This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 459 It Must Be a Bad Movie Again
Before filming, Xu Nan held a launching ceremony.

Xu Nan is a famous director. The filming of the new film has started. Everyone is very curious. The opening ceremony has attracted a lot of media.

At the ceremony, in front of the visiting media, Xu Nan was full of pride.

"I know that many people don't like my new movie, and I also know that many people think that I can only do publicity, I can't make movies, and I can't make good movies."

"I don't want to explain these doubts, because it's useless to just explain with my mouth. When my new movie comes out, all doubts will be shattered."

These media were given red envelopes by Xu Nan according to the usual practice, and they were more face-saving when reporting.

"Xu Nan threatened to use strength to crush doubts. "

"Xu Nan: I can not only make bad movies, but also good movies. "

"At the beginning, we will use quality to crush all dissatisfaction. "

"The filming of the new movie has started, can Xu Nan create another miracle. "

"Choose an amateur as the protagonist, and the future is worrisome at first. "

"Expert: Xu Nan is seeking his own death. "

"People in the industry look down, filming is not easy. "

After the relevant news was sent out, netizens felt a little confused.

Is Xu Nan making a movie again?
Many netizens thought that "Sharknado" was filmed by Xu Nan, so seeing Xu Nan making a new movie, it feels outrageous.

Just after the last movie hit the street, you are making a new movie. You are becoming more and more courageous.

Or, run all the way to failure?
But they still remember the news. Maybe they will forget it in a few days, but when the movie is released, they will remember it and become the potential audience of the movie.

The promotion of the movie actually started from this moment.

People in the industry are relatively professional, focusing on the lineup of this movie.

Among them, the star of the film, Li Ruoshui, has received the most attention.

Industry insiders are puzzled.

"Xu Nan said that he wants to transform and make good movies. I can understand it. After all, he can't go far by relying on crooked ways. It is relatively late for him to transform, but what is the situation when he chooses a new actor as the protagonist."

"That's right, I don't understand it at all. Xu Nan has made so many movies, and he is considered an old director. Don't you understand the role of choosing a professional actor in promoting a movie's box office?"

"Many actors in the industry have the ability to resist the box office. As long as their names appear on the movie, the audience will watch it. Why didn't Xu Nan choose these people?"

"This actor named Li Ruoshui has never even studied acting. According to the information, she graduated from the University of Aeronautics and majored in electromechanical."

"What?"

"It's outrageous. It's understandable to be an amateur, but not even an acting major. This is really outrageous."

"The other actors are quite reliable, why is the most important protagonist so trash."

"It can only be said that Xu Nan's choice has never been understood."

People in the circle are very concerned about Xu Nan's new movie, because Xu Nan said that he will use this movie to transform and make a good movie.

The news circulating in the circle before was basically the rhythm of Xu Nan's going to do a big job, which made everyone feel itchy. They wanted to know whether Xu Nan could successfully transform and make a good movie.

But as soon as the list of actors came out, all the previous expectations became muddled.

can not understand.

At this time, some people in the industry who had a deep prejudice against Xu Nan began to sneer.

"You don't really believe Xu Nan's nonsense, do you?"

"Been lied to so many times, but still trust Xu Nan, I'm really worried about your IQ."

"It's no wonder Xu Nan succeeds every time he makes a bad movie, mainly because there are too many fools."

The people in the circle are not stupid. Hearing these words, he quickly woke up.

"You guys mean to say."

"That's right, Xu Nan is going to cheat again this time."

"If you think about it carefully, you will know that what Xu Nan is best at is to use marketing to make a movie that was originally rubbish explode at the box office. So far, he has never failed by relying on this trick. If this is the case, what reason does he have to transform?" .”

"If you can succeed by making bad movies, why should you make good movies?"

"There are too many shortcuts. If you ask him to change his method and take the normal path, is he able to do it? Even if he can, is he willing to take it?"

"Don't even think about it, this time it must be another bad movie. There is nothing to pay attention to about the movie itself, and the marketing methods that go with it are the focus of attention."

"I find it ridiculous to see a group of people guessing why Xu Nan wanted to use a newcomer. They are professionals after all. They can't understand such a simple thing, because Xu Nan didn't put his mind on filming at all. Newcomers and old people Does it make a difference to him?"

"Wake up, it is understandable for ordinary people to be deceived, but for professionals to be deceived, I really have to doubt your level and IQ."

It has to be said that Xu Nan's previous operations left a deep psychological shadow on some insiders, causing them to instinctively refuse to believe that Xu Nan would choose to make a good movie.

And is it so easy to make a good movie? If Xu Nan can make it if he wants to, then what are they who have been in the industry for many years?
After some exchanges, most people in the circle unified their opinions.

Xu Nan is going to make another bad movie this time, and then use marketing to make money at the box office.

The statement in the circle basically represents authority.

Soon, relevant sayings spread from inside the circle to outside the circle.

In a movie forum.

"Do you know Xu Nan's new movie?"

"You know, "The Beginning", there has been a small-scale publicity all the time, and the popularity is not bad, but unfortunately there are no big names, so I can't arouse interest in watching it."

"Xu Nan isn't considered a big name. His cumulative box office is the highest in the country."

"But everyone knows the quality of his movies. I don't believe anyone will look forward to Xu Nan's new movie."

"If there are no good movies to watch, I may choose his movies, but as long as there are other choices, I will definitely not watch his movies."

"Who says it's not? There are several bad films in a row, which completely drained the audience's trust. It depends on whether his marketing can change his life against the sky."

"But I heard that Xu Nan is going to make a good movie this time, and he said that he will smash doubts with quality."

"Hahaha, you also believe what Xu Nan said, brother, how naive you are."

"Could it be that the legendary Huihui is fooled, Dangdang is different?"

"Brother, let me tell you, according to the general saying in our industry, Xu Nan's film this time is still a bad movie. If you don't believe me, you will know when the movie comes out."

"You can see that he chose a newcomer actor. If he really made a good movie, would he choose someone who can carry the box office?"

"Let me put it here. Xu Nan's new movie Bean Sprouts is absolutely impossible to score more than six points. If it exceeds my live broadcast jump into the sea."

Xu Nantong chose to ignore the gossip in the circle and the doubts of the audience, and devoted himself to the filming process.

It may be that Xu Nan has accumulated a wealth of experience through multiple shooting experiences and honed his skills.

Or maybe it's because he's conceived the movie from the very beginning, and it's been in his head for years.

After the actual filming started, Xu Nan was able to handle it with ease, and the whole process went very smoothly, basically without any major troubles.

During the filming, the crew also encountered a small episode. Zhang Wei thought he had seen through Xu Nan. Before the filming started, he told Li Ruoshui that the conditions of the crew would be very difficult, so she should be mentally prepared and don't cry.

Li Ruoshui believed it was true, and nervously did some psychological training.

But in fact, the conditions of the crew were very good, and Xu Nan didn't think about saving money at all, which made Li Ruoshui very confused and asked why Zhang Wei was different from what he said.

Time passed quickly, and in mid-July, after two and a half months of shooting, the crew successfully finished filming.

Strictly speaking, this speed is relatively fast. Many big directors often start making movies in half a year, and some even take more than a year.

A little exaggerated for several years.

Xu Nan's style may have been finalized because of bad films. He has always shot things faster, even if he worked hard to improve, the shooting speed is still very fast.

After the shooting is completed, it is naturally the post-production of the film.

Post-production is very important to a film, sometimes even more important than shooting, but it is not difficult for Xu Nan, and it is easy to get it done.

After the post-production is completed, the most critical thing is the release.

The film's producer, Liu Yang, glanced at several good schedules, showing bitterness.

"Mr. Xu, the situation is not good. All the good schedules have been taken up by big productions. No matter which schedule we choose, we will face strong opponents."

Liu Yang, who has experienced the whole process of filming, knows that Xu Nan is making a serious and good movie this time, not the kind of blockbuster that sells dog meat.

Therefore, the choice of schedule is very important to this movie.

The total cost of "The Beginning" is [-] million, and the box office needs at least [-] million to pay back.

But Peak Film and Television is used to eating meat, how can it be satisfied with the box office of [-] million, and this is Mr. Xu's transformation work, the box office of less than [-] million is basically considered a failure.

If you want to have a box office of [-] million, you must choose a good schedule, otherwise, the market simply cannot accommodate it.

But if you choose a good schedule, you have to compete with big-budget high-quality movies from other film and television companies.

As a producer, Liu Yang knew the quality of "The Beginning" well and confirmed that it was a good movie.

But a good movie may not be able to get a high box office. In this regard, the market is unreasonable. If the box office of a movie can be known only by forecasting, there will not be so many blockbuster movies.

In this regard, even senior industry insiders cannot guarantee that a movie will make money [-]%.

Which schedule should I choose?

Liu Yang felt very embarrassed.

Xu Nan was already mentally prepared. He looked at a few popular schedules and smiled.

"Just choose the eleventh gear."

Liu Yang's eyes widened: "Mr. Xu, I'm not mistaken. The eleventh episode is directed by Zhang Yange, produced by a Hollywood team, starring Matt, Lin Hongxiu, Pedro, Andy Lau, and others. The Sino-American co-production of the big production "The Great Wall "ah."

Xu Nan laughed: "I played "The Great Wall"."
