After the awards.

Xu Jia let Bong Joon-ho and the main creator of the crew go for an interview.

He went backstage to a celebratory banquet.

Of course, the main thing is to invite Sean Levy to direct "Runaway Player".

If the latter is unwilling because of Huaxia's investment background, he will also replace him as soon as possible.

It's just that he underestimated how hot he is now.

Along the way, there is no shortage of Hollywood personalities who come to greet him and want to get acquainted.

Obviously, at present, he is only regarded as a wronged leader from Huaxia.

"Hey, we're here."

Cheng Long beckoned to Xu Jia and walked over with a curly-haired man.

Compared with Hollywood directors' usual sparse hair, this one is thick and translucent, but the hairline is a little higher.

"This is Director Sean, and he was very interested after hearing that you were going to ask him to direct a science fiction movie." After Cheng Long introduced Sean, he introduced Xu Jia to the other party: "This person you should have just seen, is the investor and chief producer of the best film "Parasite". The project "Runaway Player" was proposed by him. ”

He hoped that this project could be established as soon as possible more than anyone else, and his reputation was declining day by day, and he knew in his heart that he had planned to retire slowly.

Now there is Xu Jia's hope that he will come out of the mountain again and become popular again, so he is naturally unwilling.

Hollywood awarded him a lifetime honor award, which is actually a consolation prize, which also means that the actor is out of luck, but out of his previous contributions, it means a little.

"I've seen your Night at the Museum, and it's been a lot of fun." Xu Jia said indifferently.

Although the other party is a successful film director of the series, he carries the power of the latest best picture, which makes Sean consciously bow his head.

After all, a $100 million production is what any director is looking forward to.

Cameron and Spielberg, as well as Nolan, are the exceptions.

Because for them, the production cost of 100 million dollars is basic, and even in many cases it is far from enough.

Of course, Xu Jia will not contact these three directors.

One is that they can't lack investment, and the other is that he doesn't bother to be the big one.

Even so, Twentieth Century Fox was almost dragged down by funds when Cameron was filming a big ship.

From this point of view, Jiang Wen and Cameron have similarities, and they almost destroyed the investors.

However, the latter is much larger than the former.

Jiang Wenniu is on his own, and he is almost the same as Quentin when he tops the sky.

Money is smashed on film, what kind of ability is it?

No matter how hard you keep improving, you can't compare to the special effects of the Women's Federation III.

And those three directors can stand at the top of the global directors, that is, they can spend money, and they can spend money on the blade.

The money they spend is, in the final analysis, used to develop the film industry.

But Jiang Wen couldn't do it, he could only make dumplings for himself for his own vinegar, and the audience was all incidental.

This is also known as limitations.

Later, Huaying sent directors such as Guo Fan, Chen Sicheng, and Ning Hao to Hollywood to study, in fact, they wanted them to learn how to spend money and how to spend it on the blade.

Ninety-nine percent of the directors in China give them one million and maybe know how to shoot, and give one billion directly to the brain, and they don't know how to spend it and where to spend it.

It's just that Chen Sicheng and Xiao Yang have gone in the wrong direction, and they are all very suspenseful, and the latter is even more finished, remaking foreign movies.

Although Ning Hao has lost a bit of reputation in "Crazy Alien", he at least knows how to spend the money and where it is spent.

And Guo Fan really understands how money is spent on the blade.

It's just that there is still some lack of heat, and when the filming of "The Wandering Earth 2" is finished, Xu Jia will consider starting another stove for him and changing it to a sci-fi movie.

This time, "Runaway Player" is more suitable for a mature director like Sean.

Of course, the money is in Xu Jia's hands, whether he chooses the other party or not depends on whether the other party knows whether he is interested or not.

"Thank you for the compliment, I have heard Cheng Long tell the story of "Runaway Player", to be honest, it stimulates my imagination and creativity very much, I even have a picture of this story in my mind, since you have watched "Wonderful Night at the Museum", then you should know that I have experience and grasp of similar movies, and I have also filmed action and comedy, and I will cooperate well with Cheng Long." Sean Levy lowered his posture.

He doesn't care what Xu Jia's background is, he doesn't care where the film money comes from, he cares if the project can make a profit for himself.

At least in initial contact, he believes that the possibility of the success of the film is still very high.

Especially in the case of the Huaxia market, he will be much less stressed, after all, with the investment background of Huaxia Company, plus Cheng Long is in charge, it should be difficult for the Huaxia film market to be cold, right?

However, it is difficult to say that Matt Damon's "The Great Wall" cooperated with Zhang Yi was a failure.

You must know that the former refused "Manchester by the Sea" and participated in "The Great Wall".

"Manchester by the Sea" is also a popular film at this Oscars, but unfortunately lost to Xu Jia's Jin Yuan tactics and Di Shini and Warner's network connections.

"In terms of movies, I naturally believe that you have the ability to direct, otherwise I wouldn't be the first to mention you as a director to Brother Cheng Long, but I'm very worried in the market, after all, the cost of science fiction movies is hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is not enough to rely on the Chinese market alone, and the global box office market must take into account ......," Xu Jia said in a deep voice.

He believed that the latter, if they were smart enough, should know what the answer was for him.

"At this point, I suggest that you cooperate with one of the five major entertainment giants in Hollywood, not to underestimate you, but they do have uniqueness, and the global distribution system has been perfected over time, and I believe I can help you solve other things."

Speaking of this, Sean Levy is still a little confident, "Don't forget, I'm not only a director, but also a producer, I still have connections, and I will also participate in the investment of this film, provided you find the right company to distribute it." ”

I have to say that the other party can succeed without a few brushes.

This remark made Cheng Long on the side nod again and again.

"In the global market, I plan to use Jiaxing's own distribution system, only the North American film market can be used, and I hope you can negotiate with this part next, no matter which group you negotiate, only the North American film market." Xu Jia said in a deep voice.

He spent a lot of money to invite Brother Cheng Long, just to get through the distribution system of Jiaxing, and he would rather spend more money than rely on the system of others, otherwise he will be controlled by others sooner or later.

He fancied Sean Levy as the director, that is, he fancied the other party's connections in Hollywood, and if he couldn't even do this, then he would have to consider a replacement.
