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

The domestic film and television industry is booming, and the same is true overseas.

Various entertainment giants have begun their own money-burning wars, and major productions have been launched one after another.

A DC comic book adaptation movie called "Aquaman" has also been quietly approved.

This comic is considered second-tier among DC comics. It is not valued and sought after by film and television producers, and its fans are far less than other popular IPs.

What is eye-catching is the rare Chinese investment background behind the project.

Of course, with the development of film and television globalization, China's investment has gradually increased, but so far it is still a very small number of investors.

Not to mention that the heroine of this project is a Chinese actress.

"Why is Queen Mera a Chinese? How can this kind of movie have a market in North America? I think it must be replaced!"

The person who spoke was one of the producers sent by Warner. Apparently, the latter also discovered the flirtation between Lorenzo and Xu Jia. The two were so close that Warner didn't trust Lorenzo's loyalty at all. degree.

The first thing the new guy sent over was to question the choice of the heroine.

In addition to the fact that the heroine is related to the performance of the movie, the benefits that can be obtained in return for a major role are not few. This is to compete for power.

After all, in the eyes of these Hollywood people, they are the superior ones in the project, and the suggestions they give must be implemented.

"Replacement? You can propose to the people behind you to convene a board of directors at Warner to see if they have the ability to replace the heroine."

Lorenzo sneered and said disdainfully: "But in my opinion, the one who will be replaced will probably be you."

Both of these people were from Warner Bros., and all the other staff members were watching and pretending they didn't see anything.

They have big bosses behind them, but they don't, so they might become the victims.

Jingle Bell!

Lorenzo's cell phone rang. He glanced at the frustrated producer and picked up the phone.

"I will arrive in the preparation room soon. The materials and other materials are ready. I will look at them later." Xu Jia's voice came.

Lorenzo's eyes flashed with joy and he said, "Okay, I'll prepare it for you right away."

He is somewhat alone in the crew, and the team for this project is mainly from Warner. Although he is from Warner, everyone knows that this guy is not aligned with Warner.

Therefore, the atmosphere on the crew is sometimes quite complicated. Even Lorenzo, as a veteran producer, can't help but be overwhelmed when faced with such a complicated environment. But now that Xu Jia is here, many difficulties have been solved.

Things that were inconvenient for him to communicate with Warner and things that he was not qualified to do would not be a problem if Xu Jia went there.

After answering the phone, Lorenzo glanced at the other producer, sneered and stopped arguing with him.

He knew Xu Jia very well. Now that the latter is here, the other person's good days are over. It's hard to say whether he can see her again on the set in the future.

Another producer felt a chill in his heart, and instantly had a premonition of impending disaster.

Realizing that Lorenzo might have someone to rely on, he quickly contacted the backer behind him.

After a while.

Xu Jia appeared in the preparation room of "Aquaman".

This project is a project of a streaming media company. It was only because the team was Warner's staff in Hollywood that it was placed in North America for preliminary preparations.

So when Xu Jia comes here, it's the same as going back to his own home.

"How far is the film in preparation? Where is the director James Wan?" Xu Jia asked.

Compared with other projects, the "Aquaman" project is the top priority of the streaming media company.

As long as there are achievements in the previous life, even if the company has established a firm foothold in the global market, the road ahead will be much easier. Everything is difficult at the beginning.

"The production team has been assembled and is currently in the casting stage. Director Wen is screening actor information," Lorenzo said.

While reporting the project team's information to Xu Jia, he handed over the compiled information, applied eye medicine and said: "But Director Wen is not here, the project team is still supervised by this producer. He is responsible for the heroine in the project." There seems to be some opinions on the choice of actors.”

Aren't you going against yourself? Aren't you trying to change the heroine?

If you can, just tell him in front of Mr. Xu and show him how many eyes Lord Ma has.

The producer was surprised by this move and had to accept the challenge.

"I do have an opinion in this regard. Mera is a Chinese actress. This will be a huge blow to the North American market and even have a big impact on the global film market. Can the project be brought to fruition simply by relying on the Chinese market? It’s completely unknown how the box office will be supported,” the producer said, neither humble nor overbearing.

He does have his own selfish motives, but he can guarantee that there is no problem with him on the surface. Originally, the choice of the heroine was a matter of subjective will.

Maybe I think this actor is good, but he thinks another actor is playing the role as he is, so I can’t tell who is right and who is wrong.

It's a pity that he met Xu Jia.

"Whether we can support the project's box office is not important. What is important is that the box office market we have grasped so far and deeply cultivated is the Asian market. The North American market and the European box office market may have greater potential, but if we can't catch it in our own pockets, we will lose money." What's the point, not to mention that a Chinese heroine will affect the film's performance, which means that the quality of the film is average, so it is better not to initiate the project."

Xu Jia retorted without thinking. Are you kidding me? If you dare to touch his queen, you are just playing with fire.

It was just because of this jealousy that he made dumplings. In order to let Damimi be the heroine, he worked hard to get the "Aquaman" project approved in advance, and even roped in Warner Bros. and other investors.

If it weren't for Yang Mi, he would have wrapped up the IP himself. Anyway, if he couldn't eat it, he would never let others eat it easily.

"I have already reported it to the director of the group, Contense. The director's opinion is also that he hopes to replace the heroine as soon as possible, based on project performance rather than for his own personal gain." The producer said sternly said.

Hearing this, Xu Jia raised his eyebrows. This was a thief shouting to catch the thief.

The key is that Jiaxing is the largest investor in this project, while Warner's investment ratio is not high, and more IP is invested in it. In this case, he is equivalent to the major shareholder of this project.

It's a good thing now that the major shareholder is being questioned by the people below for practicing favoritism.

This was such a big joke. He simply didn't regard himself as a dish. This kind of contempt made Xu Jia's heart burn with anger.

"Constance, the director of Warner Group? You can tell him now that it is impossible to replace the heroine even if he is replaced. If he continues to meddle in other people's business and worry about something he shouldn't, then he will get as far away from me as possible. He's just a director, he's not sensible at all." Xu Jia said coldly.
