This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 446 Xu Nan returns home
"Mr. Xu Nan, I'm curious, you are a Chinese, why did you come to the United States?"

asked the show host Vincent.

Xu Nan replied: "Many people want to come to the United States, because it is the most developed country in the world, and the reason for me to come to the United States is very simple, it is easy to make money here."

Vincent smiled: "It's easy to make money, how do you say?"

Xu Nan spread his hands: "Isn't it not easy? "Area 51" cost less than [-] U.S. dollars to shoot, but it achieved a good result of one billion U.S. dollars."

Xu Nan's demeanor was very casual, like a college student, that kind of clear innocence.

Looking at him, it seems that making money is really easy, just like drinking water.

Vincent laughed: "According to what you say, it seems that it is really easy to make money, but as far as I know, the movie "Area 51" also spent a lot of money to promote it."

Xu Nan nodded: "Yes, this movie did spend a lot of money on publicity, but it wasn't included in the shooting cost."

Vincent: "But even if a lot of money is spent on promotion, the success of this movie cannot be denied. This is a work that can be recorded in the history of American movies. I am curious, how did you think of promoting it in this way?"

Xu Nan thought for a while, and then replied: "The reason why I choose this way of thinking is mainly because after I came to the United States, I found that the people of the United States are very anti-intellectual."

"Sometimes this kind of anti-intellectualism is even irrational. Some very ridiculous conspiracy theories have a very broad market. Many people really believe it, and even some cults preach openly and no one controls them."

"So I thought, why not tap into that emotion, and that's how Area 51 was born."

Vincent nodded involuntarily.

The anti-intellectualism of the American people was not only observed by Xu Nan alone, but many people with lofty ideals in the United States have noticed it, and there are even experts who specialize in this.

Xu Nan was the first to use Americans' anti-intellectualism to win the box office.

Someone should try to learn from him in the future, but it is not so easy to succeed in this matter.

Vincent asked again: "In addition to "Area 51", you also filmed "Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta", "Atlantic Rim", and "The Age of the Hobbit" in the United States, creating the genre of Shanzhai Pengci.

"Excuse me, how did you come up with the idea to shoot this type of movie?"

Xu Nan blinked his eyes: "Actually, I made this type of movie by accident. Many Americans may not know that the earliest Shanzhai touch porcelain film was actually shot in China."

"At that time, I took over a company that was about to go bankrupt. I only had less than [-] US dollars in funds and owed a foreign debt."

"At that time, in order to pay off the debt, I had no choice but to shoot a movie with a name similar to a big production."

"At that time, my idea was very simple. As long as I could gain a little popularity, I could earn $[-]. But I didn't expect that this movie was unexpectedly popular and made me earn tens of millions of dollars. Then I discovered this business opportunity."

Vincent showed a surprised expression: "It's really crazy to have earned tens of millions of dollars."

"Yes." Xu Nan nodded.

In fact, Xu Nanmei simplified the process of starting a family, deliberately speaking as if he was forced to do so.

After all, there are still many people who have a certain prejudice against knockoff tiles.

And this statement is very interesting and easier to spread.

Think about it, one is to observe quietly and find out that there is a market for Shanzhai Pengpeng porcelain, and then the shooting is successful.

There is another one that is forced to pat casually and achieve success beyond expectations.

Obviously the latter is easier to spread and easier to remember.

Successful people always need an interesting story to set up their character.

Isn't that what everyone does?

Vincent didn't ask for details, but chatted with Xu Nan like a friend, and talked about whatever he wanted.

He asked a lot of questions, but none of them made Xu Nan feel embarrassed, but he felt at ease.

The two chatted a lot, talking about everything.

Finally, Vincent asked: "You have achieved great success in the United States, but as far as I know, you are still a foreigner without a green card. Excuse me, have you ever thought about joining the United States?"

Xu Nan shook his head resolutely: "Never thought about it."

The United States is a country of immigrants, and the people here don't really value their original nationality very much.

If Xu Nan chooses to join the United States and become a native of the United States, relying on his current status, achievements, and a little effort, the Americans can actually accept him.

Although the United States is dominated by white people, other races can actually live well in this country, as long as you accept the values ​​here and try to integrate into them.

But Xu Nan didn't want to do this, because this was not his homeland, and even though he had laid a good foundation here, he still didn't want to stay.

Vincent was surprised: "Never?"

Xu Nan's answer surprised him.

Because many people are willing to abandon their wives and children in order to become Americans, traveling thousands of miles, and even risking their lives.

Coupled with the fact that the United States is number one in national strength, the citizens will inevitably have a sense of arrogance.

So Vincent was a little shocked to hear about Xu Nan's country.

Xu Nan nodded seriously: "Yes, I never thought about becoming a US citizen, and I will leave the US soon and return to my own country."

Vincent was even more surprised: "I'm going back soon."

Xu Nan nodded: "That's right."

Vincent: "But your movie 'Area 51' just had a huge success."

Xu Nan suddenly showed a strange smile: "I remember when I came to the United States for the first time to participate in the program, I said that I would use my movies to conquer the audience in the United States, and I also wanted to teach the directors in the United States how to make movies."

"A lot of people said at the time that I was dreaming, but it turns out that I have also done it."

"Since the goal of coming to the United States has been fulfilled, of course there is no need for me to stay here."

Vincent:"."

Are you serious?
He had indeed heard such a statement, but he did not expect Xu Nan to say it again.

But thinking of Xu Nan's character design, Vincent thought it was normal.

It's just that, it's easy to be beaten.

After the program was recorded, it was broadcast immediately. The TV station basically didn't edit anything, and broadcast everything Xu Nan said.

In the United States, Xu Nan still has a certain popularity. Coupled with the audience base of the TV station, after the show was broadcast, many people watched it.

Undoubtedly, Xu Nan's words sparked some controversy.

In particular, Xu Nan said that he was going back to China soon.

The news of Xu Nan's return to China spread all over the Internet within a short period of time.
