Chapter 44 Interview
Zhang Junsheng had appeared in "Yang Lan's Interview" once before, and he didn't have a good impression of her...
Originally, he didn't want to participate in this recording, but Yang Lan had a good relationship with Zhang's mother, and she was considered an aunt, so Zhang Junsheng couldn't refuse.
He doesn't like Yang Lan...
Very typical elite egoist.
He is a person who pursues fame and fortune.
I have to package myself so high-end.
It is necessary to be profitable and famous, and the key is lack of strength.
However, most of the circles he comes into contact with are people like this, so it doesn't matter...
In essence, he is also an egoist, but his eating habits are not that ugly!
This show is only intended to be a listener and occasionally make a speech.
...
The three of them entered the studio and sat down.
The venue is very small and has no auditorium, and it is arranged in the style of a study room.
Yang Lan’s Sunshine Media is quite embarrassing. When it was first created, it could still use programs such as "Yang Lan's Interview", "Women of the World", and "Green Influence" to create signs. When the mainland media industry officially started, it would never have a place to stay!
The three keywords of high-end, elite and senior are completely opposite to popular popular!
Few TV stations are willing to buy...
Now we can only rely on connections and broadcast it late at night, so we simply sell it to several video companies. The price is very low because no one watches it...
"Prepare!"
“3,2,1, come in!”
The director on the scene shouted, and the camera was aimed at Yang Lan first: "In the past few years, Chinese films have developed rapidly. With the development of films, the word ip has become a craze. Today, "Yang Lan's Interview" invited director Zhang Junsheng and famous science fiction writer Liu Cixin. Let's talk about Chinese science fiction movies and his new work "All Channel Blockage and Interference"!"
"I want to congratulate Junsheng first, and finally made his girlfriend public. I think Sister Ning must be very happy!"
“…It’s not particularly happy, now it’s giving birth to a child…”
"I'm very happy that you can come today. I've wanted to talk to you for a long time, but I haven't had a chance. In fact, the feeling you give me is a bit mysterious. You can hear you often, but it's hard to touch you!"
"…In recent years, I have deliberately avoided the media. I don't think it's necessary to market myself too much..."
"Why do you think so?"
Zhang Junsheng thought for a while and replied: "Because many of his thoughts are not necessarily correct, there is no need to affect others!"
“What about?”
"...For example, I used to be very sharp and felt that the whole world was not as good as me. Now I don't see it like this anymore. Now I can watch people scold me online peacefully, and I am willing to do something thankless!"
Yang Lan frowned. She didn't expect that Zhang Junsheng would become oily...
Seven years ago, Zhang Junsheng was both sharp and profound in "Interview with Yang Lan", and could be used to dirt the ten thousand households of the year...
"Okay, let's change the topic. Do you think IP is the magic medicine for Chinese movies?"
Zhang Junsheng thought for a while: "...It depends on whoever!"
"Hollywood's pan-entertainment industry, IP is at the top of the industrial chain, and popular literary works, animations, film and television works, games, variety shows, etc. are all high-quality IPs."
"The film industry was very popular in the past two years, which led to a lot of investments outside the film industry. However, a large part of these investments came in with the mentality of making quick money. Those who are keen on IP are often these new companies. They don't understand movies. One can make money by catching a popular IP!"
"Since December last year, the number of film projects has increased dramatically by one or two hundred per month. During this year's Shanghai Film Festival, including more than a dozen newly established film companies, a number of film companies have announced the list of more than 400 films. So many projects are on the one hand, and on the other hand, how many viewers need to digest to help these companies with fever recover their costs?"
"…For fans' IP movies, fans can only guarantee part of their consumption. How much box office will they bring in the end, and it will still return to the movie itself, which is determined by the overall quality of the movie. If non-professional stars can be used well and make good movies, it is not a bad thing. However, for many domestic investors, whether it is a story IP or a fresh meat star, they only care about the support of the fan economy behind it, rather than how to make a good movie. Therefore, the 'IP fresh meat' model is easy to create bad movies in China. Such movies are generally very high in the film pay, and sometimes the box office is not low, which is a harm to the industry."
"Chinese movies have never had any magic pills, the most correct route is industrialization!"
...
After visiting Zhang Junsheng for a long time, he finally arrived at Liu Cixin...
"If the movie "Three-Body Problem" is handed over to Hollywood, the effect will definitely shock the world!"
"Not necessarily, Hollywood has made science fiction movies for more than a century, and there are only a few truly classic movies!"
"Your novels include the interpretation of IT giants, from high-dimensional to low-dimensional, from Niangziguan power plants, according to industrial development and economic development, according to this division, it should be called low-dimensional and low-dimensional enterprises. If you have worked in such enterprises for 30 years, will you feel psychological pressure or something like that?"
"Arthur Clark, the author of "2001 Space Odyssey", has spent most of his life in a small fishing village in Sri Lanka. This does not prevent him from writing the most avant-garde and imaginative science fiction works, so it doesn't matter where he is. Especially in the Internet age, you can get the same information as people in metropolis wherever you are, and it has nothing to do with staying there."
“How is the current sales of "Three-Body Problem"?
"The figures counted before winning the Hugo Award were about 700,000 sets and more than 2 million copies. The awards grew rapidly, especially after the release of "The Wandering Earth", but there is no accurate statistics yet. It is estimated that it should reach 8 million copies now."
"I think many of your short stories are perfect, such as structure, novels, and scenes like "Supernova Era" are too grand."
"Short stories are basically a long outline. At that time, they could not post long stories, so they could only write them into short stories. If they could write them at that time, most of the short stories would have been written into long stories."
Yang Lan was a little skeptical about her life after asking several questions...
In fact, "Yang Lan's Interview" often encounters this kind of problem!
For example, she interviewed Ji Xianlin.
"You gave up the superior working conditions abroad and returned to China. What exactly drove you back to China?"
She has already preset the answer: the inspiration of one party; the attachment to the motherland; the third is racial discrimination in the United States, etc.
Professor Ji said in one sentence: "More money!"
By the way, an associate professor at that time was 50 yuan per month and a full professor at that time was 80 yuan per month. At that time, Yishigu was only 2 yuan, and the salary and price were really different, so he chose to return to China...
Yang Lan was very disappointed, but she still didn't give up: Look at how Yenching University can become a world-class university?
Professor Ji: Yenching University is already a world-class university. There is no problem of how to become. But to go further, it is mainly a problem of money and education funding. If you don’t have money, you can’t hire a good professor and you can’t run your school well. Everything else is empty talk. Now, everything about education is fake, and if you don’t increase your investment, it’s all lies. No matter how good you say it is, it’s all lies.
The old man is so honest...
Just like Liu Cixin now...
Yang Lan has always wanted to lead Liu Cixin in the direction of literature and art, and interview literati's long-term professional habits, just like Lu Yu likes to ask the stars how sad they were in the past...
