"Mr. Xu Nan, I'm curious, why did you come to the United States as a Chinese?"

Vincent, the host of the show, asked.

Xu Nan replied: "Many people want to come to the United States because it is the most developed country in the world, and the reason why I came to the United States is very simple, it is easy to make money here." ”

Vincent smiled: "Easy to make money, how to say?" ”

Xu Nan spread his hands: "Isn't it easy, the filming cost of "District 51" is less than 50,000 US dollars, but it has achieved a good result of 1 billion US dollars. ”

Xu Nan's demeanor is very casual, with a taste of a college student, that is, that kind of clear innocence.

Looking at him, it seems that making money is really easy, as easy as drinking water.

Vincent laughed: "According to you, it seems really easy to make money, but as far as I know, the movie "Area 51" also spent a lot of money on promotion. ”

Xu Nan nodded: "Yes, this movie did spend a lot of money on promotion, but it was not included in the shooting cost." ”

Vincent: "But even if you spend a lot of money on publicity, you can't deny the success of this film, this is a work that can be recorded in the history of American cinema, I am curious, how did you come up with the idea of promoting it in this way?" ”

Xu Nan thought for a while, and then replied: "The reason why I chose this way of thinking is mainly because after I came to the United States, I found that the people of the United States are very anti-intellectual. ”

"This kind of anti-intellectualism sometimes doesn't even have any reason at all, and some ridiculous conspiracy theories have a very broad market, and many people really believe in them, and even some cults openly preach without anyone taking care of them."

"So I thought, why not take advantage of this emotion, and so the movie "Area 51" was born."

Vincent nodded involuntarily as he listened.

The anti-intellectualism of the people of the United States has not only been observed by Xu Nan, but also noticed by many people with lofty ideals in the United States, and there are even experts who specialize in studying this.

just used the anti-intelligence of the rice people to get the box office, and Xu Nan was the first.

Someone should try to learn from him in the future, but it won't be easy to succeed in this matter.

Vincent asked again: "In addition to "Area 51", you also filmed "The Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta", "Atlantic Rim", and "The Hobbit Era", which are three copycat porcelain pieces, creating the film genre of copycat porcelain pieces. ”

"Excuse me, how did you come up with the idea of making this type of movie?"

Xu Nan blinked: "Actually, I made this type of movie, it was an accident, many people in the United States may not know that the earliest copycat porcelain piece was actually made by me in Huaxia." ”

"At that time, I took over a company that was about to go bankrupt, with less than $30,000 in money and a foreign debt."

"At that time, in order to pay off my debts, I had to make a movie with a similar name to the big production."

"At that time, my idea was very simple, as long as I could gain a little popularity, I could make 100,000 US dollars, but I didn't expect that the unexpected popularity of this movie made me tens of millions of US dollars, and then I found this business opportunity."

Vincent showed a surprised expression: "It's crazy to make tens of millions of dollars." ”

"yes." Xu Nan nodded.

In fact, Xu Nannan turned the process of his own start, and deliberately said it as if he was forced to do so.

After all, there are still many people who have a certain prejudice against copycat porcelain tiles.

And this kind of statement is very interesting and easier to spread.

If you think, one is to observe quietly, and come to the conclusion that there is a market for copycat porcelain tiles, and then shoot successfully.

The other is forced to be helpless, casually patted, and unexpectedly succeeded.

It is clear that the latter is easier to spread and easier to remember.

Successful people always have to have an interesting little story to set up a character.

Isn't that what everybody does?

Vincent didn't ask for details, but chatted with Xu Nan like a friend.

He asked a lot of questions, but they didn't make Xu Nan feel embarrassed, but felt very comfortable.

The two talked a lot and talked about everything.

Finally, Vincent asked: "You have achieved great success in the United States, but as far as I know, you are still a foreigner, and you don't even have a green card, may I ask, have you ever thought about joining the United States?" ”

Xu Nan shook his head resolutely: "I never thought about it." ”

The United States is a country of immigrants, and the people here don't really value their original nationality.

If Xu Nan chooses to join the rice country and become a rice country, then relying on his current status and achievements, he can actually make the rice people accept him with a little effort.

Although the country is predominantly white, other races can actually live well in this country, as long as you accept the values here and try to fit in with them.

But Xu Nan didn't want to do this, because this was not his motherland, and even if he had laid a good foundation here, he still didn't want to stay.

Vincent was surprised: "Never? ”

Xu Nan's answer surprised him.

Because many people do not hesitate to abandon their wives and children in order to become a Mi Chinese, traveling thousands of miles, and even risking their lives.

Coupled with the fact that the national strength of the United States is the first, the people will inevitably have an arrogant mood.

So hearing about Xu Nan's country, Vincent was a little shocked.

Xu Nan nodded seriously: "Yes, I never thought of becoming a citizen of the United States, and besides, I am about to leave the United States and return to my own country." ”

Vincent was even more surprised: "I'm going back soon." ”

Xu Nan nodded: "That's right." ”

Vincent: "But your film 'Area 51' has just been a huge success. ”

Xu Nan suddenly showed a strange smile: "I remember when I came to the United States for the first time to participate in the show, I said that I would use my movies to conquer the audience of the United States, and I would also teach the directors of the United States how to make movies." ”

"A lot of people said I was dreaming, but it turned out that I did."

"Now that the goal of coming to the United States has been accomplished, then of course there is no need for me to continue to stay here."

Vincent: "."

Are you serious?

He had indeed heard such a statement, but he didn't expect Xu Nan to say it again.

But thinking of Xu Nan's character, Vincent felt that this was normal.

Just saying that, it's easy to be beaten.

After the recording of the program was completed, it was broadcast as soon as possible, and the TV station basically did not edit anything, and broadcast all the words Xu Nan said.

In the United States, Xu Nan still has a certain popularity, coupled with the audience base of the TV station, after the program was broadcast, there were many people who watched it.

There is no doubt that Xu Nan's words have caused a certain amount of controversy.

In particular, Xu Nan said that he was about to return to China.

The news of Xu Nan's return to China spread all over the Internet in a short period of time.
