"I heard you seem to be in contact with Harvey, watch out for that guy, he's much more greedy than he seems, and ......"

Lorenzo paused, a look of hesitation flashed on his face, and he still said: "Not only did he offend Di Shini's people, but in fact, the entire Hollywood Six didn't have a good impression of him, so it's best to keep your distance." ”

can say this, it is already his greatest kindness to Xu Jia.

"I understand that just asking him for a small project to help with will definitely not get too deep."

Xu Jia has added a little more trust to Lorenzo, and if he is a bystander, I am afraid it will be difficult to dissuade him like the other party.

"That's good, Hollywood's complexity is dozens of times higher than your Huaxia, if you want to enter the overseas market, try to be careful, even if I am in Hollywood, I dare not say that I can see the situation clearly." Lorenzo reminded.

He didn't want the Huaxia gold master he had just met to be cheated by others in the blink of an eye.

You must know that these guys in Hollywood, they are the masters who don't even let go of Wall Street.

"I know this very well, and the heels of Chinese film dealers and even film dealers all over the world in Hollywood are enough to alert me."

Xu Jia knew this, not to mention that Jiaxing had not yet become a real hegemon in Huaxia, how could he have more energy overseas.

He has his sights set on overseas because he can accurately pick out good projects and make a fortune from them.

It's just that after he has carefully selected, some independent productions are good to intervene.

Changing to a comic book movie, or a sequel to a series, he doesn't want to think about it, unless he wants to be slaughtered as a fat sheep by Hollywood people.

After all, how to calculate box office dividends is in the hands of others.

Even if the box office of a movie is against the sky, people will count the loss fee, publicity fee, etc., and so on, and they can make you lose money in minutes, and maybe you will have to pay for it.

This is not a joke, but it really happened, and it is an old routine of major Hollywood companies.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Xu Jiacai cut to the chase: "How is the editing of "Megalodon" over there? What are the plans for Warner? ”

"The finished film has been released, Warner has held a viewing party internally, and the senior management believes that the potential is limited, and intends to put their hopes in the global market." Lorenzo said.

For a Hollywood giant like Warner, as long as the box office can recoup its costs, it is earned.

Because they can continuously collect revenue from other channels, such as broadcast rights, discs, etc.

The reason why Jiaxing agreed to cooperate with an outsider like Xu Jia, and even agreed to Xu Jia's harsh conditions, was also to see that it was in the vast market of China to facilitate the recovery of costs.

Focusing on the global market is actually focusing on the Chinese market.

This is contrary to Xu Jia's previous instructions, and he is more optimistic about the North American market: "Even your senior management thinks that the box office potential is limited, why can it be improved in our Chinese market?" This kind of shark-themed movie does not have a solid mass base in China. ”

"There are not one or two film projects co-produced by Huamei, you have also filmed "The King of Kung Fu" before, it does not mean that the cooperation between the two countries will definitely be trusted by the audience, Yang Mi's fan base can only ensure that the popularity of the initial release of the movie is there, whether it can form a snowball trend, or it depends on the movie itself, even if I haven't seen the finished film, I don't think "Megalodon" can reach the hit level."

Americans can be scared by sharks because they can actually see them and have time to go to the beach.

In Huaxia, Niang Xipi's has to be touched and killed by the big guy if she has a little meat, how can she be afraid?

It's like Jurassic Century, but with realistic graphics and special effects.

Really put the dinosaur in Huaxia, but if you add a yin and yang effect, you can give it to eat extinction again, believe it or not?

The same goes for sharks, which are a bit economical, and they only light up when they see them.

If you have to say what you are afraid of, the Chinese people still have a certain admiration for gods and ghosts, but this thing can't be released in China.

The results of "Megalodon" in the previous life show that it is okay to use Huaxia as a supplementary box office, and if it is used as the main box office, it is difficult to recover the cost.

"But the top management of the group doesn't think so, and those guys never listen to advice in their heads." Lorenzo shrugged his shoulders, even though he was a producer, he didn't feel like he could influence Warners' decisions.

"Then you tell them that if the North American film market doesn't give enough publicity, I can't guarantee that the film market in China will accept this movie, I want to see their actions and their sincerity, otherwise I'd rather throw this money into the water and listen to it."

Xu Jia waved his arm, so that Lorenzo clearly recognized the firmness in his heart.

He can only use the Chinese market to threaten Warner, which is actually a kind of sorrow for the weak, and he can only strive to lose both sides by harming others and not benefiting himself, so as to make others compromise.

Seeing Xu Jia's fierce reaction, Lorenzo's face was entangled for a while, and he hesitated: "Then I can only feedback your response to them and see how they will decide, but I don't recommend that it end up to the point of breaking the net, which is a loss for both parties." ”

As a lubricant between Jiaxing and Warner, he naturally doesn't want the two sides to fall apart.

In that case, the producer of this project will suffer the most.

"Of course, I don't want to see that kind of situation, after all, in business, everyone wants to make money, and they don't want to lose."

Xu Jia smiled and said, "Lorenzo, we're friends, right?" ”

"Of course."

Lorenzo didn't think about it.

What a joke, if not not, it must be now.

"We are grasshoppers on a rope, Warner will not care about your and my earnings, only how their earnings are, giving up the promotion of the North American ticket warehouse, it is a loss to you and me, so this matter is not only my business, but also your business." Xu Jia said in an accentuated tone.

It's impossible to charge in front of you and let this guy get left and right from it, and he won't have any strength.

Lorenzo's face changed again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "From what I know about the top management of the group, after receiving your reply, even if they feel that their self-esteem has been hurt, they will seriously consider your protest, as you said, they are first and foremost businessmen, and they must ensure that their interests are not damaged." ”

"So as long as you stick to it and let them see that you have the ability to hurt their interests, I think sooner or later they will compromise."

He really wanted to be a middleman watching the fire from the other side, but Xu Jia dispelled his illusion in a few words.

There is only one end to not taking sides, and that is to be treated as enemies by both sides.
