendance, and cinemas with state-owned backgrounds are also responsible for the downturn in the film market.

Otherwise, the killing rod on it will come down, and it will end up with the black gauze hat of his own family.

"I suggest that we sit down with Mr. Xu openly and honestly and have a good talk, but we discuss it unilaterally, and we can't produce results." Shinkansen manager said.

Everyone thought about it and responded one after another.

……

At this time, Xu Jia was in the mood to care about the thoughts of the theater party.

He has just arrived at a tourist resort in Qiong Province, a beach in Sanya.

Dense crews are shuttling around the beach, building scenes and models.

Compared with the domestic industrial system, the Hollywood team from Warner is obviously much smoother.

It's not about flattery.

People are a team trained with real money.

Just as Xu Jia valued Guo Fan before, it is quite remarkable to be able to drive a team of thousands of people.

If you don't believe it, you can bring a group of 20 people to try, and if you can bring it well, you will be considered a gold medal tour guide.

"What are these two big boxes for?"

Xu Jia looked at the oversized water tank that was arranged, and was a little curious, "How big does this thing have to be?" ”

"It is 56 meters long, 40 meters wide, and up to 3 meters deepest, mainly to restore the real scene of the seabed, which is more convenient when filming and safer for the actors."

After Lorenzo learned that Xu Jia was there for the crew, he came over and introduced: "It takes six days to fill these two water tanks, and the water temperature is also warmed, which can reach about 30 degrees, and it costs 5,000 US dollars a day just to heat the water temperature." ”

Rub, do not understand clearly.

After learning about it, I found out that making this kind of special effects blockbuster is burning money every minute and every second.

Or burn dollars.

But think about "Red Cliff", which destroyed a ship worth hundreds of millions of dollars, that is a big deal.

Not to mention Cameron's "Titanic", which cost 200 million US dollars in 97, built a big ship for real shooting.

At that time, it almost dragged Twentieth Century Fox to bankruptcy.

At least his own "Megalodon", with a professional producer like Lorenzo watching, director Joe is also an obedient tool man, and the budget can still be guaranteed.

"It's good, this kind of money can be used when it should be used, it can't be saved, and the safety of the actors is the main thing."

Xu Jia nodded, and asked instead, "By the way, where is the shooting site, are they filming?" ”

"There, at the moment, the actors are touching up their makeup, and filming hasn't started yet."

Lorenzo led Xu Jia to the direction of the set with interest, reporting on the situation of the crew: "Miss Yang is very dedicated in acting, the crew admires her, and Joe and I sometimes ask her for her opinion on the shooting, after all, from the perspective of the actors, new problems may be discovered." ”

"The crew's budget is within a controllable range, and it can support the completion of filming, but in view of the rising prices, I will urge Joe to finish filming as soon as possible, Warner's publicity and theater resources are being coordinated, and enough theaters will be left for us at that time."

Lorenzo is still a Warner man on the surface, but a heart is already in the shape of Jiaxing.

The entire crew is equal to all Jiaxing's people.

There is no way, who asked Xu Jia to give too much, Lorenzo finished filming this movie, and he was still in his original position at Warner.

can follow Xu Jia, and after the end of filming, he will be able to develop his own company.

Xu Jia's eyes are appreciative, he is worthy of being a veteran producer, and his mind is agile.

The report is all about the information that I am concerned about, and there is no nonsense mixed in.

The previous words about Yang Mi are to show that Da Mimi has the right to speak in the crew, and he and director Qiao are very respectful, and there is no power dispute.

The back is to report Warner's attitude, if the situation changes, Xu Jia can also deal with it here.

"You just let go of this movie, to be honest, this film, from the beginning, I planned to focus on the North American box office, so I told director Joe that the shooting was biased towards North American audiences."

"It's not to give up the domestic market, it's just that this kind of shark disaster movie, it's difficult to resonate with domestic audiences, most people live inland all their lives, even in offshore areas, sharks are rare creatures, they may have fear of this, but there is no sense of substitution."

Xu Jia gave Lorenzo some solid advice, if it is too bloody, it will not pass, and it will lose its charm if it is not bloody.

What's more, most people in the cinema haven't even been to the sea, how can they experience the emotions in the film?

This is the incompatibility between cultures.

North American audiences eat this set because shark attacks have been frequent in the past, and there are shark films such as "Jaws" and "Shark Beach" as the basis for watching movies.

And later generations have also proved that the real basic plate of "Megalodon" is the local film market in North America.

The Huaxia region is just a supplement.

Although Sister Mi is a cow, she is indeed not mixed to the point where she can carry a $300 million investment in a movie alone.

Lorenzo's brow furrowed, and his face showed a little embarrassment.

In his opinion, if the North American market is enough to feed "Megalodon", Disheni will not give up this IP.

"Don't worry, with the two film markets complementing each other, the possibility of losing money for this film is very small, just let you focus on the North American market, and you can cut it into two versions when the time comes, and it's the same."

Xu Jia patted Lorenzo's shoulder and comforted him, only to find that the two had already walked to the set.

When I looked up, I saw a huge shark head appear in front of me.

That bloody mouth can swallow at least four or five people in one bite.

"This is a specially designed shark head model for the crew, and the VFX team spent a lot of time studying, capturing and simulating the shark's movements, as well as the water environment in which the shark is located, how the water should move, and every small detail determines the effect of the production."

"In addition to studying real sharks, we also scientifically and rationally recreate this prehistoric species, because the archaeological megalodon only has some vertebrate fossils for reference, and the size of the megalodon in the movie is larger than the megalodon that people speculate through fossils, including the gills and skin of the megalodon." Lorenzo introduced.

Always let the owner see where the money is spent.

Obviously, this place is very satisfying to Xu Jia.
