Chapter 528: Interview
The Golden Jun Mei Award Ceremony is over, and it is very late.
There were also many reporters guarding the venue, wanting to interview the award-winning guests as soon as possible.
It was too late, and Fang Xing didn't want to be dragged by the reporter for an hour, so he hurriedly got into the car and left the venue.
When I got home, it was already early in the morning.
Lu Xianger fell asleep on the sofa, and the end of the award ceremony was still playing on the TV.
Apparently watched the awards ceremony all the time and then fell asleep on the couch.
Fang Xing walked over and picked her up.
Lu Xiang'er woke up and made a scaring action: "Dangdang!" ”
But at first glance, he still looks sleepy-eyed.
Fang Xing felt funny and said, "If you are sleepy, go to bed first, I said that I would definitely be late when I came back tonight." ”
Lu Xiang'er pursed her lips and said, "Anyway, I want to watch the live broadcast, and I'll wait while watching." ”
"And then I fell asleep on the couch." Fang Xing carried her back to the room and put her on the bed.
Lu Xiang'er grinned, got off the bed barefoot, and said, "I haven't washed yet, I'm going to be a delicate pig girl today." ”
As she spoke, she went into the bathroom and started to wash up, and then put on a mask.
Fang Xing took a quick bath.
Attending the award ceremony, it seems that I haven't done anything, but I have to work all day, and I am quite tired.
Lu Xiang'er came out with a mask and asked, "Where is the trophy?" I've seen you win the prize, so let me see. ”
She walked to the living room and pulled out two trophies from a cardboard box.
One is the Best TV Drama Award and the other is the Best Director Award.
She picked it up and admired it carefully, then took it into the study, ready to find a place to put it.
Fang Xing came out of the shower, saw her wiping the cabinet in the study, and said with a smile: "The Best TV Drama Award will be brought to the company tomorrow, the honor that belongs to the crew, it is more appropriate to put it in the company." ”
Lu Xiang'er thought for a moment and said, "That's right." ”
After she finished speaking, she looked at the trophies placed in the bookcase, and sighed leisurely: "Golden Melody Awards, Best Actor, Best Director, there are really any awards." ”
She said, wiping a trophy from the bookcase with a towel, and coughed.
When Fang Xing saw her expression, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "Yes, yes, this trophy has the highest gold content, an international competition trophy." ”
Lu Xiang'er was even happier in her heart.
She doesn't have many trophies, but the trophy of the Paganini International Violin Competition is indeed the honor she cares about the most.
She thought for a while and said, "By the way, I am preparing for next year's Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition, and I will participate in the competition with "Liang Zhu", do you think I can win the prize?" ”
Fang Xing thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't this competition going to be contested with Tchaikovsky's violin music?" ”
Lu Xiang'er nodded and replied: "Yes, the second and third rounds will be contested with Tchaikovsky's pieces, but the third will play two pieces, one is "Concerto in D major", and the other can be selected by other composers. ”
Many international violin competitions are named after famous violinists and composers, and these competitions sometimes have special rules.
For example, the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition stipulates that the second and third rounds of the competition must be contested with Tchaikovsky's violin music.
Of course, the competition also gave the contestants autonomy, and one of the two competition pieces in the third round of the competition was optional.
In fact, Fang Xing is not sure whether "Liang Zhu" has an advantage in participating in international competitions.
However, this is an opportunity for culture to go global.
Whether or not he can win the award, Fang Xing will support it.
"I'll go with you then."
……
The next day.
Fang woke up late, and only after waking up at ten o'clock did he procrastinate to go to the company, and by the way, he took the best TV series award he won last night back to the company's showroom.
When I arrived at the door of the company, I found that many reporters were guarding the door and asked for interviews.
At the end of the Jin Junmei Awards Ceremony last night, the reporter blocked many award-winning guests for interviews, but Fang Xing slipped away relatively quickly, so the reporter did not interview.
Now Fang Xing has even won important awards such as Best TV Series and Best Director, and he is the one who stands on the cusp of entertainment news.
How could an entertainment reporter let go of this kind of breaking news, so they all wanted to get Fang Xing's interview news as soon as possible.
Fang Xing entered the company directly from the basement and was not blocked by reporters.
However, after arriving at the company.
Qiao Yinghong reminded: "Boss, the reporter has been waiting outside all morning, do you want to be interviewed?" ”
Fang Xing replied casually: "Didn't you just interview yesterday?" ”
"It was an interview after the red carpet, and after winning the award, there was no interview."
Qiao Yinghong paused and added: "Among them, there are many cooperative reporters who send me messages, hoping to interview first-hand news, why don't you take the time to answer a few questions?" ”
Fang Xing looked at the time and said, "Okay." Call all the reporters in, and it's time for lunch after the interview. ”
Thereupon.
The assistant invited the reporter from the lobby to the conference room.
Fang Xing was already sitting in the conference room waiting.
Qiao Yinghong asked people to send water to media reporters and said, "Everyone has worked hard, drink some water first." Fang Xing was tired last night, got up late today, and just arrived at the company. Let's start the interview right away, and let's take turns asking questions. ”
With that, she handed the microphone to the nearest reporter.
The questions that the reporter wants to ask are basically the same, and they are all related to last night's Jin Junmei Award Ceremony.
Reporter: "Director Fang, you have won the best director of the three major TV drama awards, and you will be a big director in the future, what do you want to say?" ”
Fang Xing thought for a moment and replied, "There's nothing special, the main thing is that my director team is relatively good." ”
As he spoke, Fang Xing gestured to Zhang Yigao next to him and introduced: "This is my assistant director, and he is responsible for shooting many shots." ”
During the filming of "Dark Glory", Fang Xing also participated in the live broadcast of the finals of the second season of "The Voice of China".
When he is not in the crew, Zhang Yigao is mainly responsible for directing work.
This division of labor is common in the TV drama industry.
Sometimes, in order to catch up with the filming schedule, the director and assistant director will lead the team separately and shoot in different places.
The more mature the crew, the more common this division of labor model becomes.
Fang Xing added: "You can also interview my assistant director, in fact, he is fully capable of shooting TV series alone, and in my team, he can be regarded as a condescending talent." ”
Zhang Yigao hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, Director Fang has a good reputation, I followed Director Fang, and I realized how small I was, and I learned a lot from Director Fang." ”
Most of the entertainment reporters present knew Zhang Yigao's resume.
Zhang Yigao once filmed a small online drama, but then he pounced on two dramas in a row, and then the film and television investment company lost confidence in him.
Since then, he has only received some work as an assistant director, and has never picked up a guide tube again.
During that most lonely time, Zhang Yigao experienced a lot, and even wanted to leave the industry for a while.
It's just that this is what he studied, he was born in a professional class, and he wants to change careers to do something else, and he has no experience, let alone funds.
Therefore, he worked as an assistant director in the crew, and even worked as a chorre in the crew, which lasted for several years, until he was in his thirties, and he did not find a chance to turn over.
Until Fang Xing was preparing for "The Beginning", he needed to find a director from a professional class to cooperate, and he talked to many directors in the industry, but there was no suitable one.
This gave Zhang Yigao the opportunity to enter the Ark culture.
In fact.
When preparing for "The Beginning", Ark Culture had already filmed "Wulin Gaiden", and it was a great success.
At that time, there were many second-tier or even first-tier directors who were interested in the new drama prepared by Fang Xing.
After all, there has been a popular TV series, and the new drama will definitely attract the attention of the industry.
Therefore, at that time, Fang Xing saw many second-tier and even first-line directors.
These directors are also willing to take on the drama "The Beginning", but only if they direct it alone.
What Fang Xing wants is a dual-director system, which does not meet the expectations of these famous directors, so naturally they can't talk about it.
There is basically no shortage of jobs for directors above the second tier in the industry, and as long as they come up with good projects, they will definitely be able to attract investment.
Even if they don't prepare film and television projects themselves, there will be film and television companies that hire them to direct.
When the director can reach the level above the second line, he has a little temper.
Therefore, when Fang Xing said that he wanted a dual-director system, these directors who had become famous were unwilling to take on this job.
It is in this case.
Zhang Yigao came to Ark Culture for an interview.
At that time, his resume was not pretty, he filmed a small and popular low-cost online drama, and then he continued to hit the streets, and finally could only work as an assistant director in the crew.
Like him, this is very common in the film and television industry.
There are so many directing graduates who graduate from film schools every year, but there are not many who can really make TV series.
Most of the directing graduates are already very good if they can receive commercials and MVs.
If you can save up a low-cost web drama, it will already be a touted existence in the industry.
Zhang Yigao was in his small circle, and he used to be a person who had filmed TV series, but he never got the opportunity to be a director for ten years.
That's how fierce the competition is in this industry.
Zhang Yigao also came to participate in the interview of Ark Culture with the attitude of giving it a try.
As a result, Fang Xing took a fancy to the short film he shot after graduation.
What Fang Xing needs is a director who is professional enough and has a professional background to cooperate.
The famous director is unwilling, Zhang Yigao has achieved nothing for ten years, but the director from the professional class is just right.
Since Zhang Yigao joined "The Beginning", it is like riding a rocket.
The TV series filmed after that became more popular than the other.
His current resume is taken out, and in the film and television industry, it is already very scary.
After all, in the list of his works, the names of the TV series are too fierce, "The Beginning", "The Pretender", "Hurricane", "Langya Bang", "Dark Glory".
These TV series are all in the list of his works.
Although most of them are only assistant directors, this is enough.
For the audience, they may not pay attention to who the assistant director is.
However, it is clear in the industry that even if he is only an assistant director, the gold content is very high.
Fang Xing also wanted to give more opportunities to his partners in the director team, so when the reporter interviewed, he led the topic to Zhang Yigao.
The reporter looked at Zhang Yigao, so he began to ask: "Director Zhang, the thickness of your current works is enough, have you ever thought about leaving the Ark culture and making dramas independently?" ”
Zhang Yigao didn't expect that as soon as the reporter opened his mouth, it would be such a sharp topic.
His eyes widened and he said, "I haven't thought about it. ”
Reporter: "Why haven't you thought about it?" It's because Fang Xing is here, don't you dare to tell the truth? ”
Zhang Yigao's expression was more ugly than crying: "Can you not be so ruthless?" I am a small assistant director, and I want to follow Director Fang and contribute a little bit of my own strength. ”
He folded his hands and begged the reporter for mercy.
How could the agitated news reporter let him go like this, if the news came out on the whole, he wouldn't be out of their style, so he turned to Fang Xing and asked:
"Fang Xing, have you ever thought about letting Director Zhang fly solo? He filmed a drama alone ten years ago, and it is rumored that most of your work as a director is actually done by the assistant director, but the honor is taken by you alone. Is it true? ”
Several assistant directors present widened their eyes at the same time, and they wanted to go up and choke the neck of this agitated news reporter.
Fang Xing was very relaxed, and replied casually: "If they want to make a drama independently, I will support it, as long as they have this idea, get the script and project plan to the company, and if the project has potential, the company can even invest."
"Of course, I have very strict requirements for film and television drama projects, I don't need to explain this, my assistant director should know everything."
The agitated news reporter turned to Zhang Yigao again and asked, "Director Zhang, Director Fang said, as long as you want to fly solo, you can even invest in it." Have you ever thought about giving it a try? ”
Zhang Yigao emphasized: "I don't have this idea for the time being, and Director Fang has the most script, and the requirements for film and television projects are very strict, and it is not easy to come up with a script that satisfies Director Fang." ”
Another assistant director chimed in and added: "To be honest, it may be easier to invest in other film and television companies, but it will only be more difficult to invest in Ark Culture." ”
The reporter asked, "Why?" Is Director Fang's requirements for film and television projects really so high? ”
Zhang Yigao thought for a while and replied: "That's for sure, only with strict requirements can the quality of the dramas filmed be guaranteed." In fact, there are many rumors on the Internet that Director Fang is very strict in selecting actors, but in fact, the requirements for the script and service are equally strict. ”
Now, Zhang Yigao's resume is already very thick, and he is the assistant director of five dramas: "The Beginning", "Hurricane", "Langya Bang", "The Pretender" and "Dark Glory".
Even if he is only an assistant director, the gold content is not low at all.
If Zhang Yigao wants to make dramas independently now, he will find investment in film and television companies in the industry, and it will not be difficult to get A-level investment.
Merely.
After staying in Ark Culture for a long time, Zhang Yigao didn't want to go to other film and television companies for investment.
Because, once you take the investment of other film and television companies, you have to make a drama according to the requirements of the investor.
Zhang Yigao has been in the film and television industry for more than ten years, and he knows the rules of this industry too well.
Moreover, his current resume is really good-looking, but once the drama that is filmed by the investment hits the street, it will fall into a trough like ten years ago.
So, he's very cautious about it.
The agitated news reporter turned to Fang Xing again and asked, "Fang Xing, are you too controlling, pressing your director team to work and not giving them a chance to get ahead." ”
Fang Xing shook his head and smiled: "You guys don't stop the whole big news." In fact, the scale of Ark Culture is getting bigger and bigger, and future film and television projects may not necessarily be directed by me personally. Moreover, the Ark culture has always been to stay at will, and only the team can do a good job of content. ”
