This director only makes bad movies

There are several types of movie watching. The film and television company organizes internal executives to watch the newly produced movie together, and then determine how much money to invest in promotion. This is an internal movie watching meeting.

There are also film and television companies that invite people from the distribution company to watch movies together, and let the distribution company check the quality of the movie port and decide whether to release it. This is also a kind of movie viewing party.

At the film festival, buyers from all over the world are actively invited to watch movies together. This is a kind of movie viewing party.

Lin Ziyi invited Xu Nan to a theater viewing party, which was organized by Warner Bros. and invited leaders or executives from theaters in the United States to participate.

Here, theaters can intuitively feel the quality of the movie and determine how many films to schedule when the movie is released.

Several movies are released in the United States every day, and theaters are not philanthropic. They must carefully arrange the film schedule to ensure that the audience can see the most attractive movies and ensure the flow of people in the theater.

However, even if the quality of a movie from a big company like Warner Bros. or a famous big production like "Pacific Rim" is really rubbish, the theater chain will guarantee a certain schedule.

Of course, if the quality is good, the theater chain will also give a higher film schedule at its discretion. This is the meaning of the movie viewing party.

"Speaking of which, the infrastructure here in the United States is very average. It is difficult to move around without a car. After all, we have made so much money. Is it so difficult to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a car?"

On the highway, Lin Ziyi couldn't help but complain while driving.

She was really speechless that Xu Nan, a famous director, wanted to ride on her car.

If it weren't for this guy's talent, I would really want to kick him down.

In the passenger seat, Xu Nan was lying close to Ge You: "I won't be able to stay in the United States for long. I can just rent a car. There is no need to buy a car."

"Besides, aren't you here too?"

Lin Ziyi rolled her eyes and said nothing.

People are always more tolerant of talented people, not to mention that Xu Nan can make money for her.

Maybe this is a little quirk of the famous director.

Lin Ziyi had a restless temper and continued chatting: "How long do you plan to stay in the United States?"

Xu Nan said: "We will go back when the film and television company is on track. It won't take long, maybe half a year at most."

"Then what?" Lin Ziyi asked.

"What then?"

"Then what did you go back to do?"

"Making movies, you're asking me this, what am I, a director, going to do if I don't make movies?" Xu Nan rolled his eyes.

"Continue to make your bad movies?" Lin Ziyi teased.

"Who said I made a bad movie? Strictly speaking, I made a thunder movie. You think the movie is bad because you don't know how to appreciate it?" Xu Nan was angry.

The audience is always so vulgar, rashly defining and labeling a thing without a deep understanding of it.

"Okay, okay, thunder films, thunder films, not bad movies, then you plan to keep making thunder films, but haven't you thought about making a truly wonderful movie, like those great directors?" Lin Ziyi has no experience in thunder films and bad films. Tangled up in meaningless titles.

"Why not? Do those big directors earn as much as I do?" Xu Nan asked.

Lin Ziyi shook her head: "Money doesn't mean everything. The influence of a truly famous director cannot be achieved simply by relying on money. If you keep making pornographic films, you will definitely make money, but your social status will never improve."

"Money is not important. Only a rich second generation like you is qualified to say that in fact money is very important. You can't do anything without money." Xu Nan looked forward with empty eyes: "Besides, those big productions you mentioned It’s not that I can’t make a wonderful movie, it’s just that I don’t want to make it yet.”

"Pfft." Lin Ziyi smiled with a bright smile.

"Why are you laughing?" Xu Nan's eyes widened.

Lin Ziyi has a pretty face, and her smile is even better, bright and moving, but why is this smile so unpleasant?

"I remembered something happy." Lin Ziyi shrugged: "I once saw a joke. A man said, it's not that I lasted less than ten minutes, it was just because I didn't want you to be too tired, so I only took one minute."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Lin Ziyi laughed even louder.

Xu Nan pouted: "Okay, you can laugh if you want. When I become a great director, I will return this joke to you intact."

"Well, I believe in your talent. That day will not be too far away." Lin Ziyi nodded seriously: "I should be able to see it when I die of old age."

"Hahahaha." Lin Ziyi couldn't help laughing again.

While joking, the two people came to a theater, which was also the place where Warner held a movie viewing party.

At the door, Warner's vice president and "Pacific Rim" director Benjamin was welcoming theater representatives at the door.

Lin Ziyi got out of the car, her long hair naturally flowing down her back, her eyes bright, and her facial features stunningly bright. The black suit gave her an amazing aura.

Like a queen arriving.

"Hello, President Lin."

Warner Vice President and Benjamin came up to her with smiles. The two big shots in the industry were almost humble in front of Lin Ziyi.

"Hello."

Lin Ziyi said hello, but her attitude was very cold.

What's the use of these two people's good attitudes? They didn't give them any key benefits. If they didn't want to break up, she really didn't want to come to this movie party.

"Hello, Director Benjamin, I am a fan of yours and have watched several of your films. They are all very wonderful and are the guiding light in my life."

Xu Nan held Benjamin's hand from "Pacific Rim" very enthusiastically.

Benjamin's hair is very sparse, almost bald, and his face is swollen. He looks more like a gang member than a director.

But in fact, he is a famous American director who has shot several movies, one of which even grossed more than 300 million US dollars at the box office.

Seeing Xu Nan being so enthusiastic, Benjamin felt a little happy.

He had heard this kind of compliment countless times since he became famous, but this time it was different.

Xu Nan came here with Lin Ziyi, and was obviously a senior executive of the Imperial Cinemas.

The benefits of a theater chain executive admiring him so much can be said to be countless. Not to mention other things, just in terms of film arrangement for the theater chain, with such a theater chain executive who admires him, what else should he worry about? .

Before that, Benjamin heard about the conflict between Warner and Imperial Cinemas, and was worried that Imperial Cinemas would secretly reduce the schedule of the movie "Pacific Rim."

Although he is a director, he is still a bit underwhelmed in front of the two entertainment giants.

But now seeing Xu Nan admire him so much, Benjamin's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he chatted with Xu Nan with a bright smile.

As they chatted, Benjamin felt like he had discovered a treasure.

The executives of this Imperial Cinemas know a lot about movies!

He actually knows the relationship between lens and space! !

Oh my gosh, he is literally my soulmate! ! !

Benjamin and Xu Nan became happier and happier as they chatted. The two seemed to be friends for many years, laughing heartily from time to time.

Warner's vice president and Lin Ziyi both looked at this scene with strange eyes.

After a long time, Warner's vice president finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Director Benjamin, the movie will be played soon."

Hearing these words, Benjamin knew that this chat was coming to an end, and for the first time, he felt a sense of reluctance.

It was such a pleasure chatting with this Imperial Cinema executive.

"Xu, you have an extraordinary understanding of movies. I even think you are more suitable to be a director than me."

"Unfortunately, the movie will be released soon. Let's exchange contact information and talk after the movie is over."

Benjamin took the initiative to exchange contact information with Xu Nan, obviously not satisfied.

If the movie hadn't been released soon, he could have continued chatting with Xu Nan.

Xu Nan's expression was similar to his, with light in his eyes: "Director Benjamin, in my heart you are the best director in the world. I believe your new work "Pacific Rim" will be a wonderful work."

"Hahahaha." Benjamin laughed happily: "Believe me, "Pacific Rim" will not disappoint you. This is a wonderful commercial special effects production that will definitely make the audience crazy."

After exchanging contact information, Xu Nan and Benjamin said goodbye reluctantly.

After Lin Ziyi and Xu Nan disappeared from sight, the vice president of Warner finally said: "Benjamin, why are you chatting so happily with Xu."

Even after Xu Nan left, Benjamin still had a smile on his face, the smile of happiness when he met his close friend.

"Don't you think he is very funny and humorous? Really, if it weren't for me being married, I would even think I had met my soul mate." Benjamin smiled.

The vice president of Warner couldn't help but twitched: "Do you know his identity?"

Benjamin nodded: "Of course, he is from the Imperial Cinemas. Maintaining a good relationship with him will help us improve the film schedule of "Pacific Rim" in the Imperial Cinemas."

"I'm doing this for work, you should be able to understand me."

The vice president of Warner couldn't hold it any longer: "No, no, no, he is not an executive of Imperial Cinemas. He is the director of "The Age of the Hobbit". What he is best at is making big-budget movies."

"Benjamin, you were deceived by him."

Boom.

a bolt from the blue.

Benjamin looked like a fool, showing an expression of disbelief.

I thought we were friends and confidants, but I didn’t expect you to have ulterior motives.

He felt a pain in his heart, as if his wife had been robbed, and it was so sour that it was hard to describe.

"So, this is why Xu came to watch the movie," Benjamin said with difficulty. Thinking of Xu Nan's chat with him just now, he felt a sense of pain that Xiao Feng knew about his life experience.

The vice president of Warner nodded solemnly: "If I am not wrong, his purpose is probably to try to interfere with our movie, just like "The Age of the Hobbit" interfered with "The Hobbit"."

"This should be what Emperor Cinema Lin Ziyi means."

The vice president's expression was a little solemn. He knew that if his company did not give Imperial Cinema a share, Lin Ziyi would definitely counterattack.

But at most he thought that Lin Ziyi would play tricks on the film arrangement. What he didn't expect was that she actually brought Xu Nan over.

This move was both unexpected and a bit disgusting.
