Chapter 211: Interview

For others, the National Day holiday is relaxed and comfortable, but for Li Zi'an, the National Day holiday is busy.

Since the explosion of "The Eternal Wave" and then to the popularity of the Magic Light concert, Li Zi'an's popularity has just dropped from the summer, and it has quickly risen again.

Media interviews, announcements, endorsements, and commercial performances followed, and Li Zi'an's originally full schedule was now completely filled, basically starting from 8 o'clock in the morning to 12 o'clock in the evening, and the work was almost seamless.

At the same time, "Perfect Stranger", which was released on September 30, after so many days of precipitation, has completely bloomed its brilliance at this time.

10 million paid on-demand views!

1,000,000 comments!

Professional Rating: 9.2 points!

Even in the National Day file where blockbusters are gathered, "Perfect Stranger" has torn a hole in the defense line of many capital parties by virtue of word-of-mouth and topicality.

Since October 2nd, film critics from all sides have begun to exert their efforts.

Before the release of the movie, the topic of "mobile phone privacy" was divided into two camps, and many professional film critics at the time predicted that Li Zi'an's films, no matter which audience they pleased, would inevitably suffer from the backlash of the other audience.

The vast majority of professional film critics are not optimistic about Li Zi'an's new movie, so that many film critics will subconsciously watch it with the subjective mentality of finding fault when watching the movie.

However......

When the movie was finished, all the critics fell silent.

Subsequently, rave reviews.

Even many film critics called it a masterpiece.

The reputation of its movies is like a snowball, many people watched it with a skeptical attitude at first, thinking that those film critics who called it a masterpiece did not collect black money, but after watching the movie, everyone secretly said that it was really good, and then resolutely devoted themselves to the big family of praise.

......

October 6th.

A commercial vehicle was driving smoothly and quickly on the viaduct in Hangzhou, and Li Zi'an, who was located behind the commercial vehicle, sat up from the chair with sleepy eyes, pulled the curtain of the car and looked outside, only to see that it was dusk.

"How long will it take to get there?"

Li Zi'an asked while rubbing his eyes.

"Soon, you're spirited. ”

Han Qian, who was sitting next to Li Zi'an and was working on the computer, saw that Li Zi'an was awake, and handed Li Zi'an a bottle of mineral water by the way while responding.

Li Zi'an nodded, he took the mineral water and took a sip to moisten his throat.

Han Qian was right, when the car got off the viaduct, it quickly arrived at their destination, which was the Yoku Video headquarters in Hangzhou.

As soon as Li Zi'an got out of the car, the staff who had been waiting at the Youku Video headquarters immediately greeted him.

Surrounded by everyone, Li Zi'an, Han Qian and others walked into the headquarters of Youku Video and took the elevator to the 12th floor.

"Ding......

When Li Zi'an and the others walked out of the elevator, they saw Xu Lu, who is now the vice president of the marketing department of Youku Video, standing in the elevator room and waiting for them with a smile.

"Aunt Xu. ”

When Li Zi'an saw Xu Lu, he stepped forward and shook hands with Xu Lu quite familiarly, and called with a smile.

"Lulu. ”

Han Qian stepped forward and hugged Xu Lu directly.

"We know you're busy, so we have set up the interview in advance, and the host and audience are all in place, so let's just go over. Xu Lu led them to think about the inside, and said with a smile.

When Han Qian heard this, she gave Xu Lu a thumbs up: "Reliable!"

Xu Lu faced Han Qian's praise, and Xu Lu gave Han Qian a "that must be reliable" look.

Li Zi'an, who was in the center of everyone's support, didn't say much, and many staff members of the cool video along the way were quite excited to see Li Zi'an, and some took out their mobile phones to follow.

Soon Li Zi'an came to the backstage of the interview studio.

This interview has been a program run by Youku Video for many years, and every week the main creators of the current popular movies or TV series are invited to come and conduct interviews.

When "To Our Simple Little Beauty" was on the air, this talk show sent out an invitation, but at that time, it was just in time for the final stage of the college entrance examination sprint, so Li Zian politely declined.

Today's interview naturally revolves around the movie "Perfect Strangers".

"Zi'an, just relax during the interview, if you find it difficult to answer a question, you can hand the host a look, she is experienced and can quickly help you cut through that question, and you don't have to be restrained when answering questions, we will cut out the bad answers in the later stage." ”

When the staff helped Li Zi'an install the chest microphone, Xu Lu said quickly.

Li Zi'an nodded, indicating that he understood.

Seeing this, Xu Lu didn't ask too much, picked up the walkie-talkie and informed the director's office that it was time to start.

"As we all know, the competition in my country's annual National Day film market is unprecedentedly fierce, and it is basically a blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million, and this year is the same. ”

"However, it is in this environment that there is a webcast movie with an investment of no more than 20 million yuan, but it has made a way out of such a fierce market, with a professional film score of 9.2 points, and the number of paid on-demand views is as high as 10 million times in less than a week after it was launched, with rave reviews, and countless professional film critics have stood on the platform!"

"Today we are fortunate to have the director of this film, let us applaud Mr. Li Zi'an, the director of "Perfect Strangers", a domestic third-tier star, a famous musician, and a famous filmmaker!"

The host of this talk show is a woman about thirty years old, not very tall, skinny and slender, and the aura of the whole person is very affinity.

The background music sounded at the scene, and Li Zian walked out of the side of the stage.

Seeing Li Zi'an appear, the scene immediately burst into warm applause.

In the face of the enthusiastic audience, Li Zian waved his hand, and then came to the host Zhang Dan and shook hands with Zhang Dan.

The applause subsided, and both sides took their seats.

After a simple interaction and commercial hype, the interview was on track.

"Director Li, many people on the Internet call the movie "Perfect Strangers" a masterpiece, saying that this movie is full of dry goods, including many controversial topics in society, such as marriage, gender, same-sex, workplace abuse, parent-child education and the core mobile phone privacy issue, can you tell us what your original intention is to create this movie?"

Zhang Dan asked the first question, and she faced Li Zi'an at forty-five degrees, making a listening gesture.

"Once upon a time, the carriage was slow, the letters were far away, and there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime. ”

Li Zi'an crossed his legs, put his hands on his legs, and always maintained a gentle smile on his face, and he answered Zhang Dan's question in a rather serious tone.

Nowadays, with the rapid development of science and technology, the birth of the Internet has smoothed out the distance that once existed, and in a materialistic society, people's choices have become more, and the temptations people have suffered have also become more. ”

It may be a tool for Wu Xiaojiang to find stimulation, it may be a carrier for Li Nan to relieve loneliness, it may be a necessary prop for Jia Di's heart, and it may also be a weapon that pierces Han Xiao's heart. ”

"The mobile phone has gradually become everyone's privacy container, and in the inside of the mobile phone, there are all kinds of secrets hidden by everyone, and the movie I created is to completely open everyone's mobile phones in the eyes of all friends and relatives, and when the secrets are exposed, see what everyone's innermost heart looks like. ”

Li Zi'an talked eloquently, he is the creator of the whole movie, and he naturally has a deep understanding of the movie.

"Once upon a time, the carriage was slow, the letters were far away, and there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime. Zhang Dan re-read Li Zi'an's first sentence, she read it a little, and then praised it sincerely: "Director Li, this sentence is so good, you are worthy of being recognized as a talent in the circle, and any sentence has such an artistic conception." ”

Li Zi'an smiled slightly, he didn't explain.

This sentence is actually a classic sentence in the book "Once Upon a Time" in the previous life, and now it is quoted by Li Zi'an.

"As Director Li said, when I watched the movie "Perfect Strangers", I was sweating as an audience member when I watched the secrets in my phone being revealed one after another. ”

Zhang Dan smiled and said a transitional word, and then immediately threw out the next question.

"Before the movie was released, the controversy over the issue of 'mobile phone privacy' was roughly divided into two camps, one camp felt that couples or couples should be honest, and the other camp felt that couples or couples should keep some privacy. ”

"In the movie, you first revealed all the privacy, making the whole dinner fall apart, but at the end of the film, everyone seems to have nothing happened, this ingenious design, so that countless people applaud, Director Li, can you tell me what your intention is to design this?"

Zhang Dan asked.

After Li Zi'an listened to Zhang Dan's question, he groaned, and then responded with a smile:

"Before the release of the film, many people thought that I would definitely take sides, but in reality, I was not firmly on one side or the other. ”

"I don't know if any of you remember, at the beginning of the movie, there was a crescent moon in the night sky, and at the end of the movie, there was a full moon in the night sky. ”

"One is that after the privacy of the mobile phone is exposed, all the truth is revealed, and the ending is that the friendship is broken and the marriage falls apart, and the other is that everything is safe, all the secrets continue to be buried in everyone's mobile phones, and everyone continues to live as usual. ”

"I didn't choose which side to take sides, the choice is still in the hands of the audience, I just show the two endings in a dramatic way. ”

Zhang Dan listened to Li Zi'an's explanation, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and a sudden look appeared on her face.

"So, in your film, it looks like one story, but it's actually two?"
