Chapter 244: The Hobbit and the Hobbit Era
The actual situation of the United States gave Xu Nan a head-on blow.
What he thought before was still too simple, with the obstacle of the cinema line, it is not so easy to shoot the copycat touching the porcelain piece.
But after careful consideration, Xu Nan finally decided to shoot the copycat porcelain.
This is the main purpose of his coming to the United States, it is impossible to change, blockbuster or something, in fact, he also wants to shoot, but the success rate is very low.
The tastes of the American audience and the domestic audience are completely different, and he may not even conquer the domestic audience, let alone the American audience.
There may be a genius in this world who can conquer the world with a movie, but it is certainly not him.
Blockbusters mean big productions, high investment, but also high risk.
He is not well-known in the United States, he can't make any investment, and it is impossible for him to invest himself, otherwise he will cry to death if he loses.
It's good to touch porcelain tiles in a cottage, the cost is very low, there is no pressure for him to invest alone, and the probability of making money is very high.
The three major cinema chains in the United States occupy 80% of the market, and these three major cinema chains will definitely ignore him.
But it doesn't matter, he can go to those small theater chains, which still have 20% of the market share.
There is also an advantage of small theaters, the grade is relatively low, and the profit pressure they face is high, so the festival value will also be very low, and there is a high probability that they will agree to the release of copycat porcelain films.
If you really can't get on the theater, then it doesn't matter, you can find a video tape company, as well as a streaming media company.
The video tape company here in the United States is called Pepsi, and the streaming media is called Netflix, which has been acquiring movie rights for a long time.
Compared with China, there is one more channel for selling copyrights on the side of the United States.
Party culture is very popular here in the United States, a large number of people gather together, watching movies is a very good choice, and showing movies on videotapes is very popular here.
Not to mention streaming Netflix, a cutting-edge film and television giant is very eager for movie copyrights.
If Xu Nan's copycat porcelain film can't be released in theaters, he can still choose to sell it to a video tape company or a streaming media platform, which can be said to be double insurance, and the chance of losing money is very small.
Copycat porcelain is this good, low cost, high probability of profit, even if it is a loss, it doesn't matter, he can afford to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars.
If it is successful, the benefits will be too great, which means that the business model of copycat porcelain tiles is still feasible in the United States, and he can make a lot of money continuously.
It's still dollars, knife music.
Do what you think.
Xu Nan immediately began to recruit people and prepare to make a movie.
Before making a movie, he first went online to check if there were any big-budget movies to be released in Mi recently.
The bigger the production, the better, the more well-known, and the better it is to touch porcelain.
After rushing on the Internet for a while, Xu Nan quickly found his target.
The movie "The Hobbit".
This is a big-budget magic movie produced by Fox Film and Television and directed by James, which is a favorable contender for the annual box office championship, and in terms of popularity, it is not much worse than "Dragonfly 3".
The full name of The Hobbit is The Lord of the Rings: The Hobbit, and as the name suggests, the film is part of the Lord of the Rings series.
The Lord of the Rings, that is a world-famous big IP, a few years ago the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the box office of each movie is higher than the other, and it is a well-known hit movie.
After three years, the "Hobbit" of the Lord of the Rings is coming, and you don't have to think about it, this movie will definitely be very high at the box office.
Even if the quality of this movie is rubbish, in the name of the Lord of the Rings series, a large number of viewers will watch this movie without brains.
Similarly, the popularity of this movie on the Internet is very high, and the publicity can be said to be overwhelming, and it can almost be called well-known.
With such a high heat, it's a pity not to touch porcelain.
It's you, The Hobbit.
Xu Nan has thought of the name of the movie, and it will be called "The Hobbit Era".
He wants to let the people of the United States feel the shock from China.
In the next few days, Xu Nan began to prepare for the copycat movie.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.
First of all, he took the time to read all the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and by the way, he also read the original book of this movie, so that he knew it by heart.
Then he spent an evening creating a script.
The content of this script can be said to be simple and crude, and it has almost nothing to do with the original book.
But it doesn't matter, the name is pretty much the same, the content doesn't matter at all.
The core of the cottage porcelain piece is to touch the porcelain, even if it is a mess, it doesn't matter.
Of course, Xu Nan is a disciplined person, even if it is a copycat touching porcelain, he will work hard to shoot it well.
That's his ethics.
So this script is very smooth, the rhythm is also good, and it must be a qualified movie if it is shot normally.
The premise is to shoot normally.
With the script in hand, the next step is to make a movie.
First of all, he took some time to register a film and television company, and then found a middleman to complete all the relevant procedures for making movies.
With these things done, the next step is to form a crew to really make a movie.
In this process, Xu Nan encountered many difficulties.
He is alone, and when he comes to the United States to make movies, it is easy to be slaughtered as a wronged man.
No matter where you are, it's easy to bully strangers.
But at this time, Xu Nan's advantage of shooting cottage porcelain pieces came out.
If someone wants to cease him at a high price, he can immediately change to another one.
Anyway, there are no quality requirements for this movie.
He specially invited a producer in the industry, named George, although he is not very famous, he has rich experience and some connections in the circle, the point is that Xu Nan's requirements are very low, so it is easy to pull up a crew.
But this kind of temporary construction and very average staff capacity, you don't expect them to make high-quality movies.
Xu Nan didn't care about this, he had made three movies anyway, and with him, the crew could hold up, and he didn't expect too much from the people he recruited from the beginning.
To put it mildly, he can make a movie by himself, but the quality will be rubbish.
He still wants to make a few more films, so he definitely can't do that.
As for these crew members, let's just bring more dishes.
Producer George is very optimistic about this crew, and he is also very optimistic about the movie that Xu Nan is going to make.
When he first saw the script, he felt that the movie was actually okay, at least qualified.
But after watching the shooting plan, he didn't expect anything from this movie.
However, in a responsible manner, he still reminded: "Xu, the cost of this movie is too low, it is impossible to make a good movie, and the probability of loss is very high." ”
Xu Nan patted George's shoulder: "Thank you for reminding George, I know it in my heart." ”
