Chapter 579: Him in the Interview
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the box office of "The Martian" steadily climbed to 500 million, and the performance curve declined slightly, but it looks like it will soon become another "1 billion +" work produced by Beijing Blu-ray.
On this day, Zhang Zhonghui, the absolute protagonist of the performance of "The Martian", accepted an exclusive interview with "Jingle Weekly", and he will set aside half a day for Tang Ang, the deputy editor-in-chief.
However, Tang Ang has to stay in Chaoyang Cultural Industry Park for a day, and he has two interviews, Zhang Zhonghui in the morning and Li Zaoyu in the afternoon.
"Mr. Zhang, this year's Spring Festival file seems to be a beautiful beginning of the 'Five-Year Science Fiction Plan', have you ever thought that the first work would usher in such success?"
Tang Ang asked a congratulatory question to Zhang Zhonghui after the official start of the interview in the morning.
Zhang Zhonghui is quite solemn in a well-fitting suit, this is the first time he has spoken after the release of the first work of the "Five-Year Science Fiction Plan", Forrest Gump flew to Paris today, and this opportunity is reserved for himself.
He replied with a smile: "I didn't think about it, at the beginning, no, I can't say the beginning, I should say that before the release, I thought that this drama would be okay without losing money, I really didn't expect it to be able to make a profit today." ”
Tang Ang said curiously: "The box office data updated at 8 o'clock today, "The Martian" got 505 million, is this number considered to be profitable? Is its budget so high? As far as I know, the pre-release publicity does not seem to use this as a selling point, which is not in line with the 'blockbuster' publicity we are used to." ”
"The special effects are very expensive, and the special effects of this film have been repeatedly returned, you should know that a lot of its publicity starts from the school, and it is relatively more expensive, if you count it together, it is almost 130 million. Zhang Zhonghui said seriously, "But this is the first year, and everyone thinks that doing more publicity is good for the whole plan, so they gritted their teeth and did so." ”
Zhang Zhonghui continued: "Xuanfa didn't use this as a selling point, in fact, it is very simple, the opinions within several companies are relatively unified, and I don't want to regard the success or failure of the first film as the success or failure of the five-year plan, so as not to put too much pressure on other colleagues in the company." ”
Tang Ang nodded: "Can you see Mr. Zhang's determination to do a good job in this subject, I heard that you have a very interesting name internally, 'King Zhang Ke'?"
Zhang Zhonghui under the camera didn't expect to hear this title from the reporter's mouth, and he suddenly laughed on his back, very happy.
He laughed unabashedly for a while, and waved his hand again and again: "It's just a joke, at first Forrest Gump fooled me, saying that he wanted to make me the king of science fiction through his works, referred to as, King Zhang Ke." How do you know? If this is reported, the audience will say that we are arrogant, and we can't blame me, it's all Forrest Gump!"
Tang Ang liked this relaxed chatting atmosphere, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that the person who took the blame is not here today, Mr. Zhang, many viewers are actually very interested in the plan of several of your companies to jointly create science fiction works, what kind of considerations do you and Gan Dao have as the initiators?"
Zhang Zhonghui restrained his somewhat gaffe smile, and thought for a while before saying seriously: "Although there is a joking of 'science fiction' between us, don't think that I am the core of the plan, there is no doubt that Forrest Gump is the original initiator, and it was he who pulled me to do this, I don't know his considerations, but I decided to join based on my trust in him." ”
"Is it trust in Gan Dao, is it simply such a factor?" asked Tang Ang.
"That's the most important factor. Zhang Zhonghui said affirmatively, "Like my newly established Huiwan Film and Television, my acting career, etc., of course, this will also be considered, but it is not as important as trusting him." ”
Tang Ang gave a regretful look again, how good it would be if Director Gan was on the scene: "Teacher Zhang, can you tell me why you trust Director Gan so much? I think this kind of trust will be a bit beyond our expectations." ”
Zhang Zhonghui took a sip of tea, and suddenly felt as if he hadn't seriously thought about this problem.
"Hmm......"
Zhang Zhonghui pondered for a while, and first gave a summary evaluation: "Forrest Gump is a very charismatic person, you know?"
Tang Ang responded: "Can you direct, can you act, can you edit?"
Zhang Zhonghui smiled: "He is like this, but the charm I feel lies in his eternal enthusiasm for performance, which is contagious." ”
"I'll tell you a detail that I remember vividly, and I don't think I've ever told anyone before. Zhang Zhonghui opened the conversation box and recalled, "The first play I worked with Forrest Gump was "Infernal Affairs", it was a very good book, I liked it the first time I saw it, he was a little famous at that time, right? ”
"According to the general concept of the audience, he is not as high as my coffee position, and besides, he has never cooperated before, so I also have some doubts in my heart before entering the group to start filming, how is this Gan Jing? Can he really hold up a role like Chen Yongren? If he can't hold up, it's better to play it for me!"
Zhang Zhonghui looked at the deputy editor-in-chief and said with a smile: "You have watched "Infernal Affairs", think about it, who doesn't want a role like Chen Yongren?"
Tang Ang nodded, that's right, after the fact, "Chen Yongren" is more liked by the audience.
"I remember that the crew started filming that day, and I wanted to see Gan Jing's quality - then he didn't win the actor, the first scene was to shoot the scene where Gan Jing and Lu Wei met on the rooftop, that is, Chen Yongren and his boss Huang Zhicheng met, and the details I want to talk about are the Morse code that Gan Jing tapped on the railing when Lu Wei walked to Gan Jing. ”
"Morse code is the means that Chen Yongren uses to convey information, it is a skill that he must be proficient in, the script is not written this paragraph has Morse code, but Gan Jing is still waiting as if he is bored to practice this, this kind of rich character flesh and blood, really become a character details is so unforgettable for me. ”
"To tell you the truth, it's so rare for an actor to treat a character like this. ”
Zhang Zhonghui narrated very seriously, and a trace of exclamation in his expression seemed to be still moved by Gan Jing's performance in that scene.
Behind such details is Gan Jing's seriousness about the performance and the role, and he treats all the roles like this. Zhang Zhonghui took another sip of tea, "As an actor myself, I really can't help but think that such Forrest Gump is too charming." ”
Tang Ang listened carefully to the description from Zhang Kewang, and was still a little skeptical, did Gan Jing still practice the Morse code for this role? Is there such a paragraph in the play?
Zhang Zhonghui seemed to see the thoughts of the deputy editor-in-chief in front of him, and said with a smile: "You can buy a DVD of "Infernal Affairs", oh, it should be a collector's version, there are some tidbits from the set, and you can see the scene I said." ”
Tang Ang was surprised: "I know why many people say that DVD is a cash cow hidden by Beijing Blu-ray, if China promotes these, others dare not say it, I have to buy the movies released by Beijing Blu-ray in the past few years." ”
"It's too late to contribute some performance to them now, well, Beijing Blu-ray is still more conscientious, and generally puts some content outside the feature film in the DVD, and some of his films are the kind that can be enjoyed repeatedly, and he can't buy a loss, and he can't be fooled. Zhang Zhonghui sold it easily.
Tang Ang smiled a little strangely: "Teacher Zhang, our interview is a bit off-topic, and we chatted for a while. ”
"It's okay, I think the audience may still love to watch this more, since you are going to interview us to shoot this subject today, Forrest Gump should sit here better, he has more ideas for many things, including entering the campus on publicity, holding the mentality that the first part does not make money, etc., if he comes to talk, it is estimated that the things in this can be broken. Zhang Zhonghui explained for Gan Jing when he said this, "But he will be on a flight to Paris, and he has a new play there." ”
"I heard it's 'Love at Sunset?'" Townon asked.
Zhang Zhonghui nodded: "You are really well-informed, it is this drama, and he has been delaying it for a long time, I heard him say that he asked Mo Jiana to try directing, but the final editing is still in his hands." ”
Tang Ang blinked, remembering that he still had a female artist who paid attention to the blue light in the capital on [Above].
The interview continued, because of the results of "The Martian", the deputy editor-in-chief and the actor chatted quite happily, and a lot of the content told also made Tang Ang feel fresh.
Of course, he had some doubts about some parts, such as whether the details in "Infernal Affairs" were exaggerated, such as whether the film schedule turmoil before the Spring Festival was really white and flawless as the words said.
In the morning of the fourth year of junior high school, Tang Ang obtained a lot of selling materials, and also got his views on Gan Jing from Zhang Zhonghui's perspective, so he looked forward to what Li Zaoyu's perspective would be like in the afternoon.
In the second interview, as soon as they met, Li Zaoyu gave a surprise that did not disappoint Tang Ang.
"Oh, Brother Gan, he's gone to Paris, he has two films to shoot in the future, and he's very busy. ”
"Wait, two plays? Isn't it a "Love at Sunset"? and what is the other play?"
Li Zaoyu, who had just sat down, immediately got stuck when she heard the question from the deputy editor-in-chief, she swallowed her saliva and laughed dryly: "One, did I just say two?
Tang Ang pointed to the camera behind him and the voice recorder on the coffee table in front of him, the evidence was conclusive.
Li Zaoyu said a little helplessly: "I can't talk nonsense about the news that hasn't been disclosed, you just should be a one." ”
"Journalists want to know the news in advance, just like if you go to a film festival, you want to know in advance if your name is in the award envelope. Tang Ang Zhenzhen said, "The movie plan is not an unsightly thing, you just say it, otherwise I will call Director Gan and disturb him for jet lag." ”
Li Zaoyu pondered for a moment, as if this was the truth, she nodded: "Well, two dramas, and one is going to be filmed in New York." ”
"New York?" Tang Ang's eyes widened, and he suddenly became excited, although the domestic media's reports on the previous film schedule turmoil have been extinguished, but many people have watched the nonsense of the domestic media, and Gan Jing suddenly appeared to shoot a work in New York......
He asked, "What kind of subject matter is it? What kind of story is told? Is the director Gan himself? Is there a teacher in the starring role? Will you be on it?"
Li Zaoyu sighed when he heard this series of questions, his own mouth, just said that it was not over, just owes his mouth, owes his mouth, owes his mouth, owes his mouth!
She sighed again before replying: "The director is Brother Gan, and the starring role is useless in China, he is ......."
Tang Ang smiled: "Li Zaoyu, I'm recording this, you have to show it to the audience." ”
Li Zaoyu pursed his lips, nodded, showed his professionalism, and suddenly said with more enthusiasm: "The director is Brother Gan, and his play is going to be released in the United States, so I don't use domestic actors, the subject matter seems to be a drama, I heard him say that it is satirical, and I don't know the rest." ”
Tang Ang asked with great interest: "Why does Director Gan want to go to New York to film, is it because he wants to make some kind of response?"
"Brother Gan is a relatively steel person, no doubt in response. Li Zaoyu said affirmatively.
"But Director Gan has never been there, nor has he cooperated with that side. Tang Ang thought for a few seconds and found a word to describe it, "I think Director Gan and New York are a kind of incompatible, isn't this kind of shooting choice too good?"
Li Zaoyu shrugged: "I never question Brother Gan's choice. ”
Tang Ang suppressed the curiosity in his heart and brought the topic back to the main character: "Therefore, you will definitely not question that he chose you to play "Million Dollar Baby", even if you just had some friction with the crew of "Boxer" with the same theme before this play. ”
Li Zaoyu said bluntly: "Yes, Brother Gan gave me a chance, I will do my best to repay the opportunity he gave me, I may be limited to talent or something will not be good enough, but I must be the one who works hardest." ”
Tang Ang felt the confidence and sharpness of the actress in front of him, and felt that the change was probably due to some kind of wonderful process called "growth" that led to today's Li Zaoyu.
"Li Zaoyu, tell us some news that is not known to the audience in "Million Dollar Baby", this play was completed by Director Gan, Teacher Zhang, you, and Jiang Chun together, Director Gan and Teacher Zhang have a very tacit understanding of cooperation, and you have always been valued by Director Gan, everyone is very curious about the story here, especially Jiang Chun, who joined in bizarrely. ”
"I really don't know the process of Mr. Jiang's joining, so I feel that I came in inexplicably, but I hope he can get what he wants and get a trophy, if you want to talk about this play, there are quite a lot of places to talk about. ”
Li Zaoyu began to talk eloquently, she has participated in many programs since the release of "Million Dollar Baby" and has received a good reputation, and she is no stranger to this kind of interview in front of her.
While the second interview in the Chaoyang Cultural Industry Park was underway, Gan Jing's flight had already arrived at his destination Paris.
Morgana personally picked up the airport and drove a cool luxury car.
Gan Jing and He Yue arrived here, and the follow-up personnel will not follow up until a few days later.
"I'll drive it, I have an international driver's permit. "When Gan Jing arrived in Paris, even if he didn't care too much, it felt like he had removed a layer of baggage at the moment, and it felt good that no one knew him.
Mo Jiana naturally had no objection, she sat in the passenger seat, and the agent He Yue said hello and sat silently in the back.
Gan Jingjiu didn't drive for a long time, which would still feel a little fresh when he sat in the driver's seat, he started the car with a smile and asked in French: "Morgana, do you know why this kind of car needs to use a pocket gear?"
Morgana asked, "Why?"
"It's convenient for the co-pilot to stick his head over. Gan Jing replied.
“……”
Morgana never expected such an answer, and after a moment's pause, she glanced at it and smiled vividly.
He Yue in the back seat couldn't understand French, so she looked at Mo Jiana in the co-pilot and smiled very sexy and ......
As for why laughing, it doesn't matter!
There's no need to know!
