Chapter 406: The Revelation Behind the Movie
After staying in Xiangjiang for less than two days, Lin Xiaoguang led the main creators of "Those Years" to Moss Bei, and Huang Zhonglei, president of Huayi, attended and cheered in Ximending, which also marked the end of the tour roadshow.
In less than two months, the movie "Those Years" went from the capital to Xiangjiang, and then from Xiangjiang to Mosbei.
This is definitely an unexpected result for everyone, Jing Boran and Cheng Yanxi have become popular fried chicken in the entertainment industry with their performances in the movie, and almost everywhere they go, they are surrounded by fans.
After the roadshow in Mosbei, Jing Boran and Cheng Yanxi didn't even have time to rest, as soon as the front foot entered the hotel, the back foot came to the TV station and magazine reporters to make a special trip to interview.
In contrast, Lin Xiaoguang, the film director, seems a little bleak and lonely, although there are also local reporters who want to interview him, but because the recent period is too tossed, Lin Xiaoguang politely declined their appointment, and instead went to Huang Zhonglei's room to visit the door, and talked about life and future with the company's boss by the way.
Of course, Lin Xiaoguang is not unbalanced about the situation where Cheng Yanxi and Jing Boran's starlight overshadows him, because the more popular Jing Boran and Cheng Yanxi are, the higher the box office of "Those Years" will be, which is what Lin Xiaoguang wants to see the most.
In other words, the person who came to the hotel to interview Cheng Yanxi this time was Ah Xin, a female reporter from Moss Bend Charm Magazine.
After all, both parties are moss-bent people, Cheng Yanxi and female reporter A Xin are fellow countrymen, and fellow villagers naturally have to greet each other politely when they meet, and then they start to get into the main topic of the interview.
After taking a seat, Ah Xin took the prepared question board and began to interview Cheng Yanxi with a voice recorder: "When filming, did you not expect this movie to respond so well across the Taiwan Strait and three places?"
Cheng Yanxi shook her head slightly: "I've seen the book Nine Knives before, but I didn't expect that Director Lin Xiaoguang's response to making him into a movie would be so good, all of this has exceeded my imagination." ”
Ah Xin then asked: "Is there a big personality contrast between yourself and the character of "Shen Jiayi"?"
Chen Yanxi pondered for a moment, and said, "There are similarities, and there are differences. The similarities are: Shen Jiayi is a good student with good homework, and I am also very good at reading when I was in school. But Shen Jiayi must be the first in the school, study hard every day, I am not as rigorous as her, I usually go out to play, but I will prepare hard before the exam, as long as I get the top three, I will be very happy. ”
Ah Xin asked with great interest: "Then do you have the feeling that you have become popular overnight and are particularly concerned?"
Cheng Yanxi smiled and nodded: "Yes, now no matter where I go, many people will recognize me and ask me to sign it." ”
Ah Xin asked ambiguously: "Will there be a little pride in my heart, but a little trouble?"
Cheng Yanxi said with certainty: "Of course I'm very happy, because a character is liked by everyone and wants to take pictures with you, which is very happy." It's not bothered...... For me, people want to take pictures of you and sign autographs because they like you. Just take a little time to take pictures with them to make them happy, and it will make you happy. ”
“……”
On this side, Cheng Yanxi and Jing Boran were being interviewed by reporters accompanied by the staff, and on the other side, Lin Xiaoguang and Huang Zhonglei had a few drinks behind closed doors.
If it weren't for Lin Xiaoguang's physical and mental exhaustion and he didn't want to go out for a walk, Huang Zhonglei would have gone out to find his sisters by now, so how could he be bored drinking in the room.
In other words, compared with Xiangjiang, Huang Zhonglei obviously prefers moss bend.
In fact, there is no special reason, purely because the quality of the girls here in Xiangjiang is not as good as the generation, almost to the point where they can't look directly, while the girls on the moss bend are much fresher.
No matter how brilliant the past was, Xiangjiang is a small place after all, looking at the entire Xiangjiang, almost all the Xiangjiang female stars who are still active in this circle are in their thirties or even early fifties, no wonder Huang Zhonglei was so bored with his previous trip to Xiangjiang.
Strictly speaking, in fact, since 2000, Xiangjiang has not had a single star, whether it is a male star or a female star, there is really no one......
In the luxurious Presidential Suite.
Huang Zhonglei crossed Erlang's legs, sat on the sofa, touched Lin Xiaoguang with a red wine glass, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Xiaoguang, I just received the news that the box office of the movie in Xiangjiang has exceeded 7 million. ”
Lin Xiaoguang took a sip of wine and said disappreciably: "It's only 7 million on the third day of its release, what's the big deal." ”
It's probably natural to get used to it, since "Those Years" broke 100 million at the box office in the mainland, Lin Xiaoguang's feeling about the box office has been relatively weak in the past two days, and he has completely lost the excitement and excitement at the beginning.
Not to mention a mere 7 million box office, even 10 million box office, Lin Xiaoguang just felt okay, without too much emotional touch.
Huang Zhonglei put down his wine glass, looked at Lin Xiaoguang puzzled, and said angrily: "7 million is not great? Do you know how many movies in Hong Kong can reach 7 million at the box office a year?"
Lin Xiaoguang lit a cigarette to himself, and said faintly: "How many are there, are there ten?"
"Almost, at most a dozen. ”
"However, those are basically Hong Kong films, and our domestic film is a serious domestic movie, so the meaning in this is different. ”
"Do you think, for so many years, basically no domestic movie has sold well in Xiangjiang and Moss Bend, do you know why?"
Lin Xiaoguang understood the meaning of Huang Zhonglei's words, but to be honest, he really didn't know what the reason was.
In the past few years, it seems that mainland films have fallen into a dead end, either commercial costume blockbusters that have been scolded miserably with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, or money-losing literary films that cannot be released but can win awards abroad.
Therefore, as soon as he was free in the past few days, Lin Xiaoguang was seriously thinking about why "Those Years" could be successful across the Taiwan Strait and three places, but "People in Embarrassment" couldn't.
"Brother Zhonglei, why is it?" Lin Xiaoguang stared at Huang Zhonglei with interest, hoping that he could give a better answer.
Huang Zhonglei took a sip of dead wine and said slowly: "Xiaoguang, we might as well look back at the 'failure' of Hong Kong films in recent years from the 'success' of "Those Years", I think the main reason is that most of the writers and directors only know how to make films, calculate star effect, calculate cost, calculate head, and calculate market ...... But there is no way to start from the 'heart' like you and make a film that is loyal to yourself, to your feelings, and to your sincerity!
"Xiaoguang, Brother Zhonglei will tell you the truth, the success of your two movies "Those Years" and "People in Embarrassment" has given me a great inspiration, and I know now that this kind of 'loyalty' is the most valuable!"
