"Why do you want to rest? is because I find that I am less sensitive to the work, because we know that as a director, you have to be sensitive!"

“… You're talking about the director of a literary film, and if I give me a theme like this, I can shoot it! And the audience will like it too!"

In fact, the so-called literary films and independent films are the self-expression of the creators.

They want to express their views on social changes or about something through a work, and such a person must be sensitive, otherwise his work will not be discussed!

As a commercial film director, Xu Hui has been able to skillfully use skills to make the audience like his works.

Although a bit of a braggadocio ...

"Actually, it's mainly a sense of sleepiness, and I can't find the passion I had when I made a movie for the first time..."

Xu Hui yawned, shook his head, and continued: "In the past, I liked that some audiences said that my movie had a high box office, and I thought that would mean that my movie was good, but now, I may think about it more..."

"Think more about the filmmaker's sense of responsibility?"

“… No, I don't think it's possible for me to make any influential works in my life, the first thing to appeal to is always the audience's needs, when my personal expression is contradictory to the audience's psychology, I will always stand on the audience's side, this feeling is especially strong when I shoot "New Dragon Gate Inn"!"

"How?"

"That's a 3D martial arts, I'm making a movie, and I know very well that 3D is the opposite of fast editing, and my martial arts style is fast editing and sharp movements, if these are presented in 3D, it will be awkward visually at first, but the audience felt that 3D was a good thing at that time, so I could only cater to the audience's ideas, and made a 3D martial arts, and the final effect was presented..."

"It's good, I watched it in the cinema!"

“… It's a lot worse, at least it's more than a star and a half off from my original plan, we have expanded the drama part, added a lot of inexplicable long shots, and cut too many scenes!"

Xu Hui waved his hand, and then said: "Since then, I have said that I will resolutely not shoot 3D martial arts in the future, and then I feel that I am not a little too hypocritical, so I simply stopped working for a year, and I feel that I need to correct my mentality!"

"Then how did you come up with the idea of filming "Smiling Proud Jianghu"?"

"After all, it's Jin Yong's martial arts, and there are still some plots... In fact, I want to shoot "The Condor Heroes" the most, but unfortunately, I didn't get the adaptation rights, of course, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is not bad!"

"I watched the trailer, do you play Ling Hu Chong?"

“… To tell the truth, the main thing is that our subversion of the original work is too big, to put it bluntly, it's almost another story, I play the male lead, and I also want everyone to give a little face when they scold, don't scold so ruthlessly..."

"So, is it a big disruption? Do you think some viewers won't approve of it?"

"I can't say this, it depends on the audience's own thoughts, I smoke a cigarette..."

He was so sleepy that Xu Hui felt that he needed a cigarette to relieve himself a little...

Anyway, it's a magazine interview, and there are no cameras, so you can be casual.

"I've been so tired these days, and I've been busy since I came back from Cannes..."

"Speaking of Cannes, you're disappointed that Cinema Paradiso didn't win the Palme d'Or?"

"It's really disappointing, because that story is a semi-autobiographical work about directors and films, well, it's a film that I want to make, and I just want to make a work for myself..."

"Didn't you just say that you would never abandon the audience?"

"So, it's a foreign language film, I think so, my movie audience should be mainland audiences first, and then foreign audiences, the whole story structure of "Cinema Paradiso" is Western... Have you ever been to Cannes?"

“… No, but I've heard a lot of feedback from my colleagues who say that Cinema Paradiso has set off a movie-going frenzy in Cannes and that it's hard to get a ticket!"

"Yes, 6 screenings, all the attendance rates are bursting, and it is foreseeable that the box office will not be bad!"

"So, you still have to think about the box office!"

"Ensuring that your work doesn't lose money is the most basic professional ethics of a director, and you can't let investors' money go down the drain. ”

"But many movies, although they are not good at the box office, they have a high status in film history, such as "Carmen in Mong Kok" and "In the Mood for Love"..."

“… Don't always take Wang Jiawei as an example, besides, the export copyright of "In the Mood for Love" is doing a good job..."

The reporter was blocked for a while, slightly stunned, but he quickly adjusted and continued to ask: "Speaking of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", how did you reconstruct the relationship between the characters?"

"I didn't rebuild it much, because Jin Yong himself had already set the tone for each character when he created "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and I didn't need to do anything more... I have always felt that the characters and stories that can be handed down and accepted by the audience must have their uniqueness, so there is no need for much change, just continue, the characters of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" have basically not been re-changed, but the story must not be copied from the original book, after all, the movie is only two hours..."

"So do you have any thoughts on the box office?"

“… Box office, as long as you can get back to the basics, of course, the more the better, after all, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is also a small summary of my martial arts movies, and in the next few years, I may not touch the theme of martial arts again. ”

……

At the end of the interview, Xu Hui returned to the hotel.

After lying down for a while, my spirit recovered a little, and it was already noon.

In the afternoon, there is still "A Date with Perch" to be recorded, and the movie promotion is like this, one program after another, one event after another!

Fortunately, now that "Bass Appointment" has been revised, the perch will personally visit the interviewer, instead of having to fly to the recording hall as before...

Mu Hua knocked on the door and walked in: "Brother Xu, Sister Ya, Nini and Yang Zi are here, they are waiting in the lobby!"

“… Got it, I'll go downstairs right away!"

Okay, the personnel are finally in order, and the propaganda is on...

"The Woman of the Swordsman Family", the TV series that Ya Yi is preparing, the young lady is in full swing, fully showing the demeanor of the empress, the male number one and the director are all selected by her, including a bunch of actors...

When we meet later, I have to call her the producer's sister;

Yang Zi took over "Battle of Changsha", according to herself, the acting was quite enjoyable;

Nini, a little embarrassed, her route is a bit of a collision with love, most of the company's internal resources were snatched away by the agency team that fills love, that can only rob the resources outside, recently took two plays for her, "Breakup Contract" and "Plastic Surgery Diary"...

They all have a job.

When Xu Hui walked to the living room, the three young ladies were sitting in the dining room eating Zhenghuan.

"You try this, crab roe xiaolongbao, it's delicious!"

“… I've been a vegetarian lately..."

"Give it to me, I just want to gain weight recently!"
