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

[Congratulations to "The Meg" for exceeding US$400 million in global box office! 】

A big red banner was hung outside Jiaxing Hotel, and everyone passing by cast curious glances.

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

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

It can only be said that Jiaxing's brand value and Damimi's popularity far exceeded Xu Jia's expectations.

But overall, Jiaxing actually has the advantage.

Due to his urging and confidence in the domestic market, Warner also increased its resources for this movie, so that the box office in movie markets other than China has repeatedly reached new highs.

It is basically certain that the film’s final global box office will be around US$450 million.

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

"Friends from the media will make other arrangements. Zeng will hold a special press conference later to entertain us. There are too many guests here today, and Jiaxing Restaurant cannot accommodate them. Yuqing, please explain." Xu Jia said.

There have actually been a number of Chinese and American co-productions over the years, many of them big-budget, but in terms of success, "The Meg" is really one of the first. This news is no more novel than the fact that Jiaxing's film broke box office records in China.

The main reason is that Jiaxing's movies have broken box office records not just once or twice, but frequently with short intervals, and the public is used to Jiaxing's success.

But I still didn’t expect that my country’s film company could make a name for itself overseas.

In recent years, the entire entertainment industry in China has become more and more backward.

"Okay, the media people coming here have good relations with our company, I believe they can accept it."

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

On the other side, Lorenzo and others also arrived one after another.

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

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

That is to hug Xu Jia's thigh. Although there is a possibility of being accused of being a traitor, he cannot withstand the increase in power.

After the explosion of "The Meg", he returned to the United States. Don't look at Hollywood's threats to Jiaxing, which also means that they recognized Jiaxing and put the latter in the same position as themselves.

Many people learned that he was from Jiaxing and contacted him quietly in private, hoping to further try to cooperate.

So those who are threatening or not are just a group of businessmen who are profit-oriented and disrespectful of integrity.

"You did a good job on the "Operation Red Sea" project. I heard from Fumino and the others that your share will not be less when the time comes. If you keep up the good work, I will guarantee you more than what you got in Hollywood."

Xu Jia patted Lorenzo on the shoulder with a smile on his face. This guy was quite easy to use.

"It is only under your leadership that we can achieve such good results."

Who says foreigners are incapable of understanding the world? Lorenzo’s language skills can be regarded as high emotional intelligence. Then he said seriously: "I found out the news about Warner. Kevin’s intention is to develop a sequel with us, but within the group, There was another voice that felt it would be more appropriate for them to develop it themselves, or to replace it with someone else.”

"The two sides are currently in a stalemate, and it may take some time before the production of the sequel can start."

Xu Jiamo stroked his chin. There was a second voice within the Warner Group. It was not difficult to guess, but Kevin's emphasis on Jiaxing exceeded his expectations.

Unexpectedly, this is still a potential Jiaxing Chui. From what Lorenzo said, it can be said that he has single-handedly raised the cooperation with Jiaxing to a state where it can compete with other voices.

"Warner, please continue to pay attention. As for the sequel, don't worry. Time will prove who is right."

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

Anyway, it will take one to two years at the earliest for the sequel to be launched.

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

I believe that these two years have been enough for Warner to clearly understand who is indispensable in the cooperation.

Take the box office performance of "The Meg."

One party must and must choose a Chinese partner, but which company to choose is a question worth discussing.

But Xu Jia was confident and made Jiaxing China's only choice.

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

Surprisingly, it was Brother Cheng Long.

The latter is cooperating with Jiaxing on "Out of Control Player", but no one expected him to appear here.

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

"Brother's visit will make Jiaxing Restaurant more prosperous. I have to leave a signature and a photo before I leave. I'll have it framed on the wall later."

Xu Jia stepped forward to greet him. Fortunately, everyone who was supposed to be picked up was almost there, so he led Cheng Long in. As he walked, he said: "I heard from Guo Fan, you don't have the heroine of "The Out of Control Player" yet. Have you decided on a preliminary candidate?"

This project will be the highlight of Jiaxing next year, and he has been paying attention to it.

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

After all, this is the key to Jiaxing's plan to open up the global market, so the heroine must first have a foreign face, and secondly, she must be familiar to global audiences.

In this way, combined with Brother Cheng Long's international reputation, he can become a veritable king.

"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 is suitable, but other reasons may not be easy to accept.

"Which one? Forget it if it comes to issues of principle." Xu Jia asked curiously.

"Scarlett Johansson, her salary is a bit too high. We contacted her agent and the offer was 20 million US dollars," Cheng Long said.

If this salary was really offered, it would be impossible for him to accept it, let alone the crew.

It's higher than his salary, so it overwhelms him.

"Oh, you are really a lion. Last year, her income was only 25 million. I really thought she had been taken advantage of." Xu Jia chuckled. She was treated like a nouveau riche and a bumpkin from China. .

Scarlett's most famous role is nothing more than Black Widow. Next year's "Black Widow" and "Avengers III" will be her breakout period, and at that time she dared to rely on the reason why comic book movies cannot easily change the protagonist. Twenty million dollars each.

You must know that when she first starred in Black Widow, her salary was only half a million US dollars.
