This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 481

Quietly, the filming of the movie "Striker" started.

After the launch conference was held and some materials were provided to the reporters, Xu Nan took Liu Shishi to officially shoot the movie "Glaring Man".

For this movie, [-] million funds have been fully allocated, and they are waiting for Xu Nan to spend all the money.

This is Xu Nan's first time shooting such a high-cost movie, and it can be described in one sentence.

Our old Li has never fought such a rich battle in his life.

The reason why so much money needs to be spent is very simple. Xu Nan's movie this time is a superhero movie.

The most important thing about superhero movies is undoubtedly two words.

Special effects, special effects, still special effects.

Without sufficiently exquisite special effects and magnificent scenes, the superhero movie will inevitably fail.

Conversely, as long as the special effects are realistic enough and the scene is grand enough, it doesn't matter if it's a little bit worse in other aspects.

Xu Nan's first serious film "The Beginning" has been a success. This film wiped away his reputation as a director of bad films before, and made him initially accepted by the circle.

But this is not enough. The negative impact of Xu Nan's bad films before is too strong, so the success of a single film is not very convincing. Many people are still used to looking at him with colored eyes.

But if Xu Nan succeeds in another movie, then his prejudice will be completely shattered in front of the iron-like facts.

By the time.
Of course, another very important reason why Xu Nan dared to spend so much money to make a movie was because he was sure that the movie would make money.

Don't dare to say 80.00%, there is still [-]% certainty.

the reason is simple.

This is the first superhero movie in China, and it is the only one for Scorpion Baba.

In the past, there were quite a few movies in the country with the title of superhero movie, but those movies were often peddled, boasting that each one was bigger than the other, but in fact each one was more watery than the other.

Such as "Captain China".

Like Spider-Man.

So, strictly speaking, there were no superhero movies in China before, and the superhero movies that audiences watched were all made abroad, and they were all Hollywood products. There was not a single domestically produced superhero movie.

This is a blank market, just waiting for a visionary person to occupy it.

And Xu Nan, as the first person to eat crabs, will definitely be able to eat his mouth full of oil and make a lot of money.

Although domestic audiences are conservative, they are very tolerant in a sense. As long as you touch them with sincerity, they will repay you with ten times more sincerity.

Taking a step back, even if you really lost money, it doesn't matter.

First of all, out of the 40.00 million investment, Summit Film and Television only invested 50.00 million, accounting for [-]% of the total investment, but the income was [-]%.

In addition to the box office proceeds that need to be shared with other investors, the rest of the proceeds, such as network broadcasting rights, copyrights, and other series of proceeds, all belong to Peak Film and Television.

Even the [-] million investment has already paid back more than half of the cost by placing advertisements.

In other words, for this movie, the probability of Xu Nan losing money is very small, and the risk has been minimized.

Virtually no risk.

The benefits are great.

Xu Nan must make this kind of movie.

The plot of "Glaring Man" is very simple, it can be said to be simple and rude.

Liu Xia is blind and also a famous scientist.

She was blinded by an accident when she was a child, but after she became blind, she did not give up on herself, but studied hard, made progress every day, and became a super scientist.

When she grew up, she founded a company specializing in the production of various high-tech instruments, which is the world's leading super large company.

But Liu Xia was not satisfied, and still devoted herself to the research, hoping to develop a special prosthetic eye so that she could see again.

By chance, Liu Xia got three strange beads, which contained strange energy.

As a scientist, Liu Xia was very surprised by this, and was shocked by the power contained in the beads, and wanted to integrate these beads into the prosthetic eye she made.

But Liu Xia didn't know that these three magical beads came from a mysterious organization. After they discovered that the Lingzhu was obtained by Liu Xia, they decided to attack Liu Xia's company, kill Liu Xia, and take back the Lingzhu.

But Liu Xia didn't know all this, she was still trying to implant the spirit beads into the prosthetic eye in the laboratory.

After repeated difficult attempts, Liu Xia succeeded. She created a pair of prosthetic eyes with superpowers, which possessed extremely powerful power.

Just at this time, a mysterious organization came to attack the company, and they wanted to kill Liu Xia.

At the critical moment, Liu Xia put the prosthetic eye into the eye socket to replace the original eye, and then used the superpower of the prosthetic eye to kill all the attackers.

But this is just the beginning.

After the mysterious organization learned that Liu Xia had successfully used the energy of the Lingzhu, they were even more afraid of Liu Xia, and wanted to get rid of it quickly. They colluded with the military and tried to use absolute power to crush and kill Liu Xia and regain the Lingzhu.

What followed was a world-shattering visual effects battle. Helicopters, tanks, drones, and various high-tech weapons appeared in turn, and finally Liu Xia used her supernatural prosthetic eye to destroy them all.

Liu Xia blocked and killed people, and Buddha blocked and killed Buddha, all the way to the representative of the mysterious organization.

Just when Liu Xia was about to kill the representative of this mysterious organization with her supernatural prosthetic eye, a man in uniform came out to stop her, saying that everything would be handled by him.

This person in uniform is Xu Nan, to be precise, the character played by Xu Nan, and he has appeared in "Captain China" and "Spiderman".

At the end of the movie, Liu Xia returns to the company and announces that she has developed a high-tech prosthetic eye that can help blind people regain their sight.

She announced that she would donate 100 billion funds to set up a fund for blind patients to help all blind people in the world restore their sight.

Because of her astonishing acts of kindness, the media also presented Liu Xia with an honorary title - Staring Man.

After reading the script, Liu Shishi, who played Liu Xia, raised a question.

"Why is Liu Xia set to be a blind person?"

"With such a setting, presented in the movie, won't Liu Xia look dull?"

"And it's hard to play a blind man."

Xu Nan smiled: "Shi Shi, you don't need to act, you can just behave normally."

Liu Shishi: "."

"Director Xu, what do you mean?" Liu Shishi was very angry.

But despite her anger, her eyes were still glazed.

Xu Nan sighed: "Shi Shi, do you really have no idea in your heart?"

"You are good everywhere, but your eyes are too dull. No one in the circle knows that you are nearsighted."

Liu Shishi was aggrieved, and said in a muffled voice, "But that's not the reason to make the character blind."

Xu Nan chuckled: "Don't you know that your fan, Little Lion, has a nickname for you?"

A bad feeling suddenly rose in Liu Shishi's heart, but he still couldn't help asking, "What pet name?"

"Sister Xia, the shrimp of the lobster." Xu Nandao: "But in fact, this name was originally blind sister, blind blind blind."

"Because your eyes are dull in every TV series, black fans nicknamed you blind sister, but your fans beautified you as sister shrimp."

"Look, even your fans know that your eyes are dull, why don't you have any idea?"

Liu Shishi: "."

So angry, but keep smiling.

Xu Nan continued to attack mentally: "The reason why I set the protagonist Liu Xia as a blind person is to maximize your strengths and avoid weaknesses, and fully cover up your weaknesses."

"In this way, even if your eyes are dull in the movie, it can still be explained that you use fake eyes. It's not that your acting skills are not good, but that the script is set like this."

"Not only can the audience not say that your eyes are dull, but they also want to praise your acting skills. You played a blind man very vividly."

"I put so much effort into it, why don't you understand Shi Shi?"

Liu Shishi: "." I felt insulted.

But she has nothing to say.

With the hard evidence in front of you, arguing is just self-defeating.

Just wait until the movie is over.

The blind sister secretly clenched her fists.

But she didn't say anything, and went straight away to recite the script.

Liu Shishi's professionalism is still good, and he read the script carefully as soon as he got it, trying to get a comprehensive understanding of the character, so that he can act without panic.

That's why she could see that something was wrong with the setting of the protagonist.

If it’s an ordinary little fresh meat, not to mention the setting of the protagonist, you may not even know the name of the character after the play.

From this aspect, Liu Shishi is still very dedicated.

As for some small physical defects, it is better not to pay too much attention to them.

People with disabilities cannot be discriminated against.

After finishing Liu Shishi, Xu Nan came to the special effects team.

This is the real essence of the whole crew.

For a cost of [-] million, [-] million will be spent on special effects.

With so much money, even in Hollywood, it can be ranked first, and it is the only one in China.

Although the previous "Great Wall" cost more than one billion RMB, or [-] million US dollars, most of the cost was spent on hiring actors, and not much money was actually spent on special effects.

The Hollywood actor, Liu Tianwang, wants to invite so many big stars to participate in the movie, but it will not work if there is less money.

Unlike the crew of "Glaring Man", Peak Film and Television is used to being poor, careful budgeting, and spending every penny in half.

The only big star, Liu Shishi, also reduced his salary to the price of cabbage.

90.00% of the crew's funds are used for film production.

In order to achieve the special effects that Xu Nan wanted, dozens of special effects companies in China have gathered in the crew of Stare Man, striving hard for the highest level of special effects in domestic films.

Yang Ping, the leader of the special effects team, even patted his chest for assurance.

"Director Xu Nan, I guarantee that the special effects of "Glaster" are the best in China, and they are absolutely no worse than Hollywood."

"If you can't do that, I'll chop off my head and give it to you."
