Chapter 61: The First Time

"Watching a Movie" is a film magazine launched by Emei Studios, which was a very professional thing about film theory at the beginning, called "Film Works", which is very artistic, but unfortunately it is too niche and cannot be sold at all, so it was revised in 99, "Watching Movies", and the content caters to and meets the needs of fans.

With the theme of the latest foreign movie information, of course, there will also be some inquiries about new domestic movies.

After figuring out the needs of the audience, they began to make profits, and the brand became more and more popular.

"I Love You" has recently caused controversy within the film industry, most of which are criticizing Zhang Yuan, saying that he will not make movies except for banned films!

Of course, more people are paying attention to the confusing relationship between Xu Jinglei and Wang Shuo - this is also the main reason why the box office of "I Love You" exceeded 3 million in the first weekend.

It stands to reason that a film magazine like "Watching Movies", which is not bad, should go to Xu Jinglei for an interview, why did you think of looking for Chen Dong?

This is also Chen Dong's first question with "Watching Movies" reporter Ah Lang.

Ah Lang is the editor-in-chief of the "Primary Colors" column of "Watching Movies", which belongs to the category of character interviews, and the people who appear on this column are generally actors who have already become famous.

"We heard that you were filming "Dream in the Garden" directed by Yang Fan, so..."

It turned out to be stained with the aura of "Garden Nightmare"...

That's right, although Chen Dong starred in "The Family of Gold Powder", the TV series has not yet been broadcast!

……

Ah Lang is one of the editors-in-chief of "Watching Movies", he used to be a screenwriter at Emei Film Factory, and belongs to the theoretical school...

used to be a very typical Chinese filmmaker, an expert who often spoke of Godard and Fellini.

Later, I found out that this thing was not of much interest to readers, and it didn't sell as much as an interview with Liu Xiaoqing!

So, I changed my thinking, and now I mainly do interviews and reviews on films, and occasionally do some overseas reports...

The reason why I came to interview Chen Dong is, of course, because of Chen Yun's public relations...

Secretly stuffed almost 50,000 yuan in red envelopes...

Otherwise, who cares about you, a newcomer in the TV drama industry?

"How did you get the role of 'I Love You'?"

Chen Dong glanced at him and replied: "Audition, Yan Yiyun, the producer of this play, knows me, he called me to audition, Director Zhang Yuan saw me, was very satisfied, and gave me the role!"

"But there are rumors that your character was Wang Xuebin at the beginning, do you know this?"

"Really? I really don't know..."

Chen Dong replied very calmly, not at all like going through the back door...

"Then do you know that the reputation of the movie "I Love You" is not good?"

Is the question so direct?

Chen Dong smiled: "... Everyone has a different opinion on the movie, and the influence of "Addiction" is too deep, Director Zhang Yuan dares to adapt this into a movie, which is a victory in itself!"

Ah Lang looked at Chen Dong seriously, and estimated that he couldn't dig out any breaking news from his mouth...

simply changed the topic: "Then what do you think of Director Zhang Yuan?"

"A very thoughtful director... His gaze always touches the most cutting-edge marginal subjects, and we need directors like that..."

Chen Dong is not stupid enough to tell the truth, he is far away from the exaggeration of flowers...

In fact, so far, among the directors Chen Dong has encountered, the most powerful should be Liu Guoquan...

"Do you know Xu Jinglei?"

"I don't know!"

"What about after the cooperation?"

“… I was on the crew for a day, and I didn't have a chance to get in touch with people!"

"And what do you think of her?"

Chen Dong had an inexplicable feeling, why did he always hold on to Xu Jinglei, but he still routinely praised: "Just beautiful, generous, dignified, intellectual..."

"I heard that you filmed that bed scene with her several times?"

“… Yes, because I haven't filmed a bed scene before, I'm not very skilled..."

Ah Lang wanted to ask, 'So, you mean Xu Jinglei is very skilled in bed scenes?', and he still has 50,000 yuan in his pocket, let him go!

"Tell us about yourself, a lot of viewers are interested in you!"

"Me?" took a sip of the teacup, Chen Dong said: "I was admitted to the acting department of the film academy in 97, and I started acting in TV series after graduation..."

"Why do you want to take the acting department?"

"Or is it because deep down I always wanted to be an actor and had a dream of being an actor... My dad is a film producer, and I have been watching movies since I was a child, so I naturally embarked on the path of acting. After graduating, I filmed my first TV series, called "Bitter Cauliflower"..."

"Is it the work of Mr. Wang Jixing?"

"Yes!"

Wang Jixing, director and deputy director of Emei Film Factory...

The work team of "Watching Movies" magazine itself comes from Emei Film Factory, and Ah Lang knows that this drama is normal.

"Bitter Cauliflower" is a rural anti-Japanese suspense and bitter drama, with various BUGs in the plot...

I heard that it has been sold, but it hasn't been broadcast on the stars so far...

"And then?"

"And then... I went on to act in TV series and made four or five TV series..."

"Then how did you get "Nightmare in the Garden"?"

"My agent told me that he said that Director Yang Fan was going to make a new film, and he won me a chance to audition..."

"And you passed?"

“… It should be Wu Yan's group who took the initiative to give up, so I have the opportunity. ”

How did Chen Dong receive "Dream in the Garden", there are too many things involved behind it!

Chen Yun helped get the filming application of the Humble Administrator's Garden, Chen Dong himself is also proficient in Cantonese, and there is no problem in communication, of course, the main reason is that Wu Yan's group is filming "Mong Kok Dark Night", and there is no schedule...

"Then what do you think is the difference between director Yang Fan and mainland directors?"

"I've only filmed a few directors, and I can't say the difference... I feel that the division of labor in Hong Kong is relatively clear, and the crew is relatively professional, unlike the mainland crew, which is very chaotic..."

Chen Dong didn't dare to say it, in fact, if he wanted to say it, he could say a bunch of things...

For example, Zhang Yuan, this guy has long shots at every turn, and many intense scenes should be switched from close-up, but he is still a long shot...

It's as if the long shot represents that he is more awesome!

"Then can I go to the crew to visit the class?"

“… I can't guarantee this, I'll ask Director Yang Fan!"

……

After staying in the crew of "Garden Nightmare" for a week, Chen Dong finally figured out the source of Wang Guxian's bad feelings towards Rie Miyazawa!

I heard that the main reason why Director Yang Fan persuaded Rie Miyazawa was to promise to let her and her mother go to see Qi Qing together, both of them are Qi Qing's fans...

It just so happened that Wang Guxian broke up with Qi Qing, so I was very unhappy to see my ex-boyfriend's fans...

The aura is not to deal with!

"Director, that is the editor of "Watching Movies" magazine, is it possible to accept his interview?"

"..."Watching a movie"?"

"It is a very popular film magazine in the mainland, selling at least 800,000 copies per issue!"

“… 800,000 copies!"

Yang Fan was surprised...

Think about it, Hong Kong's best-selling film magazine, "Film Fortnightly", has only sold about 50,000 copies...

Decisively put on a smiling face and greeted it.

Even if "Dream in the Garden" can't be released in the mainland, it's good to promote it and sell discs!
