This director only makes bad movies

Seeing a group of netizens on the Internet eager to see the movie "Area 51," Spielberg was extremely speechless.

No, it's so stupid that you can fall for such a simple trick and still believe it.

And this damn Chinese director Xu Nan, why does every movie promotion take such an unconventional route?

What a wicked way!

Evil heretics! ! !

Movie promotion is not like this at all. This is not movie promotion at all. This is a fraud.

The producer of "West Side Story" is a little worried: "The news I just received is that because "Area 51" is very popular on the Internet, the theater chain has increased the number of theaters and the proportion of movies scheduled for this movie."

This is what cinema chains are like. When they see the popularity of unreleased movies, they immediately increase their treatment because they want to make money.

Spielberg knew the tone of the theater chain very well and immediately curled his lips: "So what?"

The producer frowned: "Our movie will be released in ten days. Although the peak of the popularity of "Area 51" has passed by that time, it will still have a certain impact on our movie."

Spielberg smiled: "Don't worry, the quality of our movie is very good, it is a rare classic, and the audience will definitely like it. A mere "Area 51" will not have an impact on our movie at all. It’s just going to be a stepping stone for us.”

The producer's expression was still a bit solemn.

The truth is this, but what if?

If Xu Nan's movie becomes a big hit and the popularity continues until their movie is released, then things will be very troublesome.

There is a hit movie in the same period, which is a disaster for other movies, sucking away the box office that should be theirs.

In terms of film quality, the producers are not worried. The quality of Spielberg's works has never been bad.

But Chinese director Xu Nan never plays by common sense and often makes some saucy moves. What if another saucy move affects the box office of their movies?

After thinking about it, the producer suggested: "Director Spielberg, if Xu Nan's movie becomes a big hit, I suggest that we change the schedule and move it back a few days."

Spielberg glanced at the producer dissatisfied: "Do I need to be afraid of this damn Chinese?"

"It's not out of fear, just in case," the producer said.

He knew that Spielberg was a very proud man, and as he got older, Spielberg became more and more proud, even to the point of being stubborn.

But for the sake of the movie's box office, he felt that it was not impossible to give in. A qualified businessman and director must abandon extra emotions and act for the sake of maximizing the movie's box office.

Spielberg nodded: "You can indeed adjust the schedule."

The producer was stunned.

Why did Spielberg suddenly become so easy to talk to? He thought it would take a long time for him to change his mind.

Spielberg said: "Just change the release date of the movie to two days later."

The producer opened his eyes in disbelief: "What?"

Xu Nan's movie is so popular that it's too late to avoid it. You actually want it to be released on the same day. Are you crazy and crazy?

The producer quickly said: "Director Spielberg, why are you doing this? This will cause our movie to lose a lot of box office and make us make a lot less money."

Spielberg said seriously: "Because I want to tell everyone that the quality of a movie is the most important and the best guarantee of winning the box office. Everything else is all crooked and meaningless."

The producer immediately retorted: "Even so, there is no need to release the movie two days later. This will cost us a lot of box office and take a lot of risks."

Spielberg took his time and said: "My producers, please listen to me, this is actually better for us."

"Xu Nan's "Area 51" is very popular on the Internet, which will increase the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies, causing many viewers who don't want to watch movies to come to theaters to watch movies, which will increase the market potential of the schedule."

"There is no doubt that the quality of his movies is not as good as ours. Maybe they will be more popular than ours at the beginning, but as long as the reputation of Xu Nan's movies collapses, our movie "Western Story" will be able to surpass Xu Nan's movies. He came to power and sucked in all the movie box office that originally belonged to him."

"So, having "West Side Story" released two days later is a very right choice."

The producer thought carefully.

There is some truth to what Spielberg said.

When a movie is released, the ones in the same period are all competitors. If at this time, a popular movie that everyone is optimistic about suddenly collapses in word-of-mouth and box office, then the box office that originally belongs to this movie will be sucked away by other movies.

There are domestic precedents, such as Li Huanying and "Tang Detective III".

Originally, most of the box office during the Spring Festival period belonged to "Tang Detective", but because of this movie's reputation, its reputation plummeted, which led to the rise of "Li Huanying".

This is because "Tang Detective" has a good foundation laid by the first two films and has strong publicity. Otherwise, "Li Huanying" can absorb most of the box office in the same period.

There has been precedent for this in Hollywood, so the producers understood what Spielberg was thinking.

But there is a premise, the premise is that the quality of Xu Nan's movies collapses, but what if it doesn't collapse.

If "Tang Detective 3" is as good as "Tang Detective 1", can "Li Huanying" still be popular?

Even if it can survive, will "Li Huanying" still have such a high box office?

If Xu Nan's movie "Area 51" is of high quality, then isn't their "Western Story" just a food delivery?

The most important thing is, even if the quality of the movie is not high, what if Xu Nan makes another trick and increases the box office of the movie.

This is not alarmist, because similar things have happened many times.

"Titanic 2" and "The Bourne Supremacy", both movies are of high quality, but one flopped and the other suffered.

You could have waited patiently for the peak of the popularity of "Area 51" to pass, wait and see the success or failure of this movie, adjust the schedule according to the situation, and make yourself invincible.

Why do you have to choose to advance the schedule and compete head-on with Xu Nan?

Even "West Side Story" is of high quality

But what if? ?

Who can say for sure when it comes to the market?

The producer was silent for a while and then seriously advised: "Director Spielberg, it's best not to do this. It's very risky."

"Furthermore, our movie has not yet been promoted on a large scale. Facing the highly popular "Area 51", we are inherently at a disadvantage."

Spielberg waved his hand: "I have decided to do this, and I believe I can succeed."

"'West Side Story' is an excellent movie and the audience will definitely choose it."

The producer was speechless.

Spielberg is a famous director and his boss. He has no way to stop what he decides.

After struggling for a long time, the producer finally could only say: "Okay, Director Spielberg, I respect your opinion."

"I will contact the theaters now. I believe they will give us a good number of theaters and the proportion of films scheduled."

"And our publicity plan must also be adjusted. At least it cannot be less popular than "Area 51", otherwise we will suffer a lot in terms of attracting audiences."

Spielberg nodded: "Of course."

He just has confidence in the quality of the movie and is not a fool. Of course, he must increase publicity.

The producer relaxed a little, but luckily Director Spielberg kept his cool, otherwise it would have been really dangerous this time.

"West Side Story" is indeed a good movie and is sure to attract audiences.

As long as nothing happens, they can make a lot of money this time.

Soon, the producer left in a hurry.

Changing the schedule of a movie is not something that can be done with just a word. It requires notifying theaters and actors, and also revising the publicity plan. In short, there are a lot of things to be busy with.

Spielberg's expression was calm.

The early release of the movie is the result of his careful consideration, and he firmly believes that this can maximize the movie's box office.

Because the movie "West Side Story" is really wonderful.

Xu Nan's pretentiousness is purely a fraudulent publicity method. It may attract some viewers at first, but when the audience comes to their senses, they will definitely curse Xu Nan.

When the time comes, his movies will definitely be able to counterattack and crush Xu Nan's movies.

Spielberg firmly believes in this, and his experience tells him that this will definitely succeed.

Xu Nan, a damn Chinese director, is so arrogant in the United States. As the oldest director in the United States, he has the obligation to let this guy know that the United States is not a place where he can be arrogant.

And this starts from the release of the movie.
