Chapter 191: It's a Magical Country

"Hmm."

Hearing Xu Nan greet him in English, Robert nodded.

The two sat down.

Robert asked directly: "I heard that you achieved a billion box office with only one million production costs, is this true?" ”

Xu Nan nodded: "There is an element of luck in this." ”

Robert questioned: "Did you really only use a million costs?" ”

He doesn't want to believe that the cost of one million, the box office of one billion, this ratio is too exaggerated.

Everyone is interested in being small, but it's a miracle to be so big.

Xu Nan noticed the doubt in Robert's tone, and said with a light smile: "In fact, there are exaggerated costs in it, and some of the actors' salaries and expenses are deliberately low, and the publicity costs are not included." ”

Robert's heart instantly felt comfortable.

That's right, if the Huaxia director can casually achieve a billion box office at a cost of one million, then what else is he messing with.

Sure enough, it was boasted, and his guess was not wrong.

"Can you tell us what the real cost is?" Robert asked, "I'm really curious. ”

Xu Nan smiled and said an exaggerated number.

The smile on Robert's face deepened, and his heart suddenly relaxed.

With this topic, the two chatted happily.

They are all directors and film and television workers, and they have many common topics.

Chatting and chatting, Robert suddenly felt that Xu Nan was very good at talking, very honest, and a very good person.

The atmosphere between the two was good.

Xu Nan took out an invitation.

"Director Robert, in fact, I came mainly to invite you to the premiere of my next film."

"The name of my movie is "Spider-Man", which was inspired after watching your "Dragonfly", and it is also a superhero film."

"Of course, my film is definitely not as good as your Dragonfly, but I still hope to have your personal guidance."

Xu Nan's eyes were very sincere, and Robert had an urge to agree directly.

But in the end, he said, "I need to look at the schedule to decide, you know, I'm busy." ”

Xu Nan nodded: "I completely understand, but I sincerely invite you to come." ”

Xu Nan's expression was so sincere that Robert made up his mind in his heart.

If you have time, take a trip.

Although this director likes to brag, he is really good.

looked at the time on the invitation, five days earlier than the release of "Dragonfly", and he was still able to find time on this date.

Just take a look at how Huaxia's superhero movies are.

And this movie was born from his "Dragonfly" inspiration.

Listen, China's billion-dollar director, inspired by his films, begged for his advice.

Although he was a director from a backward country, Robert's vanity was greatly satisfied.

Of course, Robert has never forgotten the business of his coming to China, promoting the movie "Dragonfly 3" to squeeze the box office from here to the greatest extent.

The postponement of the movie is inevitable, and what he has to do is to minimize the loss of this matter.

For this matter, Robert and Huaxia's partner company held several meetings, asking them to show all their experience and do their best to promote the news of the upcoming release of "Dragonfly 3", so that more audiences can enter the cinema.

By chance, the partner company learned that Xu Nan invited Robert to attend the premiere of the "Spider-Man" movie.

They were stunned.

"Director Robert, I must solemnly remind you that this director named Xu Nan has a very bad reputation." The owner of the partnership company reminded seriously.

Robert didn't understand: "He's not a director with a billion box office, as far as I know, in your Huaxia, there are very few directors with a billion box office, only a few." ”

"It's not like our country, more than 100 million box office directors are nothing at all."

Robert talked about the country from time to time and belittled everything in Huaxia, and the boss of the cooperative company was used to it.

He explained: "Because the movie he made was a bad movie with a very low rating, he was scolded by many netizens. ”

Robert was even more incomprehensible: "Bad movies can also achieve high box office, you shouldn't be joking with me." ”

In a highly competitive market, even good movies can be buried, let alone bad ones.

Robert was under the impression that only the best quality films could survive the fierce competition and reap the box office.

This is also the law of the market.

Isn't this the case with you Huaxia?

The boss of the cooperative company seriously told Xu Nan about the process of winning the box office, which made Robert stunned.

For the first time, he bowed down to the kingdom.

actually relied on footwash marketing to trick the audience into the cinema.

Robert thought about it.

Although this thing is very vulgar and bizarre, it seems to be really feasible.

He wanted to see the movie.

When it comes to doing it, Robert immediately used software to watch the movie "Captain China".

Looking at it, Robert was surprised to find that this is not a hero of the United States.

As a director of superhero films, he certainly knows a lot about the superheroes of the United States.

In the United States, there are a large number of superhero comics, and the heroes of the United States are the next superheroes who are on par with the popularity of Dragonfly.

Dragonfly Man has been successfully adapted into a movie, although the hero of the United States has not yet been adapted, but the copyright has been obtained by the film and television company, and the adaptation is not far away.

This "Captain China" is very similar to the heroes of the United States, which is also injected with superhero medicine, and is also fighting against foreign invaders.

Of course, the specific plot is definitely different, but the kernel is actually the same.

Robert seriously doubted that when director Xu Nan filmed "Captain China", he referred to the character of the hero of the United States, and it was not plagiarized, but it must have been borrowed.

It's this movie.

How can you shoot so badly?

Robert felt that his eyes were about to go blind, and the poor acting skills of the movie actors and the flawed plot made him frown deeply.

It's really a talent to be able to make a movie like this.

What shocked him the most was that such a garbage movie could actually achieve a box office of one billion.

Although it is mainly based on marketing, according to the boss of the cooperative company, the protagonist of this movie is a very famous person in Huaxia.

But being able to achieve a box office of one billion still makes him very puzzled.

Huaxia movies, is it so easy to make money?

With such a shoddy movie, given him a month, he was able to make ten.

It's all about making money.

What a magical country.
