Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 565 Cooperation Conference, Reporter Interview

Li Liangjie said: "Then why are they cooperating with Huayi now?",

Zhang Xiao explained: "Of course it is to open up the market. Judging from the current situation, within ten years, our Huaguo film market should surpass that of North America. Universal wants to share a piece of meat through Huayi."

"Of course, if there's an opportunity to cause me some trouble, they'd be more than happy."

Wu Jin said worriedly: "I'm worried that Huayi is leading wolves into the house, and it will have a huge impact on our domestic films."

Zhang Xiao smiled and waved his hands and said, "No, on the contrary, I think this is a good thing for domestic films."

Everyone was very puzzled when they heard it.

Zhang Xiao continued: "Compared with film companies from all over the world, Hollywood giants have two huge advantages. The first is funding, and the second is channels."

"There is no entertainment company in China with a market capitalization of 200 billion U.S. dollars, and there are only two or three movies that can spend [-] million U.S. dollars to produce movies throughout the year. At least some of them are usually because the actors' salaries are too high. "

"Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for us in Huaguo to make a real blockbuster. Even if it is released, it will not be able to be screened in the global market, and it will be over."

"However, companies such as Universal, Disney, and Warner have both money and distribution channels. If they sincerely cooperate with domestic film companies, can you imagine how much benefit they will bring to our domestic films?"

"To be honest, I really hope that this cooperation between Huayi and Universal can achieve a win-win outcome. In this way, other domestic companies will be touched, and businessmen will be interested in global distribution."

After listening to Zhang Xiao's words, Li Liangjie looked at him in surprise, and exclaimed: "Zhang Xiao, you can say these words, which shows that you are thinking about issues at a much higher level than before."

Yu Qian also echoed with admiration: "Universal and Huayi's army is overwhelming, and you actually look at this matter from the perspective of the entire Huaguo film. This is the embodiment of the overall situation, and it also shows your strong confidence in yourself."

Although Wu Jinye and Ma Weidu didn't speak, he nodded in agreement at the same time, feeling a little admiration for Zhang Xiao in his heart.

Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "I'm not as great as you imagine."

At this time, Wu Jin asked: "Aren't you worried that they will target you?"

Zhang Xiaodao: "They are targeting me, so what can they do to me? Hehe, in the entertainment industry, there are no more than three ways to attack an artist."

"First, create gossip, maliciously slander, or plant a frame to tarnish your reputation."

"Second, use your powerful strength and background to crush you, so that you have no scenes to shoot."

"The third is clear swords and sharp guns. You can't stand up if you fight in your professional field."

"I, Zhang Xiao, have always walked upright and sat upright. I'm still an otaku. I usually stay at home. The first method obviously doesn't work for me."

"Not to mention the second one. In the global entertainment industry, I don't think anyone's strength and background can force me into a corner."

"As for the confrontation with clear swords and sharp guns, I quite welcome them. However, with their Universal and Huayi, I really am not afraid of them."

Wu Jinchong gave Zhang Xiao a thumbs up, and said, "Brother, you are a fool."

Li Liangjie said: "I'm worried that if they can't find your trouble, they may find trouble with Qingtian Company."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "If they have the ability to close down Qingtian, I have to thank them, it just happens to be able to free Mimi, so she can go home and take the children for me."

When everyone heard it, they were speechless.

Zhang Xiao picked up the wine glass and said: "Okay, let's not talk about these messy things. If you have wine, you will be drunk today. Cheers."

"cheers!"

···
Three days later, under the witness of more than 100 media reporters, Wang Jun, president of Huayi Entertainment, and Morris, CEO of Universal Pictures, signed an agreement for in-depth cooperation.

"Mr. Wang, may I ask what benefits you can get from cooperating with Universal this time?"

A reporter asked directly.

Wang Junzhi said proudly: "The first is the huge investment of one billion US dollars. We have decided to co-produce at least five blockbuster films with an investment of more than [-] million US dollars in the next three years."

"At that time, our domestic actors will have the opportunity to show their talents in front of fans all over the world, instead of just playing soy sauce like before."

"The second is the distribution channel. In the future, the excellent films invested by Huayi can be distributed globally, which is of epoch-making significance for our domestic films."

"Third, our Huayi actors can participate in Hollywood movies produced by Universal."

"···"

After Wang Jun finished answering, another reporter asked: "There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. If you have enough fun, what kind of price do you have to pay for the benefits you get?"

"Sorry, this is a commercial secret and cannot be disclosed to everyone."

"Mr. Wang, is it possible that Universal's cooperation with you will affect the development of domestic films? Will Universal use your Huayi as a springboard to swallow up our Chinese film market?"

"Impossible. The Huaguo film market is getting bigger and bigger every year, and the box office is getting higher every year. Not to mention that Universal doesn't have this idea, even if they do, they can't do it. It is impossible for the six Hollywood giants to come together things."

"We all know that Universal sniped Xiao Shen's "Forrest Gump" a month ago. Obviously, the relationship between them is very bad, and your company is also not good because of the relationship between Director Chen Da and Xiao Shen. Come down, will you take any action against Xiaoshen or Qingtian Company?"

"Our cooperation with Universal is for a win-win situation, not against a certain person or company. As for Mr. Zhang Xiao, he is an excellent filmmaker, and we all admire him."

···、

After the reporters finished asking about Wang Jun, they pointed their finger at Morris, the CEO of Universal.

"Mr. Morris, is this your first visit to China? How do you feel?"

Morris replied in fluent Chinese, "When I was young, I studied in China for three years. After I finished my studies and returned to China, I only came here once ten years ago."

"Compared to ten years ago, I feel that both the appearance of the city and the mental state of the people have undergone earth-shaking changes. It is not without reason that Huaguo can become the second largest box office in the world."

"Mr. Morris, your Chinese is really good. We all know that your company has sniped Mr. Zhang Xiao's "Forrest Gump". May I ask what the reason is? Did Mr. Zhang Xiao offend you in any way?"

Hearing this question, Morris frowned and said, "We didn't deliberately target Mr. Zhang Xiao. The reason why we adjusted the schedule of "Battle of Thunder" was out of commercial considerations."
