Chapter 295: He Didn't Make a Bad Movie
The press conference continues.
A reporter asked: "Director Xu, in addition to the above reasons, what other reasons are there to prove that this movie is not a bad movie?" ”
Xu Nan said seriously: "Another reason is that the cost of my film is only 250,000 US dollars, but the current box office has reached 6 million US dollars, and the box office is 24 times the production cost." ”
"Just ask, how many movies can there be in the United States, to achieve this return ratio, such a profitable movie you say is a bad movie, maybe, obviously impossible."
This time, few reporters showed contemptuous expressions, and making money was indeed very convincing.
A thing, even if everyone says it is good, as long as it can't make money, it is destined to not be maintained.
But if a thing, even if it is very, very bad, as long as it can make money, it will continue to flow.
A movie that can make money, and the rate of return is very high, is indeed very convincing.
"Director Xu, how much do you think the final box office of the movie "Atlantic Rim" can reach?"
"Director Xu, what is your next film plan?"
"Director Huaxia, how much box office do you think the movie "Pacific Rim" can reach?"
At the press conference, reporters continued to ask questions, and Xu Nan answered them one by one.
The whole press conference lasted about an hour, and Xu Nan explained the difference between the movie "Atlantic Rim" and "Pacific Rim", and solemnly stated that the "classic movie" was shot by himself, so that everyone should not be mistaken.
After the press conference, Benjamin took a deep breath.
"Notify Warner and ask their legal department to sue this Huaxia director for plagiarism in the movie."
The assistant hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if you sue, the chances of winning the case are very small." ”
Benjamin nodded: "I know, but no matter what, I can't let this guy continue to be arrogant, even if he can't win the lawsuit, it's good to give him some trouble." ”
The assistant then understood what Benjamin meant, and although he didn't think it was necessary, he still complied: "Okay, I'll go and communicate with Warner." ”
After the assistant left, Benjamin couldn't help but sigh.
Originally, when he first saw Xu Nan talking nonsense at the press conference, he was very angry, but when he looked at it, he was actually not angry, and he was speechless in his heart.
This kind of person is purely shameless, and shameless to the extreme.
People are shameless, the world is invincible, he really has no good way to deal with such a shameless person, he can only use the way of prosecution to disgust the other party.
After the press conference, Xu Nan soon became a hot search on Twitter and made headlines in the entertainment news of the United States.
Today is the day of the release of "Pacific Rim", theoretically speaking, the protagonist should be this movie, but Xu Nan relied on his own operation to successfully focus the attention of netizens on him.
Xu Nan's various operations are like fireflies in the night, bright and outstanding, even if you don't want to pay attention to him.
After the press conference, a large number of media outlets published news.
"The director of Huaxia solemnly declares that "Atlantic Rim" was filmed by himself, and the majority of netizens please don't play stalks."
"Director Xu warned Benjamin not to try to take credit for the filming of the movie "Atlantic Rim."
"Why did Benjamin shoot the movie "Atlantic Rim" so badly, there is another hidden story behind the rapid spread of this meme."
In addition to the news, the comments from netizens are also interesting.
"Obviously, "Atlantic Rim" is a bad movie, but why did I become interested in this movie, I really want to go to the cinema."
"Guy upstairs, I'm worse than you, I've seen this movie once, and I endured unparalleled torture during the movie, but after watching the press conference, I actually suspected that I had watched the wrong movie."
"He's really fit to be a politician, and this shameless look is not much worse than a politician."
"Oh my God, how can there be such a person in this world, who has made a bad movie, but he actually said that he made a classic movie."
"What's even more terrifying is that he still doesn't admit his mistakes, and always thinks he is right."
"No, the most terrible thing is that he has made money, which means that there will be a steady stream of bad movies filmed by him in the future."
"Actually, this kind of movie is still very interesting, why should our views be so extreme, and only accept good movies in the conventional sense."
"Yes, "Atlantic Rim" is not a bad movie, it's just a movie with a unique style, in fact, this movie is very fun."
"I went to see this movie with my roommate, and it was actually very interesting."
"I admit that this movie is bad, but it's bad, it's different, he's the kind of movie that's very special, and I like this style of movie anyway."
Contrary to Xu Nan's expectations, on the Internet, his reputation is gradually getting better, and Twitter's fans are gradually increasing.
Originally, netizens and the media in the United States generally called him a shameless director, or a bad movie director, but now he has become a Chinese director, and there are ghost directors.
Some people even openly spoke for him and wrote an article, thinking that Xu Nan's movies have a unique style and are indeed not bad movies.
This person's name is Francis, and he is a very well-known film critic in the United States.
His fame is completely different from Martin's, Martin became famous by crooked ways, but Francis has been deeply involved in the field of film critics for many years, and he became famous by relying on one wonderful film review after another.
Such a film critic posted an article to help Xu Nan speak, and his influence was very great
["The Hobbit Age" and "Atlantic Rim" are not bad movies. 】
"Recently, there is a Chinese director named Xu Nan who is very popular and famous, some people call him a ghost director, thinking that the movies he makes are very good, at least very good in terms of profit, and some people think that the movies he makes are completely bad movies, without any value, and should be destroyed when they are produced, so as not to pollute people's eyes."
"As a film critic, I also watched two movies, and the first time I watched them, I found it difficult to accept, but the second time I watched these two movies for the third time, I still found the advantages of these two movies."
"These two movies, of course, can't be called good movies in the traditional sense, but equally, these two movies can't be called bad movies."
"Whether it is "The Hobbit Age" or "Atlantic Rim", there are obviously traces of shoddy production, and there are even a lot of goofs shots, when the general director shoots a movie, he often strives for perfection and can work hard for a long time for the beauty of a shot, but these two movies are not like this, whether it is a lens, props, or actors, they are extremely coping, or even completely unqualified."
"But it is precisely because of the shoddy and substandard production of the two films, coupled with the fast pace and orthodox film narrative of the film itself, that an extremely unique film style has been formed, and audiences who cannot accept this film style will feel that watching this kind of movie is a kind of torture, but audiences who can accept this film style will feel that the movie is full of nonsense and strong comedy and humor."
"It is undeniable that neither "The Hobbit Age" nor "Atlantic Rim" can be called a wonderful movie or a good movie in the traditional public perception, but these two movies can definitely not be called bad movies, at least in the eyes of audiences who can accept this film style, this is not a bad movie."
"Director Xu Nan from Huaxia once said that this is a copycat porcelain piece, and I personally prefer to call this kind of movie a coarse film."
"But whether it is a copycat porcelain movie or a rough film, as long as this kind of film can continue to maintain the current high profit model, there will be a steady stream of output, in this type of film, there is no doubt that this Chinese director is the originator, is the founder of this type of film, I believe there will be no shortage of imitators in the future."
"Finally, I want to talk about my personal opinion, I watched both movies several times, and I felt tormented at first, but when I watched it, I felt coke inexplicably, so I don't think these two movies are bad movies, maybe some people have different opinions from me, but I still insist on this view."
