Chapter 146: Interview with reporters
The premiere in the Xiangsha City Auditorium is a kind of flowery celebration, and media reporters are very interested in Zhou Bai, the leading actor, and after the film screening, the cameras have focused on Zhou Bai and asked many questions.
However, unlike some tabloids, they are mainstream media and do not ask painful questions, mainly focusing on the filming process of the movie and some behind-the-scenes interesting facts about the movie.
After watching the movie, many people have a clear understanding of Zhou Bai's performance, "National Anthem" may not be that kind of classic film in terms of quality, but Zhou Bai's performance still deeply attracts them, they are infected by Zhou Bai's performance, and even some reporters were moved to tears in the last scene of the movie.
Zhou Bai's dress today is very different from that in the movie, the current Zhou Bai is a sunny and handsome young man, Zhou Bai in the movie is quite old, at first glance, he is the kind of mature man who has experienced vicissitudes, this comparison alone shocked the reporter.
When watching the movie, they were completely attracted by Zhou Bai's performance, and they didn't feel that there was a trace of drama, and after the movie ended, compared with Zhou Bai himself, the contrast was very strong, and after understanding Zhou Bai's age, it made them feel a little incredible.
This contrast can also explain the success of Zhou Bai's performance in "National Anthem", many of them are movie lovers, or they are engaged in film criticism, knowing that Zhou Bai was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award with "National Anthem", after watching the movie, they feel that it may not be impossible to win the award.
"Hello Zhou Bai, I am a reporter from "Shonan Daily", we know that you were also nominated for Best Actor with your wonderful performance in "National Anthem", are you confident of winning the award?" a reporter asked.
"In fact, to be honest, "National Anthem" is my first time as the leading actor, and I am very encouraged to be nominated for the Golden Rooster Award, but I really don't have much confidence in winning the award, Mr. Teng Rujun and Mr. Wang Chengren are both good actors with rich performance experience, and I am under too much pressure to compete with them for the best actor. Zhou Bai said with a smile, at this time, he definitely couldn't be hot-headed and said I think I can, so is it okay for you to treat the two seniors as nothing?
"Hello Zhou Bai, you are still studying in Chinese opera, right? Dare to choose the role of Tian Han to perform, is it stressful?" A reporter asked, in fact, he could ask more exciting questions, such as whether you can get this role because you know the director or a certain leader, but on this occasion, asking this kind of question will make a certain leader unhappy every minute, maybe he will be laid off directly tomorrow.
"I am twenty-two years old this year, and there is a 12-year difference between me and the role of Mr. Tian Han, the age gap is very large, I didn't have much confidence at first, but the director and producer thought I was suitable, so I had to bite the bullet. ”
"With the understanding of the script, the role is getting deeper and deeper, and the play is getting deeper and deeper, so I forgot about it, and now looking back, I still feel pressure, so I want to thank Director Wu Ziniu and Mr. Kang Jianlian, as well as the strong support of the leaders, if it weren't for them to withstand the pressure, I don't think I would be able to devote myself to the performance, after all, the gap is really big. Zhou Bai said with a smile.
"Hello Zhou Bai, in addition to "National Anthem", your debut film "My Father and Mother" will also be released in ten days, how do you evaluate the comparison of the two films?
Zhou Bai looked at the reporter with a smile, buddy, are you really good like this, or can't help but set me up, saying that you are happy?
"I have participated in both films, I also have a deep affection for these two films, director Zhang Yimou and director Wu Ziniu are both directors with high artistic achievements, they can find me to act in the movie, it is to promote the younger generations, they have given me a lot of guidance during the filming process, really special thanks to them. ”
"I think if I evaluate these two movies, it may be very personal, not necessarily accurate, I personally think these two movies are good movies, they have different themes, but they are both good movies, they are both wonderful, and I hope the audience can support them a lot. Zhou Bai smiled, and did not take the call from the front, but bypassed it from the side.
If you talk about artistic achievements, of course Zhou Bai knows that "My Father and Mother" is higher than "National Anthem", but the two themselves are different, and the genre is not the same, "National Anthem" is the main theme film, and "My Father and Mother" is a literary film.
"National Anthem" is essentially patriotic feelings, showing the artist's magnificent life experience, and the turbulent situation of the country, plus it is a tribute film, and the scale will be reserved, it can only be said to be a good movie.
Compared with some other main theme movies, "National Anthem" is good, and the overall quality is also excellent, maybe not as good as "My Father and Mother", but it is definitely not a bad movie.
Zhou Bai feels that the overall quality of "National Anthem" is very good, not up to the classics, but it is an attractive movie, with high quality in terms of expression and lens language, more emphasis on drama, and the plot conflict is not blunt, and it should have a certain performance at the box office.
The reason is very simple, "National Anthem" is down-to-earth, not cold, the plot is quite exciting, there are many places that meet the scenes that the audience likes, and the box office will not particularly hit the streets.
"My Father and Mother" is Zhang Yimou's movie, and now Zhou Bai has not seen the movie, and he can only see it at the premiere on the 16th, but according to Lao Mouzi's level, coupled with Zhou Bai's understanding on the phone, Lao Mouzi is very satisfied with the movie, and he made the poetry he wanted, so Zhou Bai is very optimistic about this movie.
Lao Mouzi's storytelling this time is no longer the kind of very cold way, "My Father and Mother" has nothing to sell badly, and there are not many plot conflicts, it is definitely Lao Mouzi's ability to make a good movie within this framework.
If you want to shoot a story with no conflict and a gentle plot, which is both artistic and attractive to the audience, it takes a lot of skills, and the use of montage shots and storytelling methods are very important, and a little out of control or carelessness will make the movie a boring and boring bad movie.
The reporter was not disappointed when he saw that Zhou Bai was not in the trap, he saw that Zhou Bai was young and wanted to create a topic that was not big or small, since Zhou Bai had avoided it, it was not good for him to continue to play the trick, otherwise it would be too obvious.
Wu Ziniu was very satisfied with Zhou Bai's answer, just now he was a little afraid that Zhou Bai would not be able to see through this reporter's intentions, people are easy to say the wrong thing on this occasion, and it would be bad if he created a topic.
The reporter asked some interesting things about the filming, and in general, the atmosphere was still very harmonious, and some leaders who attended the premiere also spoke highly of the film, and despite some small episodes, the premiere ended smoothly.
