Chapter 419: New Movie
With Apple, a new player, Netflix can no longer sit firmly on the Diaoyutai as before, and they are starting to get anxious.
Of course, Apple is just rich now, and it can't pose much of a threat to them, so Netflix is generally relatively calm.
Calm is calm, and what should be done is still indispensable.
There is a saying that strategically despise the opponent and tactically value the opponent.
Netflix did the same, and they began to abandon the arrogance of some monopoly groups and lower their stature a little.
This is too good for Xu Nan to sell films.
After negotiations between the two parties, Netflix successfully took a step back and bought the online broadcast rights of the movie "Falling Sakura God Axe Washington" for 32 million.
This price must be inflated, but Netflix still agreed.
Because of Apple, the spoiler, the most important thing is that the movie "Falling Sakura God Axe Washington" is worth it.
In terms of the quality of the movie alone, this movie may not work, but the starring role of this movie is Paris, who is running for president.
The movie starring the presidential candidate, did you find the second one?
What a first-line super first-line star, in front of the identity of a presidential candidate, they are all scum.
Netflix saw the unique value of this movie and chose to acquire it at a premium.
If Paris does become president, then this movie will really fly.
Well, in fact, everyone didn't think that far, there is still more than a year before the presidential election, and Netflix mainly thinks that Paris cannot be eliminated in the first round, and it should be able to survive until the middle and late stages, so that they will not lose.
The most important thing is not to let Apple take advantage.
After the news was transmitted, Xu Nan directly opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate, and the insiders were extremely shocked.
was able to take advantage of Netflix, how long has no one done it.
Even the three major theater chains are a little weak in front of Netflix, and Disney even opened a streaming platform by itself because of too much anger, even if it is a loss of money.
As a result, Xu Nan was able to take advantage, which is too rare.
At the same time, everyone in the circle felt very aggrieved.
"Why is this Chinese person so lucky every time?"
"Yes, the last movie had theatrical support, and in this movie, Paris ran for president, and Apple disrupted the situation."
"This guy is the illegitimate son of the god of luck."
If it is a director of the United States, he is so lucky, and the insiders are at most envious, jealous and hateful.
But if you change to a Chinese director, everyone feels very unbearable.
In the United States, whites are the absolute core, and other races are just vassals.
If Xu Nan joined the United States, it would be good, and the insiders might still be able to reluctantly accept him, after all, this country is a country of immigrants, but he did not join the United States, he is purely an outsider, and he is still so showy, which makes people very embarrassed.
If Xu Nan is a native of the United States, even if he has been following a crooked path and can continue to succeed, the people of the United States will not care too much, but think that he has the ability.
In a country where pirates are born, there are no morals at all, everything looks at money, and whoever succeeds is right.
But Xu Nan is a foreigner, and he is following a crooked path, and every time he cheats a director, then these insiders will look at Xu Nan very unpleasantly.
They won't do anything, but some gossip is inevitable.
"Xu's success depends on luck after all."
"Yes, if it weren't for the choice of Paris as the leading role, this movie would not have had such a high box office."
"He's got good marketing, but that's it."
For this kind of words, Xu Nan's ears were almost calloused when he heard it.
Not to be envied by others is mediocrity, and the more envious and jealous these insiders are, the more it shows his success from the side.
And not all insiders are envious, jealous and hateful, and some people still admit that Xu Nan has strength.
In the director's profession, you don't watch anything, just look at the box office of the movie to see if you can make money.
As long as the movie can have a high box office and make money, then everything is not a problem.
The movie "Falling Cherry Blossom Axe Washington" was a great success, not only helping Xu Nan make money, but also allowing him to confirm a successful model.
As long as this model is followed, the film has a high probability of success.
Xu Nan decided to hand over the sequel to Avi to handle it, anyway, he also followed Xu Nan to make a movie and knew how to make it.
Avi's ability is still good, and after studying with him for so long, there shouldn't be any problems.
Why Xu Nan didn't choose to make a sequel by himself is because he already has the inspiration for a new movie in his head.
With this new movie, the shooting cost will be lower, the quality of the film is not important at all, and the box office will almost all depend on marketing.
Didn't people in the circle always think that his sword was biased, relying on crooked ways?
They are right, this time, Xu Nan not only takes the crooked path, he also wants to run on the crooked path, he will use a way to subvert common sense, let everyone know that as long as the marketing is done well, any movie can make money.
And that's exactly what happened, isn't it?
Xu Nan first wrote a few lines of movie scripts on the computer, and then deleted them all.
This movie doesn't need a script, because the content of this movie will be very simple, so simple that even a college student can easily shoot it with a DVD.
Instead of writing the script first, it is better to get the marketing plan out first.
First of all, it should be like this. And then like that. then
Xu Nan began to retreat to conceive a new movie, and the people in the company knew about it, and no one bothered, so that Xu Nan could conceive a new movie with peace of mind.
With Xu Nan's success again and again, the people of the company are now extremely convinced of Xu Nan and firmly believe that he will lead the company further.
At this time, Emperor Cinema sent an invitation letter and invited Xu Nan to a banquet.
This is the annual gathering of the Imperial Cinema Line, as long as it is related to the Imperial Cinema Line, it will participate, Xu Nan's Nanhai Film and Television has 30% of the shares of the Imperial Cinema Line, of course, it is eligible to participate.
Emperor Cinema is one of the three major cinema chains in the United States, and most of the entertainment industry in the United States can have a relationship with them, so this party is extremely lively, and the people who come are insiders, many of whom are big stars and directors.
Even, ordinary people are not qualified to participate in this party, and if they want to enter the party, they need to spend money to buy an invitation, and an invitation can be sold for thousands of dollars outside, and they can't even buy it without connections.
Don't think that no one buys it, in fact, there are too many people who want to enter this party, Hollywood has never lacked handsome men and women, what is missing is only opportunities, if you can enter the party, maybe you will be able to find opportunities.
Many projects are agreed upon at similar gatherings, which is also a tradition in Hollywood.
Of course, Xu Nan doesn't need to spend money to buy invitations, and he can even bring people in, but everyone in the company has something to do, and he is the only one who attends this party.
Xu Nan recently retreated to think about the new movie, and his thinking head was a little swollen, so he simply came over to relax, which can be regarded as showing his attitude.
When I came to the banquet site, many people had already arrived, rubbing shoulders, men and women in formal clothes everywhere, the lights were as bright as day, and the banquet atmosphere was hot.
Xu Nan is an Asian, which is still quite eye-catching here, not that there are no Asians here, but there are relatively few Asians here, and the status is generally low.
But Xu Nan was different, seeing him coming, many people showed subtle expressions, and even if some people didn't know him, some people whispered to him.
Knowing that this is the Chinese director Xu Nan, who is known as the mudslide in the circle, many people have strange expressions, are a little reserved, or hold their own identities, and they are very uninterested in Xu Nan, and even a little hostile.
Those with low status are cautious, afraid of leaving a bad impression on Xu Nan.
Even if Xu Nan is hostile to many insiders, for many people at the banquet, he is also a high-ranking big man and cannot be offended.
In fact, being hostile has already proved Xu Nan's strength, and if he is an ordinary person, he doesn't even have the qualifications to be hostile, so he just ignores it.
Xu Nan ignored the strange expressions of some insiders, and blended into the crowd with a red wine glass.
There are too many people here today, many of them are famous producers and directors, as well as executives and bosses of major film and television companies, although Xu Nan is a little famous, but he is not the most dazzling one, and soon no one pays attention to it.
Of course, it is not that there are some men and women who are looking for opportunities to take the initiative to approach Xu Nan, these are people who want to act in movies and want to go crazy, and they are willing to give everything for this.
Hollywood is very open in this regard, and it is no longer an unspoken rule, it is directly clear, otherwise there would be no red sofa.
Xu Nan was not interested in these people at all, and directly declined.
He is not a conservative person, but he is really not interested in the United States, because it is not in his aesthetic point.
Moreover, the people of the United States generally have rough skin, and the smell on their bodies is still very great, Xu Nan really can't accept it.
After wandering in the hall for a while, suddenly, everyone's eyes were looking in one direction, and Xu Nan was no exception.
Lin Ziyi appeared, she was wearing a black evening dress, beautiful and mysterious, shrouded in lights, like a noble empress, looking down on all living beings.
Lin Ziyi can indeed be called the empress, the empress of the entertainment industry, she is in charge of the imperial cinema chain, and she can even be said to be the woman with the highest status in the entertainment industry in the United States.
Many times, a single thought of her can decide the life and death of some young actors or directors.
Everyone surrounded them like stars holding the moon, and many of them were big names in the circle.
Of course, the little people also want to leave an impression on Lin Ziyi, but it's a pity that their status is too low and they can't make it up at all.
For this kind of occasion, Lin Ziyi is like a fish in water, and she has dealt with all the people who should be dealt with decently, and it will not make people feel cold at all.
Especially those important people, she took the initiative to say hello, such as Xu Nan, Lin Ziyi came over to talk when she found an opportunity.
"Congratulations, the overseas box office trend of "Falling Cherry Blossom Axe Washington" is good, and the total global box office is very likely to exceed 500 million."
Xu Nan shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity, it's still not as good as North America." ”
Lin Ziyi smiled: "North America is originally the world's largest film market, and it is already very good to have such a box office." ”
"By the way, I heard that you are preparing a new movie, are there any missing characters, if so, can I introduce you to a few?"
Obviously, Lin Ziyi is very concerned about Xu Nan's new movie.
In fact, not only Lin Ziyi, but many people in the circle are very concerned about Xu Nan's new movie.
