This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 420 Spielberg

Xu Nan has achieved continuous success, and the North American box office of the movie "The Falling Cherry Ax Washington" has exceeded 7000 million US dollars.

If it were an American with such achievements, he would have been recognized as a great director long ago.

But Xu Nan is a foreigner, and the success of his movie seems to be due to luck.

Let’s not talk about the previous knock-offs, but take the world-renowned movie “Titanic 2”, if it weren’t for the support of theaters and Cameron’s assists, it would be impossible for it to have a box office of hundreds of millions.

As for "The Ax of Cherry Blossoms in Washington", if it wasn't for Paris, even if Xu Nan could promote it well, it would be a question of whether the box office would exceed [-] million.

Regardless of whether Xu Nan thinks so or not, people in the circle think so. They always feel that Xu Nan's success is due to luck, and he feels that he has no strength.

So many people are paying attention to Xu Nan's next movie. If his next movie is still successful, there is no doubt that Xu Nan is capable.

Or he already has the strength, but the insiders can always find an excuse to say that he didn't have it before, but as long as Xu Nan succeeds again, the insiders will have no excuses.

But Lin Ziyi has a different opinion from others. She knows that Xu Nan is capable. In China, Xu Nan's two films have achieved great success, and they all rely on marketing.

Although the quality is not very good, but the box office is real.

It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.

The box office results of Xu Nan's new movie should be very good, and being able to get a role is also a good resource. When it is released, many people will grab their heads, and many people are even willing to be unspoken.

Xu Nan shook his head: "My new movie has no shortage of actors, and the cost of my movie is very low, so I can't pay a high salary."

Lin Ziyi said: "It doesn't matter. Many newcomers are willing to pay for your movie."

Xu Nan repeated: "I have no shortage of actors."

Lin Ziyi was a little regretful: "Okay, forget it, by the way, what's the name of your new movie?"

Xu Nan immediately said: "This needs to be kept secret, and you will know when the movie is released."

Lin Ziyi glanced at Xu Nan, but said nothing.

Hollywood does have a tradition of keeping the whole process of large-scale projects secret. There have even been cases where actors don't know the name of the movie when they get the script.

But you, who rely on marketing, also engage in secrecy, which is a bit hard to understand.

This is the consequence of Mr. Xu Nan's crooked ways. Even if he succeeds continuously, people will still have prejudice against him subconsciously, even if they are acquaintances.

This is the same as playing e-sports. The country recognizes it as a formal sport, but many people still think it is not doing business properly.

There is no way, what is gained is what is lost, the world is fair.

At this moment, a capable old man with a serious face and brown and white hair walked over in a formal dress, black-rimmed glasses.

Lin Ziyi took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Spielberg."

Xu Nan froze for a moment, slightly surprised.

It turns out that this is Spielberg, the top director in the United States.

Cameron was originally a truck driver and a director by accident, so the number of films he shot is not many.

But Spielberg is different. He has loved movies since he was a child, and he has started shooting experimental short films before he went to college. He started shooting movies when he was less than 30 years old, and it has been almost 40 years so far.

For more than 40 years of continuous filming, Spielberg has accumulated an astonishing number of works. From science fiction films, war films, biographical films, and even literary films, Spielberg can shoot, and his styles can be described as changeable.

At the same time, Spielberg is also the director with the highest cumulative box office in the United States, and has won countless awards. For other directors, one successful movie is enough to last a lifetime.Spielberg is different. He has dozens of successful films, many of which are groundbreaking.

For example, "Jaws" won the annual box office champion that year and opened the genre of monster disaster movies.

And "Jurassic Park," and "Raiders of the Lost Ark," and so on.

Spielberg's successful works are too many, too many to count.

The quality of most directors' movies is high or low, but Spielberg is amazing. No matter what type of movie he makes, the quality is above the standard.

Maybe he doesn't have an epoch-making work like Cameron's "Titanic", but there are too many sub-level works.

Moreover, besides being a successful director, Spielberg is also the owner of a film and television company. His DreamWorks Film and Television is one of the few entertainment giants in the United States, second only to the three major theaters.

In terms of qualifications, status, and net worth, Spielberg is first-class. No wonder Lin Ziyi took the initiative to say hello.

Facing Lin Ziyi, Spielberg squeezed out a smile on his serious face.

"Beautiful lady, your beauty is like the sun in the sky, illuminating the whole hall."

Lin Ziyi smiled slightly: "Thank you."

The two chatted quickly, and Xu Nan listened carefully.

It turned out that Spielberg's latest work will be released soon, and I hope that Lin Ziyi can give him a higher schedule.

Of course, it will take a long time, half a month or so, the movie release is not so easy, schedule, theaters, publicity, etc., a lot of things have to be done.

The bigger the production, the more complicated this aspect becomes.

It's not like knocking tiles in the cottage, you can pick them up in a short time.

Lin Ziyi also pays more attention to Spielberg's new movie. This is a big production of DreamWorks, and you don't need to check the quality of the movie first. not low.

Great directors have this privilege.

Of course, the specific number of theaters and film schedules can only be determined after watching the movie. The theater chain has always been strict in this regard.

Spielberg was quite satisfied with Lin Ziyi's conditions and nodded slightly.

At this time, he suddenly noticed Xu Nan: "This is"

Lin Ziyi introduced: "He is Xu Nan."

Spielberg knew who it was in an instant, director Huaxia, no one in the circle didn't know.

Just because he hasn't met Xu Nan, doesn't mean he hasn't heard of it.

Xu Nan nodded towards Spielberg: "Mr. Steven, I am a fan of your movie, and I like your "Jaws" very much."

Spielberg nodded slightly: "Your movie is also okay, and the marketing is very good."

"But young people, I have to give you a piece of advice. The most important thing about a movie is the quality. Marketing alone won't do it."

Xu Nan nodded with a smile, with a taught expression.
