This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 317 The King of the World
Xu Nan froze for a moment.

What does Cameron mean? He didn't do anything to Cameron.

Although he thought about touching Cameron, he just thought about it and hasn't implemented it yet.

Why Cameron's attitude.

"Director Cameron, what did you say?" Xu Nan asked.

Cameron raised his chin slightly: "I will never admit that Shanzhai Pengci movies are a kind of movies. Movies are an art, a noble art."

"Maybe your movie can make money, but it doesn't qualify as art."

After finishing speaking, Cameron left with his head held high. He didn't give Xu Nan a chance to explain, nor did he make things difficult for Xu Nan. He simply said a word to express his attitude.

But judging from his appearance, it seemed that he didn't regard Xu Nan as an equal conversation partner at all.

There were laughing sounds from all around, seeing Xu Nan, a foreigner, deflated, a group of people gloated at his misfortune.

It is very difficult for a foreigner, or a foreigner who started his career by relying on evil ways, to have a high status in this circle, and he can be accepted only because of the noise he made before.

The American beauty who was crazy and courteous before also left secretly, as if she was afraid of Cameron's pursuit.

Xu Nan's expression didn't change, but his mood was very unhappy.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ziyi came over to comfort her.

"Don't be angry, Cameron has this temper, and people all over the world know it."

"Let me give you an analogy. When his "Titanic" won the Oscar for Best Director, he stood on the stage, facing all the insiders, facing the audience all over the world. Do you know what he said? ?”

Without waiting for Xu Nan to answer, Lin Ziyi paused word by word: "I! I am! World! World! King!"

"It was the Oscars ceremony, and all the heavyweights in the American entertainment industry were there, and it was broadcast live globally, but Cameron still said this sentence. One can imagine how proud he is."

"Even his arrogance is not due to the success of "Titanic". Before the big ship swept the world, he was famous in the entertainment industry for his stubbornness and arrogance."

"When shooting Titanic, he asked to build a real big ship for filming because it was more realistic."

"It would cost a lot of money to do that, but at his insistence, Fox had to do it anyway."

"During filming, because of a few seconds of footage, Cameron would have to spend millions of dollars to redo all the tableware on the boat and hand-build it."

Because of a few seconds of footage, Cameron had to spend millions of dollars to redo all the tableware on the boat, and to build it by hand. In the end, all the tableware was broken. "

"Because he spent too much money filming, the producer even threatened him by jumping into the water in front of everyone on the set, but even so, Cameron still didn't change his stubborn character."

"Even Fox, the giant of Hollywood, couldn't stand his way of spending money like water on filming, and almost broke the chain of funds."

"At the most dangerous time, Fox really couldn't stand the arrogant Cameron, cut off the crew's funds directly, and planned to terminate the contract with him and let other directors shoot the movie "Titanic". Really, the situation at that time was very serious. Dangerous, Cameron was almost swept out by Fox, in that case, there would be no such big ship that rampages and sweeps the world."

In the end, Lin Ziyi concluded: "So Cameron didn't do it on purpose, he just has this kind of character, and everyone in the entertainment industry knows that not only you have been angry with him, but many people have been angry with him, even me. His anger."

Knowing that Lin Ziyi was comforting him, Xu Nan smiled lightly.

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. Since the day I entered the industry, countless people have disliked me, but so what, no matter how much they dislike me, I haven't reached where I am today."

Seeing that Xu Nan's expression didn't change, Lin Ziyi nodded, "It's great that you're doing this, and I'm worried that you won't think about it."

"How is it possible?" Xu Nan smiled, and asked casually: "By the way, you just said that you were also angry with Cameron, what's going on? How could he, the director of your theater, give you embarrassment? look."

Lin Ziyi sighed: "It's not because of "Titanic 2", this is the sequel of the big ship, with the foundation laid by the previous work, this movie is favored by everyone in the circle, and the audience in the United States is eagerly looking forward to it, eager to see it through, just like A pervert who has been abstinent for a year is like seeing a beautiful woman."

Xu Nan listened quietly, he knew that Lin Ziyi would finish the story.

Sure enough, after being silent for a while, drinking a glass of red wine to soothe her throat, Lin Ziyi continued to talk.

"It's because this movie is so popular and famous, that this guy wants to negotiate terms with our theaters and increase the movie's box office share."

"How can this work?" Lin Ziyi's delicate and charming face showed a trace of anger: "The division is a convention, it has been set long ago, and it is an unspoken rule in the circle, so why increase it?"

"No way, you've been here for so long, and you're still excluded?" Xu Nan wondered, "I remember that Paramount's "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" gave you the same conditions as the other two cinemas. How come Cameron has changed."

"It's because I didn't explain it clearly. Cameron's condition is not only aimed at me, but all theaters in the United States."

"He demanded that dozens of theaters, large and small, increase their box office share at the same time, otherwise he would refuse to release "Titanic 2"."

Lin Ziyi explained.

"So crazy, you actually want to negotiate terms with all the theaters by yourself?" Xu Nan was shocked.

In the entertainment industry, the theater chain is an absolute upstream monopoly platform, whether it is a director or a film and television company, facing the theater chain is in a weak situation.

As long as you want to release a movie, you can’t get around the theaters, no matter how big a director you are, or a powerful film and television company, as long as the theaters don’t show your movie, you have nothing to do.

Cameron actually wants to rely on the movie "Titanic" to negotiate terms with the theaters, which is really arrogant.

"The result?" Xu Nan asked.

Lin Ziyi sighed: "We're still talking, after all, this is Cameron, a sequel to Da Chuan."

Although theaters are at the top of the chain of contempt in the entertainment industry, it also depends on the situation.

Take the crew as an example. Normally, the director is the biggest in the crew, but if the director is just a novice director and the actors are big-name actors, then the actors in the crew will have more say than the director.

If it were an ordinary director, even a big director, if he dared to raise the box office share, the theaters would definitely be tough to the end, suppress this director, and let him know that the world is cruel.

But with Cameron, the result is different.
