This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 243 Going to the United States to Shoot Counterfeit Ceramics

After returning, Xu Nan checked the information overnight to confirm that his thoughts were correct.

There is no company like Sanctuary Films in the United States, and there is no movie type like Shanzhai Pengcihua.

It was an untapped market that urgently needed his development.

You must go quickly, if you go late, you will lose your chance.

Anyway, he doesn't have much work in the company recently, so it's almost the same as without him.

The Shanzhai Pengci Film Company is still making pictures, but he can't continue to make Shanzhai Pengci films, otherwise his reputation will really rot.

Making a good movie takes time to conceive and perfect.

After "Spider-Man" was released, he had a long period of vacancy.

This time must be used wisely.

The point is that the country of the United States earns US dollars.

That's knife music.

It took some time to go through the relevant procedures, and Xu Nan directly booked the ticket without waiting any longer.

The movie "Spider-Man" was released, with a total box office of more than one billion and three million, breaking through the line of one billion.

Although it had been expected, people in the circle could only remain silent after seeing this result.

There are a total of four domestically produced movies with a box office of over one billion, and Xu Nan made two of them alone, accounting for half of the country.

Any slander and contempt are overshadowed by this dazzling box office performance.

But at any time, there is no shortage of sour people.

Some insiders deliberately belittled.

"Xu Nan's two movies broke one billion. I admit that he is very good, but that is mainly because the market has expanded."

"The previous movies were much better than him, and the highest box office was only [-] to [-] million. Why, it's not because the market limit is there."

"Xu Nan's box office broke one billion, mainly because he encountered a good time and the market expanded, so his results are so good."

"Look, there will only be more and more movies with a box office of more than one billion in the future. Xu Nan continues to make this kind of movie, and sooner or later it will hit the street."

"To put it bluntly, any big director making a movie now will have a box office of one billion at the beginning."

The sourness turned sour, but he also told some of the truth.

The reason why Xu Nan's box office broke one billion for two consecutive movies is that it was indeed a good time.

The market for domestic films is expanding, and the market is becoming more and more prosperous.

Thanks to the stimulation of Xu Nan's success, more and more funds began to pour into this industry, and a large number of film crews were established in a short time.

The above is also happy to see this situation, and has issued some policy encouragement.

Especially those big directors, who are quite favored by capital, as long as they have an idea, some people dare to invest money, even without reading the script.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Yange was going to make a big-budget movie, and it was a Sino-US co-production. The news instantly detonated the entire entertainment circle.

I heard that this movie will not only be screened in China, but will also be screened in the United States at the same time. The protagonist in it will invite the famous Hollywood actor, and the special effects team will also be specially invited from Hollywood.

Zhang Yange himself is a famous director. He once won the Palme d'Or, and with Hollywood special effects, it's like adding wings to a tiger.

The domestic plot, coupled with Hollywood special effects, is like a nuclear bomb in the entertainment industry.

This movie, which is sure to be a smash hit, definitely has the potential to break box office records.

The entire entertainment circle became restless because of this news.

In comparison, the fact that Xu Nan went to the United States to make a movie was not at all eye-catching, and few people in the circle knew about it.

Of course, there were also some people who offered money and wanted to cooperate with him, but they were all rejected.

Peak Film and Television does not need a partner for the time being, because the movies they make are sure to make a profit, and they don't need to find others to invest in order to spread the risk.

Xu Nan's coming to the United States did not alarm anyone, nor did it attract the attention of others.

In China, he is a well-known director, but in the United States, few people know.

To Americans, he is a nobody.

Huaxia's great director?
Sorry, we don't even know where Huaxia is.

Xu Nan didn't care about this, it would be better if the American people didn't know him, it would be more convenient.

In the first week of coming to the United States, he didn't do anything, and locked himself in the room directly to learn about the entertainment industry in the United States.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles.

To conquer a place, you must first understand it.

Thanks to his good English level, Xu Nan collected information very smoothly.

But when he really understood the specific situation of the US entertainment industry, he immediately felt tricky.

The situation of the American entertainment industry in this parallel world is very different from the previous life.

It is not a problem to make a movie, nor is it a problem to release it. The problem lies in the theaters.

There are a lot of domestic cinema companies, each of which is more competitive than the other, resulting in a high voice for film and television companies.

But the United States is not the case. The three major theater companies here occupy [-]% of the market share. If you want to make fake ceramics, the theaters cannot get around the hurdle.

Without the nod of the theater, there is no way for Ni's movie to be released.

In contrast, other issues such as review and project approval are small problems that can be easily resolved.

The key to the problem is to get the theaters.

Unfortunately, theaters are difficult to handle.

Because in the United States, the theater chain is the upstream monopoly platform of Chiguoguo, and film and television companies want to release movies, they must get the nod of the theater chain.

If a movie wants to be released and get the highest ranking, it must please the theaters.

Let's put it this way, in order to get the highest ranking for most popular movies, they will take the initiative to give shares to theaters.

In the United States, theater chains are no longer just upstream monopoly platforms, they have also intervened in film and television production, artist brokerage and other businesses. They are well-established industry giants, and the entire entertainment industry revolves around them.

The premise of the success of Shanzhai Pengci Films is that Pengci is famous for its big-budget movies, only in this way will people watch it.

But for famous big-budget movies, theaters have a share in it. If you touch a movie like Cici, it is impossible for the theaters to let you show it.

But if you don't touch the movie produced by Cida, the audience won't watch it.

Celebrity scandals will be observed by the media with a magnifying glass at 360 degrees, while ordinary people's scandals will be ignored by the media.

The essence of Shanzhai Pengci Movies lies in the blockbuster Pengci movies. If it were ordinary Pengci movies, the audience would not watch them at all.

But the theaters of blockbusters have their shares. If you touch a copycat movie of a blockbuster, how can the theaters let you release it?

This is tantamount to grabbing food from their bowls, and it would be good if they don't give you a shot.

If you want a copycat film to be released, you must get the consent of the cinema.

Theater chains have a share in big-budget movies, and it is impossible to let copycat movies be released.

This is a dead end.

No wonder there are no copycats here in the United States. It turns out that the environment here does not allow this kind of movie to be born.

He thought there was a blank market here, but in fact there was no market at all.

Difficult.
