This director only makes bad movies

After getting the answer, Li Hua sat down with satisfaction.

This time Xu Nan's reply was very good, very decent and polite.

Compared with the arrogance of the last press conference, this time it was like a different person.

"Hello Director Xu Nan, I am a reporter from Ocean Entertainment. Since you have admitted that the films your company has made before are all bad, then you will not feel ashamed if you still make bad films knowing that they are bad and release them in theaters. I'm sorry. The audience."

"Ahem." Xu Nan coughed: "Although the movie I made is bad, in fact, the quality is still passable. It's just that the service is a little bit worse, and the story is complete. The audience won't know if they go to the cinema to watch the movie. I feel like it’s a waste of time.”

"This can be seen from the reactions of some viewers. They said the movie was very good and watched it several times in a row."

A reporter from Ocean Entertainment asked: "So you think the bad movies you made are not completely bad movies?"

"Next question."

"Hello Director Xu, I am from Chengzi Entertainment. You just said that you spent five years and worked hard to create the new movie "Captain China". Can you tell me what kind of person this movie is about?" As for the story, how much did it cost to shoot?”

Xu Nan took the microphone and replied: "I can tell you the cost of filming first, which is 100 million. The cost is 100 million."

There was a commotion in the press box.

At present, there are only a few domestic films with a box office of more than 100 million yuan. The cost of 100 million yuan is a treatment that only a few large-scale productions can have.

Strictly speaking, the production cost of 100 million can already be regarded as a top-notch production. If Xu Nan invites one or two first-line stars to join, it will be a truly top-notch production.

Many reporters silently recorded this information.

This news alone is worth the price of admission.

Lin Hongxiu, who was sitting next to him, had a flash of doubt in his big eyes.

Didn't you say that the production cost was 50 million, why did it suddenly cost 100 million?

Xu Nan continued to answer: "As for the story of the movie, it is very simple, an anti-Japanese story, but the audience is tired of the old anti-Japanese stories, so I introduced new elements and new concepts in it, which is superheroes. "

"What is a superhero? As the name suggests, it is an existence that transcends ordinary people. Such an existence will inevitably bring subversive changes to traditional anti-Japanese films."

"Of course, I can't reveal too much about the specific plot due to confidentiality reasons. After the movie is released, you can go to the cinema to experience it for yourself."

"But I can assure you that this movie will never disappoint you."

Soon after the question was answered, another reporter stood up.

"Hello Director Xu Nan, many viewers are now curious about how much money you made in total through the first two movies. Can you tell us?"

Xu Nan nodded: "No problem, I have nothing to hide from the audience. The first movie "Along the River on a Sunny Day" had a box office of 130 million, and the streaming rights are more than 10 million. When combined, after deducting some miscellaneous The expenses and income are about 60 million."

"As for "Taoist Bian Shan", this movie has not been released yet. Judging from the current box office trend, the revenue will not be less than 10 million."

For ordinary film companies and directors, the real income must be concealed if they can. Even if they must be revealed, they will try to be as vague as possible, that is, they will not give an accurate figure.

After all, wealth is not revealed in vain.

But Xu Nan doesn't need to do this. For him, being the director with the highest return rate is a good gimmick that can be used to maintain his fame.

The reporters were very satisfied with Xu Nan's unpretentious answer.

I like this kind of candid person, and the audience will definitely like this answer too.

Because the audience are all lay people and are very concerned about money.

"Hello, Director Xu Nan."

Another reporter stood up and asked Xu Nan a question.

It's strange to say that Lin Hongxiu, the top trafficker, is sitting next to her, but the reporters are focusing on Xu Nan.

After a long time, someone asked.

"Xu Nan, why did you choose Lin Hongxiu to play the leading role? As far as I know, she has no acting experience. Are you sure that letting Lin Hongxiu play the leading role will have a good impact on the movie?"

When talking about this, Lin Hongxiu became a little nervous and her expression became more solemn.

Xu Nan's expression remained unchanged: "Letting Lin Hongxiu play the leading role was a decision I made after careful consideration. You may not believe it, but in fact, my script was based on Lin Hongxiu."

"She is the heroine in my mind. No one else is suitable except her. I don't know what you think of Lin Hongxiu, but I have a good impression of her. In her eyes, I see the right There is a kind of awe and yearning in the performance. I believe that in this state, she will not hold back the crew."

"What's more, there are many veteran actors in the crew who are rich in experience. I believe that with their leadership, Lin Hongxiu will quickly join the cast."

Lin Hongxiu next to her beamed with joy when she heard this.

It seemed that this question drew the reporter's attention to Lin Hongxiu, and someone immediately asked her a question.

"Hello, Miss Lin Hongxiu, there was news before that you were in contact with the big directors in the industry. Why did you choose Summit Film and Television and Xu Nan in the end?"

This is not the first time Lin Hongxiu has been interviewed. She has had similar experiences and answered reporters' questions appropriately.

"Because Director Xu Nan is very sincere, in order to invite me to star in his movie, he took the initiative to meet with me and try to convince me."

"When the two of us met, he directly took out the script and attached it with the storyboard. As soon as I saw the image of Yan Hongying, I fell in love. At that time, I thought this character was very good. I must appear."

The reporter asked again: "Lin Hongxiu, you don't have any acting experience. Do you think you can play the role well?"

Lin Hongxiu nodded: "I think I can. Maybe as a newcomer, I will be a little uncomfortable, but I will work hard."

"Everyone is a newcomer. If others can do it, then I can do it too."

The reporter nodded and sat down.

Soon another reporter came forward and asked: "There are rumors that you were able to star in Xu Nan's new movie because you brought money to join the team. Is this true or false?"

Without waiting for Lin Hongxiu's answer, Xu Nan directly retorted: "Rumors are definitely rumors. There is no such thing as bringing money into the group. All the funds for "Captain China" were raised by myself and have nothing to do with Lin Hongxiu. .”

"I would like to solemnly declare here that as a director, I have strict requirements for the quality of my films. If Lin Hongxiu cannot meet my standards, I will never let her play the leading role."

"Let's just say I'm not the kind of director to compromise for money, absolutely not."
