This director only makes bad movies

Industrial Light and Magic is a well-known special effects company in the industry. There are even rumors that they are the number one special effects company in the United States.

The special effects of the movie "Pacific Rim" produced by Warner Bros. and directed by Benjamin were produced by the famous company Industrial Light and Magic.

Now that you have decided to touch porcelain, you must have a complete set of pengci.

So Xu Nan decisively found this company and asked them to help produce the special effects for "Atlantic Rim".

Xu Nan is still somewhat famous. Industrial Light and Magic specially sent a manager to receive Xu Nan, named Vincent.

Vincent was very eloquent and took Xu Nan to visit Industrial Light and Magic, a famous special effects company in the United States.

"Xu, our company is the number one special effects company in the United States. We have been approached by many classic movies to do special effects."

"The Terminator, Titanic, oh, and The Hobbit."

At this point, Vincent showed a narrow smile: "I believe you must be deeply impressed by the dragon special effects in The Hobbit. Yes, this is produced by our company."

Xu Nan smiled: "I watched that movie, and the special effects in it were really shocking, especially the scene with the dragon Smaug. I was even scared."

Hearing the praise from the famous director Xu Nan, Vincent smiled proudly: "Of course, that is the pinnacle of our company."

"I can tell you a piece of news. Did you know that Warner's upcoming big-budget movie "Pacific Rim" is produced by director Benjamin. The special effects of this movie are also produced by our company. The movie will be released soon. I I think the special effects in the movie will shock the whole world.”

Xu Nan smiled: "I happened to have watched that movie through internal channels. Really, it was a blockbuster with wonderful special effects, especially the mechas and monsters in it, which are unforgettable."

Seeing Xu Nan's reaction, Vincent secretly thought calmly.

If nothing unexpected happens, this business should be successful, and as the receptionist, he can also get a lot of commission from it.

For this reason, Vincent's subsequent reception was even more enthusiastic. He took Xu Nan to visit the entire Industrial Light and Magic, and even let Xu Nan watch the entire process of a simple special effects production.

Not to mention, Industrial Light and Magic's technology in this area is really good, and the special effects are extremely realistic, almost like shooting in real scenes.

After the visit, Xu Nan and Vincent entered a conference room and began formal discussions.

"Xu, can you tell me now, how many minutes does your movie's special effects shot take?" Vincent asked.

"Six minutes, there are six minutes of special effects shots in my movie." Xu Nan said.

Vincent pondered for a moment.

The six-minute special effects sequence is short, but it's okay.

"My budget is fifty thousand US dollars." Xu Nan added.

"Walt?" Vincent suspected that he heard wrongly: "Xu, can you tell me again, how much money do you plan to spend on special effects?"

"Fifty thousand US dollars." Xu Nan looked serious.

Vincent's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief: "Xu, we are the number one special effects company in the industry."

Xu Nan nodded: "I know, that's why I came to find you."

"I think you may not understand what I mean." Vincent laughed angrily: "We are the number one special effects company in the industry. We only do the best special effects, so the fees are not low."

"Fifty thousand dollars, absolutely impossible."

Xu Nan laughed: "Vincent, don't worry. There are expensive ways and there are cheap ways. You can ask them to do special effects for fifty thousand dollars. I know the special effects will be terrible, but it doesn't matter. I don't mind."

"I mind." Vincent said angrily: "We are the number one special effects company in the industry and have strict requirements for special effects. We will never make rubbish special effects."

"You are a director. Don't you have any pursuit of film quality? Are you embarrassed to show the audience $50,000 in special effects?"

Xu Nan nodded: "Sorry."

Vincent was so angry that his body trembled.

Anyone who comes to Industrial Light \u0026 Magic to do special effects has high requirements, especially the special effects. The more exquisite and realistic the better.

But this director actually doesn't mind that the special effects are terrible.

He is not the kind who has no choice but to compromise and accept low-quality special effects because of limited conditions. He comes here purely for low-quality special effects.

How could there be such a director?

"No matter what, it's impossible for our company to accept $50,000 for special effects, and it's still $50,000 for six minutes of special effects." Vincent said solemnly.

"I will not give up. I will try my best to convince you until you agree." Xu Nan smiled.

Vincent was so angry.

Is this what you, a director, should say?

Next, the two had a cordial and friendly exchange, fully exchanged opinions, enhanced their understanding, and finally reached an agreement.

Industrial Light \u0026 Magic finally agreed.

Because Xu Nan said that the name of his movie is "Atlantic Rim", which is specially designed to compare with "Pacific Rim". If the movie is similar, the special effects can also be similar.

Industrial Light and Magic can use this to promote its company.

Look, our Industrial Light \u0026 Magic is very powerful. We can produce special effects worth tens of millions of yuan, and we can also produce special effects worth tens of thousands of yuan.

Don't bargain with us, but if you bargain, look at the special effects on "Atlantic Rim."

Special effects companies also need publicity and gimmicks.

For the sake of publicity, Vincent finally pinched his nose and agreed to Xu Nan's request.

Fifty thousand dollars, just fifty thousand dollars.

Of course, the special effects produced with 50,000 US dollars must be very poor. They are basically the legendary 50-cent special effects.

It's not even at the level of special effects of 50 cents, maybe only 30 cents.

Industrial Light and Magic only took two days to complete Xu Nan's special effects.

Hmm. How should I put it?

This kind of special effects must be very rubbish, I can only say that it is barely passable.

But $50,000 is enough to achieve this level, so don’t ask for so much.

When Vincent sent Xu Nan off in the end, his expression was extremely ugly and he even said a special word.

"Maybe I shouldn't say it, but I'm going to say it anyway."

"Xu, please don't spend tens of thousands of dollars on special effects in the future. This is an insult to us."

Not only was Xu Nan not angry, she also comforted Vincent: "Believe me Vincent, you will not regret this decision."

"After the movie is aired, it will be a good advertisement for your company."

“You can even use me as an example for your clients.”

Vincent's expression twitched and he said nothing, waving Xu Nan off.

Although Xu Nan had not left yet.

In any case, after some twists and turns, the special effects of "Atlantic Rim" are finally completed.

The news soon reached the ears of Warner and Benjamin.
