This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 362 It's all the theater's fault
Xu Nan would pay attention to domestic news, but he didn't take it to heart.

He is now in the United States, and the domestic turmoil will not affect him.

The company's peak film and television is running well, relying on the filming of Pingci, and it is very nourishing.

You can't make a lot of money, but it's okay to make a small amount of money.

There is also the female star Shi Shi who asked him when he will go back to make movies.

Xu Nan was quick to answer perfunctorily.

He is having fun in America, there is no need to go back so soon.

"Three days later, it will be the celebration banquet of "Titanic 2", remember to attend."

Lin Ziyi made a phone call, which made Xu Nan extremely helpless.

Is there any mistake, I, as a director, don't even plan to hold a celebration banquet, but your theater chain actually arranged it for me.

It's too "nice" for me.

Just kidding, of course the theater chain didn't hold the celebration banquet just because of Xu Nan's face.

The real reason is that the theaters want to demonstrate and show their strength.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xu Nan's fake movie has nothing to do with the theater.

Leaving aside the name of the legally registered movie, let’s just talk about its release. If it weren’t for the strong support of the three theaters, why would Xu Nan’s fake movie be released in a grand manner, and why would it continue to be released in the three theaters after it was revealed to be a fake movie? Screened in big theaters.

I really thought it was a mistake in the work of the three major theaters.

In fact, they did it on purpose, deliberately wanting to give Cameron a look.

They want to take this opportunity to announce one thing to all the directors in the circle, and this thing is that the entertainment circle and the theater chain are the masters.

No matter how big a director you are or how famous you are, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with theaters, let alone adjust the film's share.

Therefore, not only did they continue to release Xu Nan's films under the pretext of their work mistakes, but they also held a celebration banquet for Xu Nan and invited many people in the industry to participate.

This is completely putting Xu Nan on fire.

In fact, Xu Nan didn't want to be so high-profile at all.

He is a foreigner, and he is also the director of Shanzhai Pengci, and he made another fake movie, which is the time to keep a low profile.

But the theater didn't want him to keep a low profile, so they prepared the celebration banquet directly, and he couldn't do it if he didn't go.

People in the arena involuntarily.

Xu Nan had to go to this celebration banquet.

And the theater chain does have a reason to hold this celebration banquet.

So far, Xu Nan's "Titanic 2" has a cumulative box office of 5000 million US dollars. According to the current box office trend, breaking 8000 million is unlikely, but [-] million is still no problem.

The reason for this is because the popularity of this movie is too high.

Fake movies are so interesting, who wouldn’t want to see them with their own eyes, especially in the first few days when the theaters were packed.

The three major theaters also gave full support and provided high-standard film scheduling, which led to the high box office of this movie.

In contrast, Cameron's "Titanic 2" only had a box office of 1000 million US dollars, which can be said to have rushed to grandma's house.

In fact, Cameron is already very strong. When only 20.00% of the theaters show his movies, there are still more than 3 million box office, which fully demonstrates the quality of his movies and box office appeal.

But still lost money.

Cameron was depressed.

In fact, if the quality of his second movie is as high as the first one, even if only 20.00% of the theaters are released, he can still crush Xu Nan and complete the anti-kill.

But sadly, no.

The quality of Cameron's "Titanic 2" can only be said to be excellent, not as perfect as the first one.

Many people were not optimistic about "Titanic", but it was full of stamina, and it was released continuously for a long time, which broke the record.

"Titanic 2" doesn't have the stamina of "Titanic", and if it weren't for the true and false film incident, the film may have lower box office.

Cameron's experience reveals a cruel fact.

Without the support of the three major theaters, even if you claim to be the world's number one director, you still won't get the box office.

So, don't put on a show in front of the theaters. If you want to show off, please see what happened to Cameron.

There is a saying called killing chickens to warn monkeys, Cameron is the chicken that was killed, and the directors in the circle who are eager to renegotiate with the theaters are the monkeys who were warned.

Xu Nan is a knife, a knife for killing chickens.

On the surface, this matter was done by him alone, but in fact, the theater chain was the mastermind.

But what is speechless is that whether it is Cameron or the director, it is Xu Nan who bears the last grudge, not the cinema.

Cameron sued Xu Nan, but not the cinema.

The directors in the circle scolded Xu Nan, not the theaters.

There is no way, who is called Xu Nanruo? The big daddy dare not offend the cinema, so everyone can only spread the fire on Xu Nan, a weak foreign chicken.

Moreover, Xu Nan's income is not as much as that of the theater chain. He can only get 4% of the box office of more than 15.00 million yuan, while the theater chain has 80.00%.

Part of the reason why the theaters ranked Xu Nan's films so high was because of the box office share.

Generally speaking, the theater chain actually lost money, but not much.

With Cameron's reputation and the quality of the movie, there may be no chance of more than one billion, but it is still very possible to make a box office of [-] to [-] million.

With a 50.00% share, the theaters can get [-] to [-] million, but for Xu Nan's movies, they can only get [-] to [-] million, which is a small loss.

But it can't be calculated that way.

The theater chain suffered a small loss at the box office, but successfully deterred everyone in the industry, declaring their unique monopoly position, and preventing anyone from daring to negotiate with them for the box office share in the future.

From this point of view, theaters are making money, and they are making a lot of money.

Xu Nan actually earned more than 4 million at the box office, even with only 15.00% of the box office, he could still get 6000 to [-] million US dollars.

This is the money he makes doing dirty work for theaters.

This film cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the box office has hundreds of millions. It can be said that it has created a record of small and big.

And this record is hard to beat.

To have this box office, Cameron's appeal, the full support of the theaters, and the audience's enthusiasm for watching are all indispensable.

The right time, the right place, and the presence of everyone have created such a miracle that is small and broad.

Miracles are called miracles because they are difficult to replicate.

Believe this record, no one can break it for a long time.

And Xu Nan, who created this miracle on the bright side, naturally became the focus of attention, gaining the limelight.

It was only natural for Lin Ziyi to invite him to the celebration banquet.

After all, he made the movie, and it was also his suggestion. Most of the troubles in this situation were caused by him.

It's too late to pretend to be a white lotus now.

Even if you pretend to be a white lotus, it's useless, everyone still thinks you did it, why not attend this celebration banquet, pretend to have a good relationship with the theater, and let others know that you are not easy to mess with.
