Chapter 305: Come Again
Seeing this title, three question marks couldn't help but pop up above Schneider's head.
What do you mean? What does this title mean?
"Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" was filmed by him, what does it have to do with Xu Nan.
With a hint of doubt, Schneider continued to read.
"Oh my God, Director Xu Nan, how can you shoot "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" so well?"
"Yesterday, it was the day when the Chinese director Xu Nan's work "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" was released, as his fan, I booked a movie ticket through the ticketing software early, and went to the theater early in the morning to watch it, and I didn't even care about my girlfriend."
"I entered the theater with great anticipation, I wanted to see a wonderful copycat movie that was different from mainstream movies, but I didn't expect to see a mediocre and boring ordinary defense in the end."
"At the beginning of the movie, there is a picture of an old Spartan man standing on a cliff with a baby in his arms, and at the bottom of the screen is the skeleton of a baby."
"The composition of the movie is perfect, especially the cold iron gray color scheme, coupled with the narration of the dubbing, in just a few tens of seconds, the audience is plunged into the epic atmosphere of the movie, so that their emotions follow the story and ups and downs of Sparta."
"I just watched the feature film for a minute, and I had a bad premonition, but with my trust in Director Xu Nan, I still watched it strongly."
"But in the end, I was disappointed."
"The plot of the movie is very simple, telling the story of the Spartan king Leonidas who led his 300 guards to face off against the Persian army of 500,000, and finally died heroically."
"The whole movie can be said to be very good-looking, very exciting, whether it is casting, or plot, or rhythm, or dubbing, or color matching, in short, every aspect of the movie is very good, in conscience, this is a very good classic epic movie."
"But the question is, Xu Nan, how can you make movies so wonderfully, you are the pioneer of copycat porcelain films, the movies you make should be completely different from the movies on the market, they should be full of the rebellion of the current vulgar films, they should show their unique aesthetics, how can you learn from those vulgar directors and make good movies in the normal sense."
"If I want to watch a good movie, I can open a video website, I can go to Pepsi to rent a videotape, and I can watch dozens of good movies casually."
"But there are only two copycats on the market, I thought that "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" would be the third, which can enrich the spiritual world of our fans, but I didn't expect you to make a normal movie like those vulgar directors, which is a betrayal of our fans."
"The copycat touches the porcelain piece, it is unique, it is incomparable, it is shocking, your talent should be used in this special movie, how can you make a normal movie."
"Director Xu Nan of Huaxia, I'm so disappointed in you, I thought you were different from those ordinary directors, and the movies you made were full of unique ideas, but I didn't expect you to fall in the end, give up your advantages, and learn from those ordinary directors."
"I spit on you, I spurn you fiercely, you are a betrayal, comparable to Judas's betrayal of Jesus."
"I'm so disappointed that you made the movie so good, and I'll never forgive you."
After reading the movie review, Schneider didn't know how to vomit in the groove of his stomach.
What does this mean, co-authoring Xu Nan to make a good movie is still a mistake, right?
The point is, the movies he made are not good.
Also, "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" was not filmed by Xu Nan at all, it was filmed by him.
What is this called?
Schneider took a special look at the author of the film review and found that it was actually written by the famous film critic Francis.
This is a very well-known film critic, with a great influence in the circle of film critics, and if you compare it horizontally, it is probably equivalent to Cameron in the director's world.
Would such a film critic recognize the wrong movie?
Schneider instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and he smelled a sense of conspiracy in this review.
There are a lot of comments underneath the movie review.
"Yes, how can Xu Nan make the movie so good."
"There are enough vulgar directors, and I finally have a director who is not vulgar, but I didn't expect to fall in the end."
"He should continue to shoot copycat porcelain pieces, so that he can show his talent."
"I was so disappointed, I thought Xu Nan was a special director, but I didn't expect to be an ordinary director after all."
"Could it be that no one has taken pictures after the cottage touches the porcelain piece?"
"I can't lose the copycat porcelain, just like the West can't lose Jerusalem."
"I decided to go back and watch 'The Hobbit Age' and 'Atlantic Rim' again, it's the only food I have left."
Looking at these film reviews, Schneider was a little strange.
It's not that none of these people noticed that this movie review was wrong from beginning to end.
He was tempted to tweet something, but gave up after thinking about it.
Let's take a look first.
Francis is a well-known film critic, and when his film reviews were published, they sparked an enthusiastic response.
No matter how popular "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is, it is impossible to occupy all the pages of the news, let alone "Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta" is so similar to the name of Three Hundred Warriors.
So, this film review quickly spread and aroused the audience's suspicions.
"Francis, what did you write about?"
"If I'm not mistaken, "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is Schneider's work, and "Three Thousand Warriors" is Xu Nan's work."
"It's understandable that someone else has seen the wrong movie, but can a famous film critic like Francis also watch the wrong movie?"
"Come on again, right, this Huaxia director wants to repeat the incident of Martin again, right?"
"Is there a possibility that Francis really didn't tell the difference between the movies?"
"It's funny, isn't it, everyone's laughing."
"Enough, don't laugh, don't take me for a fool."
This film review quickly sparked controversy, the audience is not stupid, although the audience in the United States sometimes lacks common sense, but the same time is impossible to go on twice.
Even some of the clever viewers began to get angry.
"Enough, I don't want to be taken for a fool."
"Maybe this Huaxia director thinks he's smart, but your self-righteous cleverness only makes me feel angry."
"Do you really think that you are the only smart person in this world?"
The response on the Internet was fierce, and everyone was scolding.
Then, the next day's box office came out.
"The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" grossed $25 million in a single day.
"The Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta", a single-day box office of $1.1 million.
The box office of 3,000 warriors actually soared fourfold against the trend.
What's the situation?
