This director only makes bad movies
Chapter 318 It’s outrageous
Cameron is a world-class director, revered as the God of Cards by his fans, and some even call him the number one director in the world.
The upcoming movie is also the sequel to "Titanic".
When "Titanic" was released, it swept the world and topped the global box office. To this day, it still maintains the record of being the first in the global box office, and its influence is extremely terrifying.
The sequel of such a movie is indeed qualified to negotiate terms with theaters.
"So will the theater chain compromise?" Xu Nan asked.
Lin Ziyi frowned slightly: "It's hard to say. The theater chain's attitude is also very contradictory now. They don't want to compromise, but they also want the movie to be released."
"After all, this is Cameron's sequel to Big Ship."
Lin Ziyi repeated what she just said.
There is no need to say much else. As long as the name of Cameron and "Titanic 2" is mentioned, the theater chain must consider it carefully.
Xu Nan was a little jealous.
As expected of Cameron, his influence is truly amazing.
This kind of influence cannot be achieved even if he makes a hundred copycat movies.
No matter how good the business model of copycat movies is, and no matter how profitable the copycat movies are, in terms of social impact, 10,000 movies combined cannot compare to one "Titanic".
It's ironic to say that they are all movies and entertainment methods used to kill time, but people always have to distinguish between high and low, and always create a chain of contempt.
Those who like to watch artistic movies look down on those who watch commercial movies, and those who watch commercial movies look down on those who like to watch copycat movies.
They are both watching movies. Is watching literary movies more noble than watching fake movies?
But there was no way, everyone thought so, and Xu Nan couldn't change other people's minds.
At the banquet, Cameron was surrounded by stars and stars, as if he were the center of the world, while Xu Nan stood on the edge, feeling vaguely ostracized.
After the banquet, Xu Nan returned to the company and searched for information about "Titanic 2" online.
As a work directed by Cameron, there is a lot of information on this movie on the Internet, and you can find a lot of it just by searching.
Netizens are also extremely concerned about this movie, and any news can trigger a large number of reprints and discussions.
According to information compiled on the Internet, the filming of the film has been completed. It is not clear whether the post-production work has been completed. There is no relevant information on the Internet.
But according to Lin Ziyi, the post-production work for the film should have been completed, and negotiations are currently underway with theaters to discuss box office sharing.
After the distribution is negotiated, the schedule should be confirmed.
Seeing netizens eagerly waiting for the movie to be released, Xu Nan was ready to make a move.
This is "Titanic", Jack and Rose, a classic couple. After so many years, Xu Nan still remembers the soundtrack of the movie very clearly.
Especially the scene of the two people standing on the bow of the boat, with Jack hugging Rose from behind, is an eternal memory.
Such a classic movie, if I don't touch it, I feel like my life is not complete.
This is the number one movie in film history. Xu Nan has been involved in many big productions, but the number one movie in film history has never been a hit.
If you don't touch it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
It's like playing a game. You've already mastered it. If you don't clear the level and save the last princess, then the game will soon be in vain.
However, it is not easy for Kashen’s movie to hit the mark.
The theater chain is having trouble getting over it. The two sides are fighting. If the news gets out, the theater chain might sell him to please Cameron.
In any industry, as long as a few people can become the top ones, they will have amazing influence, let alone the film and television industry, which already has amazing influence.
Inexplicably, Xu Nan felt unhappy.
Why? They are both making movies. Why is there such a big gap in status?
We must make a transformation. We can certainly make money by continuing to make copycat movies, but when the money reaches a certain level, it doesn’t mean much.
But that’s for the future, let’s make enough money first.
The thing at hand is to shoot a hit "Titanic 2" movie.
It doesn’t matter if it can’t be released in theaters. It can be released on streaming media, it can be released on video tapes, and if that doesn’t work, it can be released on YouTube.
Copycat movies are so convenient.
Then there's the matter of filming.
Xu Nan tapped the keyboard with his fingers and created a folder on the computer.
What kind of script should I write?
Nonsense hair style? A spoof? It's still quite decent but crudely styled.
Suddenly, Xu Nan recalled some memories from his previous life.
In his previous life, Cameron did not shoot the sequel to "Titanic", but chose to shoot "Avatar", which started a 3D craze.
This world is different from the previous life. Cameron chose to film the sequel of "Titanic" instead of filming Avatar.
However, similar 3D movies have already come out and have also set off a trend.
This is not the key. The key is that Shelter Film and Television in the past life made a movie called "Titanic 2", claiming to be Cameron's sequel, deceiving the audience to earn box office.
Not to mention the quality of the movie, it is still the same, but relying on the title of Titanic sequel, this movie made a lot of money.
Cameron was very angry after hearing the news and took Shelter Film and Television to court for copyright infringement.
But the final result shocked a group of people, and Cameron actually lost the lawsuit.
Faced with the question of Cameron's infringement, the lawyers of Asylum Pictures plausibly said that their company was filming the story of the ship Titanic 2 and was not a sequel to "Titanic".
The movie "Titanic" is based on a prototype. It was in the 20th century. A ship named Titanic hit an iceberg after setting sail, and most of the passengers on board were killed.
Later, Cameron's movie "Titanic" became a hit, and the shipyard built a cruise ship called Titanic 2 to ride on the popularity of the movie.
As a professional company, Shelter Film and Television with a keen sense of smell decisively won the film adaptation rights of this ship, and then the movie "Titanic 2" was born.
When Cameron took Shelter Film and Television to court for infringement, the professional lawyers of Shelter Film and Television were confident.
What we are filming is not a sequel to your movie. What we are filming is the story of this ship, which has nothing to do with your movie. Don’t be pretentious about it.
So Cameron lost the lawsuit spectacularly.
Having tasted the sweetness, Shelter Film and Television later made sequels to a series of classic movies such as Jaws, which can be said to be very unscrupulous.
Thinking of this, Xu Nan couldn't help but be ready to make a move.
Otherwise, let's watch "Titanic 2" to give Cameron a little taste of the shock of real and fake movies.
Since we have already decided to fight, it is better to fight to the end.
Cameron didn't give him a good look at the banquet. In this case, Xu Nan didn't need to give Cameron a good look.
He started searching for relevant information online.
After spending most of the day reviewing the information, Xu Nan was sure that his idea was feasible.
According to the information circulating on the Internet, the story Cameron filmed is still the story of a cruise ship called "Titanic".
The background of the movie is that after the sinking of the Titanic, another ship called the Titanic was built, and then...
The rest of the story has not been written online because the movie has not been released yet.
But it is enough to know this.
Because, Titanic and Titanic 2, these two ships are currently in this world and belong to the same company.
Xu Nan guessed that there is a high probability that Cameron has not obtained the film and television adaptation rights of the ship, because the entertainment industry does not yet have this concept, and the Titanic in Cameron's movie is not the same as the Titanic currently sailing. The ship, the real Titanic, hit an iceberg and sank decades ago.
However, the company that built the real Titanic still exists.
Xu Nan smiled.
There is much to be done here.
After thinking about it, Xu Nan called his boyfriend Zhan Beishan.
"Come out and play?"
"I'm very busy." Zhan Beishan's voice was full of fatigue.
He is still busy fighting a copyright lawsuit with Fox. The genuine Hobbit Milton is now excitedly preparing to bite off a piece of meat from Fox so that he can live a wealthy life for the rest of his life.
He is one of the participants.
This case has caused a sensation in the American legal community, and it is still anxious.
Xu Nan chuckled: "I have a legal question to ask you. It's very important to me."
"Time and place." Zhan Beishan said.
Xu Nan reported the time and place, and then hung up the phone.
Half an hour later, the two met in a coffee shop.
Looking at Fa Xiao with dark circles under his eyes, Xu Nan asked: "How is the progress of the Hobbit infringement case? When will Fox be able to pay compensation?"
"It's still early. It will take at least a year to conclude the case." Zhan Beishan disagreed.
"For such a large case without precedent, it will take one or two years for a result to be reached quickly. It may even go to the Federal Supreme Court and be decided by the justices."
"That's not bad. I heard that it is difficult for new lawyers in the United States to get along. You can receive such cases just after you start your career. You don't have to worry about it in the future." Xu Nan comforted.
A trace of gloom flashed across Zhan Beishan's face: "How can it be so good? That guy Milton doesn't trust me at all. He has already found another lawyer. I am only here to play a handyman role."
Xu Nan shrugged: "That can't be helped. Milton is a very stubborn guy. When I suggested that he leave it to me, he refused directly. But in any case, being able to participate in such a case will be great for your career." It’s good, isn’t it?”
Zhan Beishan nodded. In the United States, lawyers are an industry with lucrative income and high social status. The current president of the United States is a lawyer.
It is precisely because this industry is so popular in the United States that it is very difficult to get into the industry, and it is also difficult to become famous.
Being able to participate in such a big case just after his debut is really helpful to his career, even if he is doing odd jobs there.
"By the way, didn't you come to me to ask me for legal advice? This case is no worse than the Hobbit infringement case."
Xu Nan took out a stack of information that he had prepared in advance and handed it to Zhan Beishan: "Look carefully and see if I infringed upon the infringement when I filmed "Titanic 2". If I countersued Cameron for infringement on "Titanic", can I Can’t succeed.”
Zhan Beishan looked at the information and almost frowned: "This has no precedent at all. And it is outrageous."
