Chapter 108: Watching the Movie Again
"Sounds quite interesting!" Teacher He felt that this matter was a bit of a problem just by listening.
"This is just one aspect, the most important thing is that I want to invite you and Sister Na to be the hosts of this show!" This is another reason why Li Xiang told Teacher He about this: "I think the Happy Family is not the upper limit of the two of you, you and Sister Na can do more!"
"If the leader makes a decision, I promise you that the host of this show will definitely be the two of us!" Mr. He also hopes that his hosting ability will be recognized by more people, and this show is his second step.
Li Xiang is not ready to rely on big coffee shows to make money, because this show Feixiang is temporarily incapable of production, and must cooperate with Mango, talent is the biggest problem restricting Feixiang.
Most of the talents in domestic variety shows are concentrated in various David TV, but if the big coffee show can be popular, I believe that more TV stations will come to find them at that time, and it will be much easier to set up their own variety show production team at that time, and there will always be people who don't want to be constrained by TV stations anymore.

The crew was promoting step by step, and Li Xiang returned to the capital alone, because he was going to be interviewed by "Watching a Movie", which was the second interview with Li Xiang by "Watching a Movie".
The first time it was just out of curiosity about the young director, and this time it was completely because of the super high reputation of "The Invisible Guest", and there was no way that "Watching Movies" itself advertised itself as a high-quality magazine.
This time, the reporter is Li Xiang's old acquaintance - Ah Lang, who was just promoted and raised at the end of last year, and the whole person looks less sharp and more calm.
"Director Li, let's meet again!"
"Yes, it's only been three months, thank you for the love of "Watching Movies"! I forgot to say, I am your loyal reader, and I have a subscription to every issue!" This is the truth, Li Xiang is not bad for money in his life, and the covers of each issue of "Watching Movies" are also quite artistic, and they have a high collection value.
"Thank you so much Director Li, we can start?" After the greetings, there was no end, and Ah Lang felt that the time was almost up, so he pulled the topic back on track.
"No problem, let's get started!" It's not a TV interview, there's no need to dress up too deliberately, Li wants to ask the makeup artist to simply put on some foundation, and the interview begins.
"Let's not say those polite words, this time "The Invisible Guest" has a double harvest at the box office, did you expect it?"
"I thought about it, but I didn't expect it to be so good, and I still thank you for the support of the audience!"
"I have also watched this movie of yours three times, it is really exciting, how did you come up with the idea of making such a suspense movie?"
"I like Agatha Christie's novels very much, and I've read all the books of "Grandma", and I like suspense movies very much. โ
"Do you think there are any logical loopholes in the repeated reasoning of The Invisible Guest?"
"There are definitely loopholes in any film, and I can only try to do my best, and of course I want to present a film to the audience that doesn't have this problem, and even if there is, I hope people don't notice. Li Xiang said as he made a gesture that you can't see me, causing the others to laugh.
"This film reminds me of Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon. โ
"Yes, yes, actually. I think sometimes, you don't necessarily have a specific reference in your head, or even don't know if you have one. Indeed, "Rashomon" is also a story about debunking lies and truths, and each truth has its own interests and motives behind it. โ
"The lawyer Fuzhi in the movie uses various psychological techniques and traps to pry open Jiang Chen's mouth, Jiang Chen has reservations from the beginning to the end and admits the truth by himself without care, is Fuzhi's performance a little too witty and powerful throughout the whole process, I can't believe that she is really just an excellent drama actor? This is very different from her side as a weak mother, what do you think of the role of Fuzhi. โ
"It's her specialty. And her character is like this, in order to achieve her goal and put Jiang Chen in prison, she can do anything. I've always liked the role of a lawyer, a bit like Margaret Thatcher in the UK, this is Fuzhi, all the necessary means will be used, and I especially like the female character who is strong inside. โ
"So in the future, you will also shoot movies with big heroines?"
"Yes, and this future will not be long, because this summer I will make a movie with a big heroine, if everything goes well, everyone may see this movie next summer, and I hope everyone will like my new work by then!" Li Xiang made a small commercial for "The Hunger Games".
"Wow, can you tell us more about the details?" Ah Lang was very surprised, and there was an unexpected gain.
"The movie is based on a best-selling American novel, called The Hunger Games, and the genre should be fantasy movies!"
"Are you going to sinicize it?"
"No! I'm going to Hollywood to shoot this movie!"
It's another big news, Ah Lang feels that today is really worth the trip, in addition to the interview, he also got two big news, and excitedly asked: "Are you going to Hollywood to develop?"
"I occasionally go to Hollywood to make films, but mainly in China, after all, my roots are here, and there are some films that only our culture can resonate with. This is also Li Xiang's true thoughts, no matter how round the moon in a foreign country is, it is not his own after all.
To put it bluntly, Ah Lang's interview this time is a full load, not only completed his interview task, but also got two big news, I believe that the sales of "Watching Movies" this time will go further.
"Is it appropriate to release the news so early?" Lao Liu felt that the timing for Li Xiang to reveal the news was wrong.
"It's not early, now let the domestic audience know what kind of movie I want to make, after all, it's going to Hollywood, see what kind of treatment those directors are coming back from Hollywood? Although I don't like this kind of differential treatment, but now I can't change anything, instead of facing possible suppression, I should be anti-guest!"
There are only two ways to get your enemy to give up on you, either you destroy him completely, or you make him desperate in strength.
Li Xiang doesn't want to fight to the death with a group of people in China, so the second way is obviously a good choice.
When your movie is a global hit, there will be a lot less resistance to returning to China, and this is the reason why foreign monks will chant scriptures!
