Chapter 239: The First Interview

The awards party ended, "Like a Year of Water" won five trophies with nine nominations, becoming the biggest winner of the 4th Academy Awards, "The True Color of Heroes" won the best actor and best movie in second place, and the most tragic thing is the crew of "Shanghai Night", which is purely an accompaniment tonight.

As soon as the party ended, Xu Ke walked towards the door of the venue with the crew of "Shanghai Night", looking like he was about to leave early.

Seeing Wang Zheng's personal invitation, Zhong Zhentao, the actor and Ye Qianwen, the heroine of "Shanghai Night", were a little moved.

Maybe it was the result of tonight's lack of results, Xu Ke seemed interested, smiled and declined: ""The True Color of Heroes" won the best movie tonight, your crew should celebrate well, I won't bother." ”

"Director Xu, it's a shame to say that. Wang Zheng said with a smile: "The True Color of Heroes 2" is about to start filming, and Director Xu, as the producer of the sequel, can just take this opportunity to get acquainted with several main creators in the play. ”

Xu Ke did not refuse again after hearing this, but showed hesitation on his face. Wu Yusen, who heard the conversation between the two, also came over and said: "Wenguang, let's go together, the Academy Awards are not only this year, this time I failed to win the award, and I will come again next year." ”

It was Wu Yusen who knew Xu Ke best, and when he said this, the latter smiled helplessly and said, "Then I'll bother." ”

After Xu Ke agreed, Dillon, Zhou Runfa, Zhang Guorong and others also got together, and the members of the two crews got to know each other, and Guan Zhilin proposed to go to the Causeway Bay Night Market not far away for supper.

Just as everyone was ready to leave, Chen Baisen, the organizer of the Academy Awards and one of the founders of "Film Fortnightly", came over.

"Director Wang, please stay!"

Wang Zheng looked puzzled and asked, "Editor-in-Chief Chen, is there something wrong?"

Chen Baisen smiled slightly and said: "We want to conduct an exclusive interview with Director Wang in the film biweekly, as the cover of the next issue, I wonder if Director Wang will have time?"

"Now?" Wang Zheng was a little embarrassed, he had just made an appointment with Xu Ke, and if he changed his hexagram temporarily, he was afraid that he would make Xu Lao Wei unhappy.

Chen Baisen seemed to see Wang Zheng's embarrassment, and explained with a smile: "As long as Director Wang returns to the few questions we have prepared, it will not be delayed for too long." ”

Seeing that Wang Zheng was still a little hesitant, Wu Yusen said: "Ah Zheng, since Editor-in-Chief Chen said that it will not be long, it is not too late for you to come to us after the interview, Wenguang has me to entertain you, you don't have to worry." ”

"I'm talking the same as a guest. Xu Ke threw Wu Yusen a roll of his eyes and said to Wang Zheng: Director Wang, you should accept an exclusive interview first, and come to us when you are done, we will wait for you. ”

Since Xu Ke and Wu Yusen agreed, Wang Zheng and Chen Baisen came to the hotel housekeeping department and conducted the interview in a relatively quiet room after explaining that Guan Zhilin was the boss for him.

"Director Wang, we have prepared a total of 20 questions this time, some of which may involve your personal privacy, you can refuse to answer, of course, if you can tell us the truth, you are also welcome!"

In a European-style guest room, Wang Zheng and Chen Baisen sat opposite each other, the latter holding a pen and paper in his hand, as a reminder before starting.

I have seen too many celebrity interviews under the camera, and Wang Zheng is the first time to see an interview with a paper record, although the interview subject is himself, and Chen Baisen himself has a guest interview with reporters, but he has not been able to produce the slightest sense of tension.

Wang Zheng smiled faintly and said, "Editor-in-Chief Chen can ask casually, and I will definitely know everything if I can answer." ”

Chen Baisen lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile: "Okay, then I won't waste Director Wang's precious time, let's start with the first question." ”

"The drama "The True Color of Heroes" not only broke the box office record in Xiangjiang film history, but also won the Best Film Award at the Academy Awards tonight.

"The devil knows. After listening to the slander for a while, Wang Zheng could only pretend to ponder for a moment before saying: "I personally like the chivalrous in martial arts, the kind of happy revenge and hatred, and the brotherhood of the two ribs, all of which make me yearn for it very much. ”

After saying the nonsense, Wang Zheng felt that his throat was dry for a while, picked up the hot tea on the table and drank two sips, and Chen Baisen, who was sitting opposite, recorded his words word for word in a very fast handwriting technique.

As the record ends, a second question arises.

"Since the release of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Director Wang has released an average of two movies every year, although it is not very productive compared with other directors, but Director Wang's achievements in each play are very amazing, and the box office is more than 20 million, I am very curious about this, I don't know where the source of inspiration for Director Wang to make each drama a classic comes from?"

"Of course, the source of inspiration comes from memories from another time and space, but you don't believe it. Wang Zheng's belly slander has become a habit, so he thought about it and said: "Creative inspiration, maybe I heard a lot of stories when I was a child, and slowly I became an expert in making stories, there will always be some wild ideas, if you have to explain this idea, I think it should be my brain." ”

Chen Baisen didn't seem to be satisfied with Wang Zheng's answer, stopped the shorthand pen in his hand, and asked, "Director Wang's childhood seems to have been spent in the mainland, right?"

Wang Zheng smiled faintly: "Yes, Longgang, Shenzhen, there are memories of my entire childhood. ”

Chen Baisen nodded, did not continue to ask, and then asked the next question.

"Director Wang won the Best Director at the Academy Awards at the age of 21, and as the highest-grossing director in Hong Kong, he must be very popular with girls, I wonder if Director Wang is single now, or does he already have a girlfriend?"

Perhaps because he felt that this question was too gossipy, Chen Baisen said after asking: "This question involves privacy, and Director Wang can choose not to answer." ”

Wang Zheng smiled faintly and said: "It's okay, anyway, I also want to make my relationship public as soon as possible, so I just used "Movie Fortnightly" to tell my fans." ”

Chen Baisen looked very excited, and hurriedly asked: "Is Director Wang single now? If not, who is the lucky girlfriend?"

Some amused Chen Baisen's excited reaction, Wang Zheng said lightly: "As the media said, my current girlfriend is Miss Guan Zhilin, the two of us have a good relationship, she has given me a lot of help and care, I hope that our hard-won relationship can be blessed by Xiangjiang media people, even if you can't receive blessings, I hope you don't take advantage of this malicious hype!"

Chen Baisen nodded again and again, this news is a bombshell, if it is published in the next issue of "Film Fortnightly", it will definitely sell well.

got a piece of heavy news, Chen Baisen's subsequent questions were more formulaic, not about the movie, or about the movie itself, Wang Zheng can answer these questions correctly, and if it is really difficult to answer, he will make up stories on the spot, anyway, his nonsense can come when he opens his mouth.

"The last question, I believe that both the audience and the filmmakers in the circle should have expectations for Director Wang's next filming plan, if Director Wang is convenient, can he reveal a thing or two. ”

"Absolutely. Wang Zheng smiled and said: "At the beginning of the year, I had two dramas started, one was "Police Story" starring Chen Long, and the filming was nearing completion. The other is "Mr. Zombie" directed by Zeng Zhiwei and produced by me, which is a brand-new theme film integrating zombies, kung fu, and comedy, which I believe will bring a different surprise to the audience. In the second half of the year, two new dramas directed by me will be launched, and these two dramas will be filmed in the mainland. ”

Chen Baisen quickly recorded and asked: "Mainland filming?

Wang Zheng shook his head lightly, and said with a smile: "More news, Shaw Brothers and Zheng Fei Xingwei will make announcements, if the audience wants to know early, they can pay attention to the relevant reports of TVB." ”

Chen Baisen was a little disappointed, and asked unwillingly: "Since the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration last year, the people of Xiangjiang have generally been skeptical of the mainland's senses.

Refused to answer the question. Wang Zheng put away the smile on his face and said: "The people are skeptical because of the strangeness caused by leaving the mainland for too long, and I have only one attitude towards this matter, that is, I have always been Chinese." ”

Seeing the displeasure on Wang Zheng's face, Chen Baisen quickly closed the notes in his hand, held Wang Zheng's hand and said with a smile: "Thank you Director Wang for your cooperation, and finally on behalf of the organizers of the Academy Awards, I would like to ask Director Wang, what suggestions do you have for the award process of the Academy Awards?"

"I don't dare to ask for advice. Wang Zheng smiled faintly: "Since the Academy Awards are imitated from the Oscars, then we must learn more from the Academy Awards, all formalization is the foundation, my only suggestion is that the Academy Awards trophy should not be changed frequently, from the crystal square to this year's double-headed muscle man, the four Academy Awards have changed their shape four times, with all due respect, frequent and more medals will only make the Academy Awards farther and farther away from regularization." ”

What Wang Zheng said was very reasonable, and Chen Baisen humbly asked: "Then Director Wang thinks what kind of trophy shape can represent the Xiangjiang Academy Awards?"

Wang Zheng thought for a while and said: "In addition to being an international metropolis in Xiangjiang, the beauties of Xiangjiang are also internationally famous, the Hong Kong sister selected by wireless every year, and the Miss Asia selected by ATV every year, these are the characteristics of Xiangjiang. ”

Chen Baisen's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he hurriedly thanked: "Director Wang is really a surprise dreamer, I don't know how to thank him!"

"Thank you, I don't have to, as a member of Xiangjiang Films, this is what I should do. After Wang Zheng finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, left the Furama Hotel, and headed towards the Causeway Bay Night Market.

After Chen Baisen sent Wang Zheng away, he hurriedly wrote down the trophy shape he just said in his notebook, for fear of forgetting it.

"Editor-in-chief, the next issue of "Film Fortnightly" will be accompanied by tonight's list of winners according to your instructions, a total of 50,000 copies have been typeset, and the order has been placed to the factory. ”

As soon as Chen Baisen finished remembering the shape of the trophy, the people below came to report the printing of newspapers and periodicals, thinking of the love affair that Wang Zheng had just reported himself, he hurriedly ordered: "50,000 copies is too little, you go and arrange it immediately, and print another 50,000 copies." ”

Major media magazines use Wang Zheng's relationship every day to hype sales, but his real love affair was announced for the first time in "Film Fortnightly", thinking of this, Chen Baisen was a burst of joy, it was an interview for the movie, but he accidentally got a bombshell, if it weren't for the limited funds, he really wanted to have another 50,000 copies.
