This director only makes bad movies

On the seventh day after the release of "Captain China", the film's box office totaled 710 million, and the growth momentum still shows no signs of slowing down.

By this time, people in the circle had fallen silent.

This movie has become incomprehensible to them. No matter how much they scold, how much they mock, how much they say the movie is bad, they still can't change the fact that the movie's box office is soaring.

This movie is like a high-speed train, rushing forward and smashing all obstacles.

According to this trend, the box office of "Captain China" may even reach 1.5 billion, breaking the box office record in domestic film history.

A trashy movie, but it can beat all domestic movies. This fact makes people in the industry dumbfounded.

The film industry is a very cruel industry, but it is also a very realistic industry. As long as you are not good at the box office, you are nothing.

In other words, as long as you can get high box office, you are a god.

Xu Nan's first film "Along the River on a Qingming Festival" achieved high box office, making him a director. Although the mainstream circles despised and laughed at him, no one has ever questioned his identity as a director.

Because he successfully made a movie and made money.

Although the mainstream circles despise this practice of making money by touching porcelain, as long as you can make money, you are right.

The second film was a box office hit, and although the film's reputation was poor at first, it soon turned around.

Most people don't care how you succeed, they just know that you succeed.

As long as you succeed, everything you do is right and reasonable. No matter what means you use in the process, it is reasonable.

In the past, when people in the industry or the media called Xu Nan, most people said that he was a director who was in trouble, and those who despised him directly said that he was a director of bad movies.

But now, the media has given him a new title, "Ghost Director".

No matter how much people in the industry despise and disdain Xu Nan, the success of "Captain China" has left them silent.

In this industry, everything depends on the box office.

Summit Film and Television has been immersed in a sea of ​​joy these days.

Everyone in the company participated in the filming of the movie. As usual, after the movie is released, red envelopes will be given out, and they will be big red envelopes.

In addition, having such a high-grossing movie on their resume will have many hidden bonuses to their careers.

Just like employees in large factories find a job more easily than employees in small factories.

But Xu Nan keenly noticed something was wrong.

The box office growth rate of "Captain China" has begun to slow down and is gradually showing a downward trend.

For ordinary movies, it is normal for the subsequent box office growth to slow down, as long as it is maintained within a certain level.

But for a fun movie like "Captain China", the box office is a one-time deal. If the box office cannot be squeezed out to the greatest extent in the shortest possible time, when the heat is over, the box office of this movie will inevitably drop ugly. .

The slowdown in box office growth of "Captain China" shows that audiences have begun to experience fatigue with the film and related news.

This is normal, just like the Elephant Family, or the Space Trio. It was a big deal at the beginning, attracting national attention, and netizens wished they could dig out their ancestors for eighteen generations.

But as time went by, the audience stopped watching and started looking for new hot spots.

Netizens are always in love with the new and hate the old.

Fortunately, the audience is not completely tired of this movie yet. At this time, we only need to give them a new stimulus and a new hot spot, and the box office growth rate can remain unchanged.

As for how to stimulate, Xu Nan was already prepared.

He immediately called Tao Heng.

"Jingle Bell"

"Jingle Bell"

The shrill ringtone of the phone rang in the room.

Tao Heng, who was sitting stiffly on the sofa like a puppet, shook his body, picked up the phone and took a look.

When he saw the call from Xu Nan, his body trembled, and his throat instinctively trembled, as if he recalled again the strange friction feeling when the footbath water passed through his throat.

My stomach started to feel queasy.

Tao Heng immediately grabbed his cell phone and ran to the bathroom, where he vomited into the toilet.

He hadn't eaten much in the past few days, so he just vomited a little yellow acidic water.

After vomiting, Tao Heng finally felt a little better. He looked down at his phone and found that the call had been hung up because he hadn't connected for a long time.

He sighed.

Originally, after two days of training, he had improved a lot, but a phone call from Xu Nan reminded him of the nightmare feeling of drinking footwash.

Moreover, this call is not over yet, Xu Nan will call him again soon.

Sure enough, Tao Heng's guess was correct.

A few minutes later, the phone rang again, and it was Xu Nan's call again.

Tao Heng sighed and answered the phone.

"What's going on? Why did it take so long?" Xu Nan asked.

Tao Heng replied helplessly: "I was delayed by something just now."

Xu Nan did not pursue this matter and asked directly: "Has the video been taken?"

"It's done."

"Send it out when you've finished taking it. Now, don't delay like last time. Think about the contract you signed with me. As long as you complete this order, you will be financially free. You can buy a house or a car as you wish. I I’ll also give you an extra red envelope.”

Xu Nan used both soft and hard tactics to let Tao Heng complete his instructions.

Soon, the phone was hung up.

Tao Heng sighed with a sad expression.

Why, why do you have to force me to this step?

I would rather not have money than lose my integrity.

But there was no way, the contract had been signed, and even if Tao Heng wanted to refuse Xu Nan, he couldn't do it.

Moreover, if this video is released, it should have the opposite effect.

He was begging the audience with tears in his eyes. Seeing how pitiful he was, the audience should let him go.

Probably so.

While struggling mentally, Tao Heng logged into his account and clicked to send the video he had prepared.

On the other side, director Liu Dongdong was lying on the sofa at home, looking as depressed as a defeated dog.

A few days ago, he was still full of fighting spirit, trying to use various means to reverse the decline and bring the movie "Our 30 Days" back to life.

But now, he gave up, completely gave up.

Being told by a long-time fan that his carefully shot movie was worse than a bad movie, this heavy blow knocked him down completely and made him lose confidence.

Tired, destroy it.

If the movie box office falls, let it fall. He is too lazy to care about it.

A series of movie promotion activities that had been prepared for a long time were also stopped.

It’s all in vain anyway, so why waste your energy.

Liu Dongdong has no energy left now and is just waiting for the movie to be released.

He now passes the time by scrolling through his mobile phone every day at home.

While he was playing with his mobile phone, Weibo prompted that the blogger he followed, Tao Heng, had updated.
