"Why do you want to rest? Is it because I find that I have decreased sensitivity to my work? Because we know that as a director, you must be sensitive!"

"…You are talking about the director of an art film. I can shoot it with a subject like this! And the audience will also like it!"

In fact, the so-called art films, independent films are the self-expression of the creators.

They want to express their views on social changes or something through a work. Such people must remain sensitive, otherwise no one will discuss his works!

As a commercial film director, Xu Hui is able to skillfully use his skills to make the audience like his works.

Although a bit bragging...

"In fact, I still feel sleepy and can't find the passion I used to film the first time..."

Xu Hui yawned, shook his head, and then said: "In the past, I liked that some viewers said that my movie had a high box office. I think that would mean that my movie was good, but now, I might consider more..."

“Think more? Responsibility about filmmakers?”

"...No, I think I will never be able to make any work with great influence in my life. The first thing I want is always the audience's needs. When my personal expression conflicts with the audience's psychology, I will always stand on the side of the audience. This feeling is particularly strong when I filmed "New Longmen Inn"!"

“How to say it?”

"That's a 3D martial arts movie. I'm a movie, and I'm very clear that 3D and fast editing are opposites. My martial arts style is fast editing and sharp movements. If these are presented through 3D, it will be very awkward in the first place. However, when the audience thought 3D was a good thing at that time, I could only cater to the audience's ideas and made a 3D martial arts movie, and the final effect... "

"The effect is good, I watched it in the cinema!"

"…It's a lot worse, at least it's more than a little bit different from my original plan. We have expanded the literary opera part, added a lot of inexplicable long shots, and cut too many fighting scenes!"

Xu Hui waved his hand and continued, "Since then, I said that I will never shoot 3D martial arts in the future. Then I felt that I was a bit too pretentious, so I simply stopped working for a year. I felt that I needed to adjust my mentality!"

"How did you think of filming "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer"?"

"After all, it's Jin Yong's martial arts, and there are still some plots... Actually, I want to film "The Legend of Condor Heroes" the most, but unfortunately, I didn't get the adaptation rights. Of course, "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" is also good!"

"I watched the trailer, are you playing Linghu Chong?"

"…To be honest, the main reason why we have subverted the original work is too big. To put it bluntly, it is almost another story. I play the male lead, and I also want everyone to give me some face when scolding, so don't scold me so ruthlessly..."

"So, is the subversion a lot? Do you think some viewers won't approve of it?"

"I can't say this either. I have to look at the audience's own thoughts. I'll smoke a cigarette..."

It was so sleepy that Xu Hui felt that he needed a cigarette to relieve it a little...

Anyway, it’s a magazine interview, and there is no camera, so you can do it casually.

"I've been so tired these days. After I came back from Cannes, I've been busy..."

"When it comes to Cannes, "Cinema Paradise" didn't get the Palme d'Or, are you disappointed?"

"I'm really disappointed, because that story is a semi-autobiographical work about directors and movies. Well, it's a pure movie I want to make, and I just want to make a work for myself..."

"Didn't you just say that you will never abandon the audience?"

"So, that's a foreign language film. I think so. My movie audience should first be mainland audiences, and secondly, consider foreign audiences. The entire story structure of "Paradise Cinema" is Western... Have you gone to Cannes?"

"...No, but I heard a lot of feedback from my colleagues, who said that "Cinema Paradise" has set off a movie viewing craze in Cannes, and it is hard to get a ticket!"

"Yes, the attendance rate is all over the 6 screenings, and it can be predicted that the box office is not bad!"

"So, you still have the box office consideration!"

"Making sure your work is not losing money, this is the most basic professional ethics of a director. You can't let investors waste their money."

"But many movies, although their box office is not good, have a high status in film history, such as "Mong Kok Carmen" and "Flowers in the Mood"..."

"...Don't always use Wang Jiawei as an example. Besides, the export copyright of "Flowers" is done well..."

The reporter was blocked for a moment and was a little stunned, but he quickly adjusted and continued to ask: "Let's talk about "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer", how did you reconstruct the character relationship?"

"It has not been reconstructed much, because when Jin Yong created "The Swordsman", he had already set the tone for each character. I don't need to do anything more... I always thought that the characters that can be passed down and accepted by the audience must have their own uniqueness, so it doesn't require too much change, just continue. The characters in "The Swordsman" have basically not been re-changed, but the original story cannot be copied, after all, the movie only has two hours..."

"So do you have any ideas about the box office?"

"…The box office is enough to make a comeback. Of course, the more the better. After all, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" is also a small summary of my martial arts movies. In the next few years, I may not touch on the theme of martial arts again."

...

After finishing the interview, Xu Hui returned to the hotel.

After lying for a while, my spirits recovered a little, and it was already noon.

In the afternoon, "The Perch Appointment" will be recorded, and the movie promotion is like this, one program after another, one event after another!

Fortunately, "The Perch has an Appointment" has been revised. The Perch personally visits the interviewer, instead of flying to the recording hall as before...

Mu Hua knocked on the door and walked in: "Brother Xu, Sister Yaya, Nini and Yang Zi are here, they are waiting in the lobby!"

"…I got it, I'll go downstairs right away!"

OK, the staff is finally intact, and the publicity is on...

"The Woman of the Swordsman Family", the TV series that Yaya is preparing for, the young lady is in full swing, fully demonstrating the style of the empress. The male lead and director were all selected by her, including a bunch of actors...

When you meet in the future, you have to call her the producer sister;

Yang Zi took on the movie "Fighting Changsha", and according to herself, she performed very well;

Nini, a little embarrassed, her route is a bit contradictory to Fen Ai. Most of the company's resources were snatched away by Fen Ai's agent team, so she could only grab the resources from outside. Recently, she took on two dramas, "Breakup Contract" and "Plastic Surgery Diary"...

They all have a job.

When Xu Hui walked to the living room, the three young ladies were sitting in the restaurant and eating happily.

"Try this, crab roe small bun, it's delicious!"

“…I’ve been vegetarian lately…”

"Give it to me, I'm going to gain weight recently!"
