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

By the time we arrived at the company acquired by Lorenzo, the sky was gradually getting dark.

After seeing their real big boss, these employees did not show any emotions on the surface.

After all, they only care about whether someone pays them a salary. At least Xu Jia ensured that they would still have jobs even if the company's performance deteriorated.

Don’t think that in the United States, everyone doesn’t worry about unemployment.

Given the American people's habit of excessive consumption, having a stable job is also a dream for them.

"This is your real BOSS. From now on, his words will be even higher than mine. If anyone is disobedient and has any opinions, you must get out at any time." Lorenzo said without being polite at all.

After these people leave the company, it will be difficult to find a more suitable job. Obviously no company will accept failed employees, at least it is difficult to achieve the same salary and benefits.

"Yes, I understand." Everyone responded in unison.

As long as Xu Jia's requirements are within a reasonable range, they know which is more important, their jobs or their subjective opinions.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to give you authority, or to establish so-called authority to you. That thing is of no use to me. What you have to do is to execute my orders and achieve success. When the time comes, whether it's fame or glory, Your share of the profits will not be lost." Xu Jia said slowly.

He didn't have time to train these people or get familiar with the relationship between the two parties. He only looked at the results and didn't care about the process.

Everyone also realized what Xu Jia meant, and their expressions gradually became serious.

Whether their boss is playing tricks or working seriously can be felt from his aura, and Xu Jia gave them a much stronger feeling than their previous boss.

And Lorenzo, a well-known producer, also gave them a lot of confidence. The most important thing is from Lorenzo. They know that their big boss is a rich man, so they naturally look at each other with awe, especially in the United States. In this land, being rich means being superior to others.

"First of all, I want you to win the TV adaptation rights of "The Addams Family" in the shortest possible time. Currently, this adaptation right should be in the hands of Paramount Pictures. As far as I know, the current situation of Paramount Pictures It’s probably not ideal, the price for getting this adaptation right won’t be too high, the exact amount will depend on your performance.” Xu Jia gave the order.

He has relatively little contact with Paramount, but in 2015, Alibaba did cooperate with Paramount and invested in "Mission: Impossible 5". But even so, his Chinese background cannot be exposed, otherwise he will be regarded as Hollywood filmmakers are biased against the nouveau riche of Chinese investors and are determined to open their mouths.

If the other party knew that the investor behind it was him, then the asking price would probably be even more severe. He might decide that the show has a future and would not sell it and produce it himself.

"Okay, leave this task of acquiring the adaptation rights to me. I have acquaintances with Paramount. It won't be a big problem to discuss the TV series adaptation rights of "The Addams Family". They generally don't pay attention to TV series, but there is news for me. I have to remind you that MGM is producing a spin-off animation of "The Addams Family", do you think?" Lorenzo took the lead in taking over this most important task, and he felt relieved.

Compared with original dramas, this kind of IP drama with its own fan base obviously has a higher chance of success and is easier to produce.

"It doesn't matter. They make their cartoons and we make our TV series. The two don't interfere with each other, and they can also keep prices down."

Xu Jia shook his head. Not only do cartoons and live-action TV series have no conflict, they can also complement each other. When the time comes, he can even borrow MGM's publicity, and of course, it is more likely that the other party will borrow his own.

Then he continued: "Secondly, as the director of this series, I have taken a liking to Tim Burton. He is better at this horror-fantasy style. Do you think he might agree to the invitation?"

This Tim Burton is extraordinary. He is a master-level figure in the horror and fantasy field of film and television dramas. Movies such as "Edward Scissorhands", "Big Fish", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Corpse Bride" are all produced by him. hand.

As a successful film director, it is difficult to say whether the other party will be willing to join their small company in the filming of TV series. After all, this is not China, and this company is not Jiaxing.

And even Jiaxing's name is actually useless in Hollywood, but for Xu Jia, the director can be said to be the first core figure in the success of a TV series, especially this IP work. To test the director's skills, Tim Burton is the top priority.

"It's still possible. Director Tim released "Miss Peregrine's Fantasy Castle" in 2016, with average results. To recover the cost, it may take a long time to sell the disc. For the film investors, One is China’s Bona, he took a break for a while after this movie, and I haven’t heard of him having any work at the moment,” Lorenzo said.

He has long been used to Xu Jia's easy selection of people for the series.

This scene fell in the eyes of all the employees on the side. They all thought that the boss had done enough homework in advance, but they didn't know that Xu Jia's subsequent operations were even more astonishing.

"Then Tim Burton is tentatively selected. As long as he is willing to direct, we can try our best to agree to the conditions he wants. The heroine Wednesday Adams is looking for actress Jenna to play the leading role in "Fun 1", Mo Ticia is looking for the actress Catherine, and Gomozi is looking for Luis Guzmán..."

Xu Jia was very familiar with the actors he was looking for for the main and supporting roles in this series. He read out eight names in a row, which made everyone present dumbfounded. Why the hell is there such a casting choice?

The key is that they went through the actors in their minds, and they actually felt that the image seemed quite suitable.

You must know that these actors, even local filmmakers, would not immediately think that the other party could pick out the right person in such a short time and be more professional than them. How could they not doubt their life.

Not to mention being arrogant, they looked up to Xu Jia now. Is this Chinese witchcraft?

How amazing!

"You decide for yourself the rest of the actors. I will put this drama on a streaming platform, and then we will cooperate with Tik Tok. You must know how big the traffic of this platform is. As long as this drama can Success, you will no longer be unknown clerks in the future. I guarantee that even if you don’t want to work with me one day, you can easily find a new job. But all the choices depend on you, so work hard or get out. , leave it to you."

Xu Jia looked around and spoke neither too fast nor too slowly. This was his first team in the United States.
