Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 276 In the end, Director Xu is the one who wins!

One thing is that this was the first time Xu Nuo went to the cinema at 12 o'clock in the morning to watch someone else's movie.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely love this movie.

It's impossible to go to see a movie at zero o'clock if you don't have true love.

Generally, there are two types of viewers who watch a movie at midnight. One is satisfied, finally seeing the movie they have been waiting for for the first time, and it is quite good.

One is to watch the movie immediately after watching it, and then regret it. The reason is simply that the movie I have been looking forward to for a long time is really bad. If I had known this, I would have been better off sleeping at home. After all, I walked out of the cinema after watching a midnight movie. It was after two o'clock in the morning.

Fortunately, the first situation occurred early this morning.

Many audiences who went to the cinema to watch the midnight show of "Spider-Man" walked out of the cinema very satisfied.

Whether it was a group of friends or a couple, they were all discussing the excitement of "Spider-Man" after leaving the cinema.

From role.

to the scene.

The action, fighting, and real-life scenes all leave the audience with endless aftertaste.

"Little Spider is so handsome."

Many female viewers were attracted by Spider-Man played by Li Cheng.

Of course, it's not just girls. Many male viewers also like the chatty little spider and sunny boy played by Li Cheng.

But for male viewers, although Spider-Man is handsome, has graceful movements, and has exciting fights, the one who left the deepest impression on them in the movie is undoubtedly the heroine played by Feng Shuwan.

"The heroine Xiao Wen is so beautiful."

"It's a pity that her father died. How will she get along with Little Spider in the future?"

"Brothers, I really like this actor."

It is estimated that any boy with "normal" aesthetics will not be touched by Feng Shuwan's stunning appearance.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a wonderful blockbuster. It's indeed Director Xu."

"To be honest, I didn't like Director Xu's last movie "Oppenheimer" very much. I still like to watch commercial blockbusters like Director Xu's with a bit of science fiction theme."

"Yes, yes, although "Oppenheimer" is actually quite good to watch, it is not the same as "Spider-Man" and "Iron Man"."

"It's still "Transformers" that's so exciting, I watched it from beginning to end."

"Oh, by the way, did you know that Director Xu will make a sequel to "Transformers"?"

"I do not know."

After a group of young guys walked out of the cinema, they started discussing the movie "Spider-Man" and the film's director Xu Nuo, and even extended to Xu Nuo's other movies and whether they would make sequels to previous movies.

For example, will there be two "Terminator" movies?

Is there a follow-up to "Transformers"?
There will always be a second part of "Iron Man", right?
A successful director will make the audience have various discussions centered on him as soon as they mention him.

"Boss, it seems that everyone has very good reviews of your "Spider-Man". I see many people walking out of the cinema are discussing it."

Among the people walking out of the MAX cinema, there were also Xu Nuo and his assistant Wen Ruohan.

But at this moment, everyone was discussing the movie they had just watched, and did not notice that right next to them was the director of "Spider-Man", the world-famous Xu Nuo!

"It seems that the reputation is stable."

Xu Nuo can now basically conclude that the reputation of his "Spider-Man" will not be a failure.

Because whether it is the evaluation from my friends, film critics and media after the premiere event three days ago, or the evaluation from the zero-hour audience after the official release, they are all very good.

At least this is an excellent commercial blockbuster that the audience enjoyed watching.

If 8 points is an excellent standard line, then Xu Nuo will give his "Spider-Man" a score of 8.1.

On the contrary, the Penguin Entertainment commercial blockbuster movie "Ice and Fire Man" that Xu Nuo just watched was a bit more surprising than Xu Nuo.

Although Penguin Entertainment's "Fire and Ice" did not have as high an attendance rate as Xu Nuo's "Spider-Man", I didn't expect that this movie was miraculously not bad at all.

Xu Nuo estimated that if he scored it in his mind, it would be seven points or even a little more, somewhere between seven and eight points.

This is already a very good "achievement".

You must know that in Xu Nuo's eyes, among domestic movies, those that can score above six points are pretty good, and they are quite passable in all aspects. Basically, they can't find any major faults.

A score of seven would mean it has some highlights above passing standards, but it is still not up to the level of an excellent movie.

Obviously, this time Penguin Entertainment tried to make a commercial blockbuster with a large investment, and it really "succeeded".

Although in Xu Nuo's eyes, it only looks like [-]% or more, this is already a pretty good improvement compared to previous major domestic manufacturers such as Penguin Entertainment, Aiyi Film and Television, Wanda Pictures, and Huaying Media.

In the past, the so-called "blockbusters" released by these manufacturers were really eye-catching. They invited a lot of famous celebrities, and then the costumes were so resplendent that I wished I could be covered in gold. The special effects and so on seemed to have cost nothing. Bad, usually called [-]-cent special effects.

But if you look at its investment, it’s hundreds of millions. It doesn’t seem like there’s no money for special effects. Then here’s the problem. Movies with hundreds of millions of investments have poor special effects, bad scripts, and even worse costumes and props. It’s hard to explain in one word, so where did the money go?
This time Penguin Entertainment's "Ice and Fire Man" also claims to have invested [-] million!
But this time Xu Nuo could at least see where the money went.

Of course it was in Xu Nuo's wallet.

Because this movie from Penguin Entertainment, let alone the special effects, is really impressive. Ice and fire, the scenes created by the two special effects must be spectacular enough.

And in this Penguin Entertainment movie, there are a lot of special effects in such scenes, and it can be seen that a lot of money was spent on it.

Don't ask Xu Nuo why he knew.

Because the special effects of this movie were produced by the Real Special Effects Studio under Xu Nuo’s Real Group. The special effects are exquisite, dazzling, and quite realistic!

Although the special effects produced by the real special effects studio are very cost-effective, a movie like Penguin Entertainment's "Ice and Fire" is basically full of special effects scenes, which will definitely cost a lot of money. Xu Nuo knows this very well. But that's it.

In the past two years, domestic movies, TV series, and even animations have basically used real special effects studios for special effects production.

Because if you don’t find a real special effects studio, the special effects you produce will not be competitive enough. If everyone uses them but you don’t, then your movies or TV series will not be competitive enough.

Therefore, the real special effects studio has made a lot of money in the past two years, which is a lot of money earned from major domestic film and television production companies.

In addition to generous salaries and benefits for the staff of the real special effects studio, a lot of the money earned is used in the construction of other technological fields of the company.

Of course, Xu Nuo is not short of money now. No matter which department needs "funds", he can provide them with all they need. This real special effects studio alone is like a hen that can lay golden eggs.

Penguin Entertainment will get a taste of the sweetness from this time's "Ice and Fire Man". After all, Xu Nuodu feels that it is still a decent film and the box office will not be low when the time comes.

In this way, Penguin Entertainment will definitely invest more money in this type of blockbusters in the future. In the end, it is Xu Nuo's real special effects studio that will make the most money.From this point of view, even if Penguin Entertainment's movies have a good reputation, Xu Nuo is the one who wins.

However, Xu Nuo also had to consider the impact of Penguin Entertainment's movie on his "Spider-Man".

With the quality of Penguin Entertainment's "Fire and Ice", it will definitely be able to get a share of the box office market in the coming period.

Xu Nuo is afraid that it will affect the box office of his "Spider-Man". After all, the system's movie box office target is 150 billion. The domestic box office cannot be bad, and then we will see how much it can win abroad.

Whether Xu Nuo can successfully complete the box office target task [-]%, Xu Nuo still has no way to guarantee it.

You have to go back and take a nap, then get up the next day and look at a series of data such as box office results, proportion of films scheduled for the next day, attendance rate, etc. to make a judgment.

"Xiaowen, after watching this movie from Penguin Entertainment, what do you think?"

Xu Nuo asked his assistant Wen Ruohan for her review of the movie.

"Although it is a pretty good movie, there is still a gap between it and your boss' "Spider-Man". I think within the same period, it shouldn't pose much of a threat."

Wen Ruohan commented seriously, and she was full of confidence in her boss's movie "Spider-Man".

"It won't pose much of a threat. But there is still a threat."

Xu Nuo said lightly.

Unless Penguin Entertainment's "Fire and Ice" is a bad movie, it will eventually have to compete at the box office in the same period. There is no way. Penguin Entertainment rarely makes a movie that they are confident about, so naturally they have to put it out. A touch with Xu Nuo's "Spider-Man".

Now Xu Nuo can confirm that Penguin Entertainment deliberately set the release time of "Ice and Fire" at the same time as its own "Spider-Man".

"Penguin Entertainment is quite brave. Go back to sleep and check the box office situation when you wake up."

Xu Nuo smiled and said with emotion.

It’s not very useful to check the box office in the early morning. After today’s daytime, we can see how the box office of “Spider-Man” and Penguin Entertainment’s “Fire and Ice” are, including today’s pre-sales. There must be nothing wrong with both movies exceeding [-] million.

Even breaking [-] million on the first day is too easy for Xu Nuo's movie.

"Director Xu? This is Director Xu! Damn it! It's really Director Xu!"

"What? Director Xu?"

"Director Xu, are you coming to watch a movie this late in the evening?"

“Director Xu, damn it’s really Director Xu!”

"Can we take a photo with Director Xu?"

Just when Xu Nuo and his assistant Wen Ruohan were about to take the elevator to the parking lot, they were finally recognized by the audience who had just watched the movie.

Although Xu Nuo does not make public appearances as often as film and television stars, his fame is there, and his national popularity is too high. After all, Xu Nuo is not only a well-known director, but also a technology tycoon, and a popular figure in many fields.

You would probably know such a person if you walked on the street, let alone anyone.

Even though Xu Nuo was wearing very ordinary clothes today, just an inconspicuous casual outfit and even a peaked cap, he was still recognized by the citizens of Yuzhou after watching the movie.

"Hello everyone, are you going out to watch a movie so late at night, are you really in love?"

Seeing that he was recognized, Xu Nuo naturally greeted everyone in a very cordial and easy-going manner.

And Xu Nuo would not refuse anyone who wanted to take a photo, it was just a slight delay.

"We're watching Spider-Man!"

"Yes, I also watched "Spider-Man"."

"That has to be Spider-Man."

"Director Xu, your "Spider-Man" is so exciting, it will definitely be a big seller, hahahaha."

"Uh, Director Xu, would you hit me if I said I watched "Ice and Fire Man"?"

Everyone responded enthusiastically to Xu Nuo, and came over to take photos with Xu Nuo in an orderly manner.

I have to say that the citizens of Yuzhou are really nice. Although everyone was very happy and excited after seeing Xu Nuo in person, they still restrained themselves and took photos with Xu Nuo one by one.

The guy even asked Xu Nuo for his opinion: "Director Xu, can I post the group photo on social media?"

"No problem at all."

Xu Nuo replied with a smile.

It can be seen that these audiences who come to the cinema to watch movies at night, even those who watch "Ice and Fire Man", like themselves very much.

Xu Nuo has always been a friendly and easy-going person, so naturally he will not refuse them to post photos with him on social media platforms such as Moments, Weibo, and AI Entertainment.

"Director Xu, I think the special effects of the movie "Ice and Fire" released at the same time as "Spider-Man" today are also very good. Are they the special effects produced by your real special effects studio?"

At this time, a curious citizen audience couldn't help but ask Xu Nuo this question.

"I think so."

Xu Nuo smiled and nodded.

"I'll just say it was done by Director Xu's real special effects studio."

"Good guy, in the end, our Director Xu won."

When everyone heard this, they were all filled with admiration, saying that the special effects produced by the real special effects studio were really great.

"Thank you everyone for recognizing the work of the real special effects studio. Goodbye, go back and have a good sleep."

After arriving at the underground parking lot, Xu Nuo said goodbye to several viewers who took the elevator down together.

Xu Nuo then drove back to Nanshan Smart Villa with his assistant Wen Ruohan, took a shower and slept.

I woke up near noon the next day.

The first thing Xu Nuo did after waking up was to check the current real-time box office situation and the reputation of his "Spider-Man" after a night and a morning.

Xu Nuo quickly took a few bites to eat his breakfast. To be precise, it should be after lunch, and then came to the basement level of his smart villa.

"Guan Ju, collect and sort out the current real-time film market conditions at home and abroad, and give it to me."
