Chapter 666: Ask the widow sister to play the leading role

[Congratulations to "Megalodon" for exceeding $400 million at the global box office! ] 】

The big red banner hung outside the Jiaxing Hotel, and everyone passing by looked at it curiously.

This film seems to be tepid in China, and no one expected that the final domestic box office would be 1.4 billion.

Even the publicity and marketing that Jiaxing is proud of has not started, and the box office is nearly 400 million higher than that in the previous life.

It can only be said that Jiaxing's brand value and Da Mimi's popularity far exceeded Xu Jia's estimates.

However, on the whole, it is actually Jiaxing who takes advantage.

Due to his urging and confidence in the domestic market, Warner has also increased the resources given to this film a lot, so that the box office of film markets other than Huaxia has also hit new highs.

Basically, it is certain that the final global box office foothold of the film will be around $450 million.

This is already Warner's best result in recent years.

"Media friends will make other arrangements, there will always be a special press conference to entertain later, there are too many guests here today, Jiaxing Restaurant really can't entertain, Yuqing, you can explain." Xu Jia said.

In fact, there have been Huamei co-productions over the years, many of which are big productions, but they are successful, and "Megalodon" is really the first one, which is no more novel than Jiaxing's film breaking box office records in China.

The main reason is that Jiaxing's movies have broken box office records not once or twice, the intervals are short and frequent, and the public is used to Jiaxing's cow beeps.

But I didn't expect my country's film company to be able to break through overseas.

Who has let the entire entertainment industry in China regress more and more over the years.

"Okay, the media people who came have a good relationship with our company, I believe they can accept it."

As the company's press officer, Miao Yuqing was still sure of this, so she turned around and went to the media to explain.

On the other side, Lorenzo and others also arrived.

Compared with the fatigue and rush of the last publicity period, this time everyone's faces are more and more dazzling.

Lorenzo, in particular, felt that he had made the right choice with this project.

That is, he hugged Xu Jia's thigh, although there was a possibility of being scolded for being raped, but he couldn't resist the growth of power.

After the explosion of "Megalodon", he returned to the United States, not to mention that Hollywood is full of threats to Jiaxing, which also means that they recognize Jiaxing and put the latter in the same position as themselves.

Many people learned that he was from Jiaxing, and they secretly contacted him in private, wanting to try further cooperation.

Therefore, those who do not threaten are a group of honest businessmen who only have a theory of interests.

"You did a good job on the project "Operation Red Sea", I heard Wen Muye and them say, when the time comes, your share will not be less, keep up the good work, I will get more than in Hollywood."

Xu Jia patted Lorenzo's shoulder with a smile on his face, this guy is quite easy to use.

"It is also under your leadership that we can create such good results."

Who said that foreigners are not sophisticated, Lorenzo's language skills can be called emotional intelligence, and then he said seriously: "I found out the news of Warner, Kevin's intention is to be more willing to develop a sequel with us, but there is another voice within the group, thinking that they will develop it themselves, or it will be more appropriate to replace them." ”

"At present, the two sides are deadlocked, and the production of a sequel may not start for a while."

Xu Jiamo rubbed his chin, there was a second voice within the Warner Group, which is not difficult to guess, but Kevin's attention to Jiaxing exceeded his expectations.

I didn't expect this to be a potential Jiaxing blower, listening to Lorenzo's meaning, it can be said that he will cooperate with Jiaxing to a state of competing with another voice by himself.

"On the Warner side, you continue to pay attention, as for the sequel, don't worry, time will tell who is right."

Xu Jia smiled and motioned for Lorenzo and the others to take their seats first, "You are the heroes of the celebration banquet, come in." ”

Anyway, the sequel will start, and it will take one to two years at the earliest.

After all, this involves two companies, and even if the dispute is not serious, it will take a while to divide the interests inside.

In the past two years, I believe that it is enough for Warner to see clearly who is indispensable in the cooperation.

With the box office performance of "Megalodon".

One party must also choose a partner in China, but which company to choose is a debatable question.

But Xu Jia is confident, making Jiaxing the only choice in Huaxia.

As he was talking, he saw a figure walk in, causing many people to exclaim.

It is Brother Cheng Long.

The latter was working with Jiaxing on "Runaway Player", but no one expected him to appear here.

"Haha, I just came here and heard that you were going to hold a celebration banquet, so I came to congratulate you, and you won't drive me away if you come uninvited." Cheng Long joked.

"Big brother can come to make Jiaxing Restaurant shine, I have to leave a signature and photo when I leave, and I will have someone frame it on the wall when I turn around."

Xu Jia stepped forward to greet him, but fortunately, the people who should be picked up were almost there, so he led Cheng Long into the room together, and said as he walked: "Listen to Guo Fan, the heroine of "Runaway Player", you haven't decided on a preliminary candidate yet?" ”

This project is the highlight of next year's Jiaxing, and he has been keeping an eye on it.

Although it is a special effects movie, the heroine is also the top priority.

After all, it is the key to Jiaxing's intention to use this to open up the global market, so this heroine must first be a foreign face, and secondly, she must be familiar with the global audience.

In this way, with the international popularity of Brother Cheng Long, it can become a veritable king bomb.

"Actually, there is a candidate, but we haven't decided yet." Cheng Long hesitated.

If you can make him hesitate, it means that the person should be quite suitable, but I am afraid that it is not easy to accept for other reasons.

"Who? Forget about touching the matter of principle. Xu Jia said curiously.

"Scarlett Johansson, her salary is a bit too high, we contacted her agent, and the salary was offered for $20 million." Cheng Long said.

If it was really this salary, let alone the crew, he would not be able to accept it.

is higher than his salary, doesn't it overpower him.

"Heh, it's really a lion's mouth, her income last year was only 25 million, I really thought she had run into a big wrong." Xu Jia chuckled, this is treated as a nouveau riche and a dumpling in Huaxia.

Scarlett's most famous role is nothing more than Black Widow, next year's "Black Widow" and "Avengers III" are her outbreak period, and at that time she dared to ask for 20 million US dollars because the protagonist could not be easily changed in comic movies.

You must know that she first starred in Black Widow, and her salary was only $500,000.
