This director only makes bad movies

The three major theater chains jointly held a celebration banquet, and the momentum was extremely impressive.

All the people with some status in the American entertainment industry came, and it was a star-studded event.

Xu Nan looked slightly helpless when he saw this scene.

Is there any mistake, the movie was made by me, this is also the celebration party of my movie, but I am not the protagonist?

I know I'm just a chess piece, but how about I give the chess piece some face?

In fact, theater chains really didn't pay much attention to Xu Nan. They even screwed Cameron, let alone Xu Nan, a foreign director.

This incident of real and fake movies is apparently led by Xu Nan, but people in the industry know very well that he is just a puppet standing in front of the stage, and the theater chain is the real mastermind behind the scenes.

But even if he is a puppet, he is still a bit intimidating in the circle.

After all, not everyone is qualified to be a theater puppet, and not everyone dares to cheat Cameron unscrupulously.

After Xu Nan enters the scene, you can often see people looking at him with disgust mixed with awe, as if he is some kind of heinous villain.

Especially the director, who looked at him with the most complicated eyes.

Originally, Cameron successfully negotiated good terms with theater chains, and most directors thought that from now on, directors would become more powerful and be able to negotiate profit margins with theater chains.

But I didn't expect that the truth was so cruel. The three major theater chains joined forces to suppress Cameron, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

After this incident, the director would be thankful not to mention that he had negotiated a share with the theater chain, but that his share was not lowered.

Even though they clearly know that Xu Nan is just a knife held out by the theater, everyone still has a complicated view of him.

Not everyone is qualified to be a theater knife.

This knife can be used to kill Cameron, and naturally it can also kill other directors.

This is why wherever Xu Nan goes, there is a large open space.

Looking from a distance, he really looks like a terrifying demon king.

From the reactions of people around him, Xu Nan understood that he was already established in the American entertainment industry.

"Congratulations to Director Xu for being so outstanding in the American entertainment industry. Look at the eyes of the people around you. They are filled with envy and jealousy." Lin Ziyi came over with a glass of red wine.

She was wearing a black dress, mysterious and noble, her flawless skin was dazzling white against the dress, her eyes were slightly narrowed, sexy and charming, and the corners of her mouth were raised in a teasing way.

Xu Nan sighed: "I think they want to kill me with their eyes."

"When the movie is released, I guess I will never be able to get American directors to accept me."

Lin Ziyi smiled: "You can't let them accept you in the first place. You are a director who makes knock-off movies. Who will accept you? And you are a foreigner."

"Some people in China say you are not worthy of being a director."

Lin Ziyi's words were very sharp, Xu Nan couldn't refute, but he couldn't help but mutter: "I suffered a big loss this time, okay? I came up with the idea, and I made the movie, but I made the least money, and I was All American directors are jealous."

Lin Ziyi rolled her eyes: "You still have the nerve to say it? It was your idea. If it weren't for you, would we be able to do such a shameless thing?"

"The money you make is the least. If it weren't for the cooperation of our three major theaters, you could make tens of millions of dollars. Moreover, you get a small share of the box office, but the copyright is in your hands, overseas copyright, streaming media copyright, and video tape copyright. , you didn’t say any of this, right?”

"As for being hated and wanting to make money and have a good reputation, why don't you go to heaven?"

Xu Nan had nothing to say, because what Lin Ziyi said was true.

He can only earn tens of millions at the U.S. box office, but there will be overseas box office and streaming media rights later, and the money will definitely not be small.

Conservative estimates suggest that he earned at least US$100 million from this movie.

It seems reasonable to make so much money and endure a little criticism.

If it were anyone else who could earn 100 million US dollars, let alone face criticism, they would probably happily agree to a sex change.

Even in the eyes of many people, Xu Nan's complaints are completely a kind of Versailles.

If it were anyone else, he wouldn't be able to get this kind of opportunity.

For many directors, they are not afraid of notoriety but of being unknown.

Just like many celebrities are not afraid of being hacked, they are afraid that no one will hack them.

Xu Nan and Lin Ziyi were chatting and laughing together. They were in a foreign country. They both came from the same place and had a cooperative relationship. The relationship was still very good.

This celebration banquet was nominally Xu Nan's celebration banquet, but in fact it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't need to socialize with others, so he could stand here chatting with Lin Ziyi.

While Xu Nan and Lin Ziyi were chatting, a strong man in a suit with a shaved head and a somewhat fierce look came over.

Although this strong man looked fierce, there was a hint of weakness in his tone.

"Hello, President Lin, I would like to talk about the filming schedule for my new movie."

Lin Ziyi smiled: "As for the film arrangement, of course I will try my best to provide you with a better film arrangement, but there is a prerequisite for this, that is, there is no problem with the quality of your film."

The bald director immediately said: "President Lin, don't worry, I guarantee that my movie will be a wonderful movie and will definitely live up to your expectations."

Lin Ziyi smiled and didn't say much. Instead, she introduced Xu Nan.

"This is director Michael. He made a movie called "The Lone Ranger."

"This is director Xu Nan. I don't think I need an introduction. I believe there is no American director who doesn't know him."

Xu Nan nodded towards Michael.

Imperial Cinemas not only has theater chains, but also has film and television companies under its umbrella, with film and television production capabilities.

This is also the reason why theater chains are so strong. A theater chain is not just a theater chain. They are also a film and television production company and an artist management company. Each of the three major theater chains is a monopoly giant in the entertainment industry.

Michael is probably a director under Imperial Cinemas, and he has made a movie that he wants to release in theaters.

However, even if it is a movie from the same company, it is still necessary to fight for the schedule when it is released. If the quality is not good and there are no audiences to watch the movie, it may be forced to be released within a few days of release.

In addition, the initial schedule of a movie is also very important. If the early schedule is not high and the quality of the movie is very good, the audience will not be able to watch it, and part of the box office will be lost.

This Michael probably came to Lin Ziyi because of the film arrangement. He wanted Lin Ziyi to give him a higher film arrangement as much as possible, which would significantly promote the movie box office.

But Lin Ziyi is not that easy to fool, and the film arrangement depends on the quality of the film.

Michael glanced sideways at Xu Nan and said in a cold tone: "Of course I've heard of bad film directors from China."

"If I'm not wrong, you should have been ready to imitate my "The Lone Ranger"."
