Chapter 246: The Stupid Chinese Director
"Xu, I must solemnly remind you." George said seriously: "When the film first appeared, the director did double as an editor, but that was when the whole industry was not perfect, and now, director and editor are completely two professions. ”
"Also, you start editing before you finish all the shots, which is simply joking about the quality of the film."
"It's going to have a devastating impact on the filmmaking, and I've never seen it in more than 20 years, or even heard of it."
George's emotions were high.
From the beginning, he didn't have much hope for the film.
But in any case, this is his first film as a producer, and it doesn't matter if the quality of the movie is bad, as long as it doesn't rot to the end.
But looking at the current operation of the Chinese director, it is clear that he is going to rot to the end.
Xu Nan smiled: "It's okay George, take it easy, I know it in my heart." ”
"There are several ghosts."
George and Xu Nan communicated seriously for a while, and then found that Xu Nan didn't plan to change at all.
He was desperate.
The real person who paid for the crew was Xu Nan, and it was Xu Nan who really made the decisions, he had to go his own way, and he couldn't stop it at all.
Well, let's just think I haven't made this movie.
George has given up on saving the film, the Chinese director is a complete idiot, he doesn't know how to make a movie at all.
It's just a pity that I put in the effort I put in in the process.
Eight days later, the movie was officially completed, and Xu Nan held a finale banquet.
Eight days is a short time, not too short to be a tenth of the normal shooting time of most movies, and eight days is a long time, long enough for the crew to understand what kind of garbage they are filming.
People who originally had confidence in this crew saw a fact very clearly through eight days.
The movies they make are terrible, very bad, so rotten that they are broken.
The cost of filming is low, and they endured it, after all, Hollywood is not without examples of small and big.
The props are very simple, and they endured it, after all, the crew conditions are here.
The director is a Chinese, it doesn't matter, anyway, the director's English is very good, and the shooting skills are not bad.
But at least you have to have the right attitude
Hollywood has never had a movie that has been done all over again.
Really, I went through the whole process, even if there were very obvious goofs in some places, I still went over and over again.
There is no Hollywood movie like this.
Even, the actors took the initiative to remind them, but the director still didn't change.
What do they do, knowing that they are still acting, how can this be stated.
Coping can be coped.
This group of actors, who were originally very serious, quickly became bastards under Xu Nan's hands.
Xu Nan didn't care about this.
Originally, he didn't have any hope for the ability of these actors, but whether they were mixed or not was actually about the same.
Originally, it was only 20 points, but it was mixed up, and the level became 10 points.
Is there a difference?
No.
This movie doesn't depend on quality in the first place.
At the celebration banquet, Xu Nan smiled and said in proficient English: "Your performance in the past eight days is very good, and it is the best I have seen in the United States." ”
"Come, celebrate the success of our film."
The rest of the crew gave a subtle expression, and then raised their glasses very cooperatively.
They all sneered in their hearts.
Movie success? What are you daydreaming about.
After the celebration banquet, the crew immediately disbanded and went their separate ways, and some people didn't even leave contact information for Xu Nan.
George even said a harsh word.
Stupid Chinese director, go back to China, and never tell anyone that I worked with you.
Xu Nan was speechless, your attitude was not like this at first.
The quality is really low.
But he's not in the mood to care about this now, because he has to find a way to solve the problem of the theater.
In fact, he still has a relationship in the United States, and he is very sure that he will be able to release this movie in theaters, and he is also very sure that he will be able to sell the copyright.
Don't forget, his "Spider-Man" was a front-hang "Dragonfly 3", and the people of the United States were very interested in his movie and specially bought the film rights in North America.
He still has the contact information of these people.
The copyright must be able to be sold, it is nothing more than a matter of price, as long as the business model is confirmed, it can naturally make money continuously.
The key is how many theaters can be shown in his films.
Xu Nan has already thought about it, try his best to strive for the three major theaters to release his movies, if not, find a small theater.
In the next few days, he visited the people of the three major cinemas in the shortest time, and the answers he got were all refusals.
A movie with such a garbage quality will only be released by a fool.
Xu Nan had expected this, and he was not disappointed, but decided to find a small theater.
Compared with large theaters, the festival value of small theaters is still a little lower, and it is still possible to be released.
But what Xu Nan didn't expect was that the Emperor Cinema Line, one of the three major cinema chains, actually took the initiative to find him.
Obviously, he has been rejected by Emperor Cinemas.
An upscale café.
The person in charge of the Imperial Cinema Line is a woman, and she also has a certain relationship with Xu Nanneng.
Her surname is Lin, Lin Hongsleeve's Lin, and her full name is Lin Ziyi.
She is Lin Hongsleeve's sister, but unlike Salted Fish's red sleeves, Lin Ziyi is a strong woman and is also at the helm of the Imperial Cinema Line.
Shenhua Group acquired the Imperial Cinema Line, and then sent Lin Ziyi over to take charge.
But rumor has it that she didn't do it very well.
Xu Nan didn't think so much about looking for the Imperial Cinema Line, simply because this is one of the three major cinema chains in the United States, but he didn't expect to be rejected directly by a middle-level cadre.
As for Lin Ziyi, he really didn't think about the relationship, after all, the two of them didn't know each other, and he didn't know Lin Ziyi's attitude towards him, so it would be bad if it was self-defeating.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ziyi actually took the initiative to find him.
She is wearing a smart professional dress today, her thick black hair is naturally slanted, her facial features are beautiful and refined, but her eyes are very sharp, as if she is examining something anytime and anywhere.
Xu Nan felt that he was being scrutinized by her, like a boss looking at his subordinates.
Lin Ziyi and Lin Hongsleeves are completely two styles, one is soft and cute, and the other is a royal sister, it doesn't look like a mother, and the style gap is too big.
"What do you want to drink?" Lin Ziyi asked.
"Whatever." Xu Nan sat down in his seat: "What's the matter with me?" ”
Lin Ziyiyu held the silver spoon in her hand and slowly stirred the coffee in the cup: "I heard that you made a movie and want to go to theaters." ”
Xu Nan nodded: "Yes, just after filming, the three major theaters were found, but they were all rejected." ”
Lin Ziyi's red lips hooked, revealing a sarcastic smile: "It's normal, I watched your movie, it's just a piece of garbage, no theater will be stupid enough to let this movie be released." ”
Xu Nan was not angry: "No way, my ability is limited, but the movies are all filmed, I can't help but release them, I can only find a way." ”
"Huh." Lin Ziyi smiled: "You think I can't see it, your movie is clearly a copycat of "The Hobbit", you want to release it on the same schedule, and then touch this movie." ”
