I’m a Director, Why Are You Asking Me to Buy Missiles?

After transmigrating to a parallel world, Jiang An finally managed to achieve a little success in the film industry through years of hard work. “Let’s congratulate Director Jiang An on winning this year’s Golden Shadow Award for Best...” But who could have seen this coming! At the film festival awards ceremony, Jiang An’s gold trophy turned into a pair of silver handcuffs in an instant, setting the internet ablaze! “Are you Jiang An? Did you make this film, War Lord?” “Yes.” “Then did you know that all the guns, ammunition, tanks, artillery, planes, and warships used as props in the film were real?” “What? Who put all those weapons in my movie?!” “I hear a lot of people have been trying to buy drones and ballistic missiles from you, too. What’s that about?” “Officer, I’ve told those out-of-town guys over and over that I’m just a film director, not an arms dealer. But they insist I am. I say it wasn’t me, and they say it was.” “Comrade, don’t be nervous... We have a little fishing boat here. Think you could make a movie with it?” “Huh?” The next day Jiang An brought out the script for Pacific Rim, which he had written overnight, and picked up another phone call: “Yes, this is Jiang An. How many times do I have to say it? I’m just a director. Why are you asking me to buy missiles?” “I asked what kind of missiles you want to buy!” “Tell me the model!” P.S.
