Chapter 42 Brother, don’t leave in a hurry
"The bean sprouts are divided. "Taoist Descending the Mountain" actually lost to "Taoist Bianshan". Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?"
"Director Chen became angry and bluntly said that the navy was behind the scenes. Netizens angrily criticized "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" as a bad movie."
"The box office of Summit Films' new movie has exceeded 10 million. Does this mean that the era of bad movies is coming?"
"Whether it's illegal to watch porn movies or not, let's interview Mr. Bai, a famous expert and professor."
"Open with caution: After two self-inflicted incidents, star Mimi has lost her face and has shady connections with famous film critics."
Looking at the overwhelming press releases about "Taoist Bian Shan" on the Internet, Xu Nan felt very happy.
The box office of the movie "Taoist Bian Shan" has exceeded 10 million, and it is not far away from 20 million.
But the cost of this movie is only 200,000 yuan. Even if you include some miscellaneous costs, the total cost does not exceed 300,000 yuan.
Making money again.
This is the benefit of choosing the right business model.
If you choose to shoot those exciting blockbusters, it will often take several months, or even a year and a half.
It takes such a long time to make money.
It's much easier to choose to make a bad movie, just pick a famous one and make a similar one in less than ten days.
Then I played it inside the cinema, and the next thing I had to do was lie down and count the money.
It doesn't matter even if it loses money. A movie worth over 200,000 yuan won't lose much.
I am indeed a genius for being able to come up with this business model.
"Director Xu, another hit movie. You are really a genius. You must have made a lot of money this time."
"It is highly recommended to film "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" by actor Liu, which also stars Lin Zhiling."
"There is also "Dawu Tiandi Code", starring Mimi, who helped you recommend the movie."
"Also, Xu Ke's "Di Renjie" is currently being filmed. Hurry up and make a similar film. I want to see what you can make."
"Strongly protest, why is the name of the movie called "Taoist Bianshan" and not "Taoist Comes Down the Mountain"? "Taoist Bianshan" is very different from "Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" in the cinema. It is easy to tell them apart. It is called "Taoist Comes Down the Mountain". "Tu Xia Shan" can't be distinguished clearly."
Xu Nan is surfing the Internet and interacting with his fans.
Thanks to his uniqueness, many netizens are interested in him, and his number of fans has exceeded one million. In the director industry, he is one of the people with the largest number of fans.
These fans are the source of food, clothing and box office for Xu Nan, so his attitude has always been very polite.
It's not like some directors who obviously rely on the audience to make a living, but they also have a condescending tone and teach the audience how to watch movies.
No, we don’t know whether a movie is good or not, so we need you to teach us?
Seeing the comments about why the movie was not called "The Way Down the Mountain", Xu Nan slapped her thigh in regret.
That's right, why not call it "Taotu Descends the Mountain".
If it were given this name, it would at least add a million in box office.
Too sloppy.
You must be careful when picking up your name next time, and you will never make this mistake.
“ @Xu Nan, look at Chen Pengfei’s Weibo, he is scolding you.”
Suddenly a fan reminded Xu Nan.
He clicked on Chen Pengfei's latest Weibo.
“ @Xu Nan, you don’t need to try to buy trolls to continue to hack my movies. The public’s eyes are sharp and they know whether my movies are good or not, and they will never be deceived by you.
And those trolls who say my movies are not good-looking, don’t try to knock my movies down, there is no way my movies are not good-looking. "
The tone of Chen Pengfei's Weibo was almost hysterical.
Xu Nan didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" has been released for three days, and its reputation has plummeted. Netizens who have seen it generally give negative reviews, and even the box office has plummeted.
This movie is definitely going to lose money. Everyone knows that this movie is not good.
Chen Pengfei still looked like everyone was drunk and I was alone, immersed in his own world and unable to get out.
It has nothing to do with him.
As for buying navy troops, that is even more nonsense.
How could he spend money on a navy army? That would not increase the cost of the movie.
The eyes of the masses are sharp, and it is useless no matter how hard Chen Pengfei talks.
"Mr. Xu, we're here." Liu Yang, who was sitting next to him, suddenly reminded him.
Xu Nan looked up and found a tall and majestic building in front of him, with four big characters hanging on the top of the building.
Shenhua Group!
Looking at this outstanding building and the elite men and women coming and going at the door, Xu Nan was a little envious.
I don’t know how many years I have struggled to afford such a building.
Forget it, keep your goal small, just buy one floor.
After sighing for a while, the two of them walked into Shenhua Building. After talking to the front desk, they went straight to the advertising department.
Xu Nan had already made an appointment online before coming, so the manager of the advertising department had already been waiting for him in the reception room.
"Hello, hello, Mr. Xu, my surname is Wu, I am the manager of the advertising department, and I am responsible for advertising."
"Hello, I am Xu Nan, CEO of Summit Films."
After a brief greeting, the two sat on the sofa.
Xu Nan didn't do any ink and said straight to the point: "It's like this. I am planning to shoot a movie recently and invest 50 million. I want to find someone to place advertisements in our movie."
"Oh, that's right." Manager Wu's expression was calm: "But our company has requirements for advertising and sponsorship. Not just anyone can get it?"
Xu Nan smiled: "I know Shenhua Group's requirements are very high, but my first movie "Along the River on a Qingming Festival" only cost 200,000 yuan and created a box office miracle of more than 130 million yuan. .”
"Our company's second film "Taoist Bian Shan" also crushed Chen Pengfei's "Taoist Descending the Mountain" in terms of reputation."
"Such a record, I believe your company should be able to place advertisements."
Manager Wu's expression remained calm, and he nodded: "It sounds pretty good. I've heard the names of these two movies."
"Let's do this. You put the information down and I'll go back and have a meeting with my superior to study it."
"When things come to an end, I'll call you to let you know."
Xu Nan nodded: "I understand."
"In that case, let me tell you straight, our movie stars Lin Hongxiu."
Manager Wu showed a proud but polite smile: "No matter which star is starring, even if it is the best actor, we still want it."
"Wait a minute. Who are you talking about starring in?"
Xu Nan smiled: "Lin Hongxiu, the most precious daughter of your chairman Lin Zhiyao."
"If my movie doesn't get advertising from you, I will tell Lin Hongxiu when I get back that the Shenhua Group's advertising department doesn't like her movie."
"Then, I will ask Lin Hongxiu to tell her father, your chairman Lin Zhiyao, to let him know about this matter."
"Ahem." Manager Wu coughed, his expression becoming more serious.
"You wait here for a while, I'll go report to my superiors."
"Brother, don't leave in a hurry."
