Xu Nan was stunned for a moment.

What does Cameron mean by that, he didn't do anything to Cameron.

Although he thought about touching Cameron, he only thought about it, and he hasn't implemented it yet.

How Cameron has this attitude.

"Director Cameron, what did you say?" Xu Nan asked.

Cameron's chin raised slightly: "I will never admit that copycat porcelain movies are a kind of film, and movies are a kind of art, noble art." ”

"Maybe your film can make money, but it doesn't qualify as art."

After speaking, Cameron left with his head held high, without giving Xu Nan a chance to explain, nor making things difficult for Xu Nan, he simply said a word to show his attitude.

But judging from his appearance, it seems that he doesn't regard Xu Nan as an equal conversation object at all.

There was laughter around them, and a group of people gloated when they saw Xu Nan, a foreigner, eating deflated.

It is difficult for a foreigner, or a foreigner who relied on evil ways to start a business, to have a high status in this circle, and to be accepted, it is still based on the face of making a disturbance before him.

The American beauty who was crazy and attentive before also secretly left, as if she was afraid of Cameron's pursuit.

Xu Nan's expression did not change, but his mood was very unhappy.

When Lin Ziyi saw this scene, she walked over to comfort her.

"Don't be angry, Cameron has this temper, and everyone in the world knows it."

"Let me give you an analogy, when his "Titanic" won the Oscar for Best Director, he stood on the stage, facing all the insiders, facing the audience all over the world, do you know what he said?"

Without waiting for Xu Nan to answer, Lin Ziyi said word by word: "Me! Be! Generation! World! It! King! ”

It was the Oscar ceremony, all the heavyweights in the entertainment industry in the United States were there, and it was broadcast live worldwide, but Cameron still said it. One can imagine how arrogant he is. ”

"Even his arrogance is not because of the success of "Titanic", before the big ship swept the world, he was known for his stubbornness and arrogance throughout the entertainment industry."

"When filming Titanic, he asked to build a really big ship for the filming, because it was more realistic."

"It would cost a lot of money to do that, but at his insistence, Fox had to do it."

"When shooting, Cameron had to spend millions of dollars to redo all the cutlery on the ship because of a few seconds of footage, and he had to make it by hand."

Because of a few seconds of footage, Cameron had to spend millions of dollars to redo all the cutlery on the ship, and he had to make it all by hand, and finally all the cutlery was broken. ”

"Because he spent too much money on filming, the producer even jumped into the water in front of everyone in the crew to threaten him, but even so, Cameron still didn't change his stubborn character."

"Even, even Hollywood's giant Fox couldn't stand his money-profligate way of shooting, and almost broke the financial chain."

"At the most dangerous time, Fox really couldn't bear the arrogant Cameron, and directly cut off the crew's funds, intending to terminate the contract with him and let other directors shoot the movie "Titanic", really, the situation was very dangerous at that time, and Cameron was almost swept out of the house by Fox, in that case, there would not be the big ship that went on a rampage and swept the world."

In the end, Lin Ziyi concluded: "So Cameron didn't mean it, he is this kind of character, everyone in the entertainment industry knows that not only you have been angry with him, many people have been angry with him, even I have been angry with him." ”

Xu Nan knew that Lin Ziyi was comforting him, and smiled faintly.

"Don't worry, I'm not that vulnerable, since the day I entered the industry, there have been countless people who don't like me, but so what, no matter how much they look at me, I haven't come to this point."

Lin Ziyi saw that Xu Nan's expression had not changed, and nodded: "It's good that you're like this, I'm worried that you won't be able to think about it." ”

"How is that possible?" Xu Nan smiled and asked casually, "By the way, you just said that you were also angry with Cameron, what's going on?" You are the boss of the theater chain, how can he be a director to show you a look. ”

Lin Ziyi sighed: "It's not because of "Titanic 2", this is the sequel to Big Ship, with the foundation laid by the previous work, this movie is favored by everyone in the circle, and the audience in the United States is even more eager, looking forward to it, just like a pervert who has been abstinent for a year sees a beautiful woman." ”

Xu Nan listened quietly, he knew that Lin Ziyi would finish the matter.

Sure enough, after being silent for a while, and drinking a glass of red wine to moisten her throat, Lin Ziyi continued to speak.

"That is, because this movie is too popular and famous, this guy wants to negotiate conditions with our theater chain and increase the box office share of the movie."

"How does this work?" Lin Ziyi's delicate and charming face had a hint of anger: "Sharing is conventional, it has been set a long time ago, it is an unspoken rule in the circle, why raise it." ”

"Isn't it, you've been here for so long, and you're still being ostracized?" Xu Nan was puzzled: "I remember that Paramount's "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" gave you the same conditions as the other two major theater chains, how did it change when you came to Cameron." ”

"It's that I didn't explain clearly, Cameron's condition is not just for me, but for all the theaters in the United States."

He asked dozens of theaters, large and small, to increase the box office share at the same time, otherwise he would refuse to release "Titanic 2".

Lin Ziyi explained.

"So crazy, you actually want to negotiate terms with all the theaters on your own?" Xu Nan was shocked.

In the entertainment industry, the cinema chain is an absolute upstream monopoly platform, whether it is a director or a film and television company, the cinema chain is in a weak situation.

As long as you want to release a movie, you can't get around the theater chain, no matter how big a director you are, or a strong film and television company, as long as the theater chain doesn't release your movie, you have no problem.

Cameron actually wanted to rely on the movie "Titanic" to negotiate terms with the theater chain, which was arrogant enough.

"And the result?" Xu Nan asked.

Lin Ziyi sighed: "It's still talking, after all, this is Cameron, the sequel to the big ship." ”

Although the theater chain is at the top of the chain of contempt in the entertainment industry, it also depends on the situation.

Take the crew as an example, under normal circumstances, the director is the largest in the crew, but if the director is only a novice director, but the actor is a big-name actor, then the actor in the crew will have more say than the director.

If it is an ordinary director, even if it is a big director, dare to say that the box office share will be raised, and the theater chain will definitely be tough to the end, suppress this director, and let him know that the world is cruel.

But with Cameron, the result would be different.
