"People" is a very high-end and atmospheric magazine. ◢ With * dream * small ◢.1a

Domestically, it is generally very difficult to operate this kind of magazine, and if it is too high-end, it will be far away from the masses, too low-end, and violates the principle of founding.

"People" is a very rare magazine that can not only satisfy the interviewer's pretense**, but also satisfy the gossip mentality of the viewers.

This gossip does not refer to some disdainful and unreliable news, but to the interviewer's passive or active telling of some hidden stories.

Most of the people who can be on the cover of "People" are some celebrities who are just popular or big names in the industry.

For example, Lao Guo hadn't repaired his family tree yet, it was just a rumor, and Cao Yunjin and Lao Guo hadn't been torn up head-on, and "People" had already taken out three interviews with Lao Guo, specifically about the beginning and end of this matter!

The news sense is not ordinary.

Last year, Xu Hui had just returned to China, and "People" made a request for an exclusive interview, but he was too busy at that time to spare time, and the interview was stranded.

This time, it's a bit of a shame to refuse again.

Anyway, they are also quite influential magazines.

In particular, the reporter in charge of interviewing him was Xie Mengyao.

……

Xie Mengyao is a very senior journalist, who worked for NGOs (non-governmental organizations) before 06 years, and then moved to the media, and is now under the umbrella of "People" magazine, doing some interviews about the entertainment industry.

Last year, he wanted to have a good chat with Xu Hui.

I wonder how a twenty-four-year-old man dares to make a movie, and where does he get his confidence?

Before the interview, there must always be a relevant investigation, and he learned that Xu Hui was zero in other aspects except for popularity.

Especially the most important connections!

It's hard to imagine that a twenty-four-year-old has the opportunity to master the guide tube ...

Moreover, he seized the opportunity, and "Embroidered Spring Knife" directly hit a box office of 200 million.

The debut was perfect.

Of course, at that time, it was rumored that "Embroidered Spring Knife" was actually filmed on behalf of someone, but Xu Hui's name was just hung up.

In this regard, Xie Mengyao scoffed, if you want to say that Brother Chen Kai's "Farewell My Concubine" was filmed by his father, then it is still a little credible, after all, the father and son, the most real blood relationship, why Xu Hui?

Before the release of "Those Years", Xie Mengyao had a hunch that the box office of this movie might reach an incredible level.

Because Xu Hui mentioned in an interview last year that 'the next youth film is aimed at the box office!'

Xie Mengyao became more curious about Xu Hui, a director, how does he grasp the public's preferences, or why does he judge that his films will be so attractive?

In this interview, he did a lot of homework in advance, and I believe that he will definitely be able to dig up a lot of unknown materials.

……

Compared with recording variety shows, Xu Hui is more willing to accept interviews with print media, face-to-face, without too many superfluous people, which is very good.

And they have already said that they will go to Hangzhou in person for a one-on-one interview.

There's no reason to refuse, and besides, a lot of things have happened recently, and he feels like he can complain a little.

In May in Hangzhou, the weather is very good, Xu Hui likes this weather very much, wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt, facing the warm sunshine, sitting on the balcony, drinking a cup of tea, is there anything more interesting than this?

Shooting doesn't count...

It was already noon when Xie Mengyao flew to Hangzhou, and after eating something casually, he found Xu Hui's home address according to the address.

When Xu Hui's mother opened the door, when she saw Xu Hui, the latter was napping on the balcony, with a pile of manuscript paper in front of him, Xie Mengyao glanced at it, and wrote down a lot of things with blue steel.

I guess it's a script.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you, and I have to make you come all the way here. ”

Being woken up by Xu's mother, Xu Hui washed his face and took Xie Mengyao into the study.

"What's the matter, Director Xu is willing to accept an exclusive interview, which is the honor of our "People"!"

Xie Mengyao said half-sincerely and half-flatteringly.

During this time, Xu Hui was really red and purple, and the media was full of his news, but there was very little real material, most of them were rumors or some fabricated news.

The most unreliable news is Zhang Weiping's announcement that Xu Hui will join "Three Guns Shooting Surprise"...

Knowing that Xu Hui agreed to the interview with "People", many people in the editorial department wanted to take the initiative to invite Ying, and then, the editor-in-chief Zhang Jie personally ordered Xie Mengyao to come over.

Everyone knows that with Xu Hui's influence, once he is interviewed, the sales of this issue will definitely be bad.

"You're so polite... This is our family's own tea, it tastes very good, authentic Anding Yunwu!"

At this time, Xu's mother brought over two cups of tea, and Xu Hui hurriedly promoted his grandmother's tea.

“… Do you still grow tea at home?"

"Of course, my grandmother's house has a tea mountain, and in the past, our family would go to the tea mountain every April to help pick tea, but since I worked, I have never been there. ”

These are all things that Xu Hui remembers.

Xie Mengyao felt very fresh, but he didn't have any special ideas, he interviewed more celebrities, celebrities have their own quirks, and it is not uncommon for people like Xu Hui to like tea.

The two chatted for a few words, he opened the recorder and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Director Xu, if there is anything you don't want to answer, you can tell me first." ”

"It's okay, just talk!"

Xu Hui waved his hand nonchalantly.

“… It's a trade secret, but I'll say a little bit!"

"Director Xu, then let's officially start. ”

Xie Mengyao glanced at Xu Hui, and then asked, "Can you talk about your feelings after learning that the movie "Those Years" broke the box office record?"

"Well, I was a little surprised, and then it felt pretty smooth. ”

Xu Hui thought for a while and replied.

"Surprised, not surprised?"

Xie Mengyao tilted his head and asked.

"How to say it, I was too busy during that time, running around for publicity and roadshows every day, and I really didn't have any extra energy to worry about the box office, and to be honest, I don't think it's surprising that "Those Years" could get a box office of 420 million..."

“… To correct it, as of now, it's already 480 million!"

Xie Mengyao probably believed that Xu Hui really 'didn't care' about the box office, but he still noticed Xu Hui's use of the word 'not surprising': "You mean, this movie can get more than 400 million box office within your prediction?"

Xu Hui sat opposite him, staring thoughtfully at the table with a cup of steaming green tea, and took a sip: "Ahem... Almost, I chose this theme because I liked its market performance!"

Xie Mengyao was a little surprised, or a little disgusted by Xu Hui's tone.

According to his prediction, it is estimated that Xu Hui will definitely say something nonsense such as the down-to-earth movie of "Those Years" next, but he still has to ask: "How did you do it? Or how do you judge that a certain theme can be a big hit?"
