This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 45 I'm Not That Kind of Director

After getting the answer, Li Hua sat down satisfied.

Xu Nan's reply this time is still very good, very decent and polite.

Compared with the arrogance of the last press conference, this time it was like a different person.

"Hello, director Xu Nan, I'm a reporter from Ocean Entertainment. Since you have admitted that your company's previous films were all bad, then you will not feel ashamed if you know that they are bad films and they will be released in theaters. I'm sorry." The audience."

"Ahem." Xu Nan coughed: "Although the movies I made are bad, the quality is still passable. It's just that the persuasive way is a little bit worse, and the story is complete. Audiences will not go to the cinema to watch the movie. Feel like a waste of time."

"This can be seen from the reaction of some audiences. They said the movie was very good and watched it several times in a row."

The reporter from Ocean Entertainment asked: "So you think the bad movies you made are not completely bad movies, right?"

"Next question."

"Hi Director Xu, I'm from Chengzi Entertainment. You just said that the new movie "Captain of China" was created by you after five years of painstaking efforts. As for the story, how much did it cost to shoot it?"

Xu Nan took the microphone and replied, "I can tell you about the shooting cost first, [-] million, and the cost is [-] million."

There was a commotion in the press box.

At present, there are not many domestic films that can exceed [-] million box office. The cost of [-] million is a treatment that only a very small number of big productions can have.

Strictly speaking, with a production cost of [-] million, it can already be called a top-level production. If Xu Nan invites one or two first-line stars to join, it will be a genuine top-level production.

Many reporters silently recorded this information.

That news alone is worth the price of admission.

Lin Hongxiu, who was sitting next to her, had a flash of doubt in her big eyes.

Didn't it mean that the production cost was 5000 million, why suddenly [-] million?
Xu Nan continued to answer: "As for the story of the film, it is very simple, it is an anti-Japanese story, but audiences are tired of watching the old-fashioned anti-Japanese stories, so I introduced new elements, new concepts, that is, superheroes. "

"What is a superhero, as the name suggests, is the existence beyond ordinary people. Such existence will inevitably bring subversive changes to traditional anti-Japanese films."

"Of course, I can't disclose too much about the specific plot due to confidentiality reasons. After the movie is released, you can go to the cinema to experience it for yourself."

"However, I can assure you that this movie will definitely not let you down."

After answering this question, soon another reporter stepped forward.

"Hello Director Xu Nan, many viewers are curious about how much money you made through the first two films, can you tell us about it."

Xu Nan nodded: "No problem, I have nothing to hide from the audience. The first movie "On the River at Qingming" had a box office of 3000 million, and the streaming copyright was more than 1000 million. Mix it up and deduct some miscellaneous expenses. The income is about 6000 million or so."

"As for "Taoist Bian Shan", this movie has not been released yet, judging from the current box office trend, the revenue will not be less than 1000 million."

For ordinary film companies and directors, the real benefit is of course to hide as much as they can. Even if they have to say it, they will try to be as vague as possible, just not giving people an accurate figure.

After all, money is not revealed.

But Xu Nan doesn't need to do this. For him, the director with the highest return rate is a good gimmick that can be used to maintain his reputation.

The reporters were very satisfied with Xu Nan's unpretentious answer.

I just like this kind of honest person, and the audience must like this answer very much.

Because the audience is layman, they are all concerned about money.

"Hi Director Xu Nan."

Another reporter stood up and asked Xu Nan a question.

It was strange to say that even though Lin Hongxiu, the top trafficker, was sitting next to him, the reporters were all focusing on Xu Nan.

After a long time, someone asked.

"Xu Nan, why did you choose Lin Hongxiu as the leading role? As far as I know, she doesn't have any acting experience. Are you sure that letting Lin Hongxiu play the leading role will have a good impact on the movie?"

Speaking of this, Lin Hongxiu was a little nervous, and his expression was a little solemn.

Xu Nan's expression remained unchanged: "Letting Lin Hongxiu play the leading role is a decision I made after careful consideration. You may not believe it, but in fact, my script is based on Lin Hongxiu."

"She is the heroine in my mind. No one is suitable except her. I don't know what you think of Lin Hongxiu, but I have a good impression of her. In her eyes, I see A kind of awe, a kind of longing for the performance, I believe that in this state, she will definitely not hold back the crew."

"What's more, there are many old actors in the crew, they have rich experience, I believe, with their leadership, Lin Hongxiu will soon enter the play."

Lin Hongxiu next to him was very happy when he heard that.

It seems that because of this question, the reporter noticed Lin Hongxiu, and someone immediately asked her a question.

"Hello, Ms. Lin Hongxiu, there was news that you were in contact with those big directors in the industry. Why did you choose Zenith Film and Television and Xu Nan in the end?"

This is not the first time Lin Hongxiu has been interviewed. She has had a similar experience and answered the reporter's questions gracefully.

"Because Director Xu Nan is very sincere. In order to invite me to act in his movie, he took the initiative to meet me and try to convince me."

"When the two of us met, he directly took out the script and attached the storyboard. As soon as I saw the image of Yan Hongying, I fell in love with it. At that time, I thought that this character is very good. I must act."

The reporter asked again: "Lin Hongxiu, you don't have any acting experience, do you think you can play a role well?"

Lin Hongxiu nodded: "I think I can do it. Maybe as a newcomer, I might not get used to it, but I will try my best."

"Everyone comes from a newcomer. If others can do it, then I can do it too."

The reporter nodded and sat down.

Soon another reporter stood up and asked: "There are rumors that the reason why you were able to act in Xu Nan's new movie was because you brought money into the film. Is this statement true or false?"

Without waiting for Lin Hongxiu to answer, Xu Nan directly retorted: "Rumors are definitely rumors. There is no such thing as bringing money into the group. The funds for "Captain China" were all raised by myself and have nothing to do with Lin Hongxiu. .”

"Here I want to solemnly declare that as a director, I have strict requirements on the quality of my films. If Lin Hongxiu can't meet my standards, I will definitely not let her play the leading role."

"Let's just say, I'm not the kind of director who compromises for money, absolutely not."
