Chapter 450: Barbie
Night.
The banquet was held in Harvey's villa.
Sure enough, as Xu Jia expected, this banquet was not held for himself, but already existed, but was borrowed by the former to offer flowers to the Buddha.
The guests were also very curious about this unfamiliar oriental face that suddenly appeared.
Some people even think that Xu Jia wants to come to Hollywood, and there is an Asian actor.
"Sorry, I don't need this much."
Xu Jia pushed away the room card handed by a woman, which was not bad, there was a man who wanted to talk to him just now, and he scolded him and left.
originally thought that at least there would be a few acquaintances at this banquet, but who expected that when they looked at it, they were all unfamiliar faces.
It can only be said that Xavi is really not as strong as before, and the real big names will not come here at all.
Even if there are Warner people participating, the two sides have no intention of communicating at all, after all, not everyone thinks that it is a good thing for their own company to cooperate with Huaxia people.
In other words, no company is monolithic, not even Jiaxing.
It's just that Xu Jia stands tall enough, in fact, he still has a little hearing of the competition between the old man faction led by Zeng Jia and the rookie faction headed by Yang Tianzhen and supplemented by Cai Yinong.
Xu Jia knew very well that he had ended up in such a lonely situation.
Harvey's side must have known that he might even be in the way.
After all, if you don't let yourself feel the coldness in Hollywood, how can you compare Harvey's warmth.
But Harvey was wrong about that, unlike other Chinese filmmakers, Xu Jia didn't have the idea of integrating into Hollywood at all.
The Huaxia film market has such a big potential, and I haven't tapped it yet, so how can I have the energy to focus on the outside.
Not to mention that people who leave their hometowns are cheap, and it is not so simple to change to an American to develop in China, why should he abandon his local advantages and go overseas for development, what is he trying to do?
Thinking of this, Xu Jia planned to turn around and leave, there was nothing worth staying here.
Unexpectedly, after turning around, a touch of golden hair swept by the afterglow made him pause.
It seems that something new has been discovered.
"Hello, I'm producer Margot Robbie, I have a new project in my hand, do you want to talk about it?" Margot Robbie took the initiative to communicate with people.
It's a pity that after hearing this name, the other party immediately shook his head and avoided it like a snake and scorpion.
They are no strangers to Harley Harleyn.
If it is purely filming, they are still very welcome, but Margot Robbie's project is known to everyone in the circle.
They don't think they can take on the project even if they give up on the mud.
Not to mention that after understanding the content of the script, I will only think that this woman is crazy.
Although everyone talks about supporting feminism, making feminist movies ...... Forget it.
Syllable.
A hand patted Margot Robbie's shoulder.
The latter turned around and saw the unfamiliar Oriental face at the banquet.
"Sorry, no signing, no photo." Margot Robbie said dryly.
She knew that the Harley Girl she starred in "Suicide Squad" was very famous in China, and it didn't matter if she was on the side, but at this time, she was really not in the mood.
"You misunderstood, I'm just interested in the project you're working on, you may not know me, but you've probably heard of Warner, and the other partner of Warner's "Megalodon" is me." Xu Jia explained.
I have to say that Warner's name is still very good at a critical moment.
At least after listening, Margot Robbie's attitude towards Xu Jia obviously respected a lot.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were an actor, after all, you look so young and attractive." Margot Robbie used a joke to hide her embarrassment.
Who said that Westerners don't understand the world, especially Hollywood actresses, who can't get on the spot without emotional intelligence.
Luckily, the kind of stupid brain has in the entertainment industry of all countries.
"But there is one thing I want to tell you in advance, the main market for my project is North America, and it may be difficult for Asian film companies to provide corresponding conditions." Margot Robbie said.
Although she put Xu Jia on the same level as a person who can communicate, she still doesn't feel that the other party can cooperate with her on the project in hand.
Xu Jia shrugged his shoulders: "In a capital country, I think all the conditions are inseparable from one benchmark, that is, money, it just so happens that I am a little rich." ”
"If you know me, you will know that I am a shareholder of Wanda Pictures, and you can look up Wanda, a Chinese company, which may be more capable in Hollywood than 99 percent of the people present."
He rarely shows off his wealth directly, but in the face of foreigners who are not familiar with him, it seems that there is nothing more direct to show his strength than showing off his wealth.
But speaking of which, he also borrowed the momentum of Warner and Wanda.
The heart that was originally a little swollen fell silent again, and the nest was unacceptable, and then it was a mountain king.
No matter how Jiaxing has reached the status of Jiahe, only then can he have a little confidence to expand.
"Oh, I've heard of Wanda, and it seems that you are indeed not an ordinary movie businessman."
Margot Robbie finally faced Xu Jia and included the other party in the cooperation options, Wanda is really no stranger to her.
After all, it is a group that is waving money and buying in North America, and its financial resources are still amazing enough.
"The project in my hand is called "Barbie", before Suo Ni, I am currently negotiating with Mattel, and I am about to get the filming rights of the film, I don't know if you can accept this genre, the movie is dominated by women's perspectives, I plan to create a real feminist world, maybe there are many things in it that will make you feel uncomfortable......"
Margot Robbie may have hit too many walls, and his words were full of pessimism.
But these words fell on Xu Jia's ears, but the corners of the latter's mouth rose even more.
He is no stranger to this movie, in his previous life, "Barbie" was not only invincible in North America, but also set off a wave of female movie-watching in the global market.
Compared with those comic series such as "Black Panther 2" and "Spider-Man", "Barbie" is one of the few North American film projects that Xu Jia has the opportunity to intervene in.
And because of the relationship between type and content, it naturally comes with a layer of protection.
"I know this project better than you think, it seems that at the beginning, Amy Schumer starred on Suo Ni's side, but the two did not reach an agreement on creation, so this project was re-excluded, right?"
Xu Jia met Margot Robbie's surprised gaze, and said unhurriedly: "The "Megalodon" I collaborated with Warner was given up by Di Sheni and picked it up again, I have sufficient experience in this regard, as for your so-called creation of a real feminist world, I don't care if you can accept it, you don't want to shoot it for me, but for those who are willing to spend money to watch it, and shoot whatever can make them feel happy." ”
As long as you can help yourself make money, even uncomfortable things can become pleasing to the eye.
