This director only makes bad movies

The actual situation in the United States gave Xu Nan a head-on blow.

What he thought before was still too simple. With the theater chain as a roadblock, it is not that easy to make fake films.

But after careful consideration, Xu Nan finally decided to make a copycat.

This is the main purpose of his coming to the United States, and it is impossible to change it. In fact, he also wants to make blockbusters or something, but the success rate is very low.

The tastes of American audiences and domestic audiences are completely different. He may not even be able to conquer domestic audiences, let alone American audiences.

There may be a genius in this world who can conquer the world with movies, but it is definitely not him.

Blockbusters mean big production, high investment, and also high risks.

He is not well-known in the United States. He can't attract any investment, let alone invest by himself, otherwise he will cry to death if he loses.

The imitation porcelain is very good, the cost is very low, he has no pressure to invest alone, and the probability of making money is very high.

In the United States, the three major theater chains account for 80% of the market, and these three major theater chains will definitely ignore him.

But it doesn't matter, he can go to those small theater chains, which still have a 20% market share.

Another advantage of small theater chains is that they are relatively low-grade and face great pressure to make profits, so their moral integrity will also be very low, and there is a high probability that they will approve the release of copycat films.

If you really can't get it into theaters, that's okay. You can find video companies and streaming companies.

The video company here in the United States is called Blockbuster, and the streaming media is called Netflix. They have been acquiring movie copyrights for a long time.

Compared with China, the United States has one more channel to sell copyrights.

Party culture is very popular here in the United States. A large number of people gather together. Watching movies is a very good choice. Playing movies on video tapes is very popular here.

Not to mention the streaming media Netflix, the new film and television giant is very eager for movie copyrights.

If Xu Nan's copycat film cannot be released in theaters, he can also choose to sell it to a video company or streaming media platform. It can be said to be double insurance, and the chance of losing money is very small.

That's the good thing about copycat porcelain. The cost is low and the probability of profit is high. Even if it loses money, it doesn't matter. He can still afford to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars.

If it succeeds, the benefits will be huge. It means that the business model of copycats and porcelain is still feasible in the United States, and he can make a lot of money continuously.

It’s still US dollars, Daole.

Just do what comes to mind.

Xu Nan immediately started recruiting people to prepare for filming.

Before filming, he went online to check if there were any big-budget movies to be released in the United States recently.

The bigger it is, the better it is made, the higher its popularity, and the easier it is to touch porcelain.

After surfing the Internet for a while, Xu Nan quickly found his target.

The movie "The Hobbit".

This is a large-scale fantasy movie produced by Fox Film and Television and directed by James. It is a strong contender for the annual box office championship. In terms of popularity, it is not much worse than "Dragonfly Man 3".

The full name of "The Hobbit" is "The Lord of the Rings: The Hobbit". As the name suggests, this movie is part of the Lord of the Rings series.

The Lord of the Rings is a world-famous IP. A few years ago, the trilogy of The Lord of the Rings had a higher box office than the last and was a well-known hit.

After three years, "The Hobbit" in the world of The Lord of the Rings is coming. It goes without saying that this movie will definitely have a high box office.

Even if the quality of this movie is rubbish, a lot of viewers will watch this movie without thinking because of the name of the Lord of the Rings series.

Similarly, this movie is very popular on the Internet, and the publicity can be said to be overwhelming, almost everyone knows it.

With such high heat, it would be a pity not to touch porcelain.

The decisive one is you, "The Hobbit".

Xu Nan had already thought of a movie title, so it was called "The Age of the Hobbit".

He wants Americans to feel the shock from China.

In the next few days, Xu Nan began to prepare for the copycat movie.

If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.

First of all, he took the time to read the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, and by the way, he also read the original work of the movie, so that he knew it well.

He then spent an evening creating an original script.

The content of this script can be said to be simple and crude, and has almost nothing to do with the original work.

But it doesn't matter, the name is almost enough, the content is not important at all.

The core of knockoff porcelain is to touch porcelain, it doesn't matter even if it turns into a mess.

Of course, Xu Nan is a man of integrity. Even if it is a copycat, he will work hard to film it well.

This is his ethics.

Therefore, the script is very smooth and the rhythm is good. It will definitely be a qualified movie if shot normally.

The premise is to shoot normally.

With the script in hand, the next step is to make the movie.

First, he spent some time to register a film and television company, and then found an intermediary to handle all the relevant procedures for making a movie.

After getting these done, the next step is to assemble a crew to actually shoot the movie.

In this process, Xu Nan encountered many difficulties.

He was alone and came to the United States to make a movie, so he could easily be taken advantage of.

No matter where you are, it is easy to bully strangers.

But at this time, Xu Nan's advantage in shooting fake pictures came out.

If someone wants to cheat him by offering a high price, he can immediately switch to another one.

Anyway, this movie has no quality requirements.

He specially hired a producer in the industry named George. Although he was not well-known, he had rich experience and had some connections in the industry. The key point was that Xu Nan had very low requirements, so it was easy to recruit a crew.

However, you can't expect this kind of improvised crew to produce high-quality movies with average personnel.

Xu Nan didn't care about this. After all, he had made three movies. With him, the crew could support it, and from the beginning, he didn't have too many expectations for the people he recruited.

To put it harshly, he can make a movie by himself, but the quality will be rubbish.

He still wants to make a few more movies, so he definitely can't do that.

As for these crew members, just take care of them, just bring them with you.

Producer George is not optimistic about this crew, and he is also not optimistic about the movie Xu Nan is going to make.

When he first saw the script, he thought the movie was actually okay, at least qualified.

But after reading the shooting plan, he had no expectations for the movie.

However, out of a responsible attitude, he still warned: "Xu, the cost of this movie is too low. It is impossible to make a good movie, and the probability of losing money is very high."

Xu Nan patted George on the shoulder: "Thank you for reminding George, I know it well."
