Seeing Michael's unhappy expression, the producers didn't care.

Mi Guo is the producer in charge, strictly speaking, he is the number one in this movie, even if Michael is the director, he doesn't have to be afraid.

The producer said the reason: "Director Michael, you have also seen that the current online public opinion is very unfavorable to us, and the theater chain has even lowered the schedule of our films because of this. ”

"If we want to reverse the bad effects, we have to use tricks."

"I analyzed it, there are two main reasons for the poor response of the movie at present, one is the so-called Xu Nan's law, and the other is Jerry Brumheimer's sexual assault scandal."

"We can't interfere with Jerry Brusheimer's sexual assault, but we can change the law of Hyunan."

"Didn't netizens say that the porcelain touched by Xu Nan is a good movie, then we will let Xu Nan touch our movie, it just so happens that he and we are members of the same group, this matter is very easy to operate."

"When this news is revealed, we can take the opportunity to hype up and divert the audience's attention, and we can even juxtapose "The Lone Ranger" with "Titanic 2", "Spartan 300 Warriors" and "Pacific Rim" to make the audience curious about our movie."

"There are too many benefits for us to let Xu Nan touch porcelain, why don't we do it."

Michael hesitated: "However, Xu Nan once publicly insulted me, and I went to invite him to touch porcelain, which is too embarrassing." ”

He also thinks this trick is good, but the key is that it is very humiliating.

is also a big director, and he took the initiative to invite someone to touch the porcelain, and it didn't sound good to spread it.

The producer immediately said: "Michael, if the movie fails, your career will fall into a trough, you will be even more humiliated, you will not even have dignity, but the movie is successful, and no one cares about these things." ”

After thinking for a long time, Michael nodded with difficulty: "Okay, just do as you say." ”

I think that when he was filming his first movie, in order to attract investment, he begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and he was extremely humble.

Since he was able to bow his head and give up his dignity back then, what is it to bow his head temporarily for the sake of his career now.

As long as the movie is successful, everything is not a problem.

Shame, then shame.

On the other side, Xu Nan, who was preparing to shoot a movie, received a call from Lin Ziyi.

"What, Michael asked me to make a movie about The Lone Ranger?"

Xu Nan was confused, was there something wrong with this guy.

When I mistakenly thought that I touched porcelain, I was very unhappy, publicly mocked, found that I didn't touch porcelain, and came to beg me to touch porcelain.

Are you schizophrenic? Or not to be touched porcelain uncomfortable sky.

"That's right." Lin Ziyi quickly explained the situation.

"I see." Xu Nan finally understood.

It turned out that he wanted to use his porcelain to divert the audience's attention and reverse public opinion on the Internet.

It makes sense.

was able to come up with this trick, Michael, this guy is quite good at marketing.

"This thing is also good for you, you can make some box office, so you should hurry up and do it as soon as possible." Lin Ziyi admonished and was about to hang up the phone.

It's just a movie, this little thing, just say a word on the phone, there is no need to delay too much time.

"Wait." Xu Nan said suddenly: "How much money is Michael going to pay?" ”

"What?" Lin Ziyi was stunned.

Xu Nandao: "I asked, how much money Michael is going to pay for me to touch porcelain." ”

Lin Ziyi was speechless: "Is there any mistake, people allow you to touch porcelain, and you have to ask him to collect money, and you also make money from this movie." ”

Xu Nan: "The account can't be calculated like this, what movies did I touch porcelain in the past, such as "The Hobbit", "Pacific Rim", "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" and "Titanic 2", and now you let me touch a "Lone Ranger" with a production cost of only 80 million, isn't that lowering my grade."

And this movie has fallen into a storm of public opinion, touching this movie will damage my image, if Michael doesn't pay to make up for my loss, of course I won't make it. ”

Lin Ziyi is almost speechless to death, you are a director who specializes in filming copycat porcelain films, and you are embarrassed to talk about grade and image.

Do you have this thing.

But in business, Xu Nan said so, and she couldn't refute it.

"I'll let Michael talk to you, and you can discuss the details yourself."

Lin Ziyi hung up the phone and passed the news to Michael.

This was originally Michael's business, and she just had to pass on the word.

When Michael learned of Xu Nan's request, he was also stunned.

Make no mistake, you touch me, and then ask me to give money, this is even more humble than a prostitute.

At least the prostitute is taking money, and not only can he not collect money, but he has to give money.

What is this called?

The producer said: "The most important thing now is to turn public opinion, and everything else is a minutiae." ”

"I'll talk to him about this matter, I won't let him open his mouth, and I will also ask him to cooperate with our propaganda and help us turn public opinion."

Not only Michael values the film's achievements, but the producers also value it, and if "The Lone Ranger" hits the streets, his career will also be affected.

Michael breathed a sigh of relief, it was best for the producer to talk about it, he couldn't pull his face to beg Xu Nan to touch porcelain.

Because things were in a hurry, the producer took a plane on the same day and met with Xu Nan.

"For 500,000 US dollars, I made a porcelain movie, and I have thought of a name, and it will be called "Lone Wanderer"."

As soon as they met, Xu Nan laid out his conditions.

The producer immediately exclaimed: "This is crazy, you can't even use $500,000 to make a movie, and you actually asked me for $500,000." ”

Xu Nan shook his head: "No, no, no, I need $700,000 to make a movie, and $500,000 is a discounted price." ”

Producer: "I'm a professional, and the cost of your film will never exceed $300,000, so I can only pay you $300,000 at most." ”

Xu Nan nodded: "Okay, it's 300,000 US dollars." ”

Producer: "."

He felt that he had suffered a loss, but there was nothing he could do.

"I can pay you $300,000, but only if you cooperate with our propaganda and help us turn public opinion." The producer remedied.

Xu Nan nodded again: "No problem, I will help promote it." ”

Producer: "."

"In addition to cooperating with the publicity, you also need to finish the film in a very short time, our "Lone Ranger" will be released in ten days, you have to complete the preparation, shooting, editing and post-production of the film in 12 days, I know it is very difficult, but you have to do it, if you can't do it, you will deduct money."

Xu Nan smiled: "It doesn't take twelve days, seven days is fine, if you're in a hurry, we can be a little faster." ”

Producer: "."

I always feel like I've suffered a loss.
