This director only makes bad movies

After returning home, Xu Nan checked the information overnight to confirm that his idea was correct.

There has not yet been a company like Shelter Pictures in the United States, and there is no such movie genre as copycat films.

It was an untapped market that urgently needed his exploration.

You have to go quickly, otherwise you won’t have a chance if you go late.

Anyway, he doesn't have much to do in the company recently, it's almost the same without him.

The knockoff porcelain company is still filming, but he can't continue to make knockoff porcelain films, otherwise his reputation will really be ruined.

Making a good movie requires time to conceive and perfect it.

After "Spider-Man" was released, he had a long window of time.

This time must be utilized wisely.

The point is that this is the United States, and the money earned is US dollars.

That's Daole.

After spending some time to complete the relevant procedures, Xu Nan directly booked the flight without wanting to wait any longer.

The movie "Spider-Man" was released, with a total box office of more than one billion and three million, narrowly missing the billion mark.

Although it had been expected, people in the industry could only remain silent after seeing this result.

There are only four domestically produced films with a box office of over 1 billion, and Xu Nan has made two of them alone, accounting for half of the total.

Any slander and contempt are eclipsed by this dazzling box office performance.

But there is no shortage of sour people at any time.

Some insiders are deliberately belittling.

"Xu Nan's two movies have exceeded one billion. I admit that he is very good, but that is mainly because the market has expanded."

"The previous movies were much better than his, and the highest box office was only 500-600 million. Why, it's not because the market cap is there."

"Xu Nan's box office exceeded 1 billion, mainly because he encountered a good time and the market expanded, so his results are so good."

"Look, there will only be more and more movies with a box office of over 1 billion in the future. If Xu Nan continues to make movies like this, sooner or later they will hit the streets."

"To put it bluntly, any major director who makes a movie now will start with a box office of one billion."

It was sour, but he still told part of the truth.

The reason why Xu Nan's two consecutive movies have a box office of over 1 billion is because he has encountered a good time.

The domestic film market is expanding and the market is becoming more and more prosperous.

Stimulated by Xu Nan's success, more and more funds began to pour into the industry, and a large number of film crews were established for a time.

The higher authorities are also happy to see this situation and have issued some policy incentives.

Especially those big directors are favored by capital. As long as they have an idea, some people dare to invest money without even reading the script.

Under such circumstances, the news that Zhang Yange was going to make a big-budget movie, or a Sino-US co-production, instantly detonated the entire entertainment industry.

I heard that this movie will not only be released in China, but also simultaneously in the United States. The protagonist will invite famous Hollywood movie stars, and the special effects team will also be specially invited from Hollywood.

Zhang Yange is a famous director in his own right. He once won the Palme d'Or, and coupled with Hollywood special effects, it is even more powerful.

The domestic plot, coupled with Hollywood special effects, is like a nuclear bomb in the entertainment industry.

This movie will definitely create an amazing result and definitely has the potential to break box office records.

The entire entertainment industry became agitated because of this news.

In comparison, the fact that Xu Nan went to the United States to film a movie was inconspicuous at all, and few people in the industry knew about it.

Of course, some people offered money to cooperate with him, but they were all rejected.

Summit Film and Television does not need collaborators for the time being, because the movies they make are guaranteed to make money without losing money, and there is no need to find other people to invest to spread risks.

Xu Nan came to the United States without alerting anyone or attracting anyone's attention.

In China, he is a well-known director, but in the United States, not many people know about it.

To Americans, he is a nobody.

A great Chinese director?

Sorry, we don’t even know where China is.

Xu Nan didn't care about this. It would be better if Americans didn't know him. It would be more convenient.

In the first week after coming to the United States, he did nothing. He just locked himself in his room and learned about the entertainment industry in the United States.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

To conquer a place, you must first understand it.

Thanks to his good English proficiency, Xu Nan collected information smoothly.

But when he really understood the specific situation of the American entertainment industry, he immediately felt that it was difficult.

The situation in the American entertainment industry in this parallel world is very different from the previous life.

Making a movie is not a problem, and releasing it is not a problem. The problem lies in the theater chain.

There are a lot of domestic theater chain companies, and each one is more competitive than the other, resulting in film and television companies having a high say.

But that’s not the case in the United States, where the three major cinema chain companies account for 80% of the market share. If you want to make a copycat movie, the cinema chain is a hurdle you can’t get around.

Without the nod from theaters, your movie would never be released.

In comparison, other issues such as review and project approval are just minor problems that can be easily solved.

The key to the problem is to secure the theater chain.

But unfortunately, it is difficult for theaters to handle it.

Because in the United States, theater chains are the upstream monopoly platform for Chi Guoguo. If film and television companies want to release movies, they must get approval from the theater chains.

If a movie wants to be released and get the highest ratings, it must please the theaters.

Let's put it this way, generally popular movies will actively give theaters a share in order to obtain the highest film schedule.

In the United States, theater chains are no longer just upstream monopoly platforms. They have also intervened in film and television production, artist management and other businesses. They are industry giants, and the entire entertainment industry revolves around them.

The prerequisite for the success of the knockoff film is that it is a famous big-budget movie. Only in this way will people watch it.

But for famous big-budget movies, theater chains have a share in them. It’s impossible for theater chains to let you release a movie like Pengci.

But if it’s not a big-budget movie, the audience won’t watch it.

The media will observe the scandals of celebrities 365 degrees with a magnifying glass, but the media will ignore the scandals of ordinary people.

The essence of copycat movies is the blockbusters. If they were ordinary movies, the audience would not watch them at all.

But blockbuster movie theaters all have a share of it. If you copy a blockbuster movie, how can the theater chain let you release it?

This is tantamount to taking food from their bowl. It's not bad if they don't give you a shot.

In order for a copycat film to be released, theaters must agree.

Theater chains have a share of big-budget movies, and it is impossible to allow copycat movies to be released.

This is a dead end.

No wonder there are no copycats in the United States. It turns out that the environment here does not allow the birth of this kind of movie.

He thought there was a blank market here, but in fact there was no market at all.

Difficult.
