A few years ago, the box office exceeded 100 million, which was a big deal!

Then a bunch of media used the so-called box office data to prove that mainland actors couldn't afford the box office...

directly lifted Zhou Jielun and Lin Zhilin to the sky - box office lucky stars!

Then Lu Xiaoran was born, and this year alone, "Big Man" and "33 Days of Broken Love" have swept down more than 900 million box office!

"Rescue Mr. Wu", many people attribute the box office credit to Andy Lau, and he is not much praised as a director...

When it came to "Time and Space Love Traveler", many people stopped talking, "Big Man" was released, and then to "33 Days of Broken Love" on the National Day, Lu Xiaoran is already the No. 1 actor in the cumulative box office!

Weibo popularity list, he has been ranked first for half a year!

How do you ignore it?

And he is also very clean and self-conscious, and it is not easy to spread rumors!

Not even a single picture ...

And the marketing team of Orange Images itself is not vegetarian, if you want to play smear, he can fight back!

Lu Xiaoran is really a BUG, if you want to rank high-quality students, he is the undisputed first place in the three places across the Taiwan Strait...

Unless you're rehearsing acting...

But to be honest, how many people who watch movies go for the name of the actor?

Besides, Orange Image's rejection of the Golden Horse Award is equivalent to Lu Xiaoran's rejection of the Golden Horse Award...

This is no small matter!

Although Lu Xiaoran did not publicly express his position, he refused, which is tantamount to a public slap in the face, questioning its authority, the so-called credibility!

Of course, the Golden Horse Awards are very tough, and a bunch of filmmakers say 'The Golden Horse Awards are professional, fair and comfortable people...'

Lu Xiaoran didn't bother to respond...

......

Backstage of "Interview with Yang Lan", Lu Xiaoran looked at a bunch of questions on the script, and said directly: "Don't mention the matter of Jinma, a sensitive period!"

"I promise to grasp the scale and not embarrass you. ”

“... Well, don't mention the Golden Horse, you can talk about what you think about the movie!"

“OK！”

Yang Lan wore a short black suit, with her usual intellectual style.

Opening remarks: "Hello everyone, welcome to "Yang Lan Interview". The subject we are going to interview today is Lu Xiaoran, who is an actor, a director, and the owner of a new film and television company in the mainland. Many of us know him, but few of us know him, so today, let's listen to his own thoughts... Welcome Lu Xiaoran!"

Arranged in the shape of a study, Lu Xiaoran first shook hands with Yang Lan, and then sat down.

"Congratulations first, I heard that you received an audition invitation for "Mission Impossible"?"

“... A supporting role, not worth mentioning!"

"You seem to be resistant to Hollywood?"

"That's not it, it's just a white-dominated circle, it's hard for me to break in, this is not discrimination, but the market decides!"

Lu Xiaoran seems to be very talkative: "Asians, that is, yellow people, have a relatively small population in the United States, and the United States is mainly white and black. Therefore, American audiences do not buy the movies performed by yellow people. It is impossible for a white person to play a role for a yellow caster, and it is very difficult for a Chinese actor to receive any good role! Without market potential, screenwriters are reluctant to write scripts in which Chinese people are the protagonists. ”

"Chinese actors can indeed get higher exposure and higher fame in Hollywood, but it is really difficult to get good roles! If you want to be an excellent actor, it is not suitable to develop in Hollywood!"

"I went to audition for "Mission Impossible", whether I could get the role or not, the most important purpose was to see how the big Hollywood crews worked!"

"Is it for the purpose of learning?"

"Yes, there are too many jobs now, and sometimes I really want to leave everything behind and study hard!"

Yang Lan smiled: "Your identity is different now..."

"It's no different, my main job is to make films, marketing and company management, and there are special people to help. ”

"When we look at your films, they seem to have obvious commercial attributes, and you hate literary films?"

"Absolutely not, I really like Wang Jiawei's "Chongqing Forest", "In the Mood for Love", and I also like "Sunny Days", but the current mainstream market is to develop commercial films, I don't want to be a marginalized filmmaker, then I will make commercial films! Don't think that if you talk about literary films, you can mess around. But a lot of filmmakers are just messing around!"

"But many people say that there is a market for bad movies, what do you think?"

"You should have read "The Story of the Editorial Department", there is a paragraph in it that says, 'Some readers have vulgar aesthetic needs, but what we have to do is to guide them, not blindly cater to them', why are bad movies selling at this stage, it is because many audiences have not seen good movies, and they don't know what a good movie is!"

Lu Xiaoran wanted to say, 'The reeds are selling so well, can you tell the audience's fault?'

"We, the filmmakers, want to be in front of the audience, you can't take the initiative to cater to them!"

Yang Lan asked again: "You have made so many movies and used many directors, so what do you think is the most important thing for you to become a director?"

“... Personal aesthetic bar!"

"Aesthetics?"

"A director with a basic aesthetic is not too bad even if the things he shoots are not so good..."

Yang Lan nodded approvingly.

In fact, she really wanted to ask "Wu Ji"...

"You mentioned a noun on Weibo - IP, why?"

Lu Xiaoran thought for a while and replied: "... Let's put it this way, after "Why Sheng Xiaomo", I know that more than 20 online adaptations have been made into works, which is already a trend..."

"There are even many investors who suggested that we make the movie version of "Why", and said that we can sell it for money after filming... This is actually a kind of fan economy monetization, also known as IP economy!"

"I'm worried that in the long run, everyone will pay less and less attention to originality and production, and a high-quality IP in his hand can guarantee a big sale..."

Yang Lan was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer - she doesn't have an assistor, how can she know what IP is!

is still the same sentence, all variety talk shows will definitely enter this promotion.

It's not easy for other celebrities to come here, is it to talk to you?

It must be to promote film and television dramas.

"Lone Agent is an action movie, how did you come up with the idea of making an action movie?"

"I have always liked action movies, and when I watched "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", I had two directions of adaptation in my heart, one is "Border Storm", and the other is the current "Lone Agent". But "Lone Agent" is almost a one-man show, and it requires the actor to have a strong personal charisma..."

Hearing this, Yang Lan smiled: "So, do you think you are very attractive now?"

"At least I'm confident!"
