This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 363 The Great Villain

The three major theaters jointly held a celebration banquet, and the momentum was extremely astonishing.

People with a little bit of status in the American entertainment industry all came, and the stars gathered and star-studded.

Seeing this scene, Xu Nan looked a little helpless.

Is there any mistake, the movie was made by me, and this is also the celebration banquet of my movie, I am not the protagonist?

I know that I am just a pawn, but at least it is okay to give the pawn some face.

In fact, the theaters really didn't take Xu Nan very seriously. They even cheated Cameron, let alone Xu Nan, a foreign director.

This real and fake film incident was obviously led by Xu Nan, but people in the circle knew very well that he was just a puppet standing in front of the stage, and the theater chain was the real mastermind behind the scenes.

But even if it is a puppet, it is still a bit of a deterrent in the circle.

After all, not everyone is qualified to be a theater puppet, and not everyone dares to cheat Cameron unscrupulously.

After Xu Nan entered the arena, he could often be seen looking at him with mixed disgust and awe, as if he was some heinous villain.

Especially the director, who looked at him with the most complicated eyes.

Originally, Cameron and the theaters had successfully negotiated good terms, but most directors thought that from then on, the directors would rise up and be able to negotiate a share with the theaters.

Unexpectedly, the reality was so cruel that the three theaters joined forces to push Cameron down to make an example of others.

After this incident, the director, not to mention negotiating a share with the theater, should be thankful for not being lowered.

Even if they knew that Xu Nan was just a knife promoted by the theaters, everyone's views on him were still very complicated.

Not everyone is qualified to be a theater knife.

This knife can be used to kill Cameron, and naturally it can also kill other directors.

That's why wherever Xu Nan went, there was a large open space.

Looking at it from a distance, it really looks like a terrifying demon king.

From the reactions of the people around him, Xu Nan understood that he had already made a name for himself in the American entertainment industry.

"Congratulations to Director Xu for being outstanding in the American entertainment industry. Look at the eyes of the people around you, and feel envious." Lin Ziyi walked over with a glass of red wine.

She was wearing a black dress, mysterious and noble, her flawless skin was dazzling white against the dress, her eyes were slightly narrowed, sexy and charming, and the corners of her mouth were raised in a teasing way.

Xu Nan sighed: "I think they want to kill me with their eyes."

"When the movie is released, I guess I will never be able to get the directors in the US to accept me."

Lin Ziyi smiled: "You can't let them accept you. You are a director who shoots knockoffs, who will accept you, and you are still a foreigner."

"Some people in China say that you are not worthy of being a director."

Lin Ziyi's words were very sharp, and Xu Nan couldn't refute them, but he still couldn't help muttering: "I lost a lot this time, okay, I came up with the idea, I made the movie, but I made the least amount of money, and I was also caught All American directors are jealous."

Lin Ziyi rolled her eyes: "You still have the nerve to say it? You came up with the idea. If it weren't for you, would we have done such a shameless thing?"

"The money you earn is the least. If it weren't for the cooperation of our three theater chains, you would have earned tens of millions of dollars, and you won't get much of the box office, but the copyrights are in your hands. Overseas copyrights, streaming media copyrights, and videotape copyrights , you didn’t say any of this, did you?”

"As for being hated, if you want to make money and have a good reputation, why don't you go to heaven?"

Xu Nan had nothing to say, because what Lin Ziyi said was the truth.

He can only earn tens of millions at the box office in the US, but there will be overseas box office and copyrights such as streaming media behind him, and the money will definitely not be small.

It is conservatively estimated that his income from this movie is at least [-] million US dollars.

It seems reasonable to earn so much money and bear a little criticism.

If it were someone else, who could earn [-] million US dollars, not to mention accepting criticism, even if it was a sex change, they would probably agree with it.

Even in the eyes of many people, Xu Nan's complaint is a kind of Versailles.

It would be impossible for someone else to have this kind of opportunity.

For many directors, if they are not afraid of notoriety, they are afraid of being unknown.

Just like many celebrities are not afraid of being hacked, they are afraid that no one will hack them.

Xu Nan and Lin Ziyi talked and laughed happily together. They are in a foreign country. They both come from the same place and have a cooperative relationship. The relationship is still very good.

This celebration banquet was nominally Xu Nan's celebration banquet, but in fact it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't need to socialize with others, so he was able to stand here and chat with Lin Ziyi.

While Xu Nan was chatting with Lin Ziyi, a burly man in a suit with a bald head came over.

Although this strong man looked fierce, his tone was weak.

"Hello, President Lin, I want to talk about my new movie schedule."

Lin Ziyi showed a smile: "As for the filming, of course I will try my best to provide you with a better filming, but there is a prerequisite for this, that is, there is no problem with the quality of your film."

The bald director immediately said: "President Lin, don't worry, I guarantee that my movie will be a wonderful movie and will definitely not disappoint your expectations."

Lin Ziyi smiled, didn't say much, instead introduced Xu Nan.

"This is director Michael. He made a movie called "The Lone Ranger."

"This is director Xu Nan, so I don't need to introduce him. I believe there is no American director who doesn't know him."

Xu Nan nodded towards Michael.

Emperor Cinemas not only has theaters, but also a film and television company under its umbrella, with film and television production capabilities.

This is also the reason why theaters are so strong. A theater is not just a theater, they are also a film and television production company, or an artist agency. The three major theaters are each a monopoly giant in the entertainment industry.

Michael should be the director of Emperor Cinemas, and he made a movie that he wants to release in theaters.

However, even if it is a movie from the same company, it is necessary to fight for the film schedule when it is released. If the quality is not good, no audience will watch the movie, and it may have to be released after a few days of release.

In addition, the film schedule at the beginning of the film is also very important. If the early film schedule is not high and the film quality is good, the audience will not be able to watch it, and part of the box office will be lost.

This Michael probably came to Lin Ziyi because of the filming schedule. He wanted Lin Ziyi to give him a higher filming schedule, which would significantly boost the box office of the movie.

But Lin Ziyi is not so easy to fool, it depends on the quality of the movie to arrange the filming.

Michael glanced at Xu Nan sideways, and said indifferently, "Of course I've heard of bad movie directors from China."

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have been ready long ago to imitate my "Lone Ranger"."
