Chapter 410: Parasite
Zhang Jun left and left with satisfaction.
After this guy learned about Wanda's predicament from Xu Jia, he understood that the things Xu Jia mentioned had a spectrum.
Don't assume that big companies can do everything.
In fact, it also has its own blind spots, although Wanda's capital chain is short, and those who are a little more well-informed are clear, but few people will think that they can benefit from it.
It can only be said that from this point of view, Xu Jia's courage and imagination are much greater than ordinary people.
Who would dare to think of going up and taking advantage of a lion when he saw that he had just been injured?
"Are you sure you won't attend the celebration banquet over there in "Wolf Warrior 2"? Sister Zeng and Director Wu are both asking, it's still too late to go now. ”
Miao Yuqing followed in and asked.
With the distance between Jiaxing and the restaurant, as long as Xu Jia changes his mind, he can arrive within ten minutes.
Originally, everyone thought that Xu Jia was planning to go later, but now it seems that he really has no intention of participating.
"If I don't go, everyone is uncomfortable when I go, why bother, just go back and have a light meal with Director Wu, and there will be a reward red envelope to be sent for me."
Xu Jia waved his hand, although others had not arrived, there were still a lot of red envelopes.
"Okay, then I'll reply to them, so I don't have to wait for us."
Miao Yuqing nodded, not surprised by Xu Jia's answer.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xu Jia is gradually withdrawing from his involvement in the company's daily affairs.
But the influence has not diminished in the slightest, but has added a bit of mystery and majesty.
Xu Jia leaned back and closed his eyes slightly.
As he said to Zhang Jun, now Jiaxing doesn't look at the schedule dominance for four consecutive months, but it has also reached the critical point of the outbreak of many film and television companies.
How beautiful Jiaxing is, how turbulent the dark tide is in private.
Not to mention anything else, in terms of the fiasco of "Operation Mekong", can Beijing, Hong Kong, and Bend, which participated in the investment, endure this breath?
You must know that according to the trend of the film that has just been released, it will definitely make money.
Because of the suppression of "Wolf Warrior 2", there was no return.
But from another point of view, it was the fiasco of "Operation Mekong" that made those guys who were ready to move shrink.
Before you start, think about whether you can withstand this kind of pressure.
Next is the rare vacuum period of Jiaxing films, and the film projects are all in preparation, which can be regarded as leaving room for other films to breathe.
It also made the fire in Jiaxing Zhengwang cool down a little.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is the right thing to cultivate and cultivate the internal strength and precipitate the glitz.
Knock knock.
As he pondered, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Brother Jia, there is a stick in the living room, indicating that he is the director of our company's project, but our people are not sure and stopped it, you can see ......" Miao Yuqing said.
Most of the company's energy is focused on the domestic market, and only Liao Liao has a few investments abroad, but Gao Li really hasn't heard of it.
"Goryeo? Does the man have curly hair and wear small glasses? ”
"Yes, yes, that's him."
"That's really the director of our company's project, and it's a small production I invested in before, but I've been directly contacted by Sister Zeng, but I didn't expect this guy to find the company."
Xu Jia patted his head, isn't that Bong Joon-ho, the Goryeo director who invested in the filming of "Parasite" by himself.
It was supposed to pass by Zeng Jia's side, but Zeng Jia is currently at the celebration banquet of "Wolf Warrior 2", and I am afraid that he does not have the energy to pay attention to this Goryeo director.
It can only be said that the rapid development of the domestic market makes them not pay so much attention to the overseas market.
Especially Gao Li, who used to be the little brother of Chinese movies, has only walked out of his own way in recent years, but how much he values it, it really doesn't matter.
The key is that it is not so easy to make other people's money, and Goryeo has always been very strict about the introduction of overseas films.
"Ah, really, then I'll invite you?" Miao Yuqing was surprised.
"Bring it here, and make a cup of tea for someone by the way, since you are here, there must be something serious." Xu Jia said.
After a while, the curly-haired glasses man in his mouth entered the office.
The moment he saw Xu Jia, Bong Joon-ho's face was full of excitement, and he came up and bowed ninety degrees: "Thank you for trusting me!" I came this time to live up to your expectations and personally send the finished film over. ”
This cold came out like this, and Xu Jia really didn't react.
After hearing Bong Joon-ho's words, he came back to his senses, this is a gift for the film.
It is estimated that he has been busy with other things, and Zeng Jia has no time to take care of the other party because of the company's affairs, but the investment is very in place.
This kind of production company that gives enough space to creators is simply rare in the industry.
Let this Bong Joon-ho feel that he is trusted and valued, and at the same time, he will be up and down in his heart, whether the follow-up investment can continue to follow up.
After all, this investment is nothing in Xu Jia's opinion, but in Goryeo, it is also a lot of production costs.
"In this way, don't be in a hurry to have a cup of tea first, and send the film to the review room."
Xu Jia beckoned, motioned for the other party to sit down, and beckoned Miao Yuqing to come over with a cup of tea, and then said unhurriedly: "Are there any difficulties during the filming?" ”
"No, no, with your company as a support, I am still very well taken care of by JYP in Goryeo." Bong Joon-ho waved his hand.
In fact, he is also a famous director in Goryeo, and normally there is no shortage of investment.
It's just that the content of "Parasite" is too sensitive, and it is difficult to recover profits, which gave Xu Jia the opportunity to invest.
Otherwise, Bong Joon-ho, who filmed "Monster of the Han River" and "Snowpiercer", really has no shortage of investment.
"Then what are your plans for coming this time?"
Xu Jia has a plan for the movie, but he is not in a hurry to show his hole cards.
"It's about the release, I need you to follow up here, I plan to send the film to Cannes and Goryeo's Big Bell Award and other awards, including the Huaxia awards, you can also report it." Bong Joon-ho said.
Normally, this kind of non-commercial film, if you want to make a profit, you have to go to major awards for a while, and if you can win an award, your net worth will rise.
If it's a jackpot, it's even more multiplied online.
Of course, there is also a very important purpose, that is, to let filmmakers from various countries see this film.
If one country sells one million, ten countries will sell ten million, and won't most of the cost be recovered? What's more, the prices given by the old powers in Europe will be too high, and they can make a profit by selling overseas copyrights alone.
This is the route of literary films, and "Parasite" may not be so literary in the strict sense.
What's more, various awards also require capital operation.
Whether it's Cannes or the Oscars, or the more independent Berlin International Film Festival, it's all about connections.
Especially the latter, with so many participating films, just trying to let hundreds of judges see your one, it will cost a lot of money to give a lot of gifts.
Before Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the award, the former wasted half his life just by meeting people from all walks of life.
Running an award is more tiring than making a movie.
