"Mr. Schneider, how did you distinguish between the two movies "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" and "The Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta"?"

In the face of reporters' inquiries, Schneider smiled on the surface, but was very angry in his heart.

"The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is about to be released, and as a director, he has been promoting this movie for the past few days, building momentum, and striving to increase the popularity of the movie and let more people know about this movie.

But because the names of "Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta" and "Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta" are too similar, a large part of his efforts have been diverted away by "Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta".

He worked hard to promote the movie, and Xu Nan didn't have to do anything, he could sit back and enjoy it.

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

Every time, a reporter would ask him this question with bad intentions, appreciate the expression on his face, and expect him to provide news material for his gaffe.

But Schneider is in his forties this year, and the city government is very deep, even if his heart is tortuous, he still shows a smile on the surface.

"Don't forget, I'm the director of The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta, so how could I not tell the difference between the two films. It's very simple for the audience to distinguish clearly, and if there are few people, it is genuine, and I hope that after the movie is released, everyone will support my movie more. ”

Schneider answered very appropriately, but the reporter was very dissatisfied, and soon another reporter asked questions.

"What do you think of the release of the two movies on the same day, do you think this is a conspiracy of Huaxia director Xu, what do you think this person thinks?"

The reporter actually wanted to interview Xu Nan, but Xu Nan didn't need to show up to promote the movie, even if they wanted to interview, they couldn't find anyone, so they could only pour all their energy into Schneider, who showed up.

In the face of the reporter's difficulty, Schneider's answer was very tactful, and he didn't let the reporter catch any tricks, and finally, the publicity campaign ended, and he and the crew returned to the hotel.

At this point, they could finally relax, and Schneider finally didn't need to pretend, and said indignantly: "Damn Huaxia director, you have caused me so much trouble." ”

The actor of the movie immediately comforted: "Director, think about it in a good place, this Chinese director has also brought us some heat and provided promotional materials." ”

"Hmph, I don't need it at all." Schneider pouted disdainfully.

Big-budget movies still lack publicity funds and popularity?

It's the same with or without this movie, without the movies they promote, he feels a little more comfortable.

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

"Mr. President, I don't think it will work like this, we tried our best to publicize, but in the end the results were enjoyed by that damn Chinese director and the porcelain movie, I think we should make strong measures."

Paramount's vice president said in a cold tone: "Schneider, it's enough for you to do a good job in promoting the movie, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”

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

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

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

To put it bluntly, Schneider 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, and although he knew that some of his achievements would be stolen by Xu Nan, he could only endure it.

Even Paramount suggested that he use Xu Nan and the copycat movie "Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta" as a topic to promote the movie, and Schneider put up with it and obediently did so.

There's no way, who calls him not qualified enough, and he is not qualified to do whatever he wants like a world-class director like Cameron and Robert.

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

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 took the movie "Three Hundred Spartans" very seriously, and held a lavish premiere that invited a large number of insiders.

Even Xu Nan received an invitation.

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

What a good opportunity to rub publicity, don't go in vain.

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

This shameless guy actually dared to come to the premiere?

Isn't he afraid of being beaten to death?

Of course.

It is impossible to be beaten to death, although Xu Nan has a very bad reputation in the circle, but no one wants to kill him.

At most, when I saw him, I rolled my eyes a few times and ignored him.

It is difficult for a Chinese person to integrate into the circle in the United States, let alone make a movie that is not on the stage such as copycat porcelain tiles.

These insiders tacitly treated Xu Nan coldly, neither enthusiastic nor cold, polite and indifferent.

However, when the reporter saw Xu Nan, his eyes lit up one by one, and he surrounded him like a shark that smelled blood.

It's a natural topic maker, and any sentence can be used as a press release.

"Director Xu Nan, why did you come to the premiere of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta"?"

"Are you here to provoke?"

"Why is the name of your movie so similar to "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", did you do it on purpose?"

Facing the encirclement of reporters, Xu Nan smiled.

He is experienced and does not panic at all.

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

"Hahaha," the reporters laughed.

They heard that Xu Nan was playing a stalk, talking about the two movies that were very similar, and netizens couldn't tell the stalk at all.

"Director Huaxia, today is the day of the premiere of your movie, why don't you worry about your movie?"

"Director Xu, why did you set the release date of the movie today."

"What was your purpose for the premiere of The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta?"

The reporters threw out a whole bunch of questions, one after the other, like bombing, without giving people a chance to breathe.

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

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

Immediately, three question marks popped up above his head.

"What is this shameless Huaxia director doing here?"
