789 The Successful One Never Proves a Problem, but Solves a Problem
Xu Jia is really not qualified to say anything about this.
It is clear that Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, Hu Ge and Liao Fan are willing, so who cares.
What's more, in the final analysis, it is also for the purpose of the movie, and Xu Jia, as an investor, is the beneficiary.
Of course, Lao Hu and Liao Fan's agents probably don't think so.
"Let's get down to business, what are you doing when you come to me, don't talk to me and just chatter, I can see you clearly, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, looking for me is definitely a hidden idea in my stomach." Xu Jia said in an affirmative tone.
An investor who restricts the other party's creative space will definitely be disliked by the other party.
After all, Jiang Wen's creative space was quite free in the past, and many investors were afraid of running away, but when they came to Xu Jia, they loved to shoot and didn't wait.
The other party can pull down his body and appear in front of him, which is 99% nothing good, and it is estimated that he is worried about his pocket.
"If you don't say that you have a high opinion, this vision is accurate, what kind of mind I have, all of it is seen by you, no wonder Jiaxing is developing so fast, it is inevitable to have a boss like you."
The top hats in Jiang Wen's mouth were worn by Xu Jia one after another, just from this guy's mouth, how could it be a bit of yin and yang.
The latter also realized this, and hurriedly added: "I really think so, if nothing else, the atmosphere in the film and television industry has really improved a lot, and you and Jiaxing account for at least half of the credit." ”
When praising people, the truth seems to be particularly moving.
Seeing Jiang Wen, who has always been known as a perverse temper, trying so hard to pat himself on the back, Xu Jia became more and more vigilant in his heart.
can make this guy let go of the bottom line, then there is a lot of request.
"Director Jiang, don't wear a high hat, if you have something to say, if I can help you solve it, it's good to say, if you can't, nothing you say can change my decision." Xu Jia said bluntly.
As far as the other party's shooting style is concerned, he doesn't think that he will sacrifice many interests to fulfill the other party for a few kind words.
Jiang Wen rubbed his hands, smiled and said, "I want to restore the scene of Beiping in Yunnan Province, and the real-life shooting will be more textured at that time." ”
"Just tell me how many square meters is this setting, and how much does it cost?" Xu Jia said calmly.
"40,000 square meters, the cost has to be calculated, but I am sure that if this scene is made, the quality of the film will definitely be improved." Jiang Wen swore solemnly.
After finishing speaking, he quietly waited for Xu Jia to make a decision, the other party was a person in the circle, he didn't expect him to be able to fool the other party, it depended on whether Xu Jia was willing to pay for this setting.
"Ahem, let's come, the cost will be at least more than 50 million, depending on the specific needs." Xu Yongan interjected on the side.
This involves the professional scope of their group, and 50 million is only his rough estimate, and the budget will only be added to Jiang Wen's needs.
"That is to say, for this setting, it will cost one-third of the investment of the movie, so to speak, the cost of Huang Bo's "A Good Show" may be your location cost, he brought me more than 2 billion box office, can "Evil Not Prevail Over Justice"? I told you at the beginning that I didn't expect this movie to make me money, but at least the expenses should be spent in a reasonable way, and you think I'll use my money to make you fill your desires? Xu Jia said unceremoniously.
This guy really takes money and doesn't pay for it, the cost of more than 50 million is enough to make a mid-range movie, Jiang Wen plans to set up a scene and spend other people's money to spend lavishly.
The key is that he has read the script, and if you want to say how much this scene has improved the quality, it is really not necessarily, and there is a plan with a lower budget that can also achieve similar results.
When Cameron built a big ship, it was because the setting of "Titanic" was very important, including director Xie Jin who built a city during the filming of "Opium War", and with the prototype of Hengdian Film and Television City, that is what the movie really needs, and the final result is also a big loss.
But does "Evil Does Not Prevail Over Justice" really need to restore the so-called appearance of Beiping?
In Xu Jia's view, this is Jiang Wen's pursuit of his own artistic perfection, but he forgot that the money is not blown by the wind, let this guy try to make a movie with his own money, and see if he will not be so extravagant and wasteful.
There are people who are willing to dedicate themselves to art, but they are by no means like Jiang Wen, who seems to be stubborn and upright, but in fact he is very sleek in dealing with the world, but anyone who does not understand the world will not be able to go today.
Jiang Wen scratched his head, he knew that Xu Jia was not so easy to convince, and his own inner confidence was insufficient.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was stagnant, so that everyone in the entire venue who was paying attention to this direction was a little embarrassed.
Jiang Wen hesitated for a moment and said: "I'm really thinking about the movie, how can you agree to my request, you can make conditions." ”
For the movie, he is serious, but the contradiction between the two parties is on their respective positions.
"Do you think your business value is worth more than 80 million? Even if you give me a notice for a year, you can't make any money, it's not that I'm unwilling to provide funds, it's that it's within a reasonable range, and it's impossible for the funds of the capital to be squandered by you, right? Unless you can still make money this way, but the truth is that you are more likely to lose money. ”
Xu Jia paused, looked at Jiang Wen, who was a little unconvinced, and said: "Otherwise, we will sign a gambling agreement, if the movie loses money, you will personally bear the lost money, how about it?" ”
Jiang Wen will be given to the general in one sentence, if it is really as Xu Jia said, when the time comes, he will lose hundreds of millions, then he will lose a lot.
"Then according to what you say, if you make money, the extra part is also mine?" Jiang Wen quibbled with crooked reasoning.
"Yes, we can sign a contract, and I will give you half of the extra part." Xu Jiashuang said.
It's just that he dared to respond to this bet, but Jiang Wen didn't dare to accept it.
This guy himself knows that it is not so easy for this movie to make money, mainly because he is currently performing well in the box office market of "Let the Bullets Fly", and you can see how bleak "One Step Away" is, don't look at him on the surface He doesn't care, he actually has a number in his heart.
Seeing that Jiang Wen was beaten like a wilted eggplant, he never came back to his high spirits.
Xu Jiacai threw out a new plan and said slowly: "In this way, I will try my best to help you get this setting, but it is not guaranteed to be in Yunnan Province, and when the time comes, you must unconditionally cooperate with our Jiaxing's itinerary, and if there is a suitable project in the future, you have to perform." ”
The stalemate continued, and he believed he would undoubtedly emerge victorious, but he had a better solution.
Jiang Wen's fame is there, and various places are trying their best to increase their attraction to tourists, instead of spending so much money on spectacle, it is better to use it to set the scene for the movie, and when the time comes, it can also attract tourists, which kills two birds with one stone.
