Chapter 220 Interview

If Zhang Xiaoming had a parachute on his back, he could jump directly into the plane, and his face would be almost thrown into the Pacific Ocean!

I thought the reporter knew him and wanted to find out about the new drama from him, but he didn't expect that he didn't come for him at all, but for this bastard wearing sunglasses!

This guy's surname is Zhang, and he is also a director? Zhang Yang? No, Zhang Yang is not that tall, nor so young! Who is this guy? Zhang Xiaoming stared at Zhang Ran in a daze, and couldn't help but guess who he was.

At this moment, Zhang Ran was also a little stunned. No, was he actually recognized? I am not so famous, right? He was a little worried that the media has never been moral, and a report on "Zhang Ran's Fighting in the Plane" will be released.

When the female reporter saw Zhang Ran watching him stop talking, she thought he was refusing, so she once again told her home and said, "Director Zhang, we are reporters from the "Beiping Entertainment News". Can you ask you a few questions?"

The flight attendant stopped when he saw that it was a reporter's interview and looked at Zhang Ran. If Zhang Ran refused, then she could ask two reporters to return to her position and not disturb other passengers. If Zhang Ran was willing to accept the interview, she would not be able to interfere.

The passenger looked at Zhang Xiaoming and Zhang Ran. It turned out that this person was a director and he sounded very famous. The fake Li Gui met the real Li Kui. This matter is interesting!

"Your eyes are too sharp, you can be recognized in this way!" Zhang Ran took off his sunglasses. Although he didn't like the media that randomly reported, he didn't want to leave people with the impression of being a big shot.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoming finally saw Zhang Ran's appearance clearly, his eyes widened, and his face felt hot. He felt that this world was too fantasy! He thought he was just an ordinary passenger, but in the blink of an eye, this guy became a rising star director in China. You are talking about a celebrity, and you are a director who won a big prize abroad. If you don't go to first class, why are you going to join in the fun of our economy class? Isn't this a scam?

Zhang Xiaoming didn't have the face to stay any longer. He really didn't look good enough with Zhang Ran, so he returned to his seat in shame.

The female reporter smiled and said, "Director Zhang. You won the highest award at the Tokyo Film Festival. Many media are waiting to interview you, but they can't find you. It's so low-key. Now "Before Dawn" is sold at a sky-high price. The media wants to interview you, but they still can't find anyone. Now the reporters from various newspapers are digging three feet to find you. I can recite your information backwards, how can I not recognize it!"

"Dandan. You can sit at this reporter's position for the time being. You will come back after she has finished the interview." Zhang Ran patted Wang Luodan next to her on the shoulder and signaled her to give the position to the female reporter so that she would not stand in the aisle and hinder others.

When Wang Luodan got up, Zhang Ran smiled and said to the female reporter: "Sit down and ask. If you can answer, I will definitely answer. If you can't answer, I promise I won't say a word!"

The female reporter was slightly stunned when she saw Wang Luodan give way to her. She had interviewed many people, and artists who had tasted the taste of the valley were usually more sober, and those who became famous overnight were prone to self-inflation. In her opinion, Zhang Ran was the kind who went smoothly. After graduating from a prestigious university, she returned to China to make movies and succeeded one after another. In addition, she had not been able to interview Zhang Ran, and she thought Zhang Ran was the kind of person who was particularly difficult to interview, but she didn't expect to be so easy-going.

The female reporter felt a little warm, and sat down at Wang Luodan's position. Pointed the recorder at Zhang Ran and asked: "Director Zhang, "The Blast Drummer" caused a sensation when it was screened at the Tokyo Film Festival, and the audience responded very strongly. Domestic audiences are looking forward to this movie, and I wonder when it will be released?"

Zhang Ran replied with a smile: "The movie is released by China Film and should be released during the Spring Festival. I originally wanted to be released during the Christmas period, but during the Christmas period there was "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou. "Hero" is an aircraft carrier, and our movie is a small sampan. I dare not play with "Hero", so I will be placed during the Spring Festival!"

The cabin was very quiet, and everyone was listening to the female reporter's questions and Zhang Ran's answer. At this time, they finally knew Zhang Ran's identity and started to talk in a low voice. Celebrities and directors were always very special in everyone's eyes, and they inevitably felt curious: "That's Zhang Ran, I especially like "Prisoner of Time", it was very good to shoot!"

"I heard that "Before Dawn" sold 850,000 yuan per episode, which is more than 20 million yuan, which is so amazing!"

"This is Zhang Ran. My daughter likes him very much. She said she will take the exam for his class in the future. I will get an autograph later!"

...

The female reporter asked: "Director Zhang! The domestic film market has been sluggish in recent years. Many movies that won awards in China have had a bad box office. Even the movies directed by Zhang Yimou have a very poor box office. Is this movie different from other award-winning movies? Do you have any expectations for the box office?"

"Director Zhang Yimou and other domestic directors are deeply influenced by European films, especially the French New Wave. The most prominent thing about the New Wave is to oppose rationality, tradition, story structure, and focus on expressing people's subjective experience and psychological activities, which may be more dull for ordinary audiences. My movies are deeply affected by American movies, and pay more attention to stories. With commercial considerations, it may be more in line with the audience's taste. As for the box office, I am satisfied that it can reach 20 million!"

All the students in the class have watched "The Breaking Drummer". In their opinion, it is really a super good and super awesome movie. When Zhang Ran predicted 20 million, he felt it was too low: "Teacher Zhang, your expectation of such a good movie as "The Breaking Drummer" is only 20 million, which is too low! At least you can claim 50 million, otherwise you will not be confident!"

"That's right, I should have paid 100 million no matter what!"

"One hundred million is too high, and you will be regarded as a lunatic. Jia Niaoliang, is your brain man getting into the water, right?"

Everyone in the circle knows that Zhang Ran is a teacher at Beijing Film Academy, and the female reporters naturally know that when they heard Jia Niaoliang and others call Zhang Ran a teacher, they couldn't help asking: "Director Zhang, are these your students?"

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Yes, these monkeys are my students!"

The students stopped doing it: "Teacher Zhang, you should protect our image in front of the reporter. Even if you don't praise us for being smart, lively and cute, you can't say we are monkeys, right?"

"You are our teacher. If we are monkeys, then you are the Monkey King!"

"Yes, you are the Monkey King!"

The female reporter thought the group of students was very cute and smiled and said, "Director Zhang, you have a good relationship with students. Are you taking the students to film or something else?"

"No, take them to experience survival in another place!"

“Experience in other places?”

Zhang Ran explained with a smile: "There are 30 students in our class. Each of them has a basic living expense of 20 yuan. They survive in the Magic City for 10 days, including accommodation, meals, etc. What should I do if I don't have enough money? It depends on their hands to make money. During these ten days, they will not receive any external assistance and have to earn enough air tickets to return to Peking!"

The female reporter was surprised: "It is very difficult to live in the Magic City for 20 yuan for ten days. It is even more difficult to earn enough air tickets. It is simply impossible to complete it! Have they completed it? Why did they organize this event?"

"People are very interesting. They always have to grow and hone in suffering, especially for actors. If an actor's experience is as pale as paper, it is difficult for you to imagine that he will have excellent acting skills. To play a person who is heartbroken by a broken heart, then you must at least have emotional experience. If you have never even had a relationship, it is difficult to present that state in reality! Of course, you can use skills to represent it, but this kind of substitute emotion is still different from the real state!"

The female reporter nodded, Zhang Ran's words made sense. She looked at the students around her and asked, "Can I interview the students in your class?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "If they don't refuse, of course there is no problem!"

When Jia Niaoliang heard that the female reporter was going to interview, she tidied up her hair, tightened her clothes, and coughed, trying to attract the attention of the female reporter.

However, the female reporter ignored him and pointed the recorder at Zhang Xinyi on the other side of the aisle and asked: "How do you feel when you participate in this event?"

"In the past, I spent money basically. When I was in the school, I had to consider eating a white steamed bun for breakfast. On the first day, I went to send a flyer and ran to 5 20-story buildings, more than 2,000 steps, and 300 rooms. In a building, an aunt pointed at her nose and scolded her. I hate you guys who posted small advertisements the most!"

"Are you tired these days when you go to the Demon City for survival training?"

"I've never been so tired before. At the beginning, I went back to the hotel every day and fell asleep. It's better to go to the back!"

"You are students of the performance department of Beijing Electric and the pride of heaven. But the teacher asked you to work. It's so hard and you are scolded. Do you feel wronged? Do you have to suffer so much? Do you know how hard you have endured?"

"From the heart, I feel a little wronged. After all, I have suffered so much. However, as an actor, this grievance is nothing. This is a kind of practice. Of course, it is impossible to tell my family that I am afraid they will worry!"

"Have you ever cried when you feel wronged?"

"I cried. I didn't cry when I was scolded by the aunt that day, but I cried when I turned my back. I felt really wronged."

The female reporter found several students for interviews to learn about everyone's views on survival training. Soon she shifted the focus of the interview to Zhang Ran. Zhang Ran was still very cooperative and answered whatever he had, especially when facing the question of "Before Dawn", he answered it carefully, which was also a promotion for Chen Zhenghong.

"Director Zhang, thank you for accepting our interview!" After the interview, the female reporter shook hands with Zhang Ran, and then smiled and said, "Director Zhang, I am your fan. Can I take a photo with you?"

"Of course!" Zhang Ran was a little surprised. After all, he had few works, but since he was his fans, he would definitely support him.

"Director Zhang, thank you! Help me take a photo with my idol!" The female reporter stood beside Zhang Ran, without much movement, but her face was filled with a happy and excited smile.

The flash flashed by.

The female reporter thanked again: "Thank you, Director Zhang!"

Back at the seat, the photographer said curiously: "Jia Jia, I didn't expect you to be a fan of Zhang Ran, but he is really handsome, and it's absolutely fine to be an actor!"

"It wasn't before, but it's not from today!" The female reporter smiled and said, "It wasn't that I had never interviewed a director before. I really met a director like him!"

In the afternoon, the plane circled over the Capital Airport and slowly landed.

When the plane stopped, everyone got off the plane and walked towards the exit while talking and laughing.

After leaving the airport, a turbid breath came to my face. Everything is good in Peking, but the quality of the air is really poor.

Jia Niaoliang whistled to the sky: "Beiping, I'm back!"

The tourists around looked at Jia Niaoliang in surprise. The young man looked good, but unfortunately he had some mental problems.

The students in the class turned their faces to the side, I didn’t know this guy! Zhang Ran kicked Jia Niaoliang: “Don’t embarrass me, get out of here!”

The students in the class lined up to get on the bus, while Zhang Ran got on the taxi. After taking a firm seat, Zhang Ran reported his destination: "Go to Zhongguancun!"

Five hours later, Zhang Ran boarded the plane to Los Angeles with some video materials produced by the special effects studio. (To be continued.)
