This director only makes bad movies

Chapter 390 No problem making money

The Hidden History meme has been around longer than most people think.

The reason is mainly because there are too many elements in this meme.

Memes like "Blue Skinny Mushroom, Can't Be Injured", "Here Comes Brother", etc., are just talking about being more devilish. The popularity of this kind of meme will disappear after a week.

But hidden history is different, there are too many elements.

Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kennedy, the Civil War, World War I and World War II, etc., anything related to history can become a meme.

The key is that netizens can participate in this meme and contribute to it.

Just like fake countries on the Internet, hidden history can be participated by the public. As long as you want, you can make up a so-called hidden history and publish it anytime and anywhere.

This hidden history can be a fake photo. For example, a netizen Photoshopped Decepticons onto World War II pictures and then posted them.

"You know why World War II was so difficult. It was because Germany had the help of the Decepticons. At the beginning, we were defeated by the Decepticons. Later, it was President Roosevelt who found Megatron to help us and finally defeated them. .”

Or netizens can make up an experience that looks real anytime, anywhere.

"I am a member of the U.S. Army and I once performed a mission in Afghanistan. I can tell you clearly that the Tabanli organization in Afghanistan is supported by the Martians. Otherwise, why would this third world country have any peace with the people? We have been fighting for more than ten years."

"Yes, I remember that on September 11, the Martian Titan warships arrived and destroyed a city with one blow. Fortunately, our president at that time summoned the Washington Ax and destroyed the Martian warships with one blow. It forced the Martians to give up their plan to directly attack the United States. At that time, I faced a company of Martians alone and wiped them all out with a pistol. I even got an interview with the president and was awarded the Medal of Honor. Unfortunately, the gods wanted to keep themselves My status has erased everyone’s memory. I have no choice but to retire and return to the farm to continue living. Are any of my comrades from back then still alive? Can you please let me know?"

Or, become the Riddler and start talking in secret.

"The history you learned is all false."

"No, you dare to tell such a secret. Have you forgotten the confidentiality agreement?"

"I am willing to sacrifice for the sake of all mankind."

It is precisely because this meme has huge elements and no threshold for participation that it has become more and more popular, and there are no signs of weakening for the time being.

Naturally, the popularity of Xu Nan's movies continues to rise.

Five days before the movie was released, Xu Nan was interviewed by a reporter, and violent comments were made frequently.

"Someone tried to kill me yesterday. At that time, he ran up behind me, took out a gun and shot to kill me. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and dodged at the critical moment."

"I want to say that no matter what kind of blow, there is no way to stop me from broadcasting the movie. Human beings have the right to know the truth. I want to use movies to restore a real Washington to everyone. Nothing can stop me, not even death. "

Netizens responded to this.

"Well done Xu Nan."

"You are a hero, just like Prometheus."

"Well said, humans have the right to know the truth."

"Hidden history should be made public and cannot be hidden forever."

Three days before the movie was released, the crew attended an event. It rained heavily that day, with thunder and lightning in the sky.

Netizens’ comments are.

"Sure enough, the gods don't want humans to know the truth."

"They got angry and tried to stop everything."

"Xu Nan, please give up. If you continue, you will die."

Anyway, if there is a slight disturbance, netizens will have a lot of fun playing memes, and the more they play, the more fun they get.

At this point, there is no need for anyone to guide it. The spontaneous actions of netizens alone are enough to make the movie's popularity soar.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Nan re-contacted the theater chains and asked them to increase the number of screening theaters and improve the film schedule.

The theater chain also noticed the overwhelming popularity of "Washington", and after some discussion, they quickly agreed to Xu Nan's request.

According to the latest negotiation results, "Washington" has opened in 2,500 theaters, accounting for 35% of the film schedule.

This is an exaggerated number. Generally, only truly top-level major productions can receive this treatment, but Xu Nan got it by relying on a movie that cost no more than one million.

The reason is that the popularity of the movie is too high, and popularity can often be converted into box office.

After the news spread, people in the circle became speechless.

They understand better than anyone what it means to have 2,500 theaters open and a 35% filming ratio.

As long as the quality of the movie is not completely crappy, many viewers will naturally choose to watch it.

This is the power of theater support.

The person who was most angry about this result was none other than Al Gore, the director of "The Bourne Supremacy".

He was the person who had the greatest impact on the opening of theaters and the improvement of film schedules for Xu Nan's films, because his film "The Bourne Supremacy" was released the day after the release of "Washington".

If "Washington" always has the same number of opening theaters and proportion of films scheduled, then "The Bourne Supremacy" will be squeezed in the number of theaters opening and the proportion of films scheduled, and the box office will also be affected. Influence.

Therefore, Gore is the person least able to accept this result.

He decisively contacted the theater.

"The number of theaters to open and the proportion of films to be filmed have been agreed upon a long time ago. Why should we adjust it?"

"I can guarantee that "The Bourne Supremacy" will be popular, and it will definitely be better than the spoof film "Washington"."

"I know he is very popular, but high popularity doesn't mean anything. The original "Batman and Robin" was very popular, but in the end it suffered a disastrous failure."

"Okay, I know."

Gore finally hung up the phone feebly.

The producer asked from the side: "What did the theater say?"

Gore said helplessly: "They said that the number of theater screenings and film schedule should be determined based on audience feedback. If "The Bourne Supremacy" receives a good response after its release, they will increase the number of theater screenings and increase the film schedule."

The producers had anticipated this.

The theater chain is the most realistic, everything depends on money. Now that the movie "Washington" is so popular, of course they will react. It is normal for Gore to be frustrated.

"Don't worry about Al Gore. After all, "Washington" is just a spoof. Even if it becomes more popular, has more theaters, and has a higher proportion of films, it won't matter."

"The quality of our movies is here, so at least we can make money."

Gore sighed: "I hope so."
