Chapter 295 What He Makes Is Not a Bad Movie

The press conference continues.

A reporter asked: "Director Xu, apart from the above reasons, is there any other reason that proves this movie is not a bad movie?"

Xu Nan said seriously: "Another reason is that the cost of my movie is only 250,000 US dollars, but the current box office has reached 6 million US dollars, and the box office is 24 times the production cost."

"Let me ask you, how many movies in the United States can achieve this return ratio? If you say such a profitable movie is a bad movie, it's possible, but it's obviously impossible."

Not many reporters showed contempt this time, making money is indeed very convincing.

Even if everyone agrees that something is good, as long as it cannot make money, it is destined to be unsustainable.

But if something is very, very bad, as long as it can make money, it will continue to make money.

A movie that can make money and has a very high return rate is indeed very convincing.

"Director Xu, what do you think the final box office of the movie "Atlantic Rim" will be?"

"Director Xu, what are your next film plans?"

"Director Hua Xia, how much box office do you think the movie "Pacific Rim" can achieve?"

At the press conference, reporters asked questions one after another, and Xu Nan answered them one by one.

The entire press conference lasted about an hour. Xu Nan explained clearly the difference between the movies "Atlantic Rim" and "Pacific Rim", and solemnly stated that the "classic movie" was shot by himself, so that everyone should not make a mistake.

After the press conference, Benjamin took a deep breath.

"Inform Warner and ask their legal department to sue this Chinese director for plagiarism."

The assistant hesitated and said, "Even if we sue, the chance of winning is very small."

Benjamin nodded: "I know, but no matter what, we can't let this guy continue to be arrogant. Even if we can't win the case, it's good to cause him some trouble."

Only then did the assistant understand what Benjamin meant. Although he felt it was not necessary, he still obeyed: "Okay, I will go and communicate with Warner."

After the assistant left, Benjamin couldn't help but sigh.

Originally, when he first saw Xu Nan talking nonsense at the press conference, he was very angry, but after watching it, he was not angry anymore, and he was left speechless.

This kind of person is simply shameless, and shameless to the extreme.

People are shameless and invincible. He really has no other way to deal with such a shameless person. He can only use the method of prosecution to disgust the other person.

After the press conference, Xu Nan quickly became a trending topic on Twitter and made headlines in American entertainment news.

Today is the day when "Pacific Rim" is released. In theory, the protagonist of this movie should be, but Xu Nan relied on his cool skills to successfully focus the attention of netizens on him.

Xu Nan's various tricks are like fireflies in the dark night, bright and outstanding, even if you don't want to pay attention to him, you can't.

After the press conference, a large number of media published news.

"The Chinese director solemnly declares that "Atlantic Rim" was shot by himself. Netizens please stop making fun of it."

"Director Xu warned Benjamin not to try to take credit for filming the movie "Atlantic Rim."

"Why did Benjamin make the movie "Atlantic Rim" so badly? There is a hidden reason behind the rapid spread of this meme."

In addition to the news, the comments from netizens are also very interesting.

"Obviously "Atlantic" is a bad movie, but why did I become interested in this movie and wanted to go to the cinema to watch it."

"Guys upstairs, I'm in a worse situation than you. I've already watched this movie once, and I endured unparalleled torture while watching it. But after watching the press conference, I actually suspected that I had watched the wrong movie."

"He is really suitable to be a politician. This shameless look is not much worse than that of a politician."

"Oh my god, how can there be such a person in this world? He obviously made a bad movie, but he still openly claims that he made a classic movie."

"What's even more frightening is that he still doesn't admit his mistake and always thinks he is right."

"No, the scariest thing is that he has made money, which means there will be a steady stream of bad movies made by him in the future."

"Actually, this kind of movie is still very interesting. Why do we have to be so extreme in our views and only accept good movies in the conventional sense."

"Yes, Atlantic Rim is not a bad movie, it's just a unique movie. It's actually a lot of fun."

"I went to see this movie with my roommate. It was actually very interesting."

"I admit that this movie is bad, but it's bad in a different way. It's a very special kind of movie. Anyway, I like this style of movie."

Contrary to Xu Nan's expectation, his reputation on the Internet has gradually improved, and his Twitter followers have gradually increased.

Originally, American netizens and the media usually called him a shameless director or a bad film director, but now he is called a Chinese director and a genius director.

Some people even openly spoke for him and wrote an article, thinking that Xu Nan's movies have a unique style and are indeed not bad movies.

This person's name is Francis, and he is a very famous film critic in the United States.

His fame is completely different from that of Martin. Martin became famous through crooked ways, but Francis has been deeply involved in the field of film critics for many years and became famous by writing excellent film reviews one after another.

Such a film critic has great influence by publishing an article to help Xu Nan speak out.

[The Age of the Hobbit and Atlantic Rim are not bad movies. 】

"Recently, there is a Chinese director named Xu Nan who is very popular and famous. Some people call him a genius director. They think the movies he makes are very good, at least in terms of profitability. Some people think that the movies he makes are all downright terrible. Bad films have no value and should be destroyed when produced to avoid polluting people's eyes."

"As a film critic, I also watched two movies. The first time I watched them, I found it difficult to accept them, but when I watched them the second and third time, I still found the advantages of these two movies. "

"Of course these two movies cannot be called good movies in the traditional sense, but equally, these two movies cannot be called bad movies."

"Whether it's "The Age of the Hobbit" or "Atlantic", there are obvious traces of shoddy workmanship, and there are even a lot of cut-in shots. Generally, when directors make movies, they often strive for excellence and can work hard for a long time for the beauty of one shot. , but this is not the case in these two movies. Whether it is the lenses, props, or actors, they are all extremely difficult to cope with, or even completely unqualified."

"But it is precisely because of the shoddy and unqualified production of the two films, coupled with the fast pace and orthodox film narrative of the film itself, that it has formed an extremely unique film style. Audiences who cannot accept this film style will feel that watching this Movies are a kind of torture, but audiences who can accept this style of movie will find the movie full of nonsensical and strong comedic humor effects."

"It is undeniable that neither "The Age of the Hobbit" nor "Atlantic" can be called a wonderful movie or a good movie in traditional public perception, but these two movies can definitely not be called A bad movie, at least in the eyes of an audience that can accept this style of film, it’s not a bad movie.”

"Director Xu Nan from China once said that this is a copycat movie. I personally prefer to call this kind of movie a crude movie."

"But whether it's a copycat movie or a crude movie, as long as this kind of movie can continue to maintain the current high-profit model, there will be a steady stream of output. In this type of movie, there is no doubt that this Chinese director is the originator. He is the founder of this genre, and I believe there will be no shortage of imitators in the future.”

"Finally, let me talk about my personal feelings. I have watched both movies several times. I felt tortured at first, but after watching them, I felt inexplicably happy. So, I don't think these two movies are bad movies. Maybe some people and I have a different view, but I still stand by it."
