05 years of a "Crazy Stone" made people remember the 28-year-old Ning Hao, the industry crazy to use 'ghost director' to describe him, why? Director is a compound profession, need to be involved in art, music, photography, etc., for example, director Zhang Yi and director Gu Changwei are from photography, Feng Xiaogang is from director and artist, and short and tight musician (although his works are very bad). Therefore, it takes a long time for directors to learn and precipitate, and they basically gradually show their talents at the age of 40, and the creative maturity period is around 50 years old, and there are even 'old guns' like 'old cowboy' Clint Eastwood who only showed his director's talent at the age of 70. So the 28-year-old director is already amazingly young, not to mention Li Xiang, who is only 21 years old?

At the same time as the crazy roadshow of the crew of "Hurricane Rescue", Optical Fiber received an invitation from "Interview with Yang Lan", and the program team invited Li Xiang to be a guest in "Interview with Yang Lan". Fiber optics looked at the itinerary plan, and the next stop happened to be the magic capital.

What does Yang Lan say? The typical elite class has its own pursuits, which is what we usually call ungrounded. At that time, there were so many "Zhengda Variety Shows" that people said they would leave, and they went directly to the United States to study, and obtained a master's degree in international affairs from the School of International and Public Affairs of Columbia University. After returning to China, he joined Phoenix Channel, and there was the program "Interview with Yang Lan". The positioning of people is a high-end talk TV show. Adhering to the program concept of "recording the spiritual imprint of the times", the host Yang Lan invited elites in various fields such as politics, economy, and culture to sit and discuss. The program strives to travel through the limited time and space of the stormy meeting, and takes the personality strength and social value of the guests as the ultimate presentation of the program.

So it's not surprising that the ratings are dismal. The program team also realized that the previous content was too high-end, so they found Li Xiang, the director of the favorite movie "Hurricane Rescue" among young people nowadays, trying to make "Interview with Yang Lan" attract more mainstream viewers and save the dismal ratings of the show, after all, the program team also has to eat.

Li Xiang also felt very fresh, this was the first time he participated in a talk show, and it was false to say that he was not excited, so he was very well prepared. Yang Lan is a very capable professional woman, giving people the feeling of being rigorous and rational. Li Xiang kept reminding himself that this was not an easy opponent to deal with.

"Hello Li Xiang, I'm Yang Lan, I'm glad you came to participate in "Yang Lan Interview". After a brief greeting with Yang Lan, the interview officially began.

"Thank you, Teacher Yang Lan, I was a loyal fan of "Zhengda Variety Show" when I was a child, and I like your hosting style very much!" Li Xiang came up and first complimented Yang Lan a little, he is indeed a loyal fan of "Zhengda Variety Show", not only the previous program is basically scheduled, but the later movies are also a must-see.

"Thank you for your love, let's talk about you first, can you give us a brief introduction to the audience in front of the TV?" Everyone is willing to listen to good words, and Yang Lan is no exception, but she has not forgotten the process and pulled the topic back.

"Oh okay, my name is Li Xiang, a native of Bincheng, 21 years old this year, graduated from USC film directing major, and the director of the movie "Hurricane Rescue"!" Li Xiang briefly introduced himself.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're only 21 years old this year?" Yang Lan was also frightened by Li Xiang's youth, if Li Xiang didn't say it herself, she would still think that Li Xiang was still a student at school.

"Yes, I started elementary school a year early, skipped two levels, went to the United States at the age of 16, and only came back last summer. ”

"Wow, why did you choose to skip a grade?"

"Because I feel that I am a person who does not fit in with my surroundings, when I was a child, I felt that children of the same age were particularly naïve, and my academic performance was not bad, so I wanted to learn more advanced knowledge as soon as possible, so I had the idea of skipping a grade, and my family also doted on me. "Whoever is a middle-aged person who is reborn as a child cannot adapt to the preferences of children, which is the main reason why Li Xiang chose to skip a grade.

"What inspired you to pursue the path of film directing?"

"When I was a child, my family had a video recorder very early, and my father would rent some early Shaw Brothers martial arts films every day to watch, and at that time I became interested in movies, until I was in elementary school, and the school organized us to watch "True Lies", you also know that it was one of the first Hollywood movies introduced in our country, and after watching it, I was deeply shocked, and since then I have had a great interest in Hollywood genre films, and this emotion is in "Titanic" After the release, it reached its peak, I couldn't wait to go to Hollywood to see how these movies were made, and then through understanding, I learned that most of the behind-the-scenes talents in Hollywood came from USC, so I strengthened my belief in studying abroad, and I also wanted to make movies that shocked the world. ”

"Why don't you choose the New York Film Academy? Our 'Light of the Chinese' director Li Amine is also from the New York Film Academy?" Yang Lan is also a person who likes art films, and she is somewhat scornful of Li Xiang's choice of commercial films.

"I think, it's just that I think that our country has no shortage of directors with superb artistic achievements, the masters of the fifth generation have done a good enough, and what our country lacks is China's 'George Lucas', China's 'Steven Spielberg', China's 'Robert Zemisky', if our country's films want to develop, they can't just rely on literary films, good mature commercial genre films are the foundation to support this market, I dare not say that I can catch up with these masters, but I hope I am on the way to catch up!"

Yang Lan was attracted by the light in Li Xiang's eyes, and it took a long time to come back to her senses and continue to ask: "We all know that the first work of a film director is the most difficult, you are not famous, funds, crew, and scripts are all a problem, how did you solve these?"

"I want to say that I am really lucky to have a family that can help me achieve my dreams and are willing to help me achieve them, and the first film went well, thank you to my parents and all the staff who helped me!"

The two sides have come and gone, and several times Li Xiang almost fell into the trap set by others, but fortunately, Li Xiang was witty enough, and the interview was recorded for an afternoon before it ended. Bidding farewell to Yang Lan and the staff of the interview, Li Xiang rushed to the Demon Capital Theater non-stop, the roadshow of "Hurricane Rescue" Demon Capital Station still needs Li Xiang's participation, and Mr. Yu Rongguang and they have been waiting for a long time.
