Chapter 271: Growing Big with Small
Regarding the doubts of netizens, Xu Nan had already expected them.
He tweeted:
"A lot of people say that my movies are rubbish, and I don't have much to say about you idiots who don't know how to enjoy movies, because I can't communicate with fools at all, and with your IQ, I can only show you more direct things."
"This is the cost of filming my film, $200,000, [Picture 1]. This is the box office of my film now, more than $30 million, [Figure 2]."
"Now you know how wonderful my movies are."
"Boom"
As soon as the tweet was sent, it erupted like a volcano and immediately caused a huge storm.
The cost of the movie "The Hobbit Age" is only $200,000?
This cost immediately stunned people in the film industry.
Is there a mistake that you can make a movie with such a small amount of money?
With such a small amount of money, it is estimated that it will be spent in one day, and Xu Nan will be able to make a movie.
At the beginning, the film industry was simply reluctant to believe this result, especially the director.
"Impossible."
"With such a low cost, it is impossible to make a movie."
"It doesn't make sense at all."
A large group of directors and senior industry insiders stood up to refute it.
For such a small amount of money to make a movie of acceptable quality, it is completely beyond common sense.
Xu Nan can make a movie at such a low cost, and the quality is okay, doesn't it seem that they are very wasteful.
But Xu Nan quickly used Twitter to publish the evidence, and the evidence he released was sufficient, and all the expenses of the crew were posted on the Internet, which was very detailed, so that people had no way to question it.
The evidence is too complete, it is true, it is useless to doubt, and it is not okay to believe it.
And the movie "The Hobbit Era" can be seen at a glance that it is shoddy, and the cost of 200,000 is normal, and most people who have watched the movie believe it at once.
They even think it might be cheaper.
After Xu Nan released the evidence, the people who questioned it before stopped speaking and remained silent.
More were shocked.
"Walter, two hundred thousand costs."
"Is this the lowest-budget movie ever?"
"Fack, how is it possible to make a complete movie at such a low cost."
Netizens were shocked that the cost of this movie was really 200,000, which can be regarded as a record-breaking.
The point is that the box office is not low.
Xu Nanhe's popularity of the movie has skyrocketed again, which is within his expectations, and he has long been ready to use this to promote the movie.
There has always been a high interest in the small and the big.
That's why, gambling, the stock market, lotteries and other things will continue to flourish.
Whenever someone wins the lottery, it will arouse the envy and jealousy of a large group of people, and it will make people talk about it, because people like excitement and gambling by nature.
It has always been the favorite thing of ordinary people.
"The Hobbit Era" now meets this condition, with a cost of 200,000 US dollars, a box office of nearly 40 million US dollars, a production cost and a box office of 200 to 1, and an income of dozens or even hundreds of times.
With such a high yield, it's crazy.
It's not that there are no movies in the United States that are small and big, and some of them have a higher yield than Xu Nan's "The Hobbit Era".
But there are only a few movies like that in the entire history of cinema several times, and each one has been talked about for a long time, even longer than those classic movies.
There are classic movies every year, but there are only one movies with small and large yields and high yields in a few years.
Xu Nan's movie is even more exaggerated, with a cost of 200,000 yuan, which is the lowest cost among all the movies that are small and big.
To put it bluntly, 200,000 US dollars, many people can take it, but if they can't, they can find someone to make it up
Come out, if they also make such a movie, and then it will be a box office hit.
Hiss.
It's terrifying.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I was, the more enthusiastic I became, and Xu Nan, who was very annoying before, seemed to have become pleasing to the eye.
The loser scolds, which is the sorrowful cry of the defeated dog, which will only make people feel irritable and annoying.
But successful people scold, that's the golden rule, you have to listen to it, maybe there is some trick in it to make you successful.
The United States is a money society, where the successful people are worshiped more than in China, and if you use crooked ways to succeed in China, you will be despised.
But it's different here, if you succeed with crooked ways, it shows that you have the ability, and the people of the United States not only don't think you can't do it, but think you're strong enough.
Before Xu Nan made a lot of nonsense, netizens thought he was very annoying, and even the netizens who paid attention to Xu Nan actually just held the mentality of watching the excitement and made fun of him as a clown.
But now it's different, Xu Nan's record is so brilliant, many people feel that what he said doesn't seem to be unreasonable.
The movie "The Hobbit Era" can have such a high rate of return, is there really anything special.
Even some people who don't plan to watch this movie go to the cinema and spend money to watch this very famous movie.
A movie that can be big with a small amount should have something unique.
And then this group of people collapsed because of the low cost of the film and the high rate of return.
What a bad movie is this, this is also a big hit.
Except for a very few people with special tastes, these people have become Xu Nan's black fans and scolded on the Internet.
They can't figure out how such a garbage movie exploded even if they wanted to break their heads.
It can only be attributed to metaphysics, or this Chinese director is lucky.
And the more you can't figure it out, the more you scold, the more popular the movie will be.
James of the movie "The Hobbit" was stunned.
To make no mistake, this is okay too.
Other movies in the same period, when they encountered "The Hobbit", they all knelt, but this bad movie is getting more and more fierce.
But at this point, the box office of the movie is almost at its limit.
A movie, no matter how much you promote it, after a certain period of time, the audience's interest will weaken, and the popularity of the movie will also decrease.
Even the box office of the movie "The Hobbit" began to decline, let alone the pirated version of "The Hobbit Age".
With the quality of this movie, it's almost a miracle to have the box office now, and it can't be higher.
At this time, there is little point in continuing to promote it, and the publicity of the big production "The Hobbit" has begun to decrease, because the investment and return are not proportional.
James was ready to relax.
Then he saw a piece of news.
Renowned director Xu Nan sued film critic Martin for defamation because Martin said his film was a bad movie.
James couldn't hold back.
It's not that you dare to sue a film critic for defamation.
How embarrassing are you?
