Two days later, Xu Nan was thinking about his next film plan in the company, and suddenly received a call from Lin Ziyi.

"I'm seriously asking you, how long does it take to shoot a copycat porcelain piece?" Lin Ziyi had a hint of anger in her voice, as if she had been provoked by someone.

"One day, give me a day, give me a phone, and I'll get it done for you." Xu Nan swore an oath.

Lin Ziyi couldn't help but roll her eyes, why is this guy so indecent.

She was not in a very good mood now, so she didn't bother to entangle with Xu Nan, so she asked directly: "How long will it take to be of the same quality as "The Hobbit Era"?" ”

"Seven days, counting from now on, will be kept for you when the time comes." Xu Nan replied.

Lin Ziyi pondered for a moment: "Actually, it doesn't need to be so fast, there is still time, you polish it slowly and improve the quality." ”

"There's no need, what quality does a cottage touch porcelain, the general quality is OK, it costs more money to improve the quality, and the pressure to return to the cost will become greater, there is really no need for that." Xu Nan resisted.

Lin Ziyi was stunned.

She felt that she and Xu Nan's character design was reversed.

In general, it is the director who strives for the quality of the film and strives to do the best, and in order to achieve this goal, they will try their best to increase the filming budget of the film and find out the person who wants money.

In contrast, producers and producers are more concerned about whether the film can be profitable, the quality of the film is not the most important, what they require is to make the most money at the lowest cost.

There is a story in Hollywood that when Cameron was filming the Titanic, he asked to redo a prop on the ship that could only appear in the movie for a few seconds, which cost millions of dollars.

The producer immediately got anxious and said that if you really do this, then I'll jump off the boat.

But Cameron insisted, and then the producer literally jumped off the boat.

But in the end, Cameron still spent millions of dollars to redo a prop on the ship that could only appear in the movie for a few seconds, because he had extremely high requirements for the quality of the film and did not allow a single flaw.

Most directors are similar to Cameron, in order to improve the quality of the film, they will do whatever it takes, and they will not think about how much money they need to spend and whether they can return to their original cost.

But in Xu Nan's case, Lin Ziyi is willing to spend more money to improve the quality of the movie, but Xu Nan, the director, is not happy.

It's a surprise.

As a director, don't you have some artistic pursuits?

"I think it's better for the quality of the movie to be higher, after all, it is for the audience to see, if it's too bad, the reputation is easy to spoil." For the first time, Lin Ziyi said something that was impossible to say before.

Xu Nan smiled at the time: "It's all cottage porcelain, I still care about this, 200,000 US dollars is already the limit, if it is domestic, 30,000 US dollars is enough." ”

"It's not a blockbuster, there's no need to be so demanding, even if it's high, the audience won't buy it, in that case, why not put it on a bad show."

"Okay." Lin Ziyi could only nod.

What Xu Nan said makes sense.

I've already made up my mind to knock on porcelain and touch others, why do you care so much.

Everything has been done, and there is no need to set up a torii.

"Tell me, what kind of movie is it that you want me to touch?" Xu Nan asked, listening to Lin Ziyi's tone, he knew that he was going to touch a blockbuster this time.

"I've heard of Pacific Rim." Lin Ziyi replied.

"Of course I did."

Xu Nan's eyes lit up, he had seen this movie in his previous life, it was a very good-looking movie, especially the picture of the monster and mecha fighting in it, which can be called a visual feast.

After coming to the United States, he often watched the news of the film industry and knew that the film had been made, so he waited for the release date.

This movie was originally in his copycat porcelain plan, but he didn't know the definite release time, so he didn't have time to copycat.

"Is this movie about to be released?" Xu Nan asked.

"That's right, it's almost there, the schedule is basically about to be determined, and it will definitely be released within a month." Lin Ziyi replied.

She is the president of the theater chain, and she is clear when the movie will be released.

"Then don't worry, there is absolutely enough time, it can be done in seven days, and a month, there is too much time."

Xu Nan smiled, not to mention a month, even a week is enough, the director of the fast gunner is not joking.

Looking at the world, his speed of making movies is also at the pinnacle, and there are few people who can compare.

"Is it because Warner, the producer of "Pacific Rim", didn't give you a share of the movie?" Xu Nan suddenly asked.

"Yes." Lin Ziyi nodded, if it weren't for this, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to let Xu Nan's "Pacific Rim" shoot a copycat porcelain.

"It's too much, Warner doesn't even pay attention to the theater, it's just lawless." Xu Nan was indignant: "Ziyi, don't worry, I will definitely help you out of this breath." ”

"By the way, since Warner is so faceless, why don't you give me all the copycat films, I have thought of the name of the movie, it will be called "Atlantic Rim", specifically benchmarking Warner's "Pacific Rim", how about it?"

"It's a pretty good name, and it should be able to trick more audiences into entering the theater." Lin Ziyi smiled: "As for the film arrangement, I won't let you suffer." ”

"Don't forget, you own 30% of my company." Xu Nan reminded.

"Don't worry, you won't suffer in terms of film scheduling, but you don't have to think about all the film scheduling, "Pacific Rim" is a big-budget boutique movie created by Warner at a huge cost, costing hundreds of millions of dollars before and after."

"Such a blockbuster will greatly stimulate the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie and bring a large number of people to the theater, so it is impossible for me to give you all the films, at most give you a part."

Lin Ziyi explained seriously.

Although Warner's move not to give a share made her angry, Lin Ziyi did not lose her mind.

The relationship between cinemas and film and television companies is delicate, although the cinema chain is at the top of the food chain, film and television companies are not easy to mess with.

It is impossible for her not to schedule this movie, otherwise the movie will be a big hit, and the audience will find that the theaters under the Emperor Cinema Line can't see this wonderful movie, so they will go to other theaters to watch it.

This is tantamount to taking the initiative to push the audience to other theaters, and Lin Ziyi will definitely not do this kind of thing.

But that doesn't mean Lin Ziyi can't do anything.

She didn't dare to do such a thing as not showing movies, but it was okay to deliberately reduce the number of movie screenings and schedules.

Since you don't want to give me a share, then I'll use copycat films to make up for the loss and see who can't stand it in the end.

The theater chain can still be afraid that you will not succeed as a film and television company.

"Okay." Xu Nan nodded.

If he can fight for a part of the film schedule, he will be satisfied, the ceiling of copycat films is there, the box office cannot be too high, Lin Ziyi can give him this guarantee is already good.

This is still based on the fact that Emperor Cinemas holds 30% of the shares of Nanhai Film and Television, if you don't have shares, the movie will not be given to you.

Next, Lin Ziyi told Xu Nan everything she knew about "Pacific Rim", and told him to try his best to make the movie and fight against this movie when "Pacific Rim" was released.

Hanging up the phone, Xu Nan began to search the Internet for news about the movie "Pacific Rim".

On the Internet, there is a lot of news about the movie "Pacific Rim", this is a big-budget movie carefully created by Warner, and the early publicity can be said to be very in place, and there is a wave of related news from time to time, which is guaranteed to let as many audiences as possible know about this movie.

This also made it convenient for Xu Nan to be able to collect the information he wanted.

The trailer of the movie has not been released, but a synopsis of the film can be found online, as well as media interviews with the film's director, as well as the male and female protagonists.

There are also some makeup photos and tidbits released by the crew.

Through these, Xu Nan has enough understanding of movies.

"Pacific Rim" is a mecha monster film, a proper big production, the director is the famous director Benjamin, with a brilliant record, and the actors are also first-line actors, including an actor.

Before and after, for this big production, Warner invested hundreds of millions of dollars, which can be called a movie piled up with dollars.

After watching the production cost of the film and the behind-the-scenes team, Xu Nan was on fire at that time.

The bigger the production, the better.

Like this kind of big-budget movie, it is famous, and the film producer will play hard to promote it to ensure that there are enough audiences to enter the cinema.

This kind of movie is only interesting when it touches porcelain.

The essence of the cottage porcelain is that the other party is famous, if you touch the porcelain an ordinary movie, the audience will not buy it.

After reading the information of "Pacific Rim" on the Internet, Xu Nan was inspired.

He began to write scripts.

Isn't it just a mecha fighting monsters.,It's too simple.,This kind of book.,I can come up with a hundred in a minute.。

A night passed, and Xu Nan's script was written.

It's a rough script, but it's okay, it's enough.

Again, that's the same sentence.

Cottage porcelain pieces, where are the requirements so high, just get a job.

After the script was completed, the next step was to find someone to shoot.

This step is also very simple.

Xu Nan is no longer a newcomer in the United States, he has had the experience of making a movie, and the basic network has been established.

Of course, this network is very weak, and it is barely enough to make a movie, and the finished film is probably the kind that can't bear to look at directly.

But still the same sentence.

The cottage touches the porcelain piece, and it can make a living.

But just when Xu Nan began to prepare for the crew, Lin Ziyi's phone called.

"You accompany me to a viewing party." Lin Ziyi said: "It's Warner's "Pacific Rim". ”
