Chapter 322: You're a Fraud
Receiving Lin Ziyi's call, Xu Nan was a little surprised.
He was about to call Lin Ziyi, but he didn't expect Lin Ziyi to take the initiative to come to him.
Xu Nan answered the phone: "What's the matter?" ”
Lin Ziyi's slightly hoarse voice came from the phone: "Are you interested in copycat porcelain and a movie?" ”
Xu Nan raised his eyebrows, and had a guess in his heart, but his voice deliberately carried a trace of doubt: "Which movie?" ”
Lin Ziyi said: "Titanic 2." ”
Xu Nan smiled, it was really this movie.
Seeing Lin Ziyi calling him, he had a guess in his heart, but he didn't expect it to come true.
Isn't that a coincidence?
Xu Nan was full of hope in his heart, and his voice remained calm: "That's Cameron, or the sequel to Big Ship." ”
Lin Ziyi smiled: "What about Cameron?" ”
Cameron's status in the circle is very high, so Lin Ziyi didn't think about letting Xu Nan touch his movies before, and even she considered persuading Xu Nan to keep a low profile and don't die.
It's okay to touch porcelain for others, but touching porcelain Cameron is easy to cause public anger.
But take a look at the conditions that Cameron proposed.
Go to the special Cameron, and you're the one who touches the porcelain.
I really thought the theater was out of temper, right?
Lin Ziyi has already thought about it, when the time comes to release the movie, she will specially arrange the kind of midnight scene and underworld scene for Cameron's movie.
Then arrange Xu Nan's porcelain movie in a good time period and a good location, specifically to disgust Cameron.
This is the end of the provocation theater.
Xu Nan's voice was very hesitant: "Ziyi, I'm not questioning you, I just think that the risk of this matter is too great." ”
"In other movies, if you touch porcelain, you will touch porcelain, but this movie is different."
"This is Cameron, and this movie is a sequel to Big Ship, and audiences around the world are eagerly awaiting it."
"And then you let me touch the porcelain, it's too risky."
Xu Nan's voice hesitated, as if he really thought so in his heart.
And his words are still very convincing, after all, this is Cameron.
"I'm afraid of hair." Lin Ziyi couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "How many movies have you touched porcelain in China, and the three giants of Fox, Warner and Paramount here in the United States have been touched by you in turn, and now you tell me that you don't dare, what did you do earlier." ”
"That's different." Xu Nan's voice carried a hint of grievance: "Cameron is different from others, if he is replaced by another director, dare to ask for 50% of the box office share with your theater?" ”
"If netizens knew that I dared to touch the director god in their minds, they wouldn't have a black gun, which would open my brain."
"Don't talk to me about this, just say you can't shoot it, if you don't shoot it, it's a big deal that I'll find someone else to shoot, Emperor Cinema also has a film and television company, it's not that you can't make movies."
Xu Nan sighed, reluctantly: "Since you said so, then I can't shoot it, but I am also the originator of this type of film, if I am timid, I can't say it." ”
"Where are you now, I'll look for you."
Lin Ziyi reported her address, and then hung up the phone.
As soon as the phone was hung up, Xu Nan smiled.
It's true that someone sent a pillow as soon as he dozed off, and after the movie was filmed, he was struggling with how to communicate with the theater chain to get them released, but he didn't expect Lin Ziyi to take the initiative to call him.
During this time, he has also heard of the conflict between the theater chain and Cameron, and even this matter has been broken through the circle and spread to the Internet, so you can imagine how fierce the struggle between the two sides is.
Don't think about it, the theater chain must have been annoyed by Cameron's arrogant attitude, so Lin Ziyi called him and took the initiative to let him touch porcelain.
The other two theaters are estimated to have a similar attitude, and they are also angry with Cameron.
This is good news for him and gives him room to shine.
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for his movie to be released in theaters.
But now the theater chain has a lot of opinions about Cameron, and the theater line is estimated to be not a problem, and the theater chain may take the initiative to add a film to his copycat porcelain movie, which is specially used to disgust Cameron.
Even, the truth in his plan has the possibility of implementation.
What about Cameron?
It's you who touches the porcelain.
Xu Nan brought the edited movie, as well as a series of documents such as Titanic film and television adaptation rights, and took the car to the headquarters of Emperor Cinemas.
Soon, he met Lin Ziyi in the president's office.
"Give me a happy word, whether to shoot or not." Lin Ziyi was not polite and asked directly.
"Don't worry, you can take a look at this first." Xu Nan took out the prepared movie USB flash drive.
There is equipment inside the Imperial Cinema Line to watch movies directly, and the playback effect is also the top, no worse than the cinema.
Lin Ziyi wanted to ask the company's executives to watch it together, but was stopped by Xu Nan.
His plan must be kept strictly confidential, and once the news is leaked, it will not be able to achieve the desired effect.
The screen is lit up, there is no film and television company logo, no credits, and the movie enters the main topic from the beginning.
Seeing the familiar shoddy beginning, Lin Ziyi's expression, which had been through a hundred battles, did not change.
As the boss of the theater chain, she has watched many bad movies, and she has also watched many copycat porcelain pieces, and a similar shoddy beginning can't move her at all.
To put it mildly, when it comes to ugly, the cottage touches the porcelain piece and is not ranked.
But looking at it, her expression soon began to change.
This plot, why is it so familiar.
As the plot of the movie progressed, Lin Ziyi's expression began to change, and when she saw the big ship named Titanic 2, she finally couldn't help it.
"Are you a copycat version of the Titanic?"
"Yes." Xu Nan smiled and nodded.
Lin Ziyi glanced at Xu Nan: "You are too hypocritical, I used to say on the phone, 'This is Cameron, this is the sequel to the big ship', and he looked honestly afraid, but he turned his head and gave me a complete movie." ”
"You've already filmed it together, so you're waiting to show me."
Xu Nan's expression remained unchanged: "I'm not here to test your determination, Cameron's status is not ordinary." ”
"Huh." Lin Ziyi snorted coldly.
Hypocritical guys.
I decided to touch the porcelain Cameron early in the morning, but it turned out to be this reaction.
The plot of the movie continues, when she saw a man and a woman on the boat and then began to fall in love, and both men and women were ugly, Lin Ziyi felt that there was no need to watch it.
She stood up.
"Don't you continue to read it, the rest of the content is very exciting." Xu Nan asked.
"Don't read it, as long as you know that this is a copycat porcelain Titanic, I'm not interested in the rest of the content."
Lin Ziyi shook her head.
Not everyone likes copycats and porcelain pieces, in fact, there are only a few people who like this type of movie, and most people are still indifferent to this kind of movie.
Xu Nan regretfully closed the movie and pulled out the USB flash drive to avoid leaking the source of the film.
"It's a pity."
This movie is the brainchild of his heart, if Cameron's Titanic sings about freedom and love, then his film is just the opposite, anti-freedom and anti-love, containing his profound ideological connotation.
After all, he is also a director and has a desire to express himself.
If you touch other movies, you can shoot them step by step, but when you touch Cameron, you have to add some specifications and grades, and the cost of this movie has even reached a record million dollars, which can be said to be a hemorrhage.
The specifications are so high, it can be seen how much Xu Nan attaches importance to this movie.
Lin Ziyi didn't want to see it, it's a pity.
When the two returned to the office, Lin Ziyi was not polite, and said directly: "I suggest that you release this movie at the same time as Cameron." ”
"Don't worry, it won't affect your film schedule, I promise to give you the maximum schedule of this movie, and even I can persuade AMC Cinemas and Disney Cinemas to release your movie together, and also give you a good schedule."
Emperor Cinema Line has Nanhai Film and Television Co., Ltd., and Xu Nan and her are fellow countrymen, so Lin Ziyi has no scruples about speaking.
Xu Nan smiled: "Don't be in a hurry about the release, I have an idea, you can listen to it first." ”
"You say."
"What do you think the name of my movie is "Titanic 2"? When the time comes, it will be released at the same time as Cameron, so that the audience can't tell which movie is which. ”
"You can even deliberately not let Cameron's "Titanic 2" be released, and only release my movie, so that Cameron will suffer a big loss."
Lin Ziyi's eyes lit up.
Xu Nan's idea is so bold that just thinking about it makes me feel very exciting.
Come to think of it, Cameron is full of ambition and looks forward to his serious shooting, and the exhausted movie has received rave reviews and a box office hit after its release.
But in fact, the movie released in the theater is not his "Titanic 2" at all, but the copycat "Titanic 2" shot by Xu Nan.
The audience thought they were seeing a classic masterpiece shot by Cameron, but what they actually saw was Xu Nan's copycat porcelain.
This is not a kind of NTR.
But soon, Lin Ziyi shook her head.
"Impossible, this name Cameron has already been registered, and your movie title can't pass the review at all, and it's also illegal."
"Your trick won't work at all."
Xu Nan said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry about the legal issues, I'll solve it myself, as for the name registration, I definitely can't handle it, but what if you three major theaters join forces to help me?" ”
Lin Ziyi groaned: "The three major theaters join forces, of course it's not a problem, but your idea is too bold, it's just a fraud." ”
Xu Nan smiled: "This is not the point, the point is that your three major theaters are very dissatisfied with Cameron, he wants to increase the box office share, which is tantamount to damaging the interests of the theaters." ”
"If others follow the same example, won't the theater lose a lot of money in the future."
"In this case, just don't do it endlessly, come to kill chickens and monkeys, take the Cameron sacrifice flag, and let others see what the consequences of offending the theater are."
Lin Ziyi frowned and thought about it.
