This director only makes bad movies

Xu Nantong ignored the criticism from insiders and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the filming of the new movie.

Knowing that the new movie was being shot, the people in the company were very creative, and many people volunteered to join.

Xu Nan's movies are indeed regarded as low-end by many in the industry, but they are quite popular. For example, Paris is running for president, and Eliza is now also slightly famous.

Many people are not qualified to be picky at all, as long as they have a role, including some behind-the-scenes staff, they also hope to have more experience in filming a movie.

But Xu Nan didn't want anyone, because this movie didn't require many people at all, and even the camera was not a professional one, but a handheld one.

The actors were selected from the cast and crew, there were only two people, and the rest were not needed.

Moreover, these two actors did not show their faces, and the audience will never recognize who they are when it is released?

This movie is more of a documentary than a movie, or even a personal vlog.

The content of the movie "Area 51" is very simple. It is a record of a person holding a camera in Area 51. The content is very vague, and the whole process is full of pretense and has basically no real content.

Area 51 is a secret military base in the United States. It is rumored that there are aliens inside.

I don’t know if they exist or not, but Xu Nan just assumes that they do. Anyway, there are aliens in Area 51 in the movie.

That's right, the movie Xu Nan made is about aliens. The details are: A newly adult college student sneaked into Area 51 because he was curious about it, and found that there really were aliens, and he colluded with the US military to study it.

Then he was killed by aliens, and the camera in his hand was left behind. He was accidentally discovered and sent to the cinema.

Americans, if you are curious about aliens and want to know what they are doing in Area 51, then come and see them.

Yes, the key to this movie is to make Americans believe that there are aliens in Area 51, colluding with the federal government to engage in conspiracy, arouse their curiosity, and then watch the movie.

This would definitely be useless in China, but in the United States, it is really useful.

First of all, the story of Area 51 has been circulating in the United States for decades, and basically everyone has heard it.

Then in the magical land of the United States, people particularly believe in conspiracy theories. Every day a new conspiracy theory is born, and there are still a group of people who believe it.

Therefore, the movie "Area 51" is uniquely endowed in the United States. As long as it is well promoted, no one will come to see it.

Xu Nan's inspiration for this movie came from "The Blair Witch Project", which was a very outrageous movie that left a mark in the history of American film.

The director of "The Blair Witch Project" is a newcomer who spent $50,000 using a handheld camera to shoot a movie about searching for witches.

This movie can be said to be very, very rubbish. It has no merit at all. I couldn’t watch it for three minutes.

Because this movie was so hot, when he went to major film and television companies to promote it, no one liked it and they all told him to get out.

Frustrated, the director of "Blair Witch" chose to attend a film festival, hoping to find Bole, watch his film, and buy it for release.

But it's still useless, because no one can watch this movie, because the movie "Blair Witch" is too hot, and there is no advantage in it. The buyers of other film and television companies are not fools, how could they buy it? .

Until one day, a senior buyer from Artisan Entertainment saw the movie. Because he was in a bad situation at the time and urgently needed a movie to make a breakthrough, he thought he could use a special promotional method to promote the movie. Decided to buy this movie.

The special promotion method of Artisan Entertainment buyers is fraud.

He first posted a missing person notice on the Internet, saying that three college students were missing because of the search for witches, and asked everyone to help find them.

Because Artisan Entertainment's publicity was powerful enough, many people became concerned about the disappearance of the three college students after learning about it, and were extremely concerned about their whereabouts.

Then, Artisan Entertainment had overwhelming rumors about witches on the Internet, because many people had heard stories about witches when they were children, and their curiosity about this matter was aroused.

Finally, Artisan Entertainment released the news that the videotape of the missing college student had been found. Curious audiences flocked to the cinema to watch the movie. "Blair Witch" was a box office hit, with more than 100 million US dollars.

A movie shot for US$50,000 ended up with a box office of more than 100 million. "Blair Witch" became a typical case in the United States of using a small amount to make a big difference.

This time Xu Nan wants to replicate the miracle created by "Blair Witch" and do it better.

Only some Americans have heard of the legend of witches, but the story of aliens, UFOs, and Area 51 is known to the whole world.

Even Xu Nan, a foreigner, has heard of it, let alone an American who is anti-intellectual and likes conspiracy theories.

Hidden history is not on the same level as the UFOs in Area 51.

One can imagine what kind of trend this movie will set off when the publicity really starts. The filming of the movie went smoothly. Xu Nan found an abandoned military base as the shooting location to make the movie as realistic as possible, as if it were real.

Of course, it's impossible to really go anywhere, after all, there are no aliens in this base.

But without the aliens, the movie would still be made.

Have you ever watched "Into Science"? In one episode, there are never fallen leaves on the roof of a temple. They are found in other places, but not on this roof.

why?

In order to find out the answer, the program team filmed two full episodes. Experts from all walks of life put forward various hypotheses, including Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, aliens, etc., and finally came to the conclusion that the wind blew away the leaves. , so there are no fallen leaves on the roof.

Just outrageous.

But there are really many people who fall for this trick. They are very worried and want to know the answer.

Walking into a science program group can make a normal thing look outrageous, making people both love and fear it, and Xu Nan certainly has no problem with that.

Although this movie was fake from beginning to end, and the movie's box office relied entirely on publicity, he still tried his best to do his best.

From this aspect, Xu Nan is still very dedicated, although there is a high probability that it will be useless.

After all, this movie mainly relies on promotion, and the content of the movie does not matter at all. It is even okay if the screen is black throughout.

But Xu Nan had a bottom line and integrity, and still completed the film with perfection.

From the beginning to the end of the filming of the movie "Area 51", it took only three days in total, breaking Xu Nan's record for filming a movie.

But this is not the fastest. The fastest one is a Turkish director. He only spent one day and there was no shouting or pause in the whole process.

After the filming of the movie was completed, Xu Nan had a good meal with the crew members, and then turned to the post-production of the movie.

From editing, rendering, color matching and dubbing, Xu Nan did the entire process himself.

Because only he knows what it's like to make a movie.

The post-production work was actually very simple, and soon, a complete movie was released.

Well, that's what it tastes like.

Mysterious and mysterious, in the clouds and mist, pretending to be gods and ghosts, every moment of surprise.

It looks mysterious at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it has no actual content at all.

But this is the effect we want.

This is a college student's experience of entering Area 51, a video shot with his own life. What else do you viewers have to be dissatisfied with.

After the filming of the movie is completed, the next focus is on the promotion of the movie.
