Chapter 239: A Sudden Press Conference
"Zhou Xiao, you calm down, there's no need to be like them. ”
"yes, it's just a hot spot, the more serious you are, the more angry you are, the happier they are. ”
"Don't bother, I've seen too many things like this, just bear with it. ”
"If you accidentally say the wrong thing, you're in a worse situation. ”
“...”
Zhou Xiao sat standing by the window, with Brother Wang and Teacher Xu Zheng behind him.
Outside, there were more than 20 reporters with long guns and short guns, because of the close distance, the building was dilapidated and the sound insulation effect was not good, and the words spoken outside came in very clearly.
"Director Wen, I'd better go out, it's not a way to stay like this, answer a few questions and get away, it was originally because of me, it affected the shooting, I'm sorry!"
"It's okay... Hey!" Director Wen also shook his head.
Early in the morning, a reporter came to the originally quiet photography venue, and he had to interview Zhou Xiao.
In addition to the ongoing dispute between movies and TV series, last night it suddenly broke out that his salary for "Jiang Ye" was 18 million.
In an instant, Zhou Xiao became the target of ridicule from many netizens.
"Yo, I thought you weren't a money-loving person, just for art, it seems to be overlooked. ”
"Who will help the rice ears calculate an account, 1800 or 2000, which is bigger. ”
"So it's all costume dramas, is "Jiang Ye" a big star's favorite?"
"This is probably a slap in the face, do you love money or not. ”
"What do you know, in business terms, it's called stop loss, and when you see it, you lose more than 30 million, and you still have to get back your blood, hahaha. ”
"I thought Zhou Xiao was preparing not to taste the fireworks in the world, and it seems that he is also a layman. ”
“...”
Pushed him to the fore again.
If it's just a fan, the crew can have a slightly tougher attitude and don't let them get closer, but it's a media reporter who comes, to be honest, the one who doesn't dare to offend is too dead, the reporter's pen, the murderous knife.
As long as you dare to push lightly, you will be exaggerated into a beating, and immediately negative news will fly all over the sky, and the producer and director will have some concerns.
Although he was persuading, Zhou Xiao was willing to go out, which was the best.
Otherwise, it's been two hours, and not a single shot has been taken, which will affect the progress very much, looking at the posture of those reporters, they are ready for a long time, and they will not stop vowing to achieve their goals.
"Okay, I'll call a few people over to help you maintain order, and when you speak, be smooth, there's no need to argue. The director made the arrangement.
"Thank you, director, can you let people go out and talk first, Brother Wang and I have to discuss it first, let's start in twenty minutes." Zhou Xiao thanked him.
"No problem. ”
The director walked to the side, and after a few words with a field reporter, the other party went out, and after a while, the noise disappeared, and many reporters were taken to other places.
After Zhou Xiao confessed, he sat down alone with Brother Wang.
"Are you sure you want to go?"
"So what to do, the shooting has been affected. Zhou Xiao was also helpless: "I don't want to be a trouble for the whole crew." ”
"Okay, don't pay attention to the questions that will be too sharp, I hope you will break out in resistance, you can't be led by the nose, remember what you said during the meeting. ”
"Hmm. ”
Although we will not take the initiative to accept interviews, the company has also taken countermeasures to prevent sudden traffic jams at the airport or today's situation, and has prepared a series of answers to the questions that will be asked by the press conference.
"Try not to answer questions that are very point-inducing and want to stir up controversy. ”
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. ”
After the communication, the two moved.
The crew also specially found a small restaurant, and the reporters spontaneously sorted it out, and when they entered the door, they saw that the usual press conference felt similar.
A small area was given up in front of him, and a table was placed with voice recorders and microphones, while the others sat opposite.
Click, click, click!
are taking pictures.
Zhou Xiao sat down with a smile and looked around.
"Are you suggesting that I'm going to invite everyone to dinner at noon, it doesn't seem like a big problem, do you want to look at the menu first? ”
Hehehe!
A burst of laughter.
"Okay, let's hurry up, I've been delayed a lot in the morning, the director has criticized me, don't mess around, come one by one, only one question, what do you think?"
After hearing this, the reporters who were in a bit of a commotion couldn't say anything, after all, it was an unexpected surprise to be interviewed, and they all nodded in agreement.
Brother Wang looked at Zhou Xiao and pointed to one of them.
"Hello Zhou Xiao, what do you think of the rumors about the Internet during this time?"
Zhou Xiao didn't think.
"You said it was a rumor, of course I was smiling and watching, what is a rumor, chasing after the wind, many of them are fiction and exaggeration, you are professionals, whether it is true or imaginary, I don't need to explain more. ”
Tai Chi.
The female reporter who asked the question was obviously not satisfied with his answer, but there was no way, Brother Wang's hand was already pointing to the other one.
"May I ask Mr. Zhou Xiao, for someone who commented that you just want to talk about the development of the big screen, do you have anything to say? ”
Zhou Xiao smiled in his heart, I will ask this question.
"In my opinion, whether it is a movie or a TV series, the purpose is the same, to bring happiness to the audience, but choosing a script role is not a simple matter, pat the ass, I want to act, I will act immediately.
It doesn't exist!
First of all, the actor is the one who is chosen, just take out a movie or TV series, and there will be competition for each role, I, Zhou Xiao, am just a rookie actor, and I am not qualified to say that I will choose others.
In addition, schedules, roles, scripts, directors, company ideas, market needs, etc., are all prerequisites that affect actors taking on the role.
will pick up, regardless of the result, because before the broadcast, no one knows whether the result will be good or bad, but at the time, this choice can only show that it is definitely relatively reasonable.
Of course, all this represents my personal opinion, and I don't know much about the other actors. ”
"Zhou Xiao, did you participate in the audition for "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" last year, did you really refuse to play the leading role, and now regret it?"
Here it comes!
All the reporters stared at Zhou Xiao with burning eyes, expecting his answer.
"Yes, I did audition!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of discussion, which had been just rumors for a long time, and now it was finally confirmed.
"Those costume photos uploaded on the Internet were indeed taken when I participated in the audition, I didn't refuse, referring to my answer to the last question, it is really a multifaceted reason, the two sides failed to cooperate, but it does not mean that there will be no chance in the future, because I have met and talked with the director and screenwriter, in fact, when I first started broadcasting, I saw that the ratings were very high, and I also sent a congratulatory text message, and the director also liked it very much..."
The answer that journalists want to hear is, of course: I participated, I refused, I regretted it!
Zhou Xiao couldn't be as he wished, and he didn't dare to say that it didn't leak, but this answer was already to take care of the face of both parties, and it would not provoke contradictions.
said a thousand ways and ten thousand, he really refused!
Choosing a play is the same as looking for a job.
There are two companies in front of them, one is a world-renowned Fortune 500 company, and the other is a stormy company, because of the influence of inertial thinking, most people will inevitably choose the front.
So Zhou Xiao chose the latter to everyone's surprise, and naturally those three aunts and six mothers-in-law came out to reason with you, and they also had to stand from a perspective that was higher than you, with a critical tone.
If you really want to say, what does it have to do with you what role people choose and what role they reject?
It's not just to rub the heat.
"May I ask Zhou Xiao, "Wolf Warrior 2" and the movie version of "Three Lives" compete together, what is your box office expectation, and can you win?"
"Hehe, this reporter, I want to ask, what are the numbers of tomorrow's lottery ticket?" Zhou Xiao looked at him: "You don't know, I'm also an ordinary person, and I don't know!"
However, each work is the result of a long and long time of hard work by hundreds of cast and crew, and I am not a film critic, nor have I seen other movies, so I dare not be presumptuous.
Here I want to ask you a rhetorical question, what do you think is the standard of a good movie?"
"Box office!"
"OK, since you talked about the box office, let me give you an example, "The Shawshank Redemption" should be familiar to everyone, Douban, IMDB both scored first, I have forgotten a little bit, anyway, they are all more than nine points, which shows that whether it is a foreigner or we Chinese people, it is a good movie, right?"
A lot of people nodded.
"But do you know that when it was released in '94, the film was dismal at the box office, and the response was mediocre, and it only won 28 million US dollars, and it still relied on the later DVD sales to recoup the cost.
Well, some people here may want to say that it is a foreign film, and it is not representative.
""Journey to the West", it is representative, a generation owes Xing Ye a movie ticket, and when it was first broadcast, most of the evaluations were incomprehensible, what the hell, and the box office was average, but to this day, I personally occasionally revisit it.
Of course, I don't want to compare "Wolf Warrior 2" with the classics, don't write nonsense, I will never admit it, just name two movies that I particularly like, just answer the reporter's question, if there is any trouble, please find him, thank you. ”
Hahahaha, there was laughter at the scene, and the originally tense atmosphere was eased a lot.
"In my personal opinion, the box office is the way to judge whether a movie is good or not, but it is not the only way.
After all, it is filmed to show the audience, and if the audience doesn't pay for it, no matter how good the critics and peers say, it's useless, you don't shoot for them.
As one of the actors of "Wolf Warrior 2", I have experienced the filming process that you have not seen, and I know how much effort the crew has spent and how many sins they have suffered, just to present a wonderful film to the audience, and I believe that the result will naturally live up to the effort. ”
"For the rumors that you took "Jiang Ye" to stop loss, do you have anything to say?"
"Hahaha, it's the prophet's statement again, how did he know that I would definitely lose money, I think I can double the money back, make a suggestion, first write down those who sing the movie in a small notebook, and at the end of the month, how about we turn over the old accounts one by one. Zhou Xiao made a joke.
"When it comes to stop loss, by the way, I myself am a shareholder of Rice Ear, so there is no such thing as leaving, many brokerage companies have come to contact me recently, and you also said when you reported that I had no intention of leaving.
Besides, investment must be risky, and Buffett has a time when he looks away.
And as an actor who has personally participated, if I hadn't had faith in the script, how could I have invested more? ”
"May I ask Zhou Xiao..."
"I think..."
"For ... Problem!"
"What I'm trying to say is..."
The half-hour meeting lasted for an hour before it ended, and the reporter was satisfied, and Zhou Xiao finally regained temporary peace here.
(Suddenly a more chapter hahaha, it's really gone today)
