Section 80: Interview
"I will now draw a lucky audience to complete the following game with our Director Duan Du! Big screen, scroll!"
Du An looked at the host beside him with a smile and shouted excitedly as if he had been injected with chicken blood, without saying a word.
This is the show "Lu Yu has an appointment" - to be honest, Lu Yu has an appointment, and the host with a suit and ties tie and hair neatly combed back is Lu Yu.
Lu Yu has an appointment, Lu Yu has an appointment... I'm cheating on my father!
Lu Yu Youyou is an entertainment interview program on Sujiang Satellite TV City Channel - well, a very distinctive program.
"...Our program has set a precedent for similar programs in China, combining interviews and entertainment variety shows, combining movement and stillness, which is both entertaining and profound..."
This is what the director of the program said to him at that time. He thought about it and didn't understand how to take into account both entertainment and depth. In his opinion, it was as difficult as combining the artistic and commercial nature of the film. It was not until the day of recording the program that he got the program process: it turned out that it was to cut the program into two pieces, the first piece was to play games with the guests, and the second piece was to interview... What a clever way of combining it, which was shocking.
Originally, he heard that this was a local copycat version of Lu Yu, who did not want to come after an appointment, but he was idle and could make some money on the show - 20,000 yuan - so Duan came here to wander around according to the principle of not making money without making money.
I pretended to be expecting and looked at the big screen with the host, shouted "Stop" at the host's prompt, and then a number appeared on the screen.
37.
Lu Yu shouted: "Let us invite this audience!"
There was a female audience in the corresponding position. She shouted excitedly and jumped up, pushed the crowd away and rushed to the stage.
Listening to Lu Yu chattering about the rules of the game, Du An held a smile while thinking about his thoughts boredly.
It is August 13th. After a month of screening, "The Pretty Beauty" finally retired perfectly after being screened for a month and a week. As of the time of the downstream, the domestic box office received a total of 780 million yuan, which is a very amazing number, which is more than they expected. From the domestic box office alone, Duane estimated that he could receive more than 100 million yuan, and the title of billionaire is really settled. Therefore, he did not have the idea of going on shows everywhere to make money. Compared with filming, making money on shows is still too slow. If a show costs 20,000 yuan, how many years will it take to make 100 million yuan?
This time I came to participate in this program, mainly because I still have some time to pay for the box office dividends, at least until September. There are many places he needs to spend now: learning painting, arranging Su Yun to conduct gun training, daily expenses, all of which cost money, and always asking Shu Yu to borrow is not a problem, so I come here to make some money to deal with the recent expenses.
Especially when learning painting, the teacher from the Art Department of Nan Normal University that Ling Fei found for him was Zhang Daqian's disciple. He costs 500 yuan in two hours of class, which is simply a robbery of money. He really can't afford to take that class if he doesn't come here to get some money.
"...Okay, I believe that you have heard the rules of the game clearly, so next, we will start the game!"
As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, the female audience raised her hands and blushed and said, "I...I have a request," then looked at Du An and plucked up the courage and said, "Director Du An, can I...I can hug you!"
There were cheers everywhere in the audience, and Du An smiled and gave her a hug, which made her face redder. Then Du An felt even more resentful of acting: if she hadn't played the male lead in "Feng Yue", I believe this female audience wouldn't have made such a request. It would be better to be a director attentively. As an actor, she felt like she was selling herself.
After playing a few games, he finally entered the interview session and he was finally able to sit down.
"We all know that Director Duane, you are the youngest film director in the world today with a box office of over 1 billion yuan, and it only took you a year to reach the goal of 1 billion yuan, two movies. This has to be amazing and curious. After all, it is well known that you studied management in college, but you did what all the directors who graduated from college failed to do. Can you share with me any secrets?"
The scene became quiet.
Most of the audiences in the studio were arranged by people from the TV station, which is the so-called tutoring. Only a few of them got tickets through various channels. But even the vast majority of tutoring were really curious about this issue, so they consciously calmed down without the instructions of the director on the spot.
Du An thought about it and said slowly: "Everyone knows that I studied management in college. In my opinion, there are many similarities between directors and management - directors control the set, while management controls the company, which is essentially the same. So, I believe this is also an important factor in how I can control the set and shoot what I want. So I don't agree with the fact that I am a non-professional graduate. I think I graduated at least half-professional graduates."
"Of course, in addition to management skills, how to make a good movie does require some professional skills to a very large extent, and I have been doing related learning at this point..."
Interviews are not conducted randomly.
It is said that some interview programs are completely improvised, but "Lu Yu's Appointment" is not - he had a conversation with Lu Yu before he went on stage, and he also made a draft of the issues raised by Lu Yu, so he would not be caught off guard.
As the two were chatting, half passed in a short while. Suddenly, Du An's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Yu's eyes.
Has murderous intent.
"...We all know that Duane's latest new film "Fengyue Pretty" hit a high box office of 780 million yuan, and the global total box office has a chance to exceed 1.5 billion yuan, with a gratifying box office, while "Peacock" released at the same time only received more than 50 million yuan. What is the difference? What should the filmmakers in our country do about this phenomenon?"
This issue has already involved a dispute between commercial and art films, and it was not in the previous draft. Obviously, the program team put it together.
The tricky thing about this problem is that it is that it is ignorantly divided "Fengyue" and "Peacock" into two different camps, commercial and artistic films, which made him express his views on the dispute between commercial and artistic films.
The commercial and artistic disputes of the movie have always existed, and there have been constant debates about who is better and worse. No matter which camp Duane is going to stand in now, he will inevitably offend another camp. He has already had a lot of shit not being wiped clean, so it is really unnecessary to spread a splash of shit.
He just wanted to make some money by shooting movies, and he had no interest in such a camp battle.
Fortunately, he was prepared.
Du An smiled slightly and said, "Actually, "The Pretty Beauty" and "Peacock" are essentially the same, and they both want to express a concept. It happened that I saw a comment posted by a netizen on Douban some time ago, and it said it very well..." He roughly said the comment of "that netizen".
"…So, I think, what we filmmakers need to do is continue to make movies like "Peacock" and "Pretty Beauty".
Except for a few netizens who fell in love with Douban, other viewers, including host Lu Yu, were stunned: they only now know that "The Pretty Beauty" is actually an art film?... This is too irrelevant! But after careful consideration, they still have no way to refute it.
Lu Yu couldn't ask this question anymore: Since "Feng Yue" and "Peacock" are both art films, there is naturally no need to talk about the battle between the camp, and we can only talk about the personal level of the director. After all, since both films are art films, one has such a high box office and the other has such a low box office, then there must be a gap in the level of the two directors.
But he didn't dare to talk.
The battle between the camp has always existed and has been put on the table. It’s okay for everyone to talk about it, but this kind of problem that targets the director’s personal level is sharp and he dare not talk about it, because neither Du An nor Gu Changwei were the ones that he, a small host, could not afford to offend.
"Uh...by the way, Director Duane, in the face of success, do you have anything you want to share with us?"
He had no choice but to follow the manuscript and ended the question.
Duane continued to chat with him.
Not long after, the interview ended.
Du An didn't care about the program team's slandering him. He greeted these people with a smile and left directly.
After leaving the studio, he slowly walked towards the elevator. After walking a few steps, he happened to see the elevator door closing. Du An quickly jogged up and shouted, "Wait a minute!". When he arrived at the elevator entrance, the elevator door opened again.
"Thanks."
He thanked the people inside and walked in.
There were two people in the elevator, one man and one woman, the man was about the same height as him, and the woman was very petite.
After looking at the elevator panel, he found that the button on the first floor was lit and he didn't need to press it anymore. So Duane stood like this, facing the wall of the elevator door.
The elevator started and fell, and a sound rang in his ear.
"Duante Du's?"
He looked in the voice and it was that man.
The man was wearing a mask. When he saw Du An look over, he took off the mask and smiled a little shyly.
Du An looked at the man a few times and asked hesitantly: "Chen...Chen Kun?"
The man nodded, and Du An breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, Song Zhen was watching "The Golden Fenage Family" a while ago, and he also watched some of them. This person was the starring actor in it, and he had also recorded his name, so he could recognize him now. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for him to say hello to him but he didn't know anyone else. Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
