Chapter 318: It's outrageous

Cameron is a world-class director, and is respected by fans as the god of cards, and some people even call him the world's number one director.

The upcoming movie is also a sequel to Titanic.

When "Titanic" was released, it swept the world and topped the global box office, and until now, it still holds the record of the world's first box office, and its influence is extremely terrifying.

The sequel to such a movie is indeed qualified to negotiate terms with the theater.

"So the theater chain will compromise?" Xu Nan asked.

Lin Ziyi frowned: "It's hard to say, the attitude of the theater chain is also very contradictory now, I don't want to compromise, but I want the movie to be released." ”

"After all, this is Cameron, or the sequel to Big Ship."

Lin Ziyi repeated what she had just said again.

Needless to say, as long as the names of Cameron and "Titanic 2" are reported, the theater chain must consider carefully.

Xu Nan was a little jealous.

is worthy of Cameron, and his influence is really amazing.

This kind of influence is something that he can't achieve even if he shoots a hundred copycat porcelain pieces.

No matter how good the business model of filming copycat porcelain is, and no matter how strong the profitability of copycat porcelain is in terms of social influence, 10,000 films add up to one "Titanic".

It's ironic to say, it's all movies, it's all entertainment used to pass the time, but people always have to distinguish between high and low, and always have to make a chain of contempt.

Those who like to watch literary movies look down on those who watch commercial movies, and those who watch commercial movies look down on those who like to watch copycat porcelain movies.

It's all about watching movies, is it that watching literary movies is more noble than watching copycat movies?

But there is no way, everyone thinks so, and Xu Nan can't change other people's minds.

At the banquet, Cameron was surrounded by the stars and the moon, like the center of the world, while Xu Nan stood on the edge, faintly repulsed.

After the banquet, Xu Nan returned to the company and searched the Internet for information about "Titanic 2".

As a work of director Cameron, this movie has a lot of information on the Internet, and there is a lot of it when you search for it.

Netizens are also extremely concerned about this movie, and any news can trigger a lot of reprints and discussions.

According to the information summarized on the Internet, the film has been filmed, and it is not clear whether the post-production work has been completed, and there is no relevant news on the Internet.

But according to Lin Ziyi, the post-production work of this film should have been completed, and it is currently negotiating with the theater chain to discuss the issue of box office sharing.

After the sharing is negotiated, the schedule estimate should also be determined.

Looking at the appearance of netizens waiting for the movie to be released, Xu Nan was ready to move.

This is "Titanic", Jack and Ruth, a classic couple, after so many years, Xu Nan, the soundtrack of the movie, still remembers it very clearly.

Especially the scene where the two people stand at the bow of the boat and Jack hugs Ruth behind his back is an eternal memory.

is such a classic movie, it feels like life is unsatisfactory if you don't touch porcelain.

This is the No. 1 movie in film history, Xu Nan has touched porcelain many big productions, but he is the first in film history, and he has really never touched porcelain.

If you don't touch the porcelain, you will regret it for life.

It's like playing a game, you've already started it, if you don't clear the level, if you don't save the last princess, then the game will not be in vain.

However, Kashen's movie is not easy to touch porcelain.

The theater chain can't pass the level, the two sides are pulling, if the news gets out, maybe the theater chain will sell him to curry favor with Cameron.

In any industry, as long as you can become the top few people, you will have amazing influence, not to mention the film and television industry, which has an amazing influence.

Inexplicably, Xu Nan had an unhappy feeling.

Why, they are all making movies, why is there such a big gap in status.

It is necessary to transform, continue to make copycat and porcelain movies, although you can make money, but when the money reaches a certain level, the significance is not very great.

But that's for later, so let's make enough money for now.

The thing in front of us is to shoot a movie "Titanic 2".

It doesn't matter if the theater can't be released, it can be released in streaming media, it can be released on videotape, but if it doesn't work, it can be posted on YouTube.

Copycat porcelain movies, that's so convenient.

Then there's the question of shooting.

Xu Nan tapped his fingers on the keyboard and created a folder on the computer.

What kind of script should I write?

Nonsensical? Spoof? It's still decent but shoddy.

Suddenly, Xu Nan recalled some memories of his previous life.

In his previous life, Cameron did not shoot the sequel to "Titanic", but chose to shoot "Avatar", which set off a 3D frenzy.

This world is different from the previous life, Cameron chose to shoot the sequel to "Titanic" and did not shoot Avatar.

However, similar 3D movies have come out and have also set off a trend.

This is not the key, the key is that the previous life Shelter Film and Television made a movie called "Titanic 2", which claimed to be a sequel to Cameron, deceiving the audience to earn the box office.

Let's not talk about the quality of the movie, it's still the same, but relying on the name of the Titanic sequel, this movie has made a lot of money.

Cameron was furious when he heard the news and took Shelter Films to court for infringement.

But the final result shocked the eyes of a group of people, and Cameron actually lost the lawsuit.

In the face of Cameron's questioning of infringement, the lawyer of Sanctuary Pictures said that his company filmed the story of the ship Titanic 2, not a sequel to "Titanic".

The movie "Titanic" has a prototype, and it was still in the twentieth century, a ship named Titanic hit an iceberg after sailing, and most of the passengers on board were killed.

Later, Cameron's movie "Titanic" became popular, and the shipyard built a cruise ship called Titanic 2 to rub off on the popularity of this movie.

As a professional porcelain company, Shelter Film and Television, which has a keen sense of smell, decisively won the film adaptation rights of the ship, and then the movie "Titanic 2" was born.

When Cameron sued Shelter Film and Television for infringement, the professional lawyer of Shelter Film and Television was justifiable.

We're not making a sequel to your movie, we're shooting the story of this ship, which has nothing to do with your movie, don't make a fuss about me.

So Cameron lost the case gorgeously.

Shelter Film and Television, which tasted the sweetness, later made sequels to a series of classic movies such as Jaws, which can be said to be very undisciplined.

Thinking of this, Xu Nan couldn't help but want to move.

Or, let's also have a "Titanic 2", so that Cameron can feel the shock of real and fake movies.

Since they have already decided to touch porcelain, it is better to touch porcelain to the end.

At the banquet, Cameron didn't give him a good face, and since this is the case, Xu Nan doesn't need to give Cameron face.

He began to search the Internet for relevant information.

After spending most of the day researching the information, Xu Nan was sure that his idea was feasible.

According to the information circulating on the Internet, the story filmed by Cameron is still the story of a cruise ship called "Titanic".

The background of the movie is that after the sinking of the Titanic, another ship called the Titanic was built, and subsequently.

The latter story was not written on the Internet because the movie had not yet been released.

But it is enough to know this.

Because, Titanic and Titanic 2, both ships are currently in this world, belong to the same company.

Xu Nan guessed that there is a high probability that Cameron did not obtain the film and television adaptation rights of the ship, because there is no such concept in the entertainment industry at present, and the Titanic in Cameron's movie is not the same ship as the Titanic currently sailing, and the real Titanic hit an iceberg and sank decades ago.

However, the company that made the real Titanic still exists.

Xu Nan smiled.

There's a lot to be done here.

After thinking about it, Xu Nan called his hair Xiao Zhan Beishan.

"Come out and have fun?"

"I'm busy." There was a hint of tiredness in Zhan Beishan's voice.

He is still busy with the copyright lawsuit with Fox, and the genuine hobbit Milton is now excitedly preparing for Fox to bite a piece of meat and let himself live the life of a rich man for the rest of his life.

He was one of them.

This case has caused a sensation in the legal circles of the United States, and it is still being scorched.

Xu Nan chuckled: "There is a legal question to ask, which is very important to me. ”

"Time, place." Zhan Beishan said.

Xu Nan reported the time and place, and then hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, the two met at a café.

Looking at the small hair with dark circles under his eyes, Xu Nan asked: "How is the progress of the hobbit infringement case, and when will Fox be able to lose money." ”

"It's still early, and it will take at least a year to close the case." Zhan Beishan disagreed.

"This kind of big case without precedent, if you want to get a result, it will be fast for a year or two, and maybe it will go to the Federal Supreme Court and the justice will decide."

"That's not bad, I heard that it's difficult for novice lawyers in the United States to mix, you can receive this kind of case just after your debut, so you don't have to worry about it in the future." Xu Nan comforted.

A hint of gloom flashed on Zhan Beishan's face: "How can it be so good, that guy from Milton doesn't trust me at all, he has already found another lawyer, and I'm in it, just playing a miscellaneous role." ”

Xu Nan shrugged: "That can't be helped, this guy Milton is very stubborn, I suggested that he give me full authority to deal with it, but he directly refused, but anyway, being able to participate in such a case is very beneficial to your career, isn't it." ”

Zhan Beishan nodded, in the United States, lawyers are a profession with a good income and high social status, and the current president of the United States is a lawyer.

It is precisely because this industry is very sought after in the United States that it is very difficult to enter the industry, and it is also difficult to become famous.

Being able to participate in such a big case just after his debut is really helpful to his career, even if it is miscellaneous in it.

"By the way, didn't you come to me to say that you have a legal problem to consult me, or a case that is no worse than the hobbit tort case."

Xu Nan took out a stack of materials prepared in advance and handed it to Zhan Beishan: "Take a serious look, whether I shoot "Titanic 2" infringes on or not, if I sue Cameron for infringement of "Titanic", can it be successful." ”

Zhan Beishan looked at the information, and his brows were almost wrinkled into a Sichuan character: "There is no precedent for this at all. And it's outrageous. ”
