"Robert, I didn't expect you to come to my banquet."

Harvey's face lit up and he wanted to give the latter a familiar hug.

After all, he used to be a member of the Disneyland, and he was no stranger to Robert, but they were not very close to each other. But in front of outsiders, he still had to pretend, and besides, Robert was much more powerful than him now.

Unexpectedly, Robert showed resistance and just shook hands with him.

Obviously, they have already heard about Harvey's reputation in the industry. This guy is a man for both men and women, and he can be called dirty even in the entertainment industry, which is known for being messy.

"I came here specifically to see Xu. He is a friend of ours. Originally, we were supposed to hold this banquet for him."

Robert declared his sovereignty when he came up, which meant that Xu Jia was the one that Di Shini liked, and others should not get involved.

And because of his status, he could make a special trip to see Xu Jia, which shows how important Xu Jia is to him.

Harvey's face froze. He still expected to kill a fat sheep like Xu Jia. With Robert's words, he had to think carefully.

Just as he was hesitating, another tall figure walked over.

"Haha, I think Xu, as a guest from afar, never intends to make just one friend. Besides, we at Warner are his partners." Kevin smiled.

Two people, one is like ice and the other is like fire, but they are able to compete.

Harvey, who was caught in the middle, broke out in a cold sweat and enjoyed the two worlds of ice and fire.

None of these two presidents could be offended by him.

Recalling that I wanted to give Xu Jia a slap in the face at the beginning, now it seems that it was just a joke in the latter's eyes.

This guy actually has such connections in Hollywood, why didn't he tell him earlier?

The main reason is that Harvey has also entered the limitations of his thinking. It stands to reason that a guy who can come into contact with people of Kevin and Robert's level must be in commercial blockbusters.

How could it be possible to get closer to him, an independent film producer?

The reason why he is so dominant in the independent film field is because most of the films in this field are small-budget films, and the big players are too lazy to enter, so he has a place.

Everyone present looked at Xu Jia with surprise and envy, wondering what the identity of this Asian-faced man was.

Can it cause two CEOs to compete?

Xu Jia had a helpless look on her face. She patted Robert's arm first and then put her arm around Kevin's shoulders: "There's no need to get into a tense situation. We are all friends, right? This makes me look like the heroine in an Asian idol drama. While it’s rewarding to be up for grabs, it also makes you feel like cargo.”

It was difficult for him to understand the mood of the heroine of the idol drama, but he felt her embarrassment. It might be a blessing to have a domineering CEO chasing her, but it would be uncomfortable to have two people together.

"I listen to you, but what does Asian idol drama heroine mean? Sorry, I haven't watched the relevant movies." Kevin shrugged his shoulders and took the lead in giving Xu Jia a face.

Anyway, he has already cooperated with Xu Jia, so he is the dominant side in this competition.

"If I have to explain it, it's probably like a work like "Fifty Shades of Grey", a film and television work that creates space for women's fantasy, in which they can find perfect love and be pursued by multiple high-quality men with their own characteristics. , and a beautiful story that wanders in it.”

Xu Jia didn't expect the two foreigners to understand his explanation at all. After all, entertainment works were equally closely integrated with local ideas.

But the two people nodded at the same time. They didn't understand Asian idol dramas, but they knew a lot about "Fifty Shades of Grey".

A dark horse film released in 2015, produced by Focus Features, a company outside of the Big Four in Hollywood.

It can be seen that in fact, the Big Four in Hollywood were not optimistic about this IP at first.

But no one expected that such a movie with a production cost of 40 million US dollars would achieve a box office of more than 500 million US dollars. Its weekend box office revenue was 81.67 million US dollars.

It can be called the Hollywood version of "Tiny Times"...

"In that case, I can understand it. Don't worry, my sexual orientation is absolutely normal."

Robert made a joke, which surprised Harvey even more. Based on his understanding of this person, he was usually known to be domineering and rarely so friendly.

In this case, it must be Xu Jia who made them see the benefits.

"I have watched your company's recently released animated film in China. Although it is not as good as our Disney's top level, it is still quite good. If you want to release it in the United States, you can consider letting us distribute it."

Although Robert didn't say it clearly, Xu Jia could still tell that the reason why the latter gave him such face was not just because he admired himself, but probably more because of China's increasingly prosperous film market.

But think about it, the former has always been optimistic about the Chinese market, and he took the lead in promoting the Disney parks in Hong Kong and Shanghai.

Since the beginning of taking office, he has announced that he will fully promote the Disney brand to China. In his words, China has more people under the age of 14 than the entire population of the United States.

Now that I am on good terms with Xu Jia, I am afraid that I have seen Jiaxing's success in the mainland film market.

In this way, the other Kevin should be the same.

"We at Warner have a longer history of hosting and distributing Chinese films, not to mention our cooperation on "The Meg". I believe that choosing us is much better than choosing Disney."

Kevin's style is softer than Robert's, but there are hidden needles in the cotton. I don't know how many thorns are in Disney's words.

Seeing that the two were about to confront each other again, Xu Jia said: "I haven't considered releasing "The Devil Boy" overseas yet. Jiaxing's current film and television production focuses more on local production. I'm afraid it will be acclimatized to the local environment. This is also what I think. Why would you rather come out and ask Warner to use an American script to make "The Meg"?"

"During the seven-day Spring Festival period from the end of January to the beginning of February this year, the total box office of mainland China movies alone exceeded 4 billion. There is still a lot of potential to be tapped. After all, as you know, we have a large population, and this part of the market has been growing. During the excavation, there were not enough supporting facilities before, so more movie fans concentrated in big cities.”

"But our "Predecessor 3" released by Jiaxing at the end of last year broke this norm. It has currently received 3.2 billion in box office, and more than 70% of the moviegoers are from outside third-tier cities. What does this mean? I I think everyone should understand.”

Previously, he was just looking for reasons to decline the fake invitations from Kevin and Robert. Why he wanted to distribute movies for Jiaxing was because he wanted to release goodwill, build a good relationship, and enter the Chinese market.

The next step is to use the Chinese market to seduce the two Hollywood giants.
