This director only makes bad movies

Chapter 383 Hitting the schedule

In another office, Schneider learned that Xu Nan's new movie was about to be released.

He hesitated and informed his assistant: "On the day when Xu Nan's new movie is released, remember to book a ticket for me."

The assistant nodded immediately: "Okay director."

Not only Schneider, but also Benjamin and James, these directors who were touched by Xu Nan, all made the same decision, that is, to watch Xu Nan's movie on the day the movie was released.

As the saying goes, the people who want to know you most are often not your relatives, but your opponents.

These people who had been touched by Xu Nan did not have a good impression of Xu Nan, but this did not prevent them from spending money to buy a movie ticket to watch.

For no other reason, I simply wanted to see how this guy Xu Nan's first original movie went.

Quite curious.

It is not only the directors who have been touched by Xu Nan who have similar choices, but also many people in the industry and many ordinary viewers.

Mainly because Xu Nan is so famous in the United States, and fame can often be converted into box office.

For the same two movies, one is from a director they have never heard of, and the other is from a director they have heard of before. Most people will choose the latter.

One of the important reasons why movie theaters give Xu Nan good film schedules is because Xu Nan is very famous.

But this result is out-and-out bad news for director Gore.

"Are you sure, Xu Nan's new movie "Washington" will be released soon?" Gore couldn't help but ask the producer.

Gore is the director of the movie "The Bourne Supremacy", and this movie is about to be released. Judging from the current situation, it seems that it will conflict with Xu Nan's "Washington".

Hitting schedules is a common situation for many directors.

After all, there are only a few good schedules and only a few days to harvest the box office. After that period, even if your movie is a classic, it will be difficult to get a good box office.

Under normal circumstances, big-budget movies will confirm their schedules several months in advance, and some even confirm their schedules more than a year in advance.

The reason for this is to eliminate opponents and tell others that I have occupied this slot in advance. If you don't want to lose both sides, please move to other slots, otherwise the two of us will fight for real.

Gore's "The Bourne Supremacy" may not be qualified to be a major production, but it is also a first-line production. It is also an adaptation of a well-known best-selling novel and has a large audience.

Gore originally thought that in this not too popular period, there would be no one who wanted to compete with him, but he didn't expect that Xu Nan suddenly appeared.

Something is wrong.

You can't choose another schedule. Why do you have to choose this schedule? You think I'm a soft persimmon.

The producer shrugged helplessly: "Yes, I just got the news from the theater that Xu Nan's new work "Washington" will be released soon, just one day ahead of us."

He didn't want to conflict with Xu Nan's schedule, but they just chose this day to release the film. What could he do?

Gore looked surprised: "If my memory is correct, it seems that the filming time of his movie was not long."

The producer nodded: "Yes, from the announcement, to the completion of production, to the release, it only takes a month in total, twenty-eight days to be precise."

Gore was shocked: "Can the quality of the movie really pass the standard in such a short period of time?"

I remember that when he was shooting a movie, he was so focused on perfection that he wished he could use one day as three days, but even this time was not enough. It always felt a bit rushed, and the movie was not very satisfactory.

As a result, Xu Nan finished it in less than a month. Is this the speed of a normal person?

The producer said: "According to the news currently circulating in the circle, the quality of this film is average and it is a qualified spoof film."

Gore breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Our movie is an action movie, not a spoof movie, so it shouldn't have any impact."

The producer hesitated and said, "But I can't completely rest assured. After all, this is Xu Nan, and even Cameron has suffered a loss from him. I'm always worried that something will go wrong."

Gore was also a little unconfident: "But our schedule was determined with great difficulty and cannot be changed. Moreover, Xu Nan is good at shooting copycat films and has never shot an original film before."

"In addition, the filming time of his movie was less than a month, and it was still a spoof movie with a limited audience. Didn't you say that the reviews in the industry said that this movie was average."

Xu Nan's reputation was so great that Gore was inexplicably panicked.

After all, the man who made Cameron suffer is a director who is famous in the United States.

Why do you insist on releasing the movie at this time? It shouldn't be better to change it to another schedule, so that we don't have to collide.

The producer hesitated: "Theoretically we don't have to worry about this movie, but"

As he talked, the producer shook his head. Xu Nan was so famous that he couldn't help but pay attention to it.

Gore comforted: "Don't worry, there has never been a precedent for a spoof film to be a big hit, let alone a spoof film that was only filmed for a month."

"I admit that Xu Nan is very famous, but he became famous by filming knock-off movies."

"If you are really worried, we can go over and watch the movie when it is released."

The producer nodded: "That's all it can do."

At this time, at Nanhai Film and Television, Avi, who had been busy for a long time, returned to the company.

"Boss, I have completed all preparations, including Paris, and have communicated well."

Avi's voice was trembling with excitement.

He had a hunch that once the film promotion plan was launched, it would shock the entire United States and become another classic promotion case in Hollywood that everyone could learn from.

Xu Nan nodded: "Then let's start promoting it. Relax, it's okay to fail. The cost of our movie is only one million, so we won't lose much."

Aweili was stunned for a moment, knowing that Xu Nan could see his nervousness.

Indeed, the cost of a movie is very low, and failure will not actually result in much loss and will not affect the company.

But Avi is still eager to succeed, because this is an unprecedented publicity plan. Once successful, the harvest will be extremely huge.

Soon, the promotion began.

The first wave of promotion was very simple, with Xu Nan and Paris participating in a talk show.

There are at least dozens of similar talk shows in the United States. Some are famous throughout the country, while others are only watched by a small number of people.

The talk show that Xu Nan and Paris appeared on was not the most popular, but it could still be considered a front-line show, with considerable influence and a lot of natural viewers.

Moreover, this talk show is synchronized with the Internet and can be watched on the Internet. It can be regarded as a relatively new program format.

The Internet era has swept every corner, and TV stations can only keep pace with the times. The reason why Avi chose this TV station's talk show is because their programs are broadcast simultaneously on the Internet and TV stations.

Gray is an ordinary white man with ordinary appearance, ordinary job, and in all aspects ordinary.

On this day, he had nothing to do, turned on his mobile phone, surfed the Internet casually, clicked on a talk show, and then saw Paris Hilton sitting on the screen.

Instantly, Gray's eyes lit up.

This girl is so pretty, just the type he likes.

Instinctively, Gray's fingers stopped, and his original idea of ​​jumping to the page disappeared.

The reason why many people become obsessed with browsing on their mobile phones is because from time to time they can encounter something that makes people extremely interested.

Beauty is one of them.

"The guest we invited today is Paris Hilton. She is the granddaughter of Condra Hilton and one of the heirs of the Hilton Group. It is rumored that she can inherit tens of billions of assets."

Ten billion!

This number made Gray's breathing become heavier involuntarily, and he began to fantasize about what he could do with these ten billion.

First, buy a big villa, then buy a luxury car, and then travel around the world to enjoy yourself.

It's a pity that fantasies are always fantasies. He can't get it even if it's one million, let alone ten billion.

With a hint of regret, Gray focused his attention on Paris sitting upright on the screen.

This girl can inherit a fortune of tens of billions. To put it another way, she is a billionaire.

Moreover, she is still so young and extremely fair and beautiful.

I don’t know if it was because of the aura given to Paris by wealth. The more Gray looked at Paris, the more he fell in love with her. He thought her every move and smile was extremely moving, noble, pure, elegant and refined.

In an instant, Paris became Gray's goddess.

In fact, this is normal. Although beauty is rare, there is no shortage of it. Every year, countless beauties emerge and then disappear into oblivion.

But if beauty and wealth are combined, then it is a king-level existence that can sweep away everything.

Take the Samsung Princess as an example. In fact, when it comes to appearance, her appearance can only be said to be good at best, but with the title of heir to the conglomerate, she immediately became the goddess that countless people dreamed of.

Paris is not only beautiful, but also has an unusual identity. The two together immediately create a wonderful chemical reaction that sweeps through everything like a hurricane.

It is precisely because of Paris' identity that Xu Nan deliberately chose her to be the heroine of the movie. At this moment, her identity has played a big role in the promotion of the movie. Many people have become fans because of her appearance and identity. , and also became a potential audience for the movie.

After a brief self-introduction and small talk at the beginning, the host quickly got to the point.

"Miss Paris, I heard that you recently starred in a movie, right?"

Paris smiled and nodded, her movements elegant, showing her grace and education: "Yes, the movie is called "Washington" and it will be released next weekend."
