Chapter 85: Interview with the Movie Channel (1/3)

The movie ended quickly, and the third master was overjoyed.

But Li Zhe knew that the third master was definitely acting, and he had already seen it when he sent the finished film to him, but at most, he laughed quietly, and it was definitely not so exaggerated.

However, the purpose of the third master is to praise this movie, so those media people see that the third master is actually smiling so happily, and they all know how to write it.

The next day, Li Zhe was about to go to another cinema to participate in the screening, but received a call from the third master.

"Li Zhe, if you come to me, there is a reporter who wants to interview you."

Journalists interview me? Li Zhe is a little confused, he is also an investor and an agent, and the reporter wants to interview Zhao Yinger and other stars, right?

"What journalist?"

"Reporter of "Huaguo Film".

Li Zhe was very surprised, "Huaguo Movie"? This is a program under CCTV6. The background is very powerful, but how did they come to interview me?

But if you leave here, you will understand, this must be the result of the operation of the third master.

Thinking of this, Li Zhe was a little moved. He and the third master were unknown before this movie, the third master invested in his own movie, and he was very moved to escort his own movie, but he didn't expect it to be released soon, and the third master still wanted to help them build momentum.

"Third master, thank you!"

The third master's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone: "You don't have to thank me, if you can make a career in the Chinese film industry in the future, it will be the best reward for me." ”

After agreeing, you will take the car to Huaying Group. He didn't feel cramped or uneasy, after all, he was an agent now, and he would inevitably have to deal with all kinds of reporters in the future.

However, it is necessary to make some preparations before this, so as not to say the wrong thing and offend others when the time comes. If the average reporter is offended, he will be offended, but this is a reporter of CCTV6, so it is better to cause less trouble.

When he arrived at Huaying Group, the third master had already arranged everything for him, and he was taken to a small room, where he competed for a little brother with a camera, and a beautiful female reporter who was holding the iconic microphone labeled "Movie Channel Huaguo Film Report".

This person Li Zhe also knows, she is a host of a movie channel, called Song Xue, and the program hosted is "Action 90 Points". Li Zhe can see her on TV every Saturday night.

Li Zhe hurriedly walked over with a smile, shook hands with her, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

"It's okay, Mr. Li, we just arrived." Song Xue's down-to-earth and generous appearance made Li Zhe feel very relaxed.

"Then let's get started, it won't take up too much of your time."

After Li Zhe sat down, he proposed to start the interview. Song Xue was surprised by the young man in front of her, she was still a little unhappy yesterday when she sent him to interview the CEO of a small company, but today when she saw Li Zhe's bearing, she felt that this was not a very uncomfortable job.

She gestured slightly to the photographer next to her, and then the two began the interview.

"Hello, Mr. Li. I'm Song Xue, and I'm doing an exclusive interview with you on behalf of the movie channel today. ”

"Miss Song Xue, you look even more beautiful than on TV."

"Thank you." Song Xue smiled slightly, "I heard that you recently invested in filming a low-budget comedy?" Can you tell us a little bit about the situation? ”

"Of course you can. I invested in a movie called "Nightclub" at the beginning of this year. It is going to be released in July, but it has already been screened in Yanjing. During the screening period, the ticket price is comprehensive, and I hope that interested audiences can go and see it. ”

"I went to check it before I came, "Nightclub" started to be screened yesterday, and now the media reputation is very good! Even the dean of Yandian Academy issued a post of praise. When it is released in July, it must be a bumper harvest, right? ”

Li Zhe showed a worried look: "Alas, I can't predict the box office." ”

"Oh? What's wrong? ”

"Those who pay attention to the movie know that "The Matrix 2" was released in the same period as us, and this movie has a good reputation at the box office of the United States. Presumably, when the time comes, our "Nightclub" can only rely on word-of-mouth to mix and eat! ”

"Ah, that's it!" Song Xue looked very shocked, but in fact, her heart had already cleared up. "But according to my investigation, all of your company's investment is in this movie, isn't it going to be lost?"

"It's nothing, it's normal to make a movie, make money and lose money." Li Zhe seems to be very open-minded, "But what really worries me is the film market in Huaguo." ”

Song Xue's eyes lit up, and she finally said the point. This is the goal sent by the superiors, and as for the promotion of "Nightclub", it is only incidental.

Li Zhe naturally knew the other party's purpose, which was also reminded by the third master. And now he just wants to tell the answer with the third master.

"I don't know what Mr. Li thinks about the film market in China?"

"I can't say what I think, but I have some superficial insights. Now the film market in China is actually not small, but how many movies can really develop market potential? Titanic, Heroes, Harry Potter, etc., etc., but only "Heroes" is a domestic film. Now a large part of the domestic market share has been plundered by foreign capital, but this can't be blamed on the audience, it's the fault of us filmmakers. ”

"Since the release of the Titanic, it has caused a shock in our domestic film industry. It was also at that time that we began to try the operation of commercial blockbusters, and finally "Hero" came out, and it turned out that this kind of movie was also called well-received, and there was no such situation as the original literary film. ”

"I don't want the domestic market to be dominated by foreign films, I hope that our own filmmakers in China can produce excellent commercial films. But I didn't have enough money, so I chose a low-budget comedy as a stepping stone. ”

Song Xue's eyes were full of surprise, and she didn't know if what Li Zhe said was taught by the third master or his own thoughts.

"And what are your expectations for this film?"

"Emotionally, of course I wish he could keep The Matrix 2 underneath, but reason tells me I'm dreaming. However, we are not so vulnerable, "Hero" has taken a good start, indicating that as long as domestic films are done well, then they will be recognized by the audience. I'm sure we're not going to be bad at the box office. ”

About this report, the next day it spread in the industry. Many people scoff at Li Zhe, after all, he is against "The Matrix 2", and he is still so confident, he doesn't know how thick the sky is.

However, when ordinary people knew Li Zhe's words, they all looked forward to "Nightclub" one by one, and they wanted to see what was so good about the movies that even the movie channel promoted.
