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

Kevin was not surprised that Xu Jia would come to the beautiful country to find him.

The other party's streaming service company is obviously targeting the global film and television market, so if the partner is limited to Asia, it will definitely limit their reach.

It can be said that Warner is the partner Xu Jia is definitely looking for.

But things are different here at Warner. Although they are not as good as Disney and Netflix, with their size and reputation, they do not need to mix with a bunch of Asian partners. The reason why the two of them can discuss this cooperation face to face , completely for Xu Jia’s personal face.

"Xu, if I were to cooperate with you, I wouldn't have a second thought. But if I join other parties, I think the risk is relatively high. The global film and television market is completely different from that of a single country or region. Disney, Netflix and others The forces have strong foundations and funds, and they seem to be competing, but as long as we enter the field, they will definitely attack us together." Kevin said solemnly.

Because he has cooperated with Jiaxing on several projects, Warner's financial statements this year are much better than last year, and his position as president is more stable.

It's just that such a big investment decision cannot be made in one or two sentences.

At least Xu Jia had to convince him first before he could find the board of directors to convince those guys to participate.

"No, you made a mistake. You don't have any risks. On the contrary, you will only get great benefits. Don't confuse me here. I brought in so many Asian partners just to ensure that this streaming media company The company can at least gain a foothold in Asia and then gradually explore the global film and television market. Not only does Warner not have to invest too much in the early stage, it can also take the opportunity to enter the entire Asian market."

Xu Jia shook his head. He would not be bypassed by the other party. Warner's advantage is nothing more than the foundation they have accumulated in the global film and television market for a long time. This is why Xu Jia found Kevin.

As for the actual investment, Warner actually does not need to pay much. After all, Xu Jia worked hard to bring in giants such as Alibaba and Penguin to ensure financial security.

"But the problem is that if I go to the board of directors with this reason, they will not agree. They will only think that we have deviated from Hollywood and will be excluded by all companies. The impact will be far beyond what we have gained. "Yes." Kevin said, spreading his hands.

"Then tell them to prepare to be acquired by Netflix or Disney. By then, Hollywood will change from the top five to the top four, and these directors can count their money at home without having to use their fat butts. When you come to Warner for a meeting, you can naturally join the new group and show your talents."

Xu Jia sneered, his tone full of disdain, "You don't want to take risks but want to get benefits. That's the past. Your position is far less stable than you think. Under the impact of the wave of globalization, Disney is developing faster than you. Too many, and it’s hard to hear that you are just has-beens who have been left behind. If you hadn’t had the foundation to hold on, and the unexpected gains from your hard work in the Chinese market, you would have been kicked out long ago.”

"Don't tell me that's impossible. Twentieth Century Fox once thought the same thing, but in fact, when it was acquired by Disney, they had no power to fight back. They even wished they could be dismembered and sold."

If you want to rip yourself off, let's do it in the next life.

This Kevin also needs to be beaten, otherwise this guy will think that he is on his territory and have to follow his rules.

To be honest, Kevin didn't expect Xu Jia to be so tough and didn't leave him any room.

The corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and he wanted to say something more forceful, but looking at Xu Jia's cold eyes, he still couldn't.

He had a hunch that if he continued to be so tough, he would only get the results he didn't want to see.

"Xu, calm down, let's go over it again. In addition to the benefits you mentioned, I hope to see more benefits. You understand what I mean. You don't need to pay this price. The partners you invited in They are already wealthy, aren't they?" Kevin didn't even care about his own CEO's pretensions, and connected directly like a small businessman.

"They are rich and powerful, but you have forgotten that they were invited by me, and they are not Kaizi who should be ripped off by you. I will not allow this to happen. I hope that since we are standing in the same trench, we are comrades-in-arms." Relationship."

Xu Jia didn't compromise at all with Kevin's proposal, even if the other party's idea was to benefit himself at the expense of others, it didn't require Jiaxing to pay anything. On the contrary, he could get a lot of benefits.

The bottom line is always to retreat step by step, not to mention that he and Warner are not close enough to be complicit.

What he has never forgotten is that no matter how much the other party values ​​interests, the board of directors behind it also has a beautiful Chinese background. The two parties now seem to be close, but as long as they encounter slightly serious differences, they may become competitors or even life-or-death enemies.

However, seeing the other party's ugly face, Xu Jia said calmly: "You are too greedy. If you satisfy your current appetite, I'm afraid you will never be able to satisfy your future desires. What I can promise you is in the movie project." The funds will try our best to meet your needs at Warner, and the interests will be more biased towards you. All they need is the opportunity to get on the bus, and they don’t particularly value the income."

There must always be some sweeteners. The rich cash flow of Internet giants such as Alibaba and Penguin is a major advantage for Xu Jia to establish a streaming media company.

Money is not everything, but money can solve most things. At least the conditions he gave are enough to give Kevin some satisfaction.

"I just said that we are friends. Don't worry, I will mention it to the board of directors later. I believe they will not refuse this opportunity to catch up with the trend." Kevin joked.

This is the case in the business world. One second, two parties may be fighting each other to the death, and the next second, they may become close partners. It may not even be impossible for two identities to exist at the same time.

"Then I will assume that you agree. Apart from this matter, let's talk about "The Meg 2". The sequel cannot be changed to two male protagonists as you said. Yang Mi must still be one of the core members. Understand. Am I saying what I mean? I don’t care who the other actor is, the heroine must be Yang Mi." Xu Jia said firmly.

Ever since the first part of "The Meg" became popular, many forces have been eyeing this project. Not only the beautiful country, but also the domestic ones are extremely enthusiastic. As long as they insert their own artists into it, they can buy it back and promote it to the international community. Superstar.

There are many people eyeing Damimi's position. Xu Jia is planning to promote the former to the international film industry. Naturally, the "Meg" series cannot be left behind.
