Chapter 351: Propaganda in Yanying
With "Transformers" about to be launched, when the summer box office war entered a white heat, Gu Xiaofan attended a promotional event. 【】Novel
Due to the success of "Chinese Partner", this work, which was originally Gu Xiaofan's final drama, also received the highest score of "99 points" in the history of the performance department.
Under the announcement of Principal Zhang, Gu Xiaofan received this honor in front of the teachers and students of Yanying School, which made all the 06 class feel extremely honored, and this was definitely a day that went down in the history of Yanying.
They were extremely proud of being in the same class as Gu Xiaofan.
Teacher Yan, who usually has a straight face, is even more rarely smiling, he Yan Li has always been the most unpopular among the four major tutors, whether it is a student or a school leader, he doesn't treat him very much, and calls him "sick ghost" behind his back.
But since he taught Gu Xiaofan, not only did he show his face in front of the school leaders one after another, he himself was promoted to full professor, and he recruited this class of freshmen this year, and many of them named him to take Yan Li's class.
Several of his public classes were overcrowded, and he was in the limelight for a while, all because of Gu Xiaofan's fame.
Of course, Gu Xiaofan, as the person concerned, was not very happy, because although his unprecedented "99 points" made the school approve that he did not have to participate in any coursework, he enlarged his photo and put it on the admissions poster.
Since then, together with "Zhang Yimou, Zhao Wei, and Huang Xiaoming", he has become a humanoid propaganda poster smirking at people...... This made him a little uncomfortable, mother's ...... There is no endorsement fee for advertising!
In the afternoon, "China Film Magazine" also held a public interview in Yanying, and Huayi's director Feng Xiaogang and Gu Xiaofan carried out this promotional activity together.
Gu Xiaofan is for the promotion of "Chinese Partner", and Feng Xiaogang is for the promotion of "Assembly Number" for the New Year file at the end of the year, in fact, to put it bluntly, Huayi wants to continue the boom of "Chinese Partner", and the hot flashes of "Assembly Number" are in advance.
Because Huayi lent the screen to support Shangying before, Shangying also had to let Huayi take this ride.
"Director Gu, hello, hello~" Feng Xiaogang, a big director wearing a simple gray jacket and a flat head, immediately went up and bent down to say hello when he saw Gu Xiaofan on stage, so frightened that Gu Xiaofan quickly got up and said hello:
"Hello Director Feng~ I'm your iron fan, you must sign me later." Seeing his idol in his heart, Gu Xiaofan was also a little excited, a year ago, Feng Xiaogang was an unattainable figure for him, and at that time, he would never have thought that he would have the opportunity to sit with him.
This interview with China Film Magazine was a text interview, with a moderator asking questions, and two text reporters recording yesterday and making some transcripts at the same time.
Teacher Yan and Dr. Lin watched their protégé and Feng Xiaogang sit on an equal footing, and they couldn't help but show a proud look in their eyes.
At the beginning of the interview, the students in the audience applauded warmly, and after the host explained the rules of the conversation, he threw a topic question to the two:
"Both of them are now top domestic commercial directors, this time "Chinese Partner" defeated "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" in the local market, does it mean that nostalgic youth films will become another domestic hot spot after costume blockbusters?"
Feng Xiaogang nodded with a serious face, and said in a deep tone: "I think this is for sure, our Chinese has a considerable shortcoming, that is, we love to follow the trend, for example, in the past, popular gambling films in Hong Kong sold well, and dozens of gambling films were released a year...... As far as I know now, at least there is, and the 7 and 8 companies are ready to do a youth nostalgia theme similar to "Chinese Partner......"
Gu Xiaofan also agreed: "I think this is a matter of course, after all, it is not easy to discover a good genre film, after all, we can't compete with the United States in mainstream themes for the time being, but the collective memories of Chinese people can't be made by Americans, I'm afraid there will be more and more nostalgic youth themes in the future." ”
Gu Xiaofan looks at future movies in the system, what "The Girl We Chased in Those Years", "To Youth", "The Year in a Hurry", "You at the Same Table", almost all of them are of this type, it is conceivable that this is a very big category of domestic films in the future.
The host asked: "Director Feng's Beijing-style humor is also a blockbuster genre of domestic films, have you watched "Chinese Partner" this time?" Can you rate the movie? ”
"I can't say that." Feng Xiaogang joked very sophisticatedly: "I think the market reflection has explained everything, but I'm very curious, what movie Director Gu wants to make in the future, maybe we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”
This topic immediately led to Gu Xiaofan's new work, and the students at the scene pricked up their ears, and many people were looking forward to "Chinese Partner 2", after all, the previous "Chinese Partner" was too amazing.
Feng Xiaogang also wanted to take a look at Shangying's tone by the way.
But Gu Xiaofan thought for a while and replied: "If I were a simple director, I could do "Chinese Partner" 2, the same subject matter can shoot completely different stories, but my main business is an actor...... Actually, what I want to challenge is the kind of super blockbuster in the United States, and I hope that one day, I can direct and act in this genre myself......"
Gu Xiaofan said, thinking that it was "Game of Thrones" and "The Dark Knight", in fact, what he wanted to say in his heart was that he also wanted to make a royal movie with a Chinese theme like this, but it was too early to say it.
However, this answer alone sounds absurd to others.
Feng Xiaogang frowned slightly when he heard this, and couldn't help but say directly:
"I think every director and actor wants to participate in this kind of film, but in this kind of super blockbuster, my generation is probably difficult to compare with the United States, and when I was filming "Night Banquet", I felt that I had to shoot a small corner of a big era, and I already felt that it was very difficult.
Cameron, Peter Jackson, on the other hand, can build a beautiful and huge world, and in this regard, our technical talent is still far behind, props, lighting, makeup, blasting, post-production, all aspects cannot be compared with the United States...... I think Director Gu may still be too optimistic. ”
Feng Xiaogang felt that Gu Xiaofan's words were too arrogant, and he didn't even think much of what his domestic counterparts meant, you just made a movie, and you are ready to challenge Hollywood?
At this time, the host also felt that Gu Xiaofan's words were too exaggerated, so he directly asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
"May I ask you two, both of you are known as representatives of the revival of Chinese films, so what kind of work is your next work?"
