This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 482 Confronting Eternal Man Head-on

The rhetoric of special effects team leader Yang Ping made Xu Nan very pleased.

He also believed that Yang Ping could do it.

Many people regard special effects as a tall thing, thinking that it is a high-tech and very complicated.

But in fact, whether the special effects are good or not depends on manpower in the final analysis.

To put it bluntly, there are not enough programmers.

There is no technical threshold for this thing, as long as there are enough programmers, any special effects can be made for you.

In terms of manpower, the country has always been worthy.

Xu Nan has been to Hollywood and visited those special effects companies, so he knows very well the level of special effects in Hollywood.

Domestic special effects are not bad. The reason why they were not as good as Hollywood before is because domestic film companies are not willing to spend money.

In the domestic movie market, it is the movie stars who make the audience pay the most for tickets, not some high-end special effects.

The film company is naturally market-oriented and spends money on actors instead of all the special effects.

It cannot be said that they are short-sighted. It can only be said that there are no successful examples in the market, so they dare not take risks.

This gave Xu Nan the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.

And no one except him has the courage to spend 80.00% of the funds on special effects.

It was the first time to meet such a powerful director, and these special effects companies were even more excited.

After completing this order, it doesn't matter if it doesn't open for a few years.

After inspecting the crew, it was confirmed that there was no problem, and the filming officially started.

Thanks to Xu Nan's foresight, the protagonist was designed to be blind.

Liu Shishi's biggest shortcoming was filled, so the filming went smoothly.

In fact, as a first-line star, Liu Shishi still has some acting skills, but his eyes are a bit dull.

But setting the protagonist as a blind man with a little wooden eyes is no longer a disadvantage, but an advantage.

Xu Nan dared to say that there is no one in China who is more suitable for this blind role than Liu Shishi.

Innate advantages, others can not compare.

There is no problem with the lead role, the director Xu Nan has rich experience, the crew is basically veterans, and the filming of the whole movie went very smoothly.

Throughout the filming process, I did not encounter any major problems, and occasionally some minor problems were quickly resolved.

In the midst of this smoothness, two months passed quickly, and the film was successfully completed.

The special effects team did not disappoint Xu Nan either. Stimulated by the money, this group of programmers exerted [-]% of their power to make the special effects scenes extremely delicate and magnificent.

Special effects team leader Yang Ping slapped his chest loudly, assuring that this is definitely the best special effect in China.

After watching the movie, Xu Nan confirmed that Yang Ping, the special effects team leader, did not speak.

The special effects of "Glaster" are not only the best in China, but also surpassed most Hollywood movies.

The reason is simple, domestic prices are low, and the same money can achieve better results than Hollywood.

The money spent on special effects in the movie "Glaster" is almost 6000 million to 500 million U.S. dollars.

In Hollywood, it would cost at least [-] million U.S. dollars to make it.

There are only a handful of movies that Hollywood is willing to spend so much money on special effects.

When the movie is released, it will inevitably bring a strong shock to domestic audiences.

After a series of tasks such as dubbing, color matching, and editing are completed in the post-production stage, the most important part of the film will soon be released.

And if you want to be released, the choice of schedule is the most important thing.

In the office, Liu Yang held his mobile phone and frowned.

"Every good schedule is occupied by big productions. Even if it is a slightly worse schedule, the movie looks good."

Although Liu Yang knows that 90.00% of these movies are paper tigers, only a very few are real tigers.

But before the movie is released, no one knows which movie is a real tiger and which movie is a paper tiger.

These movies, no matter the lineup, themes, or other aspects, look very fierce.

Even if Liu Yang has confidence in Xu Nan and "Glaring Man", watching these big productions makes him feel a little bit drummed.

"Mr. Xu, which schedule should I choose? I feel that choosing any schedule is very dangerous."

Xu Nan smiled: "Don't think about it, it's June [-]rd."

"June [-]rd?" Liu Yang quickly flipped to this date, and glanced at which movie would be released at this time.

Then, his eyes widened.

"Mr. Xu, you are not mistaken, on June [-]rd, the big Hollywood production "Eternal Man" will be released,"

"Is this a big Hollywood production?"

Liu Yang was shocked.

Hollywood has always been synonymous with high quality and high box office in China.

Since the marketization of Chinese films, Hollywood has been attacking cities and territories in China, and every time it is released, it can grab a lot of box office, and there are only a few occasional losses.

Compared with other big productions, the threat of Hollywood is more terrifying.

Mr. Xu couldn't figure it out, he insisted on going head-to-head with Hollywood.

Can't you choose another time to go head-to-head with other major domestic productions?
If the big domestic productions are tigers, then Hollywood blockbusters are wild beasts, which are not of the same level at all.

Xu Nan smiled: "It's a big Hollywood production."

Liu Yang frowned: "Mr. Xu, I think it's better to think about it carefully."

"It's not that I'm afraid, the main thing is that there's no need to take that risk."

"Why don't they be released on May [-]st? It's just a three-day holiday, and the few movies released don't look very good."

Xu Nan shook his head: "What about big Hollywood productions? It's not like I haven't fought before. Last time "Dragonfly Man 3" was blown up by me face to face."

Liu Yang was a little speechless. The last time "Dragonfly Man 3" was not a special case. Hollywood blockbusters are so fierce, who can guarantee to win every time.

But Mr. Xu is so confident, can't you tell?

"President Xu, have you thought of a good way to promote it?" Liu Yang's eyes lit up.

Liu Yang refused to accept anything else, but Xu Nan's marketing ability.

Mr. Xu's marketing ability is at the level against the sky. No matter what kind of mess the movie is, he can make the box office explode through marketing.

As long as Mr. Xu starts marketing, not to mention Hollywood blockbusters, even alien blockbusters will still be crushed.

To say something that might not be politically correct, what Liu Yang misses the most is the time when Mr. Xu made bad movies and then used marketing to make them hit the box office.

Some time ago, Xu Nan filmed "The Beginning" with the help of word-of-mouth. Although Liu Yang was happy, he was not as excited as a bad movie.

How exciting is it to sell a bad movie. First of all, there are negative reviews on the whole network, and everyone is not optimistic. Then Mr. Xu's marketing is against the sky, and he comes back to life. The box office sells well, and everyone exclaims that it is impossible.

It felt like going on a roller coaster.

Thief exciting.

Now Mr. Xu dares to face-to-face with Hollywood blockbusters, he must be confident.

Definitely planning something again.

This time, Mr. Xu, how does he plan to market against the sky and shock the world?

Liu Yang felt inexplicably looking forward to it.

However, Xu Nan glanced at Liu Yang and shook his head: "There is no special means of publicity, just normal publicity, relying on absolute quality to crush the opponent?"

"No?"

"No."

"Really not?"

"Not really."

"But it's a Hollywood blockbuster." Liu Yang couldn't believe it.

Xu Nan said seriously: "I told you, it's a big Hollywood production."

"Nowadays, domestic directors regard Hollywood blockbusters as a scourge. No one dares to confront them head-on, and they all feel that it is impossible to win."

"As the highest-grossing director in China, of course I have to set an example and tell domestic filmmakers that Hollywood blockbusters are nothing more than that, and there is nothing to fear."

Liu Yang was dumbfounded.

When did Mr. Xu's consciousness become so high?

Needless to say, when Mr. Xu said this, he instantly looked taller, which made his blood boil.

Xu Nan continued: "And our "Glaster" has achieved the ultimate in special effects and quality, even better than Hollywood movies."

"But it's useless to say such things with your mouth alone. Only by defeating Hollywood blockbusters head-on can people admit it."

"I just want to use practical actions to tell domestic filmmakers that Hollywood blockbusters are not gods, and they can be defeated."

"The rise of domestic films started with me."

What he said made Liu Yang's blood boil.

He is on fire.

Liu Yang was extremely excited: "Okay, since Mr. Xu has said so, then we will do it this time."

"The high quality of "Glaster" is really nothing to be afraid of."

"I don't believe that Hollywood is really invincible. We defeated "Dragonfly" last time. This time, "Eternal Man" has nothing to fear."

"The last time we relied on marketing, this time we are upright, relying on quality to blow up Hollywood blockbusters, leaving people in the industry speechless."

"I'm going to contact the theater now."

Liu Yang left in a hurry.

Xu Nan couldn't help laughing.

Liu Yang is really fooling around.

In fact, the reason why he chose to release "Eternal Man" on the same day is because he knows that this movie is rubbish, and "Glaring Man" can step on the top of this movie.

As for how to know, the reason is very simple.

"Eternal Man" had already had a theater test screening in the United States, and Lin Ziyi told him that this movie was very rubbish, it was simply horrible.

There are almost no special effects screens, the whole process is literary and dramatic, and the plot is messy and incomprehensible.

There is even a plot that is a super poisonous point for Chinese people.

It just so happened that there was a similar movie in the previous life, which was also bloody.

Since this is the case, then Xu Nan has nothing to be afraid of.

Of course, part of the reason is to defeat Hollywood movies head-on and tell domestic filmmakers that there is nothing terrible about Hollywood movies.

Don't domestic movies think that he can only rely on crooked methods, so this time I will crush Hollywood blockbusters by relying on quality, leaving you speechless.

A hit movie in the same period hits the street, which is a great benefit for another movie, and has a great stimulating effect on the box office.

Combining various reasons, Xu Nan chose the seemingly ordinary schedule of June [-]rd.

And as Liu Yang contacted the theaters, the news that Xu Nanxin's movie was scheduled to be released on June [-], and it would be a head-to-head confrontation with the Hollywood blockbuster "The Eternal Race", also spread quickly.

The insiders were dumbfounded.
