Chapter Seventy-Six: Interview with Yang Lan
"If you could describe to our audience what kind of film it was in a few words?"
"I think it's a story with a lot of jokes and a lot to think about. ”
Tang Yiyi pondered for a moment and then said.
"What kind of characters appear in this film?"
"A waste green who eats and waits for death, and a... The killer of the winners in life, an executive who has a clear plan for everything..."
"Oh, why do you say it's the killer of the winners in life?"
Yang Lan said curiously.
"Well, you'll understand it when you watch the movie. ”
Tang Yiyi said with a smile.
"From an audience's point of view, I think the most touching thing about a movie is the characters in it, who do you think we are most looking forward to in this movie?"
"Well... I think the three leading actors are actually quite worth looking forward to!"
Tang Yiyi said.
"Can you elaborate on that?"
"That's not going to work, maybe I'm going to spoil what I say!"
“......”
Yang Lan was a little speechless, and then changed the topic.
"We all know that, in fact, many directors will more or less map some of their own experiences or certain feelings to the core characters of the movie, right? ”
"Yes, I admit that there are more or less some, including when I first filmed "Crazy Stone" and "People in Embarrassment", there will actually be some of my experiences and feelings in it. ”
Tang Yiyi nodded.
"For example, the scene about the Spring Festival in "People in Embarrassment" is really something I have personally experienced! When I was in school, I once booked a ticket late, and the plane ticket was gone, so I had to take the train, so when I entered the train station, I saw the scene in front of me, and I was completely stunned! Then I thought, why not make it into a movie? So this movie was born..."
Tang Yiyi said with a smile.
""Crazy Stone", in fact, to put it bluntly, it was inspired by watching "Pulp Fiction" and "Two Big Smoking Guns" in the early years, I was stunned after watching it at the time, I believe that many people thought the same as me at the time, the movie can still be made like this! So, I spent three years polishing this script...
But I see that many people on the Internet say that I am plagiarism, to be honest, I don't understand, it's just the same narrative technique, where do you see that I'm plagiarizing?
"Tell us about the movie 'How to Steal the Key'? To be honest, I'm curious why the movie is called that. ”
"Then all I can say is that when you finish watching the movie, you'll understand why it's called that. ”
Tang Yiyi laughed.
"Actually, the idea I want to express to the audience in "The Way to Steal the Key" is actually very simple, that is, I hope that after watching this movie, everyone can think about what happened to the two male protagonists in it and what happened after the identity was exchanged, so as to be able to change their current lives..."
I think your first work was "The Tuanist", and you won the Golden Bear for Best Short Film at the Berlin Film Festival!"
"To be honest, it was actually quite unexpected, and I didn't expect that I would win the award.
At the beginning, I was filming my graduation work, and I was also a popular figure in the school when I was in school, so I had a lot of fans anyway!
But in fact, it was quite stressful at that time, because you were already very famous!
I still remember that there was only a month left before I handed in the work, but I didn't even write the script, I sat in front of the computer in a daze all day, my mind was blank, and I couldn't sleep with insomnia every night..."
"And what happened to you, how did you come up with this work?"
"Coincidentally, at that time, Tang Tang... That is, my girlfriend asked me out to hang out, saying that I was too stressed to relax and relax, and then I went to eat in a very fancy restaurant, and then there was a guy sitting there playing the piano, and I just sat there and stared at him, and then suddenly I had an inspiration!
Because I was in a hurry, I only had time to tell Tang Tang that I had to go back to write the script and then left, because she ignored me for several days because of this incident, and now I feel sorry for her when I think about it..."
Tang Yiyi said embarrassedly.
"And then?"
"Later, after I finished shooting, I handed in the work, and the teachers and professors in the school said it was very good, and then they encouraged me to go to the film festival and try it, I thought it would be okay, what if I won the award, so I went to the Berlin Film Festival, but I didn't expect to really win the award!
So after winning the award, I called Tang Tang as soon as possible, and quickly shared the news with her, and she was very happy, and then the matter passed like this..."
"Therefore, a large part of the reason for this award comes from Tang Sugar. ”
"No, I should say that this award is hers! If she hadn't dragged me out to play and relax, then I might not have been able to make this work! Not to mention winning the award!"
"Then since we talked about Tang Tang, I'm also quite curious about how the two of you got together in the first place. ”
Again, this familiar question...
So Tang Yiyi repeated what he said when he was going up every day.
"It can be seen that our Tang Dao really loves Tang Tang. ”
"That's for sure, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get married. ”
Tang Yiyi said with a smile.
"Then ask a personal question, when are you going to get married?"
"Wait until she has time! she's still very busy at work this year..."
"Then congratulations on your happy wedding in advance!"
"Thank you!"
"Then let me ask you another question. ”
"You say!"
"Will you continue to write novels in the future?"
"Of course, but I can't say for sure... It shouldn't be possible for at least the next three years!"
"Three years in the future?"
Yang Lan was a little surprised...
"Yes, my work schedule for the next three years is full, this can't be helped, after all, the company has to count on me alone at present, but the few directors we signed are quite talented! I guess I won't have to be so busy in the future..."
"That's really hard..."
"What's so hard about this, work, it's normal!"
"Do you have any plans to go to Hollywood in the future?"
"I don't think there is a lot of room for the development prospects of the mainland market... But I can't say for sure! I'm actually quite interested in science fiction movies! Not to mention anything else, North America is indeed much more mature in terms of special effects than other places! Maybe next year or the year after, I will go there to co-shoot a science fiction movie!"
