Chapter 207: Interview
September 2012 was a turbulent month for the Dixing entertainment industry.
During this month, a lot of big things happened that affected the whole world.
First of all, Chen Yongren's "The Martian" topped the world film history and once again refreshed the box office record, Chen Yongren once again proved to the people of Earth Star that he is the king of the world!
Secondly, it is the film reform of the United States, the perverted box office of "The Martian" frightened the filmmakers of the United States, in order to protect local films, they finally chose to restrict Chen Yongren, and launched the film protection bill, although many fans and theater owners opposed this bill, but with the support of the bigwigs, this bill was still implemented.
The day after the passage of the local film protection law in the United States, Chen Yongren urgently convened a conference of Chinese directors, and finally jointly wrote to the Film Bureau, suggesting the introduction of a local Chinese film protection law.
This time, the United States Directors Association was taken aback, they used various methods to prevent the introduction of the Huaxia Film Protection Law, but they obviously overestimated their strength, and finally the Huaxia Film Protection Law will be officially implemented on October 1, the content is similar to the local film protection law of the United States, but it is more ruthless than it in some details.
Almost every major event is related to Chen Yongren, therefore, Chen Yongren's name has spread all over the world again, and has entered the eyes of countless ordinary people, and everyone knows that there is a cattle man in China.
September 2012 passed, and as the time entered October, fans around the world focused on new releases.
But with the introduction of local film protection laws by the two major countries one after another, it has also led to a bunch of movies complaining.
"The Shawshank Redemption" has also been officially released worldwide, and the final box office stopped at 2.8 billion US dollars, ranking second in the global annual box office in 2012, the horror is not his box office, but its score is still strong at 9.9 points, and the number of ratings has exceeded 100 million, "The Shawshank Redemption" has not only become the highest-rated film in the history of world cinema, but also the highest-rated movie, and has also set many records.
The disturbances from the outside world did not have any impact on the filming of "The Avengers", and the movie was still being filmed in an orderly manner.
In the blink of an eye, in mid-October, between shooting, Chen Yongren received a call from his assistant.
"Hey, it's me. Chen Yongren said.
"Boss, there's one thing I need to ask for your consent for. On the other end of the phone, Zheng Tong's voice rang.
"What's the matter?" Chen Yongren immediately asked.
"That's right, there's someone from Time Magazine, and I want to have an interview with you, this time it's Mr. Meredith, the president of Time Magazine. Zheng Tong said.
"Time Magazine wants to interview me, or is their president coming in person. Hearing the news, Chen Yongren was a little stunned, "Time Magazine" actually wanted to interview him again several times, but Chen Yongren has not had much time, but he didn't expect that this time it was their president who came out in person, which is quite fresh.
"Yes, boss, how are we going to reply?" Zheng Tong asked.
"Okay, promise. Chen Yongren thought about it and said directly.
After all, this is an exclusive interview with Time Magazine, not to mention the influence that others have, just the president came to interview in person, which is very sincere, and it will be a bit too much to say if he refuses again.
"Yes, boss. Zheng Tong replied.
"Is there anything else?" Chen Yongren continued.
"Boss, Mr. Meredith will probably arrive tomorrow, and he would like to be given the exact time of the interview. Zheng Tong said.
"Then what does he mean over there?" asked Chen Yongren.
"Time Magazine wants to conduct an hour-long interview with you at 3 p.m. tomorrow at a location of your choosing. Zheng Tong said.
"Tomorrow afternoon, okay, then let's settle it like this, and the location will be arranged at the Longteng Hotel." Chen Yongren said.
………
Chen Yongren is also very curious about this interview with Time Magazine, or the president will visit in person, but if he can't think of it, he won't think about it, and he will know Meredith's purpose tomorrow afternoon.
Time passed quickly, and the next afternoon, it was not long in coming.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Longteng Hotel is located in Longteng Film and Television City.
Chen Yongren sat opposite Meredith, the president of Time Magazine, and beside them, there were several Time Magazine staff members.
"Hello, Mr. Meredith, I've admired my name for a long time. As soon as they met, Chen Yongren gave Meredith a big hug.
"Haha, Mr. Chen Yongren, this sentence should be said by me. Meredith laughed, "I've admired your name for a long time. ”
Chen Yongren and Meredith glanced at each other and burst into hearty laughter.
After some politeness, the two quickly got to the point.
"I don't know what Mr. Meredith is looking for me?" asked Chen Yongren, after all, the interview is the host's business, and he is not needed as the president.
"That's right, we at Time are going to do an interview with you, and at the same time, we're going to have you featured on the cover of this year's global edition. Meredith replied.
"Oh? Cover Person of the Year. Hearing Meredith's words, Chen Yongren said.
"Yes, it's Time Magazine's Global Cover Person of the Year, and considering you're very busy at the end of the year, we came here in advance for an interview, and of course I know you're very busy right now. Meredith laughed.
After chatting for a few words, the two entered the interview session, the cover character of the year, which is still a little attractive to Chen Yongren.
In one room, two people sit opposite each other.
"Mr. Chen Yongren, first of all, thank you for your interview with Time Magazine. Meredith said politely.
"It's an honor for me to be interviewed by such a high-profile media as Time Magazine. Chen Yongren said with a smile.
In his words, he also gave Time Magazine a lot of face.
Meredith heard Chen Yongren's words, and showed a very happy expression, no matter what, people have praised you, of course your mood is very good.
"Mr. Chan, this time our interview is about movies, can you share with us the story behind the creation of "The Shawshank Redemption", and why is "The Shawshank Redemption" so highly rated?" Meredith asked.
Then the two went straight to the point, and started a conversation around several topics such as movies and the Film Protection Act, which was originally an hour-long interview, but it turned out to be more than two hours, and the two talked happily.
Finally, after asking Chen Yongren a few questions about the "Avengers" he was filming, he arranged a few photos for Chen Yongren, and the interview was officially over, and Meredith and the others left.
This interview is also over, and Chen Yongren will appear on the annual cover of Time Magazine at the end of the year.
Chan will also be the first celebrity to appear on the cover of Time Magazine's global edition of the year......... Take a look at the latest chapter of "The Legend of China Entertainment: Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
