The warm applause lasted for a long time, and the main creators bowed and thanked on the stage, and then began to ask questions.

A lot of people are journalists, so I want to be a press conference.

In addition to the discussion of the movie, the reporters who asked the questions paid the most attention to the creative inspiration of Chen Shi and Li Yalian, and what was the driving force for their creation.

The first to answer was Chen Shi, as soon as the reporter finished speaking, he laughed and said: "I never thought of making a movie, especially martial arts films, and now there are many martial arts films on the market, including directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and there are also many who are preparing to shoot martial arts films. ”

The reporter asked: "Then how did you come up with the idea of making a martial arts movie?"

Chen Shi looked at Li Yalian with a smile and said: "Because of her, I didn't know anything about Gu Long, but after I met my wife, I learned a little bit, and then because I was bored, I helped my wife write the script together, and I became interested in the way of creation, and it was also to help my wife realize her dream, because she always wanted to put Gu Long's novels on the big screen, so she officially joined her creative team." ”

The reporter suddenly felt that there was a lot of material to report, and he was overjoyed, and asked Li Yalian: "How did you come up with the idea of putting Gu Long's novel on the big screen? You also know that Gu Long's novel is very abstract, the artistic conception is very profound, and it is very difficult to achieve film and television. ”

Li Yalian smiled confidently and said: "First of all, I am a fan of Gu Long, I like Gu Long's novels very much, of course, I want to make his novels into movies, this is undoubtedly the first reason, secondly, I have a dream of becoming a director, so I changed Gu Long novels by the way, at first I just wanted to give it a try, see how my screenwriting ability is, and practice by the way, and then my husband joined, and before I knew it, it was done." ”

Li Yalian really didn't think about today, although she had a dream, she never thought that her dream would come true one day, all this, if it wasn't for Chen Shi's help, if it wasn't for Chen Shi's encouragement, she wouldn't have walked half the distance at all.

The reporter turned to Chen Shi and asked, "In this way, this movie is completely an unintentional work of your husband and wife, created unintentionally?"

Chen Shi nodded and affirmed: "That's right, a movie like this usually doesn't invest in anyone, for this reason, I set up a film and television company, Li Yalian She first went to the company to exercise, started as a camera assistant, first filmed a TV series, and accumulated a certain amount of experience before starting filming." ”

The reporter immediately dug up the news, and you can imagine how sensational the headline in tomorrow's newspaper headline will be. For example, in order to support his wife in filming, a film and television company was set up, which is enough to attract attention, and now, reporters have not thought of a very eye-catching title, however, this is not the point, the point is that today's material is really enough.

Of course, the reporter did not let everyone go, and continued to ask, their questions were first about Chen Shi and Li Yalian, and then transferred to the crew and talked about the movie itself.

Of course, when it comes to performance, as soon as the reporter talks about stars, he immediately comes to a question of sowing discord, he asks: "Which of the two directors recognizes the performance the most?"

This question is prickly, if you answer so-and-so, then you have offended so-and-so, and the reporter is likely to say that the director values so-and-so the most, and does not like so-and-so, etc., you know, the ability of journalists to reverse black and white is definitely no worse than that of lawyers.

Even if the reporter doesn't say it, no one can guarantee that the actors don't have crooked thoughts, maybe people misunderstand what you mean and think that you don't like him to say this.

Chen Shi could hear the trap inside, but Li Yalian didn't know, she was about to answer, but Chen Shi took the lead and said: " Every actor is very good, our casting criteria is to see who is suitable or not, whether this is suitable depends on his appearance and the degree of compliance with the protagonist, the difference between people's appearance is very large, therefore, even if the acting skills are very good, they may not be suitable for all the roles, for example, if you let a Andy Lau play a dwarf role, he is not suitable, not that he can't play well, but he is not suitable, I have a more suitable candidate than him, of course, you have to choose a more suitable person. ”

The reporter was obviously disappointed, and then asked: "As far as I know, the reputation of every actor in this movie is not too big, how did you choose them? Haven't you ever thought about finding an actor with a greater reputation? For example, actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, many directors are now matched like this, actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, actresses and directors from the mainland, why are you looking for all of them from the mainland?"

This is another problem with a trap, if Chen Shi doesn't pay attention and says something excessive, then he will offend Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, for example, if he says that Hong Kong and Taiwan actors are not suitable, then reporters may report that he attacked Hong Kong and Taiwan actors.

He smiled slightly, and said confidently: "First of all, I am from the mainland, I have no business in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and I don't know the actors in Hong Kong and Taiwan, let alone cooperate with an entertainment company in Hong Kong and Taiwan, because I am a newcomer in this industry, and it is estimated that I may not get a reply when looking for someone, so I didn't look for it, of course, the most important point is that our mainland actors are not bad, especially male actors." ”

The reporter stared at Chen Shi tightly, and Chen Shi continued: " Mainland actors, especially the younger generation, if you don't give them a chance to get ahead, no one to support, no one to give them the opportunity to film, then, in a few years, all you see are actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, don't think about the mainland, I'm not provoking the relationship between the two places, I'm talking about the truth, whether it's the mainland, or Hong Kong and Taiwan, everyone can make a fortune together, in recent years, Hong Kong and Taiwan actors have gone north to film, and many of our mainland actors have been affected, I don't want this impact to be bad, I hope this impact is positive, positive, and will help the exchanges between the two places and promote the prosperity and development of films。 ”

After talking a lot of nonsense, Chen Shi's mouth was dry, and after taking a sip of water, he continued: "I noticed that many directors study "Hero" The way of matching actors, looking for actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, using mainland actresses, plus one or two Hong Kong and Taiwan actresses, this way is not bad, every director has his own requirements and standards for filming, I undoubtedly evaluate the standards of a certain director, what I want to say is that if everyone is like this, they are all Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, mainland actresses, or, all Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, then, the consequences can be imagined, how can mainland actors come out?"

Now in the market, many actors learn the hero model, but this model is not a mature model, just a moment, the choice of capital, this is a short-sighted behavior, if you don't train actors, you go outside to find it, how can it last long?

In fact, there is a fault line between Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, and the vitality of male actors is longer than that of female actors, so most of the actresses in Hong Kong and Taiwan have stopped filming before mainland actresses have risen, and the best actress in the Hong Kong and Taiwan Academy Awards for several years has been taken away by mainland actresses.

Chen Shi knows that it will take a long time for mainland actors to grow up, and it will be almost the same after 10 years, when Deng Chao's group of actors Cai really came out, not only had appeal at the box office, but also won many successes in acting.

And the actors of Hong Kong and Taiwan, except for the older generation, and the same generation as the Four Heavenly Kings, can be said to have no successors, there were originally a few good seedlings, but a nude photos incident ruined many people, and now there has been no nude photos door, therefore, Hong Kong and Taiwan actors and actresses have many years ago.

The reporter got a satisfactory answer, and then asked some questions to the other actors, and finally let everyone go, and then Chen Shi and others had a brief exchange with the audience, asking them what they thought of the movie, and finally ended.

The next day, the reviews of the movie came out, Chen Shi bought several newspapers and looked at them, and found that the reporters were very good, most of them gave high ratings, completely one-sided praise, it can be said that their premiere was very successful.

It is estimated that now that the domestic media has exploded, Chen Shi and Li Yalian, two newcomers who came out of nowhere, actually killed Cannes all of a sudden, which is shocking.

The important thing is that the reputation of the movie is actually not bad, although there are many movies that can be unanimously recognized by the media, but there are definitely not so many.

The word-of-mouth was one-sided, of course Chen Shi and Li Yalian were happy, and the others were also very happy, Chen Shi took this opportunity to invite everyone to have a big meal, and it was regarded as a celebration banquet, and everyone did not shirk it, and slaughtered him fiercely.

As soon as word of mouth spread, Chen Shi basically had nothing to do, Xiao Gao was busy with contacting the filmmaker, he didn't need to interfere, he just waited for the closing ceremony, and he didn't know if he could win an award, even if it was a consolation prize, at least, this is Cannes.

After the premiere, the closing ceremony has not yet arrived, a few actors are leaving, and Chen Shi has not retained, they all have their own things, it is impossible to spend here, even if the awards are not their share, therefore, it is normal for them to go.

Chen Shi gave them the tickets to go back, sent them to the airport, and watched the plane take off before coming back, and then left four or five people, and the hotel also returned several rooms.

Xiao Gao also brought good news, saying that someone had seen a movie and wanted to buy the distribution rights in Europe and the United States, Chen Shi was very happy, let him make his own ideas, Xiao Gao was already familiar with business, and he didn't need Chen Shi to explain, he could do things well and ensure that there would be no mistakes.
