Chapter 704 Confusion, Drunk Again
The people sitting in the small conference hall are all the most knowledgeable people in the industry. The 3D special effects gimmick is easy to hype, but if it is not done well, it will be shooting yourself in the foot.

Zhou Xia's "Painted Skin 2" released the year before last also spent a lot of money, and it took Weta more than nine months to make it; while his "Sword" was handed over to Industrial Light and Magic. The arrangement was placed in the summer of 2014, which shows his prudence and care.

For a good blockbuster with 3D special effects, the production cycle in Hollywood is basically two to three years from project approval to release. Cameron's "Avatar" even took 10 years.

In this kind of matter, if you dare to fool the audience, even if it is Zhou Xia, the audience can vote with their wallets and let you smash your own signboard.

Standing on the stage, Zhou Xia smiled and nodded in agreement after hearing the question.

"Boss Li's questions make sense no matter how they sound, but they didn't get to the point, so I won't talk about the specifics. I just want to say, when "Charlotte Annoyance" was released, how many people would Thinking of a box office of 15 billion?
Sometimes weather, location, and harmony can be created. From my personal experience, a commercial film’s selling points, audience, publicity, release timing, etc., are all indispensable compared to the standard and quality of the film. careless.

Sometimes when these things are done well, it is entirely possible that the box office of a movie will be higher than that of movies with much higher quality, so I have confidence in this movie. "

Zhou Xia didn't explain much, and directly came to a conclusion, which was endorsed by his reputation.

Furthermore, I really can’t say much about that movie, because it’s a Journey to the West theme, and it’s also a Spring Festival file. With the record high in the early stage, there’s really nothing to analyze. inside.

Seeing that Zhou Xia has come to such a conclusion, other people are skeptical, so it is not easy to ask. Some things do involve commercial secrets...

Furthermore, Zhou Xia's movie "New Detective" which is currently being screened has created nearly 12 records during the 50 days of its release on Christmas and New Year's Day.

Yesterday's box office exceeded 25 billion, and it is estimated that it will exceed 30 billion in two or three days!

Just because "New Detective" has achieved such a high box office in the past 12 days, the industry's estimated box office target of 2013 billion in 260 has been completed, and it has exceeded the target by 16 billion, reaching 276 billion!
Zhou Xia said so, who has the confidence to question it?

Seeing that no one asked anything, Zhou Xia had no choice but to continue: "In 2014, about 20 films of Xia Hua will be released, which is considered a big year. Two movies are released every month.

With the current director, screenwriter team, and training system of Xiahua Film and Television, it is still difficult to achieve this, so we will continue to maintain an open attitude, and learn from each other in cooperation with domestic, Hollywood, and other film and television companies in other parts of the world , learn from each other, and develop together. I hope that all the seniors here will support me a lot. "

After Zhou Xia finished speaking, he bowed slightly to the people sitting there, and then walked down the stage, and everyone's applause followed.

The foreshadowing has been done, and the next thing is the theme of this party - let's have a good chat.

The things we talked about, and the results we reached, definitely have no legal effect, but no one dares to violate them casually.

Otherwise, everyone will have justifiable reasons to sanction and divide up the interests of violators.

The process of talking is simple.

Prior to this, Xia Hua had already acquired the equity of several companies, and several parties had completed the understanding and exchange of interests with Xia Hua. Now it is actually the bosses behind the scenes who are playing tricks to make this result look better and more harmonious.

First, under the witness of the third master and a few people involved, the bosses of the company apologized to Zhou Xia. rule.

Then, Xia Hua put forward several non-mandatory proposals, everyone briefly discussed and made commitments, and the conversation ended.

All that's left is to drink and talk, and get drunk with paper fans...

The door of the small conference hall opened, and Zhou Xia and a dozen people walked out one after another while laughing and chatting. When they came to the big banquet hall next to it, the celebrities and people with status in the circle who were chatting and socializing stood up one after another.

After Yang Tianzhen saw Zhou Xia's gesture, he immediately knocked on the wine glass in his hand, and loudly reminded the guests to prepare for their seats, and the banquet officially started.

After Zhou Xia and the others took their seats, the male and female waiters soon began to serve various meals.

Zhou Xia sat at the wine table in the middle of the hall with a group of bosses and bosses. Everyone ate, exchanged glasses, chatted and laughed, and soon there were leading artists from various companies, leading a group of people under the leadership of their respective executives. Come down to toast and pay homage.

Zhou Xia found that he had become a key caretaker. Xia Hua's people hadn't come yet, and people from other companies paid him all kinds of verbal admiration, but they all made a toast at the end.

Zhou Xia was also happy, so he drank some politely.

Since its listing at the end of 2012, Xiahua Film and Television has begun to break through itself, trying its best to break through the so-called various circles in the circle.

Unlike before, it was mainly close to the Northwest and Shanghai circles. After having capital, it began to acquire companies and talents in Xiangjiang, Wanwan, and Beijing circles.

This is also the main reason why Xia Hua was able to release so many films in 2014.

Among the 20 films, in addition to the films produced by Xia Hua, there are also films produced by directors, stars, and behind-the-scenes teams from various circles.

This is the power and strength of capital. Capital is engulfed in interests and rushes past. The so-called circles are torn apart one by one, and many people in the circles have joined Xia Hua, a new and larger circle.

Now Xia Hua gathered the heavyweights in the entire circle here with capital and interests, and held this big party, which actually continued to tear apart and impact other small circles.

This is also Zhou Xia's real purpose.

After Zhou Xia was toasted by nearly twenty people, he drank a little and felt a little dizzy. He quickly found an excuse to go to the toilet, got up and planned to leave the wine table for a while.

"Director Zhou, don't leave. The two children from our company are here. Get to know them." Zhou Xia just left his seat when he was stopped by Mr. Wang, who had no choice but to turn around.

"Do you two know each other? It's me, the younger generation of our company, Director Zhou. Please take care of me in the future."

"Oh, yes, isn't this Yang Ying and Jing Boran?" Although Zhou Xia was a little drunk, he still recognized the handsome couple.

"What are you doing in a daze, let's toast, Chairman Zhou knows you." Mr. Wang saw that Zhou Xia was giving him face, saying that he knew these two people, and hurriedly shouted to the two people standing aside in a daze.

"Director Zhou, hello, I'm Jing Boran, just call me Xiaojing, please take care of me in the future." Jing Boran stepped forward to introduce Zhou Xia very politely, then bent down to Zhou Xia, and raised the fist in his hand. The red wine in the foot glass was drained.

"Okay, okay, okay, I remember." Zhou Xia had no choice but to nod, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. In fact, the other party was a few months younger than him, but in terms of their status in the circle, the two of them now The gap is indeed huge.

"Director Zhou, hello, I'm Baybay, happy new year, please take care of me." Yang Tianbao also stepped forward to greet Zhou Xia politely, and then drank the wine respectfully.

"Well, happy new year to you too." Zhou Xia nodded slightly, but Tianbao's face was still speechless.

Knowing the two people formally, Zhou Xia had dealt with Mr. Wang, turned around and continued towards the toilet, but as soon as he turned around and took a step, he felt a little weak under his feet.

He hurriedly slowed down his pace, and at this moment, Xiao Wang said to Yang Tianbao who was about to toast the other bosses at the table, "Quickly, help Zhou Dong."

"Oh, okay." Yang Tianbao put down his wine glass apologetically, and stepped forward to support Zhou Xia's arm.

"No, I'm fine." Zhou Xia quickly refused.

Many people know that he is not good at drinking, and he has nothing to be ashamed of, but let Yang Tianbao help him, so there is no need to think that there will be scandals tomorrow.

Although this is his villa and there are no reporters, it is impossible for someone to take a photo with a mobile phone.
