Chapter 54: Chatter
Cui Zhi, as the assistant director, temporarily served as the host of the launch conference. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"The blood romance boot conference starts now, welcome all media friends to come here in their busy schedules, about blood romance, if you have any questions or suggestions, you can rest assured to boldly put forward, we will try our best to answer and accept it humbly"
"Next, I would like to introduce to you the main creators of the Scarlet Romance crew, director Teng Wenyi"
"Teacher Lu Yan"
"Teacher Sun Li"
"Famous Teacher Lianyi"
"Mr. Chen Baoguo"
The reason why Chen Baoguo is only because he has few scenes, which is also the practice introduced at the press conference.
The cookie-cutter opening was not uncommon for the dozen or so media reporters sitting below, so the applause was not enthusiastic.
Cui Zhi also knew that this group of reporters didn't care about this, and after saying a few more polite words, he said, "Next is the media question session", pointing to one of the female reporters.
The female reporter didn't have the slightest surprise, stood up, and asked, "Hello Director Teng, you used to make movies, and now you are back doing TV series, do you feel any different?" ”
Teng Wenyi thought for a while and said: "Movies and TV series are completely different, and the difference is very big, so some people say that film directors go to shoot TV series, just like playing, but this is never true."
TV series is another art form, for example, it may not be appropriate - for example, the chef of Cantonese cuisine, who is also considered a chef, let him go to McDonald's, he can't do it at all, one is fast food, the other is a big meal, you can't say, you are a big meal, you must be a good person in a fast food restaurant;
Fast food is fast food, and big food is big food, and it's completely two different businesses.
TV viewers are sitting at home, watching while eating with a large family, and the lights are not black, or watching while washing the dishes, Chinese TV dramas are broadcast differently than in the United States, China shows two episodes a day, or three episodes, and many TV stations are showing them, so the competition is fierce, and you will only watch it until the first three episodes can attract you, so it is very different from movies.
The movie is that you buy a ticket and enter the dark room, the first book may not attract you, but you will still be patient to look down, it is impossible to leave immediately, so the first book can do enough feeling, this is how we feel when we make a movie, the first ten minutes, we call brainwashing, that is, to isolate you from the outside world, put all your attention into the black room, just like eating a big meal, first order some cold dishes, drink some wine, and taste slowly, this is called enjoyment.
The TV series is different, if the first three episodes don't attract you, the audience will go to the remote control and change you, no matter how big the actor is, how big the director, it's useless, so the TV series is fast food, it's different from the big meal, if you don't like McDonald's burgers, turn your head and go to KFC. ”
At first, everyone listened very seriously, but seeing Teng Wenyi's chattering appearance, he talked endlessly, and he didn't mean to stop at all, and his face couldn't help showing a little impatience.
"To make a movie, you can do it more artistically, do it more mysteriously, the audience is quietly watching, the energy is more concentrated, the TV series is a little mysterious, as long as you don't understand it, the audience will change the channel, so many TV stations are showing TV dramas, which one can't be watched.
I actually filmed a TV series very early, the first TV series I filmed was called "The Story of Beijing Late Autumn", which was basically filmed according to the filming rules of the movie, because there were fewer TV series at that time, so the filming was more exquisite, and I officially started filming TV series in 02 years, "Scholarly Door", this is the first TV series officially filmed, and I have suffered from it, which is a problem with the script; If you don't solve the problems of the script in the preparation stage, there will be many problems: in terms of rhythm, in the promotion of the plot, and in the portrayal of the characters, if there is a little procrastination or lengthiness, the audience will not agree, in addition to these, there is also the influence of regional culture, and the viewing psychology of southern and northern audiences.
There are fewer problems in this aspect of movies, although there are also, of course, there are also some TV series that are eaten by both the north and the south, such as "Huanzhu Gege", as well as "Deep Love and Rain", they are just exceptions, and others, such as "Ji Xiaolan with Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth", although it is popular in the north, the ratings in the south are not ideal".
The female reporter also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, this was just a very ordinary opening question, but she didn't expect Teng Wenyi to talk so much.
"As we all know, the last imperial princess has a lot of ratings, and many plots are contrary to history, will "Blood Romance" continue the previous style?" Cui Zhi ordered a reporter again, this time casually.
Teng Wenyi's expression did not change at all, over sixty years old, people have long become refined, and his words are also leaky: ""Blood Romance" is different from "The Last Imperial Princess", its cultural revolution / the theme of life, for Chinese, it is a particularly special era, these people over 40 years old, he has a sense of nostalgia, for young people, he has a sense of curiosity, curiosity about the life of his parents' generation, that life is too far away for them, they are also very envious, like your generation, busy chattering all day, How can I have time to shoot my mother-in-law and fight on the street? ”
Speaking of this, seeing the puzzled faces of many reporters below, Teng Wenyi smiled: "Patting the mother-in-law is also hooking the girl." ”
"Haha"
"At that time, there was nothing to do, I did this every day, unlike now, it is so convenient to find friends online, and it is not a big deal to have a one-night stand, at that time, it was very noisy, in fact, there was nothing, I didn't even touch my hands, I just rode around behind the girl, and everyone will think that you are very good, but it is very pure and clean, so it is easy to attract the audience, in addition, the script of "Blood Romance" is well written and the foundation is good, I believe that after the broadcast, it will give everyone a surprise."
The reporter who asked the question just now regretted it, he didn't expect Teng Wenyi to be a "wheat tyrant", and he couldn't stop when he opened his mouth.
Seeing the impatient eyes of the reporters again, Teng Wenyi smiled and motioned to Cui Zhi to click the next one, and it was a slightly older reporter who was clicked: "After more than 30 years of filming, are you still as passionate as you were back then?" Do you make filming a job or a hobby? ”
Teng Wenyi raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down, and many people's hearts suddenly felt that this was the rhythm of another tirade.
The reporters guessed correctly, Teng Wenyi took a sip of water and cleared his throat, "There is a curse in Beijing, rough is rough, it may be more appropriate to describe human nature - dogs can't change ****, my biggest strength may be passion, I don't have any other advantages at all, relying on this support I have come to this point."
Without passion, a script like "The Last Imperial Princess" would not have become a TV series, and it is unashamed to say that it is this kind of passion for filming that makes up for some of the shortcomings of the script of "The Last Imperial Princess".
It's really hard to shoot a script that you don't like very much and still have passion, I did it, and to be honest, the script of "Blood Romance" can be seen at a glance compared to a script like "The Last Imperial Princess".
I think it takes passion to do things, and that passion not only drives your work, but also permeates your work. There will still be a difference between passionate works and non-passionate works, and the audience can see it. ”
