This director only makes bad movies

As National Day approaches, major film producers have begun to increase their efforts to promote their films.

but.

From beginning to end, "Sweep the Alliance" has been the movie that audiences paid the most attention to.

As the film releases more and more information, the audience becomes more and more excited and expectant.

"Have you seen the stills posted on the official Weibo account of "Sweep the Alliance"? It's so cool."

"Nothing wrong, the four beauties are in the same frame, with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, each specializing in their own scene. I don't know where to look."

"If this was put into a house, it would be difficult to get out alive."

"Xu is really good at making bad movies, and the female stars are so beautiful under his lens."

"What I'm more concerned about is the setting of this movie, the revival of spiritual energy and the heavenly court of a higher civilization. This movie has a large proportion of science fiction."

"Superhero movies are actually a type of science fiction film. There is nothing wrong with saying this is a science fiction film."

"I feel that this movie will be a milestone for domestic science fiction films, and it may be able to start a trend of domestic science fiction films."

"It's really possible. Xu Nan is the originator of bad movies and superhero movies. Maybe he can really make science fiction popular."

"In fact, what is more important is the gathering of superheroes. The protagonists of four superhero movies are gathered in one movie to fight against the advanced civilization of Heaven. It is exciting to think about it."

“The more I talk about it, the more exciting it becomes. I’m really looking forward to seeing this movie.”

Whether it's "Captain China" that opened up the superhero universe, or "Spider-Man" that set off a craze for super powers, or "Stargazer" that started the trend of big special effects, or "Dragon Mother" with a box office of over 3 billion, all of them are Big breakout movie.

It can be said that most domestic audiences have watched these movies, some in theaters and some through streaming media.

The number of viewers who have watched several movies adds up to a very scary number.

There is no doubt that these people are potential votes for "Sweep the Alliance"

The four superheroes gathered together for the first time to fight against the powerful higher civilization.

This setting alone is enough to make the audience excited and want to watch the movie.

Not to mention, this is Xu Nan's work, with four top stars joining it.

Coupled with strong publicity, "Sweep the Alliance" became a hit before it was aired.

At the same time, insiders also discussed the film.

Unlike the audience, insiders are more concerned about the technicality and feasibility of the film.

"Captain China, Spider-Man, Glare Man, and Lightning Mother, four superheroes gather together to fight against the enemy. This is the first time this idea has appeared."

"The four leading actors are all top-notch, especially Mimi Shishi and Liu Yifei, who are known as the Three Beauties of the Immortal Sword."

The so-called "Three Beauties of Sword and Fairy" refers to the fact that these three people have all appeared in the TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". They also relied on this TV series to become popular, so they got this title.

These three female celebrities are well-known in the industry and have always stood firm after many years of ups and downs.

Although Lin Hongxiu is a bit inferior, due to her white, rich and beautiful character and the foot-washing water incident, she is also a star with high national popularity.

Four top actors are filming together. This lineup alone is enough to make many directors drool.

If it were an ordinary director, it would be difficult to hire just one, let alone four.

"With four of them together, how much box office will it take to satisfy them?"

"Starting from three billion, four billion is not impossible."

"He is indeed a great director."

"I have to say that Xu Nan really dares to shoot this kind of plot. Only a great director like him can shoot this kind of plot. If it were an ordinary director, he wouldn't be able to attract investment."

"Yes, only great directors can shoot, ordinary directors can't hold it down at all."

Some people couldn't help but question.

"The gathering of four top actors is a great gimmick, but the question is how to allocate the roles, and whether there may be confusion in the focus."

"Yes, there is still a second round, whose name is at the front, and a lot of questions. Thinking about it makes me feel dizzy."

"The most important thing is, can this kind of group portrait movie really be made well?"

There are many voices of doubt.

Mainly, this kind of group portrait movie is really difficult to shoot.

The first and most important point is, who should you focus on?

Of the four major female stars, in an ordinary movie, any one of them is the absolute protagonist. If you let them film together, how should the roles be allocated to satisfy them?

This is no joke. Some young stars will bleed like rivers of blood for the sake of their position. They will be on trending searches. Top stars will only value this more than they do.

If coordination is not done well, the filming and post-production of the film will definitely run into big trouble, and the quality of the film will inevitably be affected.

Also, can the audience accept this style?

In a group portrait movie, several former protagonists are crowded together. Who is the focus, and who is more important?

It feels like no matter who the focus is on, it’s not satisfying and it’s hard for the audience to get involved.

In fact, many people have tried to shoot group portrait movies in the past, but the final result was a mess.

The reason is very simple. It is too difficult for the audience to get involved in group-portrait movies. Most viewers watch movies just for the pleasure of watching them. If the audience of group-portraits movies does not even have anyone to engage with, how can it be enjoyable?

Moreover, the difficulty of shooting group portrait movies is higher than that of ordinary movies. If the director's skills are slightly inferior, the movie will become a hodgepodge and the whole process will be incomprehensible.

It's true that Xu Nan is a great director, but no one knows whether he can make this kind of movie well.

A certain director spoke.

"I think you are a bit pessimistic. Xu Nan is still very capable. I haven't heard of any unpleasant incidents during the filming. This shows that he can suppress these stars. The quality of the film is probably not low."

"Will the audience accept this style? Filming is only the first step in a long journey. Whether the audience can accept it is the key to the success of the film."

"I think Xu Nan should have thought about this issue a long time ago. After all, he is a great director. It is impossible that he has not thought about it. Since he dares to shoot like this, he must be certain."

"Great directors are not necessarily reliable. Xu Nan has succeeded so many times. He may have drifted off and started to ignore objective laws. It's hard to say whether he can succeed this time."

There is a serious debate among people in the industry. Some people believe that Xu Nan can continue his previous success, while others think that he will most likely fail.

The main reason is that this movie is a rare group portrait movie in the industry, otherwise most people would be very optimistic about it.

If it were an ordinary director who dared to go out of his way to make a group portrait movie, he would definitely be looking for death.

But if it were a great director like Xu Nan, everyone felt that it might be successful.

However, no one knows how successful it will be.

It should be no problem to get back your money, and it shouldn’t be a problem to make money.

More, then no one knows.

Xu Nan quickly learned about the discussion within the circle.

It's pretty good, not as bad as before.

After all, he has succeeded too many times. Even if someone wants to question it, they dare not speak too highly of it after thinking about his glorious record.

On the other hand, they say that group portrait movies are difficult to make and the probability of success is very low. What they say is indeed very reasonable.

It is indeed difficult to make group portrait movies because it is difficult for ordinary directors to grasp the key points clearly.

It is true that the probability of success is very low. Group portrait movies are indeed more difficult than ordinary movies.

Many people only know that Marvel's "Avengers" was a huge success and ushered in the glorious era of the superhero movie universe. But they don't know that a long time ago, someone in Hollywood tried to bring together the protagonists of several movies to film. It was a group portrait movie, but in the end the response was mediocre.

Because the shooting requirements for group portrait movies are very high, ordinary directors cannot shoot well at all. For example, in the Justice League universe, there are obviously very popular superheroes such as Batman and Superman, but the final assembly of the Justice League still has no splash.

Therefore, people in the industry are right not to be optimistic about Xu Nan. The difficulty of group portrait movies is indeed too high.

But the problem is that Xu Nan didn't make the decision at once, but stood on the shoulders of giants and absorbed Marvel's successful experience before deciding to make "Sweep the Alliance".

For this movie, for the superhero movie universe in his mind, Xu Nan has been laying the groundwork and layout since the filming of his first blockbuster "Captain China". Until now, he has been working hard for it for several years. .

Xu Nan has already laid the foundation with several superhero movies, and the fruit is already ripe, just waiting for him to pick it.

Therefore, "Sweep the Alliance" is destined to succeed.

It’s just that people in the industry don’t know this.

They are still struggling with the difficulty of filming group portrait movies and the difficulty of audiences accepting it, but they don't know that Xu Nan is only a thin line away from success, and it is just a matter of peeling off a layer of window paper.

On the Internet, there are more and more discussions about the eleven movies.

Netizens can’t wait.

September 28th.

September 29th.

September 30th.

October 1st.

Finally, the time has come.

With the country on holiday, viewers got a hard-earned break.

In the cinema, movies that had been prepared for a long time were released online at the same time.

On this day, Lin Zhiyao took his family to a high-end cinema with a private environment to watch Xu Nan's movie "Sweeping the Alliance"

Lin Lanzhou had a very bad impression of Xu Nan and was a bit rude in his remarks.

"It is necessary to run over and watch it as soon as possible. I think it is better to wait at home for a while, so as not to make it like "Captain China" again."

Lin Ziyi immediately said: "Shut up, I believe Xu Nan won't let us. The quality of "Sweep the Alliance" will definitely not be bad."

Lin Lanzhou rolled his eyes. No wonder some people said that the married daughter was throwing water. Lin Ziyi and Xu Nan were just colleagues, so they started to criticize his biological brother.

"I believed in him just like you last time, and then I was tricked by this guy."

"Yes, Hongxiu."

Lin Lanzhou looked at Lin Hongxiu.

"I feel like Xu Nan should be serious this time, and he should change his ways." Lin Hongxiu said calmly.

Lin Lanzhou felt incredible: "No, Hongxiu, you have been fed the ecstasy soup. You have been tricked once and you still speak for him."

Lin Zhiyao said decisively: "Stop arguing. It only takes two hours. We will know when the time comes."

While talking, several people came to the screening room.

This was a private cinema, reserved for the upper class, and there was no one else in the cinema except their family.

Naturally, this kind of cinema equipment is also the best, ensuring the most perfect movie-watching experience, which is completely incomparable to ordinary cinemas.

Not long after, the big screen lit up and the movie Sweeping the Alliance officially started playing.

It started with a commercial from Summit Films.

Then, a clip from the movie "Captain China" appeared on the screen.

Looking at the image of his sister, Lin Lanzhou raised his eyebrows: "Wow."

"Shut up."

Lin Hongxiu angrily stuffed a handful of popcorn into Lin Lanzhou's mouth.

In fact, the Captain China plot at the beginning only lasted just over a minute after being edited by Xu Nan, and it looked very exciting.

But for Lin Hongxiu, this was his own dark history, and he felt an inexplicable sense of shame when he saw it.

Fortunately, this episode didn't last long, and it quickly moved on to the next episode, a clip from the "Spider-Man" movie.

Then film clips from "The Staring Man" and "The Lightning Mother" appeared one after another.

These few minutes of footage can allow viewers who have not watched Xu Nan's previous superhero movies to understand the basic situations of several superheroes, and those who have watched it can also rekindle related memories.

After several movie clips were played, the official plot finally began.

The plot picks up right where the last superhero movie ended.

The Emperor of Heaven fell into a deep sleep, and the supreme power of Heaven was controlled by several great gods.

After the Lightning Mother Liu Peiniang regained her supernatural power, she did not choose to return to heaven, but stayed on earth.

Because she has feelings for this land.

Through the turmoil caused by the Lightning Mother, Tianting was surprised to find that the spiritual energy on the Ancestral Star had begun to recover again.

You must know that Heaven itself originated from the earth. If it were not for the exhaustion of the earth's spiritual energy, they would not have migrated away.

Now that they learned that the earth's aura had recovered, they immediately started discussing it.

The depths of the infinite universe.

Heaven stands proudly in the void.

In the grand Lingxiao Palace, several heavenly gods gathered together.

"The spiritual energy on the ancestral star has revived."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

"Then us"

Thor immediately said: "The Ancestral Star is our hometown, of course we must reoccupy it again."

"good."

"It does have to be like this."

After some discussion, several great gods made the decision to occupy the Ancestral Star.

Because that's their hometown.

But it is not that easy to reoccupy the Ancestral Star.

Thousands of years of wandering have made them very far away from their ancestral star, with a long distance in between.

This section of the road is difficult to cross.

at the same time.

On Earth, a mysterious underground space.

Xiang Liu, an organization that has been pursuing the lost mythical civilization, once again used the formation to try to contact the heaven.

They have done this kind of thing many times before, with the purpose of obtaining the teachings from heaven and cultivating themselves to become gods.

But this kind of contact is not successful every time. It is successful once or twice occasionally. Heavenly Court rarely pays attention to a small organization that appears out of nowhere.

But this time, things have changed.

After learning that the spiritual energy on the ancestral star was revived, Heaven finally began to look squarely at the Xiangliu organization.

This time the contact was very successful.
