In the venue set up by George, Xu Nan began to explain the main points to the actors.

"Butler, our movie is a copycat porcelain movie, you should be able to tell from the name, this is a movie dedicated to porcelain "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta"."

Butler, who plays the main character, Leonidas, nods respectfully.

Xu Nan is also a famous director now, and everyone knows what kind of tone his movies are.

But for Butler, an amateur who has only played a role, this time playing the leading role is still a rare opportunity, and he must seize it and not let Xu Nan, the man who dominates his fate, be angry.

Xu Nan continued: "According to the information circulating on the Internet, "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" should be an orthodox, hot-blooded, epic or historical movie, our movie is different from "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", it belongs to the category of funny contrasts, you should have watched "The Hobbit Era" and "Atlantic Rim". ”

Butler nodded quickly, since he was going to act in Xu Nan's movie, how could he not go to see Xu Nan's previous works.

Not only "The Hobbit Era" and "Atlantic Rim", but even "Captain China", "Spider-Man", and "Sunny Riverside" He has seen it more than once.

How do you think this protagonist came about?

Not to mention, he wasn't very interested in this kind of movie at first, but when he watched it, he felt a little emotional.

"The Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta is also in a similar style, when you perform, you have to be relaxed, casual, and you don't need to be so serious."

"Okay." Butler nodded.

After making sure Butler understood, Xu Nan looked at Eliza, a contracted actor of Nanhai Film and Television, who played the queen of King Leonidas of Sparta in the movie, a woman.

""The Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta is dominated by men, you are not the protagonist, but the role is equally important, so I want you to put all your energy, do you understand what I mean?"

Eliza was the protagonist in the last movie, but this movie only became a supporting role, and he was worried that Eliza would not be able to think about it and cause her state to be abnormal, so he specially reminded him.

The blonde, choppy, and choppy Eliza nodded: "I will play to my best." ”

In fact, Xu Nan thought too much, and signing a contract with Nanhai Film and Television was tantamount to binding Xingtu and the company together, if Xu Nan was angry and hidden, Eliza couldn't bear the consequences at all.

So this shoot, Eliza will definitely do her best.

Besides, Nanhai Film and Television will definitely continue to shoot copycat porcelain pieces in the future, and she is not worried that she will lack opportunities at all.

After making sure that Eliza's side was okay, Xu Nan looked at George again.

"George, it looks easy to shoot when you touch porcelain, but in fact, there are a lot of tricks in it, and if you think that you can succeed just by touching porcelain, you are very wrong, and the end result will only be failure."

Xu Nan began to explain in detail to George the key points of filming copycat porcelain movies.

This is the trick he has summed up in shooting one movie after another

On the surface, it is easy to shoot a copycat porcelain, and you only need to shoot a shoddy one according to the genuine movie, but in fact, there are many ways to do it.

The easier it seems, the harder it is.

When the field of copycat porcelain is blank, you don't even need to shoot seriously, as long as you take a similar name and play a routine of touching porcelain, you can be a big success.

But when the audience is familiar with this routine, it is necessary to constantly seek new and change, so that the audience can feel a little freshness in the old routine, so as to continue to succeed.

Take Korean dramas as an example, at the beginning, car accidents, amnesia, cancer, as soon as the three-piece set came out, the audience cried and worried about the fate of the characters in the TV series.

But now you come to a car accident, amnesia, cancer three-piece set, the audience will only feel old-fashioned and speechless, and they won't even watch it, and just change the channel.

The first time you watch a similar movie, the audience's requirements are very low, but the second and third time, the copycat porcelain movie must also have a certain amount of progress and changes in order to satisfy them.

The audience is ruthless and demanding, and will give up at the slightest dissatisfaction.

George nodded again and again, this is a personal teaching by a recognized ghost director, and he must listen carefully.

He knew why Xu Nan would tell him this, because Xu Nan said that he would be in charge of the next movie.

After the explanation was almost over, Xu Nan began the official shooting.

The plot of "The Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta" is almost the same as the original version, which is the story of the battle between the Spartans and the Persian army, but the details are completely different.

First of all, this movie can't have the magnificent, brilliant and bloody battle scenes in the genuine movie, it's too expensive, and Xu Nan can't shoot it.

Similarly, this film is unlikely to capture the epic sense and heaviness of history of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".

So I can only go in the direction of nonsense and funny, which is also the best way to shoot copycat porcelain pieces, and I can't let the audience enjoy a visual and emotional feast, and it's okay to make them laugh.

With the joint efforts of the crew, it took only six days for Xu Nan to complete the shooting, one day faster than scheduled.

After the filming ended, Xu Nan held a finale banquet and invited the whole crew to dinner.

Then, it is to contact the theater chain and determine the time to play the movie.

filmed two porcelain copycat movies in a row, this market has been opened by him, and the relationship with the theater chain is also relatively familiar, and the process of contacting the theater chain is very smooth.

There is no impermeable wall in the entertainment industry, and the news that "Three Thousand Spartan Warriors" and "Three Hundred Spartan Warriors" were released at the same time quickly reached the ears of director Schneider.

After learning the news, Schneider was in a bad mood.

"Can you reschedule this movie?" Schneider asked Paramount's vice president.

Paramount is one of the top film and television companies in the United States, "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" is Paramount's largest investment in this year's film, which can be said to be inmissible, Schneider is also the first time to direct a big production of this level, he doesn't want to be a little surprised.

The vice president of Paramount shook his head: "Impossible, we don't have the right to change the release date of other movies." ”

"But this movie is specially here to touch us, and the names are so similar, it will definitely steal a lot of box office." Schneider said with anger in his breath.

The vice president of Paramount smiled bitterly: "Yes, I know, everyone in the country knows about it, but we really can't help it." ”

"Schneider, copycat porcelain movies have become a trend, in fact, there are people within the company who plan to shoot porcelain copycat movies, you can't stop it, no one can stop it."

He patted Schneider on the shoulder and tried to comfort: "Relax, a copycat porcelain piece won't affect anything, you just need to do a good job of publicity." ”

Schneider frowned.
