This director only makes bad movies

Xu Nan would pay attention to domestic news, but he didn't take it to heart.

He is now in the United States, and the domestic turmoil cannot affect him.

The company's Peak Film and Television business is running well, and its life is very nourishing thanks to its filming.

You can't make big money, but you can still make a small amount of money.

There was also female star Shi Shi, who asked him when he would go back to film movies.

Xu Nan answered perfunctorily and quickly.

He was having fun in the United States, so there was no need to go back so soon.

"In three days, there will be a celebration party for "Titanic 2," so remember to come and attend."

Lin Ziyi made a phone call, which made Xu Nan extremely helpless.

Is there any mistake? As a director, I don't even plan to hold a celebration party, but your theater chain actually arranged it for me.

It's too "good" for me.

Just kidding, the theater chain certainly didn't hold the celebration banquet just for Xu Nan's sake.

The real reason is that theaters want to demonstrate and show their strength.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the fact that Xu Nan made fake movies has nothing to do with the theater chain.

Let’s not talk about the name of the legally registered movie, but let’s talk about the release. If it weren’t for the strong support of the three major theater chains, why would Xu Nan’s fake movie be released openly, and why would it continue to be released in the three theaters after it was revealed to be a fake movie? Released in theaters.

I really thought it was a mistake in the work of the three major theater chains.

In fact, they did it on purpose and deliberately wanted to give Cameron a look.

They want to take this opportunity to announce one thing to all directors in the industry. This matter is that the entertainment industry and theater chains have the final say.

No matter how big a director you are or how famous you are, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with theaters, let alone adjust the share of a movie.

Therefore, not only did they continue to release Xu Nan's movies in the name of their work mistakes, they also held a grand celebration banquet for Xu Nan and invited many people in the industry to attend.

This is completely holding Xu Nan on fire.

In fact, Xu Nan didn't want to be so high-profile at all.

He is a foreigner, a director who makes knockoff films, and he made another fake movie. This is exactly when he needs to keep a low profile.

But the theater chain didn't want him to keep a low profile, so they immediately prepared a celebration banquet, and it wouldn't work if he didn't go.

People in the arena involuntarily.

Xu Nan must go to this celebration banquet.

And the theater chain does have reasons to hold this celebration banquet.

So far, the cumulative box office of Xu Nan's "Titanic 2" has reached 450 million US dollars. According to the current box office trend, it is unlikely to exceed 500 million US dollars, but 478 million US dollars is still no problem. of.

The reason for this is because this movie is so popular.

Who wouldn't want to see such an interesting thing as a fake movie, especially in the first few days when the theaters were full.

The three major theater chains also provided full support and provided high-standard film schedules, which resulted in this movie having such a high box office.

In contrast, Cameron's "Titanic 2" only grossed US$310 million at the box office, which can be said to have gone to grandma's house.

In fact, Cameron is already very strong. Even though only 20% of theaters screen his movies, he still has a box office of more than 300 million, which fully illustrates the quality of his movies and their box office appeal.

But still lost money.

Cameron is depressed.

In fact, if the quality of his second movie is as high as the first, even if it is released in only 20% of theaters, it can still crush Xu Nan and complete the counterattack against heaven.

But unfortunately, no.

The quality of Cameron's "Titanic 2" can only be said to be excellent, and it is not as flawless as the first film.

Many people were not optimistic about "Titanic", but it had great stamina and was released continuously for a long time before it broke the record.

"Titanic 2" does not have the staying power of "Titanic", and if it were not for the real and fake movie incident, the box office of this movie may be lower.

Cameron's experience reveals a cruel fact.

Without the support of the three major theater chains, even if you are known as the world's number one director, you still won't get box office.

So, don’t show off in front of theaters. If you want to show off, please look at what happened to Cameron.

There is a saying that kills the chicken to scare the monkeys. Cameron was the chicken that was killed, and the directors in the industry who were ready to renegotiate their share of the movie with the theaters were the monkeys who were warned.

Xu Nan is a knife, a knife for killing chickens.

On the surface, he did this alone, but in fact, the theater chain was the mastermind.

But what is speechless is that whether it is Cameron or the director, it is Xu Nan who bears the grudge in the end, not the theater chain.

Cameron sued Xu Nan, but not the theater chain.

Directors in the industry were scolding Xu Nan, not the theater chain.

There is no way, who calls Xu Nan weak? The big daddy of the theater chain does not dare to offend, so everyone can only spread their anger on Xu Nan, a foreign weakling.

Moreover, Xu Nan doesn't make as much money as the theaters. He can only get 15% of the more than 400 million box office, but the theaters get 85%.

Part of the reason why theater chains give Xu Nan's movies such high rankings is because of the box office share.

In general, the theater chain actually lost money, but not much.

With Cameron's reputation and the quality of the movie, there may be no chance of a billion dollar movie, but a box office of 8 to 9 billion is still very possible.

For a 50% share, the theater chain can also share 400-500 million, but for Xu Nan's movie, they can only share 300-400 million, which is a small loss.

But the accounts cannot be settled that way.

The theater chain suffered a small loss at the box office, but it successfully shocked everyone in the industry, declared their unique monopoly position, and prevented anyone from negotiating with them for box office share in the future.

From this point of view, theater chains are making money, and they are making huge profits.

Xu Nan actually made a profit, with a box office of more than 400 million. Even if he only received 15% of the box office share, he could still get 50 to 60 million US dollars.

This is the money he earns from doing dirty work for theaters.

This movie cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but it grossed hundreds of millions at the box office. It can be said to have set a record of making a big difference with a small amount.

And this record is difficult to break.

To have this box office, Cameron's appeal, the full support of the theaters, and the enthusiastic viewing of the audience are all indispensable.

The right time and the right place and the right people created such a small miracle that made a big difference.

Miracles are called miracles because they are difficult to replicate.

I believe that no one will be able to break this record for a long time.

And Xu Nan, who apparently created this miracle, naturally became the center of attention and was in the limelight.

It was natural for Lin Ziyi to invite him to the celebration banquet.

After all, he made the movie and made the suggestion. Most of this situation is his fault.

It's too late to pretend to be a white lotus now.

Even if you pretend to be a white lotus, it's useless. Everyone still thinks you did it. You might as well attend this celebration party and pretend to have a good relationship with the theater to let others know that you are not someone to be trifled with.
