Chapter 45: I'm Not That Director

Li Hua, who got the answer, sat down satisfied.

This time, Xu Nan's reply was still very good, very decent, and very polite.

Compared to the arrogance of the last press conference, this time it was like a different person.

"Hello Director Xu Nan, I am a reporter from Ocean Entertainment, since you also admit that your company has filmed bad movies before, then you know that it is a bad movie and still shoots it, and if it is released in theaters, you will not feel ashamed, sorry for the audience."

"Ahem." Xu Nan coughed: "Although the movie I made is bad, in fact, the quality is still passable, but the service is a little worse, the story is also complete, and the audience will not feel wasted time when they go to the cinema to watch the movie." ”

"This can be seen from the reaction of some viewers, who said that the movie was very good, and they watched it several times in a row."

A reporter from Ocean Entertainment asked: "So you think the bad movie you made is not exactly a bad movie, right?" ”

"Next question."

"Hello Director Xu, I'm from Orange Entertainment, you just said that the new movie "Captain China" was created by you after five years of painstaking work, can you tell me what kind of story this movie tells, and how much does it cost to shoot."

Xu Nan took the microphone and replied: "I can tell you about the shooting cost first, 100 million, the cost is 100 million." ”

There was a commotion in the press gallery.

At present, there are few domestic films with a box office of more than 100 million, and the cost of 100 million is a very small number of big productions.

Strictly speaking, the production cost of 100 million yuan can already be called a top big production, if Xu Nan invites one or two first-line stars to join, it will be a real top big production.

Many reporters silently recorded this information.

This news alone is worth the ticket price.

Lin Hongsleeve, who was sitting next to him, flashed a trace of doubt in his big eyes.

Didn't you say that the production cost was 50 million, why did it suddenly cost 100 million?

Xu Nan continued to reply: "As for the story of the movie, it is very simple, an anti-Japanese story, but the audience is tired of the old-fashioned anti-Japanese story, so I introduced new elements and new concepts in it, that is, superheroes. ”

"What is a superhero, as the name suggests, is an existence beyond ordinary people, and such an existence will inevitably bring subversive changes to traditional anti-Japanese films."

"Of course, I can't reveal too much about the specific plot because of confidentiality, and after the movie is released, everyone can go to the cinema to experience it for themselves."

"But I can assure you that this movie will definitely not disappoint you."

After answering this question, soon another reporter stood up.

"Hello Director Xu Nan, many viewers are curious now, how much money did you make through the first two movies, can you tell us."

Xu Nan nodded: "No problem, I don't have anything to hide from the audience, the first movie "Sunny Riverside Picture", the box office is 130 million, and the streaming media copyright is more than 10 million. ”

"As for "Taoist Bian Shan", this movie has not yet been released, and judging from the current box office trend, the revenue will not be less than 10 million."

For ordinary film companies and directors, the real benefit is, of course, to hide it, even if they have to say it, they will try to be vague, that is, they don't give people an accurate figure.

After all, wealth is not exposed.

But Xu Nan didn't need to do this, for him, the director with the highest return rate was a good gimmick that could be used to maintain his fame.

The reporters were very satisfied with Xu Nan's unpretentious answer.

Just like this kind of honest people, and the audience must also like this answer.

Because the audience is all layman, they are all concerned about money.

"Hello Director Xu Nan..."

Another reporter stood up and asked Xu Nan a question.

It's strange to say, obviously the top traffic Lin Hongsleeve is sitting next to him, but the focus of the reporters is on Xu Nan.

It was a long time before someone asked.

"Xu Nan, why did you choose Lin Hongsleeve as the starring role, as far as I know, she doesn't have any acting experience, are you sure that letting Lin Hongsleeve play the leading role will have a good impact on the movie?"

Speaking of this, Lin Hongsleeve was a little nervous, and his expression was a little solemn.

Xu Nan's expression remained unchanged: "Let Lin Hongsleeve play the leading role, it is a decision I made after careful consideration, you may not believe it, in fact, my script is based on Lin Hongsleeve as the prototype." ”

"She's the heroine in my mind, and no one is right but her. I don't know what you think of Lin Hongsleeve, but I have a good impression of her, in her eyes, I see a kind of awe and yearning for performance, I believe that she will not drag the crew back in this state. ”

"What's more, there are many old actors in the crew, they are experienced, I believe that with their leadership, Lin Hongsleeve will soon enter the play."

Lin Hongsleeve next to him smiled when he heard it, and he was very happy.

It seems that because of this question, the reporter noticed Lin Hongsleeve, and someone immediately asked her.

"Hello Miss Lin Hongsleeve, there was news before that you were in contact with those big directors in the circle, why did you choose Summit Film and Television and Xu Nan in the end."

It is not the first time that Lin Hongsleeve has been interviewed, she has had a similar experience, and in the face of reporters' questions, she answered appropriately.

"Because Director Xu Nan is very sincere, in order to invite me to star in his movie, he took the initiative to meet me and try to persuade me."

"When the two of us met, he took out the script directly, and at the same time attached a storyboard, as soon as I saw the image of Yan Hongying, I liked it. At that time, I felt that this role was very good, and I must play it. ”

The reporter asked again: "Lin Hongsleeve, you don't have any acting experience, do you think you can play a good role?" ”

Lin Hongsleeve nodded: "I think I can, maybe as a newcomer, I will be a little uncomfortable, but I will work hard." ”

"Everyone is coming from a newcomer, and since others can, then I must be able too."

The reporter nodded and sat down.

Soon another reporter stood up and asked: "There are rumors that the reason why you can star in Xu Nan's new movie is because you brought money into the group, may I ask if this statement is true or false." ”

Without waiting for Lin Hongsleeve to answer, Xu Nan directly retorted: "Rumors, they are definitely rumors, there is no such thing as bringing capital into the group at all, all the funds for "Captain China" were raised by me, and they have nothing to do with Lin Hongsleeve. ”

"Here I want to solemnly declare that as a director, I have strict requirements for the quality of my films, and if Lin Hongsleeve can't meet my standards, I will never let her play the leading role."

"Let's just put it this way, I'm not the kind of director who compromises for money, absolutely not."
