"Director Sun Yi, what do you think about the recent public opinion on the issues related to the film and television circles of the mainland and Hong Kong Island, and whether it is really as the report says, you discriminate against Hong Kong Island actors, after all, you have directed so many movies without using a Hong Kong Island actor."

A reporter from a Hong Kong Island entertainment media asked Sun Yi in somewhat broken Mandarin.

can ask these words, the butt is obviously crooked, but today's occasion is a media conference specially held by Starry Sky, indicating that it is to announce the company's film and television release plan for the next two months, as well as the company's production plan for the second half of this year.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Sun Yi must be responding to the recent public opinion turmoil.

It's not okay not to respond, the heat of this topic has become more and more intense, and even Tong Gang called to ask, although what he said on the surface was that he cared about it, but who knows if he represents the above.

Just look at the seats of the media on the scene today, the whole thing is clear.

Half are journalists from the Mainland, and half are journalists from Hong Kong Island.

No one specially arranged it, so they spontaneously sat in a group, obviously no matter what everyone thought in their hearts, but the reality is that people on both sides were kidnapped by this public opinion and had to choose to take sides.

"This journalist friend, our press conference has just begun, and it has not yet reached the free question session, please calm down and let us follow the process, okay?"

Sun Yi responded to the reporter with a smile, and there was no displeasure on his face, and his demeanor was fully displayed.

After saying this, Sun Yi didn't pay attention to him anymore, at this time, it must not be led by the other party to say, can you answer me!

Next, the host of Starry Sky began to host according to the official press conference process.

First of all, the company's two upcoming films were introduced, one is "Hidden in the Dust" that reflects the theme of rural reality, and the other is "Pacific Rim", a 3D masterpiece that represents the industrialization of starry sky films.

Many reporters present, whether they are from Hong Kong Island or the mainland, are most concerned about the public opinion question just asked, but it does not mean that they will not pay attention to the next movement of the starry sky.

The schedules of the two films have been officially determined, and in the eyes of a group of reporters, the topic of these two movies, no matter which one, is worth excavating.

The first "Hidden in the Dust", from the perspective of the subject matter, is something that Sun Yi has never set foot in, in the mainland film and television industry, movies with this kind of theme have long been made badly, but most of them are fifth-generation and sixth-generation directors, it is hard to imagine that Sun Yi has tried this kind of theme at his age.

Mainland reporters are still a little proud of this.

Since Sun Yi's debut, he has also filmed a lot of movies, his style is changeable, the subject matter is basically not repeated, and now even this kind of theme has been filmed, so people really can't think of anything he won't.

As for the second part, not to mention, the topic can be extended to more than a year ago at the earliest, and this movie can be said to have earned everyone's appetite, especially after the release of "Avatar" at the beginning of the year, the audience is looking forward to it.

After the content of the press conference was announced, the host announced that he had entered the free question session of the media, and also reminded him that all media reporters should raise their hands to ask questions and pay attention to the order of the press conference.

It was still the Hong Kong Island reporter, who was forced to raise his hand helplessly, thinking that Sun Yi would pretend to ignore him slyly, but he didn't expect to be the first to point to him, which made him a little unexpected, and when he asked a question, he was stuck, directly giving everyone an unprofessional impression.

That's what Sun Yi wants.

It's still the same question just now, the wind doesn't move.

Sun Yi adjusted the microphone, looked at the reporter with a smile, and was silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking.

"This journalist friend, actually, I personally think your question is very ridiculous, but as a public figure, I choose to answer your question."

"First of all, as a director, I want to tell you that making a movie is not so simple, and the choice of actors is not arbitrary."

"To conform to the background of the characters in the story, you must have a certain acting foundation, and even include some so-called external conditions."

At this point, the Hong Kong Island reporter just now wanted to ask, but Sun Yi didn't give him this opportunity, chuckled, and continued:

"I'm a person who is more honest and likes to tell the truth, so I'll tell you about the so-called external conditions."

"As we all know, since my debut, I have shot many films, which are basically commercial films, what is a commercial film, first of all, it is a commodity."

"I'll give you a simple example, just like commercial housing, whether you are selling pre-sale, or engaging in pre-sale, all kinds of means are used, and consumers ultimately look at whether your house is good or not, and for developers, in addition to paying attention to local consumption power, housing demand, environmental location, cost must be put in the first place."

"In my opinion, commercial directors are the same as developers, I want to shoot a movie, the scene is the environment, the audience's preference is the demand for the main house, and the actors are equivalent to the park facilities."

"Who doesn't want to use the actor and actress together, but the positioning of my film is different, just like you have an improved park, and you actually have a private housekeeper property, equipped with an independent garage, and an elevator house, can you sell it?"

"I don't discriminate against all actors, including Hong Kong Island actors, you have to be careful to find that in my upcoming "Hidden in the Dust", the male protagonist is an amateur, an authentic farmer."

"It's not because of anything else, it's because he's suitable, and I'm not afraid to say it, and because it's cheap, with the lowest salary, I can achieve results that exceed my expectations, so why don't I do it."

Sun Yi made a helpless expression just right, which caused a reporter in the audience to smile.

Don't look at Sun Yi's rarely participate in various media interviews on weekdays, but for the control of the atmosphere of the scene, he has already mastered it perfectly, and the reporters on the scene are unconsciously following his train of thought.

Many people think about it in their hearts.

Yes, there's nothing wrong with it, it's cheap, and the effect is good, so fools don't need it.

Sun Yi paused slightly, and then said with a smile towards the Hong Kong Island:

"The salary of Hong Kong Island actors is often 2 or even 3 times that of the same type of actors in the mainland, which is understandable in my opinion, you are confident that it is worth this price, no one can say anything, market economy, but as a director or a consumer of actors, it is understandable to choose cheap, this is also a market economy."

"I believe that if Hong Kong Island actors can take the initiative to reduce their salaries, they may have a much greater chance of being selected."

The reporters who had just followed his train of thought would have been surprised.

The example given in Sun Yi's speech in the first half of his speech, although it reflects the salary of Hong Kong Island actors, is not explicitly stated after all, but in the second half, the "unspoken rules" of the Chinese film and television industry are directly brought to the surface.

How dare he say it.

However, this is very good, and I like directors who dare to say so.

A group of reporters were full of excitement to record Sun Yi's words, and the bonus for this job must be there.

The Hong Kong Island reporter was directly caught off guard by Sun Yi.

The high remuneration of Hong Kong and Taiwan actors is an indisputable fact in the circle, everyone knows it, but no one dares to really poke it out generously.

But Sun Yi just doesn't play cards according to common sense.

Your price is high, I don't need it!

There is nothing wrong with this logic, he has no way to refute it, and in a hurry, he can only say things from a different angle.

"Well, then Director Sun Yi, I also want to ask you, why have you made so many movies, none of them are Hong Kong-style movies that can be liked by Hong Kong Island fans, is it because you don't pay attention to Hong Kong Island fans in your heart?"

Airplanes.

There was a commotion in the venue.

It's not that the Hong Kong Island reporter's question is too shocking, but that the question is really not level.

First of all, he didn't refute Sun Yi's explanation just now, which more or less proves that he personally admits the fact that Hong Kong Island actors are paid well, so it is people's freedom not to choose.

The first question he asked, he was defeated.

Immediately after this time, I actually asked Sun Yi why he didn't make a Hong Kong-style movie, why didn't you ask, why didn't he make an alien movie, in case the aliens were waiting to see it.

Strong words, although the reporter is doing this business, but he didn't ask so much, and the logic can't be self-consistent.

Not to mention the mainland reporters present, even some Hong Kong Island reporters around him despised this colleague in their hearts.

Sun Yi was even more amused on stage, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

Even Liu Yifei, who also attended the press conference, couldn't stand it and refuted him first.

"If you don't make Hong Kong-style movies, you don't pay attention to Hong Kong Island fans, what kind of logic is this? It's a joke. ”

"I'm an actor, and I haven't acted in a Hong Kong-style movie yet, does this mean that I don't pay attention to Hong Kong Island fans, every time I go to Hong Kong Island for a roadshow, I do my best, and Hong Kong Island fans are also very enthusiastic about me, of course, I am also very grateful. So, I don't see the so-called disrespect in your mouth, I don't know where your problem comes from? ”

Liu Yifei was like a fiery female leopard, and scolded the Hong Kong Island reporter loudly.

She doesn't care what the occasion is, what this person is saying is obviously crooked, the target is directly at Sun Yi, she is purely looking for trouble, she can't bear it.

The Hong Kong Island reporter was red-eared and sat down in shame, estimating that today would be the worst day of his career, and he didn't know what was going on today.

At this point, Sun Yi's side has basically finished explaining, but there are still hidden dangers, or in other words, it has not had the effect of counterattacking, and Sun Yi must not just forget it.

So, he picked up the microphone again and said to the reporters in the audience:

"Although the reporter's question just now is very, heh, I'm embarrassed to describe it." Sun Yi shook his head with a smile, without direct ridicule, giving people a very personable feeling.

"Okay, I haven't made a Hong Kong-style movie, it's definitely not the so-called lack of attention to Hong Kong Island audiences, Hong Kong Island fans have a very high level of appreciation, after all, Hong Kong Island movies have been beautiful for a whole era, and it is not an exaggeration for our generation to say that they grew up watching Hong Kong films."

"I haven't been involved in this kind of subject matter before, because I was born in the mainland and don't know much about the needs of Hong Kong Island fans, besides, there are so many local film and television companies and big directors on Hong Kong Island, how can it not be my turn. However, looking at it now, it seems that Hong Kong Island fans would like me to bring them a movie with a strong Hong Kong style. ”

"I'm a person who values the voice of movie fans, and in that case, I'm willing to give it a try."

Brush.

Before Sun Yi's words fell, the reporters at the scene focused their eyes on him.

He, what he said, I heard you right, he said he was going to try!

Sun Yi is going to make a Hong Kong film?

"Director Sun Yi, do you want to make a Hong Kong film?"

"Director Sun, Director Sun, what type of Hong Kong film are you going to make?"

"Director Sun, Director Sun"

A group of reporters asked nonsense, and then when they saw the host appear, they all changed their hands to raise their hands, and then stared at Sun Yi with burning eyes, expecting him to choose themselves.

Sun Yi directly changed a concept in his answer just now, not because he didn't look down on Hong Kong Island actors and didn't respect the public opinion of Hong Kong Island fans, so he wanted to try a Hong Kong film, but because of the needs of Hong Kong Island fans and the call of the masses.

This invisibly won over the vast majority of Hong Kong Island fans who were coerced, and he believes that the vast majority of Hong Kong Island fans are still very sensible.

"Everyone, calm down, as for this decision, I just made it, what specific theme it is, I haven't planned it yet, but I will definitely do it as soon as possible, I believe it won't make the majority of fans wait for a long time."

"Okay, that's all for today's good content, thank you."

"Sun Yi responded to the needs of Hong Kong Island fans and decided to shoot a Hong Kong-style movie himself."

"Sun Yi, the No. 1 commercial director in the mainland, has customized a Hong Kong-style movie for Hong Kong Island fans in response to the needs of fans, let's wait and see."

As soon as the press conference ended, various media outlets sent out first-hand information on the Internet, and the confrontation between public opinion on both sides was also reversed.

Mainland netizens feel honored.

Oh, look, what kind of thirst are Hong Kong Island fans, and Sun Yi has to rescue them from fire and water, forget it, they are all a family, and they should be.

And fans on Hong Kong Island also feel valued.

Look at what Hong Kong films have been doing over the years, except for the limited number of directors and actors, the others are all lakse. As for Sun Yi, frankly, his films are still good.

He is coming to make a Hong Kong film, and he is quite looking forward to it.

A public opinion turmoil was reversed by Sun Yi invisibly, but it was not completely resolved, and then it depends on whether his so-called Hong Kong films can be accepted by Hong Kong Island fans.

As soon as the press conference ended, Sun Yi received a call from Boss Yinghuang Yang.

"Yang Sheng, I know, the previous cooperation between our two families is still very pleasant, and I also welcome the cooperation of Yinghuang."

"Actors, this is not easy to do, I still say that, the movie shall prevail. Well, well, okay, when I get to Hong Kong Island, I will definitely come to disturb me, and when the time comes, Yang Sheng will not be unwelcome. ”

"Haha, okay, okay, let's do this first."

Sun Yi put down the movie and asked Yang Fan who followed him.

"How?"

Sun Yi smiled, "What else can I say, old fox, when public opinion rose before, I didn't see him stand up and speak, and now tell me as soon as possible, this matter has nothing to do with their heroes, although they have a large market share on Hong Kong Island, but they can't cover the sky with one hand." ”

"That's right, Lao Yang is the first person to cooperate with the mainland, and I also think that this matter should have nothing to do with him." Yang Fan nodded.

"This time, when I heard that I was going to make a Hong Kong film, he hurriedly asked, what is needed, what venue personnel, he can help, I really want to make a timely rain."

"Hehe, he wants to mix it up in the investment." Yang Fan smiled.

"You can give him a little bit, after all, it's on someone else's territory, he's the head snake in the land, it's easier to deal with in all aspects, as for the Hong Kong Island actors. Or not! ”

"Yes, just use the mainland lineup to shoot their Hong Kong films, you say, whoever you want to use, I'll get you over." Yang Fan waved his hand.

Sun Yi thought for a moment and replied:

"Let Songwen, Zhang Yi, and Luo Jin get ready, and leave a two-month schedule, as for the actresses, there is no need, I want to make a movie between men, well, I still need a few old actors, Brother Fan, you can help me send an invitation and ask about the schedule."

"Howler!"
