Haha, it is worthy of being the overseer of the middle generation, and it is really tolerant, it seems that my colleague is too careful." Reporter Okada said, but in his heart he was dismissive.

This old thing has been keeping a straight face since he came to the club, as if someone owes him 100 million, and he also noted down the reporter who wrote negative film reviews before, and he had to confront him face to face, asking him what he meant by the article "The directing level is worrying" and "The main creator of the film can't keep up with the original author's thoughts".

The reporter who wrote the film review was also a grumpy person, and he was about to reason with Zhong Daiying and face to face with him with his sleeves, who was afraid of whom. The head of the editorial department was so frightened that he hurriedly asked someone to hold him down, and then asked reporter Okada to interview Nakayo Eiji instead of the man.

"Haha." Zhong Daiying let out a hearty laugh, "Speaking from the heart, this movie did not perform very well in the market, mainly because I made some profound expressions in the movie. This should be the choice process that all directors will go through in the creative process, choosing between artistry and popularity...... I made what I thought was the right choice, but it didn't seem to be understood by the audience, which is really sad."

Phew, shameless, put gold on your face. Reporter Okada scolded silently in his heart.

"It's worth understanding for the general audience because of their limited understanding, but I thought that the editors and reporters of New Filmmaker would understand the work from a more professional and profound perspective. But now it seems that your society is adhering to the principle of standing on a united front with the audience in terms of film appreciation. Haha."

There was a hidden thorn in Nakadai Eiji's words, and after reporter Okada heard it, he repeated this sentence twice in his mouth, and then he understood what he meant, and he was suddenly a little annoyed.

Obviously, I didn't shoot well, and I blamed our magazine for not having the ability to appreciate it!

The so-called "standing on the united front with the audience" is nothing more than the irony of Eiji Nakadai, who believes that the editors of New Filmmaker magazine, like the general public, have no ability to appreciate art. scolded both the general audience and their magazines.

Many people in the art circle are like this, inexplicably arrogant, and always have in their minds the opinions of "this audience can't do it", "that audience can't do it", and "the audience who doesn't obediently send me money can't do it".

Reporter Okada rubbed his teeth and said, "Haha, of course, the purpose of our "New Filmmaker" magazine is to let more audiences go to the cinema and give our country's filmmakers the help they can. Does Superintendent Nakadai think that the results of "White Night Walking" have met your expectations?"

Chung Dai-ying shook his head: "I have to say that for this movie, we have paid a lot more than we got."

"You think the biggest reason for the unsatisfactory box office revenue is that the film is not marketable, right?"

"Hmm...... There are reasons for this, but there are also things we don't do well enough."

Reporter Okada said silently in his heart: It's rare, this old guy is finally willing to review himself.

"Where?" Reporter Okada asked

"For example, in terms of movie casting, I chose the first main role of Katsura Arima, but in fact, this role is not particularly suitable for her, so I feel quite sorry for her...... I didn't give her a role that best suited her."

….

Reporter Okada was speechless, and in the end, he still blamed others for co-authoring.

It's either the market and the audience, or the actors.

However, this is also a tradition in the film industry, and the movie hits the street, and the main service is indeed to blame. And as the director of the work, he also relied on the actors for the failure, which made reporter Okada more or less look down on him.

Arima Guixiang didn't act in many movies before, but this time the movie pounced again, and now some people in the circle have called her "box office poison", and no artist will like such a title. It is estimated that for a long time, she has missed out on big-budget movies.

Reporter Okada followed the script, finished asking the prepared questions, and at the end of the interview, reporter Okada stood up: "Our interview is over, thank you, Superintendent Nakadai."

"Hmm." Nakadai Eiji stood up, ignored reporter Okada, and went out directly to greet the top management of the magazine

Phew.

"Phew, whatever, wasting a good book." Reporter Okada couldn't help but mumble quietly.

After the interview, Nakayo drove to Ginza.

He was in a bit of a depressed mood, he wanted to get drunk in the club tonight, anyway, in this kind of club, the service is very meticulous and complete, even if he drank unconscious in the club the day before, he will be taken care of by the club staff and delicately, and when he woke up the next day, he was lying on a nearby hotel bed, next to his clothes that had been washed and dried hot.

Although he behaved lightly on the surface, it seemed that the box office failure of "White Night Walking" did not affect him, but deep down, he was still depressed. Although he secretly threw the pot on the main officer in front of the major media, in the eyes of the senior management of Matsuri Pictures, he also had some doubts about his directing ability.

"Oh, isn't this the middle overseer, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I feel a lot more handsome again." As soon as he walked into the club, his mother Sanghexi Qianxu greeted him with a smile.

"Haha, Miss Hexi is so sweet-mouthed, and then again, you seem to have gotten slimmer lately, so you have to eat well."

"Oh, with your words, it seems that people are not starving in vain these days." Chio Kawanishi smiled, "Your friend has already arrived, please come here."

When I came to a semi-open box, there were already three or four people waiting in the box, all of whom were from Matsuhi Pictures.

"Oh, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Zhong Daiying said with a smile.

"Where, we've just arrived."

"Gentlemen, do you want to drink anything?" Chio Kawanishi asked.

"I don't know, Miss Kasai has any recommendations?"

Kawanishi Chio thought for a moment and muttered a few words in the ear of a waiter beside him, and soon after, the waiter wearing white gloves brought a bottle of red wine.

"How's this bottle? Margaux in '86. The guests who have drunk it have thought it is very good."

"Well, that's it." Zhong Dai Yingji said, and did not ask the price.

Although the most important income of the club is to sell wine, Kawanishi Chio will not recommend expensive drinks all the time, and when she recommends drinks to different people, she will generally recommend them according to the other party's income, so as not to make the guests feel embarrassed.

Ordinary company executives and presidents are often recommended different types of sake. In the long run, many guests have also developed a kind of trust in Kawanishi Chio, and if they want to order wine, they can just ask the proprietress to recommend it, and they don't ask much about the price, which is very generous.

"By the way, Superintendent Nakadai, have you heard?" At this time, a screenwriter said, "Matsuri Pictures recently plans to make another suspense-themed genre film, do you know who led this project?"

"Suspense genre films?" Zhong Daiying was stunned, after the failure of "White Night Walking", isn't the market no longer very welcoming films with this theme? How could Matsuri want to make a suspense film again? Hearing the other party say this, he cautiously asked, "Who is it?"

"It's Keina Fujiwara, and I heard that he wants to use Katsura Arima as the main officer, this guy is really not afraid of death."
