Let you invest, you support half of the entertainment industry?

Xu Chengyi has seen arrogant people before, but he has never seen someone as arrogant as Xu Jia.

Just looking at the project proposal, I agreed to invest 400 million yuan.

Even in the United States, it can be called a big deal.

"Mr. Xu, I know your sincerity, but it's okay to make a circle, the risk to you is too great." Xu Chengyi politely refused.

It's not that he dislikes investing too much, but he doesn't want to see Jiaxing as the only investor.

Making a movie requires not only money, but also related resources.

In his plan, "Monster Hunt" is aimed at the domestic market, after all, the script tells the original local stories.

But Jiaxing has never set foot in the film field before.

Xu Chengyi was worried that Jiaxing would not be able to help, whether it was review or issuance.

In addition, I don't want to see the Jiaxing family dominate, at least the Hong Kong circle, and the Beijing circle should come in.

"Well, then at least half of it should be reserved for me. There are risks in filming, but I'm betting on you."

Xu Jia's tone was very sincere, as for talent, a corporal should be polite.

He can also understand the other party's consideration.

It would be best if it could be rounded up, but it doesn't matter if it can't, he also has the idea of ​​using other mature circle resources.

At least you know how it works.

"Thank you Mr. Xu for your love."

Xu Chengyi cupped his hands and said, "I will try my best to reserve an investment share for you, but we still need to discuss how to cooperate in the end."

"The matter of money is easy to talk about. Regarding creation, we have always upheld the principle of leaving professional things to professional people."

Xu Jia paused when he said this, and said unhurriedly: "However, I will leave it to my people to act as the male and female lead, whether it is professional ability or box office, Director Xu will not be disappointed. "

This is Xu Jia's real purpose, he can't just spend money and make friends.

It's my turn to ask for something, can't I realize it?

Xu Chengyi knew that this would happen sooner or later, and he was also used to investors being involved in casting.

This phenomenon is the same even in Hollywood.

The director only has the right to make suggestions, and the real decision-making power is always in the hands of the producer.

In Huaxia, whoever has a strong wrist will designate the number one male and female.

"I can only reserve one for Jiaxing, and I have to reserve the other for someone else. You should understand that." Xu Chengyi said.

Obviously, he has tacitly agreed that the Jiaxing Club will be the last one to stay. As for the Hong Kong circle or the Beijing circle, no matter which one is chosen, the protagonist's position must be reserved for others.

Xu Jia nodded slightly, and many thoughts flashed through his mind instantly.

In fact, the other party was right in thinking. If this movie was financed by itself, with Jiaxing's current resources, it would indeed not be as good as joining other investors.

However, if you unite with other investors, the position of the protagonist is a radish and a pit, and other investors will not give up easily.

After thinking about it, Xu Jia made a decision: "Then give me the male lead and let Yang Yang from our company play the role."

The leading actor in the original "Monster Hunt" was Jing Boran, but in fact Jing Boran was re-shooted later, and the real lead actor was Ke Zhendong.

That is, the actor who debuted in "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years".

The play became popular, and it was regarded as a representative of young actors launched by the Wanwan circle, but was banned later.

It was Jing Boran's turn to play the role, and the latter picked up a loophole and became a new generation of movie actors in one fell swoop. Being represented and not being represented are two different things.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the Hong Kong circle and Wanwan circle do not seldom push local young artists.

It's just that anyone who is a bit good is basically sniped down.

I also blame these guys for their unclean buttocks, but looking at it from another angle, internal entertainment is not something to worry about.

After finally standing out from the pinch between Hong Kong and Taiwan, naturally they will not be given another chance.

Only a Heavenly Court Banquet can barely squeeze in, and it is also hard-pressed with resources. The coffee position is up, and it can't hold the box office.

The reason for letting Yang Yang play the role is very simple.

Jiaxing is suitable for the number one actor, only Yang Yang is suitable.

And the female number one is obviously reserved for Bai Baihe in the Beijing circle, so she can't kick out the Beijing circle and leave the Hong Kong and Taiwan circle behind, right?

Leaving aside the fact that Xu Jia has no interest in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles, let's just say that targeting the domestic film market is definitely more suitable for the Beijing circle.

"You mean..." Xu Chengyi frowned.

"Kick out the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles, and leave the Beijing circles behind." Xu Jia said bluntly.

The corners of Xu Chengyi's eyes twitched, and he said slowly, "Mr. Xu probably doesn't know that I'm from Xiangjiang."

"Director Xu seems to be an American citizen now, and he also worked in Hollywood before. Have you learned a truth?" Xu Jia chuckled, "You can't get along with anyone, don't get stuck with money, if you want to eat mainland movies, don't let go Bowl scolding mother."

"With the unbeatable investment of 300 million yuan in "Monster Hunt", do you think the Xiangjiang market can eat it, or do you plan to sell it overseas?"

Don't look at Xu Jia coaxing Xu Chengyi in every possible way, but when it's time to beat him, he doesn't hesitate.

He is not a money-losing boy.

Xu Chengyi's expression changed after being reprimanded.

It took a long time to recover, and he nodded seriously: "You are right, I was wrong."

If he has spare energy, he naturally doesn't mind helping a group of Xiangjiang film and television circles.

But this is also the first time he has directed a big-budget film with huge investment, so how could he take risks so easily?

"In the Beijing circle, Bai Baihe should be the main recommendation. You can watch her play. This girl is quite suitable for the role of Huo Xiaolan."

Xu Jiashun said something, and said with interest: "How did you come up with this story, and where did you get the inspiration from?"

Don't look at the flourishing of Huaxia movies before Xu Jia's rebirth, but now it's only 15 years ago. You must know that the big hit movies are still "Pancake Man".

"Monster Hunt" is considered a rare work of conscience, whether it is special effects or original local stories, it is properly labeled as China.

"Five years ago, I had this idea with screenwriter Lao Yuan. You also know that I was doing "Shrek" before, so I had the idea to make a story about our Chinese monsters."

Speaking of this, Xu Chengyi was also very emotional, "We read "Liao Zhai" and "Shan Hai Jing" before choosing one of the stories "The House Demon", which is also the prototype of Huba."

No wonder it's so down-to-earth.

Emotion is a mixture of the contents of these two masterpieces.

Xu Jia nodded and pointed out the core issue: "Have you ever thought about the auditing issue? Even if the animation is broader, it is easy to be killed if it is touched by ghosts."

bring up the topic.

Xu Chengyi scratched his head, he was also troubled for a long time.

"I may put more effort into my feelings and focus on telling the story, so it should be easier to avoid review."

Xu Chengyi had heard about Huaxia's review system for a long time, and even if he was prepared, he had no idea.

"Let me give you a way, focus on the relationship between Huba and others, and just brush up the rest. That is to say, the real protagonist of the whole movie is Huba. The audience of our movie should aim at the direction of family carnival, warm and friendly, It must not be stained with terror." Xu Jia said.
