Chapter 309 Be Calm

"The consequences are so serious, why don't you take action?" Schneider asked.

Paramount has even produced a detailed investigation report. We have this time, if we don’t think of a way to act quickly, why are we wasting here?

"3000" stole the box office of your Paramount movie. Was it your money that was stolen?

This is really related to your interests, yet you still haven’t taken action?

Paramount's vice president sighed: "We also want to act, but the fact is, we can't do anything."

Schneider asked: "Why, you can launch publicity channels and tell the audience that there are two Spartan movies and let them pay attention when watching the movie."

The vice president asked: "Don't we have publicity? News about this matter is almost everywhere on the Internet, and there is even a very popular meme circulating. In this case, how do you want us to publicize it?"

Schneider was stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Yes, this matter has become very popular on the Internet. Even when the media reports, they will mention "3000". Strictly speaking, the news that the two movies have similar names is everywhere. Anyone who surfs the Internet can know it.

This is equivalent to the fact that the earth is round. In theory, this is common sense. Basically everyone knows it. However, many people still firmly believe that the earth is flat.

You think something is common sense and should be known to everyone, but no matter how hard you try to publicize it, there are still people who don’t know it, and there are still people who don’t believe it.

Paramount has actually done everything it should do. Faced with this situation, it is really powerless.

For many people, it’s just a matter of watching a movie for entertainment. It’s so complicated that there’s no need to go through all the trouble of distinguishing it. If you watch the wrong movie, you just watch the wrong movie. It’s not a big deal.

After thinking about this, Schneider fell silent.

It seems that there is really nothing we can do.

Warner's big production "Pacific Rim" went to great lengths to promote that the two movies are different, so that the audience must not watch the wrong movie.

Then a famous meme arose, why did you film Rim Atlantic so badly?

If a similar joke were given to him, who could bear it?

Why did your picture of the Three Thousand Spartans look so bad?

Thinking of that terrible result, Schneider's body trembled, and the previous anger, previous resentment, and previous depression all disappeared.

forget it.

There's really nothing you can do about it. This is just a piece of brown candy. The more you care about it, the more disgusting it becomes. The best way is to let it go.

Schneider sighed and left helplessly.

The vice president of Paramount felt that it was not good to show weakness like this, and comforted him: "Actually, we have communicated with people in the theater chain, and I believe they will restrain themselves."

"In addition, I can't tell the difference between the movie and the popularity of the film. In fact, there will be feedback to the 300 Spartans. Rounding it off, we actually don't suffer."

Schneider smiled politely, but he didn't really believe it.

He knows better than this vice president the ethics of theater chains, especially those small theater chains, which have no moral integrity at all. Paramount can only affect the three major theater chains, but it is impossible to affect all theater chains.

Rather than counting on this, it is better to hope that the popularity of "300" will pass, so that "3000" that relies on porcelain will not be able to take advantage.

But after the popularity of "300" passed, he also suffered a loss.

After understanding this truth, Schneider was desperate.

There's really nothing you can do about this bastard Xu Nan.

What can you do to a person who doesn't even have a face, and who has made it clear that he wants to be a scoundrel, and that he wants to mess with you?

Unless there is a legislation banning porcelain, this is impossible.

Actually nothing.

Schneider began to think of ways to comfort himself.

As the saying goes, since you can't resist, you might as well enjoy it.

If you think about it carefully, "300" has exploded in word-of-mouth and box office, and its box office trend has skyrocketed, and it is about to exceed 100 million.

According to the latest predictions from the ticket purchasing software, the total box office of 300 has become 480 million.

With this film, he has already joined the ranks of great directors and has become a popular figure in the American film industry.

In comparison, Xu Nan is really not good enough.

A guy who only shoots copycat movies, crazily reduces costs, makes shoddy movies, and then messes with things. Compared with him, he is not on the same level at all.

He shines brightly, but the other party can only sneak around in the shadows and darkness, making a little money by picking up the detritus of the great director.

Thinking of this, Schneider suddenly felt much more comfortable.

Sure enough, sometimes people just need to be more open-minded. As long as your heart remains calm, the storms in the outside world don't matter.

Schneider realized this and his mood improved to a higher level.

He returned to the hotel and continued busy promoting the movie.

After a promotional event, the assistant suddenly came over and said hesitantly: "Director, do you want to take a look at this?"

Taking the phone, Schneider saw the content on it.

Xu Nan’s Twitter account.

He raised his eyebrows and immediately did some mental construction for himself.

It's nothing, he is just a villain and a scoundrel. There is no need to feel emotional about this guy, let alone get angry.

After making sure he was ready, Schneider checked the content of Xu Nan's Twitter.

"Here I solemnly warn Paramount and Director Snyder not to try to take advantage of the popularity of my movie "3000". Even if the two movies have similar names, this is not a reason for you to take advantage of my popularity. Please How about a little face?"

Schneider felt his body begin to stir, and he took a long, deep breath.

calm down.

This Chinese director is so shameless. There is no need to be angry. There is really no need to be angry.

The audience's eyes are sharp and will never be deceived.

Schneider took a look at Xu Nan's comment section and found that it was pretty much what he thought.

"I'm sorry, I always thought that politicians were the most shameless, but today I discovered that you are even more shameless than politicians."

"Are you sure it's them who are rubbing off on you and not you who are rubbing off on them?"

"Why can you say such shameless things so calmly?"

"Brother, keep a low profile, otherwise you will be beaten easily."

"You are really a genius. I like your movies, and I like your shamelessness even more."

Schneider smiled. Sure enough, the eyes of the crowd were sharp. They knew the facts and would not be deceived.

This made him feel much better.

At this moment, Schneider suddenly noticed a comment.

"Xu Nan, please cheer up and stop making good movies. All your talents are in copycat movies. You should continue to make this kind of movies. You can't be lost by copycat movies, just like the West can't lose Jerusalem. "
