This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 284

At the beginning of the movie, the logo of Nanhai Film and Television is not very exquisite, but it is enough to impress the audience and let them remember it.

Then there is the feature film of the movie.

The plot of "Atlantic Rim" is very simple, and it is also a story of mechs fighting monsters.

But the reason for the monsters in "Atlantic Rim" is completely different from that in "Pacific Rim".

In "Pacific Rim", monsters appear because of the intersection of parallel universes. In "Atlantic Rim", it is because people on earth do not pay enough attention to environmental protection, and wantonly discharge pollution into the ocean, which leads to the appearance of monsters and frequent ashore to attack humans.

Well, very politically correct.

In order to fight against the large number of monsters in the ocean, human beings have developed mechas, and soldiers in the army drive mechas to fight against monsters.

There are three protagonists in "Atlantic Rim", namely the woman Xiaomei, the black Dazhuang, and the white man Dabai. The three of them are good friends and members of a mecha team, and they often fight against monsters together.

Well, it's still politically correct, and there are all colors and genders.

On this day, the Ministry of National Defense received a report that a monster had landed and attacked a human city, so he ordered the protagonist's team to dispatch to drive the mech against the monster.

When fighting the monster, because the monster escaped into the deep sea cunningly, our protagonist Xiaomei ignored the combat regulations and the dissuasion of her comrades, and followed into the deep sea.

As a result, there were several monsters in the deep sea. The protagonist Xiaomei was accidentally surrounded by monsters. Her superiors ordered her to come back quickly, but Xiaomei thought that she could destroy the monsters because she had mastered special mecha combat skills, was powerful and confident. Monsters can be defeated.

But unexpectedly, there are a lot of monsters, and they are extremely cunning. With a tacit cooperation, Xiaomei not only failed to destroy the monsters, but was injured herself, and her mecha was also damaged, and she was in danger.

Fortunately, at this time, her teammates Da Zhuang and Da Bai rushed over, tried their best to rescue Xiao Mei, and escaped from the siege of monsters.

After she came back, Xiaomei was criticized and felt depressed and unhappy. Teammates Dazhuang and Dabai tried their best to comfort her and let her not be sad.

The relationship between the three is very good, and the friendship is deep. With the company of her teammates, Xiaomei finally came out of her disappointment.

But at this time, a large group of monsters suddenly appeared on the land and started killing in the capital. The Ministry of National Defense urgently ordered a team to dispatch to fight against the monsters and protect the residents.

The team is dispatched, but the number of monsters is too many, even if they try their best, they can't fight.

At this time, the Ministry of National Defense decided to use nuclear bombs, even if it would cause heavy casualties.

But once the nuclear bomb is used, the city will definitely be destroyed, and it will inevitably cause extremely heavy casualties. At this critical moment, our protagonist Xiaomei decides to use her special mech combat skills to defeat the monsters and save the city.

Unexpectedly, the Ministry of National Defense didn't trust the protagonist's team, and didn't think they could defeat the monsters, so they launched a nuclear bomb directly, and the situation was at stake.

At the critical moment, Xiaomei's teammates Da Zhuang and Dabai drove the mecha together to hug the nuclear bomb and sent it to outer space. Our Xiaomei also used special mecha combat skills to send the monsters one by one to space. They were destroyed by nuclear bombs.

In this way, the protagonist's team defeated the monster again, saved the city, and at the same time saved mankind.

The plot of "Pacific Rim" can be said to be simple and crude. It is a simple setting of mechs fighting monsters, and then a plot that first suppresses and then rises, and finally returns to the old routine of the protagonist saving the world.

The audience of the plot must be able to understand it, as long as there is no problem with IQ, anyone can understand it.

But this quality.
The representatives of the theaters all had solemn expressions, and some of them even showed expressions of lovelessness.

After all, "Atlantic Rim" is a copycat film, and the extremely low production cost ensures that even if the plot of this film is extremely exquisite, it will not be able to produce a good film effect in the conventional perception of the public.

This is a movie with very distinctive features, like bean juice and canned herring. Some people definitely like it, and some people even love it crazy, but most people will only think it is a dark dish.

The representatives of theater chains who watch movies are in the category of most people. They are simply suffering from torture when they watch this movie. The poor service and special effects make them doubt life.

If other people showed such a poor quality movie to them, these theater representatives would definitely say no, they would never let this movie be shown in theaters, because it would be disrespectful to the audience.

But this director is Xu Nan, and it is still the movie of Pengci's "Pacific Rim", so you have to think about it carefully.

Lin Ziyi watched the movie carefully the whole time. She didn't know if there was a filter or what, but she still thought the movie was quite interesting.

Fu Huadao is really bad. Let’s take the Ministry of National Defense as an example. In an empty room, several people are sitting at a table and arguing. It looks like a modified classroom.

And the special effects are no longer Wumao special effects. To say they are Wumao special effects is an insult to Wumao special effects.

But inexplicably, she is very happy to watch, as long as you accept the fact that this movie sucks, you can discover a new world.

Well, she fell into the trap.

However, there are very few people who have successfully entered the pit like Lin Ziyi and can appreciate the excellence of this movie.

Representatives of most theater chains showed an impatient look.

"Hold your fists together, Director Xu Nan, we won't let this movie be released in our theaters. In my opinion, this movie shouldn't have been made at all."

"Unfortunately, this movie failed to meet our theater release requirements, and I look forward to your next movie."

The other two of the three major cinema companies in the United States decisively rejected Xu Nan's request for a screening, even if Xu Nan was willing to increase the share, it was useless.

Xu Nan immediately said: "Maybe my movie does not conform to the public's aesthetics, but at least it can enrich the diversity of movies in theaters and provide audiences with different choices."

The representatives of the two theater companies were thoughtful, but their decision could not be changed by Xu Nan's words. In the end, they still did not agree to Xu Nan's request for release.

Afterwards, the representatives of the two theaters left in a hurry, as if someone was chasing them with a gun.

Fortunately, some other small and medium theaters are not like these two large theaters. They do not refuse to release the movie "Atlantic Rim", but Xu Nan has to make concessions in terms of share, and it is a large amount. Concede, or they'd rather not show it.

For this, Xu Nan had long been prepared.

The quality of the movie is there, and it is impossible to conquer theaters and audiences with quality. In this case, the only way to greatly reduce the share is to exchange for the release of theaters.

It took a while, and Xu Nan finally negotiated the share ratio with a large number of small and medium-sized cinemas. In the end, only the Emperor Cinemas remained.

There is nothing to talk about with Lin Ziyi, the specific number of splits has been discussed long ago, the only difference is the arrangement of the film.

Even with Xu Nan's 30.00% shares, it is impossible for Lin Ziyi to arrange too many films.

Even if it is the same company, sometimes the interests of two departments are inconsistent, let alone two companies.

"I will try my best to give as much as possible for filming, but you also know the quality of your film, so it is impossible to give too much." Lin Ziyi said with a light sip of coffee.

Lin Ziyi will give as many films as possible, but this is without affecting the interests of the theaters.

In any case, in her heart, the interests of the theater chain came first, and the interests of Nanhai Film and Television came second.

Xu Nan nodded slightly and had no opinion.

He can accept this result. After all, it is a movie made at a very low cost. It is enough to make money at the box office. To make money, it is enough to rely on streaming media copyright, video tape copyright and overseas copyright.

"By the way, are you sure you want the movie to be released ten days before "Pacific Rim", isn't the last movie "The Age of the Hobbit" only one day earlier than "The Hobbit"?" Lin Ziyi asked.

The release date of "Atlantic Rim" was set by Xu Nan ten days before the release of Pacific Rim, a full nine days earlier than last time. Lin Ziyi didn't quite understand this arrangement.

"The last time The Hobbit was deliberately scheduled to be released just one day earlier than The Hobbit in order to confuse audiences and studios into thinking it was a movie."

"But this trick can only be used once, and the audience and film producers will not be fooled the second time. It is better to let the movie be released earlier."

"Generally speaking, the few days before the film's release is the time when the producer's publicity is the strongest. The first ten days of release can take advantage of their publicity to increase the film's box office."

Xu Nan explained seriously.

It was released a few days earlier than the original movie, which was his experience in China. With this arrangement, the Shanzhai Pengci movie had the highest box office.

Lin Ziyi got it right: "Propaganda also touches porcelain, right?"

It is conceivable that when Warner Corporation spent a lot of money to promote the movie "Pacific Rim", some people would definitely think of the porcelain movie "Atlantic Rim".

Even if you can't remember it, reporters and the media will let the audience know the existence of this Porcelain movie.

After all, the media and reporters also need news to attract audiences, so of course they let go of such a wonderful news material.

As long as relevant news appeared, these reporters and media would act as free film propagandists, promoting the film for Xu Nan.

As long as enough people know about this movie, there will definitely be people who choose to watch "Atlantic Rim" out of curiosity.

Don't doubt, there is really no shortage of idle people in this world. Shanzhai Touching Ceramics will dissuade some people, but it will also attract some people.

Xu Nan nodded. It was indeed a promotion of Pengci, all aspects of Pengci.

"By the way, I think your movie is a bit similar to "Pacific Rim", so it won't cause disputes?" Lin Ziyi asked again: "The consequences of plagiarism in the United States are very serious, don't capsize in the gutter. "

Xu Nan smiled: "Don't worry, I have rich experience in this field, and it is absolutely impossible for me to plagiarize. Even if Warner sues me, I am not afraid, and the final result is just giving me heat for nothing."

Lin Ziyi couldn't help but rolled her eyes.

Worrying about this guy for nothing.

Also, is this something to be proud of?
