"The next "Zhou Jielun"? Will you stick to the labels others give you?"
"Karasawa: Why I don't think I'm a genius!"
"Face-to-face interview with Central Minister Tang Ze, meeting you at 22:15 on Sunday!"
"If you want to understand a person well, you must understand his heart. On Sunday at 22:15, Tang Ze will meet you face to face!"
"Facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming, Tang Ze said that only spiritual liberation is true happiness. See you in the face-to-face column at 22:15 on Sunday!"
In order to pave the way for the hype between him and Zhou Jielun, Tang Ze accepted the interview program "Face to Face" of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China that day.
Facing Tang Ze, a young idol, the central government also paid enough attention to it.
After the recording was completed, the media actively promoted it.
Now, almost everyone who pays attention to Tang Ze knows that he participated in this interview.
For example, Zhou Jielun.
The title of the next "Zhou Jielun" attracted him.
Early on, he sat in front of the TV and waited.
Yang Junrong glanced at him: "Is it so early today? Usually after you finish the promotion of "Big Slam Dunk", you will go to the recording studio to spend some time, right?"
Zhou Jielun was currently checking reports about Tang Ze. He came to his senses and said, "Oh, I have a program I want to watch today, so I got off work early."
"The program I want to watch..." Yang Junrong glanced at the screen, "Tang Ze's "Face to Face" interview? Tang Ze..."
He asked curiously: "Speaking of which, what happened to you outside the theater that day? I guess you had a fight?"
Zhou Jielun pursed his lips slightly and said, "It's nothing. How could there be a fight? We just talked about something. Tang Ze is an interesting person."
He is a person who refuses to admit defeat. How can he say that he lost to Tang Ze in "quick composition"?
"Do you want me to participate in this interview?" Because of Tang Ze, he subconsciously wanted to participate in the "Face to Face" interview, not wanting to fall behind Tang Ze in some aspects.
Yang Junrong shrugged: "It's up to you, it's not like you can't get in... Oh, here we go!"
At the beginning of the interview, the first thing that appeared was the narrator's introduction to Karasawa. The starting point was the "Don't Stop the Camera!" filming behind-the-scenes provided by Karasawa, which can be regarded as attracting attention to the movie.
"I am the host Wang Zhi!"
"I am Karaze!"
At the beginning of the interview, Wang Zhi went straight to the point: "There is a saying that Tang Ze is the next 'Zhou Jielun', but he cannot replace 'Zhou Jielun'."
"I don't know if this is a compliment or a criticism of you. Have you heard this? How do you evaluate yourself?"
Tang Ze said calmly: "I often hear, and I agree with the second half of the sentence, that I really can't replace Zhou Jielun, and I can't replace anyone, and no one can replace others."
"The first half of the sentence is actually a kind of labeling behavior. Zhou Jielun stood high enough. If you did what he did, it is not an exaggeration to be evaluated like this."
"Just like words like the successor of a certain king or queen, you don't have to worry about it."
"When you reach the heights of others, people will no longer judge you like this."
"Then you will find, oh, there is a prefix in front of the title of King of Heaven, such as Asia or KTV."
"Haha!" At this time, many people sitting on the TV watching Tang Ze's interview were amused.
What the hell KTV.
This Tang Ze is really good at bullshitting. How can there be a KTV king?
But after thinking about it carefully, I found that this actually makes sense.
There are never enough labels. If you accidentally take over a certain title, you will find that there is a bigger one above. Will you give up or continue to work hard?
Then Tangze gave them the answer:
"In fact, you can just regard this as a label given to you by others. It's up to you whether you want to label it or not. It is not mandatory in itself."
"Sometimes you feel unhappy because you care too much about other people's opinions."
"Once you liberate your mind and have nothing else in your mind, you will find that happiness is so simple and no one cares about you at all!"
"Pfft!" The audience in front of the TV wanted to laugh again.
But after thinking about it, I thought, Damn, this is too true!
Tang Ze, aren't you claiming to be the master of chicken soup? Don't put poison in it!
"Of course, if you hate living forever in other people's definitions and don't want to liberate your soul, as the saying goes, just escape."
"Then work hard and persevere in your field until you prove your ability."
Wang Zhi nodded: "Just like the box office success of "Don't Stop the Camera!", you have proved that you can do better as a director!"
"So do you think you have gotten rid of the label of the next Zhou Jielun? There are still many people who say this about you, right?"
Tangze shrugged and said: "It is other people's right to evaluate a person!"
"Perhaps, in the eyes of others, Zhou Jielun's main business is music. If I can't compete with him in music, I will never be able to tear off this label, right?"
Zhou Jielun sighed when he saw this.
In fact, when he first heard about the little Zhou Jielun, he thought it was related to music.
I never thought that his main job is directing and he has only written one song.
It’s quite baffling to compare his main career as a director to his main career in music.
Wang Zhi asked: "Then do you think you can do it? With your new album?"
Tang Ze said without hesitation: "It's hard to say, but Zhou Jielun's height is also achieved by working on one album a year."
"Although I am confident about my first album "Positive Energy", whether fans and friends will like it depends on the feedback."
"Actually, this requires a lot of luck. Maybe my album suddenly became popular, but maybe it doesn't fit in with the music aesthetics of this era at all."
"Whether it is outdated or ahead of its time, it is always difficult to draw accurate conclusions about literary and artistic works."
"From this point of view, I am actually a very ordinary person. I like to pin the success of things on luck. I am far less confident than Zhou Jielun. He can always find the audience's taste!"
"Including my professional director, I think that the success of the two films was mostly due to luck and more love from the audience."
At this time, Zhou Jielun felt a little pain in his teeth and was shocked by Tang Ze's words.
Others who saw this also booed.
Good guy, "mediocre" Tang Ze, "mostly lucky" Tang Ze.
The two movies I made casually became phenomenal, and the songs I wrote casually easily topped the charts.
This is too pretentious and too modest!
Fortunately, Wang Zhi has excellent professionalism and suppressed his thoughts of complaining.
He wondered: "You think you are mediocre, that is to say, you think you are not a genius?"
Seeing Tang Ze nod, Wang Zhi became even more confused: "But that's what everyone said about you from the beginning. You became a director at the age of 21. Isn't this a genius?"
Tangze said sternly: "What is a genius? It is to easily do things that others cannot do."
"If you let a 21-year-old make a movie, no matter how good or bad the movie is, do you think other people who have learned professional knowledge can't do it?"
"The same applies to songwriting. Writing a bad song is also writing. I don't think it's unusual to be able to do it at the age of 21."
Wang Zhi nodded expressionlessly: "You are right. If you are not a genius, then what kind of talent do you think can be called a genius?"
It makes no sense... everyone in front of the TV couldn't help but lose their composure.
Then I was curious about Tangze's answer.
Regardless of whether they are just pretending to be sexy or not, they also want to see what a genius like Tang Ze is like.
Tang Ze thought for a while and said: "Actually, there are quite a few people in history who can bear the title of genius, such as Chopin."
"He learned piano at the age of 6, composed music at the age of 7, and became famous at the age of 10. I think most people don't even dare to think about such a legendary experience, right?"
"Even if they start learning music from their mother's womb, most people don't even have self-awareness at the age of 7. It's weird to be able to compose music!"
"Another example is Ramanujan. He didn't even have formal education, but he figured out 3,900 mathematical formulas on his own."
"Am I considered a genius in front of such predecessors?"
"Not at all. I can't even be considered a talented person, at most I can be considered a talent."
