"China Film Report" is a movie program under CCTV6. In addition to CCTV, the broadcasting platform also includes Time.com, MovieNet, CCTV-related video websites, etc. At present, there are quite a few promotional channels for mid-range budget films.
They are expensive and cannot spend money on large-scale press conferences and distribution of materials, so this kind of program is very important to the film studio.
It's hard to get an appointment without some respect.
China Film, as expected of the Chinese prefix, my father is so powerful.
The hosts of this column group are on a rotating basis, and they are all women. This one is named Xie Ling. After a brief introduction to Fang Yi, she said bluntly, "I used to be the host of "The Book of Wealth" on the Yangma Agricultural Channel.
They are all written by our writing and directing team. I actually don’t know much about movies. To be honest, raising pigs is easier than making movies...so I won’t ask in-depth questions.”
"Director Fang, please forgive me if I made a joke."
Fang Yi smiled and said, "It's okay."
So on the set of "Love Letter", a separate cubicle was set up. The round lighting was like a corona, which made Fang Yi's skin very delicate. Host Xie waited for the director's OK gesture, and smiled at Fang Yi.
Build a relationship between them before the interview.
She looked at the black-rimmed glasses on Fang Yi's face and joked, "I thought Director Fang was very young, but he actually looks very mature now."
"Yeah?"
Fang Yi replied casually.
The host added, "You are the youngest director in China. Haven't you noticed? Everyone is curious about what you can produce. Since China Film approved the project for "Love Letter", several programs I have done have directors.
Come to inquire about the situation - for example, when I visited the cast of "The Orphan of Zhao" before, director Chen Kaige asked me if I had met Fang Yi..."
"Director Kai Ge said, that Fang Yi is so young. What will he film in the movie? He is so young, does he have any thoughts about the world?"
Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, wondering whether Chen Kaige was just getting high or if he really had a problem with him. He didn't expect to have offended this man before. He was stunned for half a second and replied jokingly, "When the movie comes out, I'll
Please ask Director Chen to go to the cinema to watch it in person - if he is willing."
"Who is that?"
When Fang Yi heard what she said, he looked in the direction she was looking at. It turned out that it was Guo Fan who was standing outside looking. When Guo Fan saw that Fang Yi had noticed, he put his hands together and made a guilty expression.
Fang Yi simply called Director Guo over and asked him to watch the battle two or three meters away from the camera.
Guo Fan originally worked at Travel TV as a editor and director. Maybe this scene reminded him of his green days as a passerby.
Fang Yi introduced, "This is also a director. He is a very young director - he is thirty years old. In the directing industry, he is considered young. I wonder if he has any thoughts about the world."
Guo Fan thought that Fang Yi was troubling Chen Kaige, so when he saw the excitement, he started laughing.
After that, the director made an OK gesture to the two of them. Fang Yi didn't wait for the host to remind him, lowered his head and took off his glasses, letting Guo Fan hold them.
Then raise your head.
At that time, the host shrank, as if he had been hit by a train, and suffered a concussion: "Hello viewers, I introduced you today... came to our site today... No, we went to interview today..."
She was so dizzy that she seemed about to fall down.
"sorry."
"It doesn't matter."
The host stood up, walked around Fang Yi twice, fanned his red face with his script, and sat down again after a long while.
She adjusted her attitude and couldn't help but said: "I haven't seen you before, I just heard about it... I just found out today that Director Fang is very different from ordinary directors. His appearance is really impressive."
The director jumped up and held up a sign: "It's being recorded!
!”
"Oh," she was tongue-tied and turned around stiffly, "let's get to the point."
"Hello, audience friends, today we invite...as our guest..."
Guo Fan was two or three meters away, staring straight at Fang Yi, entering into his imagination. The lighting lamp emitted white light, shining like a planet in the universe. He imagined that a few years later
Fang Yi, who has completely lost his student spirit, has a tall figure and elegant appearance, and is simply the most kingly male protagonist in commercial blockbusters in the East.
It's a pity, brother, I haven't finished the cartoon yet. It's really too far away to think about this.
Fang Yi, my dream!
He shook his head, drove the thoughts away, and secretly said to finish the current work first.
――――――
"When will "Love Letter" be released?"
"I don't know, maybe it's National Day, maybe next year." Fang Yi drew a line in the void and put his finger on the middle part, "There will be the World Cup in South Africa in June. All the men have gone to watch the game. There are movies all over the world.
They will all hibernate."
"July and August are the traditional strong seasons for Hollywood blockbusters. Due to the huge upgrade of the theater giant screen brought by "Avatar", in the past two years, the audience's enthusiasm for visual effects blockbusters is booming, and it is difficult for domestic films to win.
However, China Film Group does not recommend risking your life during this period. After all, if you save people and lose land, you will save both people and land; if you save land and lose people, you will lose both people and land."
"In the Lunar New Year festival in December, several major directors are fighting each other, and the audience can't watch it at all. Obviously, the only space left for other films is October and next year."
Host Xie showed a blank expression. When Fang Yi saw this, he gave her some knowledge, "The movie market is winner-takes-all. Two or three big movies are accompanied by a dozen mid-range movies, and the rest are almost all unaffordable."
Splash."
"In extreme cases, for example, "Hero", released at the end of 2002, won the box office championship in both 2002 and 2003, and even accounted for a quarter of the total box office of domestic movies in 2003."
Host Xie lowered her head to read the script and nodded as if listening to the lecture. Following the question, she raised her head and said: "In March, the Forbes China Celebrity List ranked you at 39th. This is your first time on the list.
, ranked so high, it broke the record.”
"In the past, apart from the champions in the Olympic years, Liu Tianxian was the first star to have the highest ranking. She got 66th place... What do you think of this record? Is it a burden to you, or is it an inspiration?"
Fang Yi: "It's nothing. I just heard about this."
Xie Ling was shocked: "Don't you know?"
"Why do you need to know - I was filming at the time and didn't pay much attention. Because I was a director, no one on the crew came to inform me of the good news and encourage me. I was racking my brains to encourage others."
Xie Ling asked, "How do you feel now that you have noticed it?"
"I'm still happy...but not so happy that I'm crazy. Maybe next year I'll be high school, uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com Maybe I'll quit next year, I don't care too much."
Xie Ling carefully discerned the expression on Fang Yi's face. She really couldn't see any proud emotion. She felt it was incredible. She blinked and sighed again, "Director Fang, you are really different...but definitely, definitely
," she emphasized in an insider's tone, "Your team is obsessed with this. I heard people say that they are skillfully catering to the celebrity list."
In order to get interesting news and create gimmicks, I asked Fang Yi about his ideas about the box office.
He gave the answer of "100 million" for the mainland market.
This answer is actually quite crazy. Last year, there were only 13 films that made over 100 million yuan. Excluding those from Hollywood, there were very few domestic films left.
Xie Ling thinks this gimmick is good.
But she remembered the chat at the beginning, which was not recorded.
She asked: "When your movie is released, will you really let Director Chen Kaige watch it? What if he criticizes you?"
"Director Kai Ge, you are not merciful when you speak, he...he..." the host hesitated and did not continue.
Fang Yi continued, "Everyone has the right to say bad things when watching a movie. I accept it with an open mind."
"Are you saying that Director Kai Ge can't accept criticism? After all, he once took short video producers to court."
