Chapter 192 He Wants to Use You for Hype

"I'm going blind."

After watching "Captain China", Robert couldn't help but complain: "It's hard to imagine that such a trashy movie can actually make so much money."

"It is indeed a backward country, even its taste is backward."

"In our country, this movie can't go to theaters at all. Even if it does, fierce competition will only make this movie a complete failure."

“How is this movie so profitable?”

Robert was in disbelief.

The secretary echoed from the side: "This is a magical country, everything that happens is normal."

The boss of the cooperative company also said: "You are not the only one who is surprised. In fact, we are also surprised as to why this movie has such a high box office. But this movie does have a box office of one billion."

"Moreover, his first movie was a copycat of Pengcai. It only cost 200,000 yuan and earned more than 130 million yuan at the box office."

Robert was confused: "What do you mean by copycats and porcelain pieces?"

He obviously speaks Chinese very well, but why can't he understand this word?

The boss of the cooperative company explained to Robert the concept of copycats.

Robert opened his eyes in disbelief.

Is there such an operation?

Someone else worked hard to make a blockbuster, and then you deliberately made a hit movie with a similar title.

This, this, this is really outrageous.

It is indeed a magical country.

Robert raised his head arrogantly: "What a backward country. No one condemns such immoral behavior."

"In the United States, it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen. Even if someone cheats, they will only be condemned by the righteous audience, and it is absolutely impossible to make money."

"Our country's strict laws will not allow this kind of behavior to exist."

The owner of the partnership company couldn't help rolling his eyes, but he could only agree: "Actually, his behavior will be condemned here."

"So you'd better not go to this premiere, otherwise it will be detrimental to your reputation."

"No." Robert suddenly smiled: "The more this happens, the more I want to attend this premiere."

"Why?" The boss of the cooperative company couldn't help but ask: "Obviously, this guy Xu Nan plans to use your fame to hype his movie."

"Why do you still attend his premiere even though you know it? Isn't this giving him an advantage?"

"And I guess that the "Spider-Man" he shot is a new copycat of "Dragonfly Man" deliberately."

"He often does this kind of thing, and his reputation in the industry has long been ruined."

"No, no, no, you don't understand at all." The smile on Robert's face was extremely exciting: "He can use me, and I can use him."

"What a good hype topic, just right to attract the attention of netizens."

"He wanted to use me to promote it, and I just wanted to use him to promote it."

"Don't you think this topic is very exciting?"

The owner of the cooperative company thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case.

There is no need to think about the purpose of this guy Xu Nan inviting Robert. It must be to hype the movie "Spider-Man".

He often does this, and everyone in the industry knows it.

But hype is mutual, just like when an amateur exposes a star. As the star's popularity increases, the amateur's fame will also skyrocket.

Xu Nan is not an amateur. He is very famous. If you really want to count, there must be more people in China who know Xu Nan than who know Robert.

Moreover, if Xu Nan cheats on Robert, then Robert can in turn use Xu Nan's fame to promote the movie.

A two-way hype.

In fact, this kind of hype appears frequently on the Internet.

For example, hyping up the CP between men and women, hyping up the brotherhood or sisterhood between celebrities, etc.

The truth or falsehood of the matter is not important. What is important is that this kind of hype is indeed useful and can enhance the reputation of two people at the same time.

The boss of the cooperative company was able to obtain the agency rights for "Dragonfly Man". Of course, he was not an ordinary person. He was keenly aware of how much popularity this kind of hype could bring to the movie and how much benefit it would bring to the box office.

"If you really plan to hype up this point, I think it's best to contact Xu Nan."

"I believe he won't refuse. After all, it will be good for his movie."

It was originally a copycat movie that relied on popularity. The target of the copycat was willing to take the initiative to hype it up with you. In fact, it was Xu Nan who took advantage.

Robert nodded.

As the first person to think of using this matter to create hype, he certainly understood that it would be best to cooperate with Xu Nan to achieve the greatest effect.

He also believed that Xu Nan would not refuse.

After all, he is a very sincere person.

After returning, Robert immediately called Xu Nan.

"Xu, you want to use me to hype me up, don't you?"

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while, and then he admitted: "Mr. Robert, I didn't expect to be discovered by you so soon."

Robert showed a true smile: "I really didn't know it at first, but after I watched your movie, I understood it all at once."

"Xu, you are very cunning. I was almost deceived by you."

Xu Nan said: "I'm sorry, but you and I are both directors, so you must understand that I don't want the movie to fail."

Robert immediately said: "No, no, no, don't compare you with me. You are a recognized bad film director, and I am a globally recognized film master. Do you think you are qualified to be compared with me?"

There was silence on the other side of the phone.

Robert smiled.

Even if he didn't see Xu Nan, he could still imagine Xu Nan's expression of frustration, helplessness, loss and even a little humiliation.

This is the effect he wants.

Only in this way, when he says he is willing to cooperate, will the other party feel ecstatic, like a humble slave receiving a reward from a proud master.

This is Robert's little punishment for Xu Nan.

For daring to deceive a great film master like him, this guy named Xu Nan will naturally have to pay a price.

After waiting for a while and confirming that the time was almost up, Robert said.

"However, I agree with you using me for hype."

There was a gasp from the other side of the phone.

Sure enough.

Robert smiled proudly.

"Really, Director Robert, I'm really, really surprised."

The person on the phone was almost incoherent, and you can imagine how excited he was.

Robert smiled: "Of course, I don't mind your deception, but the details of this matter need to be discussed."

"You can come to me and we can discuss the specific details of the hype."

"I don't want you to say no because it would be of great benefit to you."

The voice on the other end of the phone was decisive: "I'll be there soon."
