Chapter 745 Four questions and four answers at the press conference
As soon as he opened his mouth, Sun Quan gave Wang Zheng the title of "genius director". As for the purpose? Of course it was for publicity.
With so many reporters here today, even if only a few media outlets use the title he casually assigned to Wang Zheng to write press releases, the publicity effect will still be achieved.
In the end, it will definitely be beneficial to promote the drama "Dead Man's Last Wish".
However, the reporters at the scene did not seem to notice the title he casually gave to Wang Zheng.
The scene was filled with surprise.
Questioning voices also arose in confusion.
"Mr. Sun! What did you just say? Are you serving as the director of the second film? Are you no longer the chief director?"
"Director Sun! What made you make this decision?"
"Director Sun! Is it because you knew that you did not play a directing role during the filming of the first season, so you took the initiative to step aside this time and make way for someone better?"
"Director Sun! Director Sun... do you know what the responsibilities of the director system are?"
…
The scene was in chaos, and a bunch of reporters came closer and pointed their microphones at Sun Quan, trying to dig out some secrets.
But Sun Quan looked at them like a bunch of stupid birds, with a smile on his face, but didn't answer any of their questions.
The host Bai Ling finally reacted and quickly reminded: "Everyone! It's not the media's question time yet. If you have any questions, can you ask them later? Please cooperate! Thank you! Thank you!"
Seeing that Sun Quan remained silent and reminded by Bai Ling's words, the reporters at the scene barely suppressed the restlessness in their hearts and became quiet one by one. However, the rhythm of pressing the camera shutter did not slow down, and pairs of eyes also
Staring at Sun Quan brightly.
They already had a hunch that they would definitely get big news from today's press conference.
Just what Sun Quan said just now... In the second season of "The Last Wish of the Dead", he will no longer serve as the chief director, and let Wang Zheng, the assistant director of the first season, take the position of chief director. Just from this, they are confident that they can dig out
A big news comes out.
With the popularity and reputation of the first season of "Dead Man's Last Wish", once this news breaks out, it will definitely attract the attention of countless people.
They have already thought of the title.
For example: "Who is the chief director of the first season of "Dead Man's Last Wish"?"
For example: "The exclusive inside story of the chief director of "Dead Man's Last Wish" stepping down to make way for a successor..."
Another example: "The chief director of "The Last Wish of the Dead" is actually a layman..."
…
On stage.
Sun Quan looked at the reporters who were staring at him like wolves with bright eyes, and the smile on his lips became a little thicker. Although he had never thought that announcing the news in public would trigger such a scene, but in his heart
Don't panic.
At this moment, I suddenly thought that this was a good opportunity - a good opportunity to further promote the drama "Dead Man's Last Wish".
When he originally decided to serve as the chief director of the first season of "Dead Man's Last Wish", one of the two reasons was to better promote the show.
Now, he finds that he is not serving as the chief director of the second season, but he seems to be able to help promote the show, and he is very satisfied.
As for whether this will damage your own image?
He actually doesn't care.
The key is topicality.
As long as it can help "Dead Man's Last Wish" appear frequently in media reports and let more people see and know about his show, he is willing to sacrifice a little bit of his own image.
Just think that the media helped him hype this drama for free.
As for your own image issues?
What's there to care about?
He himself knows what kind of person he is, his wife knows it, and his family, including Wang Zheng, Xue Zihan and others, all know it.
What's more, he really doesn't have the ability to be a director. Why not return this honor to Wang Zheng today?
Doesn't he have enough honor for someone?
Do we need another title like director?
…
really.
When the press conference reached the media question-and-answer session, the first reporter selected stood up and asked Sun Quan a question.
"Mr. Sun! May I ask why the chief director was changed in the second season? Is it because you asked yourself that you are not qualified for the position of chief director?"
When this question was asked, many people on the stage frowned. Wang Zheng, Xue Zihan and others looked at Sun Quan worriedly, and Huo Yiyi also looked over with a frown.
Host Bai Ling frowned and picked up the microphone, just about to say something.
Sun Quan raised his hand to stop her.
He looked at the female reporter who had just asked the question with smiling eyes. This female reporter didn't have much flesh on her cheeks, her lips were very thin, and she had a mean look. She was quite suitable for being a reporter.
"Yes! I am a novelist and have never learned how to be a director. Of course I am not qualified for the position of chief director! Next one!"
In front of everyone, Sun Quan admitted it, very calmly, just like admitting that he had eaten dumplings stuffed with chives this morning.
His frank admission was obviously beyond the expectations of everyone present. Suddenly, the whole audience was in an uproar, including Xue Zihan and Wang Zheng who were standing next to Sun Quan.
"Ah Quan?"
"Mr. Sun!"
…
The reporters in the audience were also discussing in an uproar.
"He admitted it, he actually admitted it..."
"No? He didn't deny it?"
"Are you so kind? Isn't this a bit stupid?"
"Doesn't he want to lose face?"
…
Huo Yiyi looked at Sun Quan in confusion. At this moment, she was really confused and couldn't understand why Sun Quan would admit it directly. Even if everyone has such suspicions, if you don't admit it, others can still force you to confess your words and deeds? Why?
To admit it?
The host Bai Ling was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening. She was also confused at this time, but she still remembered her responsibilities and quickly pointed at another reporter.
"This journalist friend wearing glasses, do you have anything to ask?"
The reporter who was named stood up excitedly, subconsciously pushed down the glasses on the bridge of his nose, quickly took the microphone handed over by the staff, and asked very quickly: "Mr. Sun! Since you know that you are not qualified for the position of chief director.
, then why did you serve as the chief director of the first season? Is it to compete for fame and fortune? Is it to prove to the outside world that you can succeed in anything you do?"
This issue is obviously very acute.
Sun Quan was inexplicably reminded of "genital warts"...
So he smiled again, "In order to ensure that the plot of this drama is in line with my original work, and to produce the picture style I want, and to use my fame to promote this drama! Next!"
This time he didn't admit it.
To fight for fame and fortune? To prove to the outside world that he will succeed in whatever he does?
This stigma was too ugly. Although he wanted to use it to promote "The Last Wish of the Dead", he still refused such an ugly stigma.
And his answer was also his original thought.
As for whether the reporters at the scene believe it or not? That's their business. Anyway, this is Sun Quan's real reason, and he is not guilty.
"Really? Then why don't you serve as the chief director in the second season?"
The male reporter wearing glasses wanted to ask another question.
But Sun Quan's answer was: "Next one!"
Each reporter only has one chance to ask questions, and Sun Quan kept this principle in mind.
But after the third reporter who was named stood up, the questions he asked were also thrown to him, and they were in the same vein as the questions asked by the previous two reporters.
"Mr. Sun! Since you just said that you served as the chief director in the first season for the quality of the series and the promotion of the show, then why did you not serve as the chief director in the second season? What prompted you to make this decision?
Such a decision?"
The reporter who asked this question is a woman, and she also has a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes and a fair complexion, which is in line with Sun Quan's aesthetics.
So because she matched his aesthetics, Sun Quan also gave her a smile, raised his right hand, raised two fingers, and said calmly: "Two reasons! One, "The Last Wish of the Dead"
The fame of the first season has already started, and I feel that when the second season is finished and aired, there will be no need to rely on my personal fame to attract viewers. Secondly, everyone here should know that my main job is writing.
My new book will be serialized online soon. During the serialization period, I need to devote a lot of time to writing every day, so I may not have time to stay on the set all day. Next!"
Even if the female reporter's appearance matched his taste, Sun Quan did not give her a chance to ask a second question.
Equality between men and women! It must be implemented in every corner of life. If women must be given priority, Sun Quan hopes that women should give priority to housework.
The fourth reporter stood up.
The reporter was short and thin, with a pair of protruding ears. When he stood up, his expression was very excited, as if a patient who had been paralyzed for more than ten years could finally stand up.
When it was his turn to ask questions, he didn't ask anyone else.
"Mr. Sun! You just said that you served as the chief director of the first season in order to make the plot of the show consistent with the original work as much as possible, and to create a painting style that you like. So I would like to ask, will you not do the second season?
As the chief director, do you think that the second season does not need to conform to your original work? Also, you don’t care whether the style of the second season is what you like?”
Sun Quan could see that these reporters were masters at stirring up trouble.
At this moment, looking at this reporter with a provocative ear, he wondered whether these reporters would be beaten into pig heads because they were too mean-mouthed in daily life.
Anyway, he felt that if there was such an annoying guy around him, he would most likely beat him up.
How did you get such a big mouth when you have such a mean mouth?
However, on the surface, he was still smiling.
Sun Quan glanced at the nearly 100 reporters present and said with a smile: "Today is the press conference for the second season of "Dead Man's Last Wish". I am not the protagonist today, so this is the last question I will answer today. If the next reporter friend is still
If you throw the question to me, you will waste today's opportunity to ask questions."
After a pause, before these reporters could react, Sun Quan answered the question just now.
"Journalist friend, I heard your question clearly, and it's a very good question! I even want to add a chicken leg to your dinner! Haha. That's right! First of all, after the first season of co-production, I have
I have great trust in director Wang Zheng’s ability. I believe he also understands the style I want, so I feel relieved to leave the entire crew to him for the second season!
Secondly, I’m afraid you have very limited understanding of the position of director producer. As a director producer, I have the right to express my own opinions on the filmed content. Moreover, in addition to being a director producer, don’t forget that I am also a salted fish film and television
The largest shareholder of the show, and also the largest investor and original author of the second season of "Dead Man's Last Wish". With so many identities combined, can't I still have some influence on the style and other issues of this show?
Again, in fact, I feel that during the filming of the first season, although I was nominally the chief director, most of the duties I performed were that of a producer. Therefore, I think it is reasonable for me to serve as the producer this time.
.”
After saying this, Sun Quan smiled, took half a step back, gave up the microphone position, and told all reporters present with practical actions that he would not answer reporters' questions today.
He knew that after today's launch conference, the media might interpret his words just now to mean all kinds of messy things.
But he doesn't care.
How he expresses it is his business, and how he reports it is the media's business. Whoever dares to go too far and misinterpret his meaning is fine! His company, whether it is 99 Braised Chicken or Salted Fish Film and Television, has a legal department
, the worst case scenario is to file a lawsuit.
Anyway, his grandson is not short of money.
If you can, just hurt each other! Let’s see who can survive the other.
"Ah Quan, you were a little impulsive just now. You shouldn't have announced this in front of so many reporters..."
As soon as Sun Quan took half a step back, Xue Zihan came to his side and whispered in his ear in a low voice.
On the other side, Wang Zheng also approached him and whispered: "Yes, you shouldn't have announced it in public like this. These reporters still don't know how to write about you."
Sun Quan had a calm expression and answered them softly, "It's okay, and that's a good thing! You can help us promote this drama, so don't worry!"
As for what he announced just now, will it make some of his book fans wander away from him?
Sun Quan also thought about it just now.
He feels that most book fans will not decide not to read his books in the future because of this book.
Because he is a cross-border director, he believes that most of his fans know what is going on.
In his memory, there were many people who crossed over to become directors in the original time and space. There were also novel writers who crossed over to become directors, and there were also actors and singers who crossed over to become directors.
But how many people can’t guess how these people became directors?
Is it that easy to cross borders?
At the beginning, Sun Quan had serious suspicions that most of those who crossed over to become directors were just seeking a name or using their own names to make money. Most or even all of the actual directing work should be done by assistant directors.
He also believes that many people think so.
But what's the point?
If those cross-border directors in the original time and space suddenly announced one day that the films they directed were actually mainly the work of the assistant director, would he be angry because of this? Would he condemn it?
He would just laugh it off and even admire the other person for having the courage to admit it.
He believes that most of his fans will have a similar reaction.
As for... there may be a small number of book fans who lose their fans? There is nothing that can be done about it. He admits the facts frankly, and he has a clear conscience. If he loses some book fans because of this, although he will feel regretful, he will definitely not regret it.
