This director only makes bad movies

Before filming, Xu Nan held a opening ceremony.

Xu Nan is a director. The filming of a new movie has started. Everyone is very curious. A large number of media came to the opening ceremony.

During the ceremony, Xu Nan was filled with pride in front of the visiting media.

"I know that many people are not optimistic about my new movie, and I also know that many people think that I can only promote and not make movies, let alone make good movies."

"I don't want to explain these doubts, because it's useless to explain with my mouth. When my new movie comes out, all doubts will be shattered."

As usual, these media outlets received red envelopes from Xu Nan and were given more face when reporting.

"Xu Nan threatened to use strength to crush doubts. 》

"Xu Nan: I can not only make bad movies, but also good ones." 》

"In the beginning, we will use quality to crush all dissatisfaction." 》

"The shooting of the new movie has begun, can Xu Nan create miracles again?" 》

"The future of choosing an amateur as the protagonist is worrying at first. 》

"Expert: Xu Nan is seeking death. 》

"Industry insiders believe that film shooting is not simple. 》

After the relevant news was released, netizens felt a little confused.

Xu Nan is making a movie again?

Many netizens thought that "Sharknado" was filmed by Xu Nan, so when they saw Xu Nan filming a new movie, they felt very outrageous.

Just after your last movie hit the market, you are making a new movie. You are becoming more and more courageous with every setback.

Or, running all the way down the road to failure?

But they still remember the news. Maybe they will forget it in a few days, but when the movie is released, they will remember it and become the potential audience of the movie.

The promotion of the movie actually starts from this moment.

People in the industry are relatively more professional and focus on the lineup of this movie.

Among them, the one who received the most attention was the film’s star, Li Ruoshui.

Industry insiders are puzzled.

"I can understand Xu Nan saying that he wants to transform and make good movies. After all, you can't get far by relying on crooked ways. It's relatively late for him to transform now, but what is the situation of choosing a new actor as the protagonist?"

"Yeah, I don't understand it at all. Xu Nan has made so many movies and is considered an experienced director. Don't you understand that choosing a professional actor can boost the box office of a movie?"

"Many actors in the industry have the ability to compete at the box office. As long as their names appear on the movie, the audience will watch it. Why didn't Xu Nan choose these people?"

"This actress named Li Ruoshui has never even studied acting. According to the information, she graduated from Aviation University and majored in electromechanical engineering."

"What?"

"It's too outrageous. It's understandable to choose amateurs, but they're not even acting majors. This is really outrageous."

"The other actors are all pretty reliable. Why is the most important protagonist so rubbish?"

"It can only be said that Xu Nan's choice has never been understood by others."

People in the industry are very concerned about Xu Nan's new movie, because Xu Nan said that he will use this movie to transform and make good movies.

The news circulating in the industry before was basically that Xu Nan was going to do something big, which made everyone itchy and wanted to know whether Xu Nan could successfully transform and make a good movie.

But as soon as the cast list came out, all the previous expectations turned into confusion.

Can not Understand it.

At this time, some people in the industry who were deeply prejudiced against Xu Nan began to sneer.

"You don't really believe Xu Nan's lies, do you?"

"You have been deceived so many times and you still believe Xu Nan. I am really worried about your IQ."

"No wonder Xu Nan succeeds every time he makes bad movies. The main reason is that there are too many fools."

People in the circle were not stupid. After hearing these words, they quickly woke up.

"What you mean is that."

"That's right, Xu Nan is going to start scamming again this time."

"If you think about it carefully, you will know that Xu Nan is best at making a junk movie a box office hit through marketing. So far, he has never failed with this trick. In this case, what reason does he have to transform? .”

“If you can succeed by making a bad movie, why do you need to make a good one?”

"There are too many shortcuts. If you ask him to change his methods and take the normal path, can he do it? Even if he can do it, will he be willing to take it?"

"Don't even think about it. This time it will definitely be another bad movie. The movie itself has nothing to pay attention to. The marketing method that goes with it is the focus."

"I find it ridiculous when I see a group of people speculating about why Xu Nan wants to use newcomers. They are professionals after all. They can't understand such a simple thing, because Xu Nan didn't put his mind into filming the movie at all. Newcomers and old people Does it make any difference to him?"

"Wake up, it's understandable for ordinary people to be deceived, but if professionals are deceived, you really have to doubt your level and IQ."

It must be said that Xu Nan's previous actions left such a deep psychological shadow on some insiders that they instinctively refused to believe that Xu Nan would choose to make a good movie.

And is it so easy to make a good movie? If Xu Nan can make it if he wants to, then what do they think of people who have been in the industry for many years?

After some exchanges, most people in the circle agreed.

Xu Nan is planning to make a bad movie again this time, and then use marketing to make money at the box office.

The opinions within the circle basically represent authority.

Soon, relevant statements spread from inside the circle to outside the circle.

In a movie forum.

"Do you know about Xu Nan's new movie?"

"You know, "The Beginning" has always been promoted on a small scale, and the popularity is not bad. Unfortunately, there are no big names, so there is no interest in watching it."

"Xu Nan is not a big name yet, he has the highest cumulative box office in the country."

"But everyone knows the quality of his movies. I don't believe anyone will look forward to Xu Nan's new movie."

"If there are no good movies to watch, I might choose his movies, but as long as there are other choices, I will definitely not watch his movies."

"Who says it's not the case? Several bad movies in a row have completely consumed the audience's trust. Let's see if his marketing this time can change his fate."

"But I heard that Xu Nan is going to make a good movie this time. He said that he will use quality to crush doubts."

"Hahaha, you believe what Xu Nan said, brother, how naive are you."

"Is this the legendary story of being fooled every time and being different?"

"Brother, let me tell you, according to the common saying in our industry, the movie Xu Nan made this time is still bad. If you don't believe it, you will know when the movie comes out."

"Just look at the fact that he chose a new actor. If he really made a good movie, wouldn't he choose someone who could carry the box office?"

"Let me put it here, the score of Xu Nan's new movie Douya will definitely not exceed six points. If it exceeds, I will live broadcast and jump into the sea."

Xu Nantong chose to ignore the rumors in the circle and the audience's doubts, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the filming process.

It may be that Xu Nan has accumulated rich experience through multiple shooting experiences and honed his skills.

Or maybe it's because he's been imagining this movie from the beginning, imagining it in his mind for several years.

After the filming actually started, Xu Nan was able to do everything with ease and ease. The whole process was very smooth and basically encountered no major troubles.

During the filming process, the crew also encountered an episode. Zhang Wei, a guy who thought he had seen through Xu Nan, told Li Ruoshui that the conditions on the crew would be very difficult before filming started, and asked her to be mentally prepared and not to cry from exhaustion.

Li Ruoshui believed it to be true and nervously did some mental construction.

But in fact, the conditions of the crew were very good, and Xu Nan didn't even think about saving money, which made Li Ruoshui confused and asked why Zhang Wei told him differently.

Time passed quickly, and in mid-July, after two and a half months of filming, the crew successfully completed filming.

Strictly speaking, this speed is relatively fast. It often takes more than half a year for many big directors to make a movie, and some even take more than a year.

There have been exaggerations for several years.

Xu Nan's style may have been fixed due to bad movies, and he has always shot things quickly. Even if he works hard to improve, the shooting speed is still very fast.

After the filming is completed, it is naturally the post-production of the movie.

Post-production is very important to a movie, and sometimes it is even more important than shooting, but this is not difficult for Xu Nan and he can handle it easily.

Post-production is complete, and then comes the most critical release.

The film's producer, Liu Yang, glanced at several good schedules with a bitter look.

"Mr. Xu, the situation is not good. All the good schedules have been taken up by big productions. No matter which schedule we choose, we will face strong opponents."

Liu Yang, who had experienced the entire filming process, knew that what Xu Nan was shooting this time was a serious and good movie, not the kind of blockbuster movie that sells off the meat of others.

Therefore, the choice of schedule is crucial to this movie.

The total cost of "The Beginning" is 100 million, and the box office needs at least 200 million to make back the money.

But Summit Films is used to eating meat, so how can it be satisfied with a box office of 200 million, and this is Mr. Xu’s transformational work. If the box office is less than 500 million, it is basically considered a failure.

If you want to have a box office of 500 million, you must choose a good schedule, otherwise, the market will not be able to accommodate it.

But if you choose a good schedule, you must compete with large-scale and high-quality movies from other film and television companies.

As a producer, Liu Yang is well aware of the quality of "The Beginning" and confirms that it is a good movie.

But a good movie may not necessarily achieve high box office. In this regard, the market is unreasonable. If one could know the box office of a movie simply by relying on predictions, there would not be so many blockbuster movies.

In this regard, even senior industry insiders cannot guarantee that movies will be 100% profitable.

Which schedule should I choose?

Liu Yang felt very embarrassed.

Xu Nan was mentally prepared. He looked at several popular schedules and smiled slightly.

"Just choose gear eleven."

Liu Yang's eyes widened: "Mr. Xu, you're not mistaken. The eleventh episode is directed by Zhang Yange and produced by a Hollywood team. It stars Matt, Lin Hongxiu, Pedro, Andy Lau and others. It is a large-scale Sino-US co-production "The Great Wall". "ah."

Xu Nan laughed: "I played "The Great Wall"."
