This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 375
Seeing Michael's unhappy expression, the producer didn't care.

The United States is a producer-responsible system. Strictly speaking, he is the leader of this movie. Even if Michael is the director, he doesn't have to be afraid.

The producer explained the reason: "Director Michael, you have also seen that the current Internet public opinion is very unfavorable to us, and the theaters have even lowered our film schedule because of this."

"If we want to reverse the adverse effects, we must resort to unique skills."

"I analyzed it. There are two main reasons for the poor response to the movie. One is the so-called Xu Nan's Law, and the other is Jerry Brusheimer's sexual assault scandal."

"We can't interfere with Jerry Brusheimer's sexual assault, but we can change Xu Nan's Law."

"Didn't the netizens say that all the movies that Xu Nan touches are good movies, so we let Xu Nan touch our movies. It just so happens that he and we are members of a group, and this matter is easy to operate."

"When this news is revealed, we can take the opportunity to hype and divert the audience's attention, and even put "The Lone Ranger" alongside "Titanic 2", "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" and "Pacific Rim", Make audiences curious about our films."

"Letting Xu Nan touch porcelain will benefit us too much, why don't we do it."

Michael hesitated: "But, Xu Nan once publicly insulted me, and I went to ask him to touch porcelain, which is too embarrassing."

He also thinks this move is good, but the point is that it is very embarrassing.

At any rate, he is also a great director. If he took the initiative to invite people to touch porcelain, it would not sound good to spread the word.

The producer immediately said: "Michael, if the movie fails, your career will fall into a trough, and you will be even more ashamed, and you will lose your dignity, but if the movie succeeds, no one will care about these things."

After thinking for a long time, Michael nodded with difficulty: "Okay, just do as you said."

Back then, when he was filming his first movie, he begged his grandpa to sue his grandma in order to attract investment, which was extremely humble.

Since he was able to bow his head and give up his dignity back then, it is nothing to temporarily bow his head now for the sake of his career.

As long as the movie is successful, everything is fine.

Lose face, then lose face.

On the other side, Xu Nan, who was preparing to shoot a movie, received a call from Lin Ziyi.

"What, Michael asked me to make a movie about "The Lone Ranger"?"

Xu Nan was at a loss as to whether there was something wrong with this guy.

When I mistakenly thought that I touched you, I was very upset and publicly ridiculed. When I found out that I stopped touching you, you came to beg me to touch you again.

Are you schizophrenic?It's still uncomfortable if you don't get touched.

"That's it." Lin Ziyi quickly explained the situation.

"So that's what happened." Xu Nan finally understood.

It turned out that he wanted to use his Pingci to divert the attention of the audience and reverse the public opinion on the Internet.

This is reasonable.

To be able to come up with this trick, Michael is quite good at marketing.

"This matter is also good for you, and you can earn some box office, so hurry up and do it as soon as possible." Lin Ziyi reminded her and was about to hang up the phone.

It's just a movie, it's a trivial matter, just say a word on the phone, there's no need to waste too much time.

"Wait." Xu Nan said suddenly, "How much is Michael going to pay?"

"What?" Lin Ziyi was stunned.

Xu Nandao: "I asked, how much is Michael going to pay me for Porcelain?"

Lin Ziyi was speechless: "Is there any mistake? He allows you to touch porcelain, but you have to ask him to collect money, and you also make money from this movie."

Xu Nan: "You can't calculate it like this. I used to touch porcelain with movies like "The Hobbit", "Pacific Rim", "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" and "Titanic 2". Now you let me touch a "Lone Ranger" with a production cost of only 8000 million, isn't that lowering my grade?

Moreover, this movie has been caught in a storm of public opinion. This movie will damage my image. If Michael doesn't pay to make up for my loss, of course I won't make it. "

Lin Ziyi was almost speechless, you, a director who specializes in knock-off ceramics, have the nerve to talk about grades and image.

Do you have this thing?

But in business talk business, Xu Nan said so, and she couldn't refute it.

"I'll let Michael talk to you, and you can discuss the details yourself."

Lin Ziyi hung up the phone and passed the news to Michael.

This was originally Michael's business, she just sent a message.

After Michael learned of Xu Nan's request, he was also dumbfounded.

Is there any mistake, you touch me, and then ask me to pay, this is more humble than a prostitute.

At least the prostitute is collecting money, not only can he not collect money, but he has to give money back.

What is this called.

The producer said: "The most important thing now is to reverse public opinion, everything else is trivial."

"I'm going to talk to him about this matter, and I won't let him speak loudly. In addition, I will let him cooperate with our publicity and help us reverse public opinion."

Not only Michael valued the film's performance, but also the producer. If "The Lone Ranger" hits the street, his career will also be affected.

Michael heaved a sigh of relief, it would be best for the producer to talk, but he couldn't be ashamed to beg Xu Nan to touch porcelain.

Because things were in a hurry, the producer flew on the same day and met with Xu Nan.

"For 50 U.S. dollars, I made a Pingci movie, and I thought of the name, and it was called "The Lone Walker."

As soon as they met, Xu Nan laid out his conditions.

The producer immediately exclaimed: "This is so crazy, you can't even spend 50 US dollars to make a movie, and you actually ask me for 50 US dollars."

Xu Nan shook his head: "No, no, I need 70 US dollars to make a movie, and 50 US dollars is a discounted price."

Producer: "I'm a professional. It is absolutely impossible for your film to cost more than $30. I can only pay you $30 at most."

Xu Nan nodded: "Okay, it's only 30 US dollars."

Producer:"."

He felt that he was at a disadvantage, but there was nothing he could do.

"I can pay you 30 US dollars, but only if you cooperate with our publicity and help us change public opinion." The producer remedied.

Xu Nan nodded again: "No problem, I will help promote it."

Producer:"."

"In addition to cooperating with publicity, you also need to finish filming the movie in a very short period of time. Our "Lone Ranger" will be released in ten days, and you must complete the preparation, shooting, editing, and post-production of the movie within twelve days. Series work, I know it's difficult, but you have to do it, if you can't do it, you will deduct money."

Xu Nan smiled: "It doesn't take twelve days, seven days is enough. If you are in a hurry, we can go faster."

Producer:"."

Always feel at a loss.
