Prun David's words can be said to have provoked a thousand surfs, the one just now was actually just a casual question, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain, not to mention these reporters at this time, even Shakru was a little curious, could it be that Pran Davy really knew who was going to assassinate him?

The reporter who asked the question just now immediately asked excitedly: "Ms. Dai Wei, who is going to assassinate you?" At this time, he was extremely excited, feeling that an explosive news was about to be born from his hands, and tomorrow's headlines on the front page would be his own, and bonuses and promotions would definitely be indispensable at that time, and he could also suppress the arrogance of the old guy who always showed off in front of him, and the beauties of the literary supplement might also look up to themselves because of this

Just when he was dreaming of a promotion and a salary increase, marrying Bai Fumei, and reaching the pinnacle of his life, he didn't expect to be poured a basin of cold water on his face, only to see Puran Davy shook his head and said: "I don't know who it is, this aspect will wait for the results of the police interrogation, but it is certain that these two people should be the same people who tried to hit me with a car a few days ago." A week ago, someone sent me a posthumous letter, saying that they wanted to avenge the relatives I had killed, hmph, in my opinion, this is just an excuse, this is that some people are not used to me as a Dalit to become a member of Congress, so they want to get rid of me! ”

Shakru saw that Puran Davy was getting more and more excited, for fear that she would make things bigger by talking too much, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Ms. Dai Wei was frightened just now, and her emotions are still a little excited, and she needs time to calm down, let's talk about the movie "Bandit Queen" for now, after all, this is the premiere press conference of the movie. ”

In fact, these reporters didn't dare to ask any more questions, because political issues are not as good as entertainment gossip, and they can rely on their nonsense, and once there is a mistake in political speech, it is not only the reporter himself who is unlucky, but the entire newspaper has to be implicated, so after seeing Shakru divert the topic, the reporters also began to turn the object of the interview to him.

"Mr. Pandit, the subject matter of this film is so sensitive and alternative, did you consider being restricted before filming?"

"We are a democratic country in India, and all legitimate speech is free, so I never thought that I would be restricted from screening, and the facts have proved that the review process was very smooth, and it was approved in only three days, so I am here to advise all my peers that everyone can do not have any worries when they make films in the future." Although Shakru's words were impassioned, but in fact, his heart was also beating the drum, this time "The Bandit Queen" was able to pass the review, completely because of the convergence of various reasons, but it is not universal at all, but he can only say this, so as to highlight the democratization and efficiency of the government, and on the other hand, it is also to pave the way for his future shooting of sensitive films.

"Mr. Pandeit, our current mainstream films are mainly song and dance films and romance films, and documentary films like "The Bandit Queen" are not popular in the market, have you considered the box office in advance? Also, in how many languages do you plan to use for production? ”

Perhaps everyone's deepest impression of Indian movies is the ubiquitous singing and dancing, basically half of the three-hour movie has to be danced, as if the characters in the plot can use this as an excuse to dance no matter what happens. "I'm getting married today, I'm so happy, let's jump together; My girlfriend is married, but the groom is not me, I can also dance a part! Although these are ridicules, they are also the current state of Indian cinema.

The main reasons for this phenomenon are two points: first, the education popularization of the Indian people is not high, and many people are illiterate; The second is that there are too many languages in India, not to mention the ordinary people with low education, and even high-caste people cannot master all of these dozen languages.

Therefore, in order to take care of those audiences who can't understand and understand, the film can only greatly increase the song and dance plot during the production, after all, dance and song are the most direct means of communication, and they are not limited by language. Of course, this is not all the reason for the big song and dance plot, but also the factor of maintaining the duration and recovering the cost. (The average Indian movie will be more than three hours long, otherwise the audience won't buy it, and it won't be that long without singing and dancing; Ticket prices for movies in India are very low, and many producers recoup their costs by selling CDs of the film's soundtracks).

Shakru pondered for a moment and replied, "For the sake of the target market, this film has only been produced in English, and I do not plan to make versions in other languages. As for the box office, I believe that the revenue from the overseas box office will make me very satisfied. ”

"May I ask Mr. Pandeit, did you invest in the film this time occasionally, or do you plan to formally form a company and enter the film industry in the future?" The reporters who asked this question were arranged in advance by Shakru, specifically to ask some questions he wanted to answer, and at the same time guide public opinion, which was an extremely common phenomenon in various press conferences in previous lives, and even some press conferences attended all the reporters were arranged by the organizers.

Because he had been prepared for this, Shakru cleared his throat and said very imposingly: "This "Bandit Queen" is the first work of our Polaris Film Company, and our second work is also in the script creation period, and it is expected to be officially filmed in the middle of next year, and strive to promote Indian films to Asia and the world! ”

"Is the subject of your next film the caste system?" Another reporter asked.

Although in essence, "The Bandit Queen" reflects the issue of caste, he will never admit it, so he waved his hand and said: "Absolutely not, the people who will focus on the next movie will be raised from the lowest level of people in India to the highest level of existence, but the specific content will be kept secret now." I must also correct you that this "Bandit Queen" is not a caste theme, but an experimental film in the nature of a documentary. ”
