728 Friendliness

The reporter asked Xiang Leila again: "Why do you think that an oriental actor is suitable for playing a role in that work?"

"I don't think there's a why. Leila gave an example: "If you look at Picasso's abstract paintings, the nose and eyes are where they should be? When a director uses the word 'suitable' to watch his films, it means that his mind has been shackled. In this case, even if the work is shot, it will be a qualified work at most, not a work that breaks the limit. ”

The reporter listened to it unconsciously, and it seemed that it was really the case. How else to say that there is such a genius director in film history? Her thinking is not comparable to other directors.

He didn't know that Leila was fooling at all. What is suitable and what breakthrough is all that sounds very powerful, but in fact, only she knows what is going on. She is lucky that no one can expose her words, because in the eyes of others, what she says is very reasonable, when she can understand, when she can become a big director.

This interview mainly revolves around Zhang Guorong, and the reporter revolves around him after being fooled by Leila and unable to find the south, south, west, and northwest.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think is the difference between the East and the West in terms of film production?"

"A lot. There are institutional problems, but also problems of experience and investment. On our side, it's unlikely that we'll be able to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to make a movie at once. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Guorong smiled, with some helplessness. Only when there is money to be made will someone invest, and only with investment can the film be made better, and only then can there be funds to develop various technologies. However, the current Oriental films have not been able to make much profit for the time being, which makes it impossible to shoot movies with large investment productions.

But Hollywood is different, not to mention that Leila invested more than 300 million yuan to shoot "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" this time, just look at several other large film companies, which one of them has not taken out one or two hundred million funds, and produced one after another?

If you want to make a good movie, you must first ensure that there is a profit. How many excellent films were made during the golden age of Hong Kong cinema? The whole of Asia was fascinated by Hong Kong films and actors. At that time, there was a lot of money invested in movies, and it was easy to make good movies.

"In your mind, what kind of image is Director Moran?" the reporter asked a question that had nothing to do with the movie.

Zhang Guorong smiled warmly: "She is a very serious director. You can never associate her with her on the set. ”

"Someone once said she was a tyrant on the set, do you think so?"

Zhang Guorong glanced at Leila with a strange expression, saw her shrug her shoulders, and couldn't help but chuckle: "I don't think it should be counted." If you want to lead a large crew, if you don't have a good job, you can't control it at all. If a director can't even control the crew, how can he make a good movie?"

After the interview, the reporter and Zhang Guorong shook hands seriously: "Mr. Zhang, although I am not an entertainment reporter, I think you can definitely go out of your own way." ”

In just a short interview time, he was deeply impressed by this actor from the East. He kind of understood why Leila chose such an Oriental for her films, and this Oriental man's words and his opinions were very admirable. I believe that under the direction of Leila, he will have a great star path.

"Thank you. Zhang Guorong smiled and accepted his kindness.

If you don't come to the United States, you won't be able to understand the difficulties of Orientals. Fortunately, there are many Americans with good intentions, such as Leila, like those in the crew, and like the reporters in front of you.

Hong Kong is also a person who is rich in paparazzi culture, and he can be said to be a person who has broken through in the chase, so when a question is asked, it is easy for him to distinguish whether it is good or full of malice. Some of the reporter's questions may sound sharp, but they are all friendly questions that will make readers feel good about them after reading them.

After the reporter left, Leila asked Demi to bring tea.

"Tired?" An hour and a half of an interview is not too long, nor is it by any means short. Leila was really afraid of tiring up her idol.

"It's okay, I'm used to it. Zhang Guorong took a sip of tea and moistened his throat. When the tea was imported, he realized that it was the tea he liked, and he couldn't help but have a better impression of Leila.

Seeing the idol drink the tea specially prepared by herself, Leila's heart is also extremely happy: "There will be some similar interviews in the future, and if you don't mind, we can also arrange some TV shows." Dongfang didn't say a talk show, she didn't know if he could adapt to that kind of occasion, so there was no arrangement for the time being.

"No problem, what needs to be done by me, just tell me. Zhang Guorong responded, and then asked: "About the boycott......

"What's that?" Leila's expression was regretful, "I can't make trouble for the time being." ”

"......" Zhang Guorong was a little confused. Isn't it a good thing that you can't make trouble? How do you look so lost?

Seeing his doubts, Leila sighed: "The main thing is that it was too early, if it can be made until a week or two before the release, then it can have the best hype effect." Now there is still more than a month, and by the time it is released, I am afraid that people have forgotten that there is still a boycott of our movie. ”

Zhang Guorong felt that their thoughts might not be on the same channel, otherwise why could her words be understood in a single word, and the combination was so subtle?

However, he didn't think about it further, and just thought it was a very common thing on the American side. So he said, "What then?"

"What else can I do? Publicity, publicity, publicity. "I can't count on the propaganda that doesn't cost money for the time being, and I can only try to throw money into it. "Next the cast of our crew is going to start a world tour, you will be in charge of Asia first, Roy will follow me from the United States, and finally to Asia to meet you. ”

After thinking about it, she added: "I didn't let you join the propaganda here, not because you are an Oriental, but because I have other arrangements." When the premiere on the eastern side is over, I hope you can come back with the crew and go to a couple of shows. ”

"I see. Zhang Guorong could see that her words were not deliberately prevaricating, so he agreed with a smile.

When he had previously arranged the propaganda mission, the people around him did have some discomfort when they saw that he had not been assigned to participate in Western propaganda activities. They think that the people here look down on them, or they dislike their Oriental identity. However, since Leila has specially explained this, I believe she does have other arrangements.
