This director only makes bad movies

Xu Nan said seriously: "Mr. Chen, let's just talk business, don't do those vain things, okay?"

"As far as I know, Dayu Games is in a very bad situation right now and is in urgent need of funds to replenish its blood."

"I think this is why you are eager to package and sell the movie rights."

Chen Nantian couldn't believe it: "Director Xu, as the number one director in the country, don't you really want to make a real Xianxia blockbuster? Don't you want to fill the gap that there are no Xianxia movies in China and become the originator of Xianxia movies?" ?”

Xu Nan smiled politely: "I don't want to."

Chen Nantian: "."

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Xu, our company has decided to develop the mobile game "Legend of Sword and Chivalry". Once the mobile game is developed, the value of this IP will definitely increase again."

Xu Nan's face was expressionless: "Dayu Games' last online game just failed, how can you guarantee that your mobile game of Legend of Sword and Legend will be successful?"

"And how do you develop a mobile game without money?"

Chen Nantian smiled: "I don't think you need to worry about this, Mr. Xu. The Legend of Sword and Chivalry is a national-level IP. There is no need to worry about selling it. As long as the funds are obtained, the game can be developed. And our company has full confidence. This game can be a huge success."

Xu Nan smiled: "I believe you won't worry about selling the TV series rights, but as for the movie rights, who will buy them?"

"And if there are not enough funds, are you sure that the game can really be developed and be successful?"

Chen Nantian said firmly: "Our company has rich experience in game development, and we will definitely succeed."

Lin Ziyi smiled and stabbed at the side: "So your rich game development experience caused the last game project to fail."

Chen Nantian is very thick-skinned: "That was just an accident. We have learned lessons this time and will definitely succeed."

Xu Nan was a little impatient: "Mr. Chen, my willingness to come here means that I am interested in your company's copyright."

"Can you be sincere and stop talking nonsense?"

Chen Nantian said firmly: "Of course I come here with sincerity."

Having said that, Chen Nantian still talked about some substantive things.

Finally, after some negotiations, Nanmu Video bought the TV series rights and film rights of "The Legend of Sword and Chivalry" for 50 million.

Among them, the copyright for TV series is 35 million, but the copyright for movies is only 15 million.

The reason why the film rights are so low is mainly because no one wants to make a Xianxia movie, and Xu Nan is the only buyer willing to bid.

Like the copyright of a TV series, it has long been verified by the market. If there are people watching it, the price will naturally rise.

After reaching an agreement, Chen Nantian felt much more relaxed and held Xu Nan's hand.

His expression was very solemn: "Director Xu, Legend of Sword and Chivalry is a work that I personally led and developed in the early years. It is equivalent to my child. Now I give my child to you, and I hope you will not let him down."

"I hope you can make a Chinese fairy tale blockbuster that will shock everyone."

Xu Nan smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I will definitely treat your child well, and I will definitely make a good movie that will shock everyone."

Chen Nantian smiled: "Then I will wait for the good news from you, Director Xu."

Negotiation is over.

Xu Nan and Lin Ziyi returned to the company.

"Xu Nan, I have an idea."

Lin Ziyi said: "Since we have won the national-level IP film and TV series rights of "Legend of Sword and Chivalry", we can do a drama-film linkage."

"Movies and TV series are broadcast in the same time period, and they leverage on each other's popularity and achieve each other's success."

"How about it?"

"Don't."

Xu Nan quickly shook his head: "I plan to invest no more than three million in the Legend of Sword and Chivalry movie to make a spoof movie."

"It's not suitable for TV series to achieve mutual success at all."

"So forget it."

Lin Ziyi was shocked.

"No more than three million?"

"you sure?"

"Can this be photographed?"

three million?

I'm afraid even the actor's salary is not enough.

And make movies.

Xu Nan smiled: "Who said you can't make a movie with three million dollars? "Area 51" was made with only tens of thousands of dollars."

Lin Ziyi reacted quickly: "Are you going to make a bad movie again?"

Xu Nan was speechless: "What do you mean by a bad movie? I said I wanted to make a spoof movie."

Lin Ziyi frowned: "Xu Nan, you must not do this."

"You are now a world-famous director. You have finally cleared up your reputation with two good movies. Don't let yourself down and continue to make bad movies."

"This is really affecting you."

"You're not short of money, so why bother doing this."

Lin Ziyi persuaded her earnestly.

Don't understand

Does Xu Nan have any obsession with making bad movies?

A well-known director, he owns a film and television company, and Nanmu Video is also booming.

Isn't this good?

Why do you have to look for excitement to make a bad spoof movie?

This is totally inconsistent with your status as a great director, okay?

Moreover, Xu Nan now represents not only himself, but also the company.

Xu Nan's reputation has been affected, and even Nanmu Video's company image will be negatively affected to a certain extent.

Therefore, Lin Ziyi didn't want Xu Nan to make bad movies at all.

"Zi Yi, I thought you were a smart person."

"I didn't expect that you would be like those common people, holding on to such backward feudal thinking."

Xu Nan was extremely sad.

“When did I make a bad movie?”

"Tell me, when did I make a bad movie?"

Lin Ziyi opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

When you were in the United States, every movie you made was bad.

But she didn't say the words.

Because Xu Nan's expression was very different.

It's that kind of expression that's hard to describe.

Seeing Lin Ziyi's silence, Xu Nan continued: "It's just because there are so many people who think the same as you, so I have to make this movie."

"I want to prove with practical actions that the movie I made is not a bad movie."

“Changing the world’s mindset starts with me.”

After saying that, Xu Nan left the room.

Lin Ziyi's jade hand stretched out in the air, but she didn't say the words she originally wanted to call Xu Nan.

Forget it, let him be.

Maybe, geniuses always have a little quirk!

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain Xu Nan's obsession.

And she couldn't stop Xu Nan from going crazy.

Xu Nan called his old friend Liu Yang.

"Lao Liu, come to my office. I have a big plan."

"coming."

Liu Yang answered simply and acted even more crisply. He arrived at Xu Nan's office in a few minutes.

"I have obtained the copyright for Legend of Sword and Fairy Tales, and I plan to make this into a movie."

Liu Yang thought about it and analyzed: "The Legend of Sword and Chivalry is a national-level IP. Almost everyone has heard of it, and it has great box office potential."

"But the premise is that it must be done well. Xianxia movies are an unpopular genre in China. If they fail to produce the taste that the audience wants, it will easily be rejected."

"I think that if you want to make a good Xianxia movie, the most important thing is the special effects. As long as the special effects are good enough, the movie will be successful."

Liu Yang's analysis is sound and well-founded.

I have to say that this guy has really grown up, from an ordinary photographer to a senior executive of a film and television company with strong market analysis capabilities.

Xu Nan shook his head: "Old Liu, the movie I want to make is a spoof film similar to "Captain China". It does not require special effects and there are no big scenes. I estimate that the shooting cost will not exceed three million."

Liu Yang blinked.

"Mr. Xu, I don't quite understand."

"What do you mean, you want to make a traditional thunder movie that Summit Films is good at?"

Xu Nan felt very relieved.

He is worthy of being his right-hand man and his humerus minister.

In terms of thinking, he is different from others.

That's right, what I want to make is not a bad movie, but a thunderous movie.

Listen clearly, it's not a bad movie, it's a thunder movie.

"That's right, it's thunder."

Liu Yang still couldn't believe it: "It's true, Mr. Xu, you are planning to come back to the world."

"Of course." Xu Nan nodded.

"But, this will affect your reputation." Liu Yang hesitated.

Is Mr. Xu, who is already successful and famous, really willing to be humble and make a pornographic film?

Xu Nan smiled.

Laughed.

Then he laughed wildly again.

"Old Liu, it's not the first day you've been with me. Do you think I care about things like wind criticism?"

Liu Yang finally felt relieved and slammed the table hard in excitement.

"Mr. Xu, I have finally waited for this day."

"That's right, the reviews from netizens are nothing."

"We are at the top of the film and television industry. If we don't make a splash, we will already be a blockbuster."

"Thunder films are the key to the rise of Summit Films, and they are the movies that Summit Films is really good at."

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Xu, I feel very sorry since you stopped making this type of movie."

"You know how happy I am today when I heard you said you wanted to make thunder films again?"

Liu Yang looked extremely excited.

Xu Nan was also very excited.

"Don't worry Liu Yang, I have never given up."

"I have a dream, that is, for everyone to admit that thunder movies are a unique type of movie and not just some so-called bad movie."

"The audience's misunderstanding of thunder films is really too deep."

"So, as a great director, I must personally change the mindset of the Chinese people."

Xu Nanyi is strict in his words.

Liu Yang's blood boiled.

"Mr. Xu, you talk too much."

"We need to use actions to change the audience's outdated concepts."

"Tell me what we should do."

Xu Nan was stunned for a moment: "Nothing is needed from you yet."

"Because of this matter, we just made an intention and haven't officially signed the contract yet."

"I'll tell you in advance, just to prepare you first."

"As soon as we get the copyright, we will start filming immediately."

"I understand." Liu Yang nodded vigorously.

After revealing the news to his confidant Lao Liu, Xu Nan immediately devoted himself to his creative career.

What to create?

Of course, it was to create the movie script for Legend of Sword and Chivalry.

Although the contract has not yet been signed, the matter is basically a done deal. Once the contract is signed, filming can begin immediately.

Legend of Sword and Chivalry movie version.

About to set sail.
