This director only makes bad movies

Special effects team leader Yang Ping's heroic words made Xu Nan very pleased.

He also believed that Yang Ping could do it.

Many people regard special effects as a fancy thing, thinking that it is high-tech and very complicated.

But in fact, whether the special effects are good or not ultimately depends on manpower.

To put it bluntly, there are not enough programmers.

There is no technical threshold for this thing. As long as there are enough programmers, any special effects can be made for you.

In terms of manpower, China has always been full of resources.

Xu Nan has been to Hollywood and visited special effects companies, so he clearly knows the level of special effects in Hollywood.

Domestic special effects are not bad. The reason why they were not as good as Hollywood before was just because domestic film companies were not willing to spend money.

In the domestic movie market, the biggest attraction for audiences to pay for tickets is movie stars, not fancy special effects.

Film companies are naturally market-oriented and spend money on actors instead of piling it all on special effects.

It cannot be said that they are short-sighted. It can only be said that there are no successful examples in the market, so they do not dare to take risks.

This gave Xu Nan an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

And no one except him has the courage to spend 80% of the funds on special effects.

It was the first time to meet such an awesome director, and these special effects companies were even more excited than they had been.

After completing this order, it doesn’t matter if you don’t open the business for a few years.

After inspecting the crew and confirming that there were no problems, filming officially started.

Thanks to Xu Nan's foresight, the protagonist was designed to be a blind man.

Liu Shishi's biggest shortcomings were fixed, so the filming of the movie went very smoothly.

In fact, as a first-line star, Liu Shishi still has some acting skills, but her eyes are a bit dull.

But if the protagonist is set as a blind man, his eyesight is no longer a shortcoming, but an advantage.

Xu Nan dared to say that no one in China was more suitable for this blind role than Liu Shishi.

Innate advantages that others cannot match.

There was no problem with the starring role, director Xu Nan was experienced, and the crew was basically all veterans, so the entire movie was shot very smoothly.

During the entire filming process, we did not encounter any major problems. Occasionally, some minor problems were quickly resolved.

Amid this silky smoothness, two months passed quickly and the film was successfully completed.

The special effects team did not disappoint Xu Nan. Under the stimulation of money, these programmers exerted 200% of their power to make the special effects scenes extremely delicate and grand.

Special effects team leader Yang Ping clapped his chest so loudly that he guaranteed that this was definitely the best special effect in China.

Xu Nan watched the movie and confirmed that Yang Ping, the special effects team leader, had not spoken.

The special effects of "The Starry Man" are not only the best in China, but also surpass most Hollywood movies.

The reason is very simple. Prices in China are low, and the same money can achieve better results than in Hollywood.

The money spent on special effects for the movie "The Eyes" is almost $605 million in U.S. dollars.

In Hollywood, it would cost at least US$100 million to make.

There are only a handful of movies in Hollywood that are willing to spend so much money on special effects.

When the movie is released, it will definitely shock the domestic audience.

After a series of work such as dubbing, color matching, and editing were completed, the most important part of the film was soon released.

And if you want to release it, the choice of schedule is the top priority.

In the office, Liu Yang was holding his mobile phone and frowning.

"Every good schedule is occupied by big productions. Even if it's a slightly worse schedule, the movie looks good."

Although Liu Yang knew that 90% of these movies were paper tigers, and only a handful of them were real tigers.

But before the movie is released, no one knows which movie is a real tiger and which movie is a paper tiger.

These movies, whether in terms of lineup, subject matter, or other aspects, look very fierce.

Even if Liu Yang has confidence in Xu Nan and "Staring Man", looking at these big productions, he feels a little nervous.

"Mr. Xu, which schedule should I choose? I feel like it's dangerous no matter which schedule I choose."

Xu Nan smiled: "Don't think about it, it will be June 3rd."

"June 3rd?" Liu Yang quickly turned to the date and took a look at which movies would be released at this time.

Then his eyes widened.

"Mr. Xu, are you right? On June 3rd, the big Hollywood production "Eternal Man" will be released."

"Is this a big Hollywood production?"

Liu Yang felt shocked.

Hollywood has always been synonymous with high quality and high box office in China.

Since the beginning of the marketization of Chinese films, Hollywood has been conquering the country, grabbing a lot of box office every time it is released, with only a few occasional failures.

Compared with other big productions, the threat from Hollywood is more terrifying.

Why couldn't Mr. Xu figure out why he had to go head-to-head with Hollywood?

Why not choose another time to go head-to-head with other major domestic productions?

If domestic big productions are like tigers, then Hollywood blockbusters are like wild beasts. They are not on the same level at all.

Xu Nan smiled: "It's a big Hollywood production."

Liu Yang frowned: "Mr. Xu, I think we should think about it carefully."

"It's not that I'm scared, it's mainly that there's no need to take that risk."

"Why don't it be released on May 1st? I just have three days off, and the few movies released don't look very good."

Xu Nan shook his head: "So what if it's a big Hollywood production? It's not like I haven't beaten it before. Last time, "Dragonfly Man 3" was blown up by me face to face."

Liu Yang was a little speechless. Wasn't the last time "Dragonfly Man 3" a special situation? Hollywood blockbusters are so powerful, who can guarantee to win every time?

But Mr. Xu is so confident, is it possible?

"Mr. Xu, have you thought of any good publicity methods?" Liu Yang's eyes lit up.

Liu Yang was not convinced by anything else but Xu Nan's marketing and publicity skills.

Mr. Xu's marketing ability is unparalleled. No matter what kind of crap the movie is, he can make it a box office hit through marketing.

As long as Mr. Xu starts marketing, let alone Hollywood blockbusters, even alien blockbusters will still be crushed.

To be politically incorrect, the time Liu Yang misses the most is when Mr. Xu made bad movies and used marketing to make them big hits at the box office.

Some time ago, Xu Nan's "The Beginning" counterattacked by relying on word of mouth. Although Liu Yang was happy, he was not as excited as the bad movie selling well.

How exciting it is to have a bad movie that sells well. First of all, there are negative reviews on the entire network, and everyone is not optimistic about it. Then Mr. Xu’s marketing goes against the grain and comes back to life, and it sells well at the box office, and everyone exclaims that it is impossible.

It felt like a roller coaster ride.

Very exciting.

Now that Mr. Xu dares to collide head-on with Hollywood blockbusters, he must be confident.

Definitely planning something again.

How does Mr. Xu plan to go against the grain this time and shock the world?

Liu Yang felt inexplicably expectant.

However, Xu Nan glanced at Liu Yang and shook his head: "There is no special promotion method, just normal promotion, and rely on absolute quality to crush the opponent?"

"No?"

"No."

"Really not?"

"Not really."

"But that's a Hollywood blockbuster." Liu Yang couldn't believe it.

Xu Nan said solemnly: "I said, I'm targeting big Hollywood productions."

"Domestic directors now regard Hollywood blockbusters as a scourge. No one dares to confront them head-on, and they all think it is impossible to win."

"As the director with the highest box office in China, of course I have to set an example and tell domestic filmmakers that Hollywood blockbusters are nothing more than that and there is nothing to be afraid of."

Liu Yang was stunned.

When did Mr. Xu's consciousness become so high?

Not to mention, when Mr. Xu said this, he instantly looked much taller, which made his blood boil.

Xu Nan continued: "And our "Staring Man" has achieved the ultimate in special effects and quality, even better than Hollywood movies."

"But it's useless to say this kind of thing with words alone. Only by defeating Hollywood blockbusters head-on can people admit it."

"I just want to use practical actions to tell domestic filmmakers that Hollywood blockbusters are not gods and can be defeated."

"The rise of domestic films starts with me."

These words made Liu Yang's blood boil.

He's on fire.

Liu Yang was extremely excited: "Okay, since Mr. Xu said so, let's do it this time."

"With the high quality of "The Staring Man", there is really nothing to be afraid of."

"I don't believe that Hollywood is really invincible. We defeated "Dragonfly Man" last time, so this time "Eternal Man" has nothing to fear."

"Last time we relied on marketing. This time we are upright and rely on quality to blow up Hollywood blockbusters and leave people in the industry speechless."

"I'm going to contact the theaters now."

Liu Yang left in a hurry.

Xu Nan couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Yang is so easy to fool.

In fact, the reason why he chose to release it on the same day as "Eternal Man" is because he knew that this movie was rubbish and "Starer" could step on this movie and rise to the top.

As for how you know it, the reason is simple.

"Eternal Man" has already had a theatrical preview in the United States. Lin Ziyi told him that the movie was very rubbish and was simply terrible.

There are almost no special effects, the whole process is theatrical, and the plot is messy and unclear.

There is even a plot that is extremely poisonous to Chinese people.

There happened to be a similar movie in my previous life, and it was also bloody.

In this case, Xu Nan has nothing to be afraid of.

Of course, part of the reason is to defeat Hollywood movies head-on and tell domestic filmmakers that there is nothing scary about Hollywood movies.

Don’t domestic movies think that they can only rely on crooked ways, so this time I will rely on quality to crush Hollywood blockbusters, leaving you speechless.

When a popular movie hits the market in the same period, it is a huge benefit for another movie and has a great stimulating effect on the box office.

For various reasons, Xu Nan chose June 3rd, a seemingly ordinary schedule.

As Liu Yang contacted theaters, the news that Xu Nan's new movie was scheduled to be released on June 3rd and will compete head-on with the Hollywood blockbuster "The Eternals" quickly spread.

People in the circle were stunned.
