Chapter 106: Interview
"What kind of work does Director Gan want to make?"
"Make the audience feel comfortable. ”
"What kind of filmmaker does Director Gan want to be?"
"A delicate, humorous, uh, sorry, I didn't sleep well yesterday, a little distracted, what kind of filmmaker? Oh, don't call me Director Gan, calling my name will make me feel younger. ”
Sitting on the balcony of his home, Gan Jing faced an exclusive interview with Tang Ang, a reporter from Jingle Weekly, but his mind was slightly distracted to evaluate the light of the other party's camera from this angle.
"Xiaotang, your camera needs to be higher, and the shooting effect is not good now. Gan Jing didn't want to be invited by phone again after his interview was unsuccessful.
Tang Ang was suddenly interrupted and his smooth train of thought was suddenly a little displeased, but of course he didn't show it, but instead adjusted the camera with a little diligence, but after he raised it, he felt that the effect was not as good as the original.
Gan Jing saw that he was adjusted, so he reached out and pulled down the curtain, stopped halfway through it and asked, "How are you now?"
Tang Ang couldn't help but praise in surprise: "It's much better, it's worthy of being a director." ”
Gan Jing frowned: "You should bring a photographer ......"
"I'm really sorry, there should have been, but he and I were hit by a bicycle as soon as we got out of the newspaper office, and in order to protect the camera, we fell down in a daze and broke our bones and sent to the hospital. ”
"Well, okay, go on. Gan Jing looked at Tang Ang, who was easy to "burn" as soon as the name was pronounced, waved his hand, and motioned to continue.
Tang Ang silently wrote down a small notebook in his heart, next time in this case, we must consider the movement of the light after the camera is fixed, the angle of the light at the beginning of the house is not the same as the angle of the official start after the greetings.
"Just now, what kind of filmmaker does Director Gan want to be?" Tang Ang repeated the question of the draft that he had done before he came.
To say that this reporter is a reporter, the words are as comfortable as possible, and the words "filmmaker" can have more weight and cultural flavor than other titles.
However, Gan Jing doesn't feel that such an interview needs to hide anything.
"I didn't think about this problem, I just made this film so that my daughter would be encouraged when she grew up and saw it. Gan Jing said more, and estimated that he answered the reporter's possible follow-up questions.
Tang Ang said with a smile: "With my love for my daughter, this can impress the audience, so the word-of-mouth fermentation of this work will be so good, and many viewers must be able to empathize with Director Gan." ”
Gan Jing looked at the young reporter a little speechlessly, this must be okay if he insists on saying this...... It's just that his purpose is really not so noble.
Of course, a work of art can be interpreted in various ways after it has been completed, even if it is quite different from the author.
"Director Gan, before I came, I collected my colleagues' opinions on this movie, and several colleagues think that "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" can be re-filmed after the success of the protagonist, what do you think about this?" asked Tang Ang with a smile.
"Well, that's why your colleagues didn't become directors. Gan Jing used a little strength, "From the trough to the rebound, the final shots are all in the part where the protagonist comes out of the company and enters the crowd, and the rest doesn't need to spend any more space, which means that the spirit stops abruptly." ”
Tang Ang said: "That performance is indeed very exciting, Director Gan, will you still make a movie with this kind of inspirational theme or family theme in your next film?"
"There are no plans for the next part for the time being. Gan Jing said casually, "I want to make a science fiction film a little, but the technical conditions don't seem to be very mature, so I don't have a plan for the time being." ”
Tang Ang's eyes lit up: "From inspirational to science fiction, such a theme spans a lot? As far as I know, science fiction films are very niche in our country, why are you interested in it?"
"I like it. Gan Jing replied succinctly.
Tang Ang waited for a few seconds and continued to ask: "Do you think that if someone invests in making science fiction films for you, can our domestic soil adapt to it now?"
Gan Jing said with a slight straight face: "Actually, I think there are only good films and bad films for the audience, science fiction is good, of course I will watch it, if it is from the producer's standpoint, our soil is indeed not very good, the technical cost is too high, it is difficult to shoot, and the effect of using 600 million to shoot now may not be as good as using 300 million in two years, and 300 million in two years may not be as good as 1.5 billion in another two years." ”
Tang Ang said with great interest: "You are very confident in the works of different themes?"
"Well, it's okay. Gan Jing thought for a while and emphasized again, "Call me by my name directly, and don't call me 'you', interview, so that we can all be at ease." I don't like to call people 'you', so I like people to call me 'you'. ”
Tang Ang smiled: "Then, Gan Jing, this time I made a literary film, next time, whether it is science fiction or love, will you make a commercial film?"
Gan Jing corrected from the source: "The genre of the movie is not so clear-cut, I don't think "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is a literary film, I think it's quite commercial, or you can say that it is a commercial feature film." ”
Tang Ang thought for a while, and vaguely noticed that the young director in front of him was disapproving of film theory, and asked: "Literary film or commercial film, if you want to make it, which one will you choose?"
"The latter. Gan Jing didn't think much of it.
"Why are you so determined? Do you not recognize the value of literary films? I know that many people in the industry actually disagree with literary films that are not easy to achieve commercial success, don't you agree either?"
Gan Jing sighed and said: "Literary films and art films are not really the same, of course, I know that the division in everyone's concept is very vague. Even if it's a literary film, it's certainly not worthless. Normally, the audience wants to relax when they go to the cinema, and life is already very hard, so it is easy to get box office like a comedy. ”
"Literary films, many of them are based on reality, their perspective is on those breathless things in our land, this kind of reflection is of course valuable, there are beauty, jokes and suffering, it reflects our world. Box office has never been the only criterion for a film's success. I have a lot of respect for the kind of directors and actors who are dedicated to filming and dissecting reality. ”
"However, I personally prefer to get applause from the audience, and I don't think there's anything wrong with this choice. There is no distinction between the two choices. ”
Gan Jing pursed his lips: "Yes, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, I don't look up but respect them, I don't look down on or despise people who make money with movies." ”
Tang Ang listened quietly, and he felt that he had interviewed the young director's frankness.
Gan Jing thought for a while and added: "Of course, the exception of circle money." ”
Tang Ang nodded, and suddenly said sincerely: "I thought of the title of the interview, what do you think of defeating the ghost in a dignified manner?"
Gan Jing: "???"
Is there any dignified and glamorous focus in the whole conversation?
If you want to talk about the charm and spirit, you didn't ask me about stealing the box office at the same time!
You're poisonous, boy......
Do you want to be red??!Isn't it?!
