This director only makes bad movies

"I'm fine," Schneider replied.

The voice on the phone was much more relaxed: "That's good."

Schneider said solemnly: "But the matter can't be settled like this. This is obviously the work of that damn Chinese director. He wants to create misinformation to promote "Three Thousand Spartans" just like he did when he promoted "Atlantic Rim" last time."

"He has stolen millions from us. He is a shameless thief and we cannot continue to tolerate this guy."

Paramount's vice president replied: "It's not what you think. I just got information from the police. The person who asked you the question is an Internet blogger. He just wants to gain some popularity and increase his fans."

"My friend, don't be so imaginative, it was just an accident."

"Accident?" Schneider sneered: "Do you believe this statement?"

"Even if it was an accident, are we just going to watch that damn Chinese thief steal the box office that belongs to us?"

"This is a movie produced by Paramount. It has been established for more than 70 years. It is one of the top five film and television giants in Hollywood. Are they not doing anything?"

The vice president of Paramount sounded a little embarrassed: "The other party is backed by Imperial Cinemas, and it has not broken any laws."

Schneider was so angry that he laughed.

Paramount, one of the five major Hollywood giants, is so cowardly?

"Ahem." Paramount's vice president quickly changed the subject: "Actually, I'm calling you for one more thing. Currently, the popularity of our movies on the Internet has begun to decline, and the audience has begun to lose patience. They need new stimulation. Let the popularity of the movie continue.”

"I have an idea, you can learn from Xu Nan, be a little more relaxed when promoting the movie, and find ways to keep the popularity of the movie going, so that the box office will be higher."

"How do you want me to let go, being so shameless like him?" Schneider said with a hint of anger.

"There's no need to be so extreme, this is what I think." Paramount's vice president explained his plan.

First of all, the incident of Schneider being questioned by an online blogger was spread on the Internet and bought hot searches to make it popular, saying that this was Xu Nan's conspiracy.

Then, Schneider stood up and refuted Xu Nan, saying that this behavior was unethical.

It's a very simple routine, but it has a certain stimulating effect on the movie box office.

The audience is a little tired of the movie's promotion, but they should be a little interested in the gossip and quarrels.

Hollywood often plays this trick. When many stars have no works, they even rely solely on fighting to maintain their popularity and status.

And this can also cause Xu Nan a little trouble.

Although this will also increase the box office of "3000", it can't be helped. There is no good thing in this world that just takes advantage without paying for it.

Schneider thought for a while and agreed to the plan of Paramount Vice President.

Although I can't cause any harm to the shameless Chinese director, I can at least vent my anger.

Soon, the call ended and Paramount’s vice president began to prepare.

Buy hot searches, contact relevant media, build momentum, and arrange a series of packages.

Film and television companies are familiar with this kind of hype, and Schneider is no stranger to it either.

During his break, he picked up his mobile phone and surfed the Internet to pass the time.

Suddenly, he came across a video tweet sent by the famous film critic Francis.

The video is called: "He is the light of my life."

The person on the cover of the video is also very familiar to Schneider. He is the Chinese director who made him grit his teeth.

what's the situation?

While his mind was still thinking, Schneider's fingers couldn't help but click on the video.

The beginning of the video shows Francis' big face, sitting on the sofa with a serious look on his face and speaking to the camera.

"Guys, I just received a call from Chinese director Xu Nan. He invited me to the theater to watch his movie "3000" and said that I saw the wrong movie."

"I'm a film critic, so I can't watch the wrong movie, but considering that Xu Nan is my favorite director, I decided to go to the cinema to watch it."

"gone."

In the video, Francis reaches out and picks up the camera. The camera goes black, followed by a fast-forward view.

Soon, Francis came to the entrance of the theater and met Chinese director Xu Nan.

Francis immediately trotted up and asked with an angry look on his face: "Why did you make "The 300" so beautiful?"

"You know how long I have been looking forward to your new movie. I thought I would see a different movie, but what I ended up watching was a vulgar historical film."

"Perhaps this kind of movie will be interesting to stupid ordinary people, but it doesn't show your talent at all."

"Copycat movies are the ultimate in movies, and they are the movies that are most suitable for you."

Hearing this sentence, Schneider felt a little suffocated.

The movie I worked so hard to make has been generally well received by the public and has an excellent reputation. But in your mouth, it turned out to be a vulgar historical film?

The progress of the video continues. In the video, Xu Nan shows a bright and sunny smile, which makes people instinctively feel good about her.

"Hello, film critic Francis, you saw the wrong movie. The name of the movie I made is called "300", not 300."

Francis immediately replied: "I just made a slip of the tongue. Why did you make the movie "The Three Thousand Warriors" so good? You should put the talents God has given you on a copycat film, similar to "The Age of the Hobbit"." ”, the film Atlantic Rim.”

"A group of directors have already made good-looking movies in the normal sense, but only you can make copycat movies."

In the video, Xu Nan still kept smiling: ""3000" is the kind of movie you mentioned. You saw the wrong movie last time."

"Impossible." Francis vowed: "I am a film critic, and an experienced film critic. It is impossible for me to watch the wrong movie."

"Director Xu Nan, your words are questioning my professionalism."

Xu Nan continued to smile: "I know you don't believe it so easily, so I specially invited you to the cinema."

"I have already bought the tickets for you. You can go in and watch the movie now to see if you saw the wrong movie."

With that said, Xu Nan handed the movie ticket to Francis.

Francis still looked determined: "I can watch the movie, but you have to watch it with me."

"And I watched the movie not because I saw it wrong before, but to convince you that copycat movies are where you belong."

"No problem." Xu Nan nodded.

In the video, Francis moves the camera so that his face takes up more than half of the screen, facing the camera.

He smiled and said confidently: "Director Xu Nan actually said that I saw the wrong movie. Is it possible?"

"I'm a film critic. Even if he, the director, admits that the movie is wrong, I can't watch the wrong movie."

"Right away, I will make this guy Xu Nan realize his mistake."
