I'm a Trailer Director, and You Want Me to Make a Movie?

Wu Yan returned to 2010 with the Super Promotional Video System.

With his company on the verge of collapse, Wu Yan hit the market with a lingerie commercial.

As his reputation grew, Wu Yan realized something was off.

Famous singer: “Director Wu, your promotional videos are perfect for music videos. Please make one for me!”

Major household brand: “Director, the actors in your promotional videos are a perfect fit for our brand. Let one of them be our spokesperson. Name your price!”

Top music producer: “Director Wu~ The music in your promotional videos is heavenly. Please release it as an album!”

Big-time investor: “Director Wu, your promotional videos are a hundred times more exciting than movies. Come make a movie! Whatever the budget, we’ll fund it, and you can pick any actors you like!”

Wu Yan: “Hey, hey, hold on! I only know how to make promotional videos. You’re asking me to make movies?”

A-list domestic superstar: “Director Wu~ I hear that actors who appear in your promotional videos all win international awards~ Do you think I’d be a good fit? If you’re free, maybe we could talk about the script at a hotel tonight~”

Wu Yan: “Well, I can make an exception for that!”

Many years later, backstage in Hollywood.

Reporter: “Mr. Wu Yan, you’ve won Hollywood’s Grand Slam for three consecutive years. What is your understanding of film?”

Wu Yan: “Film? It’s just a longer promotional video.”

With that, he turned and walked away in style.

Watching him go, the reporter thought, No wonder he’s hailed as the greatest director, screenwriter, composer, and producer of the century…

And so humble, too!
