This director only makes bad movies

Chapter 368 Launch Conference

Listening to Xu Nan's deception, Paris couldn't help but nodded.

If it were an unknown director who came to her and told her that he could make her famous, Paris would never believe it, but if it were Xu Nan, his words would be inexplicably very credible.

This can make Cameron crazy. A director who is famous in the United States, he naturally has an aura.

And Xu Nan has indeed made several people famous.

"Titanic 2" was criticized by the entire Internet in the United States because she looked too ugly, and she was hailed as the ugliest actress.

Many people felt that the actress had ruined the good memories that Ruth had left in their hearts.

Many people scolded this actress, and this actress was indeed scolded very miserably.

But she became famous and was known throughout the country. During this period, she frequently participated in shows and made money like crazy.

The most speechless thing is that the heroine of "Titanic 2" by genuine director Cameron is not as popular as the actress in the pirated movie.

There is also the girl from China who starred in a 150 million US dollar big production. Paris also checked it out and found that it does exist. Although the way she became popular is a bit strange, she is indeed popular and she is also well-known abroad. .

Even the actresses who starred in Xu Nan's previous knockoff films have a certain degree of popularity, at least more popular than her.

When she thought of this, Paris couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart. After hesitating for a long time, she finally nodded.

"Okay, I am willing to be the heroine of this movie. I hope you will not forget what you just said and make me famous."

Xu Nan immediately promised: "Paris, please believe me, I guarantee that you will become popular and at least become a first-line star."

After saying that, Xu Nan struck while the iron was hot and signed a contract with Paris.

Paris is a new actor. She has only played a minor supporting role in one movie before. She is not well-known and her salary cannot be too high.

Even though Paris was the protagonist, Xu Nan still only gave her a salary of 10,000 US dollars, which was considered a bargain price.

Paris doesn't care about this. If she really wanted to make money, she wouldn't have come to the entertainment industry. It would be easier to make money when she went back to inherit the family business.

She just wants to be famous, making money is secondary.

After signing the contract, Xu Nan explained to Paris the key points of filming the movie, and also boasted about how promising his movie was and how vast the market was.

When he boasted like this, it was as if this low-budget spoof film was a box office hit and Paris became a huge hit right before his eyes.

Paris is young, just twenty years old, and she actually eats the cakes drawn by Xu Nan. She beams with joy when she is told that she can't help but start to dream about what she will be like after she becomes famous.

After being beaten to death, Paris left with the script full of motivation. She wanted to go back and study the script carefully and try to surprise Xu Nan with her superb acting skills.

Xu Nan expressed his expectation for this. In fact, he didn't care about Paris' acting skills at all.

With so many copycat films made, the tolerance for actors' acting skills has inevitably become much higher, and spoof films actually don't really require any acting skills, just passable.

After Paris left, Xu Nan began to find actors for the remaining roles in the film.

The casting of these roles can be said to be very easy. No one refused, not even anyone who needed Xu Nan to persuade.

Paris is fair and beautiful and valuable to the movie, so Xu Nan will try his best to persuade her to star in the movie. If other actors are unwilling, Xu Nan will replace them without saying a word.

Fortunately, these actors knew very well that this opportunity was hard to come by, so they agreed directly, even if the film's pay was very low.

Soon, the preparations for the film were successfully completed, and Xu Nan began to prepare for the launch conference.

It's funny to say that Xu Nan has made several movies in the United States and can be considered an experienced director in terms of experience, but this is his first time to hold a press conference.

Mainly because the ones he shot before were all fake films, so it was unnecessary and impossible to hold a launch press conference.

Otherwise, if the reporter asks you how you plan to get involved, the scene will become very awkward.

This time it was different. Xu Nan was shooting a normal movie. Although it was a low-cost spoof, it had all the things that a normal movie should have, and the launch conference was an indispensable part of it.

Because if a movie wants to sell at the box office, it needs to be promoted. In the past, Xu Nan made a copycat film, which could be promoted by big productions, but this time he made an original spoof film, and there was no movie for him to do so. Now, he needs to find a way to promote it himself.

From the start of filming, to the completion of filming, to the release of the film, every aspect of promotion is indispensable.

Of the movie cost, two million in promotional expenses will be spent at this time.

There is also the issue of distribution, which is an inevitable aspect of every movie, but fortunately he has established good relationships with the three major theaters and can get a good schedule.

The preparation for the opening press conference is very simple, just find a hotel and inform the media of the news.

For an unknown director, it may be difficult to invite the media, because the director is not famous and the public is not interested.

If the public is not interested, it means it has no news value, and the media will naturally not be interested.

But if it were Xu Nan, all he needed to do was to inform him. Like sharks that smelled something fishy, ​​the media rushed over like crazy. The news also caused a sensation in the industry.

"Have you heard that Chinese director Xu Nan is going to hold a press conference?"

"Are you going to reveal the inside story about the real and fake movie case?"

"No, no, no, it seems to be about his new movie."

"Which big-budget movie does his new movie want to hit?"

"I don't know about that. I'll have to wait until I ask him at the press conference."

"We can also ask him questions about the case, which will definitely be of interest to the audience."

"Hurry up and buy your tickets. If you go late, you may not get a good seat."

Similar news spread among the major media, and a large number of reporters flocked to it. Many savvy people called the company for consultation, and some even stayed in advance to get the inside story before their peers.

Xu Nan ignored these anxious reporters and only waited for the day when the press conference began.

At the same time, he did not forget to send a tweet to warm up his fans.

"My fans, I have good news for you. My new movie is in preparation and will start filming soon. I believe you will be able to see this movie in the cinema soon. Believe me, you will see it in the cinema. After this movie, you will definitely be very surprised, because this movie is very 'special'."
