Zhang Zhong didn't lie, he came here just to watch a movie.
However, the reporters obviously didn’t believe that there was a need to go all the way from Jiangyang to Shanghai when the movie could not be watched.
"Teacher Zhang, the recent two new movies have done very well at the box office. Congratulations. We all know that some of your works are also particularly suitable for the Fengyu Film Festival, such as "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood", "The Soul-Breaking Gun", etc. It's a pity that
Yes, these two films have not participated in the Fengyu Film Festival. I wonder if your works will appear in the film festival in the future?"
Zhang Zhong replied, "I'm just the author of the original novel. You still have to ask the directors more about the movies. Especially Guan Bao, he directed the two movies you just mentioned."
"Do you have any movie plans next? I heard that a company is very interested in your "Blindspot" series."
Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows and said, "You are quite well informed. There is indeed a company talking to us about the film and television adaptation of "Blind Spot", but it is still in the preliminary discussion stage and there is no concrete result yet. Don't rush.
, when the results come out, we will announce them on the official website as soon as possible."
"Teacher Zhang, can you tell me why your own company did not film "Blind Spot" but handed it over to other companies?"
"Our company has a lot of works. In addition to my own works, there are also works by many other writers. If our company were to shoot all these works by ourselves, it would definitely be impossible. At least for the time being, we do not have the energy. Instead of
It is better to release the copyright at the right time than to hold the copyright in your hands, leaving more energy and focusing on doing something." Zhang Zhong said.
"Teacher Zhang, will you focus more on film and television adaptations in the future? Obviously making movies is more profitable than selling books."
"Is it because I haven't published too many books recently, so you have this illusion? Others will do the film and television adaptation, and my main focus will still be on teaching and writing."
"Teacher Zhang Zhong, your company has announced many promotions in the past few days, including collector's edition book sets. Some people speculate that you want to set a personal book sales record on the 23rd. I wonder what your response is to this?
"
Zhang Chong said with a smile, "You will know about this on the 23rd. Well, it's a bit cold outside today, so I'll go in first, so you guys have a better time."
After saying that, Zhang Zhong walked towards the Guanshan Auditorium.
What's more interesting is that after Zhang Zhong arrived, there were no reporters in front of Xu Huohai, but he did not move forward, but waited where he was.
Zhang Zhong passed by him and nodded to him.
After Zhang Zhong entered the auditorium, Xu Huohai waited for the reporters to come back with a smile.
I have to say that sometimes being an artist does require a little thick skin.
Zhang Zhong entered the auditorium hall and quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
Except for Shen Jian and some members of the organizing committee, no one knew that Zhang Zhong would come today, so most of them were very surprised when they saw him.
People in the film industry generally have two feelings when they see Zhang Zhong. One is respect for great writers. Even if some people don't like to read books, they will show respect for literature when facing Zhang Zhong.
The second is respect for a big IP holder, because the IP and resources in Zhang Zhong's hands are directly related to them.
How many directors don’t want to make Zhang Zhong’s novel?
How many actors don’t want to play the characters written by Zhang Zhong?
Zhang Zhong looked around the hall, quickly found Shen Jian, and walked over with a smile on his face.
Shen Jian also saw Zhang Zhong early in the morning, but because there were many friends in the circle around him, he couldn't leave directly to find Zhang Zhong, and he was too embarrassed to call him loudly in the hall.
When Zhang Zhong approached, Shen Jian smiled and said, "I thought you would be surrounded by reporters and wouldn't be able to get in for a while."
Zhang Chong smiled and said, "It's okay, the reporters are quite considerate of me."
Shen Jian curled his lips secretly, thinking that it wasn't that the reporters were considerate of Zhang Zhong, but that the reporters knew Zhang Zhong's temper and didn't dare to offend him.
If there weren't others around, Shen Jian would definitely confront Zhang Zhong.
"Here, let me introduce these people to you." Out of courtesy, Shen Jian took Zhang Zhong and introduced a few people around him.
These people are all actors, and they are all capable actors.
In a place like Fengyu Film Festival, there are relatively few idols, and most of them are real actors.
Zhang Zhong smiled and greeted them one by one, and then said with a smile, "This is my first time to participate in an event like a film festival. I am not as experienced as you all."
One of them smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are being humble. You have never seen any big events. The film festival is probably not worth mentioning to you."
"It's too praised." Zhang Zhong asked Shen Jian again, "Do you have a list of today's movies? I'm blind now and I don't know what movies I will see today."
"I'll go get you one. I didn't go get it either."
After getting the list of films from the Fengyu Film Festival, Zhang Zhong began to study them carefully.
The Fengyu Film Festival is not that long, it takes about a week, and today is the first day.
During this week, you will see a total of fifty films, including thirty-five feature films and fifteen short films.
It does not mean that all fifty films will participate in the competition. They are divided into four modules: participating films, non-competing films, short films, and special categories.
There are actually only twenty films in the main competition section.
It is these twenty films that Zhang Zhong focuses on.
This list is written in great detail, including the film's name, genre, market, language, the list of main creators, and introductions of key personnel.
"Take a good look. If you like it, I can take you directly to see the director himself." Shen Jian said next to him.
Zhang Zhong looked at the process timetable and said, "What a pity, there is no way to watch all twenty movies in these two days."
Shen Jian laughed out loud, "Even if you really put these twenty movies in two days, you won't have time to watch them. How can you watch ten movies in one day without sleeping?"
"That's why I say it's a pity."
"Actually, you don't need to come to this film festival at all. It's not so troublesome to choose a director. Just announce to the outside world that you are going to shoot "Sophie's World". I think a director will take the initiative soon." Come and contact you. Most of those who dare to contact you are confident. If you ask them to send you the works they have taken, you will be able to select them soon."
Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "If I can't find the right one today, I'll do what you said."
