Chapter 278: Recording "Movie Heroes" (2)

The show continued to be recorded, Wang Yong asked Chen Yimou a few more questions, and Chen Yimou answered truthfully, such as what is the expected box office target for this movie, what are your expectations for this movie, and so on.

Chen Yimou is too rich in social experience, and when he encounters questions that he sometimes doesn't want to answer directly, he will use humorous words to uncover them, so that the three of them will not be embarrassed from time to time, this kind of language art, Luo Yang is indeed very envious, but it is not something that can be learned in a while.

"Well, I'm really embarrassed to ask Director Chen a question, and I unknowingly snubbed Mr. Luo Yang", chatting with Chen Yimou for a while, Wang Yong turned his gaze to Luo Yang, and said to Luo Yang with a smile.

"No, no"!

Luo Yang shook his hand and smiled slightly, indicating that he didn't mind.

"Well, Director Chen is also a frequent guest of our show, and we have asked many questions, including Director Chen's growth and glorious history, it is estimated that the audience in front of the TV knows better than me", Wang Yong said with a smile: "But Mr. Luo Yang is the first time to come to our show, then I will hand over the topic to Luo Yang, presumably Director Chen will not mind"!

Chen Yimou smiled slightly, signaling that it was okay, indeed as Wang Yong said, it is not the first time that Chen Yimou has been on this stage, plus Chen Yimou's status in the film industry, he will not mind this, not to mention that Luo Yang is still his student, Luo Yang can get more opportunities, and Chen Yimou will be very happy.

"Haode, thank you Director Chen for your tolerance", Wang Yong smiled, and then asked Luo Yang: "Mr. Luo Yang, this is your first time on our show, how do you feel"?

"It's very good, I often watch the show "Movie Man", it is a very authoritative program, and I like it very much, but I didn't expect that I would be able to sit here for an interview one day! How so? I feel very honored!"

Hearing Wang Yong's question, Luo Yang replied with a smile.

"Thank you Luo Yang for your compliment, we will work harder to make this show haode in the future", Wang Yong smiled and thanked: "Luo Yang, many people may not be familiar with your growth experience, can you tell us about what happened when you were a child?" Let everyone know more about you"?

"Well, upbringing"?

Luo Yang pondered for a while, and then organized his words and said: "Actually, my growth experience when I was a child is no different from others, the only difference is estimated to be that I have no parents since I was a child, and I grew up in an orphanage, but the teachers and directors of the orphanage are very kind to us, and there is also state funding for school, plus there is a group of playmates and brothers who play well, so I grew up happily"!

"Luo Yang, your mentality is very good, maybe this is the reason why you will succeed, as far as I know, many orphans or people with broken families like you are obsessed with their own experiences, and feel that God is unfair to them, zuihou likes to inflict their own pain on others, what do you think of these people, and what feelings do you want to share with people who have the same experience as you"?

"I've seen this kind of report too, what do you say"? Luo Yang thought for a while and said: "I think a person should hold a grateful heart, don't always complain, isn't there a saying, life closes a door to you, it will open a window for you, although you lose something, but maybe you will get more because of it, I hope that people who have the same experience as me don't drill the horns, and think more about the beauty of life."

"Very well said", Wang Yong and Chen Yimou both applauded Luo Yang's words in support.

"Xiexie", Luo Yang smiled slightly.

"Okay, let's change the topic, let's take a look at a group of photos first", Wang Yong snapped his fingers, and some old photos suddenly appeared on the screen above the stage, from Luo Yang's youth to college photos, the most are college photos.

"Hey, where did you get these childhood photos? Even I don't have it anymore"? Seeing these photos, Luo Yang was a little surprised, this was the first time he saw the photos of "himself" when he was a child, maybe the original Luo Yang was lost when he moved.

"Our program team is not in vain", Wang Yong smiled and said: "These are all found from your friends or orphanages, since Luo Yang and you don't have it yourself, speaking of which, you have to xiexie our program team to help you retrieve these precious photos!"

"Of course"!

Luo Yang nodded and said, "I just hope that when the program is recorded, the program team can let me take these photos away, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Although these photos are precious, they belong to Luo Yang and you, of course the program team won't mind", Wang Yong nodded and said with a smile.

"That's Xiexie", Luo Yang hurriedly thanked Wang Yong when he heard Wang Yong's words.

"Don't be in a hurry now, let's move on to the next topic", Wang Yong continued to ask: "According to our program team, Luo Yang, your major in college is business administration", with Wang Yong's words, a picture of Luo Yang smiling with his friends in college appeared on the screen: "Weishenme entered the entertainment industry after graduation, which doesn't seem to match your major, right?"

"Is this the case"? Luo Yang spread his hands and said: "You also know that I am an orphan, because the state sponsored me and gave me the opportunity to go to university, the idea at that time was that I hoped that I could find a haode job, so that haode could support myself, and no longer become a burden to others, that business administration major would be easier to find a job, so I picked this job"!

"Well, survival is the most important thing, we can understand this", Wang Yong listened to Luo Yang's words and nodded: "But you haven't told us that you will enter the entertainment industry"!

"Actually, this is the case, when we graduated, we thought that the business administration major was easy to find a job, but the reality gave us a hard blow", Luo Yang smiled and said: "Because of the national policy, the university has expanded its enrollment, and more and more people go to college, and because of the popularity of business administration, there are more people who study, and when we graduate, we found that we couldn't find a suitable job in the major we studied!" zuihou barely found a job, I really didn't like it very much, I rested at home for two months, and it happened that I wanted to sing and this competition started, I was also very interested in movies and music, so I entered the entertainment industry, and it was forced by life, I just wanted to find something to eat"! Luo Yang laughed when he said this.

"I didn't expect you to enter the entertainment industry for this reason? But it's very true", Wang Yong nodded and agreed with Luo Yang's words: "But Luo Yang, you didn't expect that entering the entertainment industry would be prosperous, speaking of which, I am also grateful that there are too many practitioners in the business administration industry, otherwise we will miss your genius in the entertainment industry", Wang Yong said this, haha laughed.

"This is very right", Chen Yimou, who was originally smiling and listening to the conversation between the two, heard this question, took Wang Yong's words, and said: "In recent years in our entertainment industry, there are indeed fewer and fewer channels to discover talents, and the scouts of entertainment companies have found a lot of handsome men and women, and the result is that talented people like Luo Yang have been covered up, which is really sad, if it weren't for the fact that there are many business administration practitioners, maybe Luo Yang is still working from 9 to 5."

After listening to Chen Yimou's words, Luo Yang and Wang Yong both nodded, but they couldn't say anything, after all, Chen Yimou was qualified to say these things, Luo Yang and Wang Yong were not good.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and Wang Yong said: "Director Chen said very well, but the general environment is like this, and we can't change it, we can only hope that people in the entertainment industry will work hard in the future and slowly correct these problems."

Chen Yimou only heard Wang Yong's words, sighed, and knew that Luo Yang and Wang Yong were not easy to answer, so he didn't say much, nodded, and didn't continue to speak.

"Let's talk about "District 9" next, Luo Yang, you are the screenwriter of this movie, I want to ask you what was the reason for creating this script at that time? I've seen a lot of film critics' comments about this movie, saying that the discussion of this movie about human nature has been deep to the bone, I don't know if you would create it like this at that time"?

"The reason for the creation of this movie, it's just an accident, I suddenly liked science fiction movies for a while, so I watched a lot of alien-themed movies, but what made me very depressed was that the aliens in the movie were almost invincible existences, bringing people all kinds of disasters, zuihou heroes came out and saved mankind in the most dangerous can! After watching some movies like this, I felt that it was too old-fashioned, so I wanted to create my own sci-fi film, which was just to vent my anger, weishenme aliens always abuse us, can't we abuse them? Because of this idea, the basic prototype of "District 9" came out, as for the film critics said that this movie explores human nature and other things, in fact, I didn't think so much at the time, so I wrote it casually, it can be said that this script is actually very rough, but fortunately, it was later taken by Mr. Chen, and he revised a lot of places with rich experience, which led to the later "District 9"! I don't dare to take credit for that", Luo Yang replied with a smile.

"A classic written by accident"? Wang Yong spread his hands and said incredulously: "It turns out that this movie was born like this, it's incredible"!

"Otherwise, I don't have that much experience to write about the good and evil of human nature," Luo Yang replied with a smile.

"Okay, I understand, although it's a bit incredible, but it's also very realistic", Wang Yong nodded and said: "It's just this script written inadvertently, and now it has created a box office of 540 million in a single week, I remember reading a report before, Luo Yang, you claimed that the box office target of this movie is 1 billion, and now it is only a week, and half of the goal has been achieved, so do you have any new expectations for this movie"?

"Of course there is, that is, I hope that the box office will be a little higher, and I hope to hit the awards of next year's Academy Awards, this is the biggest wish of me and Director Chen", Luo Yang said with a smile.

"Huaguo film is too far away from the Academy Awards", Wang Yong shook his head with a sigh and said: "But "District 9" does give us hope, I hope you can achieve this goal."

"Xiexie", Chen Yimou and Luo Yang both expressed their gratitude to Wang Yong for his blessings.
