This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 123 Tao Heng starts to update

On the seventh day of "Captain China"'s release, the cumulative box office of the film was 1000 million, and the growth momentum still shows no signs of slowing down.

By this time, the insiders had fallen silent.

This movie has already made them unable to understand. No matter how they scold, how ironic, how bad this movie is, they still can't change the fact that the movie box office is soaring.

This movie is like a high-speed train, rushing forward and smashing all obstacles.

According to this trend, the box office of "Captain of China" may even reach 15 billion, breaking the box office record of domestic film history.

The fact that a piece of rubbish and rotten film can beat all domestic films makes people in the circle dumbfounded.

The film industry is a very cruel industry, but it is also a very realistic industry. As long as you fail at the box office, you are nothing.

In other words, as long as you can get a high box office, then you are a god.

Xu Nan's first film "On the River on a Bright Day" achieved high box office and made him a director. Although the mainstream circles despised him and laughed at him, no one ever questioned his directorship.

Because he successfully made a movie and made money.

Although the mainstream circles despise this kind of practice of making money by touching porcelain, as long as you can make money, you are right.

The second film was a hit at the box office. Although the film's reputation was poor at the beginning, it quickly reversed.

Most people don't care how you are successful, they only know that you are successful.

As long as you succeed, everything you do is right and reasonable, no matter what means you use in the process, it is all reasonable.

Before, when people in the industry or the media called Xu Nan, most people called him the director of Pengci, and those who despised him even directly called him a director of bad movies.

But now, the media gave him a new title, Ghost Director.

No matter how much people in the circle despise and disdain Xu Nan, the success of "Captain of China" left them silent.

In this industry, everything depends on the box office.

Summit Films has been immersed in a sea of ​​joy these days.

Everyone in the company participated in the filming of the movie. According to the usual practice, after the movie is released, red envelopes will definitely be given out, and it is a big red envelope.

In addition, having such a high-grossing movie on their resumes will also have many hidden bonuses to their careers.

It's like it is easier for employees of large factories to find a job than employees of small factories.

But Xu Nan keenly noticed something was wrong.

The box office growth rate of "Captain of China" has begun to slow down, and it is gradually showing a downward trend.

For ordinary movies, it is normal for the subsequent growth rate of the box office to slow down, as long as it is maintained within a certain level.

But for fun movies like "Captain of China", the box office is a one-shot deal. If you can't squeeze out the box office to the greatest extent in the shortest possible time, the box office of this movie will definitely drop badly when the heat passes. .

The box office growth rate of "Captain of China" has slowed down, indicating that audiences have begun to experience aesthetic fatigue with this movie and related news.

This is normal, just like the Elephant family, like the space trio, at the beginning they were full of vigor and vitality, and attracted national attention.

But after a long time, the audience didn't want to watch it and began to look for new hot spots.

Netizens will always love the new and dislike the old.

Fortunately, the audience is not yet completely tired of this movie. At this time, they only need to give them a new stimulus, a new hot spot, and the growth rate of the box office can remain unchanged.

As for how to stimulate, Xu Nan had already prepared.

He immediately called Tao Heng.

"Jingle Bell"

"Jingle Bell"

The piercing phone ringing rang in the room.

Tao Heng, who was sitting stiff on the sofa like a puppet, trembled a bit, picked up the phone and glanced at it.

When he saw that it was Xu Nan's call, his body trembled, and his throat instinctively twitched, as if he recalled the strange friction feeling when the footwashing water ran across his throat.

Stomach starts to queasy.

Tao Heng immediately grabbed his phone and ran to the bathroom, throwing up into the toilet.

He didn't eat much these days, so he just spit out a little yellow sour water.

After vomiting, Tao Heng finally felt better. He looked down at the phone and found that the phone had been hung up because it hadn't been answered for too long.

He sighed.

After two days of recuperation, he had already recovered a lot, but a phone call from Xu Nan reminded him of the nightmare feeling of drinking footwashing water.

Moreover, this call is not over yet, Xu Nan will call him again soon.

Sure enough, Tao Heng's guess was correct.

A few minutes later, the phone rang again, it was Xu Nan's call.

Tao Heng sighed and connected the phone.

"What's going on, why did it take so long?" Xu Nan asked.

Tao Heng replied helplessly: "I was delayed by something just now."

Xu Nan didn't pursue this, and asked directly: "Is the video ready?"

"Filmed."

"Just send it out after the shooting is done. Right now, don't procrastinate like last time. Think about the contract you signed with me. As long as you complete this order, you will be financially free. Buy a house or a car as you like, I I will also give you a red envelope."

Xu Nan played both soft and hard ways to let Tao Heng complete his order.

Soon, the phone hung up.

Tao Heng sighed with a sad expression.

Why, why do you have to force me to go this far.

I would rather not have money than lose my integrity.

But there was no way, the contract had already been signed, so even if Tao Heng wanted to reject Xu Nan, he couldn't do it.

Moreover, if this video is sent out, it should have the opposite effect.

He was begging the audience crying bitterly. Seeing how pitiful he is, the audience should let him go.

Should be.

While Tao Heng was struggling mentally, he logged into his account and clicked to send the video he had prepared a long time ago.

On the other side, director Liu Dongdong was lying on the sofa at home with a depressed expression, like a defeated dog.

A few days ago, he was still full of fighting spirit, trying to use various means to restore the decline and bring the movie "Our 30 Days" back to life.

But now, he gave up, completely gave up.

Being told by his old fans for many years that his well-made movie is not as good as a bad movie, this heavy blow knocked him down completely and made him lose confidence.

Tired, destroy it.

If the box office of the movie falls, let it fall, he is too lazy to care so much.

A series of film promotional activities that had been prepared for a long time were also stopped.

Anyway, it's a waste of effort, so why waste energy.

Liu Dongdong has lost all energy now, and is just waiting for the movie to be released.

He now spends time at home by swiping his phone every day.

And when he was playing with his phone, Weibo reminded that Tao Heng, the blogger he followed, had updated.
