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

"Wait a minute, I'll count one for you."

After Xu Jia finished speaking, he made the shape of a magic stick with his hands and muttered something: "The sky is spirited, the earth is spirited, the Supreme Lord will soon appear..."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes. They have been friends for many years. How could she not see that Xu Jia was teasing her.

But she really doubted whether it was really useful.

After all, this guy's metaphysics is really serious, and many things are a bit unscientific.

"Jiang Qiming, at the Magic City Grand Theater now, you can invite me to audition." Xu Jia said with a raised corner of his mouth.

"You're serious, don't just come up with a fake name and fool me."

Yang Mi was immediately shocked. This guy looked like the real thing. Then she asked someone to check the name of Jiang Qi from the Magic City Grand Theater.

The information was sent over there, and looking at the face in the photo that was different from the normal aesthetic, but more wild, her first impression was that the appearance was quite suitable.

And at such a young age, he can rehearse at the Magic City Grand Theater, so there is no need to worry about his acting skills.

Hey, it’s amazing!

"How did you know?" Yang Mi looked at Xu Jia in surprise.

"Haha, he has submitted information to us before. Our actor database is very developed now. I am quite impressed by his face. You don't really think I can tell fortunes, do you?" Xu Jia said in an exaggerated tone.

What he said was eight percent true and two percent false. It was true because the other party had indeed delivered the information, and false because he was much more accurate than a fortune teller.

"I'll go back and invite him over to give it a try. Judging from the appearance alone, it feels quite suitable. It depends on Director Liu." Yang Mi was too lazy to pay attention to Xu Jia and accepted the reason.

Xu Jia's face turned serious: "You are the producer. Although you have to refer to the director's opinion, the decision-making power is yours. It will not be so easy to get the rights back after you transfer them. If it were someone else, I would definitely give it back." I tend to be a director, but you are also a filmmaker, so you are no stranger to related matters, so it is better to follow your own ideas."

He was afraid that if Yang Mi trusted others too much, she would be easily ignored.

Then the meaning of letting the other party prepare the project by themselves is lost.

While the two were talking, they reached the end of the red carpet.

The host is specially invited He Jiong. As the cooperation between Jiaxing and Mango Channel deepens, the latter has also become the official host of many events in Jiaxing.

The main thing is that he has a wide network of contacts and a sharp eye, so he will not overwhelm others.

He is also the resident host of many of the company's variety shows and is familiar to everyone.

"Mr. Xu and our Mimi are invited to come. I would like to ask Mr. Xu, what is your outlook for the box office of "Sewing Machine Band"?" He Jiong asked with a smile.

These interviews will later be used to promote the movie. Xu Jia is so popular now that he cannot let it go.

"Let's start with five small goals. In fact, apart from the box office, what I hope everyone can see is the sincerity that Director Dapeng brings to everyone with this movie, so that the audience can truly feel that we are serious about making movies."

Xu Jia's answer was very Versailles, but that's what he really thought.

The boom in the domestic film market in recent years has also attracted too many speculators.

They don't care about the so-called story at all. They just pile up a star cast, and then increase publicity and deceive the audience into it. When these people mess up the film industry, they leave with a slap on the butt, leaving behind a mess. Those who come down clean up.

In the past, he wouldn't have bothered to care so much, but now Jiaxing, as the leader of Chinese films, must shoulder the rise and fall of the industry, and at least set an example.

After answering He Jiong's question, Xu Jia took Yang Mi to the front seat.

"Five hundred million is already very high for a movie of this type. Don't overturn it again." Yang Mi said worriedly.

Don’t think that every movie has a high box office. In fact, there are only a few movies, and they are all still in Jiaxing.

According to the industry's speculation on "Sewing Machine Band", everyone thinks that 500 million is the upper limit for this film, and it is still supported by Jiaxing's reputation.

"I'm talking about a starting price of 500 million. You would think that one million in live broadcast pre-sales would not be much at the box office, but this movie's pre-sale has created the beginning of live broadcast e-commerce, and the value is much better in terms of publicity, and this is not what I value. Regarding movies, Dapeng said from the beginning that what Jiaxing wants to do is to be able to produce movies stably, without the need for hit movies one after another. If they can be above the passing mark, they can ensure a virtuous cycle for the company."

Xu Jia patiently explained to Yang Mi, "Our income not only comes from the box office, but also the later copyrights and peripherals are long-term income. Director Dapeng is at least a successful commercial film director. Most domestic directors do not have such commercial attributes. , from this point of view, he is one of the few directors in China who can make money."

"Just like Director Liu, who you work with, if his films are only calculated based on box office, they basically lose money, and it is difficult to recover the cost by relying on post-production copyrights. He is already a mainstay among domestic directors, and it is conceivable that he can make money. How rare it is for directors."

In fact, it's not that everyone doesn't know this truth, it's just that Jiaxing's past record is too strong.

"Mr. Xu."

Deng Chao led his daughter-in-law Sun Li from behind to say hello.

"How is the editing of the film going? I have time to join in the fun." Xu Jiaxiao asked.

This couple is a rare couple in the industry who can be popular at the same time. Under normal circumstances, the woman will reduce her career and devote more energy to her family.

Many A-list actresses abdicate because of marriage, thus leaving space for others behind them.

On the contrary, once the male star sits on it, his buttocks will basically not move unless there is an accident.

In fact, Sun Li also reduced her career investment, but who would have thought that a "The Legend of Zhen Huan" would help her return to the top, or even surpass it, and that one drama could last ten years.

Before Xu Jia was reborn, Zhen Huan Chuan had always been on many people's list of second picks.

"Yu Baimei is watching over there. I came over in advance to see what the process is like here." Deng Chao said.

This film was co-directed by him and Yu Baimei. These two guys seemed to be wearing the same pants. As long as it was a movie invested by Deng Chao, Yu Baimei must be present.

But having said that, it may be that the success of "The Breakup Master" gave the two fans confidence, or it may be that the combination of the two is already relatively reliable in the film industry and there is no shortage of investment.

The reason why Deng Chao came to attend the premiere of "Sewing Machine Band" was because his and Dapeng's situations were actually very similar.

Both of their previous works have consumed a lot of audience popularity, and they are currently in a period of unrecovery.

Choosing to cooperate with Jiaxing is because Jiaxing's reputation can offset their own negative influence. Whether they can turn around depends on this.

Dapeng took the road first, and Deng Chao came to take a look to avoid getting stuck again.
