This director only makes bad movies

"Mr. Schneider, how do you distinguish between the two movies "300" and "300"?"

When asked by reporters, Schneider smiled on the surface, but was very angry in his heart.

"300" is about to be released. As a director, he has been promoting the movie these days, building momentum, trying to increase the popularity of the movie and let more people know about it.

But because the names of "300" and "300" were too similar, a large part of his efforts were diverted to "300".

He worked hard to promote the movie, and Xu Nan could just sit back and enjoy the results without doing anything.

Take the reporter's question as an example. Because this matter is very popular on the Internet, he has been asked several times when promoting the movie these days.

Every time, a reporter would ask him this question maliciously, admiring the expression on his face, expecting him to lose his composure and provide news material.

But Schneider is already in his forties this year and has a deep palace. Even though his heart is full of twists and turns, he still smiles on the surface.

"Don't forget, I am the director of "The 300". How could I not be able to tell the difference between the two movies? It is very simple for the audience to tell the difference. The one with fewer people is the genuine one. I hope the movie is released. After that, everyone will support my movies."

Schneider's answer was very appropriate, but the reporter was not satisfied, and soon another reporter asked questions.

"What do you think about two movies being released on the same day? Do you think this is a conspiracy by Chinese director Xu? What do you think this person thinks?"

Reporters actually wanted to interview Xu Nan, but Xu Nan didn't need to appear in public to promote the movie. Even if they wanted to interview, they couldn't find anyone, so they could only devote all their energy to Schneider, who was in public.

Faced with the reporter's difficulties, Schneider responded tactfully and did not let the reporter catch any evidence. In the end, the promotional event was over and he and the crew returned to the hotel.

At this point, they could finally relax, and Schneider could finally stop pretending and said angrily: "Damn Chinese director, you've given me so much trouble."

The leading actor in the movie immediately comforted him: "Director, think on the bright side. This Chinese director has also brought us some popularity and provided promotional materials."

"Hmph, I don't need it at all." Schneider curled his lips disdainfully.

Do big-budget movies still lack publicity funds and popularity?

It didn't matter whether he had this movie or not. Without the movie they were promoting, he felt better.

In order to curb this phenomenon, Schneider also made a special call to Paramount's vice president in charge of the film.

"Mr. President, I don't think this can continue. We worked hard to promote it, but in the end the results were enjoyed by that damn Chinese director and Pengci Film. I think we should take effective measures."

The vice president of Paramount sounded very cold: "Schneider, it's enough for you to promote the movie, and you don't need to take care of the rest."

"Okay." Schneider could only hang up the phone helplessly.

He is just an ordinary director, not a famous director, and he is not qualified to bargain with the behemoth Paramount.

Even his status on the crew is not as high as that of the producer.

To put it bluntly, Snyder is just a tool of capital, and he can only obey Paramount's command.

In the next few days, Schneider continued to promote the film step by step. Although he knew that part of his achievements would be stolen by Xu Nan, he could only endure it.

Paramount even suggested that he use Xu Nan and "3000", a copycat movie, as a topic to promote the movie, but Schneider tolerated it and did it obediently.

There is no way, who said he is not qualified enough to do whatever he wants like world-class directors like Cameron and Robert.

So Paramount asked him to use the copycat movie as a topic to promote the movie, and he still did it, but in his heart, Schneider made a lot of mistakes.

Now he is just an ordinary director, he can only endure it, and when the movie becomes popular, he can say what he wants to say.

Soon, it was time for the movie to be released.

Paramount attaches great importance to the movie "300" and held a luxurious premiere and invited a large number of insiders.

Even Xu Nan received the invitation.

Faced with Paramount's invitation, Xu Nan went decisively.

What a great opportunity for publicity, it will be in vain if you don’t use it.

At the premiere, when reporters and insiders saw Xu Nan, a Chinese director, their expressions were very subtle.

How dare this shameless guy come to the premiere?

Isn't he afraid of being beaten to death?

certainly.

It's impossible for someone to beat him to death. Although Xu Nan has a bad reputation in the industry, no one is going to beat him to death.

At most, when you see him, you roll your eyes and ignore him.

It is difficult for a Chinese to integrate into the film industry in the United States, let alone if he is making a low-profile movie like a copycat.

These insiders had a tacit agreement to treat Xu Nan coldly, neither warmly nor coldly, but politely and coldly.

However, when the reporters saw Xu Nan, their eyes lit up one by one, and they surrounded him like sharks that smelled blood.

This is a natural topic maker, and any sentence can be used as a press release.

"Director Xu Nan, may I ask why you came to the premiere of "300 Spartans"?"

"Are you here to provoke me?"

"Why is the title of your movie so similar to "The 300"? Did you do it on purpose?"

Facing the crowd of reporters, Xu Nan smiled.

He's experienced and doesn't panic at all.

"Why should I attend the premiere of "Three Thousand Spartans"?" Xu Nan deliberately made an exaggerated expression: "This is the premiere of my movie, how can I, the main protagonist, not come? "

"Hahaha" the reporters all laughed.

They heard that Xu Nan was making a joke, saying that the two movies were so similar that netizens couldn't tell them apart.

"Director Hua Xia, today is the premiere of your movie. Why aren't you worried about your movie?"

"Director Xu, why did you set the release date of the movie to be today?"

"What was your purpose in attending the premiere of '300'?"

The reporters threw a lot of questions, one after another, like a bombardment, without giving anyone a chance to breathe.

Xu Nan quickly responded: "Don't worry, come one by one, I will answer all your questions?"

While Xu Nan was dealing with reporters here, director Schneider, who was the host, also learned the news.

Immediately, three question marks appeared above his head.

"What is this shameless Chinese director doing here?"
