Chapter 409: Interview from TIME

readx;

The first question asked by the female reporter Caitlin was why Su Li debuted, which is also a question that many people are concerned about. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After all, he was just an ordinary college student in college, and it can't be seen from any sign that he has an unstoppable interest in acting and the entertainment industry, but he suddenly stepped on the soil of the entertainment industry, and then created one miracle after another, which makes people feel really dazzling.

Therefore, the source of all this has aroused everyone's curiosity, why did Su Li suddenly remember to enter the entertainment industry? This is a topic that many people care about.

Although Caitlin is not a fan of Su Li, she knows very well what Su Li has done along the way. At the same time, she also watched Su Li's "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers" and "Inception", and she has more understanding and curiosity about this amazing director, and why Su Li suddenly debuted is also one of the questions she is more concerned about.

"Why did you suddenly make your debut?" Su Li muttered slightly in his heart, and then smiled: "As we all know, in 2007, I was indeed a very ordinary college student in the ivory tower, and I really didn't think that I would suddenly enter the entertainment industry. It's just that then I saw the fast girl competition in the class of '06 and became interested in this kind of talent show, and maybe it was an opportunity to stretch my mind. So I went in with the attitude of giving it a try, and what I wanted to do at that time was to take a few more steps and show myself more in front of everyone. Later, I had good luck and made it to the global finals. Maybe I should also be grateful to fate, if I hadn't had that idea at the time, I wouldn't have been able to experience this colorful entertainment industry. ”

"Thank you, I think we should also be grateful to fate, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to see so many wonderful movies." Caitlin politely complimented, and continued: "And then, you suddenly retired from the stage of your country's fast male finals, which is something that has never happened in that talent show, some people say that it is because you can't stand the shady, is this the case?" ”

Caitlyn immediately hid the more poignant topic, and she wanted to hear Su Li's answer.

She also inadvertently led Su Li back to those days when she had just entered the fast man stage, and in a blink of an eye, five years flew by, gaining a lot, but also disappearing a lot.

The shady scene that Caitlyn asked, Su Li naturally couldn't tell the truth. On the one hand, Su Li will not offend some people inexplicably and be pushed to the forefront, and he doesn't want foreigners to have any excuse to laugh at his country's entertainment industry, so naturally he won't tell the truth about that incident back then.

Su Li said: "I retired from the final stage that year...... In fact, it has nothing to do with any shady scenes, and I made it very clear when I quit the competition that the reason for my withdrawal was because of some problems with my voice and I couldn't continue my performance on stage. As for shady claims and the like, it's just speculation by some people, and maybe some people with ulterior motives deliberately spread it, and it has nothing to do with my withdrawal. ”

Caitlin nodded, she didn't plan to let Su Li really say anything shady, in that case she probably wouldn't really post it in the magazine...... What country doesn't have a little dirt behind its back? So she didn't dwell on it at all, but immediately jumped to the next question: "Later, your album, called "Dumping the World", won everyone's love, and many of them are still being sung in China now." But then you also made a name for yourself in the film industry, "Eavesdropping", "Nightclub". "Supermarket" has once again pushed you to the forefront, how did you suddenly think of developing your own film career? She actually has her own thoughts and curiosity when she asks this sentence, because there are a lot of legendary things about Su Li, and there are also many things about him that make people curious.

This question, everyone is more curious, after all, it is transferred to another field, and the difficulties in the middle can be imagined, but Su Li did it lightly.

"Develop your own film career...... I have my own plans, too. Su Li pondered slightly, and then said: "At that time, I stepped into the entertainment industry, and in a short period of time, I gained a lot but lost a lot. The entertainment industry is dazzling and full of such and such things, and after I really entered this circle, I had the opportunity to realize my dream. After all, I once dreamed of being a director, and I wanted to shoot my own movies and shoot according to my own likeness...... You know, if your idea becomes a movie, it becomes everything that everybody sees on the big screen, it's going to be a wonderful feeling. Because I had such a dream, I had such a plan, and I found that I had gradually had the miracle of making movies, and then I came according to my own ideas. ”

"I think a lot of people know that I'm a person who is more likely to be a bit impulsive, and I often do things because of my own ideas and don't think much about the consequences. Just like suddenly turning into the film industry, you know, according to common sense, I should be a stable singer, and only in the future can I have some thoughts of wanting to develop more. Later, whether it was my "Inception" or "The Mountains and Rivers of the Country" were questioned by many people at the initial shooting, but I always insisted on going my own way, and I was not too influenced by other people, maybe I should try to absorb more opinions from others in the future. ”

Caitlin was a little incredulous: "Oh my God, Sue, you should stick to your own ideas, shouldn't you?" What we see is that you have become the youngest and most well-known director in the world, and you have unlimited prospects, and these achievements are because of your decisiveness and self-confidence! Trust me, support what you want, that's right. ”

Su Li smiled and nodded, not saying much.

Caitlin returned to normal, and continued: "After that, you slowly embarked on your own path, a path that no one else can replicate, and it is extremely brilliant...... When you first started making movies, did you encounter any difficulties? ”

"Of course there are difficulties." Su Li's eyes flashed, and then said: "You know, I was originally born in a wild road, and I didn't have a solid theoretical foundation and some necessary conditions like a professional director. Originally, the background of the wild road will also create a feeling of unprofessionalism. In the shooting, because there is no solid theoretical foundation on the body, it naturally adds a lot of difficulties. I often rack my brains with some shooting problems but I don't get much out of it, and I can only slowly explore the process of making a film by myself, which is more difficult. In addition, there are some local problems such as connections, and here I have to thank director Zhang Yimou for his help to me, from my first film "Nightclub. Supermarket", I've been receiving some help from him. Because of his help, I, a director from a wild background, can slowly grow up, mature, and have these achievements step by step. ”

Caitlin also felt a little, she herself could also perceive the hardships that Su Li encountered back then, to be honest, this person is really a legend.

"Yes," she said, "I guess it was difficult, but you made it through." So, you don't have much systematic learning, but you still have such a high level of achievement today, so do you think the theoretical foundation helps in these things? Do you feel this way, that no amount of theory actually does not help much with real movie scenes. ”

Su Li hurriedly waved his hand, most of the people who are really in power in the Chinese film industry are still academics, and he can't offend these people. So he waved his hand and said, "Of course not, theory is the crystallization and essence of human practice." Theory naturally has its own uses, when I first started making movies, I also had a lot of troubles caused by the lack of a solid theoretical foundation, many things are simply impossible to start, and the lack of a theoretical foundation has brought me a lot of difficulties. And now, if I have a little success in making movies, then I have to say that I have a lot of credit for recharging myself, and I have read a lot of theoretical books in the past few years. There is no difference between the academic school and the empirical school, the two sides have different emphasis, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and I think it would be a good way to combine the two. ”

Caitlin also has to say that the Chinese entertainment industry is indeed very experienced, Su Li was just a pink and tender newcomer back then, and he even made some mistakes that offended many people, but now this kind of mistake is absolutely invisible to him.

Caitlin's question was not as sharp as the previous ones, and the next question she asked was: "Mr. Su Li, it has been five years since you entered the entertainment industry, do you think this is the same as you imagined at the time?" ”

In fact, Su Li has also answered this question before, that is, whether the entertainment industry is different from what he imagined before, he answers it more strictly every time, and tries to avoid offending some people needlessly.

He replied more easily: "There are naturally some differences from what I imagined before. Just like idols, many celebrities have a large group of fans in society, and these fans tend to have a strong admiration for celebrities. But after entering the entertainment industry, I found that celebrities are not as flawless as everyone thinks, after all, celebrities are also people. And the life of a star is not as glamorous as imagined, on the contrary, it is full of fatigue. During working hours, I am so tired that I have nothing to say, especially when filming movies and TV series, this kind of fatigue cannot be said. During normal non-working hours, there is very little personal space for oneself, and it is easy to magnify anything under the public microscope. You have to be cautious in everything you say and do. There are many things in the entertainment industry, and it is unimaginable hardship and hard work under the glossy surface...... This is something that is not the same as you imagined. But there is a price to be paid for everything you do, and the price is often much higher than one person thinks, and there is no way around it. ”
