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

Guo Fan?

Come to think of it, he is the only one who has experience directing science fiction movies.

Moreover, "The Wandering Earth" broke the box office record only a month ago, and its prestige is still there.

"Then decide on him, as long as you and Cheng Long think it's suitable."

Xu Jia nodded, this little thing is insignificant. In the final analysis, this movie depends on two points. The first is Cheng Long's global influence, and the second is whether it can be made into a science fiction movie.

He previously selected Shawn Levy because he was the director of the original film, and because he had a certain reputation in Hollywood and was suitable for global distribution, he specifically found him.

But since the other party doesn't understand, the impact of changing to another person won't be that big.

After all, science fiction movies and special effects are the most popular way of communication for the audience. Just like Hollywood blockbusters, you don’t need to know English. It is enough to be able to understand the big scenes and the big horses.

"Well, our shooting location is set at the special effects studio of "The Wandering Earth". We were invited to go there by Wanda Wang Shicong. After an internal price-performance comparison, we decided on this place."

"The filming starts in November. Before then, we have to leave time for Director Guo Fan to prepare. After all, science fiction movies are no better than other movies. Both props and special effects must be planned in advance, and Cheng Long's side can only wait until November." There is a schedule." Lorenzo reported.

As a veteran producer, this guy is quite reliable in terms of professional abilities.

This is why Xu Jia confidently handed over the two major projects "Operation Red Sea" and "Out of Control Player" to the latter.

At least in terms of project production, the other party is one of the best experts in Jiaxing.

"Just make your decision. Is there any news from Hollywood?" Xu Jia asked instead.

After experiencing the internal chaos, he immediately pointed the finger behind the scenes at the Hollywood gang.

Except for them, others who have this ability do not have this intention, and those who have this intention do not have this ability.

"As the meToo movement has gradually grown, most people have been involved. This ideological shift has had the greatest impact on the entertainment industry. Now many companies are afraid to start projects easily, for fear that they are on the wrong team. "Failure at the box office is only secondary. What I worry about most is that someone will use the topic to crucify it in public opinion." Lorenzo said.

The situation in the United States is very different from that in China. What China is most afraid of is being given a final verdict by the authorities.

Hollywood is just afraid of being ruined by the public because of public opinion.

It's simple. Except for giants like Disney and Warner, the rest of these entertainment companies are just self-sufficient small companies. No matter how they are bullied, no one will stand up and speak for them.

On the contrary, the public and everyone involved in the carnival of public opinion can benefit from attacking them.

Just like Harvey's fall.

His past reputation has been used as a stepping stone by countless people.

"Keep watching closely, and the heroine should also pay attention. I don't care about the integrity of the bullshit in America. I only want what the audience likes. Do you understand what I mean?" Xu Jia looked at Lorenzo.

If the latter is also brainwashed by the so-called upright and correct trend, then he will have to consider changing to someone else.

He would never compromise like that in the casting of Disney's "Mermaid".

But it was obvious that Lorenzo was a qualified filmmaker. He immediately patted his chest and said: "Your will is my pursuit. I will definitely find a beauty in the worldly sense. If you have any needs, I can help you." Make it work.”

As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes and eyebrows, and the implication was self-evident.

"Fuck you, I don't care about this kind of thing anywhere else, it's forbidden here." Xu Jia said impatiently.

To put it bluntly, in this circle, if you have a little bit of resources, most women will pounce on you. The unspoken rules are purely selfish and you have to use the little power you have to do something for your own benefit.

Even if it was just a hole, Xu Jia would not be able to open it.

"Haha, don't worry, not everyone has such strong tastes and lack of etiquette as Harvey."

Lorenzo chuckled. For most people in Hollywood, slumping exercise is just a spice, not a necessity.

…

After Guo Fan was confirmed as the director of "Out of Control Player".

When it spread to the outside world, I thought it would cause an uproar. After all, Zhang Guoshi, Chen Kaige and others are very famous. If it is given to a young descendant like Guo Fan, there is no guarantee that there will be no public opposition.

But Xu Jia underestimated the influence of "The Wandering Earth" because the movie has just been released.

As a film that focuses on special effects, the director is the first person to be noticed.

This was the time when Guo Fan was promoted to the altar.

After everyone heard that Guo Fan had taken over "Out of Control Player", their first reaction was to celebrate.

"Oh, this movie should be directed by Director Guo. It's not like we have no one in China, so why bother hiring a foreigner."

"Indeed, the combination of Guo Fan and Cheng Long is truly a lifetime series."

"I can't wait to watch this movie. It's hard to imagine what effect Brother Cheng Long's action scenes will have in a science fiction movie."

Netizens commented on Jiaxing’s official WeChat account one after another, and they were full of joy.

After they heard that the project of "Runaway Player" was approved, they used a Hollywood director, Sean Levy, to direct Cheng Long's science fiction action movie. In fact, they felt uncomfortable.

It's not nationalism, but people who use their own money to promote Hollywood. They encounter too many people.

But every time the output is garbage.

In this case, it is better to let your own people earn the money, and it is better to train your own people to live.

This is like "The Great Wall".

Youmei's film has been changed to a foreigner protecting the Great Wall, and the lead actor's salary is as high as 20 million U.S. dollars, so it's still not a hit.

At this time, Xu Jia was talking to those who lost the competition.

Everyone else was just adding to the situation, but the old man who looked bitter and resentful got Xu Jia's attention.

It is Zhang Yimou, Zhang Guoshi.

Not every director can have the title of National Master.

Even Zhang Yimou won various awards and brought honor to the country, and finally got a golden body in the 2008 Olympics.

Just like there are no actors in China who don't want to work with Zhang Guoshi, no company can refuse the temptation of investing in Zhang Guoshi.

It's very simple. Zhang Yimou understands the world.

At least the former's movies have never caused the studio to lose money so far.

No, there is still one, and that is the "The Great Wall" mentioned above.

The production cost was US$150 million, and it is known as the number one blockbuster in China, with a global box office of US$330 million.

In fact, it was only a small loss, but the public opinion it caused was not small.

Because the film performed poorly in the two major ticket markets that the film studio was targeting, one in Hollywood and the other in China. Both parties felt that it was completely different. Instead, it performed quite well in Eastern Europe and Latin regions.
