This director only makes bad movies

Xu Nan was a little surprised when he received a call from Lin Ziyi.

He was about to call Lin Ziyi, but he didn't expect Lin Ziyi to come to him.

Xu Nan answered the phone: "What's the matter?"

Lin Ziyi's slightly hoarse voice came from the phone: "Are you interested in making a copycat movie?"

Xu Nan raised his eyebrows and had a guess in his mind, but his voice was deliberately filled with doubts: "Which movie?"

Lin Ziyi said: "Titanic 2."

Xu Nan laughed, it was actually this movie.

When he saw Lin Ziyi calling him, he had a guess in his mind, but he didn't expect it to come true.

Isn't that a coincidence?

Xu Nan was absolutely convinced, but her voice remained calm: "That's Cameron, and it's the sequel to Big Ship."

Lin Ziyi smiled: "What about Cameron?"

Cameron has a high status in the industry, so Lin Ziyi never thought about letting Xu Nan touch his movies before. She even considered persuading Xu Nan to keep a low profile and never seek death.

It's okay to touch others, but it's easy to cause public outrage if you touch Cameron.

But take a look at the conditions put forward by Cameron.

Go to hell Cameron, you are the one who got into trouble.

I really thought the theater chain had lost its temper, right?

Lin Ziyi has already thought about arranging midnight screenings and underworld screenings for Cameron's movies when the movie is released.

Then Xu Nan's porcelain movie was arranged at a good time and location, specifically to disgust Cameron.

This is the fate of provocative theaters.

Xu Nan's voice was very hesitant: "Zi Yi, I'm not questioning you, I just think the risk is too great."

"Other movies are just as good as each other, but this movie is different."

"This is Cameron, and this movie is also the sequel to Big Ship. Audiences around the world are eagerly awaiting it."

"Then you let me touch porcelain. The risk is too great."

Xu Nan's voice was hesitant, as if he really thought so.

And his words are very convincing, after all, this is Cameron.

"You're so scared." Lin Ziyi couldn't help but uttered a curse word: "In China, you have messed with so many movies, and here in the United States, the three giants of Fox, Warner, and Paramount have been messed with in turn. , now you tell me that you don’t dare anymore, what have you already done?”

"That's different." Xu Nan's voice was full of grievance: "Cameron is different from others. If he were another director, would he dare to ask for 50% of the box office share from your theater chain?"

"If netizens knew that I dared to touch the god of directors in their eyes, they wouldn't come up with a trick to make me think."

"Don't talk to me about this. Just tell me whether you want to make it or not. If you don't make it, the worst I can do is find someone else to make it. Imperial Cinemas also has a film and television company, so it's not like we can't make movies."

Xu Nan sighed and reluctantly said: "Since you said so, then I can't do it without filming. After all, I am also the originator of this type of film. If I am timid, it will not be justified."

"Where are you now? I'm going to find you."

Lin Ziyi reported her address and then hung up the phone.

As soon as the phone was hung up, Xu Nan smiled.

Someone sent him a pillow just as he dozed off. After filming the movie, he was struggling with how to communicate with the theaters to let them release it. Unexpectedly, Lin Ziyi took the initiative to call him.

During this time, he had also heard about the conflict between the theater and Cameron, and even this matter was leaked and spread on the Internet. It can be imagined how fierce the struggle between the two sides was.

Without even thinking about it, the theater chain must have been annoyed by Cameron's arrogant attitude, so Lin Ziyi called him and took the initiative to let him do it.

The other two theater chains probably had similar attitudes, and were equally angry with Cameron.

This is good news for him and gives him room to perform.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for his movie to be released in theaters.

But now the theaters are very dissatisfied with Cameron, so getting it to theaters may not be a problem. The theaters may even take the initiative to add additional movies to his copycat movie, specifically to disgust Cameron.

Even his plan to fake the real thing has the possibility of being implemented.

What about Cameron?

You are the one who is in trouble.

Xu Nan brought the edited film, as well as a series of documents such as the Titanic film and television adaptation rights, and took a car to the headquarters of Imperial Cinemas.

Soon, he met Lin Ziyi in the president's office.

"Give me a nice word, do you want to shoot or not?" Lin Ziyi asked directly without any courtesy.

"No rush, you should take a look at this first." Xu Nan took out the movie USB flash drive he had prepared.

There are equipment inside the Imperial Cinemas to watch movies directly, and the playback effect is top-notch, no worse than in movie theaters.

Lin Ziyi wanted to ask the company's executives to watch it together, but Xu Nan stopped her.

His plan must be kept strictly confidential. Once the information is leaked, it will not achieve the desired effect.

The screen lights up, there is no film company logo, no cast and crew, and the movie gets down to business as soon as it starts.

Seeing the familiar shoddy beginning, the expression of Lin Ziyi, who has experienced many battles, did not change.

As the boss of a theater chain, she has seen countless bad movies and many knock-off movies, but she cannot be moved by similar shoddy beginnings.

To put it harshly, when it comes to unsightliness, knock-off porcelain tiles can’t even be ranked high.

But as she watched, her expression soon began to change.

Why does this plot look so familiar?

As the plot of the movie progressed, Lin Ziyi's expression began to change. When she saw the big ship named Titanic 2, she finally couldn't help it.

"Is this a copycat version of Titanic?"

"Yes." Xu Nan smiled and nodded.

Lin Ziyi glanced at Xu Nan: "You are too hypocritical. On the phone before, you said, 'This is Cameron, this is the sequel to Big Ship'" with a frightened look, but then turned around and gave me a complete movie Movie."

"You've already taken the photo of the co-author, and you're just waiting to show it to me."

Xu Nan's expression remained unchanged: "Isn't this just to test your determination? Cameron's status is not ordinary."

"Ha." Lin Ziyi snorted coldly.

Hypocritical guy.

He had obviously decided to date Cameron long ago, but the result was this reaction.

The plot of the movie continued. When she saw a man and a woman getting on the boat and starting to fall in love, and both men and women were ugly, Lin Ziyi felt that there was no need to watch anymore.

She stood up.

"Why don't you continue reading? The content behind is very exciting." Xu Nan asked.

"I won't watch it anymore. Just know that this is a copycat version of Titanic. I'm not interested in the rest of it."

Lin Ziyi shook her head.

Not everyone likes copycat movies. In fact, there are only a few people who like this type of movie, and most people are still indifferent to this type of movie.

Xu Nan regretfully closed the movie and pulled out the USB flash drive to prevent the source of the film from being leaked.

"Pity."

This movie is the product of his hard work. If Cameron's Titanic praises freedom and love, then his movie is just the opposite. It is anti-freedom and anti-love, which contains his profound ideological connotations.

After all, he is also a director and has a desire for expression.

For other movies, it is enough to shoot step by step, but for Cameron, it must add some specifications and grades. The cost of this movie even reached a record-breaking one million US dollars, which can be said to be a huge hemorrhage.

With such high standards, it can be seen how much Xu Nan attaches great importance to this movie.

It's such a pity that Lin Ziyi doesn't want to watch it.

When the two returned to the office, Lin Ziyi said directly without being polite: "I suggest you that this movie be released at the same time as Cameron's."

"Don't worry, it won't affect your movie schedule. I guarantee that I will give you the best possible movie schedule. I can even convince AMC Cinemas and Disney Cinema to release your movie together and give you a generous movie schedule."

Imperial Cinemas has shares in Nanhai Film and Television, and Xu Nan and she are fellow villagers, so Lin Ziyi has no scruples about what she says.

Xu Nan smiled: "Don't rush about the release. I have an idea. You should listen to it first."

"you say."

"What do you think of my movie being called "Titanic 2"? When it is released at the same time as Cameron's, the audience will not be able to tell which movie is which."

"You can even deliberately not let Cameron's "Titanic 2" be released and only release my movie, causing Cameron to suffer a big loss."

Lin Ziyi's eyes lit up.

Xu Nan's idea is so bold, just thinking about it makes it very exciting.

Think about it, Cameron is very proud and looking forward to the movie that he has worked hard to shoot and work hard to receive rave reviews and a box office hit after it is released.

But in fact, the movie shown in the theater was not his "Titanic 2" at all, but the copycat "Titanic 2" shot by Xu Nan.

The audience thought they were seeing a classic masterpiece shot by Cameron, but what they actually saw was Xu Nan's copycat film.

This is not a kind of NTR.

But soon, Lin Ziyi shook her head.

"It's impossible. The name Cameron has been registered a long time ago. Your movie title won't pass the review at all, and it's also illegal."

"This trick of yours won't work at all."

Xu Nan said in a deep voice: "You don't need to worry about the legal issues. I will solve them myself. As for the name registration, I will definitely not be able to handle it, but what if the three major cinema chains of you join forces to help me?"

Lin Ziyi pondered: "It is certainly not a problem for the three major theater chains to join forces, but your idea is too bold and is simply a fraud."

Xu Nan smiled: "That's not the point. The point is that all three of your theater chains are very dissatisfied with Cameron. He wants to increase the box office share, which is tantamount to harming the interests of the theater chains."

"If others follow suit, theater chains will lose a lot of money in the future."

"In this case, let's just stop doing it and let others know the consequences of offending the theater chain."

Lin Ziyi frowned and thought.
