"All kinds of audience friends, welcome to watch "Tell the Truth"!"

As soon as Cui Yongyuan's words fell, thunderous applause rang out in the studio, and the audience showed excitement on their faces.

The format of "Tell the Truth" is similar to that of a talk show, where a topic is discussed through direct dialogue between the host, guests, and the audience, so as to enhance communication and understanding among participants.

In order to ensure the authenticity of the show and ensure that the guests are telling the truth as much as possible, the program team has adopted a method that has never been done before, and each episode of the show has only ideas and no lines before the start of filming.

Of course, this choice is risky, and it also tests the strength of the host, but the program team has such courage.

On this point, many programs that play routines now, even if they make more money and have high ratings, they can't raise their heads in front of "Tell the Truth".

The theme of this episode is "The Past and Future of Chinese Films", let us welcome the two guests with warm applause - Feng Xiaogang and Fang Yan! ”

Under Cui Yongyuan's introduction, Fang Yan and Feng Xiaogang appeared together, and the two waved their arms to the audience stiffly, and then sat down.

"Two directors, in fact, I have always had a dream, I want to be a movie star!"

At the beginning of the show, Cui Yongyuan played a treasure, he stared at the big eyes and asked sincerely: "Please show me, do I have the potential to become a movie star?" ”

This sentence, coupled with Cui Yongyuan's ugly face that is smiling and crying, looks particularly joyful.

"Hahaha-" The audience burst into laughter and couldn't stop laughing.

This kind of funny way will make people feel very embarrassed in the next ten years, but in the current era, almost no host will pull down his face to do this.

In order to cooperate with him, Fang Yan spread his hands helplessly, sighed and said nothing.

Seeing this scene, the audience immediately burst into louder laughter, and the atmosphere of the show was hot.

Next, Cui Yongyuan began a serious interview.

"Two directors, why did you choose to be directors in the first place?"

After some humility, Fang Yan finally answered first.

"Hmm...... I'm just a whim. ”

Fang Yan scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "Actually, I changed careers halfway, I originally studied music, and then I wanted to be a director when my brain was hot in my third year of high school, and I was lucky to be admitted to the Imperial Capital Film Academy." ”

Cui Yongyuan asked curiously: "What is the specific reason that makes you want to change careers to become a director?"

What other reason can there be, the original host felt that the director was easy to pick up girls!

The truth was really unspeakable, so Fang Yan had to make up a reason casually.

"My family bought me a home video camera, and I became fascinated with photography while playing, and then I eventually wanted to be a director."

This answer can be described as very old-fashioned, and many directors at home and abroad have this experience, so it sounds very convincing.

After Fang Yan finished speaking, he thought self-deprecating in his mind - as a guest of "Tell the Truth", I was really incompetent if I lied as soon as I came up.

"Director Feng, why did you choose to be a director in the first place?"

"My situation is actually quite similar to Fang Yan!" …

Feng Xiaogang recalled, while saying: "I started as an artist at the Imperial Capital Television Art Center, and I didn't expect to become a director at that time, so I can only say thank God." ”

Cui Yongyuan continued to ask: "As far as I know, most of your early works were with Wang Shuo, you have a good relationship, right?" ”

"Uh...... It's okay. Feng Xiaogang's face suddenly turned ugly.

The reason why Feng Xiaogang can have his current achievements is that there is one person who can never get around, and he is Wang Shuo.

In the eyes of many post-90s generations, Wang Shuo may just be a writer who has been out of fashion for a long time, but in China in the 80s and 90s, Wang Shuo's popularity can only be described as "a mess".

At that time, Wang Shuo was a popular figure in the "Beijing circle", and a large number of well-known directors and actors gathered around him, Feng Xiaogang also wanted to know Wang Shuo, but his identity and qualifications could not squeeze into Wang Shuo's social circle at all.

Later, through the relationship with director Zheng Xiaolong, Feng Xiaogang finally got acquainted with Wang Shuo and became the younger brother in charge of running errands in the circle.

When Wang Shuo's circle of friends gathered, Feng Xiaogang always sat at the bottom, he made tea for Wang Shuo and others, boiled rice porridge, and ran errands to buy cigarettes in the store.

After everyone dispersed, Feng Xiaogang cleaned up the table for them and cleaned up the room.

After a period of time, Feng Xiaogang's diligence and sensibility gradually won the favor of Wang Shuo and his gang, and the other party began to really treat him as a friend and treat him equally.

In the early 90s, when Wang Shuo wrote the script for the popular "The Story of the Editorial Department", he once said that if Feng Xiaogang was not allowed to be a screenwriter together, he would not do it.

When filming "Imperial Capital in New York", some people also objected to letting Feng Xiaogang participate in the director, but the other party still saw Wang Shuo's face and let him participate.

Judging from these, Feng Xiaogang's development in his early years is really inseparable from Wang Shuo's contributions.

It wasn't until 97 that Wang Shuo's works and films were banned in the name of "promoting grayism", and he left Huaxia for the United States.

Since then, Feng Xiaogang has completely cut off contact with Wang Shuo and began to cooperate with Huayi Brothers.

Now that Feng Xiaogang has become famous, for him, everything related to Wang Shuo is a black history that he doesn't want to remember.

Seeing that Feng Xiaogang's face was wrong, Cui Yongyuan immediately diverted the topic.

"Two directors, what do you think of the current popularity of Hollywood movies?"

"Actually, I think it's a good thing!" Fang Yan touched his chin and said: "Since Hollywood movies were introduced into China, they have played a great role in promoting the development of the Chinese film market. ”

"Oh—how so?"

Cui Yongyuan raised his eyebrows and said teasingly: "Don't they all say that peers are enemies, Director Fang, why do you want to speak for Hollywood?" ”

"Actually, it's very simple, history tells us one thing, blindly closing the country will only lead to backwardness."

Fang Yan raised two fingers and said with a smile: "The introduction of Hollywood movies actually has two major benefits. ”

"What are the two major benefits?" Cui Yongyuan asked cooperatively.

Fang Yan didn't continue to sell Guanzi anymore, he explained: "First of all, Hollywood movies have opened the eyes of Chinese audiences to see what the world's first-class commercial films are like. So from the audience's point of view, it's definitely a good thing. ”

"Secondly, in the process of confronting Hollywood head-on, Huaxia films have also been learning from the excellence of American films, and I believe that in the near future, domestic films will be able to wrestle with Hollywood blockbusters."

"Well said!"

Feng Xiaogang nodded, clapped his hands and said: "We are not afraid of Hollywood movies, domestic films are more in line with the cultural aesthetics of Chinese people, as long as the visual effects catch up with each other in the future, the audience will definitely give priority to domestic films." ”

Hearing the confident words of the two of them, the audience immediately burst into warm applause.
