The next weekend, "Big Man" lived up to expectations, following the 29 million on Friday, the single-day box office on Saturday and Sunday all exceeded 30 million, and on June 28, "Big Man" was released for eleven days, and the cumulative box office officially exceeded 300 million!

And the reputation of the movie is very strong, and there is no sign of fading fans' enthusiasm for watching the movie, breaking 500 million, which is no problem at all.

The movie is a big hit, and the status of all the main creators is rising.

Yang Qing is likely to become the director with the highest single film score in Chinese films with "Big Man"...

After the last wave of official publicity in Beijing, Yang Qing accepted an exclusive interview with Southern Weekly.

……

Southern Weekly attached great importance to this interview and specially sent its ace editor Yuan Lei.

She and Meng Jing, a reporter from "Sanlian Life Weekly", are known as the "Southern Yuan and Northern Meng" of domestic entertainment reporters.

Wang Xiaofeng, the chief writer of "Sanlian Life Weekly", once wrote in his blog post "Southern Yuan and Northern Meng", "If Yuan Lei can come to work in "Sanlian", then the entertainment of "Sanlian" will be like a tiger with wings. I think that the Southern Yuan and Northern Meng, I think it was Yuan Shu and Cao Mengde back then, and now it is Yuan Lei and Meng Jing, how much has changed this, these two people, one can get half of the entertainment reports, and they have both, and they are invincible. ”

Later, Yuan Lei's focus shifted from print media to video, Zhejiang Satellite TV's weekend prime-time quarterly program "The Same Class", and she was the chief producer and chief screenwriter.

There is a status in the rivers and lakes, and Yang Qing respects her very much.

The two exchanged a brief greeting and then began to ask questions.

"It's been two years since the last work "Nightclub", what have you been doing in the past two years?"

After "Nightclub", Xiaoran gave me a direction to make a somewhat warm movie, but I wrote in retreat for a month, and found that this thing was not what I wanted.

""People in Embarrassment"?"

"Yes, in my first movie "Nightclub", Brother Yu was the first well-known actor to say to me, 'I acted in this play', and Xiao Ran was the first investor to say to me, 'I voted for this play, don't look for others', it happened that Brother Yu made a movie for the first time, and I could help, so I went to help;"

"How did you find the script for 'The Big Man'?"

"It's just that Xiaoran had a mature idea, asked me if I would like to direct, I was quite interested, and then I took over the job, and it took six months to polish the script, and when the script was fully mature, it was very fast to promote it, and our company has very professional producers..."

"What's the hardest thing about polishing a script?"

"It's just a lot of interesting points, you can't use it, for example, I set it up at the beginning because of Sun Dasheng's investigation, which brought out a series of problems, and then the relevant departments intervened, but this method was directly killed by me, because it is easy for you to touch the sensitive points when you write like this;"

"Did you make up the jokes in "Big Man" yourself?"

"You mean the entertainment attribute?"

"Yes. ”

"It's really not, it's mainly because Xiaoran has the credit of another screenwriter Guo Shubo, we laid the general framework, and then filled in some places with jokes, because this is a commercial film, looking at commercial genre films, there must be laughter, and the audience must be happy, otherwise, it will be difficult to get the high box office!"

"Are you satisfied with this film? Compared with the previous work, what breakthroughs or what are you particularly satisfied with? ”

"The whole process of making this film was a re-education process for me, and I gradually discovered my deeper understanding of film. With my current aesthetic and perception of film, I have done my best to make it what it is now.

Maybe before filming "Big Man", I may have paid more attention to the weaving of the script, and I may have paid more attention to the more dramatic, plot, and logic.

In the process of making this film, I actually slowly developed a huge interest in acting and characters. Compared with my last work, "Big Man" has a great improvement in performance, because I have this consciousness myself, and consciously shift my energy to acting, communicate more fully with the actors, and finally serve the creation of roles. ”

"Evaluate Lu Xiaoran. ”

"He's the best movie-savvy person I've ever met, he's very professional, and he's got a lot of creative inspiration, and when he's done with the scene, he'll make a sci-fi movie, and when it's released, you'll be amazed!"

"How did you meet him?"

"When I was filming "Border Storm", I was his assistant director. ”

"What is your impression of the first time we met?"

"To be honest, the first time we met, I didn't take a fancy to him, I thought it was a young man who had gone through shit luck, and later in the creative meeting, seven or eight of us got together every day, and gradually got to know him, and when you got to know him, you knew that there was really a genius in film in this world!"

"What about personality?"

"At first, I thought he was very good at things, I knew a lot of people, and then after getting to know him, I knew that he was very proud, ordinary people, he really didn't care, what dinners, wine parties, you rarely saw him participate, and when I had time, I had dinner with a few friends, and he often taught me not to associate with people with different views. ”

"And are you thankful for him?"

"Of course, "Nightclub" was invested by him independently, and I am even more grateful to him for never asking me to do anything, after "Nightclub" was released, I participated in several so-called circle gatherings, and many people in the circle told you, Yang Qing, I tell you, what kind of movie should you make, what kind of road you should take next, you should be like director so-and-so... I was very distressed, so Xiaoran said to me, 'They know a fart, if they want to understand, why don't they do it themselves?'"

"He really respects the director, always shows the characters according to the director's intentions, and even if he doesn't approve of anything, he will communicate with me in private. ”

"Not only the director, he believes that everyone in this industry, from top to bottom, should be treated with enough respect. He told me that you can hardly expect to be disrespectful to someone, but he gives you something precious. ”

"I'm curious, he provided the script idea for "Big Man", why didn't he do it?"

"Maybe he doesn't have a lot of control on his own, and he really doesn't have time. Even this promotion, he only gave 7 days, no way, it's too popular... His schedule is full. ”

"Going back to "Big Man", this movie has achieved very good market results so far, did you expect it before?"

"I really didn't think about this, in fact, what we wanted was to be able to recover the cost, if we could make a small profit, it would be better, I didn't expect it to be like this!"

"Finally, what do you think of his acting skills?"

“… At least his performance in "Big Man" is unmatched, and he is the actor in my mind!"
