Chapter 331: Interview
"Punch, Dad" has won 12 million dollars at the box office in Europe and the United States, causing great shocks in the mainland.
This movie is not a kung fu movie, nor is it an art film that sells badly.
But they can still make money outside, which makes many people very surprised, although they can't figure it out, but this does not affect their enthusiasm for Li Dadao.
More people want to be involved in Lee's project.
More people want to stuff people into "Extreme Escape", and more people want to send money to Li Shengyao.
Among them, Yu Dong even went south to Star City in person, saying that he could buy an investment share of five million with eight million.
Li Shengyao naturally refused, he had already given half of the investment share, and it was impossible to give it again.
At noon on this day, at the hotel where Li Shengyao lived, he met a film crew from CCTV6.
They came here this time, mainly to do an interview program for Li Shengyao.
That is, the personal interview session of "Huaxia Film Report".
Li Shengyao heard the interview invitation a few days ago, and agreed without saying a word, he regarded this interview as a movie promotion.
The host is Yi Jingwei, who is very beautiful, and the hosts selected by CCTV are all more traditional beauties.
In his previous life, Li Shengyao often watched her interview movie stars and directors.
In addition to Yi Jingwei, there is also a special person, who is the big power that many people have in their hearts.
Da Mi Mi has already started acting at this time, mainly in some supporting roles.
"Huaxia Film Report" sometimes does arrange an unknown star to liven up the atmosphere.
Li Shengyao didn't expect to see Da Mi Mi this time.
Despite her youthful face, she could still see that she already had a scale.
However, for Li Shengyao, the best thing about Da Mi Mi is not those catties of meat, but her eyes.
In the early days of Da Mi Mi, a pair of eyes were very beautiful, a bit of a starry eye.
Of course, Li Shengyao looked at him with a smile with appreciation, and then turned his gaze away.
The three of them exchanged a few polite words, and then entered the interview session.
The questions that Yi Jingwei wanted to ask had already been seen by Li Shengyao, and some of the questions were quite sharp.
Lee did not refuse.
This made Yi Jingwei a little excited.
Many star directors will delete a lot of the initial questions they provide, so that they can only ask some boring and safe topics.
For the hosts, it's not challenging.
Li Shengyao has not deleted anything, and it seems that there are no taboos.
Looking at Li Shengyao's young face, the more she watched it, the more she liked it, she liked such a frank and generous director.
But hopefully, you'll be able to keep your smile like that after the interview.
"Director Li, "Punch, Dad" was screened at the Shanghai Film Festival at the time, why didn't you participate? Is it because you are afraid of bad grades? ”
At that time, "Punch, Dad" actually had time to participate, but Lee Shengyao only showed one screening, and left in a hurry with the team.
The Shanghai Film Festival is actually quite regrettable.
Later, the box office results of "Punch, Dad" came out, and the contact person of the Shanghai Film Festival also called to congratulate Li Shengyao, and said that there will be such a good movie in the future, and he can participate in the Shanghai Film Festival, and it is impossible for the film festival to let Li Shengyao go home empty-handed.
Although the Shanghai Film Festival is an international A-category film festival, it is not comparable to the three major in Europe, and it is not even as popular as the C-category Toronto Film Festival.
There are many films participating in the competition every year, but there are not many new films.
For example, the three major European films, regardless of whether you are screening or competing, all need new films, and they do not accept old films.
This is something that is unique all over the world.
Only the three of them and the Toronto Film Festival have this influence.
For example, the Eastview and Shanghai Film Festival, although they are international A-category film festivals, the vast majority of the participating films are films that have already been released.
In this way, the interest, topicality, and watchability will be reduced a lot.
Li Shengyao smiled, "The Shanghai Film Festival is a very important film festival for us, it is a well-known film festival in Asia, I was mainly too busy to participate in the competition, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely participate." ”
The best actress at this year's Shanghai Film Festival went to Zhao Yanzi, according to the performance of "Lover's Knot", which is a film with a double collapse at the box office.
To be honest, after this award was awarded, the brand fairness instantly decreased a lot.
The Shanghai Film Festival used to take the international route and award it to foreigners, which was a little better than giving it to Zhao Yanzi.
However, Li Shengyao still has to say good things, after he produces "Extreme Escape", he will find the relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Film Festival to discuss the idea of establishing an Asian Film Award.
In his previous life, this awesome-sounding award was the first to be preemptively registered on Hong Kong Island.
The group of people on Hong Kong Island are cautious, and if they don't have eyes, they just stare at the people on the island.
Li Shengyao naturally wanted to grab it, so although in his eyes, the Shanghai Film Festival is not doing well this year, he will still choose to cooperate with the Shanghai Film Festival.
Yi Jingwei nodded, and then asked, "There is news that you want to cooperate with Brother Cheng Long, is this true?" ”
"It's true, I've always wanted to work with him."
"Why?"
"He has international appeal, and I hope to spread Chinese culture with him."
In fact, it is just to make more money.
Li Shengyao chuckled lightly and did not say what was in his heart.
"Then what do you think is the future development trend of Chinese films?"
"I think the big guys still like to watch blockbusters and watch lively movies now, but slowly there will be an excess, and in a few years, our market will like feature films more, like funny, or movies that can give the audience memories and discussions."
"Is this direction good or bad?"
"This direction is good, I think the movie is not only about showing off skills, piling up scenes, but more importantly, sincere expression."
Yi Jingwei was very satisfied with Li Shengyao's answer, and then asked some questions, and finally asked: "Director Li, the last question, many people have asked you, but I still want to ask again, in your heart, how much can the box office of "Extreme Escape" be?" Is it 200 million? ”
"Of course not, more than 100 million, 120 million, 30 million, this is acceptable."
The interview is finally over.
Yi Jingwei sorted out the equipment, and Da Mi Mi stepped forward timidly, "Director Li, I am your fan, I like your play very much." ”
Her voice is a little special, not Zhang Baizhi's duck voice, nor is it as hard as Zhou Xun, and it sounds quite flavorful.
Li Shengyao nodded and did not answer.
"Director Li, if you have a play in the future, you must consider me, I have time anytime and anywhere, I'm serious."
Da Mi Mi then took out a note and handed it to Li Shengyao.
"This is my phone."
"I can play anything, I'm desperate."
