This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 279 You Are My Most Admired Director

There will be several kinds of movie viewings. The film and television company will organize internal executives to watch the newly produced movies together, and then determine how much publicity funds will be invested. This is an internal movie viewing meeting.

There are also film and television companies that invite people from the distribution company to watch movies together, and let the distribution company see the quality of the movie port and decide whether to release it. This is also a kind of movie watching meeting.

The film festival actively invites buyers from all over the world to watch movies together. This is still a kind of movie viewing.

What Lin Ziyi invited Xu Nan to participate in was a theater screening, which was organized by Warner Corporation and invited leaders or executives from large and small theaters in the United States to participate.

Here, the theater chain can intuitively feel the quality of the movie and determine how many movies to arrange when the movie is released.

There are several movies released in the United States every day, and the theaters are not doing charity. They must carefully arrange the film schedule to ensure that the audience can see the most attractive movies and ensure the flow of people in the theater.

However, for a movie made by a big company like Warner, or a famous big production like "Pacific Rim", even if the quality is really rubbish, the theater chain will guarantee a certain amount of filming.

Of course, if the quality is good, the theater will also give a higher schedule as appropriate, which is the meaning of the screening.

"By the way, the infrastructure here in the United States is very mediocre, and it is difficult to move without a car. After all, I have made so much money. Is it so difficult to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a car?"

On the highway, Lin Ziyi couldn't help complaining while driving.

Xu Nan, a famous director, actually wanted to rub her car, which made her speechless.

If it weren't for the talent of this guy, I really want to kick him down.

In the co-pilot position, Xu Nan lay down close to Ge You: "I won't be in the United States for long, I can just rent a car, there is no need to buy a car."

"Besides, don't you still have this?"

Lin Ziyi rolled her eyes and said nothing.

For talented people, people always have a higher tolerance, let alone Xu Nan can make her money.

Maybe it's just a little quirk of the famous director.

Lin Ziyi has a temperament that can't be idle, and continued to chat: "Then how long do you plan to stay in the United States?"

Xu Nan said: "I'll go back when the film and television company is on the right track. I don't think it will take long, maybe half a year at most."

"And then?" Lin Ziyi asked.

"What then?"

"Then what do you go back to do?"

"Make a movie, you're asking that, what would I do if I'm not making a movie as a director?" Xu Nan rolled his eyes.

"Continue to make your bad movies?" Lin Ziyi teased.

"Who said I made a bad movie? Strictly speaking, I made a bad movie. Do you think the movie is bad because you don't know how to appreciate it?" Xu Nan was angry.

The audience is always so vulgar, they rashly define and label something without a deep understanding of it.

"Okay, good, good, good, good, not bad, then you plan to keep making good movies, have you never thought of making a really wonderful movie, like those great directors?" Get entangled in meaningless titles.

"Why not? Do those big directors earn more than me?" Xu Nan asked back.

Lin Ziyi shook her head: "Money doesn't mean everything. The influence of a really famous director cannot be achieved by relying solely on money. If you keep making movies like this, you will definitely make money, but your social status will never improve."

"Money is not important. Only a rich second generation like you is qualified to say it. In fact, money is very important. Without money, nothing can be done." Xu Nan looked forward, his eyes were empty: "Besides, those big productions you mentioned It's not that I can't make wonderful movies, it's just that I don't want to make them for the time being."

"Pfft." Lin Ziyi smiled brightly.

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Nan's eyes widened.

Lin Ziyi has a pretty face, and she looks even better when she smiles, bright and charming, but why is this smile so annoying.

"I remembered something happy." Lin Ziyi shrugged: "I once saw a joke, a man said, I didn't last for less than 10 minutes, but because I didn't want you to be too tired, so I only took 1 minute."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Lin Ziyi laughed even louder.

Xu Nan curled his lips: "Okay, you can laugh if you want, and when I become a great director, I will return this joke to you intact."

"Well, I believe in your talent, that day will not be too far away." Lin Ziyi nodded solemnly: "I should be able to see it when I die of old age."

"Hahahaha." Lin Ziyi couldn't help laughing again.

While joking, the two came to a theater, which was also the place where Warner held a screening.

At the door, Benjamin, the vice president of Warner Bros. and the director of "Pacific Rim", was welcoming the theater representatives at the door.

Lin Ziyi got out of the car, her long hair was naturally pouring down her back, her eyes were bright, her facial features were absolutely gorgeous, and her black suit gave her an amazing aura.

Like a queen descending.

"Hello, President Lin."

Warner's vice president and Benjamin greeted her with smiles. The attitude of the two big figures in the industry was almost humble in front of Lin Ziyi.

"Hello."

Lin Ziyi said hello, but her attitude was very cold.

What's the use of these two people's good attitudes, the key benefits are not given at all, if she doesn't want to tear her face, she really doesn't want to come to this movie meeting.

"Hello, Director Benjamin, I'm your fan. I've seen several of your movies. They are all very exciting and they are the guiding light in my life."

Xu Nan held the hand of Benjamin from "Pacific Rim" very enthusiastically.

Benjamin's hair was very thin, almost bald, and his face was full of flesh. He looked more like a gang member than a director.

But in fact, he is a famous director in the United States. He has made several films, and one of them has a box office of more than [-] million US dollars.

Seeing Xu Nan's enthusiasm, Benjamin felt a little happy.

This kind of flattery has been heard countless times since he became famous, but this time it is different.

Xu Nan came here with Lin Ziyi, obviously a senior executive of the Emperor Cinemas.

There are innumerable benefits that a senior executive of a theater chain admires him so much. Among other things, as far as the film arrangement of the theater chain is concerned, with such a senior executive of the theater chain who admires him, why is he still worried about the film arrangement problem? .

Before that, Benjamin heard about the conflict between Warner and Emperor Cinemas, and he was more worried that Emperor Cinemas would secretly reduce the film schedule of the movie "Pacific Rim".

Although he is a famous director, he still doesn't look good enough in front of the two entertainment giants.

But seeing Xu Nan adore him so much now, Benjamin's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he chatted with Xu Nan with a bright smile.

Chatting and chatting, Benjamin felt like discovering a treasure.

This executive of Emperor Cinemas knows movies well!
He actually knows the relationship between the lens and space! !
God, he is my bosom friend! ! !
Benjamin and Xu Nanyue chatted more and more happily. The two of them seemed like friends for many years, and they laughed heartily from time to time.

Warner's vice president and Lin Ziyi both looked at this scene with strange eyes.

After a long time, Warner's vice president finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Director Benjamin, the movie is about to start."

Hearing these words, Benjamin knew that this chat was coming to an end, and for the first time, he actually felt a sense of reluctance.

It was a pleasure chatting with this Imperial Cinema executive.

"Xu, you have an extraordinary understanding of movies, and I even think you are more suitable as a director than me."

"Unfortunately, the movie will be released soon, so let's exchange a contact information and talk about it after the movie is over."

Benjamin took the initiative to exchange contact information with Xu Nan, and it was obvious that he still had more to say.

If it wasn't for the upcoming movie, he and Xu Nan could continue chatting.

Xu Nan's expression was similar to his, with light in his eyes: "Director Benjamin, in my heart you are the best director in the world. I believe your new work "Pacific Rim" must be a wonderful work."

"Hahahaha." Benjamin laughed happily: "Believe me, "Pacific Rim" will not disappoint you. This is a wonderful commercial special effects production that will definitely drive the audience crazy."

After exchanging contact information, Xu Nan and Benjamin reluctantly bid farewell.

When Lin Ziyi and Xu Nan disappeared from sight, the vice president of Warner finally said, "Benjamin, why did you chat with Xu so happily?"

Even though Xu Nan was gone, Benjamin still had a smile on his face. It was the happy smile when he met his confidant.

"Don't you think he's very funny and humorous? Really, if it wasn't because I'm married, I even think I've met my soul mate." Benjamin smiled.

The vice president of Warner couldn't help twitching: "Do you know his identity?"

Benjamin nodded: "Of course, he is a member of Imperial Cinemas, and maintaining a good relationship with him will help us improve the schedule of "Pacific Rim" in Imperial Cinemas."

"I'm here for work, you should be able to understand me."

The vice president of Warner couldn't hold back anymore: "No, no, no, he is not an executive of Emperor Cinemas. He is the director of "The Age of the Hobbit".

"Benjamin, you were tricked by him."

bang.

a bolt from the blue.

Benjamin showed an expression of disbelief like a fool.

I thought we were friends and confidants, but I didn't expect you to have ulterior motives.

He felt a pain in his heart, as if his wife had been robbed, sour and unspeakable.

"So, this is why Xu came to watch the movie." Benjamin said with difficulty, thinking of Xu Nan chatting with him just now, it felt like Xiao Feng knew the pain of his life experience.

The vice president of Warner nodded solemnly: "If I guess correctly, his purpose is very likely to want to touch our movie, just like "The Hobbit Age" touched "The Hobbit"."

"This should be the meaning of Lin Ziyi from Emperor Cinemas."

The vice president had a serious expression on his face. He knew that if his company didn't give the Emperor Cinemas a share, Lin Ziyi would definitely counter it.

But at most, he thought that Lin Ziyi would play tricks on arranging the film, but what he didn't expect was that she brought Xu Nan here.

This move was both unexpected and a bit disgusting.
