This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 323 Too Shameless
After a long time, Lin Ziyi shook her head, looked at Xu Nan and said seriously: "You are breaking the law, you only need to touch porcelain, and nothing else matters."

"Don't worry, I'm not breaking the law." Xu Nan took out the film and television adaptation rights documents of Titanic and Titanic 2 that he had prepared a long time ago.

"I was already prepared."

"What do you mean?" Lin Ziyi took the document with a puzzled look on her face.

"When Cameron made the movie, he didn't even get the film and television adaptation rights from the shipyard. Strictly speaking, he was the one who broke the law."

"And the movies I made were authorized."

Xu Nan explained.

Lin Ziyi had a confused expression on her face: "Is there such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it?"

As an insider, Lin Ziyi knew about the concept of film and television adaptation rights, but this was the first time she had heard of Chuan's film and television adaptation rights.

"Whether there is or not, now there is." Xu Nan explained seriously: "With this document, there is room for wrangling. If Cameron sues me for infringement, I can use this document to explain that I have not infringed." , he is the one who really violated the rights."

"This is a messy account. If you want to get a real result, you won't be able to do it in one or two years. In the end, it may even go to the Supreme Court of the United States and let the judges decide."

"Taking a step back, even if I really lose the lawsuit, so what? It's nothing more than changing my name and compensating for some of the losses. How much money can I lose?"

"Not to mention that I can't lose the case. With this document in hand, Cameron is the one who will lose the case."

Lin Ziyi gasped, and looked at Xu Nan with mixed eyes of shock, admiration, and contempt.

"You're too shameless."

She never thought that Xu Nan could do this.

Even if Cameron is very arrogant, all she wants is to use the counterfeit tiles to disgust Cameron.

But Xu Nan is going to completely disgust Cameron to death.

For this reason, he has even thought about what to do in the lawsuit. This is going to the direction of offending Cameron to death, and he will never return.

Think about it, after Cameron found out that he had been cheated, he angrily wanted to file a lawsuit to seek justice, but Xu Nan took out a document and said that I was the one who wanted justice.

So exciting.

So shameless.

Too shameless.

Lin Ziyi felt a little excited.

If Xu Nan's plan is really implemented, this matter will definitely be recorded in film history and become famous all over the world.

Cameron, an arrogant guy, will be reduced to a laughing stock.

This is equivalent to finding a wife on a blind date, you and me, talking about love, falling in love with each other, and then when you get married, you lift the hijab to see that it is not the person who was on the blind date at all, but a big ugly person. Compare.

Then the big clown took out his ID card, you mistook the person, I am the right one, the previous one was just an actor.

Difficult to distinguish between true and false, illusion and reality are intertwined, complicated to the point of explosion.

The more she thought about it, the more fun Lin Ziyi found it. She swung her fist vigorously and said passionately, "It's done."

"This guy Cameron, his nostrils are almost turned upside down, and he doesn't pay attention to our theater at all."

"Since this is the case, then I will give him a hard time and let him know that the theater line is not something he can control alone as a director."

Xu Nan showed a treacherous smile: "That's right, the theater is the big daddy, when is it the director's turn to dictate?"

"Cameron is very arrogant, isn't he supercilious and looks down on everyone? If that's the case, then let's replace him with a civet cat and let him know that there are some people he can't offend."

"Take your expression off, or the police will arrest you as a scoundrel." Lin Ziyi gave Xu Nan a sideways look.

Damn, aren't you also an accomplice? What right do you have to accuse me? Xu Nan's face returned to calm: "The key to this matter lies in the cooperation of the theaters. I can't do it alone, I can only rely on you."

Lin Ziyi nodded: "Don't worry, I had dinner with the presidents of AMC Cinemas and Disney Cinemas, and the relationship is not bad."

"They have long been dissatisfied with Cameron's arrogance. If there is a chance to embarrass Cameron, I believe they will not refuse."

"But there is one thing you have to be prepared for. In terms of box office sharing, their conditions may be very harsh. After all, you are not Cameron."

If Xu Nan really followed what Xu Nan said, the theaters would definitely suffer some controversy and attacks, so Xu Nan had to make concessions in terms of box office share and let the theaters make money, so that they would cooperate.

Xu Nan has long been mentally prepared for this: "The box office share doesn't matter, even if it only needs [-]% of the box office, I can accept it, but if I can talk about it a little higher, I should try to make it as high as possible. Don't forget, Emperor Cinemas has a presence in Nanhai Film and Television. Shares, you can also share some of the money I earn."

Assuming that the theaters agree with his plan, then the audience attracted by the sequels of Cameron and the big boat will see his movies.

If he remembers correctly, the first-day box office record in the United States was more than 1 million U.S. dollars, created by the movie Star Wars.

If the plan is successful, maybe he may also set a box office record. Even if it doesn't work, the single-day box office will be at least tens of millions of dollars, and the total box office will be at least over [-] million.

And his movie cost only a million dollars.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if the box office share is low. The key is to let the theaters replace Cameron's movies with his movies. As long as this can be done, making money is not a problem at all.

Lin Ziyi nodded: "I will try my best to talk about it as high as possible, but don't have too much hope. If there are not enough benefits, the theater will not cooperate."

"I can understand, it's up to you next," Xu Nan said.

Lin Ziyi said: "I will help you try my best to facilitate this matter, but I can't guarantee whether it will be successful or not. Please contact me by phone."

"Actually, if it doesn't succeed, there is a compromise." Xu Nan suggested: "My movie name can be called "Titanic 2" or "Titanic 20", and the theaters can still treat my movie as a movie. When Cameron’s movie was played, it was wrong.”

"Oh." Lin Ziyi rolled her eyes.

how can that be.

If they did what Xu Nan said, the theater chain would be responsible for it.

In comparison, it is more reliable to let Xu Nan's movie name be the same as Cameron, so that it is convenient to shirk responsibility.

What, you say we didn't follow the contract?

Wait, there are two movies called "Titanic 2", are you sure this contract counts?
Lin Ziyi seriously warned: "This matter is of great importance. You should keep it secret. If it is leaked out, you will not be able to achieve the desired effect."

Xu Nandao: "Don't worry, only George and I know about this matter on my side, just don't leak the secret."

Lin Ziyi said: "Then you can also rest assured that I will not leak the secret."

After deciding to put Cameron together, Lin Ziyi acted quickly and took the initiative to find the president of AMC theaters and the president of Disney theaters.

In the previous life, Disney was a Hollywood film and television giant in the United States. In this life, Disney is not only a Hollywood film and television giant, but also the number one theater chain in the United States.

Disney theaters, Emperor theaters, and AMC theaters, these three theaters occupy 80.00% of the market in the United States. As long as they reach an agreement, many things will be easy to handle.

Like Lin Ziyi, the president of Disney Cinemas and the president of AMC Theaters are equally dissatisfied with Cameron's arrogance and the new sharing plan proposed.

The box office share is a convention, and it has been decided long ago. Cameron wants to increase the box office share, which is tantamount to cutting them at a vital point, and no one can bear it.

It's nothing to increase the box office share of the movie "Titanic 2", but what if other directors follow suit and ask for an increase in the box office share? Do theaters have to agree to their request?
how can that be!

Therefore, it has become the consensus of the theaters to press Cameron down.

Even, if Cameron does not compromise, it is really possible that the theaters will not release his movie, so that Cameron’s masterpiece, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars and took several years to complete, can only be seen in small theaters. and streaming platforms.

However, the prerequisite for this to be achieved is that the theater chains must unite, at least the three major theater chains must unite.

Otherwise, if this theater chain decides not to show Cameron's movie, but other theater chains show it, then the theater chain that does not show the movie will suffer losses.

Based on this, the presidents of Disney Cinemas and AMC Cinemas have long wanted to talk to the bosses of the other two cinemas to determine the principle of consistent offense and defense, so as not to be defeated by Cameron and take advantage of each other.

Lin Ziyi proposed to meet at this time, just in line with their wishes.

After meeting the two presidents, Lin Ziyi directly stated Xu Nan's plan, and suggested that the three major theaters give Cameron a powerful look.

Seeing that this was almost a plan to kill Cameron, the directors of the two theaters were stunned by Xu Nan's imagination.

How could it be so?

True and false movie!

After careful consideration, the presidents of the two theaters agreed to this plan.

Cameron is just too arrogant and too demanding.

If he only increased the box office share by 50.00%, the theaters could barely tolerate it, but what he asked for was [-]% of the box office share, which was simply poking at the lungs of the theaters.

The consequences of offending theater chains, a monopoly giant in the entertainment industry, are horrific. No director, not even Cameron, can bear it.

Therefore, he was boycotted by the three major movie theaters and decided to use him as an example to let the remaining directors know that the movie theaters are not something they can handle.

Lin Ziyi discussed with the president of Disney Cinemas and AMC Cinemas for a long time, and decided to implement Xu Nan's plan, to cheat the sky, and replace the civet cat with the prince.

Of course, Xu Nan also has to pay the price.

First of all, Cameron's anger is borne by him, and then the crucial box office is divided.

The president of Disney theaters and the president of AMC theaters demanded an extremely demanding box office share.

Theater chains and theaters add up to 80.00% five, Xu Nan can only divide 15.00%.

Although she felt a little harsh, Lin Ziyi agreed on Xu Nan's behalf.

Even if there is only 15.00% of the box office share, it can still make money, so why not agree.

In this way, the true and false movie incident that was recorded in the global film history and shocked the world began.
