This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 367 Whoever Believes in Me Will Become Famous

If it was in China, a movie that spoofed the founding president like this, let alone it was released, the script would not be registered, and if it was shot, it would definitely be ordered by [-], and it would be impossible to pass the review.

But in the United States, these are not problems.

Americans don't have any psychological burden on spoofing celebrities, and such movies can be released after they are made.

There are even some Americans who especially like this type of spoof movie.

Xu Nan had a premonition that the box office of this movie would not be low. At least, it would be guaranteed to make money.

If nothing else, this series of movies will become a cash cow for Nanhai Film and Television, just like the Avengers series.

When the movie becomes popular, Tesla the magnetic storm demon king, Newton the apple warrior, Edison the ray mage can all be arranged and can be filmed continuously.

The United States does have an advantage in this regard, and the country is far behind.

The script has been finalized, and the next step is the preparation work and the selection of actors.

Don't think about the protagonist, Paris Hilton, let this Bai Fumei play the leading role, which is naturally a gimmick, which is extremely convenient, not to mention that the protagonist is Washington, the founding president of the United States.

It's exciting to think about the sexual transformation of Washington.

The founding president turned out to be a beautiful girl. How could American audiences resist this divine temptation.

As for whether the American people can accept it, Xu Nan thinks it should not be a problem, and the American people have always been very tolerant in this regard.

As for other roles, you also need to choose carefully.

This time it's not a copycat movie, but an original spoof movie.

A spoof film with a poor setting and poor actors can actually be tolerated by the audience, but there is a limit to this, at least it can't be too bad to watch.

In this regard, Xu Nan has rich experience and knows how to grasp this scale.

He plans to spend $300 million on the project, with $100 million for filming and $200 million for marketing.

As long as the first film lays a sufficient foundation, subsequent films can continue to make money.

Taking a step back, even if it fails, it will only lose 300 million US dollars at most, and Xu Nan can afford it.

Moreover, the probability of losing money for this movie is very small. With the gimmick of Paris Hilton and the work of a famous director like him, even a random life documentary can make money, let alone such a novel and funny spoof. sliced.

Xu Nan's usual producer, George, is currently preparing a new film. Because this is his first time preparing a film independently, he is very cautious. He hopes to do his best in all preparations, and has no time to make a film with Xu Nan.

So Xu Nan picked a newcomer from the company, named Avi Arad, to be his producer.

This Awei is also an old man in the company and has rich work experience. In addition, the employees of the company have experience. Everyone joined hands and quickly completed the preparatory work.

Although the cost of this film is higher than that of the company's previous films, it is still much easier to prepare than large productions.

After the preliminary preparations are completed, the next step is casting.

The protagonist has already been determined, which is Paris Hilton. As for the other characters, they should be carefully chosen this time, and they should not be as perfunctory as before.

Strictly speaking, when making movies before, Xu Nan's casting was not perfunctory, and the actors in it were all very capable.

Because there are too many actors in Hollywood, countless people come here to pursue their dreams, but the opportunities here are really too few. Many actors have spent several years and cast countless times, and it is difficult to find a chance to appear on the scene.

Although Xu Nan's film is a copycat movie, it is a theater movie anyway, and it has a certain reputation. It is a piece of cake for actors who are struggling to find opportunities.

Therefore, every time a film is cast, although the casting time is not long, the actors selected are quite strong.

For this casting, Xu Nan decided that the main role should be selected from actors who have worked with him before.

On the one hand, they have good strength, on the other hand, they have had cooperation experience with Nanhai Film and Television, and they will cooperate more tacitly.

The other characters are not a big problem, the key problem is convincing Paris Hilton that she is the heart of the movie.

What Xu Nan reached with her before was just an intention, whether Paris Hilton will agree is still unknown.

But even if Paris Hilton doesn't play the role, it doesn't matter, it's just that the movie promotion is a little less gimmick, Xu Nan is still sure to rely on this movie to make money.

Of course, if you can persuade Paris Hilton to act, you still have to try your best to persuade her to act. This is a super white and rich beauty, which is very valuable to the movie.

In order to convince Paris, Xu Nan specially polished the script, and even found an American with good writing skills to write a literary script, so that Paris could understand it.

The content of professional scripts is mainly about scenes and dialogues of characters, which are not incomprehensible to professionals. Literary scripts are mainly written about plots, which are specially designed for laymen to read.

Paris Hilton came to Nanhai Film and Television, and after seeing the script, she was soon immersed in it, with a surprised and confused expression.

"Director Xu Nan, this is the movie you asked me to act in? As Washington?"

"It will be scolded."

Xu Nan smiled: "Miss Hilton"

Paris Hilton said immediately: "You can call me by my name directly."

Xu Nan nodded: "Okay Miss Paris, I admit that the characters in this movie are very subversive and challenge some people's common sense, and will they be scolded?"

"But it's a good thing for you. As long as a star in Hollywood is a little famous, he will be scolded. A star is not afraid of being scolded, even if there is no one to scold."

"This is a typical American spoof movie. I am sure that through marketing, this movie will be a big hit, and at the same time, it will also make you famous and become a superstar."

"Really?" Paris asked, she really wanted to be famous, it had almost become her obsession.

"Of course." Xu Nan nodded seriously: "Remember the actor who played Lucy in "Titanic 2" before, she is very famous now, and in China, I let a girl who is not well-known at all become a front-line actress star, and later starred in a $5000 million blockbuster."

"You should know that China's economy is not as developed as that of the United States. A big production of 5000 million US dollars is the most expensive movie ever produced in China. After a person who was an ordinary girl a year ago followed me to make a movie, Do you know the concept of directly becoming the heroine of a $5000 million production?"

"So please believe me, with so many examples ahead, why do you have any doubts?"
