"Xu, it's not that I don't want to agree to your request, it's that I don't have the power, even if I am the president of Warner. Do you understand what I mean? There are other directors in the group, and they will not allow me to lose the interests of the group to benefit outsiders. "Kevin said helplessly.

Xu Jia couldn't tell whether the other party was pretending to be helpless or really helpless, but the easiest way to deal with such an old fox was that you fight with others and I fight with others.

He said with a straight face: "This is non-negotiable. The domestic box office of "The Meg" has at least exceeded that of your North American homeland, and has even almost reached the same level as the global box office except for China. Tell me this kind of result, Do you think this is sacrificing the interests of the group? Then I will withdraw my capital from this project, and you can help yourself, but don’t help me, an outsider."

These Hollywood guys are all blood-sucking mosquitoes. They are all full of fat and feel like others are robbing them of their food.

As everyone knows, without themselves, they can't even suck blood.

"Wait a minute, you are too impatient. I didn't say it can't be done, but we can consider changing the method of cooperation. For example, how about switching to a dual-male protagonist model? Change it to Jason and Wu Jing. The latter heard in China Isn't it very popular, and he is also from your Jiaxing family." Kevin suggested.

Xu Jia shook his head. In his previous life, "The Meg 2" was co-starred by Wu Jing and Jason.

In fact, the domestic box office is average, and the overseas box office is okay. However, the setting of dual male protagonists was also tampered with by these guys into a single male protagonist, and even the poster was changed to show Jason alone.

The most important thing is that this series is an important channel that Xu Jia specially found for Yang Mi to promote internationally. Without this project, others will only feel that Jia Xing is in trouble.

Thinking of this, he said solemnly: "There is no need to change this. I think Jason can be replaced by another male star. If that doesn't work, I can also find someone else to cooperate. I think Robert from Disneyland is very willing to cooperate with me." Tiger, giant toothed dog, no matter what it is, I believe he will be interested in the Chinese film market."

Hearing that Xu Jia threatened to find Robert from Disneyland, Kevin immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay, I listen to you, just follow the dual protagonist model of Yang Mi and Jason, let's talk about other things. Okay."

It's not that his knees are weak, it's that he knows the temperament of Disney CEO Robert very well. The latter is eager to break up with Xu Jia so that he can take advantage of the situation.

Robert may have looked down on Jiaxing before, but as long as he saw that Warner had gained some benefits from the cooperation with Jiaxing, he would be willing to pay a lot of money to snatch it away. The food in other people's bowls is always the most fragrant.

"Talk about something else? Like what." Xu Jia raised his eyebrows.

"For example, we can start a new project. It is enough to carry out the "Meg" series step by step. We can completely focus on the new series. If you have any projects that you like, we can work together to develop and produce them." Kevin said.

He doesn't care where the other party's rumored accurate vision comes from, but there is no shortage of people in the entertainment industry who are superstitious about luck. There are always some darlings who can get the favor of the goddess of luck. They go smoothly and are always on the road to success.

Just like some actors, the movies they star in would be easily rejected by others, but by themselves they would be quite popular with the audience. This kind of audience connection is something that cannot be explained.

What Kevin has to do is to stand by Lucky Darling's side and achieve success together.

Regarding Kevin's proposal, Xu Jia actually had an idea in mind. After all, there are still many treasures in the copyrights that Warner has accumulated over the years that have not been unearthed or are about to be unearthed.

He rubbed his chin and pondered for a long time before speaking to Kevin's expectant gaze: "As for the projects I'm interested in, I actually have one. The Marvel superhero series is very popular in China right now. We can work together to develop it." A DC Comics superhero comes out.”

In fact, since the popularity of the Marvel superhero series, the craze for comic book adaptations has long swept the global film and television industry. After all, Dapeng followed the trend and made "Pancake Man", which was scolded for several years.

"It's not that we haven't considered it, it's just that the development potential of DC comics is not as good as expected. So far, only two series, Batman and Superman, have been successful, and the others have failed as hard as ever." Kevin sighed.

If outsiders saw it, they would not believe that their president would show such a down-to-earth look. That is because the level difference between the two parties is too far. In front of Xu Jia, a partner, Kevin seems to be much more relaxed, and some things are hidden in his heart. I also dare to show my emotions.

He has to act tough in front of his subordinates, and confident in front of directors. Only Xu Jia, who is also a collaborator and a friend, can take off his mask.

"Just because others have failed, it does not mean that we will fail. If I remember correctly, the copyright of "Aquaman" should be in the hands of Warner. If you are interested in cooperating, it will be regarded as the first step in the launch of our streaming media company. A project." Xu Jia said with the corner of his mouth raised.

"Aquaman" is one of the few DC comic superheroes that can gain momentum.

Although it is not as popular as Batman and Superman, and is only second-rate among many DC heroes, it has performed well in the global film market with its excellent plot and special effects.

He had taken a fancy to this copyright very early, and the reason why he never opened his mouth was because Jiaxing had insufficient background, and even if he proposed cooperation, the fruits of success would only be stolen.

"Aquaman? Why did you choose this story?"

Kevin frowned slightly. They also had internal plans to produce the copyright for "Aquaman", but it was not taken seriously by the group. First, the hero was not very popular, and second, the DC movie adaptation of "Justice League" that was previously developed failed. It was such a complete failure that they hesitated to adapt the DC comics.

"The background of this story is more innovative than other superheroes. The urban plot has basically been written badly by Marvel. They have even expanded their territory to the universe. Why don't we change our thinking and switch from land to sea, giving A more novel viewing experience for the audience.”

Xu Jia kept making nonsense. In fact, the popularity of "Aquaman" was due to his director's ability to make such a superhero movie so smoothly. And this director was also the one he was determined to win over. "I am the director." I recommend James Wan. I have seen the style of movies he has directed, and he can often bring surprises to the film from an unexpected direction."
