Entertainment: In the beginning, use Boss Yang's small treasury to invest

Chapter 320 You just work hard and leave the rest to Mr. Xu

Xu Jia didn't expect that he had such a fate with "Magic City Fortress".

When it was reported from Huayi that the other party was going to cast this movie, he just waited to see a joke.

"Who recommended it to you? If it's someone from your company, then I'll advise you to change to another company. If it's your agent, then I'll advise you to change to an agent. If it's you, then I'd advise you not to make your own decisions in the future." Xu Jia said.

The people of Luha were dumbfounded. They planned to listen, so Xu Jia explained the pros and cons to himself.

Then make a decision.

But hearing the other party's answer, how can it be clear that this is completely pessimistic about the prospects of "Magic City Fortress".

"Is this movie so bad? As far as I know, it seems that the fan base of the original book is quite strong." Lu Ha said unwillingly.

After all, the Fortress of the Magic City is one of the few, and China has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in major productions.

Even for the top class, it is a rare good opportunity.

Although he is struggling, it is not certain whether he can actually get it. There are other top players competing, and they are still his old teammates.

And by calculation, their advantage is no less than their own.

There is still friendship with Huayi, and "Old Cannon" has played the main role.

"First of all, sci-fi movies are not that easy to shoot. When you see Huayi working with Disney, you only dare to make local IPs like "Mulan."

"As for "Megalodon", it's because I'm not short of money, and Warner has relevant experience and a mature team. Do you think I'm targeting the domestic market for this film? The investment of nearly one billion yuan has squeezed the domestic market dry, and it's hard to pay back."

"So what I'm really looking at is the North American market. They still prefer shark disaster movies. The Chinese market can only be regarded as a supplement."

What Xu Jia said is just a judgment on the market, and the real problem of "Magic City Fortress" is actually its lineup. "I heard that Huayi's director is Teng Huatao. His most successful film is "33 Days of Broken Love", a low-budget romance film, and other works such as "Snail House". It is either urban love or family affection. Basically, it cannot escape this circle."

"Do you think his strength can handle a sci-fi script like "Fortress of the Devil's City"? If you don't care, think about it carefully, what kind of movie can you be the leading actor in? Don't tell me, you don't know your own acting skills."

"As rich as our Jiaxing film resources, have you ever seen me stuffing Yang Yangqiang?"

It's not that Xu Jia's words are harsh, but that's the truth.

The movie market is different from the TV drama market. Consumers need to spend real money to support it, so most of them are more rational and objective.

The fan economy may have a certain degree of enthusiasm at the beginning, but when the tide recedes, you can definitely see who is swimming.

"You mean I won't be allowed to act in this movie?"

"It's just a suggestion."

Xu Jia paused, "But I have a better suggestion, and that is to push this announcement to your teammates surnamed Wu."

It’s just a matter of name-calling, and I’ve talked about it myself, if Lu Ha still wants to forcefully accept this announcement, then he will definitely not stop it.

After all, good words are hard to persuade, damn ghost.

"I understand. Thank you for your suggestion. If you need my help in the future, just ask."

Lu Ha is caught in a tangle, he still has to rely on himself to judge.

Xu Jia is also very clear that the current promise is just empty talk, and it will only come true when the ending is released.

One is that Lu Ha participated in the film, and the film failed miserably, so this promise will naturally be invalid.

The other is that Lu Ha didn't take part in the role, but his teammates did. Needless to say, this guy definitely treats Xu Jia as a lifesaver.

Anyone who has seen how miserable the failure of "Magic City Fortress" is, how lucky they are.

As for the possibility of the film's success, unless Huayi called Cameron over to guide.

Li Xian, who stood aside and listened to the whole process, his head was full of muddleheaded, only a little clear.

My big boss is really awesome.

A big production with hundreds of millions of dollars, if you say no to it, it will be no.

The key is that what you say is well-founded and convincing.

The person he was talking to was still a top-ranking person in the circle, and he was often seen on TV. This feeling made Li Xian feel very strange.

There is a feeling of being proud.

When I think that I am under the hands of such a boss, I feel that my future is bright.

"Li Xian."

"Hey, Mr. Xu, I'm here."

"Have you considered the path you will take in the future?"

"Uh, I really don't have this right now. I'm currently focusing on the show, but I'm willing to follow the company's arrangement."

Li Xian shook his head, even if he had his own thoughts, he would not say them in front of the boss.

After all, some bosses don't want their subordinates to be too assertive because they are disobedient.

"This program is to increase your popularity, let the audience get familiar with your face, and it is also the path for you to become popular in the shortest time. Now I want to ask you something, do you want to follow the path of an idol, or do you want to become an actor?"

Xu Jia stared closely at Li Xian's eyes, and said seriously: "This is related to the company's arrangements for you and the resources invested in it in the future."

If it's the former, then it's the triple blossom of film and television variety shows. If it's the latter, then Xu Jia will try to reduce the announcements of variety shows for him and focus more on film and television.

Without even thinking about it, Li Xian said, "I want to be an actor."

He has never forgotten his original intention to apply for the performance department of Jingdian.

If he just wanted to be famous, he wouldn't have been a young actor after graduation.

Don't think that all actors make money and are well paid.

Only the heads, that is, those who are known to the audience, actually have amazing money-making power.

This has only increased in recent years.

In fact, most of the actors are mainly poor, they do not have a stable income.

Even in some respects, not as good as a singer.

At least the latter can also sing to earn extra income.

The reason why he agreed to participate in this program is also because he has the idea of ​​achieving the same goal by different routes.

"Okay, since you have this persistence, then I will fulfill you."

Xu Jia revealed her arrangement to him, "With your singing and dancing ability, if you can form a group in the end, it is hard to guarantee that you will not be suspected of shady scenes, and it will not help your acting career too much. What you lack is popularity."

"In this way, I will arrange for you to retire later, but you have to perform well for me in these two rounds. Just work hard and leave the rest to us."

He couldn't bear to ruin such an actor's seedling.

Li Xian is different from Xiao Zan and Wang Yibo, he is a professional actor, and the accumulation of the past few years has helped a lot in terms of mentality and skills.

Idols come and go every year, but good actors can't be cultivated just because they want to.
