Chapter 106: Trample That Ship Under Your Feet!

The moment "Time Magazine" and Huayi Company made an appointment for an interview, Huayi Company took a big step forward from the atmosphere that was about to cheer up, and almost all the artists under Huayi couldn't believe it, because the person "Time Magazine" wanted to interview was not Wang Zhongjun, but Shao Yingying.

In 1996, the princess became the first mainland artist to land on Times magazine. 'Queen of Pop', was comprehensively reported on the princess's journey of becoming popular;In 2001, Shu Qi became the second Chinese artist to land in Times magazine, and the magazine even opened five pages for her to describe her ever-changing acting skills;In 2005, Time Magazine planned to let mainland artists once again appear on the stage facing the world on October 31, and the artist they originally booked was Li Yuchun, but from the end of the Chinese New Year in 2005 to the present, the entire domestic entertainment news page has been promoted by Huayi Company and Shao Yingying, so they changed their chosen goal。

For this reason, Time Magazine also gave a reason, and the reason they gave was that Shao Yingying had dominated the mainland small screen market in the past two to three years, and this sign has not seen any collapse so far, and it is likely to continue to rule.

As soon as this news appeared, Wang Zhongjun was even moved, he dominated Huayi for so many years and failed to alarm "Time Magazine", why did Shao Yingying come to the door less than half a year after he became the owner?

Jealousy is jealousy, envy is envy, and now Shao Yingying's appearance in "Time Magazine" is no longer his own business, which is related to Yu Huayi's face. From the day the other party made an appointment, Shao Yingying, who was planning to set up a group to shoot "Wang Gui and Anna", stopped all plans under Wang Zhongjun's full persuasion and began to learn the set of social etiquette abroad. Start trying on different suits, ties, shirts, and shoes every day.

The time is getting closer and closer, and Wang Zhongjun is getting more and more nervous when he is busy with Shao Yingying's business, as if he is going to be featured in Time Magazine.

Finally, the time came for the ugly daughter-in-law to meet her in-laws, and the reporter of "Time Magazine" was welcomed into Huayi's company in June like a VIP, and Wang Zhongjun even gave up his office for the convenience of the interview, saying that Shao Yingying's small office would give Huayi a loss of face.

Shao Yingying, wearing an Armani suit, met a Time magazine reporter wearing a T-shirt. There was an English translator standing next to him, and all the qiΔ“ were very solemn, just. He didn't think that the reporters of Time magazine would feel a little ...... Hate, he specifically picked out some scars that other domestic journalists would not be able to ask about.

"Mr. Shao, can we start the interview?"

The reporter with a golden beard is called Steven, and he is about the same height as Shao Yingying. The figure is a little bloated. The round-rimmed glasses on his face make him look like a very common otaku.

Shao Yingying nodded and said, "You can start at any time." ”

Steven took out a voice recorder and put it on the table, and asked very politely and formally, "Is it okay?" Technology allows us to abandon the clutter of handwriting and make mistakes less easily. ”

"Of course."

Steven pulled out the transcript of the interview from the briefcase he was carrying, and at the same time, pressed the switch of the voice recorder. The qiΔ“ he made was very in line with the procedure, and even Shao Yingying had a slight impression of Steven at this time.

Steven successfully continued Shao Yingying's favor, and he asked Shao Yingying about his confusion when he debuted and who was promoted. How to be grateful, etc., and asked how a series of TV dramas that achieved incredible results in the mainland came about. What kind of inspiration did it come from, but these questions began to become acute as they were asked, and the first question that made Shao Yingying feel uncomfortable was about competition in the industry.

"Mr. Shao, there will be a lot of competition between actors in Hollywood and American TV stations, this kind of competition is not only on the stage, but also may be under the stage, that is to say, the entertainment industry is not an avenue of stars that you can walk out of with hard work, have you ever encountered similar competition, and under this competition, have you used any unacceptable means?"

This question may make the interview more real, but it makes Shao Yingying wary, how does he feel that Steven is a bit of a digger to dig up inside information?

When "Time Magazine" used the princess as the cover, it was a lot of praise, and later Shu Qi and Li Lianjie were also extremely praised, could it be that these guys are tired of boasting, this time they want to do the opposite, and dig out the rumors in the circle by themselves?

"I'm so sorry, Steven, I'm probably the lucky guy, I only had a small bump in my debut, and I didn't touch anything else that you said. Of course, there will be competition, for example, when I played Bai Jingqi in "The Gate of the Mansion", I faced competition from many actors, but that drama made me an instant hit, and from now on, I don't need competition. ”

Killing Shao Yingying will not say gossip in the circle, let alone 'It didn't happen to me, but I can tell you a little secret about so-and-so and so-and-so TV series' After the "Time Magazine" is published, he will become a public enemy in the entertainment industry.

Steven was a little dissatisfied, took a special look at Shao Yingying, and shrugged helplessly: "I have heard a lot of rumors about the entertainment industry here, saying that actresses will pay their bodies for a certain play, and male actors will run around all day for a relationship......"

"Rumors, Mr. Steven, I must solemnly state that I admit that there is indeed a rumor that actors are looking for connections everywhere in order to act, but the actress you said about giving her body to act must be a rumor, at least I haven't heard of it...... Also, I haven't seen it. ”

This will make Shao Yingying have to talk nonsense even if he grits his teeth, this group of bastards in the circle has already thrown people to the other side of the world, but people came to look for evidence in the name of interviews, which made Shao Yingying a little unacceptable.

β€œOK,OK,OK,ANYWAY。” Steven hurriedly said, "Please Mr. Shao relax, this is just a very casual interview." ”

This time Shao Yingying understood the lines, he had watched "Heart Flower Road", in that play. Even people who don't understand what this sentence means in English can see it from Xu Zheng's demeanor: "Am I nervous? He pretended to be relaxed, but what else could he do?

"Then let's talk about something else, like your website." Steven finally brought the conversation to the point: "Lately, the number of hits to your website has been growing exponentially. This website has not only brought business to the actors, but has even attracted countless fans, why was this website created and when did it start planning? ”

"It was by accident that I found a video website, and at that time I was still the owner of 'Shao Yingying Studio', not the 'chairman of Huayi'. I think this video site can promote our studio, and it can put our TV series on it to attract viewers who haven't watched it. Then I thought that it would be a good way to introduce the artist to the audience, and they could first look for their favorite face and find out the TV series that the actor had acted in. Give full play to the fan effect, and at the same time, it can also cultivate talents for Huayi, such as Feng Shaofeng. He's the new blood we've dug up on the site. ”

Steven quickly ended the topic when he heard Shao Yingying's tirade. This is not the focus of his interview, he has already obtained the qiΔ“ he wants, such as Shao Yingying's road to fame, and the next thing is to see if he can dig up more impactful news.

"This is a very interesting website, Mr. Shao, can I ask you why you have developed so well on the small screen and suddenly turned to the big screen?"

"Every actor has the idea of being on the big screen, but when he is a young actor, the time is not ripe. Now I think the time is right. ”

Steven's next question made Shao Yingying furious, which touched his dignity!

Steven glanced at Shao Yingying's expression with his eyes before asking the question. When Shao Yingying responded with a smile, he had the guts.

"Mr. Shao, the next question I want to ask is likely to be a problem that every film practitioner in your country must face, this question...... It's a bit of an awkward feeling to the friendly atmosphere right now, but I can't escape it from the work ethic. He shrugged his shoulders again, proving his helplessness, as if it were a question that had to be asked.

Shao Yingying's answer when he saw Steven's expression was: "It's best not to ask." ”

"I'm so sorry." Steven still insisted, "I must ask." ”

"In 2001, the island nation's "Spirited Away" broke the miracle of "Titanic", although it is still far from the total box office of "Titanic", but they set a new record in their homeland; Last year, "Tai Chi Flag Flying" also refreshed the box office record of Stick Country, and like "Spirited Away", they created a local box office miracle, and did not achieve the effect of "Titanic" in the total box office. Shao Yingying already knew what he was going to say, and his face was gradually changing, and Steven became nervous because of Shao Yingying's complexion: "Among the three neighboring countries, only here, "Titanic" still holds high the banner of the top box office, and "Hero" used to be infinitely close, but it ended in failure...... As far as I know, Mr. Shao is the record holder for the highest ratings on the small screen, and according to the fact that the ratings of TV dramas have generally declined here, you are likely to be the record holder for a long time, so, when you turn to the film market, have you ever thought that there is a big ship moored overhead? Have you ever wondered when this ship will be shaken? ”

Silently, Shao Yingying stared at Steven's face, blinking again and again, but the direction of his gaze never changed.

"Titanic is a miracle." When Shao Yingying said this, his eyes were a little cold, and he didn't have the slightest fanaticism.

After these words, the ice in Shao Yingying's eyes began to dissolve: "But do you know that all the miracle records in this world are used to break?" 100 meters, jumps, overhead, football, basketball, tennis, rugby, ice hockey, no sport or other industry records will be held forever. ”

Shao Yingying's eyes began to show a challenging gaze: "I admit, once I step on the big screen and look up, I can see that ship, Mr. Steven, I want you to record this passage in all the interviews, because from today onwards, I don't care what other Chinese think, I will launch the first challenge to this ship, I want to challenge the record it has set in the mainland!" ”

At this moment, he became hot, like a kind of paranoia, and like a man who should have faced the challenge: "When I break this record on our land, the next step, I will wait for the opportunity, I will not be arrogant enough to challenge the total box office of "Titanic" immediately, I will accumulate my own strength......"

"Five, ten, fifteen, or even twenty years!"

"As long as I'm alive, I'll have this ship under my feet before I die!"

"Drop-off!!" (To be continued......)
