"I'm fine." Schneider replied.

The voice on the phone was much more relaxed: "That's good." ”

Schneider said in a deep voice: "But things can't be counted like this, this is obviously done by that damn Chinese director, he wants to promote "Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta" like the last time he promoted "Atlantic Rim". ”

"He's already stolen millions of box office dollars from us, he's a shameless thief, we can't continue to indulge this guy."

Paramount's vice president replied: "It's not what you think, I just got the news from the police that it's an internet blogger who asks you a question, and he just wants to gain more followers." ”

"My friend, don't be so imaginative, it's just an accident."

"Accident?" Schneider sneered: "Do you believe this statement?" ”

"Even if it's an accident, are we just watching that damn Huaxia thief steal the box office that belongs to us?"

"This is a film produced by Paramount, established more than 70 years ago, the top five film and television giants in Hollywood, do not do anything?"

The voice of the vice president of Paramount was a little embarrassed: "Behind the other party is the Imperial Cinema Line, and it has not violated the law." ”

Schneider laughed angrily.

Paramount, one of the five giants of Hollywood, is so cowardly?

"Ahem." The vice president of Paramount quickly changed the topic: "Actually, I called you for one more thing, at present, the online popularity of our movie has begun to decline, and the audience is starting to lose some patience, they need new stimulation to keep the popularity of the movie going." ”

"I have an idea, you can learn from Xu Nan, let go a little more when promoting the movie, and find a way to make the popularity of the movie continue, so that the box office will be a little higher."

"How can you let me go, be shameless like him?" Schneider said with a hint of anger.

"There's no need to be so extreme, that's what I think." Paramount's vice president recounted his plan.

First of all, spread the news that Schneider was questioned by Internet bloggers on the Internet, and bought hot searches, saying that this was Xu Nan's conspiracy.

Then, Schneider stood up to refute Xu Nan, saying that this kind of behavior is very immoral.

It's a very simple routine, but it has a certain stimulating effect on the box office of the movie.

The audience is a little tired of the promotion of the movie, but should be a little interested in the gossip and tearing in it.

Hollywood often plays this set, and when many stars don't have any works, they even rely purely on tearing to maintain popularity and coffee position.

And this can also cause a little trouble for Xu Nan.

Although this will also make the box office of "Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta" rise a little, it can't be helped, there is no good thing in this world that just takes advantage and does not pay.

Schneider thought about it and agreed to this plan for Vice President Paramount.

Although it can't cause a little harm to the shameless Huaxia director, it can at least vent his anger.

Soon, the call ended, and Paramount's VP began to prepare to go.

Buy hot searches, contact relevant media, build momentum, and arrange a series of packages.

This kind of hype is familiar to film and television companies, and Schneider is no stranger to it.

When he was resting, he picked up his phone and surfed the Internet to pass the time.

Suddenly, he swiped a video tweet from the famous film critic Francis.

The name of the video is called: "He is the light of my life." ”

Schneider, the person on the cover of the video, is also very familiar, that is, the Huaxia director who made him gnash his teeth.

What's the situation?

The brain was still thinking, and Schneider's fingers couldn't help but click on the video.

At the beginning of the video, there is the big face of Francis, who sits on the sofa with a serious face and says to the camera.

"Guys, I just received a call from Huaxia director Xu Nan, who invited me to the theater to watch his movie "The Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta", and said that I had watched the wrong movie."

"I'm a film critic, so I couldn't have watched the wrong movie, but considering that Xu Nan is my favorite director, I decided to go to the cinema."

"Gone."

In the video, Francis reaches out and picks up the camera, and the camera goes black, followed by a fast-forward view.

Soon, Francis came to the door of the theater and met the Chinese director Xu Nan.

Francis immediately trotted up, angry, and asked, "Why did you make "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" so good? ”

"You know how long I've been looking forward to your new movie, I thought I would see a movie like no other, but in the end it turned out to be a vulgar historical film."

"Maybe this kind of movie will be good for those stupid ordinary people, but this will not bring out your talent at all."

"A copycat movie is the ultimate movie, and it is the most suitable movie for you."

Hearing this, Schneider was a little infarcted.

The movie I worked so hard to make was generally praised by the public and had an excellent reputation, but it actually became a vulgar historical film in your mouth?

The progress of the video continues to move forward, and in the video, Xu Nan shows a sunny smile, which makes people instinctively feel good.

"Hello, film critic Francis, you have watched the wrong movie, the name of the movie I made is called "Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta", not Three Hundred Warriors."

Francis immediately replied: "I just made a mistake, why do you want to make the movie "The Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta" so good, you should put your God-given talent on copycats, and shoot movies similar to "The Hobbit Age", "Atlantic Rim". ”

"That kind of good-looking movie in the normal sense has already been made by a group of directors, and copycat movies, only you can make them."

In the video, Xu Nan still kept a smile: ""The Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta" is the kind of movie you said, you watched the wrong movie last time." ”

"Impossible." Francis swears: "I'm a film critic, and I'm an experienced film critic, I can't be wrong about a movie." ”

"Director Xu Nan, you are questioning my professionalism with this sentence."

Xu Nan continued to smile: "I know that you are not so easy to believe, so I specially invited you to the cinema." ”

"I've already bought you all the tickets, you can go in and watch the movie now, and see if you have watched the wrong movie."

With that, Xu Nan handed the movie ticket to Francis.

Francis still looked determined: "I can watch the movie, but you have to watch it with me." ”

"And I watched the movie, not because I watched it wrong before, but to convince you that copycat movies are where you belong."

"No problem." Xu Nan nodded.

In the video, Francis moves the camera so that his face takes up most of the screen and faces the camera.

He smiled and swore solemnly: "Director Xu Nan actually said that I watched the wrong movie, is it possible?" ”

"I'm a film critic, even if he, the director, admits the wrong movie, I can't watch the wrong movie."

"Immediately, I will make this guy Xu Nan realize his mistake."
