This director only makes bad movies

"Mr. Xu Nan, I'm very curious. Why do you, a Chinese, come to the United States?"

show host Vincent asked.

Xu Nan replied: "Many people want to come to the United States because it is the most developed country in the world, and the reason why I came to the United States is very simple. It is easy to make money here."

Vincent smiled: "It's easy to make money, how can I put it?"

Xu Nan spread his hands: "Isn't it easy? The filming cost of "Area 51" was less than 50,000 US dollars, but it achieved good results of one billion US dollars."

Xu Nan's demeanor is very casual, with the air of a college student, that kind of clear innocence.

Looking at him, it seems that making money is really easy, just as easy as drinking water.

Vincent laughed: "According to what you said, it seems that making money is really easy, but as far as I know, a lot of money was spent on promoting the movie "Area 51."

Xu Nan nodded: "Yes, this movie did cost a lot of money to promote, but it was not included in the shooting cost."

Vincent: "But even if a lot of money is spent on promotion, there is no denying the success of this film. This is a work that can be recorded in the history of American film. I am very curious, how did you think of promoting it in this way? "

Xu Nan thought for a moment and then replied: "The reason why I chose this way of thinking is mainly because after I came to the United States, I found that American people are very anti-intellectual."

"Sometimes this kind of anti-intellectualism is even irrational. Some very ridiculous conspiracy theories have a huge market. Many people really believe them. Some cults even preach openly without anyone controlling them."

"So I thought, why not capitalize on this emotion, and so the movie "Area 51" was born."

Vincent nodded involuntarily.

Xu Nan is not the only one to observe the anti-intellectualism of Americans. Many people with lofty ideals in the United States have noticed it, and there are even experts who specialize in studying this.

Xu Nan was the first to use the anti-intellectualism of Americans to gain box office.

In the future, someone should try to learn from his approach, but it is not that easy to succeed in this matter.

Vincent asked again: "In addition to "Area 51," you also filmed three copycat films in the United States, "Three Thousand Spartans," "Atlantic," and "The Age of the Hobbit." This type of movie is a copycat movie."

"Excuse me, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making this type of movie?"

Xu Nan blinked: "Actually, it was an accident that I made this type of movie. Many Americans may not know that the earliest copycat film was actually made by me in China."

"At that time, I took over a company that was about to go bankrupt. I had less than 30,000 US dollars in capital and still owed a foreign debt."

"At that time, in order to pay off the debt, I had no choice but to shoot a movie with a similar name to a big-budget movie."

"My idea at the time was very simple. As long as I could get a little bit of popularity, I could make $100,000. But I didn't expect that the movie was unexpectedly popular and made me tens of millions of dollars. Then I discovered This business opportunity.”

Vincent showed a surprised expression: "I actually made tens of millions of dollars. It's really crazy."

"Yes." Xu Nan nodded.

In fact, Xu Nanmei simplified the process of starting his own business, deliberately speaking as if he was forced to do so.

After all, there are still many people who have certain prejudices against copycats.

Moreover, this statement is very interesting and easier to spread.

Think about it, one is to observe quietly and conclude that there is a market for copycat products, and then the shooting will be successful.

Another one was forced to take pictures casually and achieved unexpected success.

Obviously the latter is easier to spread and easier to remember.

Successful people always have an interesting story to set up their character.

Isn’t that what everyone does?

Vincent didn't ask for details, but just chatted with Xu Nan like friends.

He asked a lot of questions, but they never made Xu Nan feel embarrassed. Instead, she felt very comfortable.

The two talked about many things and talked about everything.

Finally, Vincent asked: "You have achieved great success in the United States, but as far as I know, you are still a foreigner and don't even have a green card. Have you ever thought about joining the United States?"

Xu Nan shook his head firmly: "I never thought about it."

The United States is a country of immigrants, and people here don’t really value their original nationality.

If Xu Nan chooses to join the United States and become an American, then relying on his current status, achievements, and a little effort, Americans can actually accept him.

Although the United States is dominated by white people, other races can actually live very well in this country, as long as you accept the values ​​here and work hard to integrate with them.

But Xu Nan didn't want to do that because this was not his motherland. Even though he had laid a good foundation here, he still didn't want to stay.

Vincent was surprised: "Never?"

Xu Nan's answer surprised him.

Because many people are willing to abandon their wives and children, travel thousands of miles, and even risk their lives in order to become Americans.

Coupled with the fact that the United States ranks first in national power, people will inevitably have a feeling of arrogance.

So Vincent was a little shocked to hear about Xu Nan's country.

Xu Nan nodded seriously: "Yes, I have never thought about becoming an American citizen. Moreover, I will leave the United States soon and return to my own country."

Vincent was even more surprised: "I'm going back soon."

Xu Nan nodded: "That's right."

Vincent: "But your movie Area 51 just became a huge success."

Xu Nan suddenly showed a strange smile: "I remember when I came to the United States to participate in the program for the first time, I said that I would conquer the American audience with my movies and teach American directors how to make movies."

"Many people said I was dreaming at the time, but it turned out that I had already done it."

"Now that my goal of coming to the United States has been accomplished, there is certainly no need for me to stay here."

Vincent:"."

Are you serious?

He had indeed heard such a statement, but he did not expect that Xu Nan would actually say it again.

But thinking of Xu Nan's character, Vincent felt that this was normal.

If you just say this, you will easily get beaten.

After the recording of the program was completed, it was broadcast immediately. The TV station basically did not edit anything and broadcast everything Xu Nan said.

In the United States, Xu Nan is still quite popular. Coupled with the television station's audience base, many people watched the program after it was broadcast.

There is no doubt that Xu Nan's words caused some controversy.

In particular, Xu Nan said that he would return to China soon.

The news of Xu Nan's return to China spread throughout the Internet in a short period of time.
