"Hello Xiao Sheng, my surname is Li Mingyun, I am a reporter from Ming Pao, and I am honored to participate in the press conference of "Mr. Zombie". A mature woman in a women's suit with a rather beautiful appearance stood up and said politely.

Xiao Jian stretched out his hand to take the microphone, the other party was polite, he naturally would not be rude, nodded with a smile: "Hello, I am also honored to be able to accept your interview." ”

A polite word was exchanged and the interview officially began.

With a smile on his face, Li Yun asked solemnly: "Xiao Sheng, just from the name of your film this time, we can know that the movie you shot this time is a zombie-themed thriller, I don't know if my guess is right?" ”

glanced at the other party, Xiao Jian already knew what the other party wanted to ask, and couldn't help but secretly sigh that as long as he is a reporter, there is no simple role, and he is ruthless when he asks.

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Xiao Jian put the microphone to his mouth: ""Mr. Zombie" is a zombie movie, but I don't agree with it if you want to classify it as a thriller, on the contrary, because of the comedy, kung fu and other elements in it, this film really wants Mr. Hung's 'Psychedelic Kung Fu' movie." ”

"Comedy? Kung fu? Psychedelic kung fu movies? Regarding Xiao Jian's answer, Li Yun couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while, his brain was confused, and the question at the beginning was forgotten.

Coming back to her senses, Li Yun subconsciously asked: "Xiao Sheng, the zombie theme has always been equated with 'thriller', wouldn't it be inappropriate to add comedy elements to it?" Is there a guarantee for the box office? ”

smiled, although the confidence in his heart soared into the sky, Xiao Jian said politely on the surface: "Don't worry, I am sure that I will not let myself and the investor suffer at least for the box office, as for the 'thriller' or 'comedy' elements in the film, this is not a problem, after all, the film is not only an art, but also a pastime, it always needs to be innovative, and as long as you make it with your heart, the audience will buy it." ”

"Click--" In an instant, there was a shutter sound at the scene, and the light was dazzling.

When the photo was taken, Li Yun said, "Thank you, my question is finished." ”

In an instant, dozens of hands were raised on the scene like a primary school classroom.

Looking at Li Yun, who sat down and frowned, Xiao Jian couldn't help but laugh to himself, and he was even more complacent, he disrupted the other party's thoughts in a few words, so that he abandoned the previous difficult question, and followed his words to ask a topic that could be regarded as helping the promotion of the movie.

Of course, Xiao Jian is not afraid that he will not be able to answer the other party's difficult questions, but after all, a press conference like this is a kind of propaganda activity.

The film party is to promote the movie, but the reporter is different, what they want is not to help you promote the movie, but to have a topic, which can increase the sales of the newspaper and let you get a report of real interests, so the two parties are inherently opposites, and the press conference is the confrontation between the film party and the reporter, and whether you can get what you want depends on your own ability.

"In the third row, this gentleman who is fifth from the left, please ask the second question." Xiao Jian stretched out his hand and casually pointed at a reporter.

"Hello Xiao Sheng, my surname is Mu Mingfeng, I am a reporter from Xinhua Daily, and I hope the film will sell well." A man in his thirties got up and said with a smile.

"Thank you." Xiao Jian nodded politely, and didn't care too much about the politeness of the other party on the surface, you must know that don't look at these reporters being polite now, then asking questions is definitely more powerful than the other, and one makes you want to smoke him.

The smile on Mu Feng's face remained unchanged, and he asked solemnly: "Xiao Sheng, for this type of film, I don't know if you know that in 74 years, Shaw Brothers Film Company and the British company once cooperated to shoot a collection of Western blood-sucking zombies and the legend of 'Xiangxi Chasing Corpses' "Seven Golden Corpses", this film attracted a lot of attention at the time, the film was directed by the British, Liu Jialiang was the action designer, Jiang David, Liu Jiarong and others co-starred, it can be regarded as the first zombie film that combines local and foreign. But..."

Speaking of this, Mu Feng glanced at Xiao Jian with a smile, and then at Li Yun, who suddenly realized, and said again: "It's a pity that although the Shaw Brothers Company's promotional offensive for the film is strong, due to the strange style of the film and the mixed content, the audience can't accept it, and the box office finally failed miserably, and since then, few people in Hong Kong dare to touch zombie movies!" ”

Looking down at Li Yun, who was looking at him viciously below, Xiao Jian couldn't help but look away, he knew that the other party wanted to ask this question before, but he diverted the topic in order to promote the movie, so to speak, he offended the other party this time.

"Xiao Sheng, I don't know if you know these things, if you dare to challenge this subject if you know, then I have to admire Xiao Sheng's courage, if you don't know, hehe..."

Looking at the arrogant guy in front of him, Xiao Jian didn't get angry, this is a reporter, for the sake of topical news, the other party can provoke you on the spot without shame, and even, in order to provoke your anger, do anything without a lower limit.

Moreover, Xiao Jian bet that no matter what the question is, after the press conference, the other party will definitely talk to him with a smile on his face, but next time, the other party will definitely ask as much as he wants, and make it difficult for him as much as he wants.

Looking at Mu Feng, who wanted to provoke him, Xiao Jian smiled indifferently and said: "I have understood Mu Sheng's problem, after all, if you want to do this kind of off-the-beaten-path theme, if you don't understand the same type of film, it will definitely not be justified, I..."

Without waiting for Xiao Jian to continue, Mu Feng immediately interrupted: "Xiao Sheng, do you mean that you have the confidence to make "Mr. Zombie" not only a box office hit, but also a zombie-themed movie?" ”

"Click--" The flash was dazzling.

Looking at Mu Feng, who deliberately distorted the topic, and then looking at Xiao Jian, whose smile was somewhat restrained, an atmosphere of competition was instantly born at the scene, and everyone's eyes on the scene were instantly focused on the two of them.

Glancing at Mu Feng with a smug face, the smile on Xiao Jian's face was restored, he knew that if he couldn't keep his smile now, then tomorrow's newspaper would definitely look good, just like 'Xiao Jian's energy is narrow' and 'he despises reporters'... This kind of topical reporting will appear.

The other party wants to provoke him, make him lose his temper, and then lose his words, so as to get topical reports and get the benefits he wants, and Xiao Jian is the same, he also lets the other party promote the movie, so he must use his language, expressions, actions, etc. to create movie-related topics and let the other party report it.

However, while Xiao Jian is a director and producer, he is also a star, which makes him unable to have no lower limit for the sake of topicality and reporting, which is very detrimental to his reputation, so this makes him have to be more careful when facing reporters, and the difficulty is naturally greater.

"Ahem...."
