0269 【High-end Access】
The Olympic Games are getting closer, and the whole country is filled with the atmosphere of sports, Shao Shuaijun is busy dealing with the company's affairs this May Day, and he has to be interviewed by "High-end Interview" in the middle. This program can be said to be the most high-end of CCTV's talk shows, and the interviews are all political celebrities and cutting-edge figures in various industries.
Shao Shuaijun rarely appears on TV, and has only appeared on Sun TV's "Interview with Yang Lan", Time.com's "Star Face-to-Face", Sohu.com and "Beijing Entertainment Letter" jointly launched "Movie Signal", as well as CCTV's "News Series" and "Economic Half Hour", and perhaps a few talk show talk shows in the United States.
In addition, Shao Shuaijun can only be seen in press conferences and media and magazine interviews.
"High-end Interview" wants to interview him, Shao Shuaijun is naturally not easy to refuse, and being able to appear on this show is an affirmation of his success. The audience facing the program is a high-level and high-quality crowd, such as intellectuals, experts, scholars and lovers of international current affairs.
Although the ratings could not go up because the program was too professional, and finally the CCTV reform program was suspended, it was still the most authoritative program of that era. Just from the host Shui Yijun, who interviewed more than 70 world leaders, you can see the influence of the program.
As early as April, Shui Yijun personally sent an invitation letter to interview Shao Shuaijun, who was filming in the United States at the time, and made an appointment to be interviewed after returning to China in May. It wasn't until this Labor Day that I took the time. Sitting in the interview hall.
On May 2nd, the interview began.
Arriving at the scene, Shui Yijun had been waiting for a long time: "Director Shao, welcome, it's a pleasure to be able to do it face-to-face with you and chat." ”
"Me too."
From the moment he entered the door, the camera began to shoot, Shao Shuaijun had no expression on his face, and sat on a chair under the leadership of Shui Yijun and the staff. Then the staff came over and put on a microphone for him.
Adjust the focal length of the camera. Everything was ready, and Shui Yijun opened with the interview script in one hand: "Before the interview begins, I have to mention it. You were born in '86. He is only 22 years old this year. So young. How do you feel about the great success in your career, tell us about it? ”
Shao Shuaijun was dressed very formally. Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his hair is meticulously combed, and he rarely wears a red tie, which looks handsome and handsome. Squeezed out a little smile and said: "I graduated from high school at the age of seventeen and went to Hengdian, before that, I never thought that one day I would gain so much." I thought about finding an opportunity to act while learning directing knowledge, and one day I became a director myself. When you have something to gain, you will ask for more and achieve bigger dreams. ”
"What kind of dream is a bigger dream?"
"The bigger dream than being a director is, of course, to be a good director."
"Is it a famous director who is bigger than a good director?"
"So to speak."
Shui Yijun glanced at the interview script: "Since you made movies, you have always been shrouded in an aura of miracles, your movies are basically all big sellers, and the shooting speed is also very fast, plus the screenwriter's works, there are even more." How do you see your talents? ”
"Talent is a thing that is difficult to define, we know that there was Fang Zhongyong in ancient times, Fang Zhongyong was talented, and he could compose poetry when he was a child, but when he grew up, he was not known to everyone. Why is it so obscure to everyone, because he only cares about showing off his literary talents, and has no follow-up study and efforts. Didn't Edison say that genius is one percent inspiration, plus ninety-nine percent perspiration. A person's talent is also composed of such a thing, a little talent plus a lot of hard work. ”
"Do you consider yourself a hard worker? A lot of people think you're gifted to all of this? ”
"I never deny that I'm a little more talented than others, and I have a lot of inspiration in my head. But it's like a dream, isn't the dream wonderful, beyond imagination? Why do some people turn these dreams into his movies, while others can only see them as troubles? Because while some people complain, others are acting. A lot of people see my success, but they don't see my dedication. ”
"What kind of pay?"
"As far as making movies is concerned, the director is definitely the hardest one. Audiences only need to spend the money of a movie ticket, and sometimes even only need to spend an internet fee, to enjoy the wonderful two hours, and then reminisce for a long, long time. But as for the director, you first need to find the theme, and then revise the script, divide the shots, find investment, approve the project, prepare the crew, and select the role, all of this tedious work is in private, and it usually takes more than a month of high-intensity preparation, who can see the hard work? ”
"It's really hard, and it's not known to outsiders."
"The crew is set up, you have to start directing, explain the shots to the actors, and then the actors and staff call it a day, and the director has to go and check the copies to prepare for the next day's reshoot. For example, when I was filming "Inception", the director team was the latest to go to bed and the first to get up every day, and the sleep time of three hours a day lasted for more than three months, which was very sad. Of course, some people may ask, why don't you take a break? When the crew starts moving, you can't stop, because you have a day off, and the cost of tens of thousands of dollars a day, how much waste is included in the cost, just like the cameras we rent, it costs more than 100,000 dollars a day, as well as props, venues, labor, and all other costs, all of which force you to complete the most things in the fastest time, which is why the movie brings the audience two hours of enjoyment. ”
……
The interview accepted on the 2nd will be broadcast on CCTV at 8 o'clock in the evening on Sunday 4 on the 1st in prime time. In the CCTV news of the day, this message was broadcast: "International director Shao Shuaijun No. 4 will be a guest on "High-end Interview" and talk about his life dreams, welcome to watch." ”
When it was broadcast, Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu had just finished eating at home, sitting on the sofa together, hugging and watching TV.
"He is the youngest international director, and his films have achieved top 10 results at the global box office. He is a frontrunner in the entertainment industry. He is also a leader in the Internet field, and he has his own multinational company. He was both a director and an entrepreneur, and his films set the trend of the times, and his company's stock doubled twenty-two times after it went public. ”
On TV, there were pictures of Shao Shuaijun's director's play, interviews, etc., and then switched to the film: "Shao Shuaijun, "High-end Interview" will take you to talk about your dreams with him. ”
Shui Yijun appeared in the picture: "Hello audience friends, welcome to watch "High-end Interview", the interview object of this issue is the great director Shao Shuaijun. About Shao Shuaijun, I think many people have heard of him. At the age of eighteen, he began making films. In more than four years, it has brought us a lot of wonderful movies. I think that the director who is the same age as Shao Shuaijun is depressed, because he can always take all the honor on his head. Engrave your name in the history of cinema. From "33 Days of Broken Love" to "Painted Skin". and then to Inception. The box office of Chinese movies has been refreshed and maintained by him again and again. Throughout commercial movies, Shao Shuaijun is a well-deserved king. Next, let's walk into Shao Shuaijun's movie kingdom. ”
At the end of the film, he entered the interview, when Shao Shuaijun talked about the hard work of filming. Li Xiuxiu asked distressedly: "Ah Jun, you're so tired from making movies, can't you take a good rest for a while, just treat it as accompanying me." ”
Shao Shuaijun hugged Li Xiuxiu in his arms and kissed her forehead: "Wait for two years, the movies I am in a hurry to shoot are all finished, so I can relax, now many movies are not made, it is a pity to put it in my heart." ”
"Listen to you, but be sure to take care of your body. Alas, I don't even want to be a general manager anymore, I really want to be by your side, take care of you, and cook for you every day, instead of eating those restaurant meals. ”
"When Dream Chaser Entertainment is stable, you can work online, so where I go to shoot movies, you can also come along, right?"
"Well, I will also be a director in the future, and I will be an assistant director for you, what do you say?"
"Do you know how to make a movie, do you know what a storyboard is?"
"Hey, hey, you're underestimating me!"
While the two were frolicking, "High-End Interview" continued, and the topic of talent and diligence ended, and Shui Yijun asked: "As a director, you are very successful, and as the boss of the company, you are also very successful." Dream Entertainment Group is now a very diversified group company, involved in the entertainment industry and the Internet industry, how do you plan the layout of Dream Catcher? ”
Shao Shuaijun said with a smile: "Our country's entertainment industry started relatively late, but we have such a huge population base, which is an advantage that no country or region has." With the rapid development of the country's economy and the improvement of people's material life, they will inevitably begin to seek the quality of their spiritual life. On this basis, the boom of the entertainment industry is predictable, and what Dream Chaser has to do is to cover all areas of the industry and provide the best entertainment products. This is also the layout of the pan-entertainment industry chain that we advocate, we started late, so only by gathering all our strength can we emerge and face more problems without shaking ourselves. ”
"Is it possible to understand it from the perspective of anti-risk?"
"It can be said that a listed company can only ensure the stability of the company if it has more profitable projects. If you simply invest in movies, it is too risky, after all, we don't know if a movie will make a profit. But if you do the industrial chain, from production, investment, to downstream screenings and peripherals, such an omni-channel sales, you can minimize the risk. ”
"What do you think about investing in the Internet?"
"The development of the Internet is obvious to all, and with the pace of development, it is also more and more intersecting with the entertainment industry. This is a kind of blending, and the Internet is an indispensable component of dream-chasing to build a pan-entertainment industry chain. ”
"The development of Time.com has only been more than two years, relying on many websites under Time.com and Time.com, surpassing more Internet companies that get up early, how did you do it?"
"Looking a little ahead, focusing more on the needs of people's livelihood, this is my understanding of being an Internet company."
"In such an entertainment environment in China now, what are the aspects that need to be improved and perfected, such as film censorship and so on."
Shao Shuaijun thought for a while: "There are many irregularities in the current review system, some of which are strict, and some of which are relaxed. For example, we don't have a movie rating system, and some excellent movies may not be able to pass the review and release because they involve violence, gore and humanity, which has to be said to be a pity. In addition, the state's guidance for the entertainment industry is missing, and it cannot be avoided through review alone, but should guide the participants and audiences of the industry. Now when many children grow up, we will see such and such a bad atmosphere, why, because they are exposed to different things, they have seen too many fights and killings, they must have violent tendencies, and they have seen too many life and death grudges, and their hearts will definitely be distorted. ”
"How to change the right way?"
"It's better to block than to sparse, if we want to develop a commercial entertainment environment, then we can't just rely on prohibition to block. More should be entertainment content that supports righteousness, or has a positive guiding effect on the growth of young people. Let me give you an example, is it necessary to increase the input-output ratio of inspirational programs, or should better time periods be arranged for more positive entertainment content? During the leisure time period for teenagers and children, is it as little as possible to screen this kind of content of fighting, killing, and love? ”
Shao Shuaijun on TV talked eloquently, and on the sofa, Li Xiuxiu asked softly: "Is it idealized?" ”
Shao Shuaijun shook his head amusedly: "It's indeed idealized, how can I say it, I say this, it is also in line with the topic of radio and television, and in line with the above meaning." In the past few years, the entertainment industry has been a little unstoppable, and the atmosphere of arrogance and obscenity has become heavier and heavier. As far as I am concerned, I also feel that the country should guide, promote righteousness, and encourage positive energy, which is particularly important for the growth of the next generation. The one-sided pursuit of ratings and the pursuit of commercial interests is indeed very polluting to the environment, we adults don't care, when the worldview of children has not yet taken shape, it will ruin a lifetime if it is affected by this unhealthy trend. Our main theme is not more, but less. ”
Many people think that the main theme of the country is filmed a large number of times every year in order to whitewash the peace and whitewash the darkness of politics. In fact, it is wrong, and it is more about cultivating a positive atmosphere. It is true that there is a lot of darkness in society, and it is not an exaggeration to eat people, but children need a correct, optimistic and positive environment for growth.
Doesn't it ruin the children's worldview if the main theme is not played on TV, and every day it is broadcast to kill Matt Youth, Korean brothers and sisters, and Japanese anime.
Whether Shao Shuaijun is angry or hypocritical, he insists that no matter how dark the world is, give it to the children, even if it is just a lamp, and tell them that the world is bright. When the heart is lit up, the world is lit up. (To be continued......)
