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

Xu Jia was really not qualified to say anything about this matter.

It's obvious that Zhou Yu is beating Huang Gai. One is willing to hit and the other is willing to suffer. If Hu Ge and Liao Fan are happy, then who cares?

What's more, in the final analysis, it is for the film, and Xu Jia, as an investor, is the beneficiary.

Of course, Lao Hu and Liao Fan's agents may not think so.

"Let's get down to business. Why did you come to me? Don't just chat with me. I understand you clearly. You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. If you come to me, you must have hidden ideas." Xu Jia said with a certain tone. .

Investors like myself who limit the creative space of the other party will definitely be disliked by the other party.

After all, Jiang Wen's creative space used to be quite free, and many investors were afraid of running away. However, when Xu Jia came here, he had a non-servient attitude whether he wanted to shoot or not.

If the other party can lower his body and appear in front of him, 99% of the time it's not a good thing. He is probably thinking about his pocket.

"If I don't say that you have great insight, your vision is precise. You can see all my thoughts. No wonder Jiaxing is developing so fast. It is inevitable to have a boss like you."

The top hats Jiang Wen spoke of were put on by Xu Jia one after another. Just coming from this guy's mouth, there was a bit of a yin and yang meaning.

The latter also realized this and quickly added: "I really think so. If nothing else, the atmosphere in the film and television industry has really improved a lot, and you and Jiaxing account for at least half of it."

When you praise someone, the truth is particularly touching.

Seeing Jiang Wen, who was always known as having a perverse temper, trying so hard to flatter him, Xu Jia became increasingly vigilant.

To make this guy lower his bottom line, it must be a big request.

"Director Jiang, don't wear your high hat. If you have something to say, if I can help you solve it, then that's easy. If not, nothing you say can change my decision." Xu Jia said bluntly.

In terms of the other party's shooting style, he didn't think he would sacrifice a lot of interests to fulfill the other party just for a few nice words.

Jiang Wen rubbed his hands, smiled and said, "I want to restore the scene in Peiping in Yunnan Province, and then the real-life shooting will be more high-quality."

"Just tell me how many square meters this setting will cover and how much it will cost?" Xu Jia said calmly.

"Forty thousand square meters, the cost needs to be calculated again, but I am sure that after this scene is completed, the quality of the movie will definitely be greatly improved." Jiang Wen vowed.

After saying that, he quietly waited for Xu Jia to make a decision. The other party was from the circle. He didn't expect that he could deceive the other party. It only depended on whether Xu Jia was willing to pay for the setting.

"Ahem, if we were to do it, the cost would be at least 50 million, depending on the specific needs." Xu Yongan interjected from the side.

This involves the professional scope of their group. Fifty million is just his rough estimate. Based on Jiang Wen's needs, the budget may have to be increased later.

"That is to say, for this setting, it will cost one-third of the film's investment. In this way, the cost of Huang Bo's "A Good Show" may be your setting expenses. He brought me two With a box office of more than 1 billion, can "The Righteous" do it? I told you at the beginning that I don't expect this movie to make me any money, but at least the expenses must be spent on reasonable places. Do you think I will take my money? Money allows you to satisfy your own desires?" Xu Jia said bluntly.

This guy really misappropriates money. The cost of more than 50 million is enough to shoot a mid-range movie. Jiang Wen planned to set up a scene and spent other people's money very lavishly.

The key point is that he has read the script. It is not certain how much the quality of this scene will be improved. There are plans with lower budgets that can achieve similar results.

When Cameron built a big ship, it was because the setting of "Titanic" was very important, including the fact that director Xie Jin built a city when filming "The Opium War". With the prototype of Hengdian Film and Television City, it was really needed for the movie, and the final result was The compensation is huge.

But does "The Evil Can Suppress the Right" really need to restore the so-called appearance of Beiping?

In Xu Jia's view, this is Jiang Wen pursuing his own artistic perfection, but forgetting that the money did not come from the strong wind. Let this guy try to make a movie with his own money to see if he is not so extravagant and wasteful. .

There are people who are willing to devote themselves to art, but they are definitely not like Jiang Wen. They seem to be stubborn and upright, but in fact they are very smooth in dealing with people. If they don't understand the world, they will not be where they are today.

Jiang Wen scratched his head. He knew that Xu Jia was not that easy to persuade, and he did not have enough confidence in his heart.

Seeing the atmosphere between the two of them stagnating, everyone in the venue who was paying attention to this direction felt a little embarrassed.

Jiang Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "I really care about the movie. You can give me some conditions on how to agree to my request."

He is serious about the movie, but the conflict between the two parties is based on their respective positions.

"Do you think your business value can be worth more than 80 million? Even if you run notices for me for a year, you can't make any money. It's not that I don't want to provide funds, but it must be within a reasonable range. It is impossible for the capital to be left unchecked." Are you going to splurge? Unless you can still make money, but the reality is that you are more likely to lose money.”

Xu Jia paused, looked at Jiang Wen who refused to admit defeat, and said, "How about we sign a gambling agreement. If the movie loses money, you will bear the loss personally. How about that?"

In just one sentence, Jiang Wen was given to the general. If, as Xu Jia said, he would lose hundreds of millions by then, then he would have lost a fortune.

"Then according to what you said, if I make money, the extra part will also be mine?" Jiang Wen said with absurd reasoning.

"Okay, we can sign a contract, and I'll give you half of the extra money." Xu Jia said cheerfully.

It's just that he dared to accept this bet, but Jiang Wen didn't dare to accept it.

This guy himself knows that it is not that easy to make money from this movie. The main reason is that he is currently doing well in the box office market with "Let the Bullets Fly." There are still some.

Seeing that Jiang Wen was beaten like a wilted eggplant, he never regained his previous high spirits.

Xu Jiacai came up with a new plan and said slowly: "In this way, I will try my best to help you with this setting, but I can't guarantee that it will be in Yunnan Province. In addition, when the time comes for the promotional activities of "The Evil Will Not Suppress the Good", you must cooperate with us unconditionally. It's a good schedule, and if there is a suitable project later, you have to come and act."

The two sides continued to stalemate, and he believed that he would undoubtedly win the final victory, but he had a better plan.

Jiang Wen's fame is there, and various places are trying their best to increase their attractiveness to tourists. Instead of spending so much money on spectacles, it is better to use it to set up scenes for movies and attract tourists when the time comes. This does not kill two birds with one stone. .
