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

"We have already explained it, and everyone said they will consume rationally." Xiaozhi replied.

He didn't think much about it at all, he just did whatever the company asked him to do.

"Well, that's good. You have good execution skills."

Zeng Jia patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder, his face became serious, and he looked back and forth between the other person and his girlfriend.

The two of them were worried. Could it be that they were going to talk about their problems?

"I heard that you two have been together for a long time. You should get married when it's time to get married. You can rest assured that you will receive wedding leave, maternity leave, and corresponding benefits. You don't have to focus on work all the time. Your own life is the main focus," Zeng Jia said.

ah?

Both of them were stunned.

Regardless of whether you have this idea or not, just follow Mr. Zeng first and put this matter aside before talking about it.

"Sure, we two will work hard to make it final this year." Xiaozhi took the lead in expressing his stance.

The girlfriend's face turned red and she said nothing, which meant she acquiesced.

"Okay, okay, you two are married. When the time comes, I will ask Mr. Xu to personally witness your marriage and give you a big red envelope."

A smile appeared on Zeng Jia's face. This is a normal young man.

It's nothing like Xu Jia and Yang Mi on the screen. Let alone the results over the past few years, they haven't even blossomed yet.

Sad.

Later, I have to talk to the adults of the two families.

…

The movie ends.

Xu Jia stood up and applauded the crew and creators on the stage.

He didn't know yet that he was about to face the situation of urging marriage.

Not only him, but other guests at the meeting also stood up and clapped their hands.

But everyone's reaction was a bit beyond Joe and Jason's expectations.

This is a Hollywood blockbuster.

Megalodon, the prehistoric beast!

What awesome special effects, but these people are not excited at all.

This is completely inconsistent with their idea of ​​how Chinese audiences would react to Hollywood blockbusters.

It also put a layer of gloom in their hearts.

If I had to describe it, it would be like feeling tired after eating too many similar dishes.

"Yang, do you Chinese people only appreciate superhero movies? Why do I think they don't like our movies that much?" Jason asked Yang Mi in a low voice.

This movie also has high hopes for him.

He has been in Hollywood for so many years, from being a supporting role for Jet Li to now being able to act on his own. In fact, he is relatively successful among Hollywood actors.

But there is still a lack of a final work, a movie that means he can hold up the box office.

In his opinion, the success of "The Meg" mainly depends on the response of the Chinese film market.

"No, you misunderstood. Xu Jia said something to me. We Chinese movie fans are actually a little tired of the Hollywood blockbuster format. It may seem like gorgeous special effects and changing backgrounds, but the core is always the same. , coupled with the fact that you now pay attention to so-called integrity and correctness, our fans will naturally be more inclined to local culture."

"The most important thing is that they have seen the world and eaten good food, so they will not be shocked at all times. Some time ago, we Jiaxing released a science fiction movie called "The Wandering Earth", which is the original work of the author of "The Three-Body Problem" If you are interested in the adaptation, you can watch it, and maybe you will understand why we, the audience, have this reaction."

When Yang Mi talked about this, she was quite emotional. As a young girl born in the 1985 generation, she also experienced the time when Hollywood blockbusters were raging in the mainland film industry.

Hollywood artists are even more superior. Any little star who comes to China will be treated like a superstar.

On the other hand, mainland artists, even Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are firmly at the top.

Under such circumstances, I don’t know how many people have an inexplicable admiration and filter for Hollywood.

Since the turn of the millennium, China's top artists have been flocking to Hollywood, even if they are playing supporting roles.

Even in a so-called Hollywood blockbuster, you can show your face, say a line or two, and then publish a press release to promote it.

There is also a term called red carpet.

How frustrating.

Nowadays, it is Hollywood artists who are working hard to win favor with domestic audiences.

But this is actually still a level of weakness, because everyone knows that people are willing to look at you more because of the market and money.

But things are very different now. True confidence is not about how much others praise you.

It's because domestic movie fans don't care about your evaluation, whether it's Hollywood or a blockbuster movie.

The only thing he cares about is whether he can make me feel comfortable.

This is called cultural confidence.

Jason smiled bitterly. He didn't quite understand the meaning of Yang Mi's words.

After all, I don't feel the same way.

But one thing he knows clearly is that the era when Hollywood was rampant in China has passed.

And all this is because of the man in the audience.

…

The second day.

The premiere box office of "The Meg" was quickly delivered to Xu Jia's hands.

"Two hundred and twenty million, tsk, it seems that the fans are quite supportive." Xu Jia smacked his lips.

In the previous life, the domestic box office of "The Meg" was only 106 million on the first day, which means that Jiaxing's reputation is worth 100 million.

This is only the first day. Under normal circumstances, the entire opening weekend is the period when movies are most likely to attract money.

"Even if we didn't arrange corresponding announcements, many self-media accounts spontaneously added popularity to "The Meg". This is something that can't be helped. Under the banner of our Jiaxing and Warner, plus Mimi as the female lead, The protagonist, no matter what, the popularity of this movie will not be low in China." Zeng Jia said.

She certainly hopes that fans' enthusiasm can be saved for "Operation Red Sea" in October, so that Jiaxing can earn more.

But you can’t control the heavens and the earth, but you can’t control the fans’ support for your own movies, right?

"However, according to our inference, this summer season has already gathered too many hits, and the market potential has been almost fully tapped. Moreover, domestic audiences do not have unique plots for shark movies. We estimate that the box office will be less than 2 billion. .”

"On the contrary, in the North American film market, the announcement of "The Meg" has achieved unexpected results. Many American movie fans are more receptive to shark movies, and they seem to prefer them."

Miao Yuqing looked confused. If this trend continues, the overseas box office of "The Meg" will easily exceed the domestic box office.

You must know that the sharing agreement signed by Jiaxing and Warner is a unified global account sharing agreement.

That means Jiaxing is the one who takes advantage.

But the original intention of this movie co-production was clearly that Warner was counting on the Chinese film market to fill the loopholes.

Now it's the other way around.

Thinking of the various actions of the company, Miao Yuqing subconsciously looked at Xu Jia.

I'm afraid this ending is also within Mr. Xu's expectation.

"Warner is shooting itself in the foot. I guess there will be some wrangling at that time. You guys keep an eye on the finances of the global box office. If they dare to play tricks, they will have to sue them no matter how much money they spend. I don't know if I can win the lawsuit. , you have to show off your momentum.”

"In addition, domestic publicity and distribution should be carried out normally, so don't let others take advantage of you." Xu Jia said solemnly.

[In the new year, I wish you all to get rich every day! Have the best of your life! Awaken your wishes into a system! 】
