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

At the end of January, the global box office of "The Octagon" officially exceeded 3.5 billion.

However, the subsequent increase is basically better than nothing, so the celebration banquet held by Jiaxing was also fixed at 3.5 billion.

Wang Baoqiang became the focus of the audience. As another director who has successfully directed and acted, his commercial value has obviously increased a lot, and the director is indeed more attractive to investors than the actor.

"The streaming media side is also very happy about the success of the promotion of "The Octagon". Those involved probably didn't expect that the distribution system established by the streaming media company is so powerful, and now they can't leave even if they are asked." Zeng Jia said with a smile on her face.

She has grown a lot during this promotion and release, and has seen the upper limit of Jiaxing's rise, so she is naturally in a good mood.

"Haha, those guys always act according to the prevailing situation. Don't worry about what they think. The most important thing is to consolidate our distribution system. By the way, Wang Baoqiang needs to be tied up here. He has good reputation among the public. It is relatively good, and the subsequent works produced by this kind of director will be relatively stable, so you have to seize it." Xu Jia reminded.

He worked so hard to bring out so many directors, not just to make wedding dresses for others. If he could be tied to the company, he would be tied to his own family as much as possible.

However, these directors are not limited by their feelings. To be honest, after looking at the entire market, Jiaxing is the only one. They actually don't have much choice, especially after seeing the power of Jiaxing's distribution system this time. Can't live without it.

Who doesn't want to gain a large chunk of their own market? Not only will they make more money, but their influence will also spread. Just like this time in "The Octagon", overseas movie fans have already paid attention to Wang Baoqiang.

"We have signed a contract with Wang Baoqiang, and the cooperation has been very pleasant so far. I believe there will be no problems in the future."

Zeng Jia paused and then said: "By the way, Jia Ling wants to chat with you for a few words. She is here now. Look..."

Jia Ling?

Xu Jia was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "Isn't she filming "Hot and Spicy"? Her weight loss will be a big gimmick, and she can't see anyone during this period."

Whether "Hot" can become a hit depends on whether Jia Ling can get rid of all the fat. Jia Ling's slim appearance is also the reason why so many fans are encouraged to enter the cinema. If it is exposed before then, the effect will be At a half discount, no matter how good the relationship between Jiaxing and the media is, it can’t stand up to the current development of self-media. Someone may just take a photo and send it out.

"Well, she is in the box now. I specially arranged to avoid her." Zeng Jia explained immediately.

Xu Jia nodded when he heard this and said, "Sure, take me there. It looks like she has successfully lost weight."

He was thinking that if this happened, it would be just in time for the Spring Festival. On such a festive holiday, the whole family usually goes out to watch movies, or they are also couples. In this case, choosing a movie is a very difficult decision. Otherwise, there will be family-friendly movies specifically for the Spring Festival.

At this time, a topical and positive movie like "Hot" may become the audience's first choice when they have no choice.

While he was thinking about it, Xu Jia and Zeng Jia arrived at a private room, opened the door and startled him.

"Let me go, are you Jia Ling?" Xu Jia looked at the delicate woman in front of him in surprise.

Although not as stunning as the female star, but when I think about the other person's appearance before and compared with now, they are simply two people, the contrast is too strong.

"It's me, Mr. Xu."

Compared with before, Jia Ling has obviously become much quieter.

Xu Jia understood that such an intense weight loss would inevitably have an impact on the character. He looked up and down and said: "The filming of the post-weight loss scenes should be finished. You must be careful during this period to avoid being discovered. , if you can stay at home, try not to go out, you are our trump card for movie promotion."

"I've been very careful during this period. Don't worry, Mr. Xu, the movie has been completed. I came to you this time just to release it during the Spring Festival." Jia Ling said.

She also knows that the Spring Festival schedule is more suitable for her movie. She has spent so much effort to lose weight just to attract movie fans, so what other schedule is more suitable than the Spring Festival schedule.

"As long as you can ensure that the finished film will be cut before the Spring Festival, then I can consider preheating and attracting traffic for "Hot and Spicy" from now on," Xu Jia said.

"In addition to the domestic market, can we also increase some publicity funds in the film markets of other countries?" Jia Ling hesitated and said.

It is obvious that Wang Baoqiang's success this time has stimulated her. If she can enter the global film and television market, it will be much higher than staying in China.

"What do you think? Let's not mention that "Hot and Spicy" is an adaptation of a Japanese film. It is not eye-catching internationally. After all, the original work has not left Japan. Besides, the real hit point of this film is that you lost weight, but besides Domestic audiences who are familiar with you, who would care if an actress loses weight? Even some Chinese elements in the movie, are you sure overseas audiences can accept it?" Xu Jia did not refuse directly, but just asked the other party.

He could understand Jia Ling's thoughts, but from a businessman's point of view, there was no profit in the overseas market at all, so he had to get rid of the other party's imminent thoughts.

Jia Ling thought about the questions raised by Xu Jia, and her expression gradually became less confident.

Zeng Jia on the side tried to smooth things over: "Let's first understand the domestic market, and then talk about the overseas market. To be honest, our domestic market is comparable to the global box office of some movies combined. They are all targeted. Just like some classic Hollywood movies, they are acclimated to the local environment, and the cultures are inherently mutually exclusive."

"Ling'er, if you really want to go international, after this movie is over, we can make another movie specifically. How about a science fiction movie? The domestic science fiction market has also opened up now."

With Zeng Jia's help, Jia Ling recovered from her embarrassment and realized that it was impossible for her to go international.

She turned around and said, "But if we just use weight loss as a gimmick, some viewers may think it is over-promoted and it will be very detrimental to my reputation."

As a sketch actor, her success today depends on her friendly reputation among the people. If her reputation collapses, everything will be over.

"If you think too much, there must be over-publicity, but only a small number of people think so. At least the quality of the movie we remade is passable. Most viewers don't actually have high pursuits for movies. They just want to be able to spend time with their families. As long as you can laugh when you watch it, as for the negative reputation, after you lose weight, you lose your sense of familiarity. If you want to go back to the old path, you will only gain weight back. Will you gain weight back? Obviously not, so after filming this movie, you Let’s rest for a while and then think about how to start again.” Xu Jia was still very patient with the other party.

At least Jia Ling has made a blockbuster movie here, and with this "Hot and Spicy", she can be considered a major contributor.
