Chapter 376 on the show
In the United States, like that time when she went to FOX to record a show, if there was no high-level to greet her, she wouldn't even enter the door. But here it was different, no one cared about her grandfather's identity, and no one cared about the Moran group behind her. Anyway, it is a foreign media group, and no matter how good it is, it can't have any impact on the country.
So in the East, what attracts the most attention from Leila is her status as a great Hollywood director.
Wu Mo led her upstairs and introduced some information about the TV station to her, and by the way, he also introduced the content of the program.
"This show is mainly about talking about some topics with the guests. In a moment, they will show you the list of issues that will be mentioned in the program, and if there is anything they don't want to be mentioned, you can tell them in advance. In addition, if you have anything you would like to see on the show, you can also talk to them. ”
has also appeared on a lot of shows in the United States, and Leila still knows something about it, and she knows that for the sake of being a "foreigner", the host and the program team will not be too themselves. And the programs of national television are not as entertaining as those in foreign countries, which is probably to ask some questions about movies and about themselves.
When she arrived at the studio, Leila met the director and host of the program team. The host Wang Tao was quite famous in his previous life, and the show was very popular with the audience. The style of hosting the show belongs to the more emotional and warm kind, and he will not ask some questions that are too much.
"This is a topic that will be discussed in a moment, and Director Moran can see if there is anything inappropriate. "I probably already knew that Leila's Chinese was very good, and he also spoke Chinese in one mouth.
Leila looked at it at a glance: "No problem, much more accommodating than the problems I encountered abroad." ”
This was the truth, but it made everyone next to him laugh.
"We've found on the Internet that director Moran has been on before, and maybe our style is different, but I hope you can feel at home as you are. ”
Leila smiled and nodded, "Thank you, I think we're going to have a very happy show time." Also, just call me Leila. ”
Wang Tao was no longer polite, and smiled heartily: "Leila." Welcome to CTV. ”
Soon, the recording of the show officially began.
Leila and Wang Tao sat on either side of the small round table.
"Dear audience friends, today we have a special guest, Leila Moran from Hollywood, USA. Wang Tao introduced Leila to the camera. In fact, what he said has been described in more detail in the recent media, but in order for more audiences to understand her, some brief introductions are still necessary.
"Layla, this is your first time in the Eastern Realm, isn't it?"
Leila smiled and nodded, "Yes." ”
"The first time you came, how did you feel about the East?"
Having been an Oriental for thirty years in her previous life, Leila naturally knows what the audience likes: "The East is a wonderful country. I went to the Great Wall and the Forbidden City in the past few days, and everything I saw was so beautiful. ”
Wang Tao smiled: "So what impressed you the most?"
Leila deliberately thought for a few seconds before she said, "It should be Oriental food." Actually, my grandmother is also an Oriental, and she would cook delicious oriental food for me since I was a child. So when I came here, I tasted a lot of things she introduced, such as tofu brain, and roast duck. ”
Wang Taole said: "Then you are in the right place, the eight major cuisines of the Orient are enough for you to eat until the next century." ”
After chatting for a while, the two finally got to the point.
"Leila, you are a well-known director in Hollywood, I wonder if you know anything about Oriental movies?"
"It may be an exaggeration to say that you know. Leila knew she couldn't go too far on TV: "But I have some Oriental movies that I really like." ”
Wang Tao asked with great interest, "What are they?"
"For example, some of Mr. Zhou Xingxing's works, I am very happy to see them. There are also directors Chen Kaige, Wu Yusen, Xu Ke, etc. In addition, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which is being released by director Ang Lee, is also a very good movie, and I think it should have good box office results even if it is released in North America. ”
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was officially released in the East in early July, and it was still being screened at this time, so Wang Tao was also familiar with this movie.
"What do you think are the differences between Hollywood movies and Oriental films? There are so few films like 'Rush Hour' that can please both Eastern and Western audiences. But Hollywood films can achieve very good results when they come to the East. ”
As for the film, Leila must have opened her mouth: "To put it simply, it's a cultural difference. Oriental movies are placed in the West, because of cultural differences, Westerners cannot understand the meaning of some plots in the movie. But Easterners are much more tolerant and receptive, and they are more receptive to Western movies. ”
This is actually secretly praising the Orientals, Wang Tao knows this, and he is still very happy in his heart, because what she said is the truth, no matter what you think, it is indeed like that. Otherwise, how can you explain that Western films can earn so much box office when they come to the East, and Eastern movies will be bleak when they come to the West?
As for the level of filming, the storyline or something, I was so crooked by Leila that I couldn't think of those places.
After talking about Hollywood movies for a while, and looking forward to the future of oriental movies for a while, Wang Tao finally brought the topic to the purpose of her coming this time.
"I heard that you are going to spend billions of dollars to build movie theaters in various parts of the East? I wonder what makes you so bold?"
Billions are purely what the host helped her brag, maybe she may spend so much in the future, but at this stage, it is difficult to come up with so much money at once, even her grandfather's tens of billions of assets are not all cash stored in the bank.
Leila was silent for a moment before she said with a more solemn expression: "Before making this decision, I did some research on the film investment environment in the East. In the survey, I found that the cinema equipment in the East is very old, and it can be said that the level of the 90s is only 1%. ”
Wang Tao was taken aback: "It's so low?" This is the first time he has heard of such a thing.
"That's right, it's that low. Leila nodded solemnly: "What is causing this situation? Last year, that is, in 99 years, the annual box office of the East was only 800 million RMB, and a total of 102 movies were released, but only 20% of them could make a profit. ”
"Why is this happening?" Wang Tao asked the same question as her. Because that's a very staggering number indeed. Think about the box office that she can earn with a movie, it can be worth the East for several years!
