Knowing that Xu Nan was coming, Schneider felt very puzzled.

It was Paramount who sent the invitation, and he didn't know it, so he was very wary of Xu Nan's arrival.

This damn Chinese director, shouldn't he want to do something at the premiere?

With doubts and worries, Schneider rushed to Xu Nan's side.

As the host, he really wanted to entertain Xu Nan.

"Director Schneider, look here."

"Director Schneider, what do you think of the film's results?"

"Are you worried that the audience will watch the wrong movie?"

"How is your relationship with Director Xu Nan?"

A group of reporters were even more excited to see Schneider coming, this is ready-made material.

Schneider ignored these reporters, and squeezed directly to Xu Nan's side, barely squeezing out a smile.

"Welcome, Director Xu."

"Director Schneider." Xu Nan's eyes lit up immediately, as if he saw an idol: "I like your works very much, especially your "Dawn of the Living Dead", I have watched it several times, and the plot in it is really amazing." ”

Schneider was stunned.

He didn't expect this to be the result.

He thought that Xu Nan was here to do something, but he didn't expect to praise his movie as soon as he came up, his eyes were so sincere, and his expression was so sincere.

Looks like a good person.

"Dawn of the Living Dead" was his first film, which was a small box office hit and had a good reputation.

Before filming "Dawn of the Living Dead", he was just an ordinary advertising film director, mediocre, and it was precisely by relying on this film with a good reputation and a small box office explosion that he officially stepped into the door of film directors and was qualified to direct the big production of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".

The movie "Dawn of the Living Dead" has extraordinary significance to him, and this Chinese director has watched it several times?

No, calm down.

This guy must have a conspiracy.

Schneider, who had been through the storm for a long time, remembered Xu Nan's bad past, and quickly calmed down and returned to indifference.

"Thank you for your appreciation of my movie, in fact, I have also seen your movie, and there are still advantages."

Xu Nan smiled: "No, my movie is very good." ”

Schneider's expression stiffened, are you sure your movie is good?

Fortunately, the reporter next to him interrupted the not-so-good atmosphere.

"Is the relationship between the two directors so good?"

"So you've been in touch for a long time, have you?"

"What is the real relationship between you?"

Faced with reporters' questions, Schneider regained his composure: "We didn't know each other before, but I heard that director Xu Nan came to attend the premiere, and I came to welcome him." ”

"Director Schneider, the names of the two movies are so similar, do you worry that the audience will watch the wrong movie, and will you worry about an oolong incident like film critic Martin?"

Schneider shook his head: "I believe that the audience is intelligent and will not be wrong to watch the movie, especially if you know that the movie has a similar name." ”

"Director Xu Nan, did you choose a similar name to deliberately mislead the audience and want to steal the box office that belonged to "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta"." A reporter asked maliciously.

Schneider was in good spirits, and the question was so good.

In the past, he found the difficulties of reporters annoying, but now he finds them very pleasant.

I see how you answer?

Xu Nan smiled: "Here I solemnly declare that the movies I make are all good-looking and classic, and there is no need to steal the box office of other movies." ”

"The reason why I chose the name "Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta" is to give Schneider a chance to rub my name so that his grades are not too bad."

"Alas, as a senior, I always take care of newcomers so enthusiastically, what a good person."

There was a moment of silence.

"Poof." A guest eavesdropping next to him couldn't help but laugh.

This kind of shameless words can actually be said, which is really worthy of being a shameless Chinese director.

The reporters' expressions are also subtle, but although this answer is not the best, it is also what they want, strong enough, enough to attract attention.

Schneider sneered, but didn't say much.

This answer was too outrageous, and it seemed that he was petty.

In a word, if you are serious, you will lose.

Next, the reporter asked a lot of difficult questions, and Xu Nan and Schneider answered very skillfully, so that the reporter did not catch the flaw.

But some news material is certainly unavoidable.

After dealing with the reporters, Schneider said to Xu Nan neatly: "I'm sorry Director Xu Nan, today is the premiere of the movie, I'm busy, let's go first." ”

With that, Schneider hurried away, he was going to welcome the real heavyweights.

When he came to see Xu Nan before, he was mainly worried that Xu Nan would do something, so he came to explore the direction of the wind.

But now that he has figured it out, this is a big production produced by Paramount, what can Xu Nan, a Chinese director, do?

At most, it's just to rub off on the heat, and it won't affect anything.

Do you really think that the audience is a fool and will think that this is the premiere of "The Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta"?

Playing stalks is playing stalks, what is the real situation, the audience is clear in their hearts, it is impossible to really be so stupid to admit the wrong movie.

Soon, the movie officially began to be screened, and Xu Nan, as a guest, watched the movie for free.

"The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is based on a real example, taken from the famous battle of the Spartan Commonwealth and Persia in history, the Battle of Thermopay.

At the beginning of the movie, the plot is used to tell about the martial arts tradition of the Spartan Federation.

The children here will be examined by a special person as soon as they are born, and the healthy ones will stay, and the disabled and emaciated children will be abandoned without hesitation.

Before the age of seven, children will undergo brutal training every day, honing their will and physique, and after the age of seven, children will be banished, leave their families, leave Sparta, and be tempered in the wilderness, and those who survive will be able to return to the Federation.

This is Sparta, a federation of the jungle, whose warriors are extremely brave.

A warrior named Leonidas, because of his bravery, became the king of Sparta, but he encountered a problem, the king of Persia wanted to conquer Sparta, he sent messengers to Sparta, and demanded that they surrender

This movie is worthy of being a big production produced by Paramount, whether it is the costumes, props, or scenes, it is exquisite and restored, which makes people feel epic.

The most subtle thing is the lens and color grading of the movie, which is a cold iron gray, similar to the texture of a comic, which does not match reality, so that the audience can wander outside the movie and appreciate the joys and sorrows of the characters in the movie from the perspective of God.

This kind of picture quality and color grading are inseparable from Schneider, and he often used this kind of picture quality and color grading in the last movie "Dawn of the Living Dead", giving the audience a very novel feeling.

In the film "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", he once again used this comic book style, which had a wonderful chemistry with the content of the film itself.

Overall, Schneider's style and the content of the film complement each other, which makes the quality of the film successfully improve to a higher level.

Even if Xu Nanming knew the content of the movie, he watched it, he was also immersed in it, and his emotions involuntarily rose and fell with the content of the movie.

This is something that only a good movie can do, so that the audience can enjoy the emotional value of watching the movie, and "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" actually did it.

Relying on this alone, the movie "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" cannot be much worse.

Xu Nan smiled, this was exactly what he wanted.

The better the results of the genuine movie, the easier it is for him to touch porcelain.
