This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 97 Makes "Captain China" the worst movie ever

Many people have always had a misunderstanding, thinking that as long as the quality of the movie is good, the box office will be high.

In fact, this kind of thinking is completely wrong, just like licking a dog thinking that as long as you work hard, you can lick the goddess, it is an extremely wrong idea.

The box office of a movie has a certain relationship with the quality of the movie, but there is no absolute relationship. Bad movies can also have a good box office.

"Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", which made Liu Tianwang, who had acted in countless bad movies, take the initiative to apologize, used the marketing method of bad movies for the first time, and took [-] million box office. It not only recovered the cost, but even made a profit.

The Douban score of this movie is only 2.9 points, which can be said to be heinously bad.

Liu Tianwang has acted in countless bad movies and has never apologized, but he only apologized for "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", which shows how bad this movie is.

But it was such an earth-shattering bad film that not only recovered the cost, but also made money in the end.

What a lot of good movies fail to do, a bad movie does.

There is also a movie "Where Are We Going, Dad?" Strictly speaking, this is not a movie at all, it can only be said to be an extended version of a variety show.

But it is such a movie that is not considered a movie, but in the end it took nearly [-] million box office, made a lot of money, and stepped on many high-quality movies.

This is the ridiculous thing about the film market. A good film does not necessarily make money, but a bad film may make money.

Many people think that as long as they make a good movie, the audience will watch it. This is actually an extremely wrong idea.

Movies are just a pastime for many people. Audiences don't spend money for good movies, but for movies they want to watch.

The quality of the movie is just one of the reasons to watch this movie.

As long as you can successfully arouse the audience's desire to watch this movie, you will be successful. Sometimes the quality of the movie is not the most critical factor.

As for how to arouse the audience's desire to watch movies, Xu Nan had already planned.

After dismissing the two employees, he immediately returned to the office to call Zhang Tong.

Zhang Tong is a retired old professor from Nortel, with peaches and plums all over the world, and people related to her spread across half of the film and television circle.

She used to be very good in the industry, but she became lonely because of her retirement. She was invited by Xu Nan to a company to brag about her movie.

The two had reached an agreement before, and now is the time for Zhang Tong to make a move.

When the phone was connected, Xu Nanguo said, "Hello, Professor Zhang."

Zhang Tong, who had just finished watching the movie, connected the phone: "It's me, Mr. Xu, you are going to let me start it, right?"

Xu Nan nodded: "Yes, just follow what we said last time, the others should be able to handle it."

Zhang Tong quickly replied: "It's done, it's done."

"That's good." Xu Nan felt relieved, and asked casually, "Have you watched the movie, what do you think?"

"Uh"

In his life, Zhang Tong, who has experienced countless winds and rains, was silent.

She couldn't help but roar in her heart.

Don't you know how the movie went?
Last time, she had the nerve to let her blow this movie.

This means that there is a follow-up, otherwise Zhang Tong will be autistic, and his life's reputation will be wiped out.

Before, she was still wondering why Xu Nan asked her to do this, but now she finally understands.

Hearing that the old professor Zhang Tong remained silent, Xu Nan immediately understood and couldn't help shaking his head.

"Professor Zhang Tong, I thought that with your knowledge, I would be able to see the excellence of this movie. I didn't expect that you, like other ordinary people, thought it was a bad movie."

"Really, I'm so disappointed. Nortel's professors are at this level?"

Zhang Tong on the other side of the phone had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat and almost spit it out.

It’s not that your conscience won’t hurt when you say such things. You, the director, are directly responsible for the film’s rotten state, okay?

As a professor of Nortel, Zhang Tong has read countless films and knows the filming and editing of films very well.

When she was watching a movie just now, she discovered that there are actually many scenes that movies can handle in a better way.

For example, Lin Hongxiu's acting skills are poor, and it is possible to use side shots, long-distance shots, or other shooting methods to weaken the impact of Lin Hongxiu's lack of acting skills on the movie.

But Xu Nan just put Lin Hongxiu in the center of the screen, showing her poor acting skills to the maximum, which greatly reduced the quality of the movie.

In addition, there are some ways in which the director handles other parts of the film, which obviously deliberately make the film go in a weird direction.

In Zhang Tong's opinion, if the quality of Fuhuadao can be improved, and the shooting method of weakening the acting skills of the leading actor is adopted, the quality of this movie can be improved a lot, and it may not be able to become an excellent movie.

This aspect can be seen from the rhythm of the film and the completeness of the story. Even if the wrong shooting method is used, the story of this film is still complete, clear and organized.

The rhythm is also well controlled. From the beginning when the protagonist's family is killed, to the transformation of the protagonist, and finally to revenge, the standard first suppresses and then rises, which makes people's adrenaline soar, and there is no urine point in the whole process.

But Xu Nan insisted on choosing a special shooting method, which turned a movie that could have been of high quality into a... er... bad movie.

Zhang Tong really didn't understand how Xu Nan made the movie like this, she could clearly see that Xu Nan was a capable director, but she really didn't understand how the movie was made like this.

Xu Nan suddenly thought of a good idea, and he said, "By the way, Professor Zhang Tong, before your meeting, you can try to invite Zhang Yange."

"He seems to have a lot of opinions on me. If you invite him, he might really go."

Zhang Tong nodded: "Okay, I understand, I will try to invite him, but I have a normal relationship with him, I really can't guarantee whether he will come or not."

"It's okay, just try it out. We'll make a lot of money when Zhang Yange comes, and we don't lose money if Zhang Yange doesn't come. It's just a phone call anyway."

"By the way, don't let him know about our agreement."

Xu Nan exhorted.

Zhang Tong immediately said: "Don't worry, I understand this."

After talking with Zhang Tong on the phone, Xu Nan made several consecutive calls in the office. The owners of these calls were all marketing accounts and trolls.

Before the movie was released, Xu Nan used these marketing accounts and trolls to generate popularity. Now that the movie has been released, it's time to change the publicity strategy.

Xu Nan's new instructions to these marketing accounts and sailors are very simple.

Immediately changed the publicity plan, blackened the movie "Captain of China" without a bottom line, completely ruined the movie's reputation, and became a super bad movie that everyone knows.

It would be better if the name of "Captain China" as a bad movie spread across the country and everyone knows that it is the worst movie ever made.
