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

Representatives of Cj Entertainment and Toho Co., Ltd. sat together, but the two sides looked at each other with disdain, and neither one looked down on the other.

Representatives from Penguin, Jingdong and Pin Xixi gathered together, representatives from Alibaba and Byte were mixed together, and the small conference room was divided into various factions.

But the moment Xu Jia walked into the conference room, everyone stood up subconsciously and paid attention to this man. This was a sign of respect for a top industry leader.

People like the Wang brothers, who make an industry so low, are looked down upon by no one. But if Xu Jia can reach this scale from a small entertainment industry, then they all have to admire them, including the big guys behind the group. Guys like Ma Huateng and Ma Yun should not be underestimated when facing Xu Jia.

To be honest, if the industry hadn't restricted Jiaxing's expansion, they wouldn't be able to cooperate so harmoniously with Jiaxing. Even so, we actually have occasional frictions and estrangements, which also shows that Jiaxing is on the road to becoming a giant. .

Only between giants and giants will it be difficult to integrate.

"You have all seen the results of "Squid Game". The number of views on the first day exceeded 5 million, and now it has exceeded 10 million. It is foreseeable that it is only a matter of time before it takes the world by storm. Even the leading actor Duan Yihong has already established himself overseas. fans, including supporting actors, the global popularity has also increased to some extent."

Xu Jia looked around at everyone, all of them showing no fluctuations on the surface, but in reality their eyes were full of small thoughts, and then he said calmly: "This is a piece of cake, a sweet and delicious cake, it just depends on who eats it. How much you eat, and whether you can still eat it in the future, depends on everyone's subsequent performance, do you understand what I mean?"

Sprinkling this handful of bait will soon make the guys in front of them become jealous. They are eager for overseas markets more than anyone else.

Whether it is domestic giants such as CJ, Toho Club, or Penguin Ali, they all need channels to the overseas market. It is difficult to do it with their own strength, even if they unite together, it is difficult just because of Xu Jia's leadership. I just saw this glimmer of hope, so I naturally had to seize it with all my strength.

"Mr. Xu, we will do whatever you say, and everything will be at your discretion." The person in charge of Ali said first.

Alibaba Entertainment has also invested a lot in the global entertainment strategy, but there has been no progress. Seeing that streaming media has no intention of doing anything, it quickly paid attention.

"We are the same, we all listen to you." Others echoed.

"Since everyone praises me, Mr. Xu, so much, I won't be polite."

Xu Jia handed over his hand in a pretentious manner, and then said solemnly: "First, at least 100 million US dollars must be invested in the promotion of "Squid Game". Don't think about earning it back in a short time when you invest this money. The main thing is to invest it." Our platform is promoted to enough users. Secondly, we need to spend at least another 100 million US dollars in production funds to attract enough producers and projects to produce for us. Without enough high-quality content output, even if It’s hard to attract users but also hard to retain them, you should understand these two points.”

"Third, "Aquaman" is expected to be released at the end of the year, and "Oppenheimer" will be released after the new year. One will be placed in the Lunar New Year period and the other will be placed in the Spring Festival period. The publicity funds will also start at 100 million US dollars each. , these two projects were specially selected by me as a stepping stone in the international market. I would rather make a profitable movie and lose money, but also want to build my reputation."

"Whoever doesn't want to pay this money can withdraw and I'll fill it in. It doesn't matter."

For a production company, it may choose to find the right funding node and maximize benefits, but for Xu Jia, making money is secondary. If the money can be spent through this movie to leverage greater fame, then Only then did he achieve his goal.

How much more can one movie make? But when a streaming media platform is successfully built, as long as Xu Jia wants to, selling it for billions of dollars is just like playing it. Don’t underestimate this kind of entertainment and public opinion position. No matter how many forces want to buy it, they can’t buy it.

Everyone looked at each other and agreed to the investment without even thinking about it.

Anyone who gets kicked out because of money at this time would be a big fool.

…

Arriving in Los Angeles again, compared to the obscurity before, Xu Jia saw Kevin and his team from Warner waiting for him as soon as he got off the plane.

"Xu, welcome to America. We have specially prepared a celebration banquet for you." Kevin said with a smile.

"Haha, it's not my first time here. It's so grand." Xu Jia said casually.

This guy actually drove his car in front of the plane. Without even thinking about it, it must have been the popularity of "Squid Game" that made this guy see the potential of streaming media that he didn't pay attention to before, so he took the trouble to do it.

"That's different. Although you were successful before, it was more limited to China. Now you are famous in Hollywood, and you will face a completely different America." Kevin said.

Just like a sentence in the ancient TV series "Beijing Man in New York", if you love him, then you send him to New York, because it is heaven; if you hate him, send him to New York, because it is hell. .

The same applies to the United States. People of different statuses enjoy completely different treatment and see completely different scenery in the United States. Xu Jia is now obviously qualified to move up to a new class.

But Xu Jia was very calm, glanced at Kevin and said leisurely: "What America is like is not important to me, what I am is the most important, isn't it? Please take me to a cleaner place, we have to Let’s talk about other things.”

Are you trying to corrupt him with this sugar-coated bullet?

Are you kidding me, where is this? If he is satisfied with this, he will only be assimilated by the other party, and slowly he will be like those predecessors who tried to break into the world, lost in temporary success, and then one day break through Fantasy left in despair.

When Kevin heard this, his eyes changed when he looked at Xu Jia. After a long while, he nodded and said, "Okay, as you said, let's move to a clean place."

From this moment on, he truly put Xu Jia on the same level as Warner.

In the past, he and Xu Jia had a good relationship. In his opinion, the other party was at most his help, and both parties used each other. But it is different now. Putting Xu Jia on the same level as Warner means that the latter is higher than him. layer.

After all, he is only the president of Warner, and Xu Jia is the controller of Jiaxing.

"Well, what I'm here to talk about this time is not "Squid Game", but "Aquaman". We always have to look forward, right?"

Xu Jia got into the car. At this moment, he was more like the owner of the car than Kevin.
