Chapter 610: "Runaway Player" core

"Understood, I'm going to contact them."

Zeng Jia nodded, after "Parasite" and "Sewing Machine Band", no one dared to talk about it anymore.

The former has already won a global box office of 250 million US dollars, while the latter has a guaranteed box office of 500 million yuan.

Throughout the year, there are not many domestic movies that can make money, let alone Jiaxing is profitable.

"By the way, there are also Cheng Long and director Sean Levy, establish contact with them, try to get the project of "Runaway Player" as soon as possible, the starring and director are decided, and the rest is just a trivial matter, and the soldiers are fast." Xu Jia commanded.

This movie is a science fiction film promoted by him personally, and with the domestic film market, it is best to release it before 19 years, otherwise the film market will inevitably be cold at that time.

And he also wants to seize the last golden period of the film and television industry, and strive to compile the time and space for Jiaxing to maintain its survival behind it.

For others, this may be a crisis, but for Xu Jia, it is a good opportunity to show his strength.

Other companies can't stand it, but Jiaxing can survive, that's victory, and the rest of the market is theirs.

"Yes."

Zeng Jia nodded, looked at Yang Mi on the side, and hesitated: "Will the actress of this movie be Mimi, if so, our publicity plan will be started in advance." ”

Yang Mi had long heard of the sci-fi movie between Jiaxing and Cheng Long, and immediately looked at Xu Jia expectantly when she heard the words.

In her opinion, this project is much more valuable than "Megalodon".

There's no way, it's Cheng Long, which domestic actor doesn't want to partner with him.

In terms of coffee position alone, Cheng Long is much stronger than Jason Statham.

"Sister Mi's words, more energy should be focused on her own production of "Baby", and in the future, she will be more developed behind the scenes, and the heroine of this movie will find a famous actress abroad, after all, we also take into account the global market, especially the North American film market, their contribution to the box office of science fiction movies often accounts for the lion's share." Xu Jia explained.

If both the male and female protagonists use Chinese actors, it will be too unfriendly to the global market.

In his thoughts, this movie is mainly supported by two film markets, one is the Chinese film market, and the other is the North American film market.

"Understood, I'll talk to those two." Zeng Jiaxing rushed to the road.

This is a rare big production of the company, with an investment of more than 150 million US dollars, which is almost comparable to the box office of "Parasite", which is also a rare super investment in China.

Whether this movie makes money or not, Jiaxing dares to set up a project, which is equivalent to stepping into a new stage, which is different in the eyes of domestic counterparts.

Not everyone has the confidence to gamble on making a movie with one billion yuan.

This is also the only route for the vast majority of film and television companies to go to film and television groups.

Once, Huayi wanted to go through, and Orange Sky wanted to go through, but they all failed without exception.

In fact, a large part of the reason for their failure is that the domestic market is not mature enough and can only rely on the overseas market, but unfortunately the overseas market only eats Hollywood, and if you want to make money in other people's rules, it is difficult to kneel down.

And now it's different, the domestic film market alone is enough to feed a film and television giant.

Backed by the domestic market, and then going to the overseas film market to fight, on the contrary, he has no worries about the future, and he can let go even more.

And what Xu Jia has to do now is to let Jiaxing occupy the position of the only giant in China, and if he misses this opportunity, he will not have to sit again.

As for sitting on it, whether it can be held is not a question that he should consider now.

……

May 6th.

Cheng Long came to the capital from Xiangjiang.

Arrive at Jiaxing first as soon as possible.

In addition to him, there is Sean Levy, who has come all the way from the United States, and Lorenzo, who has received the news to put down his business and return from Africa.

These three people are the core team that Xu Jia intends to use to make "Runaway Player".

Cheng Long is the lead actor and action director, Sean Levy is the director, and Lorenzo is the producer.

The plot of the movie is based on Sean Levy, and the action refers to Brother Cheng Long, Lorenzo is in charge of the accounts, and by the way, he helps Xu Jia keep an eye on the crew.

This is why Lorenzo is Xu Jia's trusted confidant.

As for Brother Cheng Long, to be honest, his thoughts can't keep up with the development of the film industry, and this is the most taboo in science fiction movies, so even if he knows that the former may not be very willing, Xu Jia has to support Sean Levy to the one with the most creative power in the crew.

Quite simply, the lack of a leader is the reason why movies are the most likely to fail.

"Hey, boss, I'm glad to see you alive, I've had enough of that ghost place, it's not a place where people can stay at all." Lorenzo complained for a while about when he, as a typical Hollywood producer, had been subjected to such difficult conditions and treatment.

mentioned this, he gave a thumbs up to Hu Ge, Ma Li and other leading actors in the crew: "But I have to say that you Chinese actors are really good, at least they are dedicated and dare to fight hard, they even grow vegetables in Morocco, which is incredible." ”

"And there is a risk of injury in many places during filming, even if we do a good job of safety measures, it is the right for the actors to refuse, but they have never flinched, and there is no possibility of failure in watching this movie, even if I am American, I can't wait to see this movie in the cinema."

His mouth is full of praise for "Operation Red Sea", although there is definitely an element of sycophancy, but the admiration in his words cannot be faked.

"Okay, don't be a sycophant, let's get down to business, this time I called you back to let you stare at the project of "Runaway Player", you are more involved as the logistics manager, and the main decision-making is still made by Sean Levi and Cheng Long, you are responsible for finding a balance between the two, and try to lubricate the cooperation and relationship between the two." Xu Jia explained.

He still had a lot of faith in Lorenzo's professionalism, but he was a little skeptical about the latter's professional ethics.

After all, he was able to betray Warner and join himself at the beginning, and now he can betray himself and join others for the sake of profit.

But Xu Jia is confident that what he gives to the other party is something that others can't give, even if it is a double-edged sword, he has the ability to control it.

On the Hollywood side, there is still a producer-centric system, Lorenzo used to be the leader of the project, but now he has been reduced to an assistant, I don't know if I can accept this gap in my heart.

"I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will handle this balance well, Cheng Long and Sean are also both sleek, I believe the two of them will not have too much trouble."

Lorenzo showed no signs of negativity, and for him the work was temporary.

It takes time and seniority to gain Xu Jia's trust, and he has the patience.
