This director only makes bad movies

The turmoil on the Internet actually has little impact on the parties involved.

Although netizens generally sympathize with Cameron, this sympathy is meaningless to him, and there is no way to reverse the embarrassing situation faced by Cameron.

"What do the three major theaters say?" Cameron asked his assistant again. He no longer had the arrogance before, only anxiety remained.

"The theater said they are still investigating and it will take time," the assistant said hesitantly.

Cameron frowned and said: "What about the release of the movie? The fake movie has been exposed for so long, why are they still releasing this movie?"

"Well, the theater said it will take time to adjust," the assistant said helplessly.

Cameron was angry: "It's just a matter of changing the copy. This also takes time. What do the theaters want to do? Do they not want to release my movie?"

Cameron's voice was loud, almost like a roar. When the assistant saw that Cameron was really angry, he did not dare to speak and stood silently beside him.

After Cameron vented his anger, he felt much better. Seeing the assistant's reserved look, he knew that the matter had nothing to do with him and waved his hand.

"Continue to contact the theaters. No matter what, we must ask them to change the film source and switch to my movie for release."

"Okay." The assistant quickly left the room as if he had received an amnesty.

Cameron sighed on the spot and sat dejectedly on the boss's chair, his brows almost furrowed into a "Sichuan" shape.

The current situation was so difficult that he didn't know what to do?

The three major theater chains have been delaying the release of his movies and only showing fake movies. Cameron has urged him several times. He even contacted the bosses of the three major theater chains, but all he got were perfunctory answers. .

You know, the three major theater chains account for 80% of the American film market. As long as they insist on not showing Cameron's movies, it is equivalent to losing 80% of the box office.

The total cost of Cameron's movie is about 300 million U.S. dollars. Not counting overseas box office and other income, the U.S. box office will require at least 89 million U.S. dollars to make money back.

However, the box office limit in the United States is only about 12.3 billion U.S. dollars. If the three major theaters do not show his movies, the box office limit of Cameron's movies is only 3.4 billion U.S. dollars.

This is still calculated based on the best case scenario, but under normal circumstances, this box office is almost impossible to achieve.

The key is the three major theater chains. If they insist not to release the movie, Cameron's movie will inevitably lose money. Even if overseas box office and other income are added, it will be impossible to make money in the end.

You know, Cameron invested most of his fortune in this movie. If he ends up losing money, he won't be in debt, but he will definitely lose a lot of money.

In this case, Cameron completely lost his previous calmness and became extremely anxious.

Everyone is averse to loss, especially a great director like Cameron who is at the top of his game. He cannot accept his own failure, especially in such a ridiculous and funny way.

So he urgently needs the three major theaters to release his movie.

But the problem is that the three major theater chains just don’t agree and keep delaying it.

This is where things came to a standstill.

Although Cameron signed a contract with the three major theater chains, allowing them to pay liquidated damages, he did not dare to do so.

After the movie is released, there are only a few days to harvest the box office. If Cameron chooses to litigate with the three major theater chains, he cannot afford the time alone, not to mention whether he can win the lawsuit.

From preparing materials to appealing to closing the case, this process will take only a few months. By then the day lily will be cold, and even if the movie is released in theaters again, it will be impossible for the audience to go to the theater to watch the movie.

In fact, Cameron's losses are already huge now. It has been three days since the movie was released. He has lost at least 100 to 200 million US dollars in box office, and as time goes by, his losses are getting worse. Come bigger.

But Cameron was powerless.

At this moment, the door opened and the manager of Cameron Company hurried in.

"Boss, I have good news. I know who the director of the fake movie is?"

Wherever you walk, you will leave traces. Although Xu Nan did a good job of keeping secrets, he still couldn't keep it secret when the whole world was curious, and he was caught.

Cameron looked surprised and immediately asked: "Which bastard is it?"

The manager immediately said: "It's Huaxia director Xu Nan. I heard this from a senior executive of the Imperial Cinemas. It's very credible, and there's also evidence from netizens on the Internet."

Cameron gritted his teeth: "It turned out to be him."

Xu Nan was the target of his suspicion. The manager just said it without looking at the evidence. Cameron believed it immediately.

Only this shameless Chinese director can do such a thing.

Cameron unconsciously thought of the time when Xu Nan tweeted that his movie would be released on the same day as "Titanic 2". At that time, Xu Nan didn't name his movie, and Cameron thought he meant it. I wanted to play tricks and deceive the audience, so I didn't tell the movie name.

Now he finally understood that Xu Nan deliberately did not report the name of the movie because he wanted to pass it off as a fake movie.

This is no longer a scam, it's pure fraud.

Cameron was so angry that his liver ached when he thought of this bastard pretending to be a fanatic and performing in front of him on the day of the premiere.

The most annoying thing is that he was so stupid that he believed it.

What a shame, what a shame. What a shame.

His IQ was completely crushed by the other party.

The strong sense of shame made Cameron blush with shame. If Xu Nan appeared in front of him at this time, Cameron would definitely bite him hard to calm down.

"Immediately publish this matter on the Internet and let netizens know."

"When posting messages, be careful with the words you use. We should put ourselves in the perspective of the victim and be a little pitiful so that netizens can sympathize with us and apply pressure from public opinion."

"Also, send a lawyer's letter to Xu Nan, asking him to remove the movie immediately and compensate us for all losses. Otherwise, we will go to court to sue him."

Cameron said angrily.

"Okay, boss, I'll take care of it right away." The manager nodded: "By the way, if you want to send a lawyer's letter, what crime would be better?"

Cameron was stunned.

Yes, on what charge?

Plagiarism!

No, although the plot of the fake movie is very similar to "Titanic", it does not meet the standards of plagiarism.

In this regard, Cameron is very professional and knows very well that Xu Nan's behavior does not meet the standards of plagiarism. If he is prosecuted for plagiarism, he will definitely lose the case.

"Infringement." Cameron suddenly said: "Sue Xu Nan for infringement. The name of our movie is "Titanic 2", and his fake movie also has the same name. This is a serious infringement."

"If Xu Nan doesn't remove the movie and compensate for the losses, I will sue him and bankrupt him."
